Ryan's POV :

The ringtone of my damn phone woke me up from my slumber but I ignored it as I should and pulled Pearl closer to me, as humanly possible.

"Ryan, please answer your phone. It's irritating." She said, staying in my embrace.

"No, it will stop ringing in few seconds." True to my words, it stopped but started again with newfound enthusiasm. I swear if I didn't need it, I would have thrown it in the middle of Pacific.

"Ryan, it's from your office." I heard Pearl saying, indicating that she had had enough and received it herself.

I sat up against my wish, and took the phone from her hand. She looked like she wanted to say something but opted saying anything and just got out of the bed.

"Ryan, when are you going to come to the office? It's already 9.30." Natalie said in a breathe.

I looked at the clock and she wasn't wrong, God, how can be I late? And what happened to me yesterday? I had a girlfriend for God's sake.

Oh, don't forget to take what you were wearing last night. After all, it was your night wear." Ryan said to me as he tugged my hands."Uh okay." Saying that I turned to do what I was told but Ryan's voice stopped me."Just okay? You're not going to tell me that you just signed a contract today or how busy you're with your business?" Surprise was evident on his tone."If you know all these then why do you want us to go on a honeymoon?""I-" He struggled with his words."Ryan, I will go with you, not for honeymoon, just for a vacation and I know that you want the same as I believe that you don't want to have some cosy moments with the wife whom you want to divorce?"He said nothing, waiting for me to continue which means I was right."We need to talk Ryan, which we can't do that here and I'm going with you for t

I didn't know how but he just got all of it right, the perfect honeymoon sorry vacation destination and now the perfect place to live in. Because the house standing in front of me was my dream house but I never got the time to make it. But Ryan did.It was a two storied wooden house with a long veranda in the front of the 1st floor. Wish I never had to leave this."Is this yours?" I asked Ryan, hoping that he would say yes."Obviously." Ryan answered making my ecstasy double only to dampen it. "Not. Why will I buy a house in Norway? It is on rent.""God you s*ck." I pointed and went to take my luggages out of the 'rental car'. I think everything around me is rented. Sigh.Well, what did I expect? Everything will be permanent and will live here forever? Yeah, never going to happen."I do that very well. Want a demonstration?" It took me a second before I realised the underlying

    Pearl's POV :Opening my eyes, I met with the beautiful face of a human Adonis otherwise called as my husband. He was so beautiful that it hurts to look at. I took my time to study his features, his sharp jaw, those red luscious lips and the smirk on them.Wait smirk?"Are you enjoying watching me?" He asked without opening his eyes and pulled me closer to him."Yes. Now move your hands.""Not gonna happen." He pulled me closer, so close to the point when I could feel every inch of his body and couldn't help but lean my head on the crook of his neck."Just five more minutes then you'll keep your hands to yourself." I warned him though my voice betrayed me."Can't really promise." He teased, sliding his hand down my spine."Ryan?""Hmm?""You left your work to come here, won't there be any problem? Will Natalie be alright?" I asked looking at him.His eyes snapped open, the relaxed expression, which was there until a few seconds ago, wiped out of his face. "Why are you asking about her

    Ryan's POV :The fear of losing someone you love, is the worst case of fear. You'll try with your everything to make that person stay but at the same time you will be aware of how it's going out of your grasp and you can't do sh*t to stop that.That was what I was feeling, my throat clogged up making it hard to say anything in my defence.What can I even say?Yes, that's right, what could I even say when every word that left her mouth was nothing but true?"Ryan, I asked is it Natalie or not?" Gritting her teeth, Pearl asked.I could only nod, still surprised that she knew. But how?A laugh escaped out of her beautiful lips, when her eyes were red with unshed tears and her cheeks still wet; the evidence of the pain she felt because of me.I never regretted meeting her, not even when I thought she cheated on me. But that moment, at that moment I regretted that she met me, a verified scoundrel who was the reason behind her humiliation. I didn't expect her to forgive me. How could I? Did

    Ryan's POV :Even when I pleaded her to stay with me, I knew she was going to leave me for sure. She was someone who can stand for herself, and at the same time someone, who can sacrifice herself for other's."Ryan, when were you with me? Isn't our marriage a business strategy for you? Your ticket to the position of CEO? Oh, now I understand, you want me to stay for that." The last one wasn't a question, she was so sure of it that she just stated it. That was what I got for being a cheater."Pearl, that didn't came to my mind once. I want you to stay with me because I need you in my life." I knew there was nothing in the world that could stop her from leaving me but I still said."Oh, you didn't need me when I wanted you to need me. Now, when you are exposed, you want me to stay? F*cking-unbelievable.""I'm so sorry, please, I'm sorry. It was just....

    Pearl's POV :If you are waiting for time to solve everything then you are only going to get yourself disappointed. In this world, nothing gets done on its own.

And right then, that's what I was going to do.It was really hard to leave the very man who was always a part of my existence, I grew up believing that he would be my future. But it was all in the past, and you can't blame me that I didn't try to make it work.

    Pearl's POV :I have met many people in my life who keeps complaining about their looks, from their point of view, their life would be easier, if they looked better. That's not true, is that? No, I won't be talking about 'all people are beautiful' crap. Because, we don't actually judge the inner beauty. Back to what I was talking about, are they right? No, absolutely not. When we see an attractive person, yes by definition we feel attracted to them, at first. Then we think how they are way better than us (not that I actually support that) and start to pick out the faults in them, because no one can be perfect, you know? We judge them in the littlest of things and we can go on for hours pointing them out. So, let's do a little thinking, shall we?We were the same people who thought, looks can bring us a better luck in life. But what about the good looking people who are victims of our judgemental mind? Are they leaving a better life? Is life better with criticism here and there? No. It

    Pearl's POV:"So, when are you going to agree to the divorce?"There I said the words I was agitating over. The decision wasn't made in a hurry, I thought over and over again, if I could just let everything go and give him a chance. Believe I tried my best but I could not, not when I knew everything would become really toxic, if I do that as I can never actually get over this and never feel the love if should have between us as a couple. So why should I stretch a relation like that when I could already assume what was going to so obviously happen in the future?Yes, forgiveness comes from the greater person, but I never want to be someone great when I couldn't even afford being that and will end up being the bad person anyway because I wouldn't let go?So, even if it hurt, I wanted to part ways.

    Ryan's POV:Oh my God, did Pearl leave?That's the first thought that came to my mind as soon as I woke up from sleep. My neck made a cracking sound as I sat up in a hurry. Somewhere between the middle of the movie I fell asleep on the couch. And my shoulder felt stiff.May be because of my awkward sleeping posture.Ryan do you really have so much time to think about that?My innerself snapped at me while I was going over all that. It was right though, what if Pearl already left?No no that can't happen. I didn’t even get to talk to her about our issues.I ran towards the bedroom in a rush to check if she was there or not and she was sleeping on the bed like a princess who was waiting for her prince to come and wake up her with a kiss.But I didn’t think that she would appreciate that, so I left the room with a sigh to go to the kitchen to see what was being made for breakfast as she would be hungry when she would wake up."Ryan, you didn’t leave for the office yet? It's already 9." M

Pushing open the door I dragged my luggages inside with me and looked around to see if there was anyone who could help me with them and Anna rushed to me all of a sudden indicating that she noticed me before I could."Ma'am, it has been so long. How have you been?" Genuine concern was vivid in her eyes as I smiled tiredly."I have been really busy, Anna. Hope you all were doing good?" Anna bobbed her head confirming that they were. "I'm glad. I'm going to take a shower before getting some shut eyes. Can you tell Martha to cook something chinese for the dinner? Oh and bring the luggages in the bedroom, will you?"Anna nodded but her eyes expressed the want to ask some questions.

But that darn thing was no where to be found."Mrs. Anderson, Giselle is looking for you." A spot boy informed me while I was looking for coffee earnestly around the set."Hmm? Can you bring me a cup of coffee first, please?" I requested as I couldn’t concentrate on anything else."But I have to deliver these to the cameraman." He nodded towards the boxes in his both hands, I didn’t even notice them before, "But I can being it to you after this?""That would be really nice of you." I smiled at him apologetically and he went to get his job done."Why the long face?" A cheery voice came from behind me.

I said in my business tone without looking up to him."You have an appointment with Mr. Salvador after lunch. That will be all, Sir." He informed me as he waited for me to dismiss him."I'll remember that. Let me know if Pearl calls again."

Not that I really care and I absolutely didn’t want to get back with him. But his absence didn’t set well with me.Luckily, I was really busy with my career and the upcoming events took up all my time. It's just day like this, where the rain was pouring down on the earth and the few hours of solitude I got, made me think about the person who was supposed to be my better half.I was by no means ready to forgive him for what he had done. But with the time I got I could understand his actions a little bit more. Nothing can justify those things he had done, but there was this feeling where I could read behind his actions. He was a man who tried time and time again to make me love him and at that time I

Not that I wanted to meet him or anything like that, it was just that- he was so eager to visit again and looked so happy after having my permission. But he was a no show now and soon I'll be discharged from here, so where was he?Did he decide that he was done with going after me and all the apologising? Did he felt sorry at the first place? Guess I would never know."Pearl, you are looking magnificent today." Benedict's voice shook me out of the trail of thoughts I was having right then."Oh please, I'm in a hospital gown." I scoffed at him, and straighten."You my girl, will manage to look beautiful even in a potato sack." Taking a seat beside my bed, he handed me the lilies he was holding."What is with all that fluttery?" I took a sniff of the lilies and put it beside me."Thought I will try and check if I have a chance with you." He winked and had a good laugh as I looked at him sha
