NICO’S POV~

I knew she’d strike back, sooner or later, things were bound to.

Shit, what was I thinking?

I'd only fucked her once, and that once was enough to fuck her up for life?

I knew I was good, but damn.

Now she’s coming after my family; I should have known when she’d help me sneak in those girls when Lola and I had our differences, she had way bigger plans.

I didn't realise until Lola had died that I may have led her to the hanging tree.

Having a sick daughter is tough, it broke my marriage and now she’s gone.

Lorenzo paced the room while Pearl glared at him. There it was, that look again.

What the hell is going on?

The way she keeps looking at these men! Is there something on his head? Do I have to kill Lorenzo too?

“How do we track her?” Pearl finally asked, “I've put my worthiest enforcers on it” he replied.

I grumbled and hit the table in front of me, “I want you to bring her to me, I want to be the one who slits her throat! Understood!” I thunder.

  • His Secret Obsession   The day it broke

    Pearl’s pov~I got another house that same week and moved out.I flung everything in my room to the floor; the sound of everything metal clanged to the floor like cymbals hitting each other.Ceramics shattered helplessly as I struck them against the walls.I was so angry, and I had no idea why I was this angry.Why did I ever think I was special? Why? Because he kept leading me on.I'm a fool. How did I think this was just about saving her? Of course, he’d fucked her!Just like he fucked Jennifer Beacon! This was not staged so he can't give me any excuses!I picked up my phone and I realised I had no one to call.No one except August….He was quick to pick up and all I could do was sob.“Pearl I saw the video, it's everywhere God I can't believe that man” he started, his tone laced with anger.“I don't need that right now!” I exclaimed amidst tears.Regretting every moment spent with him, up to the moment I said yes.My life had turned upside down since I first saw him at the fundrai

  • His Secret Obsession   A New Planner

    August’s pov~I watched her breathe slowly, and easily as she slept peacefully on my couch.She won't go near my bed room, she just couldn't not after everything with Nico just a few hours ago.I sighed.Finally, she’s here with me, but did she choose me or was she forced into making the choice?She stirred and her hair covered her face, I leaned forward to move it out of her beautiful face.She mouthed something, I didn't hear so I moved closer hoping I'd hear.“Thank you”I smiled, I guess she wasn't deep asleep still I didn't want to wake her.So I stepped back, not before taking in every detail of her face, the length of her curly lashes lay beautifully atop her eye.Just like back then, the first time I ever saw her…She still made my heart beat, the most confusing and conflicting feeling of my entire life.I decided to take a walk to my balcony to take in the night’s fresh air and reflect.I sighed again, Pearl Cavill, was the smartest of the bunch back then.I'd hide in the sha

  • His Secret Obsession   THINGS HAVENT CHANGED AS OF YET

    Pearl’s pov~The sun came out to play today and I didnt wake up until it was past 10 the next morning.I yawned and stretched before sitting up on August's sofa.I remembered the events from last night, Nico's violent attack on August.I groaned in frustration, just before a feeling of dress washed over me.He is never going to leave me alone.Before I could get up, someone grabbed my neck from behind.“I told you what would happen if you fucked with me Pearl” he whispered in my ears.I froze, my eyes bulging out from fear that had taken over my body.I knew who it was, “k…kenji…”“Who did you think it was Santa Clause? You fucked up Pearl, that bastard is still after my life!” he exclaimed before panting heavily it was almost like he was in pain.I tried to push him off me and I finally succeeded.I turned and froze at the horror in front of me, “scream and you die!” he whispered the gun pointing at my head.I saw his right hand was missing as he panted heavily in pain.“Who the hell

  • His Secret Obsession   A Break in the Case

    Pearl’s pov~By noon, a sudden, furious downpour flooded the city as the heavens broke open. From my office, I watched, my heart still torn between Nico's unwanted presence and the chaos of the morning. As if we weren't both knee-deep in blood, threats, and missing people, he was sitting on my assistant's chair across from me, one leg crossed, and spinning slowly. He knows he has no place here, Not in my heart at least. He sipped his coffee as if it hadn't been purchased with corporate funds and said, "You look tense." "You might need me more than you realize."I didn't answer. I just couldn't, I don't know how he could sit there like there’s no sex tape roaming around. With my trembling fingers barely below the surface I reached for the file on my table. It was a new thing every time with his company and there he was sitting like nothing was wrong.I couldn't concentrate not with him skulking around.Not when Sophie is still unaccounted for. Not when Camille's perfume of sadnes

  • 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.

  • His Secret Obsession   a mystery

    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   VENOM BLOOD

    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

  • 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

  • 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

    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”
