Semua Bab His Secret Obsession: Bab 81 - Bab 90

NICO'SPOV~With my bare feet smacking the cold tile, I ran along the dark hospital corridor, my pulse racing. I became even more desperate as Sophie's frightened cries rang in my ears. With tears running down her cheeks and strained breath, and i had no idea why the sound of her in danger triggered me.I was jacked up like a angry bear, her helpless cries for me weakened me in ways i never thought were ever possible 5 minutes ago. Lola raced next to me, her little feet trying to keep up.“Stay behind, you are pregnant!” i cautioned her.“No im coming with you!” stubborn as the day i met her."There! He is on his way to the emergency escape”. A scared nurse pointed to a dark figure at the far end of the hallway and screamed loudly calling the attention of the security men.Sophie's small arms flailed as the masked kidnapper carried her like a rag doll. She was calling for me while crying."Stop!" The man didn't hesitate when I yelled at him. A gurney crashed into a queue of medical t

PEARL’S POV~ I had to take a breath. I needed a moment of clarity because the walls of mystery and deceit were closing in on me.The sweet scent of the morning cocoa on my table turned my stomach as soon as Tilly walked in with a smile.“Good morning boss” she greeted, I gave her a quick nod and sipped my hot cocoa.I‘d crossed the line when I asked her to be Nico’s wife, what the hell was I thinking?“Are you okay?” she asked setting the file in her hand on my table.“im fine I just have a bad taste in my mouth. That’s all, Anything new?” I asked looking at her, I had to give off a neutral look, she couldn't know that I knew she’d been naughty.And with Nico...Something else about the way she’d say we shouldn't have killed Sophie’s attacker irked me.“Okay, well, um Winter’s tech has agreed to hear our terms, they want to meet us by 10, so I hope…”“Make it a private meeting. Tell Mr. Winters I accept his invitation to his residence and that I’ll be coming alone,” I interrupted.Sh

Before Devina’s big charity event, I made a stop at New Hope General, nico had been invited to this event it's only right that I tell him where im off to.The hospital smell greeted me first before memories of Sophie's almost abduction hit me, I sighed it's been one hell after the next since I met her father.I gathered my gown and closed the jacket around me firmly before opening the door leading to Nico’s private suite.Nico sat upright in his hospital bed, his dark eyes locked onto me like I was the first bit of light he’d seen in days. I almost blushed until I remembered he didnt even know who I was.The bruises on his face had faded, but the intensity in his gaze was unforgettable."Pearl," he said, voice low, almost like a warning, his eyes didnt leave the curves of my peach dress, devina had sent the invitation and the dress code had almost made me puke, almost like I was getting ready to go to a juice mixer party. "You're staring." I started, sitting opposite him, he shook h

TILLY’S POV~"Hasn't she been incredibly... ambitious?" Devina started, her beautiful lips curled in a devilish sneer.“ DM Holdings is being taken over. Operating it as though she belonged there,” she sneered, and I rolled my eyes in agreement.Logan grinned. But you see, Tilly, people like her don't last very long. They become overconfident and careless, and I can't afford that,” he said, turning to see if Pearl was still very much occupied, and she was.I maintained a neutral expression. "And? What’s that got to do with me?"Devina took a step forward, her perfume heavy and oppressive as it lingered in the air and beyond.“She’s inexperienced; she has spent a better part of the last few years being a housewife; she doesn't know what she’s doing,” Logan stated.I smiled I knew where they were heading, but I waited for them to say it.“We need someone capable of assisting us.”... Devina pointed to the heads of industries who had now circled Pearl in admiration.My heartbeat quickened

PEARL’S POV~Adam had called me directly, promptly informing me that if I didn't get to the court in an hour, we could lose our edge.I was confused because he had left a message for Tilly since last night and she never reported this to me.Something had been off about her since the event last night, what was she discussing with Logan and Devina?I knew it wasnt anything good.Not in the slightest, I had to bring Nico home, this thing with LM is much bigger than I anticipated.“You met LM?” Lorenzo exclaimed with shock, I didnt want to tell him but I assumed he’d find out anyway.Camile passed us, she looked at me with a familiar disgust and I rolled my eyes, “dont think you are the queen of the castle now that Nico’s not around, I still think you are a fucking usurper!” she snarled at me.Lorenzo shook his head.“Keep it moving, Camille. This doesn't concern you. I'll fetch you if I need you” he snapped, she gasped in shock, and a smile crept at the corner of my mouth.I knew this w
