Chapter 35 Part 1
“You okay?” James suddenly asked when I look at Pearl. It’s been a year and there’s no signs of her waking up. It’s frustrating and I don’t want to do especially that the doctor warned me about getting ready for all possibilities. How can I though? Do I ready her coffin? Do I tell her husband and her parents? I don’t know… it pains me, all her life she just wanted something of her own but everything go downhill the moment I stepped into her life.
“I don’t even know what to respond to that.” I cross my arms, James is sitting on the chair on the bedside while holding Pearl’s hand and I choose to stand up… I don’t want to stay long especially when I can’t handle looking at her in this state.
“Pearl!&rd
Chapter35 Part 2I don’t know how many toys Luke bought for Theo. We’re shopping right now, and we have body guards all around us. I don’t know if we’re allowed to be seen in public with Theo especially that Luke’s brother haven’t contact us about an update about telling his wife about his other child, but he didn’t leave any rules so I guess it’s fine.“You’re spoiling him too much.” I said as he keep saying yes to what Theo is holding and putting on the basket.“It’s okay, this isn’t everyday.”I shook my head. It’s his money after all and Theo is just so cute that even I can’t resist sometimes.We were eating in a restaurant when a body guard near Luke and whisper something while I’m help
Chapter36“Are you sure about this?” She nodded seriously and I couldn’t help but sulk to the revelation I just found. How is this possible?“It’s just the list of suspects. You have nothing to worry about.”My brows creased when she said that. “How can I not worry? To think that Luke’s father is included to the list of suspect is bad enough and what will happen when he really is the culprit? What will happen to this marriage? Pearl will be heartbroken.”I couldn’t stand straight and think right, and what is his motive anyway? He doesn’t have a criminal record and he’s a boring person who follows his wife wherever she goes.I read the paper again and again and saw that he’s a suspect because when incident happen he&rsquo
Chapter37I bite my lips as I drive to the nearest hospital. I can’t even think straight as the moment I saw the result keeps rushing back into my mind.My heart is beating fast as I arrive and I didn’t even notice that I already parked my car… for all I know I’ve been parking here for a minute now not being able to get out of the car… I’m scared but I’m here already.I put on my mask and cap before going out of my car and I look around feeling the thump of my heart as I enter the hospital. I can hear everything, the clicking of the shoe on the floor, the smell of the alcohol and the distinct voices from the people near me.The moment I arrive at the right floor my hands begin to shake and I didn’t even told my OB before hand that I was coming and good thing her secret
Chapter38Pearl’s POVI cover my mouth and as my tears began to fell. I just read the news about Luke’s father and I can’t imagine what’s happening right now to him. I want to go to him and be the one to comfort him but I can’t do that. I called Ana but she won’t answer it… I have a hint that she’s busy.The news mention that she was having dinner together with them when Luke’s father jump on top of the building, I don’t know the reason but first of all why is Ana meeting them?I have so much question and ever since my agreement with Ana everything began to become chaotic… I don’t want to blame her but why do I feel like this is all connected to her?“When can I go out? I can walk now, and I don’t want to stay he
Chapter39 Part 1Luke’s POVI hugs her tightly and she shake my head and try to push me away. I’m scared, what if she decides to leave me? I didn’t mean to make her feel this way. I was just being nice to the person and I wasn’t flirting, if she hasn’t notice we were talking about our marriage… she gave me advice and the woman is the same age as her mother, and even so I would never cheat on her.“I’m sorry, love. I thought you wanted space.”“So, you flirt with the one that you can talk?”I shake my head. “I’m sorry.” I said again and again and kiss her in the forehead.She got tired of crying and I made her lay on my chest and carry her bridal style. She started to punch me on the chest but
Chapter39 Part 2“Mom, calm down. She’s a friend.” I said that made mom look at me angrily.“I can’t believe this is happening.” She whispered upon angrily looking at dad and dad is just looking at Lauren… wait no they are looking at each other with a poker faces.“Is there something wrong?” I look at dad but he smiles at me.“No, honey.” He looks at Lauren and back to me. “She’s an old friend we never heard from.”“It’s good to see you Milliano.” She smiles and look at mom and smirk. “You’re still the same Annaliese.”“What is that suppose to mean?”I can’t help but smile at their interaction,
Chapter40“Where did you get this information?”“There was an article before that Lauren was trying to gain custody of her daughter and at the same time there was a fight between your mother and her… and I try to find more article and I found out that she had a miscarriage but when I went to the hospital there were no record and that’s when I found that.”I nodded and not being able to process this all. Is this why she went to me? She wants to get close to me and maybe that’s the reason why mom and dad was so such to see her at the house. They were tension and I missed that.“Thank you for this.”I left the cafe floating, when Evan was experiencing this I didn’t know how to comfort him and just told him everything will be okay and that h
Chapter41My mind is hire wired with curiously when I I left Lauren and dad to talk and even though I wanted to stay so badly I couldn’t because they have the right for their privacy… I thought of asking Lauren tomorrow but that would mean I’m being nosy. I didn’t even notice that I have arrive home, when I open the entrance door my eyes widen and I couldn’t hide my smile the moment I enter the house.“What is this?” I laugh at Luke when he handed me a bouquet of flowers. “I don’t recall that today is a special day.” We hugged each other tight and he kiss my forehead and didn’t let go of my waist and look at me and didn’t say anything. I pouted and pinch his cheeks. “You’re so cliche.” I said with a smile.“Admit it, you like it too.” He
