PEARL’S POV~

I couldn't go home, not yet, I had to figure out how to make my promise to these Heads of industries a reality.

Adam and Tilly didn't go home either, at first, he’d been irritated by me, and now it seems I've won him over.

The bulb in my head blinked and I immediately got an idea that could save DM holdings.

“What if we bring in a new face to transform the company’s image?” I asked. Adam turned to look at me, “think about it” I started.

“What do you mean?” he asked, I gestured for Tilly to come closer, “I want you to scout for the latest discoveries or innovations you think we can acquire, something that will wow the world and reaffirm our place in the business world, logan may have shot this company in the chest but I'm not going to let it bleed out” I disclosed.

Look, he is here right now, not one of our competitors has caught wind of him, and after this im sure as hell they are going to jump on this opportunity!” Tilly convinced me.I sighed, Tilly was competent, but I slowly regretted hiring her.“Fine! Give me the briefs, but im not staying past an hour, I have to get to the hospital, Nico woke up,” I replied, “oh great! I'll stall him until you get here, you are going to be so impressed I promise!” she squealed excitedly again.I gave the driver a new direction and we left for NYU, my alma mater, I haven't been there in ages.The greatest years of my life were in that school, every memory hard to erase, I had the best of friends, all who I had to cut off for Logan.Just to be with him and his abominable family.I shook the thought away and focused back on my memories, the boys I'd been with, and the fun

I hired you to get me results, not crazy men in hairdos spouting nonsense, date him? ludicrous!” I stomped my feet angrily on the floor before turning to leave.“Find me something else, and fast, Tilly, this isn't a joke, our jobs hang on this” I mentioned before leaving.I heard her talking behind me but I didnt pay any attention, I got into the car and gestured for her t

I stepped close to him.“Nico, hey..” I started, touching his arm softly, and he pulled away from me.As though he couldn't recognise me, “Who the hell are you?” he asked.“What?” I gasped in shock, “You dont remember me?” I asked again.He shook his head before glancing over at Sophie, I beckoned to her to come closer, “Say hello to Daddy” I smiled.“Hi Daddy” she smiled but he didnt return the smile, “Daddy?” she called in a sad tone.I took her away from him as tears streamed down her little face, “im sorry, but if you are trying to be funny, you need to stop, dont include Sophie in your messed up plans” I stated in anger.He looked at me confused, and it pissed me entirely of!What’s the game plan right now?

Are you trying to tell me all this stuff they are doing is illegal?” I asked.“I assure you it's very illegal, no warrant nothing, this is Jeniffer Beacon’s doing,” he said.I was annoyed, “what exactly did Nico do to this woman to be so pissed off,” I asked.“I can't go into the details, it's confidential, im on my way over to the company, the new outlet has caught wind of this, they are already there,” he informed me.“Shit!” I cursed under my breath, “And Logan?

Did you think I had died, or better yet hoped?” he asked, wheeling the chair around before settling back in front of me.“What do you want?” I asked in a shaky tone, he terrified me, memories of Kiko lying on the table shot to death formed in my thoughts.“Where’s her son?” I asked before he could get a chance to speak, “im sorry what?” he asked.“Kiko’s son, where is he? You killed his mother, you have killed him haven't you?”He laughed, “dont worry about MY son, he is safe and where he will be raised to be a strong warrior, my ultimate right hand” he smiled.I imagined the horror the young boy would face growing up, brainwashed, forced to protect the man who killed a mother he never got a chance to know.“Then why are you here, look if I'm not down in 20 minutes they are going to know something is wrong,” I said before managing to fold my hands.“Im not going to hurt you Pearl at least not

Why are you here, I told you I was working late tonight” she yelled rushing to cover the rest of him.“I didnt know you were bringing someone over I wanted to surprise you, shit, who is she?” he inquired, I turned seeing he had covered up with sheets.“Hi” I smiled stretching my hand

That problem I do, a grown man trusting a child, what has the world come to?” She fled with a loud giggle, squeezing past guests like a cunning sprite, waving at them and shouting “It's my birthday!” she let out a giggle.

Only Sophie, Nico D'Angelo's daughter, could have such a spectacular birthday, a birthday fit for a princess of her status, no expense was spared.I watched as they mounted a wedding podium right after it.It sickened me to watch Tilly strut around making final adjustments for what seems to be her wedding day.I navigated the crowd, feeling alienated at a party put together.
