The Billionaire’s Pretty Thief

Her words came out and fell on Blaze’s ears, he caressed her hair more and holheldr closer.

The cold was already too much and Crystal was getting shaky from it so Blaze had asked her to go inside to put on something tighter and also to have some rest. Agreeing to it, they both left for her room.

Crystal was happy in a calm way but it could be seen as Blase wanted her to be comfortable which was what was happening. Crystal feeling a deep feeling of sadness and guilt as to not telling Blase the whole truth, spoke out gently saying,

“I need to tell you everything Blaze, it won’t be nice if I keep it to myself whereas you want to help me”_ she spoke out keeping her gaze on the ground Blase took a look at her, but he still insisted that she if she is not ready to talk about it, then she should wait until the is convenient.

” But I want to talk about it now so that I can free myself from this hurt that I am feeling inside Blaze”, she whispered.

Making her way into the room, she walked inside with Blaze behind her. Everywhere was getting more silent as the lateness set in and the staff retired to their rooms waiting for the sweetness of sleep to come to take them to the fairyland. She sat on her bed while Blaze closed the door behind her and went to sit down as well.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Blase could perfectly understand that what she had in her chest to talk about was very difficult to voice out and he did not want her to be under any form of pressure as he did not want her to launch up another crying session again.

Squeezing her hands on her lap, she was more nervous than she was the first time, and watching her keenly, he noticed that she was making an effort to hide her tears but it was not possible as it could be seen holding onto her eyes.

Moving her lips simultaneously and raising her head towards Blaze, she said,

“My uncle was just pretending to be a good man but in reality, he has been a demon in disguise”.

With a sad expression and a keen sense of listening, Blaze interrogated Crystal to know something that had been turning in his head since she began talking and with a straight face he asked,

” Is he the one who did this to you?”, is he also the person who made you to st doing what you do to men?”.

Crystal burst out into tears and feeling all remorseful she apologized with hot tears in her eyes as they ran out like an opened tap. She explained that her uncle had made her believe that doing it was going to save her company from crumbling and that was the only way to get quick and good cash.

Narrating how her uncle convinced her to take up the task, Max will tell her that she is a beautiful and innocent girl so no one will ever suspect that she is a thief. Her innocent face always made a way for her and her pretty looks were irresistible.

“How did you always get your targets then because from what I know, your targets are always extraordinarily rich people”, Blaze asked wanting to know more.

” He has information about the people he wanted me to steal from. Details as to where the gym, eat, spend their leisure time and more others”, she announced feeling so guilty.

Telling him how she would do all sorts of deals just to please her uncle and to be able to take back her inheritance, each time it was never enough as he always had another assignment to be carried out over and over again.

***Feeling tired of idling around and being a thief, I decided to confront my uncle one more time and that was what led to all these now. Max slapped me for the first time and asked me not to talk about my inheritance again and he threatened to show me the other side of him.

As if that was not enough, he put me under house arrest and seized my phone with guards at my door guarding as though I was a common criminal in my own father’s Mansion.

To put the icing on the same, he planned for a wedding for me Blaze, my wedding to a strange-looking guy without even informing me. Gina was my only consolation and she had worked in the Mansion for years.

Thanks to her help, we were able to escape yesterday which was my wedding day, and dressing as maids was how we went unnoticed by anyone***.

She had narrated everything to Blaze and after that, she felt light having to talk to someone who cared.

Crystal was aware that her uncle was guilty but she knew that she was as guilty as telling Blaze that she was aware of the consequences of her actions, she does not regret exposing her uncle because he is wicked and heartless and does not deserve anyone in his life.

Continuing with her story, she narrated to Blaze how he got his information from his reliable source like he always did and that was when she was able to know where to meet with him at night.

Blaze taking a look at her and feeling pity instead of hatred, took up her hands, and with an understanding look he voiced out,

“You need not worry anymore, I am here now”.

His words made Crystal go silent for a moment and letting out some more tears, she asked him whether he was mad at her and he shook his head in denial saying,

” I am not angry with you Crystal I have always known that you are a nice person right from our first contact and what made me understand that you were not a bad girl, was when I noticed that you were untouched”.

Listening to that, Crystal instantly stood up on her feet, and feeling more hurt she asked him why he had to do that to her but Blaze, letting out that he had no idea that she was still pure, asked her to forgive him. Crystal turning to face him mumbled how he took away her pride without any concern, not remorse.

Blaze could see the anger and pain that was rising in her eyes and that made him not speak out about what had happened that night but held himself back as he thought that it was not a good idea yet, he had to take his time before saying it.

Walking closer to Crystal, he asked her to forgive him and that he could do anything to gain her forgiveness. Crystal staring at him with so much pain said that it was not his fault alone as she was also responsible for what had happened to her, if she had not accepted to do that last game for her uncle, then she would not have been in that situation.

Blaze laying his finger on her lips told her not to be in regrets because if she had not accepted to carry out that assignment that day, they would not have met each other so he was thankful for that day.

Crystal not understanding anything that was happening, let a frown as she wondered why he was so kind to her. Thinking of the unknown she rapidly walked away from him asking whether he had low motives and that was why he was so nice to her but Blaze said that everything he was doing was from his heart as he had grown to love her.

That information was too much for Crystal to process and with a heavy heart and exacerbated voice, she pleaded with Blaze to leave her room.

Blaze surprised at her sudden reaction, inquired whether he had said something wrong but Crystal feeling like he just wanted to have his way with her again, told him to go and that she needed to be alone to have some rest.

She could feel her head aching already and her sight was failing her too. Blaze left her room and wished her a good night as he walked out confused as to what had happened all of a sudden. Her mood changed drastically without even letting him know what the matter was.

Gina who had been happy that Crystal had finally found a man, smiled as she stood at her window looking outside and wondering what she was going to be doing while staying there.

Feeling afraid, Georgia and her mom had already filed a complaint immediately after Max’s men had left her residence Georgia wondering what might have happened to her friend or where she was exactly, asked her mom for help.

“Did you just observe what happened today Georgia?”, her mother thundered making an effort to avoid further problems. She told her daughter to stay away from Crystal as it could be seen that she was having problems.

” Mommy, we know that Crystal is not a troublesome person, she might just be in danger and my spirit is not in alignment with what her uncle had told me about the urgent traveling”, she spoke out trying to convince her mother to help her find her friend but her mom is too scared to meddle with other peoples affairs, told her that she did not want to hear anything concerning that matter again.

Georgia wasn’t upstairs to her room feeling sad as she could not do anything to persuade her mom to help her friend and she could not go back to Max’s house to see Gina ask her if she could get help out with any facet.

Sitting on her bed with the picture of her parents in her mind, Crystal slid herself a little to have some comfort, and without any struggle, she felt the breeze of sleep blowing closer to her and making her whole body heavy and she could not move it any longer.
