The Billionaire’s Pretty Thief

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 watched 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 in 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 conditioning 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 get 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 did not listen tdid o 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 left 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 on 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.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“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, pressed the the on. 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 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 who could not move her lips and looking at him with tears-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 had no reason to be sad as he was there with her.

Gina facing them, 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, Gina was caught in fear, revealing that Gina had issued a warrant of arrest because he was a hiding friend from her.

Crystal’s soul finally left her body as she thought of the danger that Georgia could be going through.

“We need to get to her Blaze, my friend is in trouble, we need to be her,” her words came out from her mouth and she was trembling in fear with tears flowing out of her eyes like a running tap.

“Calm down Crystal, nothing will happen to your friend I can assure you that,” he said gilding her head on one soot in an attempt to ease the pain that was feeling but it seemed like seeing her uncle again had woken up the fear that was inside of her.

Crystal began to misbehave with her mouth blabbing so many words at the same time, and Gina became worried and scared saying that Crystal could not have digested the sight of her uncle and knowing how wicked he had been to her, the trauma that she had gone through was back.
