walked up to the girl and greeted her "Hey, I'm Crystal. What's your name?" "I'm Michelle," she said. "I've read all of the schedule for you guys, and I'll assist Michelle with her schooling whilst arrange the correct ride for your meetings and trips," I said.

 

"She's too good," Mr Chen said to Mrs Chen. Ivan just stood there like a statue. "Ma'am dinner is ready," Harry informed me. "Thanks," I said. "Mr and Mrs Chen, you can freshen up yourselves and come for dinner," I said. They smiled at me and walked to their rooms. Michelle kept on giving me the evil stares. What's up with that attitude girl? I went to the dinning area and set up the plates and food.

 

I pulled out the chair for Mrs Chen. "So generous of you," she commented. "It's my pleasure," I said. 

CHAPTER 5: Doubts on the Dinner Table

Mrs Chen: So Crystal...

Me: Yes ma'am

Mrs Chen: What is the status of your schooling?

Ivan: Mrs Chen Crystal is a top student for everything. Not just academically but also in physical and leadership activities too.

Me: *giggled* Yes ma'am 

Mrs Chen: Impressive

Mr Chen: What about your family status. Your class?

Me: Sir, I am the daughter of Maria Gates.

Mr Chen: Maria Gates? The world’s top billionaire?

Me: yes sir

Mr Chen: You've got to be joking... right?

Ivan: No sir she isn't joking.

 

Everyone was shocked. There were a few minutes of silence.

 

Michelle: What else do you do?

Me: I cook and do the house chores.

Michelle: Mum, dad she's lying. If her mum was Maria Gates, she wouldn't have to do all those chores.

Mrs Chen: Young lady are you lying to me.

Ivan: Ma'am she has no reason to lie.

Mr Chen: We want proof.

 

Ivan got pissed at Michelle. I video called my mum.

 

Me: Hey mum, how are you?

My Mum: I'm good honey, what about you?

Me: I'm good too mum. 

My Mum: Hey Ivan how are you?

Ivan: I'm great Mrs Gates, what about you?

My Mum: OOH, I'm just doing great just caught up with alot of work.

Me: Mum I’ll be staying at Ivan's place for a few weeks because he needs help assisting his guests *as I turn the camera towards Mr and Mrs Chen*

My Mum: I'm proud of you. 

Me: *Blushed* Thanks mum I love you.

My Mum: Alright I have to go I'll talk to you guys later and enjoy.

Me and Ivan: Bye 

My Mum: Bye

Mr Chen: Sorry for doubting you Crystal but why would you bother learning all the chores if you are a daughter of a billionaire?

Me: Sir, I believe that all humans are the same. Money shouldn't make a difference in anything. My true happiness is with helping people out and actually living like a normal human. We should always put ourselves in the place of a slave or person who is poor. They go through a lot.

Mrs Chen: Crystal... I have never met a girl more talented and softer hearted than you. Keep the work up your mother is lucky to have you.

Me: Thankyou ma'am.

CHAPTER 6: Ivan’s Past

I turned to look at Ivan who was looking at me. I smiled and stared back. Whenever me and Ivan stared at each other for so long it was like we were talking to each other without words and signs. Just our eyes. We stared at each other for what seemed like forever until Michelle had choked on her food. I turned to get up to give her water when Ivan pulled me back making me sit back down. "Harry, please give Michelle some water," Ivan ordered. I didn't understand why he stopped me but I knew he was going to tell me sooner or later. 

 

---------------------------------------

Ivan’s POV:

After dinner finished Crystal and I headed to my room for a talk. She pushed me over to get inside first and started jumping on my bed like a little kid. Some acts of her just make her look so cute. I grabbed the wheely chair and sat the opposite way on it.

 

"Crystal! sit down and listen to me," I said but she didn't listen to me.

 

She started making funny faces. I repeated myself a few times, but she wasn't listening. I got out and climbed up onto my bed trying to grab her. She was now running around in circles on my bed with me chasing her. She tripped over my blanket and fell with me tripping over her and falling on top of her. She was trying to move the hair on her face back with blowing it with her mouth. I moved my hands towards her face and moved her hair back to behind her ear. She took a gulp as she stared at me. She is so beautiful. Crystal pushed me off her putting a cheeky smile on her face. I was red. I sat back on the chair and told her to listen to me.

 

"Be careful around Michelle. She doesn't seem like what she is," I warned.

 

"Oh come on, just relax she was choking on her food. She could've died," Crystal exclaimed.

 

"She was faking it," I told her.

 

"How do you know," Crystal questioned.

 

"and why are so against her," she asked.

 

"She's a player, a slut and a BITCH. She was the only friend I had and we were so close," I started.

 

"Then what happened?" Crystal asked.

 

"She was dating a guy and was cheating on him. When he found out that she was cheating on him by sending nudes to other guys and having sex with many she turned me in saying that I blackmailed her. He believed her and we got into a fight with him ending up in hospital. Since then I have hated Michelle," I finished. I could see Crystal raging with anger. Her fist was clutched, and her eyebrows deeply pushed towards the middle.

 

"How dare she!" Crystal yelled. "I'M GONNA KILL THAT MOTHER FUCKER. WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS!" Crystal shouted. She had completely lost it. She was heading towards the door when I received a text from Michelle.

 

"Crystal I got a text from Michelle," I said making her rush back. She snatched my phone and opened her message. I could tell that whatever she had seen was bad. She was even angrier.

 

"RIGHT! SHE WENT TOO FAR THIS TIME,” Crystal told. I took my phone back from her and looked at what seemed like a naked picture of Michelle. Oh-oh. Crystal was already out of the room. I ran after her trying to stop her, but she didn't listen. I had no other choice, so I picked her up and took her back to my room.

 

"Ivan where did you go? Why am I going backwards?” Crystal said as we were going back up. This girl can’t be serious, even when she’s angry. "OOOWWW," she wined. She tried to go again but I threw her back on the bed locking her with my arms.

 

"Ivan let me go." I told her no but she didn't listen. I put my index finger on top of her lips "SHHH!" I said. She was quiet.

 

"But she's a bitch," she whispered.

 

I pulled her towards my chest making her boobs press against my chest. My cock was getting hard, and Crystal felt that. She blinked her eyes slowly. I moved my eyes from her face down to her shoulder. I didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable, so I pulled her top up covering her shoulder. She let a breath of relieve out.

 

"You're welcome," she giggled.

 

"Really," I said in a cocky way.  Her smile turned into a worry. She removed the eye contact. I did not understand why. Suddenly the door opened. It was Michelle.

 

"Ivan why aren't you answering my messages," she said as she froze. I could see the jealousy in her eyes. I wish I could expose her, but I did not want to hurt her parents. They were nice. I turned back to Crystal who was starting to get angry.

CHAPTER 7: Another Attack

 Crystal’s P.O.V

 

I pushed Ivan off me and walked up to Michelle.

 

"Stay away from him, otherwise it won’t be good for you," I threatened to Michelle.

 

"And who are you to tell me what to do," she shot back. "My girlfriend and my best friend," Ivan interrupted.

 

 "What do you see in this piece of shit," Michelle insulted.

 

"I don't see a bitch, a whore, a slut and a player," Ivan shot back.

 

"I am way better than you and if your pride matters to you don't you dare come near my boyfriend," I threatened.

 

"I will take him away from you. I will make him hate you so much that you will beg for death, but you won't get it," Michelle said. "We will see about that," I said back. Michelle left the room. 

 

"What's up with the dating aye," I asked.

 

"If we're dating, we have more people to support us," he said. I didn't quite understand but then he explained everything to me. My brain was still exploding so I left for my room and fell dead asleep. I didn’t want to see Michelle around Ivan.

 

*Next day at college*

 

Ivan was at his football practice and I was heading to my car since I had nothing else to do. The parking lot was empty. I unlocked my car when someone from behind covered my mouth and dragged me to his car. It was Salmon!  “LEAVE ME!” I yelled helplessly. He put me in the back of his car which had child lock. I tried getting to the front but he got in before me and locked all doors.

 

“Salmon what the fuck do you think you’re doing!” I screamed.

 

“Shut up!” he ordered. He was driving really fast.

 

“Salmon let me go right now or I’m going to call the police!” I threatened. He fiercely stopped the car making my phone fall out of my hand. He got out and dragged me out too. We were in a
