A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend An Attempt to Kill
Midas’ POV ‘What the hell is going on?’ I screamed as Crystal started struggling against the doctor's hold on her. ‘She is crashing; get everyone else out of here,’ The doctor barked. A nurse got hold of my wheelchair and then pulled me out of the room, not minding the fact that I was cursing seriously as she wheeled me into the hallway.‘You can't get out of the chair for now, Midas; please calm down,’ Edmond said as he came running down the hallway. He caught me just in time before I could stand on my feet and made me sit down again telling me repeatedly the disadvantages of standing up before the doctor gave the go-ahead ‘Shut up Edmond. The freaking doctor said Pearl was crashing. What the hell does that mean?’ I said. I was going out of my mind ‘What? Crashing? How is that possible? She was fine just now?’ Edmond said in surprise‘So did I think. She suddenly fell asleep, placing her head in an awkward position. I tried waking her, but she wouldn't wake, so I raised an alarm

Eric's POV ‘I do not appreciate you calling me like this. I have done all I can for you. What else do you want me to do?’ My mum said into the phone and I frowned. She had been receiving calls in secret ever since the night we saw Crystal again at the party. I didn't know who she was talking to but I knew that she was up to no good. We had been talking in the sitting room when her phone rang, and she had stood up, picked up her phone, and ran like her tail was on fire. I decided to follow her and listen in on her call. ‘If they did a shoddy job, that is none of my business. I want you to stop calling me, please. I don't want to be tangled up in a murder,’ Mum said gritting her teeth and whispering as low as she could under the circumstances. I walked in closer to her so that she could see me and she did exactly what I had thought that she would do. She immediately ended the call. ‘Oh! Eric, do you need anything?’ Mum asked looking as guilty as sin. ‘I don't need any

Crystal’s POV ‘That poor woman is going crazy, Midas. Please, I need to talk to her,’ I said to Midas angrily. I had been out of the hospital for days yet he was still acting all protective. My stepmom was not allowed into my hospital room until she threatened to break down the door, and when she was finally allowed in, Midas watched her like a hawk till she left. Midas had brought me to his house straight from the hospital despite the fact that my stepmom had said she was taking me with her as she didn't trust Midas’ security team to keep me safe. And since I got to his house, he had not allowed my stepmom to visit. ‘Does it look like I care if she is going crazy?’ Midas said. ‘That is not you talking Midas, that is your fear. That woman loves me and you know it,’ I said. ‘I am not saying she doesn't love you Pixie. All I am saying is that I don't trust her. Except for your father and I, she was the only person that came into your hospital room the day the chemical that w

Eric's POV I groaned as the pain in my head woke me, and I raised my head to massage the spot where it hurt, only for me to find a bandage wrapped around my head. ‘What?’ I said and opened my eyes, ‘What the hell is going on here?’ I asked groaning louder as I tried to sit up in bed. The door suddenly burst open and CC walked in. One look at me sitting up in bed, she sighed in relief. ‘Thank God you are awake. I am tired of babysitting already.’ ‘Babysitting who?’ I asked frowning. ‘You, of course, CC said, confusing me the more. ‘Why do you need to babysit me, CC?’ ‘You’ve been out for two days, Eric; you went clubbing and got all drunk, you vomited on yourself and hit your head after you alighted from the cab, mum found you unconscious outside with blood in your hair. The doctor said we must keep an eye on you in case you slip into a coma. Hence the babysitting,' CC explained. I held my head in pain as the memories of what happened before I passed out came back

Pearl(Crystal’s) POV I watched as Eric came into the room after Midas opened the door. I felt nothing but hatred for him. I never knew that I was capable of hating someone so much. Eric put me through hell, he made my life miserable. If Midas had not stepped in when he did, I would probably be dead by the time Eric noticed that he was in love with me. I was glaring at him with every painful memory of my time with him that flashed into my head. Eric was mean! When he said his mother was the one after my life, I was taken aback. I knew it was normal for her to be angry because I took a company she held dear from her but killing me would not give her the company back. ‘Why do you think your mother is after Pearl's life?’ Midas asked as we sat down. ‘I do not think, I know she is after your life because I caught her talking about it,’ Eric said. ‘Why do you think we will believe all you are saying, Eric? If you had your way, you would have killed me before now,’ I said, gla

Pearl(Crystal’s POV) ‘Be careful right there,’ Midas said as I stepped on nylon and nearly fell. He had to hold my shoulder to keep me from falling. ‘I just hope I won't regret coming here,’ I said as I held on to Midas' hands. When we had been planning to come to that place I was sure that I could pull it off but I was beginning to have mixed feelings. I had called the number on the envelope Edmond had found on the car. It was a woman who said she had information for me but she was too scared to venture out of her comfort zone. When she had sent the address, Midas and Edmond had vehemently stood against me going anywhere near there. ‘That is one of the most dangerous places in this town. If she indeed has useful information for you, she should come look for you,’ Edmond had insisted. ‘This might be a set up for all we know,’ Midas had said. ‘If the both of you put your heads together, you can come up with a plan to get me in and out of the place unscathed instead of

Pearl(Crystal’s) POV ‘Marilyn, you are back,’ June said and quickly cleaned her face as she got up. Marilyn looked at her mum and instantly knew something was wrong because she frowned. ‘Mama, have you been crying again,’ Marilyn asked sounding angry. ‘No baby. I am just happy to finally meet these people here,’ June said pulling Marilyn into the room properly. ‘Are you sure?’ Marilyn asked. ‘Yes. I am fine now that you are here,’ June said, trying to smile. Then she turned to us to introduce her daughter. ‘This is my daughter Marilyn, and this is Mr St Clair and Miss Rotman.' I saw the way Marilyn's eyes brightened again as she was introduced to Midas but it changed into an angry frown as June introduced me. ‘A Rotman? In this house mama, what are you thinking?’ Marilyn asked her mum then glared at me. ‘I come in peace, Marilyn,' I said, raising my hand in surrender. ‘You Rotmans are so full of shit. My mama went to see your mama and she was locked up for two day

Pearl’s (Crystal’s) POV ‘Are you okay?’ Edmond asked after he had driven for several minutes in silence. ‘No, I am not fine Edmond. I am worried sick. I am worried for Midas. I am worried for myself. I am worried because, after several failed attempts, this person might finally stop failing and get me killed. I am not fine at all,’ I said as angry tears fell down my face. ‘Whoever this person is, will keep failing till they are caught. Midas is ready to keep you safe forever, Pearl; just trust him,’ Edmond said. ‘That exactly is my fear. What if this person decides to get rid of Midas when they think he is an obstruction to getting me? Midas is the most important person in my life right now Edmond. If anything happens to him, I will be lost,’ I said in exasperation. ‘Nothing is going to happen to you or Midas. So relax and don't get yourself worked up,’ Edmond said and I nodded. It wasn't as if I felt relieved by what he said but I had to relax since there was nothing I co

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

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
