Crystal's pov
Few days later...
Ever since Maddison has been arrested, her and Dante's family are continuesly trending in the news. Everyone is talking about them. Not just that, but now once again I'm in the news. Everyone wants to know who is Dante's wife and why she is hiding herself from the world.
Not just that but they were nagging Kingsleys too and Kingsleys being Kingsleys, they played their usual dirty game which was to shift blame on others for their own wrongdoings.
Just now I have watched an interview of Maddison's mom where she very conveniently placed all the blame on us. Not just that but she bloody called me names. Through she didn't revealed my name, she addressed me as Dante's wife and then kept on abusing me in the name of interview.
After watching her video, I literally felt like breaking something but I somehow stopped myself. Now that Maddison has been arrested and Knights have taken all their money back from them, I know they are going to speak rubbish about us almost everyday so breaking things are of no use.
After I calmed myself I decided to get ready for the college.
Yeah college.
I'm going college after three days and I really feel don't feel like going. It's not that I hate college or something, infact I love college. It just sometimes I become too lazy to do anything and today is my lazy day.
With sour mood, I decided to bath first so I took my clothes out from the wardrobe and went to the bathroom.
When I was in shower, my mind automatically went to the best three days of my life when I was free from college and office. All I was doing was rest and I loved that.
During those days, mrs Knight literally made me feel luckiest. She was always around and made me really comfortable with her. Not just her but Sarah too was their for me. They both are really sweet and caring.
I like them so much.
Well talking about Dante, I was really nervous around him after that night but he not for once made me uncomfortable in his presence. Infact he made me happy with his awesome sense of humor. Though it doesn't mean that he didn't came close to me. He did!
When we were alone he used to peck my cheek and instead of getting scared about being caught by someone he seemed to be careless about that matter. And when I tried to scold him for his behavior instead of understanding things, he bloody laughed at me which made me mad but he had his ways to get my forgiveness which was giving me threats of more pecks.
I laugh when I remembered his threats. He is too cute.
After my bath, I quickly wore my clothes and then proceed to do the makeup and this time I decided to look good for Dante.
No no, not for him. For me. For my ownself.
Keep lying to yourself.
My inner voice mocked me to which I groaned. Later I start doing my makeup but felt little down when I saw a little band aid on my forehead. Through I'm healing now but what happened three days before really made me scared.
Shaking my head I started applying makeup on my face when I got a text from Ashley.
Ugh. She's really being noisy nowadays.
I ignored her message and continued getting ready. When I was done I smiled at myself as I was looking prettier than usual.
After that I took my bag and ran downstairs but as I was running down the stairs my clumsy ass kicked in and suddenly I jerked forward and in the process my tummy got bumped with the sharp railing causing me to cry in pain.
"Crystal" I heard Dante's yell and soon I found him in front of me with a worried face. He caught my palm and took me towards the couch.
"Sit" He said pointing towards the couch and went away in hurry.
I sat their and tried to calm myself. Soon he came to me with a glass of water and gave that to me.
As I was drinking the water I saw him looking at me with worried face.
After drinking the water I sighed in relief and smiled at him.
"Dante I'm fine, don't worry" I said with a smile but from my words his worried face turned to the angry one.
"Why are you so careless Crystal? When you know that you're clumsy you should be more careful around stairs but no, you were running around the stairs like a kid" He yelled angrily at me.
"Already you were in pain because of Maddison and now again you are in pain and this time because of your own carelessness" He again yelled at me.
He was yelling at me but instead of getting angry I was getting happy that he cared for me.
"Crystal, are you for real? Here I'm talking to you and you're smiling?" He asked in disbelief.
"Correction. You were not talking to me. You were yelling at me" I said with a grin to which he looked more angry.
Uh oh.
"Seriously Crystal?" He asked annoyingly to which I shrugged my shoulders.
"Ugh.. I'm sorry. I'll be careful from next time now please stop shouting at me" I said to which he glared me hard.
"Dante please" I said softly and got up from the couch.
"Are you okay now?" He asked to which I nodded my head in yes and he sighed.
"Please try to be careful from next time" He said to which I nodded.
"Come on. Let's have some breakfast" He said with a smile to which I groaned.
Ugh! I still hate having breakfast.
He laughed at my irritated face and caught my hand in his and dragged me towards the dinning hall.
âââ¦ââ
After having my breakfast I rushed to my college as I was really late today. But somehow I made it on time.
When I was attending my lectures Ashley came to me and sat beside me which made me frown as Ashley was the girl who never loved sitting in front bench. She always preferred last benches over front benches.
"Hey" She smiled at me to which I returned the smile but something about her smile looked suspicious to me but I decided to ignore that.
After our class I went to cafeteria and ordered a sandwich and coffee for myself and sat in the nearby table.
Soon enough my few friends joined me and we all engaged ourselves in gossip.
When we were talking I saw Ashley coming towards us with a sandwich and coffee in her hand. She gave them to me. I frowned at her.
"That's your order only. I thought of passing that to you" She said and I nodded at her to which she grinned at me. But again I felt weird. Something about her happy face was off. She was behaving really weird which kinda made me scared.
"Have it" Ashley smiled at me and sat beside me.
I faked a smile at her and start having my sandwich along with my coffee. When I was having my food, I felt someone's gaze. I turned a little to see that Ashley was looking at me and somehow I noticed a small smirk on her face but she quickly turned away from me before I could have asked her something.
I sighed and completed my food asap and left from there.
Now I just have one lecture to attend. After that office and then home. Yayy!
As I was attending my lecture I suddenly felt tight knot in my stomach causing me to grip my seat bench tightly but soon it went away to which I sighed.
But again I felt the same. Again I gripped the bench tightly. With the passing time my stomach ache was increasing. It must be paining because of the morning incident when I bumped with stairs railing.
Dante was right. I should have been careful around the stairs. Ugh!
