Chapter 34
Gina was feeling concerned about what was happening to her but there was nothing she could do herself as she feared Max with everything I’m her.
“I told you to leave this house but you did not listen, your uncle is not who you think he is?”, Gina spoke out with her head lowered.
Crystal was starting to understand what Gina was talking about but she felt like, her uncle had been a judge for nothing and he could not be that bad.
” You need to leave this house now, take some few things and leave now”, she insisted.
“But what about you, if he is that bad come with me”, she felt for her maid.
Crystal could not think of anywhere to go to except for her friend’s house Georgia but she had to get to the bottom of things.
Gina, taking off to check out of Crystal’s room, made her wonder what she was doing but she felt like Gina was overdoing things. Rising to her feet and thanking her for the massage, she went into her bathroom to take a shower and get ready to face whatever obstacle she faced.
Little did she know that the battle had just begun and she was going to be shocked by the things she would later discover. Gina went down to the kitchen, leaving Crystal in her room to get herself together and leave.
Crystal picked up her phone to place a call to her friend in fright, as she did not know what to do anymore, felt her heat holding up in her chest as though it wanted to pop out. Ringing Georgia’s phone, she picked up, and Crystal panicking, told her to listen to her carefully as she had something to say to her.
Georgia holding her chest as she was scared of what her friend was about to let out asked her what the matter was but Crystal crying out for Georgia to sit quietly a minute and listen to her, told her that she thought that she was in great trouble.
Taking a deep breath, she asked Georgia whether she had some money on her and also found out whether she could stay in her house for some time Georgia accepted wholeheartedly but still asked what was going on with her, but all she could tell her was to wait for her as she was going to come soon.
Telling Crystal that she was waiting for her to come and put in that her friend should not bother as she is here for her anytime and anytime. Crystal took out her little bag and put a few pieces of stuff into it, together with her parent’s album and dressing up, she left her room to go downstairs.
As she went downstairs, and out of the house, she was booked by a security agent that she had never seen before in the Estate. With a confused look, Crustal raised a question about who he was and what he wanted from her and his answer shocked her as she stood there like a sculpture.
” What?”, she questioned thinking that it was a joke and that the man was puttering but when he called her uncle and gave her the phone she understood that it was serious. Crystal could not believe that her uncle had turned her into a prisoner in her own house on climes thand at she was being stubborn.
“Uncle Max can’t be serious about this, like when did all these start that he will ask you to stop me from going out and also seizing my car keys?”, she asked the guard standing beside her after answering the call. She unlocked her doors with the unlock button on her car key and forced her way into her car, the guard stopped her and squeezing her hand and getting the key, pushed her into the house.
Crystal was still in shock over what was happening and thought that it was all a joke, she called on the gate person to come help her but he too had received a strong warning from Max not to let her go out of the house.
Crystal cried out but there was no one to help her. Gina had been instructed too not to let her out and that was why she had told her to hurriedly pack up her things and leave the house.
Crystal thinking of taking out her phone from her Bag and calling Georgia again looked at the guard and saw that it was not a good idea, so she slowly took out her phone and put it in her pocket whole, she went upstairs to her room.
The guard stood there and told her that she was only permitted to leave her room only when she wanted to eat aside from that, she was to stay in her room, and failure to do so will amount to consequences.
Crystal sat in her room and cried her eyes out asking God why her life had to be like that and what she had done to deserve such monstrosity. Her heart was telling her to call her uncle and thinking of her phone in her pocket, she took it out and dialed her uncle’s number.
Max who was in his office with one of the candidates who had applied for the job posted online, was present in Max’s office, getting the terms and agreement of his contract as he explained in detail what he had to do.
Blaze sitting in his office and imagining how splendid the evening would be in Crystal company, called up the restaurant again to ensure that everything was okay as he had instructed, and getting the confirmation he needed, he took it upon himself to forward the location to Crystal himself but unfortunately, her phone was already been seized by the lookout who was standing outside her room.
Max received a call from Crystal’s cell phone and called on the guard to take her phone from her before she could call anyone else with it. When her phone was been seized, only then did Crystal understand the gravity of what was happening to her and around her, but it was too tardy as she had become a jailbird with no one to call to come to her rescue.
Her mind went to Blaze in her monument of distress and she knew that if she could succeed in reaching him, then he could be of help to her but she did not have his phone number offhand so how was she going to reach out to him?
Soothing herself out, she mumbled convincing herself that all would be fine that and as soon as her uncle came back, she was going to meet with him and apologize for the awful occurrence that had taken place last night and that things were going to be fine, not know that her problems had just begun and her uncle’s real face was starting to be revealed to her.
Sitting on her bed, Gina knocked on her door and came inside with a platter of food, the guard was behind her to ensure that there were going to be no funny games between them both.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
” Take some food dear, and stop crying”, Gina said as she dropped the tray of food on the table and left. Crystal sat there thinking about what she had done to deserve such a thing and crying so much, she fell asleep without knowing.
Blaze, waited for Crystal’s reply to say that she had seen the message stating the venue but there was no word from her, so he arranged himself and thought that, it was one of her stubborn ways to behave and that she was going to be there no matter what.
Blaze finished his office early and thinking of something when he would be heading home to shower and dress up properly, he decided that he would have to stop by a flower shop to pay for a bouquet for Crystal, as he was anxious to meet with her again, and this time, he was going to tell her the truth about what had happened that night in his house.
Feeling all glad and optimistic that Crystal was a good person, he organized the files on his table and picking up his briefcase and cell phone, he locked up his office and told his secretary not to be late tomorrow, he went to get a lifter to go down.
Blaze was in a happy state and his mood was different as he was having feelings for the most beautiful girl ever though the circumstances under which they had met, were not the best. Crystal had slept off out of fatigue, and Max had taken a rendezvous with the one that he felt had the most exceptional criteria for the job he was assigned.
Thinking about his niece for a moment in his office, Max holding his head with the support of his elbow placed on his table, he thought of what had happened the previous night in his office and taking up the hand he had slapped his niece with, he looked at it like someone who could not justify the reasons as to why he has committed a particular crime.
Letting out a huge sigh, Max caressed his forehead which was creased with sweat and his thoughts ran to his late brother and wife but he had to do what he thought was the best. According to him, Crystal was too small to run the father’s business and he was the right person to do so since he had a mastery of it already.
Georgia was worried as her friend had called her since morning and it was almost evening, but she was nowhere thereto be found neither was her phone connecting. Scaring, she thought of going to her friend’s house to check on how she was doing but a cold thought held her back as she felt that going there might only worse things for her friend and she would not want that.
