It was a dark night at Collinwood, Crystal heard a voice of a man and couldn't remember who's voice it was in the drawing room with Cassandra. Nicholas heard Crystal's footsteps and grabbed her throat. He looked into Crystal's blue eyes then let go of her neck, and he walked back to Cassandra. Nicholas, then walked right out of the room.
"Crystal are you alright? did he hurt you? why he didn't kill you? Do you two know each other?" asked Cassandra with a rush.
Crystal then ran out of the room to catch up to him. Nicholas was standing right outside the door. Nicholas grabbed a hold of Crystal's wrist. Crystal tried to scream, but then he used his other hand to cover her mouth, so no one could hear her. Nicholas, then pulled Crystal into the drawing room again. Cassandra ran to Crystal but then Nicholas moved Crystal away from her then the older woman began to cry.
"STOP YOUR CRYING NOW I'M NOT GOING TO HURT HER! she is no threat to us so there's no need to kill her. Now go outside and calm yourself down before i really make you cry. got me." Nicholas said to Cassandra.
Cassandra nodded and went out the front door. Nicholas, then let go of Crystal's arm and removed his hand. Crystal wanted to run out but her body wouldn't let her. Nicholas looked like he had no hatred for crystal but his eyes looked unfriendly.
"As for you Crystal, I'm very sorry for choking you. I hope you can forgive me." then Nicholas walked out of the room. Crystal felt something for Nicholas that felt tingly. All of a sudden roger came into the drawing room.
"How are you crystal? have you seen my wife anywhere, if you have then tell me so I can stop worrying about her." said roger.
crystal nodded then walked off. Crystal stopped and realized that the feeling that she had was love. Crystal couldn't believe she was in love with Nicholas, but her heart kept telling her that Nicholas is the one. Nicholas was outside the door. Crystal walked upstairs and looked back at Nicholas then Crystal shook her head then went to her room. crystal got into bed then soon she fell into a deep sleep.
