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! You wanted to kidnap her!” she kept yelling and no

    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

Daddy’s here” I said, approaching her cautiously as I glared at the wolf.“Daddy” she whimpered as the fox’s growls deepened and he prepared himself for an attack.Slowly I stepped in front of her and the fox charged at me, I pushed her out of the way and she landed in a hedge with a small thud.The fox pounced on me and I was so wrestling with it on the ground.“Daddy!” she screamed but I told her not to move.The fox snarled at me, his jaw salivating as it tried to sink its teeth into me.I clamped its jaw with my elbow and pushed it away with my foot.It bit my leg, I saw a log of wood beside me, I raised it and hit it over the head.It how

Where what who?“I need information, you”, pointing to Tony Morello, “tell me what we know about Kenji,”He stepped further and Lorenzo stopped him, “ he rose to power a few months ago, but he was his predecessor's right-hand man, and get this, his lawyer” he continued.“How did the last kaichou die,” I asked, “he laced his mistress’s pussy with an allergy trigger, and he died under her, the doctors said it was natural causes” he continued.“But it was Kenji; he always has a way with women”, he finished, I walked towards Liam, “how did Logan find him?” I asked again, “ he came to us” he retorted, I turned, “he did?” my eyebrows arched high. “ yeah, he said he has a way of getting us out of our debt with you,” he continued. “so he offered your half-with brother 20% off, and he signed it” I laughed, “That’s

The thought of belonging to Logan's brother sent pure irritation down my spine. But it was an irritation I had to endure.“3 million dollars” I heard another voice announce before raising his arm. Kaichou looked into the crowd, “what do we have here?” he laughed.“Tony is that you? I thought I'd recognised you earlier when you came in shortly after Mr Davis Malone” he continued.He got up and pulled me along, “she’s not for sale, she’s just available for the night, I'm going to keep her, she belonged to Don D’angelo and now she belongs to me” he stated.I was scared, a room full of men ready to devour me and here is Liam trying to buy me like a piece of property, how did he know I was here?Did Logan get him to save me?

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.

  • 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   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

    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

    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

    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.

    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
