Pearl’s P.O.V. (Continued)

“Dad yelled at her and said that …. That they should stop meddling in our lives.” Sapphire spoke further, her tone serious.

“Pearl,” Evan called me in a hoarse voice, twisting his little body, but there was no pain on his face.

“I am here,” I replied to him, and cautiously scooped him up on my lap.

“In my opinion, they wanted us to see the footage, hear them talking, and let our guards down.” Sapphire continued while I rocked my body gently to coax Evan into sleep aga

  • Billionaire's Second Wife: Bound To Him By Vows   the vows

    Arthur’s P.O.V.Every muffled sound coming from the bathroom was like a sharp prick of a needle into my heart.Pearl was so used to hiding her despair that she still covered her cries under the sharp sound of running water.She was completely different from Vera.Vera was expressive.She never bottled up her frustration, anger, or hurt.Especially with me, her way of lashing out with those wide eyes, complaining with tearful eyes, looking pitiful, and tearful silence showing her grievance….Vera shared a loving, peaceful, and glorious life with me.But with Pearl…We shared heartbreak, betrayal, and the constant fear of losing Evan at any time.Our union was a compromise with the situation.She shared my exhaustion, burden, and despair.Evan isn’t her burden.Yet, she is present in every second of his life now.What my parents did isn’t her mess to deal with.Yet, she is with me at every step.And where am I in the troubles of her life?I had spent all this time trying to save Evan, w

    Pearl’s P.O.V. (Continuation)My head spun.No…This can’t be…Please, this can’t be….My heart thudded hard against my ribcage when the fear started creeping in my chest.“Th… that stuff wasn’t to k… kill Evan.” She spoke further; her voice was trembling hard.“She… she said th… that the medicine was only to weaken Evan. He…. He was okay till your wedding, Mrs. Froste.”I slowly moved in her direction.My face was expressionless, but I was panicking in my heart.Why was everything connected with my blood?“It…. It was the next day wh…. When I received the dose. I….. I fed that full, a….. and his condition deteriorated.”I listened to her explanation with an expressionless face and a thudding heart.“Wh…. When I asked her, she said th… that now you are his stepmom, you would surely give your blood to him, a…. and Evan would be okay.” My blood ran cold in my veins.Every step was calculated.“She? You mean, Mrs. Sophia Westfield?” Collin suddenly interrupted her, his voice steady but c

    Pearl’s P.O.V. (Continued)She blinked while looking at me with a frozen expression.“You said that you had no choice but to take the money and feed poison to Evan. That was your choice instead of going to Arthur or Jack, Cara. You could have hinted to Victor in other ways, but you did nothing to let any of them learn about Evan’s condition, and if I am not wrong, you always told them that Evan is in good health and doing well,” I continued in the same way, but I couldn’t keep my cool in the end.She lowered her head again; her lips quivered, but nothing came out of her mouth.I took a deep breath and then slowly straightened my back.“Where is that medicine or whatever stuff you mixed with his food and drink?” I asked her in a cold tone.She didn’t answer, but I didn’t show any impatience.She had no defense, and to be honest, I wasn’t here to hear her defense or her side of the story.I am not a saint.Evan is my family now, and she hurt my family.End of the discussion.I looked at

  • Billionaire's Second Wife: Bound To Him By Vows   her explanation

    Pearl’s P.O.V.I am not the first person in the world who gets betrayed by her family and the loved ones or is being used for any reason.Surely, there are so many people in the world with worse fates and experiences than mine.What I don’t understand is the reason that Arthur’s parents tried to make us understand.All the time, they only said one thing.That they didn’t want to break Arthur further, as he was already devastated by Vera’s death.I truly didn’t understand.How did it save Arthur?What were they going to tell him after my marriage to Jack?How were they planning to explain their actions to Arthur afterwards?If it weren’t for Jack’s accident, for how long have they planned not to let Evan have the treatment?As soon as they took Griffin’s name, I understood very well that they let him fool them willingly.That uncle of mine was a cunning fox, and all he could think of was his experiments and research.He could go to great lengths for the success of his research.I don’t

  • Billionaire's Second Wife: Bound To Him By Vows   they followed him blindly

    Arthur’s P.O.V. (Continued)The room fell silent after that.Pearl’s words were enough to guilt-trip my parents if they really had any conscience left.She cornered them in the worst way.They had ruled the business world for a long time, but a young girl cornered them emotionally.With no threat, or with any accusations…Just a simple fact about how their decisions of hiding everything related to Evan pushed him to his deathbed.Mom sobbed.Dad continued glaring hard at Pearl but said nothing.I was about to open my mouth as my patience was already thinning, when I noticed a crack in his composure.He was still stubborn, but I noticed fear creeping into his gaze.Mom had covered her mouth, but her shoulders were still trembling hard.“What’s the use of crying now, Mom? Will it turn the time back?” I asked her in a grim voice.“This was not supposed to happen, Arthur. Griffin ….. he said th…. that Evan would not be in any danger, and once Pearl delivers the baby, Evan will be free of

  • Billionaire's Second Wife: Bound To Him By Vows   the price of secrets

    Arthur’s P.O.V.It’s a saying that the most innocent look in the room packed with wolves and vultures is the most dangerous one.Cara’s involvement proved that I was still overconfident in the loyalty of the people around me.When Evan’s own grandparents could hurt him, Cara was still his nanny.Pearl was also devastated, but her ability to recover herself in minutes or seconds always amazed me.As Evan’s father, I took time to recover, but she not only recovered but also comforted me silently.I stared at my parents, who were now sitting in front of me with an anxious look.They just entered the room, and Pearl asked them to sit down.Her tone was still respectful and calm.Unlike me, who wanted to lash out at any time.“What happened, Pearl?” Mom asked her anxiously.“Did you bring what I asked you to bring, Mom?” I asked her coldly before Pearl could reply to her.Mom looked hurt by my coldness, but I had no heart to forgive them for what they did to my son.And someone else took a

    Pearl’s P.O.V.“Wow! This is really beautiful, Pearl. If …. If you can’t go there, can I go and have a look?” Sapphire batted her eyes innocently, giving me that puppy look that she always uses whenever she needs something from me.I smiled widely but said nothing.“Thank you, sis!” She exclaimed e

    Derek Nickelson’s P.O.V.“Look at how good a daughter you have raised, Derek. She ….. she schemed against us, backstabbed us.” Henrick yelled at me, making me glare at him in the end.“Why are you glaring at me? Did I say something wrong? She maintained this façade of being a sweet and obedient gir

    Arthur’s P.O.V. (Continued)“They have already decided to remove her from the CEO position.” I almost laughed aloud when Paul told me in a whisper.“They actually believe that they can remove her from that position?” I asked him amusingly but didn’t look at him.I heard him snickering faintly, too,

    Arthur’s P.O.V.“What’s wrong with you?” I looked at my father coldly, who barged into my office and yelled at the top of his lungs.Paul was behind him, looking at me with a troubled and fearful expression.He immediately understood my gaze and hurriedly walked out of the room and closed the door.
