The Billionaire’s Pretty Thief

I could see him walking towards me and I sat still like a bag of salt as I couldn’t move. Was this normal or was there something else wrong with me? I pondered on that while my heartbeat raised to another level.

Wondering if that was the person she was assigned to come to victimize that night, she excused herself as she said she was going to the bathroom.

When she returned, Blaze on his end had recognized her and decided to walk to her where she was seated with Mr. Wilson.

“Hello, beautiful?”, he said as he stretched out his hand to Crystal.

Crystal was hesitant to take his salutation as her heart skipped a million times but later responded to it.

” Hi”, She said as she took out her hand too.

“Can I join you both?”, he asked with a charming smile that made her more lost at the sight of her victim.

” Of course, you can”, she replied so fast that she didn’t have the time to ask her the one sitting with her if it was okay with him.

The atmosphere became quiet for a moment, with everyone on the table just staring at each other and Mr. Wilson decided to break the silence.

“Who are you going man?”, he asked offended.

” I am her companion for the night”, he answered back.

Crystal looked at him with so much enthusiasm and couldn’t decipher if that was part of her job for the night.

Duke turned towards her and said,

“I can see that you are in good company”, looking at her straight into her eyes as though he was trying to pass across a coded message.

” I have been here waiting for you and you took quite some time” ” she replied in a bold but calm voice.

Mr. Wilson who has been watching the whole scene gets furious and yells out,

“What the hell is going on here? I met her first and she is going home with me tonight”, He said disgruntled.

The situation was getting out of hand and Crystal knew he had to do something before it escalated, so she got up from her seat approached Wilson, and whispered with a smile,

” Don’t be in this state Mr., he is the person I told you I was waiting for”.

He wasn’t happy because he looked like a fool, hence he took his bottle of drink and left the table.

“Such a persistent man”, Blaze related.

The silence went through the both of them again as they listened to the music playing.

” I didn’t introduce myself, I am Blaze Jadiel Lewis”, he said with a gigantic smile.

“I am Crystal Melody”, She said.

Crystal on the other hand had become shy which was something that was not typical of her.

She found herself unable to seduce her victim to lure him into her bed and steal the money from him.

” Are you okay?”, a voice interrupted her lost nature.

“She bowed her head like a teenager that was having her first date with the man she loved and said, yes I am fine”.

Duke got up from his perch and came closer to her to enjoy the moment more.

It seems Crystal was the person who was going to be a victim by the person she was going to victimize.

” Do you care for anything else Ms.? he asked as he sent his hand round her waist.

The tension in her became more eminent and she roused to her feet and said,

“If you want you can get another bottle of champagne”, She replied biting the edges of her lips.

” What is wrong with me, why the sudden change in attitude?”, She muttered to herself.

She knew she wasn’t acting as planned and her behavior was strange, but she had in mind that, if she didn’t do that, her inheritance wouldn’t be charged to her.

“You look extremely gorgeous tonight, more beautiful than the last time”, He mumbled.

She looked at him and remembered that he was a businessman and it was normal for him to have sweet words to flatter her into his bed.

” Are you with me Ms., you seem quite call and distant tonight. If you have any worries, I am here you can ask anything”. He let out.

She started at him in so much admiration lost in the sound of his voice and the cuteness of his face but she had to be objective as she didn’t come there to play.

“I have never met this man before, why do I feel such a hookup with him?”, She asked.

Blaze kept on staring at her from head to toe and back and he couldn’t stop marveling why such a beautiful and innocent-looking girl would get herself to lure men and steal from them.

” agreeably, I am going to find out what usually happens”. He conceited.

The evening was in ambiance and the club was expanding as people came in their numbers to have fun.

“Do you care for a dance with me?”, he proposed as he gave her his hand.

” No way I am a terrible dancer”, she announced laughing.

“We can always teach ourselves some moves”, He proceeded with his request.

” Thank you but I don’t dance”, she denied again.

“Please Ms., don’t be shy”. He urged her to.

” Okay fine I accept but on one condition”, she let out.

“Anything, just say it”. Blaze reassured.

” That you won’t laugh at me”, She burst out into laughter.

Blaze laughed out too and they both set out to dance. The music playing was a hip hop genre and the moves were crazy.

She danced and twerked and for a moment it was as though she had forgotten why she was there.

Blaze couldn’t stop admiring her whenever she smiled while dancing as her beauty was indescribable and her slim legs in her short black gown gave her an extra spicing.

“Come on let’s dance”, she screamed.

They danced for a span of the music switched from hip-hop to soft music

While other partners came together and held each other, Crystal couldn’t fit in because she was feeling weird and that was the first time for her to feel that way with a victim.

” Can you offer me this dance one more time?”, Blaze approached her.

His breath on her was melting her heart and he couldn’t resist her beauty, but he was very much aware of his plans tonight.

While Crystal was targeting Blaze, so was Blaze targeting her and the question is who is going to be triumphant?

The night wasn’t over yet and the romance between them had grown as they kept on dancing.

“I love the fragrance of your body and the texture of your hair”. He said softly at the back of her ear.

She couldn’t answer and remained quiet dancing.

” Do you often come here?”, she raised a question.

Blaze’s answer was like a strike of lightning,

“I own this club”, he answered.

Crystal was shocked but she didn’t want to seem excited so she responded,

” It is a good form of investment Mr. Blaze and I must confess you have really good taste for the mise-en-place of the club’s interior decor”. She proceeded.

“Merci beaucoup Mademoiselle”, he answered.

She didn’t know that Blaze could speak French as well.

She sat quietly for some time and they just enjoyed the dance in each other’s arms.

” I would like to take you to my house from here”, Blaze broke the silence.

Crystal was happy upon hearing this as that was what she wanted to happen.

Her charm was finely kept in her leggings under the dress as she always put it.

“It will be a pleasure for me to share your bed handsome”, She agreed.

Blaze smiled at his victory as this was going to bring him more respect and wealth amongst his friends and business partners.

“Shall we dance some more before leaving, or do you prefer we sit down for a while”, he inquired.

She wanted to get that done and over with so she opted for them to leave and go have fun at his house.

Blaze offered her his hand and they both walked out of the club as though they had been a couple for ages.

When they arrived outside, his car was brought to him and his keys were handed over to him as well.

” Do you own this car”, she asked in shock as it was the latest car in town.

Blaze looked at her and with a smile, he responded,

“Yes, this is one of my babies”.

Crystal couldn’t believe her eyes. She knew that Blaze was a young and rich man but what she didn’t know was that he was freakishly rich.

” Shall we?”, he asked as he opened the door for her to get in.

They set out to Blaze’s house and she was quiet thinking to herself how much he could be having in the briefcase she saw in the backseat.

“I am sure he has a lot of money and u intend grabbing all of it”, She mulled over in her as she looked at Blaze in the face.

Blaze on his part was very watchful at every step she was making so as not to fall victim.

The ride was steady and the silence was persistent so Blaze had to bring up a conversation.

” What are the things you like to do?”, he asked.

She hesitated for some seconds as to why he wanted to know personal stuff about her and then she answered,

“I love business, I love to travel and every good thing life has to offer me”/ She responded.

” That was a pretty good answer right there you know!”, he asserted.

She became calm again and later asked,

“And you, what do you like?”,

He looked at her and smiled saying,

” You will know definitely”.

She was laughing at her because she was sure that her plan would be a success and that she wouldn’t have to meet with him again.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
