Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Judy was on Cloud Nine. With a smile on her face, she called for everyone's attention and said, "We should always watch our tongues from now on. Crystal's boyfriend is a man of stature and renown. You said he was her Sugar Daddy, but you were wrong! You are lucky he is a forgiving person. He is not without his limits, though. From now on, anyone caught gossiping about Nathan and Crystal will be sent to Gossiping Jail! Furthermore, you shouldn't drug, rape, or plan to kill Crystal either."

Afterward, Judy approached Crystal and said, "Don't worry about them. If anyone dares to spread any rumors about you on WhatsApp, I will help you put them in Gossiping Jail. We are friends after all,"

Crystal smiled and shook her head. "Don't worry about it. I don't care what they say. Neither of us does." After saying this, she turned to Nathan and said, "Right, Dear?"

Nathan rubbed her hair indulgently. He had been so entranced by the movement of her lips that he'd forgotten to listen to what she'd been saying. Nevertheless, he was so happy that Crystal managed to save herself from her classmates' trap earlier.

Meanwhile, Carlos sat across the room. He was alone, and he had a sad look in his eyes. He had a glass of whiskey in his hands that he brought to his mouth. He took a sip, and as he watched Nathan and Crystal, his grip on the glass tightened. He looked at the clock on the wall and began to count the seconds - "One wooly-mammoth-Two-wooly-mammoth-Three wooly-mammoth." And times seemed to go by very, very slowly. He was so jealous of the couple that it felt like he was dying.

After everything that he'd been through with Crystal, he saw her as one of his possessions. Thus, if she belonged to him, then Nathan was a vile thief. Unfortunately, he recognized that he was inferior. The usurper was more powerful. He was physically stronger and better looking. He knew that Nathan was capable of doing many things than him.

Carlos clenched his teeth and refused to let his anger show on his face. He waited until no one was looking, and then he left the party. It wasn't long after that Crystal and Nathan also left. Before Crystal left, though, she stole Joyce's phone. She needed to delete the video that Vannessa used to threaten her earlier.

Once the boat was out of sight, Crystal took Joyce's phone out of her pocket. Unfortunately, it was locked, so she asked Nathan if he could find someone to unlock it for her. Nathan just shrugged, though, and said, "It's not necessary. Pass it over here."

Crystal gave him the phone, and after a few seconds, he'd broken the lock. She was amazed, and she clapped her hands. Nathan smiled and said, "Ta-da!"

Crystal laughed and asked, "How did you do that? I didn't know you're such a genius on cracking difficult phone passwords,"

Nathan smiled at her and shrugged his shoulders, "Magic!"

"As if!" Crystal scoffed. "There is no such thing as magic. I don't believe in magic; it's just an illusion being used by few people who perform in the carnival,"

Nathan laughed and handed her the phone. Then he "Booped" her on the nose and said, "You are too adorable. Sometimes I want to eat you up!"

Crystal smiled seductively and said, "Maybe later, I'll let you do that!"

As Crystal began to go through the phone, Nathan said, "You knew they were going to try to drug you, didn't you? Otherwise, you wouldn't have had the antidote. I'm right, aren't I"

"I knew about the drugs," Crystal admitted. "But don't be mad. I knew that I could handle those people, and I did."

Nathan held Crystal in his arms. "I won't be angry," he said. "But only if you promise to make better choices in the future."

Crystal sighed and said, "Fine. I promise."

Nathan: "Then we don't need to talk about it anymore…."

They were both silent for a few minutes, and then Crystal said, "Joyce told me that my actions cost your company a lot of money. Is that true?"

Nathan: "If I said that they did, would you make it up to me?"

Crystal: "I'm broke. How could I make it up to you?"

Nathan: "Pay the debt with your body. When we go into the bedroom, I want full use of your body to do whatever I want with it. You can't say no to anything. And every time you allow me that freedom, I will knock one hundred thousand dollars off your tab. You've cost me one hundred million dollars, so you owe me one hundred nights of pleasure."

"But I'm not good with numbers!" Crystal exclaimed.

Nathan: "Don't worry. I will keep track of your debt."

Crystal smiled seductively and said, "You really are an evil capitalist, aren't you?"

"I am," Nathan admitted. "And as a Capitalist's wife, it's about time you learned your duty."

Crystal admired Nathan for what he'd said, and she couldn't wait to start paying off her debt. Of course, they still had business to discuss. "Why did you say that I would regret halting the Henry Group's acquisition?" she asked.

Nathan sighed and said, "I may as well tell you. The money that your Mother invested ended up in Jessica Green's account. And the person who had those eggs thrown at you... she was being instigated by her."

Crystal: "So, it's her, then?"

Nathan gave Crystal some papers to read, and as she read them, her ire began to rise. Her face turned white, and she handed the papers back to Nathan. "How could there be such a vicious person?!?!" She asked. "Jessica already has my father. Why isn't that enough? Why did she need to steal my Mother's money as well?"

Nathan looked at Crystal seriously. "What do you want to do?" he asked.

"I want to get revenge," Crystal replied.. "And now I have God on my side."
