The Billionaire’s Pretty Thief

When Georgia was well seated on the bed and Crystal opened her arms so that she could get into them, she interrogated,

“It has been more than three times since you have experienced something like this friend, why don’t you try to focus on something else other than these men who just spend their time hurting you?”, Crystal spoke out as calmly as possible knowing that she was in a good position to talk to her.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Georgia, wiping her eyes, asked her friend what she could do to always be strong like her, as she had always realized that Crystal was constantly living in freedom and harmony.

Raising a question towards that angle, Crystal could feel her heartbeat so fast that she had to find her way to get up to her feet, sloping her friend to one side, she was on her talons caressing her hair as she moved all over the room.

Georgia had realized the change in her friend’s attitude so she cleared her throat and asked,

” Is there something I am missing out on?”, her face glittered with her brows raising in an up and down movement as she kept teasing at the end.

The blushing oCrystal’sal cheeks could be seen clearly though she tried her best to hide it from her friend.

“Oh my goodness, are you blushing Crystal?”, Georgia screamed out in joy as she stood on her hoofs walking towards her friend to give attention to the gist that was going to drop on the ground.

Releasing a deep sigh, Crystal was aware that she was in a deep soup as Georgia was not going to leave that issue anytime soon.

Crystal was delighted that her friends had forgotten about her heartbreak for a moment, but thinking of the fact that she would have to narrate something that she did not know about was something that was going to be difficult.

” Bestie love, come and have a seat here and tell me who that lucky dude who has swept you off your feet is”, she giggled in happiness shaking like a young girl who is been made advances for the first time.

Georgia was burning with passion to hear what Crystal had to say, but as always Crystal said she does not have anything to say to her apart from the fact that she has someone in mind.

Georgia stood up and climbed on her bed she danced with all her strength shaking her waist and body while making so much noise that she did not listen to Mirabelle’s knock on the door.

Crystal watching how crazy her friend had become, got up from the couch and headed to the door to open up for Mirabelle.

“Excuse Ms. Crystal, I am sorry to bother you both but I need to get the platter I left if you have finished eating of course”, she spoke out reasonably.

Crystal letting her in told her not to be bothered by her mistress’s behavior as she laughed out loud.

Mirabelle, surprised by what she saw when she came into Georgia’s room, laughed so hard that Georgia had to come back to her senses and she came down from the bed.

” Mirabelle, when did you get in here?”, Georgia asked looking at Crystal who was standing on one side of the room leaning on the wall as she watched her friend go through what she had gotten herself into laughing.

“Sorry Ms. Georgia, I just came in to put up with the platter of foods I left for Ms. Crystal”, she let out picking up the platter and walking out of her room.

” Mirabelle, can you get me some fried vegetables and a glass of beetroot juice with ice blocks?”, Georgia spoke out as her stomach began grumbling.

Mirabelle nodded in agreement as she walked out of Georgia’s cottage.

Crystal’s phone came to be heard from her bag as it was echoing nonstop.

The incessant pounding from the ringtone of her phone made Georgia wonder who it was as she was waiting so much time to get her phone.

Georgia researched her friend’s bag on the bed got hold of it and brought out her phone reading the caller’s name on it.

“Crystal it is your uncle who is calling”, she said walking to her friend to hand over her phone to her.

With some hesitation, she finally took the phone and picked up her uncle’s call,

” Hello Uncle Max”, she responded inclining her head to one side ready to listen to what he had to say.

Max was concerned about Crystal as Gina had related to him that she had left the house since morning.

Crystal told her uncle that she was in Georgia’s house as she did not want to talk about her encounter with Blaze in his office and how it was unsuccessful once more.

Avoiding that topic as much as possible, Max had to go straight to the point as to why he was calling.

“Crystal, my baby niece, were you able to pay Mr. Blaze a visit like you were supposed to?”, he interrogated as his lips could be heard smacking each other as though he was eating something very nice.

Crystal grinding teeth as she realized the reason why her uncle was calling her, she freaked out in anger asking her uncle once again if all he ever cared about was the money.

Max who was sitting in his office on his chair, stood up and asked if she was okay but it seems like Crystal was beginning to get things straight and also noticing that her uncle will never love her as she deserves but rather have all the time for his selfish gains.

Crystal raising insight on what her uncle was saying to her, also stated to him that she was tired and wanted to complete what she was doing before he called and she hung up the call.

Max shocked at what had just transpired, opened his mouth in unacceptance to the fact that his niece just hung up the call ok him.

He slammed the table in anger, as he breathed in and out like a wild beast, squeezing his fists.

Georgia who had witnessed everything that had just happened fell into a state of tremor as to what could be going on between Crystal and her uncle.

” Is everything okay friend?”, Georgia asked her friend who did not look okay to her at all.

Crystal trying as hard as she could to control her tears from running down, finally gave way for it as she burst out into tears.

Georgia walking towards her, took her by the hand and letting her to the couch so that she could have a seat, rubbed her back with her left hand while wiping off her tears with her right hand.

“You need to calm down my friend and talk to me, what is eating you up?”, she raised a question glimpsing at her friend who was flooding with tears already.

Breathing in and out like someone who was involved in a marathon, Crystal held on to her dress as though she wanted to give up the ghost.

Georgia felt so bad catching a glimpse of her friend in that condition as she could not understand what could be happening between her and her uncle.

” You know you can tell me anything right bestie?”, so told her friend pleading with her to calm down and breathe properly.

She was aware that, whatever was going on between her uncle and herself, must be something very huge as it was impacting on her enormously.

Crystal kept crying but she also knew that it was not the right time for her to tell her friend anything because the shame and guilt she was feeling inside was going to kill her before time.

Gathering herself together, she finally found the strength to ask her friend,

“Georgia, am I a bad girl?, have I not been obedient to my uncle knowing that he is the only parent I have left since my parents died in that car accident?”, she mumbled with tears running down her eyes.

Georgia could not comprehend where her question was going but one thing she was certain about, was the fact that Crystal could not be asking a question for anything so she responded to her,

” You have been a very good girl, right from our school days you remember? she said with a gloomy face, holding her friend close to her as she was herring weak already.

Georgia told her friend to recall how she made her leave her friends who always dodged classes and also helped her with her grades in school.

“You were the perfect student though you had all the wealth that some of us did not have Crystal”, she proceeded with her solace to her friend.

Crystal who could not help but cry as she was thinking of all the things she had been through asked her friend why she always felt like a failure when she was with her uncle.

Georgia was now certain that she was having issues that she did not want to talk about and she was ready to find out what it was as she is her friend.

Raising her hand and touching her friend’s hair with it, she whispered in a smooth voice,

” You know that you do not have to go home if you do not feel as right?”, Georgia told her friend as she added that she could always be with her in her room.

But Crystal knowing who her uncle was, declined her friend’s offer as she said that she had to go back home if nig her uncle was going to be mad at her.

Lifting her head, she had realized what a true friend she had in Georgia and she made a promise to her that, if Uncle Max tried anything funny with her, she was going to call on her immediately.

“You promise?”, Georgia interrogated feeling so sorry for her friend and Crystal nodded in acceptance saying that she promised.
