Billionaire's contract wife

CHAPTER 7

THIRD PERSON POV CONT:

Jake and Crystal became the center of attention, some whispers Jake was single all this time because he hadn't seen the beauty that matches his godly features beside every king needs a queen. Some whispers about not knowing this goddess in the society. A lot of stories came up but Jake wasn't ready to let go of wife to be. He lead her to an old couple 'Grandpa, grandma meet Crystal Varso' he introduces her. 'Oh my world, you look beautiful darling' his grandma complimented. ' Thank you' she said blushing. 'You must be the girl my grandson is about to wed, its a good thing in our family after that witch.....' Grandpa was cut off by grandma's throat clearing. 'Mind our manners, he is Grey Michealson and am Fiona Michealson' his grandma introduce them selves. 'Nice to meet you both' she said smiling. 

'She is lovely girl' Grey complimented. 'Grandpa can i talk to you privately?' Jake requested. 'Sure son, and you my lovely Crystal owes me a dance' he says with a grin. She nods and both men leaves, 'let's go get a table, am starving' Fiona says. They move to the table near the stage and order some food. 'Jake is a nice boy you know' Fiona starts a conversation. Crystal smiles, it was her grand son maybe she didn't know how arrogant he is but she isn't going to complain about him but enjoy the company of Fiona. The waiter bring them salad, they chatted and Crystal learned how the Michealson groups came to life. 

'Crystal just ignore what Grey said earlier' Fiona says touching Crystal's hands. 'Jake might look all tough out side but he is a good person within and i can see it in you that you are the perfect girl for him, you will have to protect him from the out side world he has been shielding him self from' she continued. Crystal couldn't understand the meaning of Fiona's words. 'You look confused dear but don't you worry, you will soon understand' she says squeezing Crystal's hand gently. 

Just as Crystal is about to say something in return, a lady walks up to their table with a glass of champagne in her hands. She's wearing a red dress with a high slit and so much make up. Her dress is exposing so much of her br**st but she looks beautiful in her out fit. 'Hi Fiona' lady in red says with a mischievous grin. 'Hi Annabelle' Fiona answers with a scoff. 'Ain't you gonna introduce me to her' Annabelle says looking at Crystal with a frown. Crystal couldn't fathom why this lady was already angry with her and she decided to break the look. 'Hi am Crystal' she said extending her hands to Annabelle. 'Oh Crystal, am Annabelle' Annabelle replies accepting the hands. 'Annabelle can you please excuse us?' Fiona says holding Crystal and leaving the table. 'But you haven't finished your food' She says sarcastically. 'Don't worry, we fulled already' Fiona answers leaving with Crystal.

Crystal wanted to ask Fiona who that lady was but decided she didn't want to get into her affairs and look like a poke noser. 'Any time you see that lady, avoid her' Fiona warns. The men return back and is shocked to see Fiona's angry face. 'Grand ma what happened, why this look?' Jake asks, 'why didn't you tell me Annabelle was back?' she answers. Jake breathes in 'I had no idea she was going to be here, she came to my office few days ago and i thought i shouldn't ruin this fund raising party for you by telling you but she obviously had her ways with things' he says glaring at Annabelle's direction. 'Its fine dear but is your mom aware of her coming back?' Fiona asks worriedly. 'No grandma, she doesn't. I just don't want her in that state again' he answers.

'I understand you dear but we will talk about it later, i don't want to spoil this night for our dear Crystal' Grey says with a smile towards Crystal. Jake looks at her and smiles but Crystal knew that smile wasn't the same smile she got when he first saw her this evening. Crystal could not understand any thing they were saying, who was this Annabelle that makes every one of them worried. If was to get married in this family, she has to know what and who to avoid she thought. The mic was turned on 'that's why cue to the stage and Crystal you still owe me a dance' Grey winked at her and held Fiona to the stage. 

'Jake, who is Annabelle?' Crystal asks taking his face off the stage. 'No one you should be worried about' he replied. 'You gonna be meeting Richie tomorrow and sign the contract' he continues. He was back to his self again Crystal thought, the arrogant man. How was she so stupid to think he was a gentle man she cursed her self. His phone rings and he excused him self to answer it leaving Crystal all by her self in the party.

'So i see how close you are to Jake' a feminine voice said from behind. Crystal turns to find Annabelle glaring at her with hate. What's with this woman she thought. 'Excuse me!!!!' Crystal replies with a frown. 'My dear Crystal Varso, you from the gutter, so am guessing you don't know that you shouldn't answer that way' she said loudly trying to draw attention. Crystal looks at her and scoff, Annabelle was trouble  but she wasn't ready for any one to trash talk her this way. 'Why don't you look at your self in the mirror and tell who comes from the gutter, with those make ups on your face, you look like the 60s harlot' Crystal replies with a smirk which angered Annabelle. Annabelle couldn't hold or control the anger in her, this low life from the street had insulted her in public. Annabelle raises her hands to slap Crystal but wasn't fast enough as Crystal catches her hand in mid air. 'Don't even think of it' Crystal says throwing her hands away. Annabelle couldn't allow this humiliation and rushes to attack her but Crystal dodges her and Annabelle lands on the floor. Annabelle trying to stand up catches a glimpse of Jake heading their way decided to feign victim and starts to cry. 'Whats going on here?' Jake questions with a frowned face. Every one was gathered looking at Annabelle on the floor crying. Grey and Fiona also steps down from the stage suspending their speech.

Crystal was about to explain but was stopped by Annabelle. 'She pushed me' Annabelle said pointing at Crystal. 'I was just trying to talk to her and she pushed me' she continues crying making Jake uncomfortable. He helps Annabelle up and looks at Crystal questioning. 'You believe her? she attacked me and did this to her self Jake!!!' Crystal tries to defend her self. 'Lets go' Jake says trying to drag Crystal but she pulls her hands from his grip. 'Since you don't believe me, i can go home myself' Crystal hurriedly leave the party. 'She isn't worth it Jake, look at what she did to me' Annabelle says trying to hug Jake. 'Get your hands off me' Jake gently pushes Annabelle away 'and leave' he says. 

Fiona walks to Jake 'don't lose some one who is perfect for you because of your insecurity, go after her' she caress his cheeks. Jake rushes outside to find Crystal but she was already gone
