A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend Big Proposal
Pearl's (Crystal's) POV ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please can I have your attention?’ My Dad said from the podium just as the music went off and we all turned to face him. My stepmom stood beside him, hand in hand, smiling happily. When she caught my eyes, she winked, and I smiled at her; she was sometimes childlike in her way of showing happiness. There was silence in the hall before he continued speaking. ‘Thank you all so much for gracing this occasion. We, the Rotmans, are grateful for your presence here, whether you are a friend or colleague. In the mood of this beautiful occasion, my wife and I would like to formally introduce our beautiful daughter to you all. She is the CEO of Crystalized Pearl conglomerate. Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to you our beautiful and peace-loving daughter, Pearl Rotman,’ my dad said, pointing in my direction as the whole hall erupted with loud clapping. I couldn't help but blush as I went up the podium; I had not been in the presence of so m

Pearl's(Crystal's) POV There was total silence in the car as we drove home. Edmond rested his head on the couch, pretending to be asleep, while Mabel glared at him nonstop. If only he could open his eyes he would realize how I was glaring at him at that moment. The whole plan was to make him beg Mabel to accept him but he spoiled the whole plan by running into the arms of another woman. Such a foolish man! ‘You are going to drill a hole into his head if you continue staring at him like that,’ Midas said into my ears. ‘I wish I could use a bullet to drill a hole into his heart this very moment,’ I said back to Midas in a whisper, making him raise his brow in amusement. When we got to the house, Mabel stormed out of the car and went inside the house. I knew exactly what she was going to do. I wished at that moment that I could tell her that Edmond was not worth the tears but I knew she needed the space and the time alone. ‘I thought you were wise,’ I said to Edmond then

Crystal’s POV I sat in my office as I watched the television. It had been two weeks since we handed the evidence over to the agents, and just that morning, the media was on fire with the story of how the widow of the accused person involved in the killing of Rotman's child was reopening the case to clear her husband's name. June had called to thank me when the agents had contacted her. Marilyn also got the job she interviewed for in one of Midas’ companies. Eric was still being followed by a bodyguard at a distance just to be sure that he would be safe. He had called me several times, but I didn't pick up his call. There was nothing we had to talk about. I had sent him a text telling him to call Midas or Edmond if he needed anything. And once the case was over, I was going to sever every relationship with him. There was a knock on my office door bringing me back to the present. I asked the person to come in, and my stepmum playfully poked her head in. ‘Hey mum’ I greeted

Pearl’s (Crystal) POV I turned around in bed and stretched like a cat. It had been a very busy night the previous night. Midas had made sure that I was tired by the time he was through with me. He was so insatiable! ‘Wakey wakey,' Midas said as he walked into the room with a tray laden with food in his hands. He was ruggedly handsome as usual. Nothing on his face or body depicted how much he had been busy the night before which made me glare at him. ‘How is it possible that you look so cool after a night like that?’ I asked raising a brow at him. ‘That is because I am a king when it comes to the game,’ Midas said winking at me playfully. Midas gently placed the tray on the bedside table before turning to smile at me sheepishly. ‘Why are you staring at me like that?’ He asked ‘You are so beautiful,’ Midas said and I blushed. ‘Don't flatter me, Midas. My hair probably looks like a bird nest right now, and I probably look like…’ ‘You have been making love all night. L

Midas’ POV ‘You seem bothered, Midas. What is on your mind?’ Pearl asked as we drove to the Agent's station where Antonio was being held. It was evening already. Left to me, I would have postponed going there till the next morning, but Pearl insisted that we go that day unfailingly. Kendrick had called that they had taken Antonio in but it was not without ado. The moment he set his eyes on them coming towards him, he ran and they had to give him a chase. It took them over thirty minutes before he was captured. ‘Midas, what is it?’ Pearl asked again when I didn't answer her the first time ‘I have just been thinking about what Mabel said. Why would Antonio be as stupid as asking someone like that boy to do his dirty job for him?’ I said. ‘You heard agent Kendrick the other day? Antonio might be getting desperate for the job to be done,’ Pearl said. ‘It still bothers my mind. I hope Mabel is not right about us being distracted,’ I said. ‘Agent Kendrick said he ran. If he

Pearl's (Crystal) POV ‘Is Mr Conner around?’ I asked his secretary as I walked into his office. ‘Yes, ma'am. He just got back from a meeting,' his secretary replied, and I thanked her before going into the office. Eric's father stood from his chair the moment he saw me walk in. I immediately told him to sit down. There were dark circles under his eyes and he looked slimmer. ‘Have you been sleeping?’ I asked after we had both sat down. Eric's mother had been in FBI custody for a week and I knew that the poor man would be going through a rough patch. ‘How can I When my wife is in the FBI custody? All evidence is against her. And you know the most frustrating thing is that she has been my wife for this long and I barely know her.’ ‘I am sorry that you feel heartbroken right now,’ I said pitifully. He was a good man, but his choice of a wife is putting him in the wrong spot. ‘Heartbroken, you say? I feel so torn apart, so unhappy, so miserable, I don't even know which o

Midas’ POV I was driving back to my office with mild annoyance and worry. I had gone to Pearl's office to show my grievance with the fact that she knew about Karen and my grandfather’s relationship but decided to say nothing. But when Karen said she was ready to put her signature on whatever I wanted to be the terms and conditions for her relationship with my grandfather, I knew she was probably in love with him. I just couldn't bring myself to accept the fact that she was in love with my grandfather, a man twice her age. There were gold diggers everywhere and one can never be too careful. My behavior was getting on Pearl's nerves but I was just trying to protect my grandfather. He didn't deserve to be swindled by a young girl at his age, but with everything Karen had said, I couldn't allow him to choose to please me over his own happiness. All I had to do was keep an eye on Karen. My phone rang bringing me out of my thoughts. I frowned when I saw that it was Pearl's office

Midas' POV ‘Hey, you aren't sleeping?’ Pearl's voice brought me out of my reverie. ‘Babe. I just woke up,' I said then kissed her lightly on the lips. I had made sure she didn't leave the room since we returned. I had made sure that she had her dinner in bed and gone to sleep after that but I couldn't sleep. I dosed a little then woke up and couldn't go back to sleep. ‘What woke you up? It is just two o'clock am?’ Pearl asked then sat up. ‘I didn't tell you something in the afternoon.' ‘What didn't you tell me?’ ‘Agent Kendrick called.’ ‘And?’ ‘He said they ran the blood through the database, and it is Aunt Cleo’s blood,' I said. ‘What? What kind of a crazy move is that?’ Pearl asked voicing the exact question that was on my mind. ‘That is exactly what I thought. Was she so confident that you wouldn't call the police or is she being set up?’ I voiced my doubt out loud. ‘If she is being set up, how did the person get her blood?’ ‘That was what I tho

Pearl's (Crystal's) POV ‘I still feel embarrassed about the fact that my grandfather is getting married,’ Midas grumbled beside me as he came to sit, and I laughed, making people close to us glance our way. We were in the garden of his grandfather's house in Paris. Midas had not wanted the outdoor wedding. He had said his grandfather and Karen should just go to the registry, sign the wedding, and be done with it, but his grandfather had insisted on having an outdoor wedding. ‘What are you so uptight about Midas?’ I asked smiling teasingly at him. ‘Getting married at his age and making a hell of a noise about it. He is getting married to a lady half his age, for Christ's sake,’ Midas said, gritting his teeth. ‘I thought you were already used to that idea,’ I said. ‘Yes. But the idea of getting married this way totally takes a whole lot of getting used to,’ Midas said ‘Look at him Midas. He is happy,’ I said pointing at Midas’ grandfather where he stood before the officia

Six months later Pearl's (Crystal's) POV ‘The auction is about to start, ma'am,’ one of my staff came to the backstage and said to me. ‘Yeah. We are set,’ I said casting another glance over our model. My company was having an auction for our latest jewelry designs. Designs I had made myself during the most depressing month of my life. Midas wasn't joking when he said he was breaking things off with me. He cut off all contact with me and returned to his main office in Paris while he left Edmond in charge of everything in Roseville. I tried to contact him several times to no avail. I went as far as traveling to France, but I was told he had gone to London for a business meeting. I went to his grandfather for help, but the older St Clair only pointed out that he had talked to Midas about his decision, but he doubted that Midas was going to bulge. During the hearing of the case of attempted murder and murder that my stepmom and her cohort were charged with, Midas di
A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend Pain of Loss
Pearl (Crystal’s POV) ‘I still can't believe that your adoptive sister was a part of your kidnap,’ Karen said as she replaced the lid of the bottle she was pouring water from. I was back in the hospital for loss of blood and malnutrition. Two days after I was kidnapped, I started spotting and it got worse. I was practically bleeding by the time the police arrived the day I was rescued. ‘According to her, I made her father's company sink along with the Conners, so she was doing everything she could for money,’ I said, hissing. ‘The Martins are horrible people,’ my grandmother said. She has been in the hospital with me since I was rescued. No matter what everyone said, she refused to leave. Midas made sure I was in a private ward so that a bed could be moved into my room for his comfort. ‘Mrs Martins called me telling me to remember everything her husband has done for me and drop the case immediately. I simply told her that I had no power over the case. She can call the pol
A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend The Rescue
Midas’ POV ‘I can't sign these damn papers. What does she think she is doing? How does she intend to get away with this?’ Mr Rotman said fuming as she paced Agent Kendrick's office. ‘Left to me? I will ask that we keep quiet. They wouldn't understand what we are up to. That will confuse them,’ Agent Thomas said. ‘We can't just decide to say or do nothing. They can harm her,’ I said in frustration. It has been three days since Pearl's stepmother took her from my house. The only thing we heard from them was the documents delivered to her father's house the previous day, accompanied by a letter demanding that he should sign his properties and businesses to his wife within the next twenty-four hours or lose his daughter. We have searched so hard and we had less than five hours to the end of the ultimatum. We had paid media houses to announce that anyone who provided useful information would be greatly rewarded. ‘How did I not see beyond the facade my wife put to the front? I am
A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend Betrayal
Pearl’s (Crystal's) POV I didn't have a choice but to let Midas leave. Whatever Agent Kendrick called him for must be very important. I sighed and lay on the bed. I wondered what Midas was about to say before his phone rang. What could he be hiding from me? I got out of bed to get an answer from Karen; at least she was there all through my stay at the hospital. I got up but stopped just before I turned the knob. I changed my mind and went back to sit on the bed. I decided that I would wait till Midas returned so that he could tell me himself. I didn't know for how long I was sitting on the edge of the bed browsing through my phone, but the door suddenly burst open, and my stepmom walked in looking as if she was nervous. ‘Mum, is anything the matter? You look nervous,’ I said. ‘Why won't I be nervous? I was half expecting your self-acclaimed husband to stop me from seeing you,’ she said, walking into the room properly and closing the door behind her. ‘You know he wou

Midas’ POV ‘You won't believe it, grandma. Midas was in the arms of another woman when I woke up,’ Pearl said, glaring at me while I smiled at her, making her glare harder. ‘I was the one, Pearl; stop being dramatic,’ Karen said as she placed the tea cup in front of Pearl. We were back in the house. Pearl was discharged three days after she woke up. Her vitals were fine and the doctor didn't see any reason why she should not be discharged. And the best news was that she had remembered everything. Pearl kept saying I was declaring my love to another woman who ran out the moment she realized she was awake. Karen had tried telling her that she was the one Pearl saw but Pearl kept insisting that Karen wasn't the one. ‘Eat your food and use your drugs, miss. I was talking to Karen, and you know II, but you are just trying to punish me for something I don't know,’ I said, I was inking at her playfully. ‘I am not eating, and I am not using my drugs until you confess to your
A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend She is Back
Midas’ POV ‘We might be having something massive on our hands right now,’ Agent Kendrick said. I was in the office to see him because he called about the things he observed at the Rotman's mansion. ‘What do you mean?’ I asked frowning. ‘All the security cameras in the Rotman mansion have not been working for two days before the incident. So there were no recordings on the CCTV tapes,’ Agent Kendrick said. ‘How was that possible?’ I asked. ‘Now here is the real deal, one of the house helps put Mr Martins at the scene on the day of the incident.’ ‘What? Mr Martins? Pearl's adoptive father?’ I was surprised. ‘The same,’ Agent Kendrick answered. ‘What was he doing there?’ ‘Apparently, it was not his first time coming there. According to the help, he comes only when Mr Rotman was away on a business trip and the madam always made him come through the back gate.’ ‘That means they are having affairs apparently,’ I said thoughtfully. ‘But Mr Rotman was around that day.

Pearl’s (Crystal's) POV I watched in dread as Eric came into my hospital room. He had never done that before. Each time I landed in the hospital, he jetted away somewhere and would not come back until I left the hospital. ‘Hello darling,’ Eric said and I frowned. Since when did he call me that? What happened to whore, slut, fool, idiot, and the other names he could come up with according to his mood. ‘Hi,’ I stammered. ‘The doctor said I could come in. Where is Karen?’ He asked. ‘She went to get me fruits,’ I answered him in bewilderment. Eric sat on the bed, and I would have moved away from him, but I was too scared. I didn't want to be battered again with the pains I was already going through. I was sitting with my back propped on the pillow. ‘I brought you this,’ Eric said handing the bag he brought with him to me. I collected it and thanked him. ‘Aren't you going to look inside?’ Eric asked smiling at me. ‘No. I will do that later,’ I said. ‘Okay then. So ho
A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend Playing Along
Midas’ POV ‘What is going on doctor?’ I asked the moment the door closed. ‘I think we should have this talk in my office,’ the doctor said and we all followed him into his office. The doctor sat down and then sighed heavily. We quickly sat anywhere we could. The doctor looked worried making my insides tighten. ‘Doctor, what exactly is going on?’ I asked once we had all settled down. ‘At the look of things, I think she has amnesia,’ the doctor said. ‘Amnesia? What is that?’ Karen asked looking confused. ‘Amnesia is a post-traumatic condition that makes you forget things, and in the case of Miss Rotman, I think it is partial amnesia,’ the doctor explained. ‘Which means it could be worse,’ Pearl's stepmum asked. ‘Yes. Now, she has only forgotten a part of her life. Some people forget everything including their names. Her fall was quite fatal, so it is expected to happen,' the doctor said making my insides tighter. ‘If she forgot who she is in recent times then she
