PEARL’S POV~

The bright light struck my eyes and I squinted, i raised my hand to my eyes to deflect the rays of the light before slowly getting up.

What happened, I'd dreamed that Nico saved me, again.

“Slowly, you hit your head pretty badly” I heard his voice, I turned immediately, “Nico” I called.

He came and sat beside me, “are you alright?” he asked, raising me.

I felt the soft wind blow against my face as we slowly came to, I looked around.

The boat was moving on the water, I sighed, it wasnt a dream after all.

But Kira…. Hunter had taken her right leg and he made me watch.

I burst into tears.

“Are you okay Pearl?” he asked taking my hand, I nodded and touched his face softly, “if you hadn't come when you did” I mentioned before shaking away the thoughts from my head.

“Im sorry you had to go through all that, rich people can be assholes can't they, I thought Logan had held you captive on that island but the Asian lady was kind enough to explain,” he said.

“She’s alive?” I asked,

    NICO’S POV~Leave a life of crime? No sweet girl I can't do that, that’s all I live for, but im not going to tell her that.“How are you so calm knowing they did that to Sophia?” she asked, and that question got to me.As she raved on and on about how my lifestyle was endangering my daughter all I wanted to do was lift the weird cloth she had on and fuck her right there.“Fine,” I said stopping her, “fine?” she retorted.I nodded, “no more crimes”“I mean it Nico, I can't keep getting wrapped up in the wars you create with enemies I've never met in my life, whatever you and my ex-husband are fighting about, whatever messed up money shit you have tied me to I want out of it, for Sophie’s sake, if I die there goes her chance for survival” she chided.I hated to admit it but she was right, this war between Logan and I wasnt ending soon, he started it and I'll make sure I'll finish it with a bang.“I promise, no more life of crime, im just going to be a plain businessman now and that’s wh

    PEARL’S POV~Someone was shooting at us, I ducked, my heart beating out of place as I thought of who I'd save.Kira unconscious on the floor who I've surprisingly grown extra fond of, or the man who risked his neck to save me.I saw Lorenzo and the other men rush up the stairs and soon they returned fire, I looked on the horizon to see there was another boat chasing after us.“Who the hell is that!” I heard Lorenzo ask, “I dont know, but Nico fell over!” I cried.Lorenzo didnt waste any time jumping into the water, he didnt resurface for a while and when he did he was alone.“Where is Nico!” I asked, he shook his head and dived back in, I heard Kira slowly start to come to.“What’s going on?” she asked slowly as she reached for me, “you fell, we need to get you to a hospital before you bleed out” I replied, and she nodded.“But for now I need you to go below, some people are after us and we have no idea who they are” She nodded again and soon I'd taken her below deck.I ran back up to

  • His Secret Obsession   A LITTLE TASTE OF WARMTH

    PEARL’S POV~ I watched them wheel Kira into the hospital, an oxygen mask over her face a nurse compressed her chest.“Is she going to be okay?” I asked in a shaky tone, “Ma'am come this way please, tell us what happened” a nurse called.She walked me toward the nurses’ station and took down all the information I could give her.Nico didnt come with me, and I knew it was more than just a war with Logan because Lorenzo was suddenly missing too.I waited for the nurse to come back with some news, she walked up to me with a worried look on her face, “Is she okay?” I asked, and she touched my arm.“Yes she is, the doctors are with her now, she had a serious infection a few more hours she would have gone into septic shock, she’s out right now but you can go in later when she’s awake” she smiled.I beamed with joy, “Oh thank you!” I hugged her.“But that’s not all, you are Pearl Cavill right?” she asked, I nodded “Yeah I am” “I need you to come with me to see Dr Thompson about Sophie D’Ang

  • His Secret Obsession   A LUCKY DAY FOR RAYLA

    NICO’S POV~I followed her like an invisible rope had been tied around my neck to her swinging waistline.She turned and saw me walking behind her.“Why are you following me? Don't you have somewhere to be? What if someone sees you and reports you to the cops!” she fumed.I grinned, “I can go wherever I want”She snapped and hastened her steps, took a turn and walked toward the nurses’ station, I quickly hid in a corner and peeked.I saw her look for me, and I laughed, for someone who wants me to leave her alone she sure is clingy.I saw the nurse smile and give her directions, I stepped out from my hiding pot when the coast was clear and I followed her.She stopped in front of a room and entered, I walked toward it and I could see there was an adjoining room, I'm guessing the Asian woman was in there.I walked to the other room and entered, I guess this room was made for people who got sick together or something because a clear glass separated the rooms.I closed the door behind me a

    PEARL’S POV~What the hell did I just witness, am I about to watch Nico fuck another woman in front of me?“Are you okay, you look like you’ve seen a ghost” she inquired.“Im fine” I replied glaring at Nico who wouldn't stop staring at me as he slammed his dick into the nurse’s mouth over and over.I didnt know what I was feeling, but anger was definitely in the mix. “Just…. Just um a little blue” I lied, clearing my throat, “the um donations yeah they make me blue” I added to the lie again.Kira shook her head in protest, “you don't have to do it,” she said, taking my hand.“I have to, she’s important to me”, I replied, I watched as Nico filled the mouth of the nurse who was supposed to prepare me for Sophie’s donation.Doesn't he want to save his daughter anymore? Is his anger for rejecting him worth Sophie’s life?“I have a confession” Kira started, I turned away from Nico and back to her.“What don't you like the jello? I knew it” I laughed.“Well, that and also I think I have a

Miss Cavill!” I heard as I descended the stairs, I smiled into the camera pointed at me as I stopped and soon more paparazzi followed.“DM Holdings just announced you as the Interim Ceo, following your ex-husband Logan Davis-Malone’s sudden resignation, what do you have to say about that?”I placed my hand in front of me and smiled directly into the camera with an innocent gaze. “yes, I have just recently been briefed, transitioning into the role of acting Ceo until it's official.

  • His Secret Obsession   WE ARE NOT ALONE

    PEARL’S POV~“Im sorry im what!” What am I hearing? Is this a prank? Perhaps a dream.But how? It's just been a month since I married Nico and honestly, I thought i could never get pregnant not after the last time.My heart pounded against my ribs as I gazed at the physician."Congratulations," he repeated. I looked at his identity card. “Dr Gibson, you are mistaken; I'm not pregnant.” He chuckled, his voice softer this time, as if he were worried I would lose it totally from confusion. "Yes, you are. You're pregnant."The impact of the words was far greater than that of any bullet, betrayal, or fall that had become a part of my identity for so long.I'm expecting a child…. This was the last thing I ever thought could possibleI felt my gut turn around and my knees sway. The whole room swayed, but the door slammed open with a crash before I could comprehend it."Pearl!" The hospital wing was filled with August's voice.I turned just in time to see him lunging through the doorway, ga

    Lorenzo’s pov~I followed the van closely, and soon we headed for the Bronx. I sent a message to Adam, and he wasted no time arranging enforcers.I got out of my car and slid into the shadows. I watched them hurl both women out of the car and into a house that looked like it had not been lived in years.I quietly snuck in just as the door was about to close.I walked over to a dark corner just as one of the guards moved to shut the door.“Well, lucky me killing two birds with one stone, bring them over here.” I heard Camille's voice next.I hid and peered through the darkness to see what would happen next, I couldn't take on the guards in here without help, all I could do was hope Adam came just in time to save them.She injected both women with something and soon I could see them groaning as they came to.“Hello, Pearl,” she started with a smile. Pearl turned around just in time to catch her disdain, “what the hell! Where is Sophie?” she yelled not caring about herself.She was a sel

No flipping hair in my face, No last dig on my personality.She just looked in both directions, hung her belly in the air and left.I guess that's the last I'll see of her, I take it means she’s not going to attend the pageant. Leaving the disposable phone like a corpse. I sat still. Listening. Reflecting. Making a plan. Camille had always been the one.

Used people conveniently like Nora, Langdon’s daughter.But wait, the story is getting me more and more confused.Think Pearl what are the facts,he made Nico who he is, meaning my bastard of a husband owes him fuck all, but what happened between them that has led them down the rabbit hole.First, he was black and now white?Who is Langdon Mosely What have I really found, everything always led to Camille and Nico.Who sent the bomb and why was Camille

  • His Secret Obsession   THE REST COMES EASY

    PEARL’S POV~For a heart as loud as mine the city was too silent. I should have let it go and gone home. Devina said something that didn't sit well with me.Her anxiety had been too convenient, and her eyes had darted too quickly from Me Lorenzo.She claimed that Camille was "crazy," but Devina and her fiance feared being controlled more than anything. She was terrified of Camille My mind still wasn't at ease, if she's communicating with her, I also wanted to hear Camille's lies. So, I told Lorenzo and Adam that I needed air and slid into the closest taxi, guiding it to the small private airport, rather than returning to the apartment.According to Devina's itinerary, her flight was departing from New York to Paris tonight. A vacation. A clean break. Not at all. This late, the terminal was silent. A couple of pilots milled about, and an attendant who looked drowsy waved me through after thinking I was a Davis-Malone. I didn't try to correct her, I smiled and walked right in. If

  • His Secret Obsession   OUT OF THE ORDINARY

    PEARL’S POV~It was hard convincing August to go along with my plan seeing how worried he was about me.“This isn't right Pearl, you almost died in that station and now you are off again to find Camile, are you sure this is not about Nico?” he asked, stopping me just as I was about to grab the door knob.“Everything I've been through has been all about Nico, don't you get it?” I scoffed, “Everything!” I exclaimed.“But I can't leave Sophie to pay for his misgivings, she’s a harmless angel August, im not letting her die” I continued as the thoughts of Sophie entered my mind.“Fine but I'm coming with you Pearl and I mean it” I sighed and turned to him, I took his hand and pulled him close to me.“I need you back at the office August, everyone is counting on us to make this pageant a reality, this is my legacy im not letting Nico steal this from me, I'm respected enough to be included in the inner circles, I'm not letting that go for a bastard who took great pride in ruining my life”

  • His Secret Obsession   A NEW VENDETTA

    Pearl’s POV~When I awoke, the harsh smell of hospital antiseptic and the soft buzz of machines greeted meThe ceiling was excessively white and it burned my eyes. I felt a wave of nausea wash through me and the urgent need to throw up stung my gut. My chest hurt the most, but my entire body felt as if I had been struck by a train. My hands were chilly and rigid beneath the blankets, and my fingernails were still dry from the blood. I was definitely in the hospital, the smell was too distinct to ignore.Once more I'm in the hospital because of Nico, my life keeps getting worse with each passing day. I kept thinking about Nico's blood, Camille's sneer, the station, oh my God the explosion. The monitor next to me beeped more quickly, and my breath caught the attention of the nurse outside the door. A nurse entered, the same one Nico fucked right in front of me, smiling politely. "Now that you're safe and awake, Miss Pearl, you need to relax, okay?”I felt a dull agony clamp acros

    PEARL’S POV~Like fingers pulling secrets through the air, smoke coiled through the station's hallways.I took off running.The whole building had shaken from the blast, and now sirens were screaming everywhere. My mind was racing, and my ears were ringing."Nico!" As I ran down the west wing hallway, one palm to my ear, I shouted into the comms. "Do you see him, Lorenzo?, there’s so much smoke I can't see him!”I tried to look through the dust but all I could do was cough and my eyes were blinded from all the debris lingering in the air.Breathless, Lorenzo answered, "No! Not yet, but pearl all I can see is blood, Lots of it”I froze as I turned a corner, blood, does that mean?My body quivered in fear as I stepped into a pool of red thick blood.It soaked into the white tile in a pool, still warm. The wall was marred with smudged handprints that looked like someone trying to crawl. Iron, smoke, and something worse clung to the air.But, there was nobody, no Nico.I looked around

    NICO’S POV~The interrogations were no easy feat, I'd been hammered by different officers wanting to know everything.How I started my empire and who my mentors were.How long have I been doing all of this?They wanted to know how long I've been Nicolas D’angelo, the feared don of the entire New York City.More painful than the handcuffs on my wrists was the chilly air inside this flimsy holding cell, now that the bribes have stopped they no longer respect me.Even though my blood was boiling, I continued to focus on the grey metal table below me with my head down and my hands folded. I sensed Pearl, Adam, and Lorenzo were observing, their comma open waiting to hear every secret spill. Especially pearl…I considered them All rats in what they believed to be a maze, a maze each one was determined to get out of. They can never know Camille, not the way I know her.The first night I met her, her adopted father was my mentor, and if I was visiting him for some wise words, back when ton

  • His Secret Obsession   A Mystery now we shall solve

    Lorenzo’s pov~My strategy was already underway by the time evening arrived. Despite the tense atmosphere in the precinct, I navigated it with ease, no one knew who I was.I had disguised myself as though I was one of them.Every utterance, every muttered command, was a meticulously practised lie to get what I wanted. And by Tonight, Nico D'Angelo would be taken into custody. All this was a plan to lure Camille Devaux, and that bastard Langdon out of hiding and right now if all went according to plan we could succeed andSophie would be home by breakfast. I rested against the wall on the other side of the glass briefing room. Pearl's strained, hoarse voice echoed from within, and Adam sat beside her, clearly worn out. Nico? Like a trapped panther too astute to think this wasn't another treachery, he was pacing, glancing from one person to the other.All he knew was we had given him up willingly.And for that, He was not mistaken. To save his daughter Sophie, I had to betray him.
