"How did you find me?" Pearl dared to speak tremblingly. Taggart's hand quickly grabbed the back of Pearl's neck, causing her to gasp. His eyes widened in surprise. Taggart's face was so close to him.
"I will chase you to the ends of the world, Doll. You are mine. So don't elude me, or I will destroy your world with my hands." Taggart growled his threat with a slight huff from his nose. The air was warm and minty. His hot, sexy persona made Pearl blush hard. Her crimson cheeks were so adorable to see. Yet, her mouth spoke differently.
"I will never submit myself to you," Pearl spoke with the rest of her bravery. Taggart wouldn't spare her life this time, and she knew it. Suddenly, Pearl closed her eyes tightly. She scared him so much that he would hit her. For some seconds, nothing occurred. Instead, Taggart put his hand to move some strands of her hair gently. Pearl realised his smoothness towards her. When she opened her eyes, Taggart kept his distance closer.
Damian paced when he didn’t find Pearl once he was home. He yelled to all the guards who let Taggart leave with Pearl and did nothing to avert him.“You all fucking stupid! Such a moron. How could you let her leave?” Damian yelled raggedly. He lasted his anger and hit the guards. Damian couldn’t control his anger towards them.“We are sorry, Sir. But Mr. Taggart came, and he took the lady,” Damian pointed quickly with a flame of anger in his eyes.“And you stupidly let that happen?” He yelled more. The guards were silenced. They were in a difficult situation with Taggart and Damian on different sides.“Fuck, Taggart! You think you’re going to win this, huh!” he gritted annoyingly.Damian walked out of the house and said nothing anymore. He lost the chance to make Pearl his own. Taggart was still going to be an enormous challenge in his life. Matthew called him on his way to Taggart&r
Due to the lack of sleep, Pearl stayed early in the morning. She decided to go to work because she remembered that Taggart would come. Nevertheless, she prepared herself with the formal attire like she used to."Are you going to work?" Keith said as he sat next to Pearl at the dining table. Pearl sighed somberly. She shrugged her shoulder."I can't even sleep last night." She murmured. Keith caressed her back to soothe her, although there was nothing in his mind to help his sister."Why don't you talk to him? He would listen." Keith gave his opinion."I tried. It didn't work. He forced me to marry him because"Suddenly, there were knocks on the door that startled them. Pearl quickly turned pale and flat. She glanced at Keith, who was worried about the same thing."Let me open it, " he said. Keith walked to the door and then opened it. Taggart Kellent had arrived with his cold, expressionless emotion all the time. Keith also didn't put his sm
Pearl quickly walked to her room and then sat on her working chair. After successfully escaping from Taggart, she exhaled deeply. For the first time, Taggart accepted her request to cover their relationship until they got engaged. Despite considering wedding withdrawal, Pearl needed to take charge now."Oh, my God. Please save me. Please buy me some time. I don't want to get married now," she murmured, praying more."Pearl, are you coming?" Pearl startled and quickly raised her head. She put on a smile and then nodded. Her colleagues arrived and asked about her condition. She must portray that she is okay."Yeah. Thank you for helping me get to the hospital," Pearl replied. Her colleagues frowned and stared at each other."What do you say?" one of them replied."Ms. Rosenthal, wonderful to have you back. How are you doing now?" The manager suddenly arrived and asked her the same thing. Pearl responded in the same manner and greeted everyone.
Pearl gasped in surprise. Quickly, she pushed Taggart to let her off. Taggart was about to kiss and bite her beautiful neck. Suddenly, he stopped."What are you doing, sir?" Pearl squeaked, still rejecting Taggart with a shocked expression. Taggart continued to tilt his face, and his eyes remained unblinking. Pearl noticed that his orb seemed to enlarge."I own you. So I can do anything to you." Taggart groaned softly, making Pearl widen her eyes. She attempted to rise from Taggart's lap, but he grabbed her waist instead."Ah, let me go!" Pearl shrieked and struggled. Taggart still hasn't let go of her at all. He tightened his grip on hers. Pearl is terrified when Taggart approaches and then kisses her cheek. That's when Pearl stopped wiggling."What do you think?" Pearl turned slowly to Taggart. She was still scared to see him. Taggart's handheld Pearl's jaw so that her face was facing him. Taggart's thumb tip gently stroked her lips and trailed down her
Damian couldn't sit and wait for a miracle to come. He couldn't concentrate on his work after thinking about how Taggart would marry Pearl without resistance. He was also the CEO of The Bronk Corporation. However, he was in a distinct line of industry compared to Excellor. After he acknowledged Pearl, Damian changed his mind to do business expansion. "Damn, I must have to find a way out!" he grumbled in annoyance. Pearl had stolen his mind, although he didn't want to admit it. He threw off his pen before taking his phone to call Alonzo. He didn't pick up the phone."What the hell! Where the fuck is he?"Damian couldn't stand it anymore. He directly and then walked out of the room. He'd better see Alonzo at his nightclub. Damian must put his thoughts out of Pearl or think about something else to get her. He drove to The Zephyr nightclub alone to see Alonzo. Getting VIP access to see the nightclub owner was easy for him. He wandered a moment before a waiter came to
Damian quickly tackled the thrives to the ground once he braked. The thieves tried to defend themselves, but Damian kicked and punched them faster. His motions were accurate. Even faster than humans. When he pushes one of them, they will be blown away hard. They fainted on the street, and Damian stood arrogantly on the side of it. He took Pearl’s shoulder bag and then patted it.Damian then looked behind. He saw Pearl was hit and hurt. He arrived at her side after a fast run. Damian quickly bends to take Pearl, half lying on the sidewalk. Two men helped her.“Are you okay?” Pearl widened her eyes over him and was startled.“Damian?” she murmured to call. Damian put his calm, friendly expression.“Are you okay?” he asked while taking her hand. He helped her stand. “Let me take care of her. She’s my friend,” Damian said to the men who helped Pearl stand. The men nodded and then went away, leaving Pearl with Damian.“This is your bag.” Damian handed Pearl her bag. Pearl widely smiled an
One of the zetas called Taggart and reported that he saw his girl with Damian. Pearl experienced the incident on her way home, and Damian assisted. When Taggart heard it, he rushed from the factory to his room. As he left Pearl on the couch, he yelled at her. Now, he betrays his innocent secretary. As quickly as he attempted to capture her, she escaped."Damn it!" Taggart cursed in the lobby when he couldn't find Pearl. Given that she left about an hour prior, it was an impossibility.He grumbled to Everest, "Where is she?" On the street, Everest was still communicating with some Zetas. They'd have to search for Pearl."Just give me some time!" Everest told impatient Taggart. Taggart growled irritably, urging him to wait for Everest. Everest had to find Pearl with all the Zetas and some Epsilons.Billy Anderson also returned to the dressing room at that moment, but Pearl had disappeared. He went with Louis Durrant, the chief of medicine. Louis was also pe
Taggart didn't waste his time. After discovering Damian's plan, he dashed to look for Pearl. Damian was untrusted, and Taggart worried he would hurt Pearl."I will blow his head this time!" Taggart annoyingly gritted by clenching his fist. He couldn't control himself anymore."Please control yourself, sir. I know you will blow his head, but it is not the right time!" Everest talked to calm his boss. Now, Taggart could change into his form once he saw Damian and killed him mercilessly."We will find them,""This time, I wouldn't spare anything." He growled. Everest only nodded, saying nothing more. The part of Taggart getting rage, none would be dared to be on his way.Taggart preferred his search to Matthew Bronckhorst instead of Pearl's house. He would never let that family into his wedding plan. The Bronckhorst was the first on the list to do that."Are you sure she's here?" Everest straightly asked once they arrived at the parking l
After several attempts to call him, Doctor Louis Durrant got John Rosenthal’s address, but it didn’t work well. He came on dinner time alone. As he walked through the front yard, he was thinking of something. He sighed when he took his best shot today. Hopefully, there’s something he would achieve.After the front bell rang, the door opened in seconds. An average woman opened the door and saw someone she barely knew. She winched her eyes to him. Doctor Louis gave out his friendly smile before speaking.“I’m looking for John Rosenthal. My name is Louis Durrant.” He introduced himself.Sandra still frowned with her suspicious stare at Louis. She recalled all of her husband’s friends. Yet she didn’t put on her smile.“Who are you? You are not my husband’s friend.” She put her right hand on the hip. Louis lightly chuckled and nodded.“I’m a doctor at St. Elizabeth. I need to speak to your husband. Is he home?”Sandra was slightly startled, though she still expressed her dislike flatly. Lo
Damian was overjoyed to hear from Simon that Bruce had changed his mind about Taggart's wedding. He had the phone call and then chuckled lightly.“That’s excellent news. It's not because of that if I got eager. I mean, for his sake, Uncle Sim.” Damian could cope and blurted his laugh. He nodded excitedly.“I understand you mean well towards your brother.”“Of course.” Damian grinned to hear the praise coming from his act.“The wedding is so important for our pack, and I cannot let someone from the lowest rank take the place,” Simon added to his arrogance. Damian kept the man ranting about purging Pearl from Taggart. Once the rumour finds the right place, Damian can eliminate Taggart. He didn’t have to steal Pearl’s heart. Eventually, Taggart would never be an Alpha once he had no mate.“I believe so.”“When Taggart couldn’t marry the girl, you could help him find the better one.” Damian kept his grin.“Yes, Uncle Sim. I’ll let you know about it.”Damian ended the call and then laughed
Taggart was pissed now as he heard that his father. All of a sudden, Bruce postponed Taggart’s wedding. He vigorously walked to Bruce’s office to see him.“Dad!” As always, Taggart mentioned his dad when he saw him working in his room.“Have a seat, Tagg,”“No need. What are you doing canceling my wedding!” He talked fiercely while walking closer to the desk. Bruce stayed calm. He didn’t want to provoke Taggart.“Have a seat. I have the explanation,” Bruce told him once more. He stressed the word that made Taggart finally pull a chair and sit in front of him. He kept the tense.“What is the reason? You told me that I should have my wedding soon,” Taggart said impatiently to confront.“That’s before I know the risk. I need to talk to you to reconsider about it.” Bruce quickly confirmed. Taggart showed his deep frown. He tilted his head, looking at his father sharply.“What do you mean?”Bruce took a deep sigh. He put his seriousness and sharp gazed at Taggart. He couldn’t take it, but
Today, Pearl's department has a new manager to come. He was a handsome man with a warm smile upon everyone."Hi, everyone. I am Luke Damant. I am happy to see you are all here to support the design department. I hope we can stay as a strong team in the future," said Luke, introducing himself as a new manager. Like everyone else, Pearl clapped and smiled at him. Luke looked charismatic and appealing. His appearance has impressed the women's staff, including interns. They looked interested in him."I would like to see the interns first. Would you all come with me to my office?" Luke smiled at all the staff without seeing Pearl. He walked to his office in the side room and opened the door widely to the interns who followed. Pearl was the last one who came in."Thank you for all your attention towards the work recently. I am confident you will have a successful time during your internship program. Starting today, I will be your supervisor and your boss. Any question
Simon Rousey had his breakfast meeting with Bruce Kellent for his business. He wanted to discuss Taggart's mate's choice more. The business deal had gone well before; now, it's time for him to discuss personal matters."Bruce, I heard some elders talk about your next future in law. Taggart has found his mate. Thus, he is ready for the initiation," Simon said after taking a sip of tea. Bruce smiled and then glanced back at Simon."He's ready to lead the pack, Simon," Bruce added with pride towards his son. Simon also smiled without nodding."Have you seen the lady?" Bruce nodded with his pursed lips. He still looked confident."I heard that she's only a girl, with no wolf soul or blood of a royal. That's what they say. Is that true?"Bruce's smile had faded, and he started to look tense. Without making a justification, Bruce straightened his back, staring at Simon thoughtfully."That's why he has to turn her into one of our kind, Simon. The wedding will be during the mating season in t
Boringly, Pearl laid down on the empty, lavish, comfortable king-size bed. She stared blankly on one side while gently twisting the edge of her pillow cover. She was not keen on running away again after her fight with Taggart. Until, in the middle of the night, the bedroom door squeaked and slowly opened. Pearl startled and then turned to widen her eyes. Taggart stepped in limping. He drank a lot since he couldn’t keep thinking about Pearl.Pearl sat on the bed watching Taggart, half-dragged his feet, and threw himself next to her. She was stunned and frozen, perplexed about the situation. Taggart then chuckled oddly. His behavior was both humorous and perplexing.“Hey, lady. Ah, why are you so grumpy with me?” Taggart whimpered while touching Pearl’s cheek with his fingers. His hand then only lay on the bed because he was too drunk even to lift it.“What happened to you?” Pearl gently asked. Her soothing voice made him comfortable. He smiled and then glanced with his eyes half-opened
“Our Taggart has royal blood in him. he shouldn’t marry someone with mud blood, right Uncle? What will the vampire clan say about the wedding when they discover it?” Damian was slowly releasing his dangerous provocation against Taggart. He manipulates Simon to reclaim his support for Taggart’s mate and initiation. Simultaneously, Simon was thoughtfully considered about Damian’s words.“I’m not ranting, Uncle. I don’t want you to misunderstand me. You know so well, right?” Damian added to show his willingness. Simon smiled and then nodded.“I know. You are such a favorable young wolf full of potential, Damian. Your admission about it made me think something. Taggart might make a mistake, but he should explain it. I mean, he found a mate after all this time. He faced a hard time, especially after we lost the queen, his mom. Taggart should find a mate to support him.” Simon's long explanation had brought a smile to Damian. He nodded agreeably. “I agree with you. Therefore, he must find
The entire way home, Pearl wept silently but suppressed any sobs or squeaks from her tears. Meanwhile, Taggart began to soften as a result of her sobbing.“Stop crying,” he murmured.Taggart wanted to stop the car and persuade Pearl to stop crying, but he hesitated. Watching a girl cry due to her forced departure was a strange experience for him.“Do you love that family? You’d better not respect them.” Taggart sounded annoyed when he talked about Rosenthal. Pearl sulkily turned to Taggart. She was not pleased with the way Taggart had treated her family. It was so rude and heartless."What do you mean? I love my family. But you took me away from them.” Pearl shook her soft voice against Taggart, who was still driving. Taggart turned to the right and snorted sarcastically. He shook his head slightly, feeling an irritate coming on. Pearl made him think harder than he would for any other girl."If you knew the truth, you would regret it." Taggart cursed a little in annoyance. His voice w
John did not presently welcome Taggart, who had arrived. He frowned when he saw Pearl's future husband looking at him cynically.“Good evening, Mr. Taggart,” John said hello and tried to be friendly. Taggart smirked, not intending to reciprocate. He was not going to be pleasant. Ever since he learned about Pearl, he has harbored a deep-seated anger toward his next father-in-law. John was making up stories to fib about."Where's Pearl?" Taggart inquired coldly. It doesn't seem friendly, but Taggart is like that.“What are you looking for her? It is late." Taggart chuckled, still in his sarcasm."Seriously?" he asked, seeming to mock them up. Keith glared disapprovingly. He stepped forward to lunge at Taggart. John quickly grabbed his shoulders. In the meantime, Taggart was still casually looking at Keith and John without moving. He didn't care if he had to break in with violence.“Please don't intrude Pearl. She is resting.&r
