The Billionaire’s Pretty Thief

Crystal rose to her feet and picked up her bag on the bed taking her car keys from the table, she told her friend that she had to go back home.

Georgia not been happy with her decision though she could not tell what was wrong with her friend, hugged her, and asked her to be fine as she was going to fix her problems with her uncle.

Crystal let out a fake smile and left her friend’s room.

Walking out to the balcony, Georgia stayed to catch a glimpse of her friend leaving her compound while she waved her goodbye saying,

“Do not hesitate to call me at any time if you need me”.

Crystal entered her car and drove off to get to the house. The dusk could be seen already as the place was getting dark.

Crystal had spent her whole day out of the house and she was getting tired of her uncle’s excuses and assignments.

She had made up her mind to stand by her words this time and confront her uncle to return her rightful place in her father’s company, but what she did not know, was the shocking news she was going to receive the moment she was getting on Into the mansion.

Arriving at her Mansion, she drove straight inside and Parked her auto.

Stepping out of it, she could already feel the tension in her heart as she was about to confront her uncle one last time.

Crystal decided not to fall into his manipulative acts again as he was aware of his game and what he always does just to bring about compassion into her heart, but this time around, she had to be firm in her words.

” I do not want to be a thief anymore for your lies Uncle Max”, she spoke out as she moved into the house.

Crystal’s hurt was beyond understanding as she was soon to be 24 years of age, but her main existence has been to steal from other people under the pretext of giving rise to her company to grow more before she eventually takes over.

Walking into the house, she met Gina who had listened to her car come in and she was so worried all day.

Catching a glimpse of Crystal, she came up to her looking all fearful and Crystal could not understand why she was peeping that way so she was forced to ask as she put up with a grip on her shoulders,

“Gina, what is the matter, why are you afraid, and why are you talking in a low voice?”, Crystal raised all these questions wondering what was happening.

Gina, who loved her Mistress a lot, asked her to follow up into the kitchen as she took Crystal by the hand.

On reaching the kitchen, Gina closed the kitchen doors and told Crystal not to be in that house again.

Crystal was confused and wondered why she had to say that but Gina, who could not stop creeping, said that she was feeling bad about the situation that she was finding in with her uncle and wished for her to start for some time till her uncle cools down.

” Gina, you are not making any sense, if there is anything that you want to tell me, just go ahead and say it, why are you acting as though my life was in danger in my own house”, Crystal inquired looking at Gina in the eyes.

Gina explained to Crystal, how her uncle had come back furious and was in his office scattering everything in anger.

“Maybe he had a bad day or something and you know how Uncle Max is right, he can be very difficult to understand sometimes”, Crystal spoke out but Gina had something in mind that she was making an effort to relate to Crystal but she could not as she feared to lose her job in the Taylors Mansion.

Extending her left hand and touching Gina by the shoulder, she told her not to worry as she could handle herself in case of anything.

Gina was not still convinced as her face was pale but she could not do much as she had nowhere to go if Max decided to relieve her of her duties.

Crystal told her that she had to go upstairs and shower, thereby instructing Gina to bring her a glass of juice to her room, turned to leave the kitchen but noticed that she was just standing on the same spot like a statue so she called out,

” Gina, I will be fine nothing can happen to me in my house, okay, and my Uncle is not a bad person so chill”, she spoke out as she left for her room.

Gina, staring back and trembling in fear of the unknown, prayed to God to please keep her and Crystal safe from the hands of her boss.

Crystal, running the side of her neck as she walked upstairs to her room, suddenly felt like someone held her by the arms firm behind, making her unable to move forward.

Turning to catch a glimpse of who it was, she was dumbfounded by her sight as it was one of her uncle’s sentries.

“Hello, Ms. Crystal, your uncle Max wishes to have a word with you”, the security spoke out with a seriousness that Crystal could not comprehend.

Tongue-tied by what was flashing before her eyes, Crystal asked the man whether he was okay, and what could be giving him such wings to hold her part like that in that manner.

She pulled out her arm and turning to walk up to her room, he held her again taking her to please follow him or else he was going to be forced to apply force on her.

Crystal had not yet understood what was going on till then as she thought that the warden was joking.

” Wait a minute, is this some kind of sick joke or something? you are in my house Mister and you do not have the right to harass me in the way that you are doing”, she raised her voice, and that attracted Gina who was in the kitchen.

Unhurriedly, slotting her door on one side, she pushed her head out a little so as not to be caught a glimpse of as she looked at the scenario that was happening on the stairs.

Murmuring to herself, she spoke out,

“I warned her to go back but as usual, she is always stubborn and she does not have any idea about the man she called her uncle”, she thought.

While Crystal was still trying to find out what all the disrespect was all about, the guard moving closer to her, hauled her up and went down the stairs putting up with the direction to her uncle’s office.

Crystal’s skirmishes to get down from his arms were all in vain as her punches did not mean anything to him.

” You are seriously sick in your head you psychopath, let me down, I will sue you for trespassing you imbecile?”, she yelled out with all of her strength but the man kept on striding till he reached her uncle’s office.

When they were at her uncle’s office, the warden put her down while knocking on the door, and in listening to the go signal indicating that he could go in, he pulled Crystal into her uncle’s bureau, bringing about a very angry side of her.

“Stop pulling me young man have some respect you idiot”, Crystal yelled out.

Max was waiting for her and turning to welcome her as she walked into his office, Crystal could not believe that her uncle was at home and he was listening to her scream all this while but did a bit bother to come out.

” So Uncle Max you are here and you could listen to me shouting out in the living room but you sat here”, she spoke out giving a disgusting look to the guard.

Max let out a mischievous smile and asked his niece how her day had time and what she had been up to lately, but Crystal was too angry with the treatment she had received and just yanked her body to the sofa in his office and sat down as her legs hurt so much.

“I asked you a question on the phone but you did not answer back and I all going to ask you again, have you gone to get my balance from Blaze Jadiel?”, he let out once more.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Crystal who did not have any idea of responding to him again looked away and was hanged like she had not heard his question.

Walking to the other side of his office, he took out a bottle of whiskey and a glass, opened the bottle then, and poured the gulp into the glass, he paid attention to his niece’s attitude and noticed that he had given birth to a change.

Crystal asked her uncle if he had to go to the end of instructing a guard to dehumanize her just to bring her to his office, but Max proceeded towards her with his glass in his hands took a sip from his glass, and whispered,

“You are going to experience worse as from now if you decide to be stubborn and not do as I say, you will experience worse than what you just did”.

With her eyes opened in shock, she raised her head thinking that she was dreaming after giving attention to what she had just listened to.

“What did you just say Uncle?”, Crystal Spoke out with tears in her eyes as she could not believe what she had just listened to.

Max wiped out his mustache with the back of his right hand, he mumbled as he told Crystal that she was becoming stubborn these past few days and it was beginning to get on his nerves.

Crystal who had just confirmed how selfish her uncle is, held her head in pain as she yelled out for him to stop with his nonsense.

” You have never loved me genuinely as all you ever care for is your position in my father’s company and your reputation”, she cried out.
