Semua Bab Pearl of his Heart: Bab 71 - Bab 80

That night, Jason did not return home but spent it at his office. He had told David to lie to the chauffeur about some business party so that he would have an excuse to stay away from Alya. But avoiding her was not going to solve the problem. He was sitting on his chair, wondering what to do. His head was still playing the kiss from the other night. The way Alya stepped forward to give him a brief, innocent kiss. Thinking about it made his heart beat fast and he could not help but linger on the sweet apple-y scent of hers. Her amber eyes had momentarily beamed in joy and even though it was a short peck, her innocent charm touched his heart and he could not help but think how soft her lips were… “Focus!” he gritted. There was no way he could think of having a relationship with her. He could not have a relationship w

Jason was now completely anxious. There were only two minutes left and Alya still did not appear. Oskar Jung was frowning and Alexandra was worried too even though she did not show it. Rachel was suppressing a smile. He tried to call Alya’s phone several times but to his shock. Butler Yang picked it up and told him that she left her phone at home! “Where the hell is she?” he muttered under his breath. “Your designer is not here yet,” Oskar said to Jason. “If she’s not here by 9, I’ll leave. I loathe tardiness, Mr. Cho.” “She’ll be here,” Jason said, masking his nervousness with confidence. He could let his anxiousness show on his face but mainta

*An hour ago* Jason was driving through the city, looking for any traces of Alya. He had stopped at Lucas’ penthouse but he was not there. Jason’s heart was speeding up as anxiety engulfed him. How did they even end up in such a situation? His phone rang. It was David. “Any signs of Alya?” Jason demanded. “No sir,” David replied. “Unfortunately, the CCTV footage from this morning was deleted by someone. We’ve confiscated the guard and he has no idea who might have done it. Only a staff member can enter the security room!” Jason cursed out loud but he did not have time to deal with this. He must find Alya

Alya was in her ward, watching a show on her cell phone. Butler Yang had sent a duffel bag containing all her necessary items. Alina wanted to come but Jason told her that Alya would be discharged the next morning so there was no need for the kid to come. She was laughing at the comedy sitcom when there was a knock on the door. It was Adrian. “How are you feeling now?” Adrian asked her with a smile. “Much better!” Alya exclaimed. “I wanna go home!” “I’m afraid you’ll have to wait till tomorrow morning,” Adrian said. “Now, I’ll need to do some quick check up.” Taking her wrist, he

“AGHHHHHHH!” Jenna’s cries echoed throughout the penthouse, scaring everyone in the vicinity. She threw another vase against the wall, smashing it to pieces which joined the broken glass pile on the floor. Picking up a bat, she hit all the furniture in her room, breaking them like a lunatic.  Her beautiful face was marred with a manic fury. The mascara was melting from her eyes, staining her teary cheeks with a black shade. Her hair was a mess and she clawed at her arm, desperate to unleash her anger. Camelia had just entered the house only to hear the loud smashing of objects, startling her. “What’s going on?” she demanded from one of the servants.
