The Billionaire’s Pretty Thief

Walking back into her room, she could listen to someone talking downstairs and Crystal could swear that the voice she was listening to was that of her friend Georgia. Thinking of what to do to get her friend’s attention, she began hitting her door with all the strength that she had inside.

Georgia had met so many guards in the Taylor mansion and that was very unusual she thought that maybe something bad had happened there cuz that was the only explanation she could have for the many guards.

Standing in front of Gina asking where her friend was, Gina, stammered as she could not answer her question because of the stares the guards were having at her. Georgia was a smart girl and just with her eyes rolling around the house, she could detect that something was wrong. She left into the kitchen asking Gina for a glass of water and with the guards wanting to follow them, Georgia asked whether there was any problem but the guard said no.

Crystal hit her door with everything she had in her but the sound could be hot reaching downstairs, so she thought of something that could be out some noise to attract her friend’s attention. Turning in her room, Crystal could see her little mirror on the table so she picked it up and without a second thought, she threw it on the ground but the sound was not that strong so using her hands, she pushed everything that was on the table to the ground making a huge sound that Gina and Georgia could hear.

Crystal ass scared to escape as there were many guards in the mansion so she needed all the help she could get to do that, but at the same, she thought back to what her uncle had done to her and she would not want Georgia and her mother to be involved in whatever fuss she was having with Max.

“Did you hear that?”, Georgia spoke out while keeping down the glass of water she was holding in her hands pointing out that the sound was coming from Crystal’s room. Gina looking all around and making an effort to convince Georgia that she had heard poorly, repeated what Max had told her yesterday which is that Crystal had traveled urgently.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Georgia smelled something fishy, she instructed Gina to drop the act as there was something very suspicious in the house. Gina making her hints to warn her to leave the house as it was not comfortable for her, made Georgia worry much. Making an effort her best to get Georgia out of the house, she was forced to kick her leg against the kitchen wall and when she screamed, Georgia rushed to help her before the guards could come to check what had happened, Gina had whispered to Georgia to leave the house as it was dangerous for her to stay In there.

She had no choice but to do as she was told while making her plans to find out what had happened to her friend. Nodding her head in agreement with what Gina had just told her, she stood up and arranged the bag that was crossed on her, she walked out of the kitchen

The guards looked at Gina and noticed that she was fine as she said that it was just a minor problem, they turned to Georgia, asking where she was going and she responded that she was going back to her house.

” My friend is not here so I am leaving, I leave my salutations to Mr. Max”, she spoke out walking out of the door. The guards looking at her in suspicion called her back but Georgia had already left the house and she was in her car.

Driving out of the gate as the security agent had already opened it, she drove out with the speed of light as she could crush anyone that we standing in her way. Noticing that something was wrong, the guards back into the kitchen, asking Gina what she had discussed with Georgia but Gina holding her breath and later releasing it, said that she had not spoken about anything with her.

Throwing a skeptical gaze at Gina, the guards went out and stood at their respective posts. Crystal had cried so much that she did not know what to do anymore as she could not know where help would come from.

Gina was done making some food so, on a platter, she served it and put a glass of juice by the side leaving the kitchen for Crystal’s room. Walking up the stairs, she could feel the eyes of the guards on her and she knew that she did not have to make any mistakes as it could be costly to her, but at the same time what could she do, Crystal was to be given out the next day like some servant and there was nothing anyone could do.

Reaching the corridor leading to Crystal’s room, Gina could catch sight of the guard standing in front of her room unlocking her door so that the maid could get in.

“If it has gotten to this then this girl’s days are numbered”, Gina thought to herself as she kept on approaching Crystal’s door.

” You do not have to take long inside her room else I will come in there and pull you out myself”, the guard standing outside let out. Gina went into Crystal’s room and the first thing she noticed, was the scattered nature of her room with dresses all over and also broken glasses.

Searching for a glimpse of Crystal sitting behind her bed, she cleared the table while dropping the platter on it and turning around her bed to take her up.

Gina was shocked at what she found Crystal doing and that made her plead with her with tears in her eyes. She was holding a piece of broken mirror in her hand, she had it on her wrist pressing it against her veins as if she wanted to bite it open.

Coming down on her knees, Gina begged her not to do something like that as it could destroy her whole life. Watching Crystal crying out she felt so bad and promised her that she was going to do everything to bring about her freedom, she asked her to come and eat if not she was going to be weak but Crystal felt that there was no life left for her, asked Gina how she was going to be free when her wedding was scheduled to be tomorrow.

Gina, letting out a smile as she caressed her cheek, told Crystal not to worry and to trust her. Crystal felt like she was in a better place to stay calm as Gina was by her side, she got up and walked to the table to have some food.

Whispering in Crystal’s ear, Gina asked her whether she had someone who could be of help to her outside the house but Crystal not being able to think of anyone apart from Georgia, said that she did not want to get her friend involved in this mess and Gina telling her not to bother as they were going to find a solution as soon as possible, the guard opened the door abruptly asking Gina what’s she was still doing in there as it was time for her to leave the room.

Crystal held on to Gina as she cried bitterly pleading with her not to leave her, Gina told her not to be weary as things were going to be better soon. Saying that she informed Crystal to eat up everything and take some rest while waiting for her wedding of tomorrow. Crystal could not understand why she had made that last statement but she had decided to trust Gina as she was the only person who could be a friend at that moment.

It was already dusk and Max was back from work, taking off his coat, the first thing he did was to ask his guards what happened at home during his absence, and his guards told him that a young lady had passed by the house and asked about Crystal.

“Did she tell you her name?”, Max inquired as he took a seat on the couch. One of his guards gave an account of how Georgia was in the kitchen with Gina. Listening to this Max grew angry at them asking them what they had done and immediately, he instructed that Gina be called as she had some questions to answer from him.

Being in the kitchen, Gina could hear everything that was being said as she was preparing dinner for her boss and as soon as she could catch a glimpse of the guard, she left everything that she was doing and went to attend to her boss.

” Here I am Sir Max”, she spoke out with her head lowered out of dear.

Max rising to his feet, walked closer to Gina while backpacking soft voice he raised a question,

“I was told that a lady came here earlier in the day and she asked about my niece?”.

Gina, clothed with fear and uncertainty of what he might do to her, spoke out as she said that it was only Georgia who had come to the house but she explained to her what he had instructed her to say.

Turning to face her as she spoke out, Max using his right hand, brought up her head while he looked at her asking,

” Are you sure you did not say something else?”, he said in a more serious tone that made Gina panic but keeping her ground she still said the same thing that she had told him earlier. Walking away from her and taking his seat, he smiled and told the guards that Gina could never betray him not for anything in this world.

Taking his hand up as a sign for Gina to return to her post, he requested for her to bring him a glass of chilled orange juice which she nodded before leaving.
