The Billionaire’s Pretty Thief

“Why did she have to react like that, did I push to the limit or did my declaration come out as a shock to her?”, Blaze wondered in silence alone in his room, surveying for answers in his mind as he could not understand she had to behave like that.

” There is no water here”, she said getting up from sleep to go get some. Crystal going out of her room and walking through the corridor to get some water in the kitchen, felt like there was someone that was standing behind her.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Turning her back to glimpse who it was, she was unable to see anyone so she continued walking through the dark corridor they had just some lights flashing through it.

Wondering why it was so dark whereas there was light there by the time she was going to sleep, she noticed that, someone had called her name from behind. Stopping for a moment and shivering like someone who was stroked with a bad portent, she turned her head slowly to see who it was that was calling her from behind.

“Who is it, show yourself”, she spoke out trembling as she walked behind slowly. Feeling that the person was coming towards her more and more, she screamed out saying that she was going to scream so that others would hear.

Reaching the part where the light was reflecting, the person’s face came out into the light and catching sight of who it was, she screamed out in fear and called out her uncle’s name, she started up to run into the house asking for help as there seems to be no one around. Going through the balcony, he followed her holding a knife in his hands.

” Help me, someone, I need help please”, she screamed out as she ran towards Blaze’s room to knock but there was no response from him and noticed that Max was catching up with her quickly, Crystal ran to the other side through the stairs hoping to get to Gina’s room.

Her tears flowed and were dashing out as she ran for her life through the stairs. Hitting her foot against the last step, she fell to the ground without any stamina. Making an effort to get back on her feet, she heard Max saying that she shouldn’t move an inch or else he was going to stab her. Crystal shifted on the floor using her buttocks and hands as elements to get away from her uncle but Max was already in front of her letting out a devilish smile and looking at her as he held her on the hair-pulling her further on the ground. Crystal struggling for her life cried out as he begged for him to leave her while calling out for Gina’s name but it seemed like everyone in the house had disappeared into thin air and she could not have any news of them.

“Uncle Max please let go of me I am begging you”, she cried out but he was bent on making her suffer for hurting his feelings at the wedding event.

Coming to a point, he stopped and took off his hand abruptly making Crystal hit her head hard on the floor.

” I think you don’t have any use to me anymore, so no need making you suffer as I can just kill you here and now”, Max mumbled turning around and standing in front of her with a killer tinge.

Pleading for her life and promising to do whatever he wanted her to do, Max laughed out loud and lowering his head closer to her, he said,

“I do not need you anymore my little niece as I have all of your inheritance and say hi to your parent for me”, Max let out holding the knife up with his both hands, Crystal’s body was covered with sweat as she screamed out in fear for him to stop but Max bringing down the knife, Crystal jumped out of her sleep screaming at the top of her voice.

The night was calm and cold the noise from the nearby cars could be heard from standing on the balcony. Everything was quiet till all of a sudden Blaze swallowed up in a very deep sleep, and gave attention to a loud noise coming from Crystals too. Going down from his bed, he slid his feet into his slippers that were lying down, and rushing out of his bed to the door, he opened it and went to Crystal’s room.

Gina who was equally awake at that time heard the sound, and recognizing Crystal’s voice, she ran out of her room as well leading the way to Crystal’s room. Blaze not being able to understand what had happened, bombed his maid at the entrance of the stairs, letting out that she had heard a noise coming from upstairs but Blaze in a hurry to reach Crystal’s room, walked quickly and reached her door, he pushed it open.

Not being able to see Crystal on her bed as it was empty, he switched on the light and walked into the room following the sound of the cries he was listening to. Gina had arrived behind him and met the maids, she asked what was happening, but they also said the same thing as they had heard someone scream from that direction upstairs. She turned her head and saw Blaze already inside the room, and walking behind him, she called out to Crystal but she did not respond.

” Crystal where are you, it’s me coming out”, Blaze said wondering from which direction the sound was coming out.

Gina feeling scared as she could not find Crystal in her room, took off to the bathroom to check whether she was inside but opening the bathroom door, she could not find her inside as everywhere was clean and empty.

Blaze asked Gina to quiet down, he turned to the closet as the volume was coming from there more and more. Walking towards it with a beating heart, Blaze was ready for anything as soon as he was going to open the cupboard. Breathing in heavily, he stretched his both hands to its doors, and with a force, he pulled them open finding Crystal hiding inside.

Confused and concerned he reached out for her hand calling out her name but before he could know it, Crystal pulled herself away screaming and begging for him not to kill her. Shouting her uncle’s name, she yelled at the top of her voice and the sharpness of her voice filled the whole house.

“I think she is traumatized by the experience that her uncle had made her go through Sir Blaze”, Gina said looking at Crystal with so much grief.

Blaze confused about her, turned to his maids and asked them to leave and go back to their respective rooms.

” But sir Blaze don’t you think that we should call a doctor?”, one said but Blaze threw her a killer look, apologized, and left with her colleague back to their rooms.

“I do not know what we are going to do now, I feared that this might happen”, Gina continued but Blaze asked her to stop thinking about negative things, turned back to Crystal in the Closet, and went down on his knees, he spoke to her calmly,

” Crystal, look at me, I am here okay, no one can come and harm you while I am still here trust me okay?”. Crystal looked at Blaze shivering as though she had been beaten by rain and glimpsing at her uncle through Blaze she yelled out again crying,

“pPleaseUncle Max don’t kill me, you can take my inheritance but please do not kill me”, flowed down causing Gina to sweep so much that she could not think of another way to help Crystal anymore.

Blaze went closer to her in the closet, and with a slow step, he looked at her and spoke out slowly bringing her memory back to the beautiful things that she had experienced. Crystal came to listen to him slowly and when he reached the point where he said that he loved her even with her shortcomings, Gina could witness the power of love as it seemed like, Blaze’s words were calming pills to Crystal.

” Come out now, your income Max cannot do anything to you here in my cottage as I am going to stop him from skimming a hairsbreadth of your hair”, Blaze assured her with his phrases.

Crystal quieted down and looked at Blase as though she wanted to make sure that he and his words were real, she stretched her right hand towards him, touching his face and neck while coming back to his lips and nose.

Gina who could not help do see her in such a state, stood behind Blaze, weeping bitterly at the situation that Crystal was in at that moment. Shifting his body closer to the dresser, Blaze extended his both hands to Crystal, asking her to come out of there and that he was going to tell her a good story.

She made her way out of the nook with her eyes looking smartly over the room to see whether Max was still there, but Blaze noticing the fear in her eyes, told her not to worry as there was no one in the room except him and Gin.

“Are you sure he will not come back?”, she asked like a baby that was scared for her life and was feeling her daddy’s protection. Blaze nodded positively assuring that no one else was there.

She turned to Gina who had been standing by the corner in silence but whimpering and asked,

” Why is Gina crying, what happened?”.

Blase told her not to worry about it as it was nothing. He took her back on the bed and the moment she was put on the bed, Crystal jerked out of it holding Blaze tighter than super glue letting out a shout as she began crying again,

“He will come back here, please do not leave me alone here he will come back”.

” No one will come here Crystal”, Blaze persuaded but she was too scared.
