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

    Two Weeks Later Crystal’s POV The knock on my door startled me and I jumped. The door opened and my dad peeked in. He became worried and quickly entered the room when he saw that I was holding my chest. ‘Hey, are you okay?’ He asked coming to my side to place a hand on my shoulder. I got out of my chair and embraced him then burst into tears. ‘What is it, baby? Talk to Daddy,’ Dad said as he rubbed my back in circles. ‘I am so scared, Daddy. I am so scared that someone is just going to pull the trigger, and I will be bleeding on the floor in a second,’ I sobbed. Dad sighed sadly then stepped back from the embrace. He took me to the sofa and made me sit down. He gave me his handkerchief and allowed me to cry some more. ‘I am sorry that you feel this way, princess. I wish that there is something I can do to make you feel safe. You can come home with me if it will make you feel better,’ Dad offered. ‘No, I can't. The only time I feel safe is when I am with Midas. For

    Midas’ POV All I could see was blood, a lot of blood and I knew it was coming from Pearl. I couldn't stop wondering why there was that much blood coming from her. I saw the moment she hit the floor and my entire world stopped at that moment. The moment of running from where I was to the foot of the stairs was the most torturous moment of my life. I felt as if I wasn't moving far enough. I took hold of her neck and lifted her head as she pointed towards the stairs. Her father raced back for his phone while I tried to keep her awake. I screamed like a madman the moment her eyes closed. ‘Don’t move her,’ her stepmother shouted at me, seeing that I wanted to carry her. ‘We can't just stay here like this and watch her bleed to death,’ I said to her in anger. ‘We might move her the wrong way and harm her the more,’ her stepmother argued. ‘The paramedics are on their way,’ her father said returning to her side. One of her legs was bent back as if it was disconnected and was

  • A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend    Awake to Confusion

    Pearl's (Crystal) POV I had tried several times to open my eyes to no avail. Each time I tried harder, it seemed my head hurt badly, and I couldn't raise my hand to touch my head. I felt so helpless surrounded by nothing but total darkness. I soon became too lazy to try to open my eyes so I just allowed the darkness to pull me back under each time I became conscious of my environment. Sometimes I could hear people talking but a particular voice stuck with me. The voice kept begging me to wake up with a lot of pain in it. I tried several times to open my eyes and explain to the person that I was tired, and I didn't want to wake up, but I was even too lazy to do that. So I just listened to the voice till I fell back into oblivion. Suddenly, I became weary of the darkness, and I wanted some light. I felt a searing pain in my stomach one more time and I groaned. ‘She is awake,' somebody shouted, and I heard a door shut, making me wince as the noise made my head hurt badly. T

    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

    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

    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.

    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

    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

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

    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

    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

    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
