17 Crystal's pain
Crystal silently watched the entire scene in front of the screen.
First, Christano and Olivia's conversation....
Then Romano's entry, was a total shocker for her....
Her dread was increased ten fold times when she saw the rest of Billionaire squad boys.
She clearly remembered his face, the face that had haunted her dreams....
"I would have destroyed you..." the words kept ringing in her ears.
'Watson'
She never kept tabs on him, even after the break up.
She was too shattered to keep any hopes alive.
She just let him go...
Never once did he try to hear out her explaination, he blindly believed his childhood friend Victoria over her.
That manipulative bitch had cost her not only Watson, but her parents as well as Samantha and Susan.
Old memories haunted her back.....
(FLASHBACK) :
"Believe me Watson, I didn't push her into the swimming pool...
Why would I do that to her??"
"You did. Because you are jealous!!! " said an angry Watson.
"I'm not jealous. I don't like a fake person that she is.."
"See. You are... How could you go so low, so cheap... ?? You know that Victoria don't know how to swim. She would have died." Watson gritted his teeth.
"Firstly, I don't know about that. Secondly I did not push her. Thirdly, I am not jealous of her. And fourthly, you cannot accuse me of such crime." Crystal said in determination. It was one thing to lie but totally unacceptable to accuse her for such a lowly act.
"Oh please, you are being fake now. You are being a clingy bitch. Victoria was right about you... You are fake and clingy. If anything would have happened to her, I would have..... " Watson was furiously biting his lips now...
"You would do what??" Crytsal challenged him to complete his sentence.
"I would have destroyed you..."
Crystal's breath hitched, Watson was clenching his fists tightly. "You and I are just done now..." with that he left her.
Watson left her.... Left her for that bitch....
Not only that, but he threatened her....
That caused her more pain than anything...
How could he threaten her?

(PRESENT) :
Crystal's thoughts were interrupted when Rain shrieked.
"Holy god of Cyber, why the hell are they going to her apartment.."
Crystal's eyes went back to the screen, where she saw all the Billionaire squad once again.
She felt disgusted at the sight of them....
"Fuck! Even Olivia is driving like an old lady who is running off from a cockroach."
Crystal rolled her eyes, "Olivia is safe in Lamborghini, all thanks to my expertise....as well as yours.."
Crytsal loved cars as well, she made sure that the car design was able to sustain any injury or accident. Along with Rain's technical gadgets, the car was just the safest thing for the person driving.
It's the CROSS invention, one that they are very proud of.
"Why are they going back!!!!!!! Stupid Olivia..." Rain was frustrated, yet again it was an unexpected move made by them. If only she had locked the door...
"Probably because they are now gonna investigate." Crystal said as a matter of fact.
"Fuck!!! I just hope that they don't find the secret drawer...." Rain said biting her lips.
"What does it contains?"
Rain hesitated.... "The file on Susan..."
Guilt wrapped Crystal, her breathing was uneven now.
'Susan....'
"It's not your fault..." Rain said in all seriousness.
Crystal's lips trembled, "No.... Samantha was right, it is my fault.." she closed her eyes remembering the painful memories.
"No she forgives you and even wants you to forgive her..." Rain said holding her hands.
"She never asked me for forgiveness..."
"She is scared to face you...after what had happened...she really can't..." Rain could not complete.
"Keep that excuse to yourself." Crystal murmured softly, her pain was too deep..... Rain refrained from talking about it.
They sat in a comfortable silence after that, looking at the Billionaire squad boys investigating Olivia's apartment.

Olivia drived for nearly an hour. With the speed in which she was driving, she crossed four cities in that amount of time and was now making her way back to the CROSS headquarters.
Making sure that no one was following her, she slid past the CROSS gate, and went to the car garage.
Everything was highly upgraded with technology. There was hardly any need for man power...
That's why CROSS girls didn't have any staff.
They either worked themselves or let the technology do the work.
It was a paradise for car and bike lovers.
Quickly parking her car, she dashed to her room.
On her way she saw Crystal's crestfallen face and Rain's anxiety looming over.
"What is it?" Olivia asked.
"They barged into your apartment..." Rain said hesistantly.
"I know.... Christano and that bastard..."
It was Crystal who spoke now, "After you were gone..."
Olivia stopped dead in tracks, "No...." she said in utter disbelief.
"Yes... They investigated your apartment." Crystal said looking at Rain, who refused to make any eye contact with the either.
"What!!!??? "
"They took few things as well...Rain tell her."
Both Olivia and Crystal looked expectantly towards Rain.
