The Billionaire’s Pretty Thief

He couldn’t stop thinking about her so he took it upon himself to search for her and warn her about the dangers she was into before the others did and he knew deep down in him that she was a good person.

He didn’t know where to find her, not her contact number so he just had to wait on luck to meet her again.

Crystal on her side was so furious and didn’t know what to do as her uncle had threatened not to release her father’s company to her if she didn’t fulfill her part of the deal.

“How could I have fallen into his trap?”, she repeatedly asked herself this question but it was difficult for her to have any answers because she was certain to have taken all the precautions as always.

Uncle Max was still in the dining very furious and his head was spinning with uncountable questions about how his niece had failed in a mission for the first time in her life since she started doing those deals.

” What could have gone wrong when she was with Blaze?”, but those were in answered questions.

He rubbed his big rummy with his hands pressing them hard as though he wanted to injure himself.

Filled with so much rage, he pushed a chair down and walked out of the room.

Crystal tried to be as calm as she could to come up with another plan to go get the money that was left.

“He dubbed me. That scheming two-faced son of a bitch drugged me and took away my honor and still gave me a briefcase filled with papers”. She said with anger raving in her eyes like a lioness.

She was determined to get back the money at least for the sake of her inheritance.

She had gone downstairs and asked the maid to make something for her to eat. She needed strength and she didn’t get to eat the whole morning.

The day was going to be long for her and she had failed her uncle.

She had to avoid her uncle at all costs till she had figured out how to get the money and brought it to him.

Crystal went into the kitchen and told the maid to make French fries and chicken breast sauce with a lot of veggies in them.

She was about to say another word to the maid when she heard her uncle come up behind her, and touch her on her shoulder saying,

” I am not mad at you anymore because I know that you did your best”, he spoke gently.

Peering up over her shoulder, Crystal’s eyes were filled with hidden tears as she looked at her uncle seeming to be understanding.

“You don’t need to cry little Crystal, all that we need is another plan, and this time it has to be better than the first”, he asserted.

Crystal knew that her uncle wasn’t a perfect person but this super understanding character trait of his was simply just amazing.

She wiped off the little tears that had fallen off from her eyes with the help of the back of her hand and she nodded to what her uncle had just said.

” I want you to go upstairs and have a rest while Gina makes your food and brings it for you”, he smiled at me.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

That was unlike Uncle Max and she knew it well, but the fact that he didn’t scold her again, made her feel much better about facing the day.

Deep down in her heart, she knew that was just another facade from her uncle as he was good at the art of manipulation.

Crystal went up to her room and she heard her phone ring and it was her friends who were calling for shopping as usual she guessed.

She pushed the Do Not Disturb button on her phone and she walked into a smaller corner of her room which served as an inner sanctum for each moment she got sad.

Lying on the sofa, her head rested on one arm while her leg was crossed on the other as though she was carrying the problems of the world on her shoulders.

Blaze was done with his friends but he didn’t seem to be too happy and his friend had noticed it.

The expression on his face was like that of a doorman who had not yet been paid for the month.

“Are you okay Blaze?”, his friend asked looking at him.

He looked at him and with a funny smile, he replied that he was doing okay.

Blaze was lying through his teeth and it was very obvious that something was on his mind but he couldn’t say it to anyone.

He walked to his car, opened the door, and sat in it for some minutes before driving off.

Crystal was still in the same position starting at the wall-to-wall glass in her room like she was a stranger that had never been in that room.

The knock on the door quickly snapped her out of her dreamland and she struggled to stand on her feet but cramps had made their way to her legs as she had been sitting in the same positions with her legs crossed and folded for some minutes.

Her limbs finally stood still and she opened her door. It was Gina the maid.

” Ms. Crystal do you mind me serving you in the dining room or will you have your food here in your room?”, She inquired nicely.

“You can bring it here Gina with a bottle of water”, she responded.

She left for the kitchen to get the food for her Mistress.

Blaze got back home and went straight to his room and laid down on his bed. His thoughts were unstable and he needed some sleep to get better.

His phone rang up and he searched for it not knowing on which part he had dropped it on the bed.

When he finally picked up the phone, he saw an unknown number calling him and he couldn’t think of whom it could be.

He picked up the phone and the voice on the other side of the phone was a lady.

” Hello, who am I talking to?”, he asked skeptically.

“It’s Miranda”, the person answered.

He could make out anyone by that name so he asked further,

” Which Miranda please and what do you want?”.

“I want you Blaze”, the caller was very direct in her words.

Sorry Ms, but I think you have the wrong number.

The caller laughed out loud and said, “Baby it is me, Miranda, we met last week at your house”.

He reminded himself of the lady he spent the night with last week and the memories of their encounter came flashing in front of him and he responded,

” Miranda the pretty girl”.

That was a trick he always used whenever he couldn’t make out a girl he had slept with or a girl he had dated in the past.

He met so many women daily daily had the courtesy to save up their number for obvious reasons.

“Can I come over to your house and keep you company, that is if you are not busy?”, she asked with a sweet voice.

This was a good thing for Blaze as he will be able to feel better.

He didn’t hesitate to give a favorable response to her and this was in his favor.

He hung up a call and rushed into the bathroom to take a shower and smell nice before the arrival of another victim in his house and his bed.

Crystal was done with her meal and she was able to find some sleep in the devastating state that she was in.

Her life was in a dilemma and her whole existence depended on the money that she had to bring so her uncle made her believe.

She slept like an angel who had never come across any trouble with anything or anyone.

Uncle Max came knocking on her door while she was asleep and she didn’t hear him as she was deep in it.

He pushed her door gently and smiled at the fact that she was easily manipulated by him.

He shut her daughter and with a heavy sigh, he left from there and walked away.

The day was slowly giving way for the night to come and the evening was steady with beautiful weather and stars in the sky.

Crystal woke up after a long sleep and she didn’t have control over her body yet. So she sat up on her bed and with the help of several pillows, she supported her back from hurting in that position that she was sitting.

It was sunset as she had noticed from glancing at her room because it had become dark.

” For how long did I sleep?”, she murmured to herself while she rubbed her head with the tips of her hands to ease the mild headache she was feeling.

She took her phone and removed the Do Not Disturb mode that she had activated during the day.

Her life was so lonely and full of sadness that sometimes she wished she had a sinking or even a pet to keep her company.

There was a knock on her door and she wondered who it might be.

“Crystal it’s Georgia, are you in there?”, the voice asked.

Georgia was one of her friends, the closest of them all.

” Yes Georgia comes in”, she spoke softly.

She locked the door and walked into the room but couldn’t see anything as the room was in total darkness. She could barely see anything. But after being in the dark for a while, she started seeing her friend and she now decided to address her.

“Are you okay Crystal? Why are you sitting in the dark?”. She interrogated as she reached for the switch.

Immediately after she had switched in the light, she now turned directly facing Crystal’s direction. Squeezing her eyes to see her clearly as she hears her cry.
