All Chapters of A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Midas’ POV ‘You seem bothered, Midas. What is on your mind?’ Pearl asked as we drove to the Agent's station where Antonio was being held. It was evening already. Left to me, I would have postponed going there till the next morning, but Pearl insisted that we go that day unfailingly. Kendrick had called that they had taken Antonio in but it was not without ado. The moment he set his eyes on them coming towards him, he ran and they had to give him a chase. It took them over thirty minutes before he was captured. ‘Midas, what is it?’ Pearl asked again when I didn't answer her the first time ‘I have just been thinking about what Mabel said. Why would Antonio be as stupid as asking someone like that boy to do his dirty job for him?’ I said. ‘You heard agent Kendrick the other day? Antonio might be getting desperate for the job to be done,’ Pearl said. ‘It still bothers my mind. I hope Mabel is not right about us being distracted,’ I said. ‘Agent Kendrick said he ran. If he

Midas’ POV I was driving back to my office with mild annoyance and worry. I had gone to Pearl's office to show my grievance with the fact that she knew about Karen and my grandfather’s relationship but decided to say nothing. But when Karen said she was ready to put her signature on whatever I wanted to be the terms and conditions for her relationship with my grandfather, I knew she was probably in love with him. I just couldn't bring myself to accept the fact that she was in love with my grandfather, a man twice her age. There were gold diggers everywhere and one can never be too careful. My behavior was getting on Pearl's nerves but I was just trying to protect my grandfather. He didn't deserve to be swindled by a young girl at his age, but with everything Karen had said, I couldn't allow him to choose to please me over his own happiness. All I had to do was keep an eye on Karen. My phone rang bringing me out of my thoughts. I frowned when I saw that it was Pearl's office

Two Weeks Later Crystal’s POV The knock on my door startled me and I jumped. The door opened and my dad peeked in. He became worried and quickly entered the room when he saw that I was holding my chest. ‘Hey, are you okay?’ He asked coming to my side to place a hand on my shoulder. I got out of my chair and embraced him then burst into tears. ‘What is it, baby? Talk to Daddy,’ Dad said as he rubbed my back in circles. ‘I am so scared, Daddy. I am so scared that someone is just going to pull the trigger, and I will be bleeding on the floor in a second,’ I sobbed. Dad sighed sadly then stepped back from the embrace. He took me to the sofa and made me sit down. He gave me his handkerchief and allowed me to cry some more. ‘I am sorry that you feel this way, princess. I wish that there is something I can do to make you feel safe. You can come home with me if it will make you feel better,’ Dad offered. ‘No, I can't. The only time I feel safe is when I am with Midas. For

Pearl's (Crystal) POV I had tried several times to open my eyes to no avail. Each time I tried harder, it seemed my head hurt badly, and I couldn't raise my hand to touch my head. I felt so helpless surrounded by nothing but total darkness. I soon became too lazy to try to open my eyes so I just allowed the darkness to pull me back under each time I became conscious of my environment. Sometimes I could hear people talking but a particular voice stuck with me. The voice kept begging me to wake up with a lot of pain in it. I tried several times to open my eyes and explain to the person that I was tired, and I didn't want to wake up, but I was even too lazy to do that. So I just listened to the voice till I fell back into oblivion. Suddenly, I became weary of the darkness, and I wanted some light. I felt a searing pain in my stomach one more time and I groaned. ‘She is awake,' somebody shouted, and I heard a door shut, making me wince as the noise made my head hurt badly. T

Pearl’s (Crystal's) POV I watched in dread as Eric came into my hospital room. He had never done that before. Each time I landed in the hospital, he jetted away somewhere and would not come back until I left the hospital. ‘Hello darling,’ Eric said and I frowned. Since when did he call me that? What happened to whore, slut, fool, idiot, and the other names he could come up with according to his mood. ‘Hi,’ I stammered. ‘The doctor said I could come in. Where is Karen?’ He asked. ‘She went to get me fruits,’ I answered him in bewilderment. Eric sat on the bed, and I would have moved away from him, but I was too scared. I didn't want to be battered again with the pains I was already going through. I was sitting with my back propped on the pillow. ‘I brought you this,’ Eric said handing the bag he brought with him to me. I collected it and thanked him. ‘Aren't you going to look inside?’ Eric asked smiling at me. ‘No. I will do that later,’ I said. ‘Okay then. So ho
