* * * * * Crystal’s POV * * * * *
“How can I help you?” I asked bluntly, trying to hold back my anger.
I just hope she doesn’t send me on any silly errands this evening, because I would not even consider doing it.
“I called you here and gave you a job!” She said,
Ha! Like she had done me a big favor.
“Then what? You stabbed me in the back and tried to steal my mate. Where did you even get the guts to betray me? I thought I warned you not to try and betray me?” She yelled.
I just remained silent watching her ramble, I was too sad to fight with anyone right now, especially someone as senseless as her.
“Why are you quiet? Did the cat cut your tongue? Huh? Why did you not say no when he asked you to have sex with him? Do you have any dignity at all? You are so cheap!” She spat.
Maybe she was right. Maybe I really have no dignity, maybe I am too cheap.
I just stood there and let her rain insults on me. Silence has always been the best answer to a fool, I even doubt that Logan isn’t using her like he has used me.
If he loves her then why would he cheat on her. Perhaps she is another one of his sex toys anyway.
“Anyway, I just want to tell you that I do not want to see you anywhere close to this Castle again. You are fired and if you try to come back here, then I will give you a horrible death.” She threatened.
I just turned around sadly and headed for the gate.
It’s obvious she was very jealous after knowing that her soon-to-be mate had slept with me. Logan is just very confusing, he is a chameleon, he had told me that he was only with Lucy because of his parents agreement and I was the one he loved.
Now he had told her that I was just a substitute and she was the one he loved. That guy should make up his mind!
Anyway it doesn’t matter, I despise him and I would cut all ties with him. I should make sure he never finds out about Aidan.
Someone that would threaten to kill an innocent child doesn’t deserve one.
I left the castle and went to my step parents house, they asked me why I looked sad and I told them that I lost my job.
That was the second time I had been fired from the castle, but this time I was not sad because I lost my job, I was sad because my heart had been broken for the third time by Logan.
He had hurt me once again in this lifetime and I wouldn’t forgive him this time.
After spending a little time with my step parents, I took Aidan from there and we walked home.
That night was probably the saddest night of my life. I cried almost the whole night and when I woke up in the morning, there were signs of dried tears trailed down my face.
I walked to the bathroom and washed my face. It was Friday so I had to go to college.
I dressed Aidan up for school, I didn’t bother to branch to my step parents house as I took him straight to his school myself.
Although I had asked my step parents to go and pick him up after school.
During school hours, I bowed my head on the desk. The events of the previous day were still making me sad.
Hahaha! And I even admitted to be in love with him, how could I be so foolish?
Well, it’s time I move on from that. The damage has already been done and my heart already broken, so why cry over spilled milk.
Right now, I should be thinking of how to get a new job that will pay well and still give me time for college. That was as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
I was still lost in thoughts when I perceived a familiar scent, I looked up and saw it was Michael. He was looking hot as usual in a black expensive looking jacket that had a hood.
Sometimes I wonder who is cuter between him and Logan. Wait, why am I even comparing the two of them?
“Hi Mr latecomer,” I muttered, trying to brighten up my face.
He smiled. “Sorry, I had things to take care of at home. But why do you look so gloomy?” He queried
Was it that obvious? Gosh! Logan had really broken me yesterday.
“Um… gloomy? No I’m not, I mean it’s nothing.” I forced a smile
“Don’t lie to me Crystal, you are the kind of girl who’s always cheerful and I am pretty sure I know what a sad face looks like. Now out with it!” he urged while watching me with scrutiny.
Well, I should just tell him. We are friends now after all and I have already told him much about me.
“Okay, the bad news is that I lost my job.” I announced in a soft voice.
There were a few other students in class so I avoided speaking loudly or they would probably mock me.
Apart from my step parents, no one else knows that I work for Logan, not even Rhea.
Speaking of Rhea, I have no idea why she is not at school today. We were supposed to have lectures today, although the lecturer was not yet in school anyway.
” I am really sorry about that, what happened?” He asked and took a seat beside me
“You don’t need to be, it’s kind of my fault. I had an argument with my boss and he fired me,”
Well that wasn’t totally the truth, but I did not want to tell him of my little affair with Logan.
“Listen, even though I don’t know exactly what happened, I don’t think you could be at fault. I mean you are the nicest person I have met, in fact the sweetest so I don’t see why someone would want to fight with you. I am sure your boss is at fault, he must be sick to fight with someone like you,” Michael growled.
Ha! Logan better not hear you call him sick or you would definitely be in big shit.
“It’s alright and thanks for the compliment.” I blushed.
“Well we both know it’s true, now as for work… Don’t worry about it, I will get you a new job right away!” He said
What? How is he supposed to do that?
“Are you for real?” I queried with a quizzical expression on my face.
“Yeah, I will do that right away.” He replied and brought out his phone from the breast pocket of his jacket.
