Pearl’s pov~

“I don't need your protection, Nico, look I'm sorry about your daughter’s condition, she’s a sweet little girl but I've got problems of my own and I have my hands full, you need to let me go”

The words left my lips like a dagger and I felt guilt chirping at me but the D’angelos and whatever is going on with them are not any concerns of mine.

“Hmmmm” he started before gesturing for me to sit down.

“My enemies Kidnapping you is the least of your problems Pearlita….”

“Pearl” I subtly corrected him before sitting down.

“My name is Pearl,” I continued before crossing my hands around my chest.

He smirked before sitting on the sofa opposite me, with a poise and aura I could never understand.

“I know,” he affirmed, giving me a knowing nod before looking down at my lips.

“But pearlita suits you more, you remind me of someone, a woman…. Her name was Pearlita” his voice was soothing, they calmed me in ways I could never understand.

    Pearl’s pov~ “So you've got the package with you?” I heard the line on the other end ask, Nico looked at me, I was confused, is he talking about me right now? Am I the package? As he spoke into the phone I realised his voice kept sounding like a woman’s voice, and now I was more confused. “Send me the drop-off location” and with that he ended the call, I was ready to bolt when he pulled me back laughing. With the wind in my hair, they blew into his face revealing corners I didn't take note of, like how chiselled his jaws were or how his beards connected in perfect unison. “I'm sorry about that,” he chimed, I glared at him, “What the hell was that nice, are you trying to hand me off?” I inquired further. He shook his head, that was Renata’s phone, I had her voice cloned to speak to her contact, I'm sorry you thought I was handing you off” he continued. I sighed, “you scared me,” I said looking away, he touched my chin, lightly raising my eyes to meet his, and for a brief second,

    PEARL’S POV~I felt like the ground would open up and swallow me, one minute she was holding my hand and the next, she was lost in the crowd.How do I explain this to Nico?Frantically I plunged myself into the heavy crowd, screaming her name, I asked everyone I could but no one saw her.I realised I didn't have a phone and couldn't reach anyone for help. I ran to the swing hoping she’d gone ahead of me.I saw a girl, the same height as her, the same dress too. “Sophie!” I called out happily as I ran towards the little girl but when I turned her she wasn't the one, she screamed alerting her mother who quickly grabbed me and shoved me aside.“what are you doing!” she yelled.I raised my hands to her. “I'm sorry, I'm so sorry I'm looking for my…. A little girl, I came in with her, I lost her in the crowd” I explained, it took a lot more convincing as people were already starting to gather around us.“No! You tried to grab my daughter!

    PEARL’S POV~ “Get out of the car ma'am” came the guard’s voice, Sophie clung to me, scared out of her mind, what child wouldn't, but I know one thing for sure: I'm not leaving this vehicle until I get my answer. “This isn't the beach house, who are you? Where is this place?” I asked, leaning forward till holding on firmly to Sophie’s hand. “There’s someone inside who wants to see you, both of you” he replied, before reaching for his holster. “So get out,” he added. I couldn't help but feel, this had something to do with Nico and what he was talking about earlier, I started to panic, what do I do? How can I keep Sophie out of harm’s way? So I did the next thing that came to my head, I lunged at the driver, whose strength was overpowering but I held on, “Sophie grab his gun!” Sophie reached for his gun and soon gave it to me, “Get out of the car!” I yelled, pointing the gun at him. “You don't know what you are doing, put the gun down it's dangerous” he stated, angry he hadn't se

    Pearl’s pov~ An older woman came in not long after the kaichou left, he was called out urgently and seemed angry. “Get up child” she started in a low tone, she grabbed my arm and pulled my shaking body up. “You speak English?” I asked in an equally shaky tone. She nodded as she pulled me out of the room to the back of the property. It led to a smaller compound, women were everywhere, and some played with their hair. Some were bathing naked out in the open, but I never saw any men. There were guards stationed out front, at the gates. She slid the door to the side and ushered me in, “you stay here” she said. She closed the door and I turned to look inside the huge room, there was a vanity table, and a traditional geisha kimono hung in cupboards. In the corner there was a bed, someone laid on it, her head bandaged, and slowly she sat up. It was the geisha from earlier, the one who hit her head. I hurriedly went over to her to help her get up, “are you okay I asked, and She sho
