“Are you afraid now? Let me tell you something. I’m going to slowly savor the moments that will lead to your inevitable destruction. By then, I’ll still be the respected new school artist as well as future Mrs. Smith. It’s too bad that I don’t like Benjamin’s family members. Otherwise, he is quite a husband material.”
The woman’s confidence was commendable. She was speaking with absolute certainty that whomever she chose to be her husband would ask for her hand in marriage. I couldn’t say for others, but one thing I was sure about Christopher was that he didn’t have the slightest interest in Crystal. She was but just another stranger to him.
Sometimes I did fear for what was going through her mind. Not only was she obsessed with taking me down, but she also took pleasure in watching me fail miserably in life. She set out to destroy me out of feeling inferior.
She was consumed by her perceived inferiority that had been brewing since a young age. I couldn’t possibly be blamed for having a complete family where I was loved by my parents. Moreover, it wasn’t my family’s fault that her father got himself into trouble all those years back.
I snickered. “Of course I’m afraid. After all, I don’t think anyone will appreciate the company of a lunatic.”
“Regardless, it’s a nuisance that Lyle is still thinking about you,” Crystal said while pouting her red lips. “That’s why he still can’t cut the cord. Maybe it’s time I help him make some tough decisions. Just you wait.”
The way she swayed her slender waist walking away managed to turn a few heads on the street.
I must admit, she does have what it takes for men to fall head over heels for her. After all, of all the beautiful women that I’ve encountered, only Monica and Sabrina come close.
“Unfortunately, she’s a nutcase,” I muttered under my breath. Crystal mentioned that she was going to make Lyle divorce me. Perhaps I need to watch out for any trap she sets up for me. Apart from that, it surprises me when she said that Lyle was still hung up on me. Even if that’s true, I don’t think that he loves me. It’s probably because he’s simply not used to not having me around to take care of his everyday life like a housekeeper.
Meanwhile, Christopher was about to go on a business trip for a government-related project. Apparently, he was strong-armed into doing so because both his parents were due to go on a vacation.
According to Christopher’s mother, it was only a three-hundred-million investment project, so they wouldn’t raise an eyebrow if he failed. After all, they already had a competent and successful elder son, so it didn’t matter to the parents if their younger son was a failure. However, she made a point that she was not to be blamed if that incompetence led to his wife judging him in the future.
I thought his mother’s tactic worked like magic. Christopher did not care much about impressing his family, but he certainly would not want his future wife to think any less of him. Therefore, the man was all eager and excited to go on the business trip.
Prior to leaving for his trip, however, Christopher kept clinging to me like a child, demanding endless hugs and kisses. His appetite for me was insatiable; it was as though my body no longer belonged to me.
After what felt like forever in bed together, I was completely drowned in his sea of passion.
