PEARL’S POV~

“Give me what I want and I'll let you walk out of here with no charges, full immunity” Agent Jenny Beacon started, I was confused, conspiracies and murder? How?

“I was silent, I knew enough not to speak without a lawyer present, hopefully, Nico saw me being hurled away and he is on his way right now to solve whatever shitstorm this is.

“Answer the question Mrs. Davis-Malone! Where did Kenji take the baby, how did you help him, your case would be so much better if you started talking!” she thundered pounding her palm on the table in front of me before tapping a picture of the Kaichou in front of me.

“First of all im Miss Cavill, I am no longer married to that asshole, second I will not be speaking to you until my lawyer gets here, so get me a goddamn phone so I can make that phone call that I'm entitled to” I corrected, leaning back into the seat and crossing my arms.

She was now visibly upset and her eyes twitched.

I knew this was a baseless accusation, and there was no

  • His Secret Obsession   A NEW PLAYER

    NICO’S POV~My phone rang, and I looked at the sleeping Camille before taking it out of my pocket.With it vibrating in my hand I thought about what it would feel like to wrap my hands around her tender neck and snuff the life out of her.How do I get rid of this woman before she finds a way to get rid of me?I pressed the phone to my ear, Lorenzo's voice came next, “don” he started,“Are you still with Camille?” he asked.I nodded my head but replied, “Yeah she’s sleeping, it's under control, I've..”“That’s not the problem sir” he cut me off, i turned my eyes from her and walked towards the window, we were in the private suite and the view was excellent.“What’s going on Lorenzo,” I asked, placing my hand firmly on the rail, I glanced up at the sky, something caught my eye on the horizon, and I saw a car coming towards the hospital.“My source at the FBI just informed me that an arrest warrant for Pearl has just been issued and they are on their way to pick her up at the hospital”A

Nico im down..” the next thing I knew Logan had struck me, “Shut the hell up or I'll shut it for you!” my eyes widened, I'd seen this side of him that night he threw me.A side I never knew in the four years we were married, it made me wonder about some other thing I may have missed living with him.Shady businesses he may have dont behind my back, using my name.“Where are you taking me Logan” I asked, sniffling as tears rolled down my cheeks.“Far away from that bastard, you are my lifeblood and my fucking insurance pearl, so I've got to secure you, somewhere where that bastard won't get to you” he replied.“Logan please let me go” I pleaded trying to pull myself away from him, I can't, I need you Pearl” he continued.I was terrified, and I wondered what logan would do next, “did I ever mean a

    PEARL’S POV~I stirred, my lips felt moist, kind of salty too, I smacked them together to try and ascertain the taste I was getting but it was unfamiliar.I blinked back to consciousness and tried to open my eyes, I felt a drop fall on my lips and then another.I raised my arm to block the next one and it dropped on my arm, “good you are awake” I heard a voice say.I didnt recognise it, but I knew it was the sound of a man.Slowly I opened my eyes, and a strange man stood before me, he glared at me and licked his lips, he was adjusting his pants when Logan walked in, “what the hell are you doing Shadrach?” he asked, he hurried to where I laid, I sprang up and looked around.I was on a bed, I swiped the drop on my lips, and I shrieked in horror.It was a whitish substance, and I knew what it was immediately.“You fucking bastard! I asked you to look after her not fucking wank on her, what the hell is wrong with you!” he yelled before punching the tall strange man.“She was just too be

    Nico’s pov~I dove between two military trucks when the radio came on, “status” I asked. “I've called for reinforcements, I can see men mobilising I think they know we are here” Lorenzo’s voice came next.I growled in anger, this could be Tony, I never could trust that weasel to do anything.No matter how many times it sheds its skin, a snake will always be a snake.“Where is Tony? I can't reach him” Lorenzo inquired, “the bastard asked for 10%, he knows I'll kill him when this is over” I stated.Lorenzo went quiet, “ are you at the loading dock, ” I inquired.“Yes but I can't get in, it's locked, and it needs some sort of key, but I can hear voices inside, it's not just Pearl in here Boss” he mentioned.I looked around and saw a guard room, “I can see a guard room, I'll check it out, stay hidden, we can't risk being spotted, I'd like to maintain our cordial relationship with the army” I said.I snuck into the guard room and hid among the cloth rack, there were two guards and they we

  • His Secret Obsession   A NEW JOURNEY

    PEARL’S POV~I was moved hurriedly into another room, and Logan wouldn't tell me where or why. I knew Nico would come for me and for the first time, I was grateful I signed those dotted lines.I heard murmurs outside my door and then a gunshot followed, the door opened and Liam stepped in, he hurled me out of the room, I passed Shadrach the pervert, whose head had been blown off, I smiled, happy he had gotten what he deserved.“We want you to see this pearl” Liam exclaimed pulling me to where his brother stood close to a blood-stained wall. Logan gestured for him to bring me over.Logan pointed through the shattered window and I saw Nico just a little distance away, I grinned excitedly, “Ready to hand me over aren't you? I knew you were fucked” I looked again but nothing was happening, he stood there motionless.He looked startled, “im here! Nico! Nico!” I called, he looked up to see me and he immediately looked away like I didnt exist.I was confused, my heart started beating out

    PEARL’S POV~“Liam!” I exclaimed sharply, before pointing at a living breathing Kiko Watanabe, “She’s alive, they told me she’s dead, what the hell is going on here?” I asked.Kiko bowed low and left the room shortly after, “I dont understand you, You see her dont you? Shut the hell up and eat your dinner, it's going to be a long sail so get some sleep” he interjected before slamming the door behind him.What the hell is going on? Did Nico lie to me? I just saw Kiko, living and breathing!She’s been working with them all this while, what did I expect from a woman who had been deceiving me from the start, but I heard the gunshot?I tried to recall the last thing I remembered before I fell unconscious that day. I felt terrified and confused all at once, plunged into a life of crime.I looked around the room, there was a small round window, I walked towards it and peered out of it.All I could see was the ocean, how did my life go downhill? Tears streamed down my face as little Sophie

    PEARL’S POV~“What do you mean her sister” I paused, I never knew Kiko had a twin, all my time with her I was so concentrated on my problems and I never asked her about her life, a shocking surprise to know she was the kaichou wife.“I'll tell you everything, but first we need to escape from here, I've got to go now, I'll come back later tonight with a plan, from now on when you see me act neutral, Liam can't know who I am,” she said.I was confused, “but he was there when Kiko….he betrayed us” I explained.“He was just as surprised but I was able to convince him,” “But how? Kiko was shot!” I exclaimed, “Yes and that was how convincing I needed to be” she informed me, “oh God did you shoot yourself?” I inquired placing my hand against the door.“This is nothing compared to the pain our mother feels, kiko was supposed to come home for Good, she had a son waiting for her, I haven't seen my sister since we were 16, she was sold off by our father to work off his debt” she paused.“I'll b

Dont bother trying to find help, everyone is directed to report to the captain and you know what that means” he mentioned.It means im fucked if I dont do this right, I nodded, “yeah ill stay right here” I replied.As he walked away he took occasional glances until he was a distance away where I couldn't hear his conversation.I watched on as I t

    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

    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

  • 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   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 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
