Pearl's POV :

If I was happy because Ryan was taking me to Norway then I was freaking ecstatic at the moment. 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.

    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 :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

    Ryan's POV :"I have done enough to hurt you, so I will stop doing that from right now. I had no proper reason to do that, it was just me being the disgusting person that I am. But I am trying to get better, and hope one day I will reform." I stopped to take a sharp breath and it was too much to look at her confused face as guilt was eating me as a whole. "Natalie, let's break up.""What do you mean by break up, Ryan? You're the one who said you want out of the marriage and to stay by your side through it. And now you are the one saying that you want to leave me?" Natalie spat out furiously."Natalie, I'm guilty for that but you don't want to stay with a person who doesn't love you.""Did you ever love me, Ryan?" Having negative answer of that particular question, I remained quite. "I knew that. But why Ryan? Why did you play me like that? I didn't want to fall for the oh-so-eligible-billionaire. You made me. Why?""Natalie, nothing I can say to make it justified. I loved her and I st

"Pearl is on the hospital bed because of this bast*rd, and you count him as her husband?""There is nothing to count. It is the truth. You have to be calm."

The doctor said it is caused by stress." I informed him as he stood in front of me."Why on the earth the motherf***er is here?"

    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.

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?

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.

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."
