His Secret Obsession A Chat With her Tormentor
PEARL’S POV~It was almost like a cat-and-mouse chase with us, Logan had pointed him out and August and I had jumped at the chance to meet our tormentor.But he was hiding in plain sight, and soon everyone had their masks on, “a masquerade event, Devina knew exactly what she was doing!” I fumed, trying to spot Langdon in the crowd but he eluded me.I saw him as soon as Logan pointed him out, he was wearing a smart black suit, and a smooth Venetian mask, which covered his face except for his mouth and a big surprise followed.I'd been expecting an African American man but instead, he was caucasian.He wore thin black gloves, and with ease, he gripped a champagne flute.I recognised him despite the mask, nothing could hide from me right now, not when im this determined to know why he won't stop coming after Nico and me.I had followed rumours about his name for too long to be duped now.However, he disappeared into the crowd each time I attempted to approach, vanishing like mist among d

TILLY’S POV~"Hasn't she been incredibly... ambitious?" Devina started, her beautiful lips curled in a devilish sneer.“ DM Holdings is being taken over. Operating it as though she belonged there,” she sneered, and I rolled my eyes in agreement.Logan grinned. But you see, Tilly, people like her don't last very long. They become overconfident and careless, and I can't afford that,” he said, turning to see if Pearl was still very much occupied, and she was.I maintained a neutral expression. "And? What’s that got to do with me?"Devina took a step forward, her perfume heavy and oppressive as it lingered in the air and beyond.“She’s inexperienced; she has spent a better part of the last few years being a housewife; she doesn't know what she’s doing,” Logan stated.I smiled I knew where they were heading, but I waited for them to say it.“We need someone capable of assisting us.”... Devina pointed to the heads of industries who had now circled Pearl in admiration.My heartbeat quickened

Nico’s pov~The image of Pearl coming into my room replayed over and over in my head.The dress, her curves, her lips, her innocent eyes, I can now fully understand why I put a baby in her.I was riddled with guilt as I lay in bed, I hadn't thought about Lola since she walked in, and who the hell was that guy?She’s already shacking up with someone else? Im not going to stand for it, if she’s my child’s mother then she’s mine I dont care if Lola’s in the picture or not.But still, how is Lola able to forgive me so easily, learning I have a child with another woman and yet the fiery side I've come to love hasn't surfaced once?Could it be the baby making her soft?Or is she also cheating? No, she can't, she just can't, im the only man Lola had ever known, im her first and I'll be her last.She’s mine alone.I yawned and tossed around in the bed, unable to sleep.My eyes traced the boring ceiling, my only companion was the beeping from the machine beside me.This room was starting to fe

PEARL’S POV~Adam had called me directly, promptly informing me that if I didn't get to the court in an hour, we could lose our edge.I was confused because he had left a message for Tilly since last night and she never reported this to me.Something had been off about her since the event last night, what was she discussing with Logan and Devina?I knew it wasnt anything good.Not in the slightest, I had to bring Nico home, this thing with LM is much bigger than I anticipated.“You met LM?” Lorenzo exclaimed with shock, I didnt want to tell him but I assumed he’d find out anyway.Camile passed us, she looked at me with a familiar disgust and I rolled my eyes, “dont think you are the queen of the castle now that Nico’s not around, I still think you are a fucking usurper!” she snarled at me.Lorenzo shook his head.“Keep it moving, Camille. This doesn't concern you. I'll fetch you if I need you” he snapped, she gasped in shock, and a smile crept at the corner of my mouth.I knew this w

NICO’s pov~The gift arrived immediately after Lola left. A basic brown envelope was unmarked except for my name scrawled in a thick, black pen. My stomach knotted. No good ever arrived in such packaging.There was only one picture inside. Lola. in the embrace of another man, so she’s been cheating on me all this while, all this time, even while I proposed to her.Is this a game plan? To leave me for someone else and take my money?I gripped it tighter as I peered at it. It wasn't a casual embrace. It was familiar, personal.A longing for him. It appeared that she was way too comfortable with this guy, I didn't need to see the man's face clearly, but it was partially hidden. Everything I needed to know was shown to me by the way he held her and the way she leaned into him.There was a slip of paper underneath the photo.His face went white at the sight of blood as soon as the guard barged in.

Pearl’s POV~Blood stained everywhere. I stared in horror as my heart beat out of control. When we first got to Nico's hospital room, I noticed dark, drying stains on the sheets that spilt on the floor like someone had attacked him.“What the hell happened!” August exclaimed, looking around frantic.I sank to the floor. What if, just what if he has been killed?“Is he dead, August? So much blood, I can't...August hugged me, wrapping his arms tightly around me. “I dont want you to think about this; he probably escaped, so something,” he comforted me.I saw that his IV stand was knocked over, a chair was flipped, and the air smelt of something metallic and antiseptic smelt like a fucking hospital.He had left, or maybe been kidnapped!My heart pounded against my ribs as I frozen in shock. Adam muttered a curse and then gave the security squad orders. August was already on the move, looking at the cameras in the corridor."This isn't good," Adam said to himself. "He was being closely

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.

His Secret Obsession HIS SECRET OBSESSION
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
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
His Secret Obsession Unfolding depths
PEARL’S POV~Devina finally left.And this time, no drama at least Not in a big way. 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. Behind the glass at all times. behind the mask In the back of this twisted, decaying labyrinth. 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
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
