"You should have your bath, and since there's no pad for you, you can use the tissue. BJ will treat your wound" she said. Pearl nodded as she started leaving the sorry excuse of a bathroom, but she suddenly turned. "Beautiful necklace by the way...I like it" she said and finally left. Pearl touched the sunstone necklace pendant, and a tear slipped out of her eyes again. She sat on the ground, backing the wall while reminiscing about their picnic date where Roonie gave it to her. "Please... please don't die... I promise I don't deserve you at all but please... just don't die... Please stay alive for me... please Xhen" she buried her face in her knees, crying out her guts and shaking feverishly. * TWO WEEKS LATER, SPAIN ~ ALIVE HOSPITAL* Nurse Layla's smile gleamed like polished diamonds as she came out of her new office to the mini reception. "Did you attend to the girl who needs a colostomy?" She asked the two nurses on seat. "Yes miss, she's resting in his ward right now" one of them replied respectfully. "Good" Layla smiled again, leaving them. Saving Roonie's life made the hospital management promote her to the Chief Nurse, and she's allowed to attend every surgery to learn more. She's holding three books as she walked the hallway cheerfully, getting greeted by almost all the nurses passing by. She's not tall, so she's always on heels like now, and her stature is small too. Her hair is in a ponytail, but she tied it to a bun when she got to the changing room. She changed to the sterile visiting uniform and cap, then she entered Roonie's private ward. She's in charge of him totally, and nothing gives her joy than seeing her first patient alive. She's even more optimistic than his family and friends cos she's planning a party whenever he wakes. "How're you doing today, Mr. Roonie Banks" she smiled, sitting on a tall stool beside his bed. Roonie is still unconscious in bed, but his skin improved, and his vitals are balanced. She comes like this everyday to read him books, and she enjoys it so much. She set down the three books and picked one, then she opened it and sighed. "I know you can't hear me, but at least... your subconscious should connect with me. I finished reading Harry Potter to you yesterday, and today, it's a book about flowers, titled... BEAUTIES" She said, glancing at him. She stretched her right hand to him and held his right hand with it, rubbing it softly. "Mr. Roonie Banks, do you know daisies are my favorite flowers? Shall we talk about them first?" She said. She continued rubbing his hand with her thumb as she began reading about to him. By the glass wall, uncle Edward and Kara are watching with faint smiles on their faces. "She's trying" Kara said. "I'm glad we have her" uncle Edward smiled wider. "I can't wait for his comeback" Kara added. "We can't" Edward said, and they both chuckled. *She was still smiling as she went back into the shop to pick the gift, returning home. * GRAND CASINO* Pearl knew Roonie would never allow her to go in alone, and that's true cos immediately they came down from the car, he took her hand again and led her in. "Still have no idea what the hell you're here to pick" he said. "It's a secret" she replied, and he gave her a suspicious look which made her smile. She made them enter through the main door, and immediately they did, a big rain of confetti poured on him by the door, and he had to stop as everyone screamed out. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROONIE BANKS!" His eyes remained confused as he looked around to see everyone. Rebekah and Axel, Morgan and Rook, Hyce and Isaac. Silver, Hazzan... U
★ "Fuçking fûck... You're my whole fuçking world, Noah. I do" he muttered. A big smile exploded on Pearl's face, and he buried his face in her breàsts, greedily breathing in the smell of her cherry.. She dipped her fingers in his brown hair, stroking it to the scalp. He groaned into her chest, his face resting in a more relaxed way. She was about to stroke his scalp again when he suddenly raised his head, facing her with a slight frown between his brows. "Where did you get the tattoo from? Who inked you?" "It's a woman, I promise" she replied with a knowing smile. "Tell me the name and location of the shop" he insisted. "Nah, I'm not letting you destroy her business only because she tattooed me. You don't see me asking you who tattooed
"Come with me" he took her bag and pulled her out of the office. ___________ THREE MONTHS LATER, GRAND CASINO* It's Roonie''s 26th birthday today, and Silver has everything planned out to make it his best birthday ever, though he was kept in the dark about it. Pearl will do the job of bringing him to the casino since it's where the small party is gonna be happening. Everything is ready, Uncle Edward and Kara helped her a lot, but Silver gasped when she remembered she hasn't picked his gift from the accessories shop. She was supposed to go pick it last night, but the rain ruined her chances, so now she has to rush. She left the casino in her car, and two of Master X's men followed her in another car immediately, guarding her. The shop is not very far from th
They were already kissing as he entered the room and shut the door behind them.★MCCALL'S MANSION* Hyce came down from his car with Isaac right in front of the mansion, and he took a deep breath as he stared at the building. It's been almost a year since he was disowned after he almost ruined his family, but he got an invitation to dinner yesterday, and he's more than happy to be here. He took Isaac's hand and went in with him. They met the whole family at the dinning room. General McCall, then the mother... Mrs. McCall who's also a General. The brother is on seat too, the barrister. They all got called back to their workplaces already after Romeo and Jeremy confessed to the warehouse shootout. "Good evening here" Hyce smiled. "Good day" Isaac added
Her eyes widened.★ A WEEK LATER, GRAVEYARD* Pearl decided to come alone. Morgan has already told everything she heard that day, and what hurt her the most was her finding out that her real father was Richard, she couldn't stop crying as she remembered all the pains she as been through. She's holding a black bouquet of flowers as she came out of a white car beside the road. She shut the door and walked grievously towards the grave. Tate and Adrian were buried close to each other, and they're the only ones in the site. She bought it specially in their names. If that's the only thing she gets to do in their names, then so be it. They ruined her life to this level anyways, and if Roonie hadn't appeared, she'd have probably been long dead She dropped the wreath
★ "You might wanna join them" Hyce replied, tilting his head Romeo went silent immediately. "Good" Hyce nodded, lifting his frame from the car. "Death should be your only option, but you both have to get arrested and tell the cops what you did, including the warehouse saga. That way, my family can get their places back in the law frame" He said, and almost immediately, three cops cars came to a fast stop right beside them. Immediately they saw the cops, they ordered for an ambulance too. "What happened here?" One of them asked Hyce. "ask these two?" Hyce replied, pointing at Romeo and Jeremy. He winked at them before getting in his car, zooming off. He drove directly to Isaac's place, getting a gift on his way there. Isaac was already waiting in front of the mansion, and immediate
