PEARL’S POV~“Yes Tilly, just until he regains his memory,” I said, “wait hold up, look I've got a man, and I dont think he’d understand I have to pretend to be someone else’s wife” she complained.I scoffed, “didnt seem like that earlier” I whispered, with a little jealousy.“Excuse me?” she asked trying to understand me.“it's just for some time, we already know the truth but he doesn't we need to keep him in this reality until he figures it out himself” I stated.“Im not comfortable with any of this pearl, you saw how he was acting with me earlier, he thinks im Lola!” she spat.“Tilly im sorry you are going through all of this, but I assure you it will be over in a few weeks tops, right?” glancing at the doctor.“Give or take, as long as he isn't stirred forcefully to remember, it should be fine” he finished before walking back into Nico’s room.“Im honestly not okay with this pearl, how exactly am I going to deliver this role? What do I do when he wants to get intimate?”I paused
PEARL’S POV~Tilly and I rushed over to the company as quickly as we could, I called Adam on the way and he couldn't believe such a thing had happened.“What do you mean? Didnt they inform you they were coming? 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? What the hell is he doing to stop this, this is his company I can't believe that asshole” “I have no idea, look I've got to hang up right now, my assistant’s on the other line,” he said before hanging up.“What’s going on? I thought we already quelled the raging heads of industries” Tilly asked scrolling through soc
PEARL’S POV~Kenji sneaking in was the last thing I saw coming, “are you surprised to see me? 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
PEARL’S POV~We got to Tilly’s not long after, she slid the key into the lock as I leaned on the door tired and worn out from a toxic and terrifying day.“I could almost die from exhaustion Tilly, can't wait to have a long nice bath,” I said with a groan.She gave a small laugh, “Well you got me this apartment, take all the time you need soaking away” She smiled as she pushed the door open.We stepped in and the image before us terrified me instantly.A young able-bodied man lay naked on the couch, a puddle of roses covered his private parts and the entire floor, and a rose clenched between his teeth.“Oh shit!” he exclaimed, grabbing a pillow to hide his huge junk, I quickly turned away.“Oh my God babe! 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
PEARL’S POV~ I froze in my step, “Um this is not what it looks like, I was just on my way to ask about you” I started, whispering as the couple moaned in pleasure.“If I'd known there was going to be a show I'd have come in a little earlier” he smiled, I pushed him away from the way and took a step forward when he pulled me back.“I think this is the right spot to talk about our merger” he stated, I turned to him.I could hear pounding sounds coming from their room and they moaned in pure pleasure.“Right here?” I asked.“Yes, right here Miss Cavill” he replied.“Pearl please,” I retorted, “this isn't appropriate August” I continued, “Maybe it's not the conventional thing but im interested in how this courting turns out, so tell me, what else do you like to do apart from watching people fuck, im guessing this isn't you're first” he smiled.I was embarrassed and my cheeks flushed in shame, “No I dont do this! Look like I explained im…”“Are you a prude? You used to be married right?”
TILLY’S POV~Jason pushed his dick deep into my pussy and I moaned his name, he grabbed onto me and I clung to him desperately, “oh Jason yes” I moaned loudly, clinging onto the sheets.But my eyes were wide open, I thought about that brief eye contact with Angelo, the way his eyes ravaged me.“ are you sure you want this?” he asked.“Yes!” i exclaimed.Bur am i?Do I really want Jason right now, or do I want something else?His dick was doing just fine. I just didn't know if it was what I wanted right now.Do i not want jason.“Are you sure?” he moaned again before plunging it deeper and deeper.“Yes” I moaned, “I want it” I whispered before licking his ears. But i couldnt stop thinking about that moment, what if, just what if pearl and sophie werent in the room that day.And it was just nico and i.In that room alone, and he had looked at me like that….What would happen?I pushed against his dick as he pounded me, “ yes Jason go deeper” Id seen it one day, Nico’s dick in passing.
NICO’S POV~Is Langdon threatening my wife again? Who the hell was that on the phone? Is she safe?My mind kept reeling over and over, I dont know what the hell happened to me but the last thing I remembered was kissing Lola goodbye before leaving for a business trip so how the hell am I in a hospital?Worse still who is that strange woman who keeps challenging me like she’s my boss?No one is the boss of me no one! I was entitled to one phone call a day and a guard was stationed outside my door all day like a prisoner, “Hey!” I called, he turned to look back and I gestured for him to come in.He shook his head and continued, “Hey! Are you deaf? What kind of soldiers does Lorenzo have guarding me!”The man shook his head again and came in, “Are you deaf or something?” I asked.“No” he replied briefly, I was shocked, what the hell gives him the right to be bold enough to speak to me like that?Something is wrong and I can feel it.“I want to walk around can you get me a cane or somet
PEARL’S POV~I looked at his face, confused, something about him felt oddly familiar and that kiss.Why has everyone chosen me to spar for a kissing contest?First Nico and now August.I stepped away from him, and in the corner of my eye, I saw Jason storm out of the house.He glared at me for a while before stepping closer, a look of dread hung over him.“Watch out for that bitch up there, she’ll cut you off when you no longer hold value” he hissed before spitting close to me.August quickly pulled me away from the thick plemgh marinating in the sand.We watched him storm away before he turned to me, “what the hell was that about?” he asked, his hand still holding mine tightly.“I have no idea, but I have a feeling I'll find out soon” I replied looking up at where Tilly’s room lay bright.Did I make a mistake bringing Tilly in? Wrapping her in all this mess with Nico?And now im going to ruin her relationship with her boyfriend.I soon heard footsteps hurrying out, we turned and it w
NICO’S POV~A shard of glass tore through my skin and before I knew it blood had pooled on the floor where I stood.It felt like my insides were torn to pieces.Dust and smoke from the blast filled the air, I put an arm over my nose and found my way out of the blown-up station.I thought of Pearl, hoping she had run out to safety, Camile had played her game.Her dark twisted fantasy to seek her out.She always does this to get my attention, deliberately put me in trouble and I am sick of this.On my way out of there, I saw the van, and I could hear Adam and Lorenzo.Finally, safely out, I was still breathing.I took a step towards the van and realised that if I go back to my life I'll never figure out where Langdon Mosely is.I had to find him, something was off, I know I fucked his daughter but I didnt kill her somehow it seemed it was a strong enough reason to hunt me like a crazed dog.So I turned and left, I hijacked a car from its owner and I left.I headed to Queens, I knew some
PEARL’S POV~I woke up early, I couldn't sleep much after Last night, not when that red package with the disc still stared me hard in the face.I didnt want to know why it existed; something about it would terrify me even further.Knowing it was from Nico made it worse; he was there; I felt him.Thank God it was all a dream.But still, a feeling that Liam could be holding on to something still plagued me.Where is he anyway? He could be a strategic piece for me.I started dressing, my eyes peered at my tummy through the mirror.I wondered about the little creature inside me, holding on to me for life.“What are you looking at? You haven't gained any weight since the last time I saw you,” I heard Rosa’s old croaky voice.“Nothing”, I replied abruptly, putting my brown camisole down and facing her.“It was nothing Grandma Rosa” i smiled, she looked at me, “i know you have doubts about me, i can tell, but i'll tell you this pearl ,i'm on your side, from the moment you saved my grand daug
PEARL’S POV~As I felt my hand catch something, almost like a branch, my heart raced.Words couldn't form from my throat; I looked up in a fit of panic as I screamed.I was dangling midair from what appears to be a branch, and then someone rears his head from an opening.“Take my hand!” he said.That voice—I looked up at him; it was my husband.“Nico?” He leaned forward as he crouched down at the branch.“Nico!” I exclaimed.I took his hand, and immediately he clutched onto my hands. He pulled me up and into a small hidden cave.Fear ripped through me. “Oh my god!” I screamed.“Why would Liam push me off the cliff?” I screamed.“Calm down, Pearl, calm down,” he said softly, “and you!” I screamed, turning to him, as my body system beat with a rush of adrenaline.“You disappeared, without a word, leaving me to deal with a shitpile you dropped on the way,” I screamed in frustration.“If you could just let me explain, please!” He continued.“What do you want to say to me, Nico? What? Tell
PEARL’S POV~I didnt know where I was headed but the airport was the next bet.I knew wherever I found myself I'd be okay.So I booked the next flight available to South Africa.Miraculously I booked a window seat, I had to blend into economy I couldn't risk my business partners seeing me in first class.The sound of a crying child soothed me in a way I never expected.I touched my belly and sighed.“Expecting are ya!” I heard a cheery tone beside me.I turned to see a ginger-haired man, I looked around in a fit of panic.“Relax! No one is out to get ya” she grinned before gesturing to me to calm down.“I'm fine” I replied coldly before turning back to the window.“I'm sorry if I startled ya, I have a wife back home also expecting, are you okay you seemed distressed” “I'm fine!” I snapped, and the man’s cherry smile faded.I sighed it seemed my bad mood was starting to spread.“I'm sorry, okay? I'm just not in the mood to talk” I replied dryly.The man nodded, “there are days like th
PEARL’S POVI imagined Sophie in a box at Hope Memorial, isolated, lying on her bed unconscious as I put my signature on the document. Finally, it's done, there was no need to wait till the close of business. I've made the right choice.I'm going to save Sophia no matter what.I slid the papers back to Jenny.“You’ve got what you want, I don't have the whole day to think about making the same choice” I replied.She smiled and picked up the documents, “I like how you are thinking Pearl, she slid the document into the envelop and just as she was about to turn and leave Adam came in, his mood wasn't good.Once again something had happened or so I thought.. Why is Nico’s lawyer already here? My signature was like an unstoppable wound that flowed into the parchment and guilt washed through me as he looked around the room.“I heard what happened, this is taking it too far Jenny!” he snapped at her as she walked towards him.“Oh so its Jenny now, not officer beacon? Oh Adam you can pretend
Pearl’s pov~Jenny looked at me like she had slapped me with reality.“You know nothing huh” she said with a concurring shake of her head.I was silent, “and now you’ve been plunged deep into their shit and very quickly you've gained recognition by the FBI” she stated.I was trembling with fear even though I tried my best for Jenny not to see it but it was there for all To see.“That video of Nico and I that was over a decade ago and I never knew it existed, when I found out about their twisted games back then they killed my first husband to silence me if I didnt they would come after my son” she paused before turning to look at me.“I've been reassigned to desk duty pending the result of the investigation so im fucked, my last chance at getting my job back is bringing Nico in” she finished.I was still quiet, The whole room appeared to tilt as the glass shards on the floor glittered like tiny, mocking stars.Nico. Camille.They had planned everything down to the T. A man I hardly kn
PEARL’S POVI sat in my chair looking out through the glass window, wondering where the father of my children was.I asked myself, ‘do I want Nico to be a part of my child’s life?’ Still, a part of me lingered to tell him this exciting news: 1 month of marital bliss, and now once again I have an estranged spouse. How fast the tables turned.I missed him so much even though I couldn't bring myself to say it, but today is not the day I show my weakness.I have a visitor who will decide my little daughter’s fate.The conference hall at DM Holdings felt colder today, or perhaps it was just me, heavy, sweaty, and anxious in my seat while acting like I had everything together.August had been amazing at helping me at the office. Rumours were flying that I was proving to be like Logan after all, and I didn't care about the company. Now that Nico’s on the run, no one knows the fate of the company.The sun shone outside the glass windows, but inside, it felt like a glacier had moved in. I lo
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
