The Billionaire’s Pretty Thief

Crystal ensnared with what she had said, choked up from the piece of omelet that was in her throat as she was shocked,

“What did you just say Georgia?”, she raised a question keeping her plate down and drinking some more juice.

It was very heartbreaking for Georgia to be in that kind of state but Crystal wanted to be sure that what she had heard was substantial.

“I have been phoning Jake since last night cause I wanted to inform him that I will be passing this morning at his house for us to spend the day together but he was not picking up his calls”, Georgia began to narrate what had happened.

As she spoke out, Crystal could feel the pain in her voice and the sadness on her face, but what could she do at that point except to listen to her friend and give her a shoulder to cry on?

Georgia continued to recount trying her best to keep her calm as much as possible.

She had left him so many messages but no replies, and he was not reciprocating her calls either it was like he had disappeared from the veneer of the globe without any imprints.

” So what happened?”, Crystal asked waiting for the rest of the anecdote.

When she woke up this morning after a stressful night of finding sleep as she was worried about her boyfriend, she soon picked up her phone, thinking that he might have at least replied to her messages or calls but there was nothing.

Folding her hands under her breast to feel comfortable standing up, she turned to face her friend whispering,

“I thought that he was in danger or something like that as Jake always has his phone with him 24/7, but I was wrong, he was catching sight of my calls but deliberately ignoring them as he was busy with something else, or rather someone else?”, Georgia let out the last words as tears dripped down her eyes.

Lacking words to console her friend, Crystal rose to her feet, walked towards Georgia, and brought her to sit down before she fell.

The pain she was feeling inside could not be understood by her friend, but knowing how talkative, crazy, happy, and always playful Georgia is, catching a glimpse of her in such a dilemma is also hurtful for Crystal as it is for her.

” I am so sorry that you had to go through such a terrible thing”, Crystal held her friend close while she began crying tears again.

“How could he do this to me, why did he make a fool out of me Crystal he told me that he had broken up with his ex-girlfriend and he never wanted to see her again because of all the nasty things that she had done to him, how come she was in his house putting on his shirt?”, Georgia screamed out in pain and veins could be seen on her leg as she yelled out her frustration.

That was rather the reaction that Crustal was scared about as it was the real sigh. of her pain towards the predicament, she was facing.

Tightening her grip on her, she caressed her hair wiring off her tears while Georgia kept on weeping and cursing Jake for what he had done to her.

” I could not believe my ears when I went to his apartment and I could hear music playing from inside his flat when I knocked I heard footsteps walking towards the door and he unlocked it, the sight of me his Face dropped like a thief and he unlocked me from going into his house when I wanted to”, she narrated all these with pain in her heart and tears in her eyes.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Catching a glimpse of the fervor that had cropped up on Crystal’s face, one could tell that she was feeling so much pain that Georgia was in that situation.

Using her chin to keep her friend’s head from moving up and down, she pulled her body against hers, preventing her from shaking so much.

Crystal was hungry but at the same time, she could not leave her friend in such a manner to eat food, so she carried on with what she was doing.

“Why me Crystal, why did he have to do this to me, am I not beautiful enough or am I not classy enough that he had to go back to his ex-girlfriend?”, her pain could be felt like a spasm of lightening but there was nothing she could do at that moment.

” Please stop now Georgia if not you will be sick and I do not want that, if you do not stop crying now, I will be forced to call your mother from her Office to come home immediately”, Crystal spoke outputting on a serious face as she knew that Georgia could not bear to get her mother involved into this because it might be very fatal.

Searching around for her phone, Crystal was shocked to hear Georgia telling her to call the mom if she wanted to and that it would be very okay and she was going to show that fool called Jake that no one hurts her and goes free.

At this point, Crystal could not take it anymore so she turned inside out and asked Georgia what was going on in that tiny little head of hers.

She was mad with rage and she had been holding herself back just because she wanted to console her and make her feel better, but it was obvious that Georgia wanted to keep playing the dummy over a man that doesn’t deserve her.

“Jake cheated on you with his ex-girlfriend and here you are crying over him like a baby, seriously Georgia?”, she raised her voice at her.

Only at that moment did Georgia realize that she had given birth to a situation that she was not expecting.

Crystal reminded her of all the heartbreak shadeShadeehad in the past, all the cheating and pain, yet she was still seated there and crying for a man.

” Don’t you ever learn my friend, it simply means that Jake had never stopped seeing his ex-girlfriend and you were the person who did not have a place in his life and it is his lost not yours”, Crystal went on with the words and Georgia opening her eyes in surprise, was the one telling her friend to calm down but Crystal said she will not calm down till she stops behaving like a teenager that just had her first heartbreak,

“Jake or whatever he is been called does not deserve you Georgia, know this and know peace”, Crystal yelled out, walking by the table where her plate of food was and started up with the eating that she had left halfway because of some silly guy called Jake.

Georgia who had stopped crying and was looking at Crystal Mad in rage, wiped Off the remaining tears that were drooping at the nook of her eyes, as she informed her friend that she was not going to cry anymore.

” Good cause I am tired of you going through the same thing over and over again with some idiots that do not even deserve you in the first place”, Crystal spoke out sipping some juice from the glass that was by her.

As the room had become intense, Georgia’s phone was heard ringing in the space but she could not identify where the sound was coming from.

Searching altogether, Crystal noticed that she was seated on her phone, which was under the sheets, she rose to her feet, taking the phone to hand over to her friend, and she caught a glimpse of the caller and it was none other than Jake.

Looking at the face that Crystal had on, Georgia could tell that there was something wrong so swallowing the lump that had formed in her throat, making the gulping of saliva difficult to go down, Georgia had a sweaty face and a skittish posture as she asked,

“Who is the caller Crystal?”.

Crystal giving her an extended stare, handed over her phone saying it was Jake who was phoning.

Crystal loves her friend so much and can defend her anywhere and anytime, but she is also aware of the fallouts of interfering in a love dilemma as it is always disastrous.

All she could do was advise her friend and leave the rest for her and her thoughts to decide on what was best or not.

Georgia peeping at Jake’s name on her phone felt a rowdy resentment that she could not explain and she dropped the call looking at the end of her room breathing like a person who had been involved in a fistfight.

Crystal who kept on staring at her is her food like never before felt the sweat running down her friend’s forehead, so she mumbled,

” Why don’t you put on the air conditioner since you are roasting in here”, Crystal’s mouth made rousing noises that made Georgia look at her like she was a warlock.

Voices could be heard from Simons’s room as he was in a heated argument with Becky, who had come to take her place.

“I will not let you be for any other woman Simon”, she yelled out walking all over his room and scattering his items on his table.

Simdid on, not knowing what to say to her again as he had said everything he had to say to her.

Simon could not understand why a beautiful lady like Becky, will be making ridicule herself and behave like she did not understand when a man didn’t have an interest in her anymore.

Pushing down his flat-screen TV, Simon could not control himself faced with this action, so he slapped her and Becky fell on the floor, holding her cheek like someone who had been hit with a mighty stone.

Getting up to her feet, she could not believe that Simon had slapped her as the shock was too much for her to contain.

With tears setting in her eyes, she asked,

” You slapped me Simon?”, twitching like a leaf that had been plucked out.
