Chapter 47

Feeling excited about it, she asked what it was as she could do everything to get her inheritance but uncle Max had told her that the company was in depths so he could not hand over something that was on the verge of crumbling to his precious niece. She felt heartbroken after listening to him say that and all she wanted to do was to save the only thing that meant a lot to her parents so she asked what she could do in order to remedy the situation and the smile that could be seen on her uncle's face was not a simple one.
Crystal thought back to all these as she wept bitterly while describing everything that had happened and with so many regrets, she said how her uncle will hire private agents to follow the rich men in the society to know the places where they go to, what they do, the restaurants that they eat in and many other things that could be of great importance to his scheme and that was how she was always in the right place at the right time.
Blaze listened to her narrate everything and he felt sorry for her and turned his gaze to look at his friend, they both understood how naive she was to the point that she could not even read through her uncle's treachery. Crystal had narrated how scared she was most of the time but all she ever wanted was to save her father's company which has now become hers.
Her uncle had assured her that it was only going to be a one-time something as he knew exactly how much she had to steal from those men she was assigned to meet in the different places that she met them.
"So you mean to say that your uncle had accomplices inside the locality?" Freddy asked and Crystal nodded her hand, making him know that he was right. She went further to explain that it was one of the reasons why she was never been caught up after carrying out her actions.
There was always someone or people who drafted the plan for my uncle telling him how I was to meet my victim and when I was to strike and how I was to achieve my goal and eventually leave the place without anyone spotting or apprehending me.
"Then you have to recall the names or faces of anyone as that is going to be your key to start defending yourself from your uncle because trust me on this, it is going to be your words against he's Ms. Taylor," Freddy prepared her mind already for what was in front but Crystal not minding what was going to happen after her uncle must have been in a cell paying for all the things that he had done to her, she said,
"Though I am aware that I will be sentenced in jail for all the attempted murders and theft that had carried out, I will still be grateful for that lath because it made me meet someone who did not give up on my flaws though he was one of me and my uncles victims."
Blaze knew that she was referring to him and letting out a smile, he murmured,
"I am grateful too because I got to know a pretty thief who stole my heart and had made me her captive."
Freddy was adoring the two love birds that were in his office but he had to call out Blaze's attention to the fact that, the situation that his woman was into was a delicate one as she had no solid proof nor witnesses, to stand by her assertions but there was going to be away.
Blaze asked Freddy what they were going to do, he rolled his eyes around his office, while caressing his beard as though his senses were been piled up there. Coming up with some good plans, he asked Blaze to brace up as that case was going to be in their favor.
Crystal felt weak all of a sudden and Blaze realizing it, stood up immediately to have a grip on her while asking for a glass of water. Talking her cheek and asking what the matter is, Blaze felt scared for her but Crystal told him not to worry as she was just tired.
"Please take her home, she needs to have some rest," Freddy spoke out as he handed the glass of water to Blaze.
"Please don't frighten me like this again," he murmured and a smile was seen on her lips as she said,
"You won't lose me anytime soon love."
Blaze helped her to get on her feet while picking up her bag from their chair. Freddy had made a sign to Blaze and he had understood it perfectly. Walking through the door, his heart was at peace as one of the stages that he feared that she could not cross had finally come and passed and there she was just Weak but still alive.
It was difficult to go against a loved one especially a relative but times were rough and those who saw as protectors turn out to be predicators with no iota of self-consciousness. It becomes difficult when the person you look up to is the one who wants to sink you just because of some material things they are a bit more important than life.
Blaze walked her out of Freddy's offices to the corridor where they were to put up with the elevator before finally retiring to the parking lot where his car was parked. She felt like a heavy load had gone out of her body and there was some fresh air blowing up her skin.
Confiding to someone or meeting legal personnel who could give you the necessary information about how to go about your worries, was the best feeling you could have, and having someone who loves you unconditionally like she is being loved by Blaze, is a blessing.
"Do you want anything, you want me to get something for you?", he asked with a smile but Crystal holding his face, she lifted herself as she stood on tiptoe and without saying anything, she placed her lips on he's while letting the sweet breeze to mark that moment forever in her heart.
Her life was a mess at that particular point in time but having Blazes' love and support is the best feeling she could ever ask for. Her hands were shaking while she kissed him and Blaze wanted to make her feel better as he felt her trembling legs on the ground and realized that she was stressed, he held her up with his right arm and brought her up, some passerby recognized him as the famous businessman so they took pictures of him and Crystal without their knowledge.
A tear had fallen off her left eye and Blaze had felt it drop on his shoulder, taking his lips from hers and turning it to her ear, he whispered,
" I am not letting you go for anything in this world and you are staying with me forever."
"Are you proposing to me?" she asked with a smile on her face that planned to be there for a while without any regrets about a thing or two. Blaze walked with her still in his arms towards his car and putting her down he asked,
"What do you think about it or do you want some more time?"
Crystal pushed out a chuckle as she felt his shaft already hard on her groin, while she leaned on the car with no way of escaping from Blaze. Feeling shy of the world, she muttered softly and her words were meant to remind Blaze that they were still in a public place but Blaze going closer to her instead, asked whether his cupcake was feeling shy to go shabby in public.
"Stop it, love, people are looking at us," she said but Blaze not giving a damn about what people could say or think, reminded her that she was the person who kissed him first, and Crystal let out a smile, she asked him why he always has to use her words or actions against her and he responded feeling like a king,
"Because I have something that every man wants," his answer came out clear.
She felt flattered and the flesh in her inner thighs had started to misbehave due to the words that were making their way out of his mouth.
Seeing how uncomfortable her countenance had become, Blaze's gaze strode down to see what was going on wrong with her and he could notice that her legs were rubbing against each other. His smile had broadened just in some seconds and he loved the effect that he was having on her.
Normally, Blaze was of the class of thought that believes in teasing a woman and making them squirt especially when they have sexy and smooth skin and the issues in return, will ask for their shafts whenever they were horny but that was not the case with Crystal as she was still new in the game.
She was physically crazy but deep inside Crystal was as naive as a little child with no corrupt mindset. She only had the things she had learned on television but to ask for what she wanted in a situation like that, she could not as the shame she was feeling was more than the pleasure than she expected and Blaze was happy with the situation because he saw it as a means of doing something different.
Seeing how misplaced she had become, he pressed more towards her while being careful not to hurt her with his weight, he whispered,
"How will we be able to leave this place if you keep staring at me while blocking the entrance of the door."
A thick sense of embarrassment cropped up in her back as she took up her body from the car door while letting Blaze open up for her to get inside the car. Smiling at her as he watch her sit comfortably, he looked straight into her eyes as though he wanted to say something, and going closer to her, he kissed her forehead and said that they should go home.
He closed the door gently so as not to hurt her and turning to the other side, Blaze entered his car and started the engine to get to the house so that Crystal could have some rest.
The police station was still flooded with journalists and the media as everyone wanted to have an answer to their questions about what the famous man Maxwell Taylor had committed as an offense. The House outset was crazy and everyone was just pushing their way in while the police officers did their best to push them back.
Yvonne was still standing there in the corridor with her whole being shivering and turning her head to the other side, she saw a man who was peeping at her with an abnormal gaze. Covered with suspicion as to who he was, she began to walk towards his direction as she called out but the man walked quickly. Yvonne sensed that there was danger in the air so she hastened her steps to look for her daughter.
Georgia was still standing under a shade with Simon and she was beginning to feel dizzy out of exhaustion, losing her balance, he caught her before she could even reach the ground and putting up her head, he asked what the matter was and why she was feeling that way.
Georgia had been on her friend's case these last few weeks that she had forgotten to take her medications and the fatigue that she was feeling was getting a hold of her. Letting out a smile, she said,
"I am fine Simon, I just need some rest."
"Then follow me to my car at last there is air condition inside, it will help you get refreshed for some time while waiting for the verdict from the police chief," Simon put in.
She looked at Simon for some time before moving to the car to sit down. Her mom not being able to find her, panicked and took out her phone to call her daughter. Ringing her phone, Georgia did not pick up her phone and her mom kept on insisting.
Her phone was vibrating inside her bag, Georgia could not seem to get to it. Her mind was a mess and everything was dark in front of her eyes. She just wanted to find her friend and seeing the way things were going, she was glad somehow knowing that Max was going to be behind bars.
"Do you want me to get something for you?" Simon asked moving closer to wipe the sweat that had formed on her face but Georgia had spotted Max walking out of the police station and her blood boiled inside her veins.
"They are letting him walk away just like that?" she yelled out wanting to go out of the car but Simon was standing in the way. Holding her hand, he looked into her eyes and said,
"You need to act with your head and not with your eyes Georgia." His words were insulting to her as she felt that he was being abusive but Simone calling out attention to the kind of man that she was dealing with, left her dumbfounded as she did not dare to talk anymore.
Her eyes were wide open while her mouth was too and wanting to talk further, Simon hushed her with his finger on her lips telling her to get back into the car. Georgia had wanted to use her mother as an excuse to go back to the police station but Simon not listening to her, he told her that his mother was old enough to take care of herself. Catching sight of her mother coming out, she could tell that she was looking for her and it was not going to be fair if she leaves him with Max and his goons.
"I need to help my mom Simon, she is going to be in danger," she said and Simon turned his gaze to see the police station covered with people, he knew that he had to do something about the situation. Asking Georgia to stay inside the car and to lock up the doors, he promised her that he was going to bring her mother to her safe and sound.
Georgia could not explain the bond that had suddenly been created between Simon and herself, she only knew that he was doing the right thing as they both were fighting for their friend as well.
Reaching the house, Crystal was very tired and all she wished for was to go upstairs, take a shower and fall ok her bed. The day had been very hectic and her whole being was shivering from exhaustion but as soon as she entered the house, she was welcomed by Gina who had a worried face and saw her in that state, her heartbeat a thousand times inside her chest.
"What is the matter with you, did anything happen to you or someone in the house?" she asked having an anxious look and just as she was asking Gina questions, Blaze had just walked inside the house.
"What is the matter Gina?" he inquired observing how panicked she looked Gina walked to the center table, picked up the tv remote, and pointing to it, she pressed the button. The first thing that could be seen on the tv screen was Maxwell as he was surrounded by police officers who were guarding him.
Blaze looked lost as he was not able to identify anyone nor comprehend what was doing on the television, he asked Gina why she had put on the television and who was the man that the media was focusing on and Crystal who was broken to see the face of her uncle and the man that had given her the scare of her entire existence, she muttered with a tear falling out of her eyes,
"That is Maxwell Taylor, my one and only uncle with the heart of stone."
Gina and Blaze looked at each other before turning back to have a look at Crystal who was just standing at the center of the house like a ghost with no iota of life in her.
"Is that man your uncle that has been doing all these to you?" Blaze asked walking closer to Crystal that could not move her lips and looking at him with tear-filled eyes, she nodded slowly with so much sadness in her.
Blaze grounded his teeth in his mouth before hugging her tight into his arms saying that she has no reason to be sad as he was there with her.
Gina facing at them, she said softly,
"Ms. Georgia is the one who got her arrested Ms. Crystal." Her voice had sunk deep down Crystal's heart and reality had just hit her straight in the face.
"Georgia?" she asked again like she had ear problems looking at Gina in wonder. Crystal had followed Blazes' advice not to cent at her friend as her phone might be on listening mode, and there she was in a confrontation with Max and she was certain that it was all because she had no idea of her whereabouts.
Holding her head in confusion, she thought of running out of the house to meet her friend but Blaze was still lost and needed some answers to his questions which he could not find.
Turning to Gina in a mad rage, he asked what was going on and why was all the commotion happening on Television, and Gina was caught by fear, revealing that Gina had issued a warrant of arrest because he was hiding friend from her.
Crystal's soul finally left her body as she thought of the danger that Georgia could be going through.
