New York city
crystal sat on the cold chair in her room listening to the voices coming from downstairs.
funny how the male voice belongs to her husband Alder wood but she never gets the opportunity to chat with him,
"ma'am, madam, breakfast is ready" said a maid
"good morning Ellen. " she greeted the maid before walking into the bathroom for her personal business.
"Alder try this",a woman gentle voice could be heard as crystal went downstairs,she pulled out a chair at the table to sit.
"good morning" she greeted the two at the table,but she expected no reply since it as become a routine.
"Alder can you drop me at the company,I didn't drive here" pearl asked gently
"ummm" Alder hummed a reply
"Alder can you remember Mr Marcus,I told you I was having hard time signing a deal with him.but guess what I got the contract yesterday even though I drank alot that I can't drive today " pearl said
"good job ,and avoid drinking you should be careful with your health " Alder replied with his face full of tenderness.
"it just few glasses it no big deal , am just happy I could share out of the burden ",she said acting spoilt.
"oh right, crystal are you staying at home today again "pearl asked raising her voice like the people around the table can't hear her, Crystal lifed her head from stuffing her stomach with food, "yes "crystal nodded.
" are you not tired of staying at home all day?,if I was the one I would be bored to death" she asked , Alder hissed eying Crystal mockingly.
"Alder I heard your company as an open spot for receptionist maybe you should hire Crystal "pearl with fake concern on her face
"she is not worthy " Alder replied coldly
" oh I forgot,You didn't go to college,to work in Woods corp you need good results " pearl said feigning ignorance.
"maybe you should come to my place,but it just cleaning job available " she said looking at crystal mockingly.
"Thanks,miss Williams but that won't be necessary " crystal snapped at her.
"Alder ,I just want to help crystal but she dies not want,I promise the pay is very good" she whined to Alder like she is being wrong.
" she does not deserve your help " Alder replied glaring coldly at crystal.
Crystal continue eating her meals ignoring the two ,with Pearl still whining about helping her look for job.
"boss it ready" Alder personal assistant came in ,miss Williams he nodded at pearl ignoring Crystal.
" good morning,Mr Smith" crystal greeted him he stared at her briefly without replying.
" boss have prepared the car and what you requested for" .The three if them left the table ignoring her,she was already used to the treatment.Everyone looks down on her ,even the servants only her personal maid respect her.
" Alder would you accompany me to try out my dress for tonight? she heard pearl gentle voice. Even the public doesn't know about their marriage since she is considered a stain to him ,their three years of marriage already showed how much he despised her.
He considered her a gold digger,just like the rest of his family since she got married to him after she saved his grandmother at county side and his grandma forced him to marry her to show her appreciation,if not he would be married to his childhood sweetheart Pearl Williams who is a rich heiress fit enough for his status.
"are you done eating?" the harsh voice of a maid brought her back from her thought." if you are done, leave I need to clean this place," the maid said impatiently.
Crystal nodded leaving the dinner hall to her room.
At a coffee shop crystal dressed in plain black trouser and sweater that did nothing to hide her beauty and a black cap ,sat patiently waiting for someone.
Are you crystal?
crystal raised her head to stare at the hunk standing at her front, dressed in branded expensive clothes.
she asked " you are Alpha A right"
' what do you think '
The man grab the chair at her front to sit," I didn't expect you to be this pretty" he said checking her out hiding it.
" you are really fit for the industry,"
he pushed a thick envelope to her , while she placed a drive on the table.
"Alpha A you should check that out that a better version ,you would sure love it ".
Alpha A relaxed on his sit ,he smiled at her and said "I trust you ,you always deliver the best,and you know that".
' of course am good,you can't find anyone as good as me "
Alpha A took a slip from his coffee,he asked. " why don't I offer you a better deal?"
" what?''
"why don't I get you signed,you get to earn more that way"
' you want to sign me ? " , crystal asked in dis believe
Alpha A nodded," why ? ,we are working fine this way ,I mean like........I don't even know what to say ,are you gonna sign me to work exclusive only for you guys or you wanna make me and executive?"
" why are you asking like you don't know what I mean?,I wanna sign you as a artist under my record ".
crystal laughed and said " Artist under your record,like are you serious what made you think I want to become a artist?"
" common babe ,I came across your only fan account,and I must say you are a f*****g hot black Barbie. And you know it yourself,you are made for this "
" Are you now stalking me on net now ? " crystal asked with her voice sultry

' I know but....'
" you don't need to give me your answer now ,think about it ".he stood up " I would be in touch with you babe " he said walking out with a bouncer she didn't notice before opening the door for him.
she sat alone for sometimes thinking about what she wanna do before ordering for a cab to take her home since she is not allowed to take Alder cars out.
when she got home she met Alder at home which was new ," good afternoon" she greeted him but he ignores her as usual taking a slip from the cup of water a maid served him.
" mummy his back". she heard him say making her stop midway on the stairs.
" she wants to see you tomorrow night " she turned to look at him
" Ben would come pick you,make sure you dress well" he said eying her outfit
" ok " she nodded before going to her room.
she heard the sound of a car driving out,she shifted her curtain to see him driving out,she hissed then lied on her bed.Am so tire " what other thing do I need to sort ? " she said sitting up and picking up a journal from the desk beside the bed and ticking out some notes.
her phone rang ,she glanced at it to see the name H written,she picked up
