2024-10-29 19:42:56Pearl's POV:
Holding the dress under the scrutiny of my eyes, I smiled evilly imagining the face of my dear husband when(if) he would finally see me in this dress. The dress is a black mermaid dress with work of lace on the upper body part. Though it hides everything but it would fit me like gloves which would leave the people wondering what was beneath the dress. I had already choose a pair of Jimmy Choo black lace heels to wear with this.
It was already 2 in the afternoon and the show would start at 8pm. I put the dress and shoes in a bag to wear it before the show and choose to get ready to leave for the show.
As I knew I had works to do there, I decided to not wear any make up as I had many things to do and I would have to wear heavy make-up later anyways. I took out a white floral sundress with matching white sandals and pulled my hair in a high ponytail. I checked my look once

Alexander tried for the last time but I felt conflicted even when I knew it will help me to become a renowned fashion designer."But-""Did he misbehave with you?" Armin butted in with an angry growl. God was he human or what!"No, he didn't. It's just..... he is Ryan's rival." I said calmly."So what? I thought you're an independent woman. Their rivalry is between them. What it has to do with

She had already made a small hill of clothes on the floor and she was on the way to make a cloth mountain."Pearl, what are you doing?" I asked her sitting up."But I keep cruising, can't stop, won't stop movingIt's like I got this music in my mind, sayin' gonna be alright." She sang loudly without replying to me."What the hell?" I said, frustrated out of my mind."'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, pla

Pearl's POV :Nothing can ever compete with girl's addiction to their clothes. Even if they have closet full of clothes, they will still think they have nothing to wear. They can spend their whole day in the market's to find that one dress which will be perfect for them. Many finds it annoying. But did we ever gave a thought upon why they do it? Yes, you can say that they want to look the best and you aren't wrong. Though actual reason is, they want to look for that one person who will appreciate her. Nature made them like that and they had no hand over it.So, with the thought of helping them, I first started fashion designing and other reason was obvious. Because I loved it. But at this moment not so much.Why, you ask me? Because I would rip my hairs out any second due to the work pressure. My brain was blank and I was unable to think of any designs which I couldn't afford. Almost all of my dresses were sold out and I really need to come up with new designs.I was brooding in my ca

Ryan's POV :According to Greek mythology, the Sirens were dangerous creatures, who used to lure nearby sailors with their enchanting music and singing voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island. If you get too close to them, you'll lose your sanity for good for they will keep you enchanted.I never used to believe in these, but when you're in where I was even if you're a atheist you'll start to believe in God. Cause this particular siren will seduce you with her body, not her voice."Ry Ry, how am I looking?" Pearl asked with a seductive tone. "Oh, you won't say anything?"Jesus, did she still think that I was able to talk?"Don't you think that I should remove this transparent gown? It's not like it has any use." She asked again and pulled at the knot."Yes, please do." I replied in a daze.

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, I didn't realise it until now. I'll be there in 20." I info

Pearl's POV :"H-honeymoon?" I stuttered as I tried to read his face to see if he was joking or not.He wasn't."Yes, dear wife. Quickly get ready, we are leaving in three hours. 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

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."I do that very well. Want a demonstration?" It took me a second before I realised the underlying
My Arranged Husband Chapter Thirty Four
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

People are now excited to wear my designs and my name is being written on multiple magazines.Things were tough, but I was a survivor and that got me the chance to see my loved ones being proud of me and gathered under one roof."Congratulations, sister." Armin's voice made me look back, I didn’t even realize someone was walking towards me."Thank you. Are you back for good?" After Lou got married to Alexander last year, Armin left the country and went to Brazil. This boy always kept everything to himself, so I never got to be sure that he was in love with my best friend."Yeah, thinking of staying here from now on." He smiled, stuffing his hands in his pock
My Arranged Husband Chapter Forty Nine
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. I wanted to talk on this the moment I came back but I wanted live a few moments as his wife which I never was. For a tiny moment, I found myself picturing what would be it like if I just stay.
My Arranged Husband Chapter Forty Eight
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
My Arranged Husband Chapter Forty Seven
Pearl's POV:Standing in front of the door of our.. Ryan's penthouse I took a deep breath before dialing the code hoping that it didn’t change. A click from inside confirmed that it didn’t. 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. I noticed but chose to ignore as I walked to the bedroom I and Ryan used to share. Every question will be answered in due
My Arranged Husband Chapter Forty Six
Pearl's POV:Coffee, I needed a coffee right then. With all the noises happening around me, my migraine was coming back in full forces and nothing but a cup of coffee could save me. 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. Turned out, it was Benedict's voice."I have a headache from migraine and you didn’t make any arrangement for coffee here." I complained as I started looking for Giselle."So why are you not resting then? And
My Arranged Husband Chapter Forty Five
Ryan's POV:"Mrs. Anderson called again and I said you are in a meeting." Mr. Baker said after he knocked the door."Thank you, Mr. Baker. Is there anything else?" 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." Saying that I opened another file to check that after closing the one I had in my hands."Ok Sir, then I'll take me leave." in reply to that I just nodded my head.Pearl had been calling me for weeks, but I didn’t want to contact her before I had confidence to face her, and there was my father who didn’t budge even a little bit, no matter how many times I asked him for forgiveness. So, when my own birth father wasn’t ready to forgive me, to expect that from Pearl was a luxury itself.About Natalie, I offered to help her to get a job but she refused to take my help and said that she wasn’
My Arranged Husband Chapter Forty Four
Pearl's POV:I watched the rain drops sliding down the glass of the windows as I thought over how crazy the last few months were. First, I got married, then my husband cheated on me, he came begging to me and then suddenly he just went MIA. What did that mean? He didn’t want to try anymore? 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
My Arranged Husband Chapter Forty Three
Pearl's POV:I kept looking at the door for a long time, unconsciously expecting Ryan to show up. 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
My Arranged Husband Chapter Forty Two
Ryan's POV:Relieved. That was what I was feeling after knowing that she was better. I couldn't describe in words how I felt when I heard that she was in the hospital and it was mostly my fault to cause that. I prayed to every God there was to make her better in exchange of my life. I was even ready to strike a deal with the evil if that was possible.And when she gave me permission to visit her the next morning? Man, I was happier then I ever was. She was far from forgiving me. But at least she talked to me for a change, and her voice to my ears was like angel's singing.The hole in my heart started to fill, and I wanted to try everything there was to make her happy. The pain she went through because of me? I wanted to heal that. But knew there will be still scars. Even then, I want to make her love those scars.I was a selfish bast**d who couldn't live without her anymore. It was like the love for her was running through my veins. God how did I hurt her like that? Was I even a human
