Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Parks nodded and said, "I\'m on it." He had no idea what had happened between James and Nathan, so he got up and went around the desk. Before he could get to Crystal, though, Nathan stepped in, grabbed his arm, twisted it, and forced him to the ground. Then Nathan kicked him in the head, and he lost consciousness as he fell to the ground.

By the time Parks woke up, the Power Couple had left the room. This is what happened, though, while he was unconscious. Crystal grabbed the woman by the hair, yanked her head back, and slapped her hard against the face. "told you to attack me?" she demanded..

The woman refused to tell, so Crystal hit her again and repeated the question. "Who told you to attack me?" The woman refused to answer, so Crystal slapped her again until the woman told Crystal everything she knew, which, in the end, turned out to be very little.

When Officer Parks woke up, the woman was the first person he saw, and he hardly recognized her. The woman\'s face was red, bruised, and blotchy. Her hair was tangled, and there were small bald patches where her scalp could be seen. She had a bloody nose, a fat lip, and two black eyes. "Oh, my God," he muttered. "What the hell happened to you?"

By the time Nathan and Crystal emerged from the Interrogation Room, Chief Oskin had returned to his station, and James was with him. When James saw them, he stood up and said, "Miss Smith, I failed to recognize you. I\'ve wronged you. I\'ll send someone to open the presidential suite at the five-star hotel next to the police station, and you can freshen up there. Then, when you are more comfortable, you can get even with me at your leisure. What do you think?" James\'s voice quivered as he said this.

With Nathan\'s influence, he could destroy this police station with the wave of his hand, destroying the careers of every officer that worked there, so he was worth sucking up to. Furthermore, from the way Nathan moved his troops around at random, everyone could see that this was only a fraction of his strength. Thus, no one dared to offend him or get in his way on purpose, and it was a fool who did so by mistake.

Crystal held out her hand and said, "Give me my cell phone. Now!"

James flinched at the sound of Crystal\'s voice. Then he went to his knees in front of her, laid his hands on the ground, and said, "I am sorry for taking your phone. Please forgive me for my stupid behavior. You can step on my hands if you\'d like."

Crystal sighed and said, "I just want my phone back. Once the recording on it is uploaded to YouTube, it will prove my innocence."

James stood up and said, "I\'ll get it right away."

Once James was gone, Crystal whispered into Nathan\'s ears. "I am filthy," she said. "Doesn\'t that bother you?"

Nathan smiled, kissed Crystal on the lips, and he whispered back: "When I am with you, I am filled with a joy that is so powerful that nothing about you could ever bother me. Anyway, if I thought you were filthy, I wouldn\'t have hugged you or kissed you."

Crystal sighed and said. "Thank you. I will repay you for your kindness."

Nathan smiled and said, "Well... I\'m looking forward to it."

As they parted, Crystal said, "Can\'t you get someone to buy me a thousand eggs?"

Nathan: "A thousand eggs? What for?"

Crystal pointed towards the Interrogation Room and said, "For her!"

Nathan paused, and then he ordered one of his men to buy the eggs. Then he turned back to Crystal and said, "There isn\'t anything that I wouldn\'t buy for you, and I would do anything to make you happy."

Crystal and Nathan waited until the eggs arrived, and she had them stacked outside the Interrogation Room. Meanwhile, the woman in the room tried to hide under the table, and Officer Parks ran out of the room like a scared child.

Crystal grabbed two eggs, one for each hand, and she walked into the room. Then she went to the front of the table, pushed the chair away, kicked the woman, and said, "Come on, out with you!"

When the woman refused to come out, Crystal winked at Nathan, and he dragged her out. He made her stand at attention in front of Crystal, and he asked her, "What have you done that you shouldn\'t have?"

The woman frowned and said, "When I was approached anonymously and offered money to make that boy throw those eggs at her, I shouldn\'t have said yes. I shouldn\'t have done it. I see that now, and I\'m awfully sorry."

Nathan: "And? What else?"

"I shouldn\'t have incited those people to beat and scold her," the woman replied.

Nathan: "And? What else?"

The woman began to cry. "I don\'t know what else," she whined. "Please. Look at me. Don\'t you think you\'ve done enough?"

Crystal slapped the woman and said, "Don\'t presume to tell me when I\'ve done enough!"

"What did I do?" the woman wailed. "Or what shouldn\'t I have done? I don\'t understand... Just, please... tell me!"

"You shouldn\'t have wasted those eggs," Crystal said. "Didn\'t your parents teach you that it is a sin to waste food? Eggs are food, not weapons." Crystal grinned, daring the woman to contradict her.

"I\'ll never do it again," the woman promised. "What do you want from me?"

Crystal sighed and said, "I think you need to learn a lesson about the difference between food and weapons. To teach you that lesson, I\'ve had a thousand eggs delivered to the station. I am sure that by the time you\'ve eaten every last one of them, you\'ll have learned your lesson."

When the woman heard this, her face turned a sickish pale shade of green. "No...," she gasped. "You wouldn\'t..."

Crystal smirked and said, "Well, but I will…"
