Chapter 5

Me Wilson was a good catch, a pretty good one at that, but Blaze was the one she was there for and she was so eager to see him and this time it wasn't only for her assignment but there was something else that had added that she couldn't explain it herself.

"So tell me, what can I do to make Ms., Nathalia mine for the night?". He inquired.

She looked at him and thought to herself that if it wasn't for the assignment that she had that evening, she would have dealt with the man in front of her.

" Nothing there isn't much to do to get my attention Mr. Wilson", She replied.

A waiter had arrived from the signal of Mr. Wilson's gesture and he had ordered the most expensive bottle of champagne with two glasses.

"So tell me, what are the things that you can do for me and I give you my word that if you do me good, I will treat you right because money is not a problem". He spoke with sureness.

" I bet you can", She chuckles as she looks at him straight in the eyes.

The bottle of champagne was brought to them and it was opened and served.

"Let's make a toast to a beautiful lady with a great sense of humor", He spoke as they toasted their glasses.

The blaze had been held down by a stripper who was making him feel good. It was a moment of ecstasy as his good looks were always used as a point of attraction to ladies and they couldn't resist.

He sat there letting her touch him from side to side while he swayed his eyes from east to south. He had a serious mission and he wasn't going to fail it no matter what it was going to cost him.

" Why are you all tensed handsome, relax and let me make you feel good", the striper said.

The blaze was a snub and he wasn't the talking type so he just looked at her and snubbed.

The striper continues to do her thing while He just sat down there like a carving wood with no sentiments.

He got up brutally and walked out of the private place and he went back to his position on the table.

The ladies he had bought drunks for were still there chatting and having fun.

He looked around one more time and as he was about to turn his head to take his glass and drink some more, he saw Crystal sitting at a corner with a man.

He was lost at the sight of her beauty as she looked at her with so much passion and intensity.

Her beauty was nothing he had ever seen before and she was just an epitome of the word beauty.

His eyes, were like that of an Egyptian goddess finely shaped with a suspended pencil giving way for her wonderful pair of a nose pointed like an arrow and her lips were well placed on her face.

His eyes couldn't get off her and he had forgotten about his revenge for a minute before coming back to his senses.

"What is wrong with me?", He asked as he tried to take control of the situation.

Crystal took up her gaze in an attempt to find him amid all those people in the bar, and her eyes fell right on him staring at her as he had never seen her before.

She looked at him with her heart beating so fast that Mr. Wilson had noticed that she was talking anymore and that something else had captured her attention.

" Hello Nathalie, are you still listening to me?". He inquired.

She couldn't answer because what she came there for she had just seen it.

"Nathalie", He touched her by the hand.

She came back to herself and looked at the person she was sitting with. Only then did she realized that she had been off for some seconds.

" Are you alright girl?", he asked with so much softness in his voice as though he couldn't hurt a fly.

"I am very fine Wilson, I think I just saw someone that I recognize". She explained with her head in the air still looking at Blaze.

" There she is I was certain that I will find her here tonight and now that I have seen her, I am not letting her go.

Blaze left the bar counter and walked towards the table where Crystal was sitting with Mr. Wilson. what did he have in mind to do?.

I could see him walking towards me and I sat still like a bag of salt as I couldn't move. Was this normal or was there something else wrong with me? I pondered on that while my heartbeat raised to another level.

Wondering in her if that was the person she was assigned to come to victimize this night, she excused herself as she said she was going to the bathroom.

When she returned, Blaze on his end had recognized her and decided to walk to her where she was seated with Mr. Wilson.

"Hello, beautiful?", he said as he stretched out his hand to Crystal.

Crystal was hesitant to take his salutation as her heart skipped a million times but later responded to it.

" Hi", She said as she took out her hand too.

"Can I join you both?", he asked with a charming smile that made her more lost at the sight of her victim.

" Of course you can", she replied so fast that she didn't have the time to ask her the one sitting with her if it was okay with him.

The atmosphere became quiet for a moment, with everyone on the table just staring at each other and Mr. Wilson decided to break the silence.

"Who are you going man?", he asked offended.

" I am her companion for the night", he answered back.

Crystal looked at him with so much enthusiasm and couldn't decipher if that was part of her job for the night.

Duke turned towards her and said,

"I can see that you are in good company", looking at her straight into her eyes as though he was trying to pass across a coded message.

" I have been here waiting for you and you took quite some time", She replied in a bold but calm voice.

Mr. Wilson who has been watching the whole scene git furious and yelled out,

"What the hell is going on here?. I met her first and she is going home with me tonight", He said disgruntled.

The situation was getting out of hand and Crystal knew he had to do something before it escalates, so she got up from her seat and approached Wilson and whispered with a smile,

" Don't be in this state Mr., he is the person I told you I was waiting for".

He wasn't happy because he looked like a fool, hence he took his bottle of drink and left the table.

"Such a persistent man", Blaze related.

The silence went through the both of them again as they listened to the music playing.

" I didn't introduce myself, I am Blaze Jadiel Lewis", he said with a gigantic smile.

"I am Crystal Melody", She said.

Crystal on the other hand had become shy which was something that was not typical of her.

She found herself unable to seduce her victim to lure him into her bed and steal the money from him.

" Are you okay?", a voice interrupted her lost nature.

"She bowed her head like a teenager that was having her first date with the man she loved and said, yes I am fine".

Duke got up from his perch and came closer to her to enjoy the moment more.

It seems Crystal was the person who was going to be a victim by the person she was going to victimize.

" Do you care for anything else Ms.? he asked as he sent his hand round her waist.

The tension in her became more eminent and she roused to her feet and said,

"If you want you can get another bottle of champagne", She replied biting the edges of her lips.

" What is wrong with me, why the sudden change in attitude?", She muttered to herself.

She knew she wasn't acting as planned and her behavior was strange, but she had in mind that, if she doesn't do that, her inheritance won't be discharged to her.

"You look extremely gorgeous tonight, more beautiful than the last time", He mumbled.

She looked at him and remembered that he is a businessman and it is normal for him to have sweet words to flatter her into his bed.

" Are you with me Ms., you seem quite call and distant tonight. If you have any worry, I am here you can ask anything".He let out.

She started at him in so much admiration lost in the sound of his voice and cuteness of his face but she had to be objective as she didn't come there to play.

"I have never met this man before, why do I feel such a hookup with him?", She asked.

Blaze kept on staring at her from head to toe and back and he couldn't stop marveling why such a beautiful and innocent-looking girl will get herself to lure men and steal from them.

" agreeably, I am going to find out what usually happens". He conceited.

The evening was in ambiance and the club was expanding as people came in their numbers to have fun.

"Do you care for a dance with me?", he proposed as he gave her his hand.

" No way I am a terrible dancer", she announced laughing out.

"We can always teach ourselves some moves", He proceeded with his request.

" Thank you but I don't dance", she denied again.

"Please Ms., don't be shy". He urged her to.

" Okay fine I accept but on one condition", she let out.

"Anything, just say it". Blaze reassured.

" That you won't laugh at me", She burst out into laughter.

Blaze laughed out too and they both set out to dance. The music playing was a hip hop genre and the moves were crazy.

She danced and twerk and for a moment it was as though she had forgotten why she was there.

Blaze couldn't stop admiring her whenever she smiled while dancing as her beauty was indescribable and her slim legs in her short black gown gave her an extra spicing.

"Come on let's dance", she screamed.

They danced for a span the music switched from hip-hop to a soft music

While other partners came together and held each other, Crystal couldn't fit in it because she was feeling weird and that was the first time for her to feel that way with a victim.

" Can you offer me this dance one more time?", Blaze approached her.

His breath on her was melting her heart and he couldn't resist her beauty, but he was very much aware of his plans tonight.

While Crystal was targeting Blaze, so was Blaze targeting her and the question is who is going to be triumphant?.

The night wasn't over yet and the romance between them had grown as they kept on dancing.

"I love the fragrance of your body and the texture of your hair". He said softly at the back of her ear.

She couldn't answer and remained quiet dancing.

" Do you often come here?", she raised a question.

Blaze answer was like a strike of lightning,

"I own this club", he answered.

Crystal was shocked but she didn't want to seem excited so she responded,

" It is a good form of investment Mr. Blaze and I must confess you have really good taste for the mise-en-place of the club's interior decor". She proceeded.

"Merçi beaucoup Mademoiselle", he answered.

She didn't know that Blaze could speak French as well.

She sat quietly for some time and they just enjoyed the dance in each other's arms.

" I will like to take you to my house from here", Blaze broke the silence.

Crystal was happy upon hearing this as that was what she wanted to happen.

Her charm was finely kept in her leggings under the dress as she always put it.

"It will be a pleasure for me to share your bed handsome", She agreed.

Blaze smiled at his victory as this was going to being him more respect and wealth amongst his friends and business partners.

"Shall we dance some more before leaving, or do you prefer we sit down for a while", he inquired.

She wanted to get that done and over with so she opted for them to leave and go have fun at his house.

Blaze offered her his hand and they both walked out of the club as though they have been a couple for ages.

When they arrived outside, his car was brought to him and his keys were handed over to him as well.

" Do you own this car", she asked in shock as it was the latest car in town.

Blaze looked at her and with a smile, he responded,

"Yes, this is one of my babies".

Crystal could believe her eyes. She knew that Blaze was a young and rich man but what she didn't know was that he was freakishly rich.

" Shall we?", he asked as he opened the door for her to get in.

They set out to Blaze's house and she was quiet thinking to herself how much he could be having in the briefcase she saw in the backseat.

"I am sure he has a lot of money and u intend grabbing all of it", She mulled over in her as she looked at Blaze in the face.

Blaze on his part was very watchful at every step she was making so as not to fall victim.

The ride was steady and the silence was persistent so Blaze had to bring up a conversation.

" What are the things you like to do?", he asked.

She hesitated for some seconds as to why he wanted to know personal stuff about her and then she answered,

"I love business, I love to travel and every good thing life has to offer me"/ She responded.

" That was a pretty good answer right there you know!", he asserted.

She became calm again and later asked,

"And you, what do you like?",

He looked at her and smiled saying,

" You will know definitely".

She was laughing in her because she was sure that her plan will be a success and that she wouldn't have to meet with him again.

He drove for some time again and there they were at his mansion. Crystal was wowed right from the gate till they entered his compound.

His house was exceptional and the blending of the colors used to paint his house was just magic.

The whole yard was filled with orchids of a different kind and the security was outstanding.

She was caught aback and she couldn't help but ask,

" Do you live here alone? she inquired.

"Yes, I do with my maids and security agents". He replied.

The Mansion was twice bigger than where I live. Crystal was forfeited by the sight of that stunning shack standing right in front of her.

" Shall we go in?", Blaze asked politely as he led the way.

The Maids had already heard the sound of their boss's car so they were at the entrance to welcome him and his guest.

"Welcome sir, Welcome Ms.", they all said in unison.

" Thank you", Crystal responded politely.

Blaze took her to his room as it was late and he asked the maids not to interrupt him.

"This is such a big house, and I am sure he constantly comes in here with ladies all the time", she thought over.

He took her upstairs and she saw how nicely everything was put into place and how neat his house was.

It was dusk time but the house had so many bulbs glittering through it. The house was indeed very beautiful.

When they reached the compartment, she entered and sat on the bed, glancing at the room as though she was digging through for something and her eyes filtered every corner of the room.

" Do you want something?", he raised a question.

"Yes, red wine will do", She responded with a smile.

He went and brought a wine bottle and two wine glasses and he placed them on the table.

" Thank you", she said softly.

"So, tell me what does Ms. Crystal do for a living? he brought up another personal topic.

She didn't want to disclose her identity as saying her name was enough for her. She looked at him and asked,

"What do you think I can be doing at 23?".

" so many things. For instance, student, worker, housewife and plenty of other options". He replied.

She was impressed by his answer but she kept quiet.

"It seems to me that you are a very private person", he continued.

" Yes I am and I love my privacy so much that I don't disclose it anyhow", she muttered.

He took out the bottle and opened it while looking at Crystal straight in the eyes.

"I hope you will love this wine", he uttered softly.

She smiled from under her cheeks and looked the other way waiting for the perfect time to put in the drug to get him to sleep.

Blaze was already targeting her too but he wasn't going to drug her, he was going to switch the drinks and she will be the person to fall asleep while he makes love to her.

" I need to use the bathroom, I will be back in a minute", he said to her.

That was a perfect opportunity for her to do what she always did best.
