Chapter 52
Blaze did not want to sleep with her in the room as it was going to be awkward so proposing for Gina to take her into her room instead, Gina spoke out,
” Sir I think you should take her to your room to sleep with you”, Gina said looking at Crystal who was behaving like a deranged person and feeling bad for her.
Blaze taking a look at Gina and wondering whether it was a good idea, turned back her gaze to Crystal who was still clinging unto him tighter, and without much ado, he inclined himself on one side and taking her into his hands, he told Gina not to worry as he was going to take care of her and bring a doctor to check up on her in the morning.
Gina nodded her head in agreement to what he had said, and Blaze walked out of the room with Crystal, Gina stood still as though her soul had left her carcass for some seconds before letting out a huge sigh of anguish.
Walking through the corridor, he could not help but wonder why her uncle would make her go through so much pain to the point where she glimpsed at him everywhere. Telling her to calm down as he was going to take care of her, Blaze pushed the door open and walked inside his room, placing Crystal on the sofa that was opposite his bed.
Closing his door, he veered around to have a look at her in her diminishing state and felt sorry for the poor girl. Both knowing what to do or say, Blaze went in front of her and sitting down on the ground he said,
“Crystal, I am here now and it is only the both of us who are in this room okay, no one will come here to bother you I can assure you of that”.
” I think I am going insane, I can not help myself Blaze as I can detect him, he is here”, she spoke out joining her hands and her legs on the chair, while she buried her face in between her legs and sweating profusely. He could see the fear that was in her eyes and then he realized that after what she had been through those last few days, it was normal for her to meet a psychologist.
Hadn’t thought of it as he had not been told exactly what had happened to her when she had regained consciousness, Duke thought to himself that it was too late to call on any doctor and that he was going to do it the next day very early. Making an effort to take her into his arms as he stood up and went closer to her, he spoke out gently while taking her hands,
“You will sleep here with me till you recover fully okay?, and if you want I can sleep here on the couch while you sleep on the bed”.
” Please do not leave me alone in bed of you”, Crystal cried out as she grabbed his dress tightening her grip on it and weeping so hard. He looked and her and with a lot of pain in his eyes and heart, he told Crystal that he had let go of her once, and he was not going to commit the same mistake again.
Rising to his feet and taking her into his arms, Blaze went with her to bed and laying her down, she started looking around while wanting to get up but Blaze holding her and asking her to look at him I’m the eyes asked,
“Do you trust me, Crystal?”.
Having a funny sensation run through her mind, she nodded positively to his question without having to think so much, and with a smile on his face, he told her to look only at him and to think of only him.
With that being said, he slid into his bed, and feeling the sheets once more against his body, he veered Crystal’s head to face him as he told her not to be afraid. Extending his hand to put off the lights, she felt afraid thinking that Max would come inside the dark as he had done before but Blaze whispered to her not to be afraid and to just think of him while sleeping in his arms, he kissed her forehead and switched off the light.
He could feel Crystal breathing profusely as her breath was hard and her heartbeat could be heard in the silence of the darkroom. Her body was cold out of so much fear while her forehead got. Drawing his body closer to her, he wrapped his arms around her feeling as she enjoyed it as disappeared into them.
” Sleep now little angel, no one will come here, it is just you and me”, his gentle words entered her ears and her spirit was soothing as she felt relaxed and searched for sleep. Blaze could feel that her body was less tense and she was sleeping already when he called out her name twice but she did not respond.
Placing a kiss on her forehead, Blase took out his hand from under the blanket, and caressing her hair, he sealed the sleep that was in her eyes.
“Wake up Crystal, and have this cup of hot coffee”, Blaze said as he entered the room with coffee in a ceramic mug. The steaming brewing liquid from the coffee was a perfect wake-up antidote for her as soon as she woke up to take away the headache that may have formed as a result of crying so much last night.
Standing tall in the room, Blaze had already booked an appointment with the psychologist and the appointment was to be in a couple of hours so he still had some time.
Crystal didn’t respond much as she was still wrapped in the same position that he had left her before going to make the mug of coffee, which made Blaze have a worried look. His countenance had changed and his forehead was all sweaty as he walked closer to her with fear in his heart.
Scared of the unknown, his lips had gone pale out of thinking of the worst, and with a deep breath in and out, he mustered the courage to tap her on the hand. His white t-shirt had already come like a singleton him because of the sweat that could not halt running out of his body and his kegs shudder in weakness.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
With the hand of a man, he held her hand, and shaking it her name could be heard making its way out of his mouth.
“Crystal, wake up now, your coffee will get cold”, he murmured shifting himself on the bed to check her eyes. Struggling to open her eyes which were closed up as a result of the so many tears of last night, Blaze noticed that her eyes were so puffy.
Letting out a sigh and a calm look as he was thinking of the worst for nothing, he stepped down off the bed, leading the way into the privy to moisten a towel to place on her head.
Talking over the phone and raising his voice in his room, his guards could feel his wrath as he instructed Ethan not to call him to ask nonsense questions again. Banging his door as he left his room, he came outside asking for the whereabouts of his guard and another telling him that he was in the washroom, Max ordered that he go fetch him and tell him that he wanted him in his room as soon as he getgo messages.
Walking back inside his room, Max understood that the situation was a very delicate one as he feared for his reputation and all he had ever built.
“Wherever you are my darling niece, I am going to smoke you out pretty soon like a wild animal”, he grumbled alone kicking off the edge of the bed with his right foot to let out his anger.
Max’s mind was crowded with a million reflections as to where he could find Crystal but each time he tried, his only destination was Georgia. While still stuck in his thoughts, his door could be given attention as his defense walked into his room.
“Good morning boss, I was informed that you wished to see me urgently. Is there anything I can do for you?”, he raised a question with his head lowered to the ground.
Veering around his head and sighting him, he picked up the vase that was standing on the table just beside him and shouted at him with it, the guard dodged it and Max walked up to him with a heavy punch in his face yelling out like a mad mad,
” You incompetent fools, I do not even understand why Instill has idiots like you working for me. So you mean to tell me that, you could not find a young girl who had nowhere else to go?”.
The guard pushed to the limit to explain himself but Max still very angry, equalized his jaw with another blow that threw him on the surface this time around. Veering around and looking the other way, he said,
“If I don’t get to have Crystal on this house in the next 48 hours, then consider yourselves as dead meat”.
The guard struggled to get up on his feet and wiped the blood that was hanging my his mouth with the back of his right hand, he apologized to his boss for failing him.
” I guarantee you that we are going to be here sir”. The guard spoke out and Max told him that he hoped that he would ask his men to be needful, he asked him to get out.
The lookout nodded his head, and just when he was about to leave the room, Max halted him at the door and told him that he should focus on Georgia as she is his niece’s best friend, it is but normal that she could lead them to where Crystal is hiding if she is not in her house.
