Pamela's p.o.vA few more days passed and I hadn't said anything about the pregnancy or the truth to Charles.I'm exactly a week from today, Royal would be unveiling the designs. I had to say something now but I hadn't had the perfect opportunity to talk to Charles about it.Charles and I had just finished having dinner and were getting ready for bed. I was doing my skincare when he came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist.We had sex twice today. I hoped he wasn't there for round three, not that I would decline if he was.Charles buried his nose in the crook of my neck. "You smell so good" He said and placed a kiss there.I giggled as I touched his cheek."So do you" I said and we both stared at our reflections in the bathroom mirror.His eyes got me Everytime. They looked so tender and soft and in love.I swallowed as I tried to hold my smile, I was tearing up."We should go on vacation next week…hmm?" Charles asked and I chuckled."Seriously?" I asked."It's your birt
Charles' p.o.vI didn't want it to make any sense but it did. I felt even worse than when she abandoned me on the altar two years ago.How could I be so stupid? How could I let my guard down?"How?" I asked. It was impossible for Royal or anyone else to have access to something so confidential that only I knew the pass-"You told me the passcode, remember?" Pamela asked."Fuck!" I growled. She deceived me and I literally handed her the weapon for my destruction!"So this is what this whole relationship has been about, to manipulate me?!" I asked."No, I do love you and I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to let this get out of ha-""Love?" I laughed hysterically then nodded."Now I see that you do take me for a fool" I said and she shook her head."No-""How are you so good?" I asked, staring at the floor, my hands on my hips. I couldn't look at her face right now because I might just throw her out with my bare hands."What?" She asked quietly and I finally looked at that manipulative face."
Pamela's p.o.vIt was cold and I only had a robe on with no phone and no money but I was more scared of the look on Charles' face. I didn't recognize the Charles who said he would do anything for me, it felt like I had unlocked a beast and he wasn't going back to his cage anytime soon.I agreed that it was fair because I was sure he couldn't recognize me too. We had become strangers again, my biggest fear.There I was, pregnant with nowhere to go. The last place I wanted to be was Royal's house so I would rather die on the streets than go to him. I didn't want to seem weak like I had no one but him whether that be true or not.It was probably 12am in New York but cars and people were still on the road. I passed by a couple making out on a bench and a few drunk college guys whom I was extra careful about. I was stark naked underneath this robe.I finally arrived at a small store, one that still had its lights on and walked inside. I hoped the owner wouldn't stare at me the way every si
Pamela's p.o.vI didn't think much about Mia saying she'd take care of things because my mind was more occupied with thinking of how I'd get Charles back just like Grace suggested. The pressing question was if Charles was worth what it would cost to get him back and my answer was…yes. I was finally saying yes to him like I should have two years ago and for the first time it felt right like I knew what I was doing.I just hoped that Charles would take me back for the third time and my chest felt heavy like I would suffocate any minute at the thought that he might not take me back this time.Mia and Felix had a very beautiful house and accommodated me nicely. Felix was in the living room when we arrived and reading a book."We're back in one piece, babe," Mia said as she approached him from behind the couch. He tilted his head and they shared a kiss."Pamela, we were worried sick, how are you feeling?" He asked as he rose to his feet and we hugged briefly."Like shit, hello Felix" I sm
Pamela's p.o.vIt would destroy my company but at least Charles' would be safe."I'm going to ask to have Charles' designs back" I added.Mia's mouth fell open and the popcorn she had in there fell to the couch."Mia!" I whisper-yelled as I stared at the mess she'd made."Oh my god you're head over heels for this man!" She exclaimed, brushing down the pieces of popcorn on the couch."Independent Mia giving up something she's worked hard on to save a man?" She asked placing a hand over her chest and I chucklednervously as I nudged her."Stop being so dramatic," I said as I rolled my eyes."Do you think Charles will forgive you after this though?" She asked and I sighed."I honestly don't care right now I just want him not to suffer" I said as tears welled up in my eyes. I wondered what Charles was doing right now, trying to save his reputation maybe? I bet he wasn't asleep and it was my fault."I want to be less of a horrible person" I said and Mia frowned."You are not a horrible pe
Pamela's p.o.v"What do you mean by that?" I asked.Royal smirked as he opened his iPad and placed it in front of me.I glanced at a few words of what looked like a contract then looked at him."What is this?" I asked."That's the soft copy of our contract, if you bothered to read that which you didn't, you'd know that I own 70 percent of the shares in your company" Royal paused as my eyes darted to his iPad.70 percent? I began to read and scroll through the contract.Oh my god, he did own that much! How could he do this?"Why didn't you tell me about this?" I asked with a frown as I rose to my feet.Royal shrugged, looking totally unbothered."You didn't ask," He said."Because I didn't know that you were a snake! I trusted you with everything and you…you go and do this?" I asked. The more words I spoke, the more tears welled up in my eyes."I trusted you as well now you want to destroy all that we've worked for" He said as he took his iPad back. I shook my head as tears streamed do
Pamela's p.o.vI brushed my hair out of my face as I stared at myself in the mirror. My make up was done perfectly as well as my hair and my black long dress was literally out of this world. We searched far and wide to find this beauty and by 'we' I meant Mia and I.It was the eve of my birthday and the evening of Royal's launch party.I was beyond nervous."Mia, Pamela, you guys are fifteen minutes late already!" Felix yelled.We'd told him to be our life alarm clock otherwise we would be really late."Pamela!" Mia yelled my name and I heaved a breath."We've got this, Pamela" I said to myself and nodded. After one last glance at my beautiful face, I headed out of the bathroom and out of my room to find Mia and Felix sharing a kiss in the living room."Get a room you two" I joked, scrunching my face and they pulled away laughing."Okay, I'm ready," Mia said."Bye babe" Mia said to Felix when she grabbed my hand and he pouted."Don't worry, you can have her back in a few hours" I said
Pamela's p.o.v"...with that, I present to you Markinson establishment's newest designs" Royal announced into the microphone and stepped aside as the people clapped.The hall fell silent and all eyes were glued to the white screen, awaiting the designs which were…terrible?What the heck were we looking at? That faded stiletto looks like it was made by some tired shoe maker from centuries ago.The entire hall was suddenly full of murmurs and angry faces. I was so lost, I looked at Charles and from this angle I could see his brows were creased and he looked confused as well.It didn't look like he did this…then how did…"Stop the slide show, right now!" Royal growled, enraged and the slide show stopped."I wouldn't wear that gown even if it was the last clothing on earth" Mia said and I leaned closer to her."I promise that those aren't Charles' designs" I whispered. The least I could do was defend him."Oh, I know," She said, staring straight at Royal who was talking to one of his men
