PEARL’S POV~“Yes Tilly, just until he regains his memory,” I said, “wait hold up, look I've got a man, and I dont think he’d understand I have to pretend to be someone else’s wife” she complained.I scoffed, “didnt seem like that earlier” I whispered, with a little jealousy.“Excuse me?” she asked trying to understand me.“it's just for some time, we already know the truth but he doesn't we need to keep him in this reality until he figures it out himself” I stated.“Im not comfortable with any of this pearl, you saw how he was acting with me earlier, he thinks im Lola!” she spat.“Tilly im sorry you are going through all of this, but I assure you it will be over in a few weeks tops, right?” glancing at the doctor.“Give or take, as long as he isn't stirred forcefully to remember, it should be fine” he finished before walking back into Nico’s room.“Im honestly not okay with this pearl, how exactly am I going to deliver this role? What do I do when he wants to get intimate?”I paused
PEARL’S POV~Tilly and I rushed over to the company as quickly as we could, I called Adam on the way and he couldn't believe such a thing had happened.“What do you mean? Didnt they inform you they were coming? Are you trying to tell me all this stuff they are doing is illegal?” I asked.“I assure you it's very illegal, no warrant nothing, this is Jeniffer Beacon’s doing,” he said.I was annoyed, “what exactly did Nico do to this woman to be so pissed off,” I asked.“I can't go into the details, it's confidential, im on my way over to the company, the new outlet has caught wind of this, they are already there,” he informed me.“Shit!” I cursed under my breath, “And Logan? What the hell is he doing to stop this, this is his company I can't believe that asshole” “I have no idea, look I've got to hang up right now, my assistant’s on the other line,” he said before hanging up.“What’s going on? I thought we already quelled the raging heads of industries” Tilly asked scrolling through soc
PEARL’S POV~Kenji sneaking in was the last thing I saw coming, “are you surprised to see me? Did you think I had died, or better yet hoped?” he asked, wheeling the chair around before settling back in front of me.“What do you want?” I asked in a shaky tone, he terrified me, memories of Kiko lying on the table shot to death formed in my thoughts.“Where’s her son?” I asked before he could get a chance to speak, “im sorry what?” he asked.“Kiko’s son, where is he? You killed his mother, you have killed him haven't you?”He laughed, “dont worry about MY son, he is safe and where he will be raised to be a strong warrior, my ultimate right hand” he smiled.I imagined the horror the young boy would face growing up, brainwashed, forced to protect the man who killed a mother he never got a chance to know.“Then why are you here, look if I'm not down in 20 minutes they are going to know something is wrong,” I said before managing to fold my hands.“Im not going to hurt you Pearl at least not
PEARL’S POV~We got to Tilly’s not long after, she slid the key into the lock as I leaned on the door tired and worn out from a toxic and terrifying day.“I could almost die from exhaustion Tilly, can't wait to have a long nice bath,” I said with a groan.She gave a small laugh, “Well you got me this apartment, take all the time you need soaking away” She smiled as she pushed the door open.We stepped in and the image before us terrified me instantly.A young able-bodied man lay naked on the couch, a puddle of roses covered his private parts and the entire floor, and a rose clenched between his teeth.“Oh shit!” he exclaimed, grabbing a pillow to hide his huge junk, I quickly turned away.“Oh my God babe! Why are you here, I told you I was working late tonight” she yelled rushing to cover the rest of him.“I didnt know you were bringing someone over I wanted to surprise you, shit, who is she?” he inquired, I turned seeing he had covered up with sheets.“Hi” I smiled stretching my hand
PEARL’S POV~ I froze in my step, “Um this is not what it looks like, I was just on my way to ask about you” I started, whispering as the couple moaned in pleasure.“If I'd known there was going to be a show I'd have come in a little earlier” he smiled, I pushed him away from the way and took a step forward when he pulled me back.“I think this is the right spot to talk about our merger” he stated, I turned to him.I could hear pounding sounds coming from their room and they moaned in pure pleasure.“Right here?” I asked.“Yes, right here Miss Cavill” he replied.“Pearl please,” I retorted, “this isn't appropriate August” I continued, “Maybe it's not the conventional thing but im interested in how this courting turns out, so tell me, what else do you like to do apart from watching people fuck, im guessing this isn't you're first” he smiled.I was embarrassed and my cheeks flushed in shame, “No I dont do this! Look like I explained im…”“Are you a prude? You used to be married right?”
TILLY’S POV~Jason pushed his dick deep into my pussy and I moaned his name, he grabbed onto me and I clung to him desperately, “oh Jason yes” I moaned loudly, clinging onto the sheets.But my eyes were wide open, I thought about that brief eye contact with Angelo, the way his eyes ravaged me.“ are you sure you want this?” he asked.“Yes!” i exclaimed.Bur am i?Do I really want Jason right now, or do I want something else?His dick was doing just fine. I just didn't know if it was what I wanted right now.Do i not want jason.“Are you sure?” he moaned again before plunging it deeper and deeper.“Yes” I moaned, “I want it” I whispered before licking his ears. But i couldnt stop thinking about that moment, what if, just what if pearl and sophie werent in the room that day.And it was just nico and i.In that room alone, and he had looked at me like that….What would happen?I pushed against his dick as he pounded me, “ yes Jason go deeper” Id seen it one day, Nico’s dick in passing.
NICO’S POV~Is Langdon threatening my wife again? Who the hell was that on the phone? Is she safe?My mind kept reeling over and over, I dont know what the hell happened to me but the last thing I remembered was kissing Lola goodbye before leaving for a business trip so how the hell am I in a hospital?Worse still who is that strange woman who keeps challenging me like she’s my boss?No one is the boss of me no one! I was entitled to one phone call a day and a guard was stationed outside my door all day like a prisoner, “Hey!” I called, he turned to look back and I gestured for him to come in.He shook his head and continued, “Hey! Are you deaf? What kind of soldiers does Lorenzo have guarding me!”The man shook his head again and came in, “Are you deaf or something?” I asked.“No” he replied briefly, I was shocked, what the hell gives him the right to be bold enough to speak to me like that?Something is wrong and I can feel it.“I want to walk around can you get me a cane or somet
PEARL’S POV~I looked at his face, confused, something about him felt oddly familiar and that kiss.Why has everyone chosen me to spar for a kissing contest?First Nico and now August.I stepped away from him, and in the corner of my eye, I saw Jason storm out of the house.He glared at me for a while before stepping closer, a look of dread hung over him.“Watch out for that bitch up there, she’ll cut you off when you no longer hold value” he hissed before spitting close to me.August quickly pulled me away from the thick plemgh marinating in the sand.We watched him storm away before he turned to me, “what the hell was that about?” he asked, his hand still holding mine tightly.“I have no idea, but I have a feeling I'll find out soon” I replied looking up at where Tilly’s room lay bright.Did I make a mistake bringing Tilly in? Wrapping her in all this mess with Nico?And now im going to ruin her relationship with her boyfriend.I soon heard footsteps hurrying out, we turned and it w
Pearl’s pov~The day of the pageant finally came. August was by my side as usual; he never left my side, not for one day.“Are you ready?” he asked, kissing my lips gently.I shivered under his touch. “Yeah, I am,” I smiled.“You don't have to do it if you don't want to,” he smiled back.“How are you okay with all of this, August? I'm a married woman with a baby on the way. It feels too good to be true,” I said, touching his long hair.All he did was look at me intensely and smile.“I'm not worried about anything; as long as we are together, I'm fine,” he said.“Oh August, I honestly don't deserve you,” I continued before touching his face.But all I wanted to hear at that moment was Pearlita…He took my hand and helped me up. He looked at me and he was awestruck. “You look so stunning, Pearl, so beautiful. Are you ready for your first debut? You are, after all, the face of DM Holdings,” he bragged.“No, that’s a lie Devina, all of a sudden I'm the evil mistress who won't let the ex g
Devina’s pov~I read the headline again, Rival partner Logan Davis Malone offers his 5million dollar yatch to ceo Pearl D’Angelo for peagent, amidst separation rumours from his pregnant fiancée, Miss Devina Daniels.“He did what?” I crumpled the newspaper in my hands and threw it to the ground. My sister came from around the corner, her eyes bright from her early morning jog.“What’s got you so worked up?” she asked, I fumed and pointed to the crumpled up paper on the floor beside her feet.She leaned down to pick it up, she read it and she laughed.“What’s so funny?” I asked trying to get up with my 37 weeks old belly.“Well I did tell you shitvwas going to hit the fan sooner or later, why on earth did you leave?” my sister Desiree asked, “It was getting to dangerous, I was involved in some diabolical shit I had to skip town” I replied.“Then maybe stop worrying about it and focus on your baby” she replied putting her ear pods away.“This is serious Desiree, there’s a bitch on my as
PEARL’S POV~CHAPTER: Ultrasound & Unraveling“You ratted me out to Kenji!” came a thunderous roar, Sophie was startled.I turned around and there she was Akira Watanabe, a ghost from my past. She looked furious, bloodthirsty anger surged through her, and Sophia looked scared.“Can we talk in the hallway you are scaring her” I always felt uneasy in hospitals because there was too much quietness for such painful places. With my palm lying over my bloated stomach, I strolled alone across the clean hallway. Kira was in a downward spiral about something, something I had no hand in.“What the hell are you talking about Akira?” I asked.She scoffed “back to formalities now are we?” she asked, “you are scaring my child,” I retorted.“Which of them because from the look of things you and Nico have been busy” she spat.“Why are you here Kira? You wanted nothing to do with me, remember? So why are you here?”“Did you rat me out to Kenji?” she asked. I was shocked by her statement, “how the h
NICO’S POV~I waited for Adam at the usual spot for over 3 hours, and the bastard didn't show up. This was his usual shenanigans, and I wasn't up for it.I turned to leave when I noticed a black sedan heading in my direction. I stopped and waited, hoping it was my sleek consigliere driving towards me.The car stopped in front of me, and he got out. He wore a black suit with a pink tie. I sighed. Something about him will always tick me off.“Hi, boss,” he greeted before extending an arm to me. “Adam, you said it was urgent? What the hell is so urgent that you couldnt tell me over the phone” Someone like Adam shouldn't have been noticed in the alley behind La Rue d'Or. His smell was too refined, his outfit too immaculate. However, he remained unflinching when the shadows shifted and I appeared like a menacing specter dressed in pricey wool."You're late to your own fucking meeting, Adam!" I stated in a foreboding tone.Adam looked at his timepiece. "No, I'm not. You simply lack patienc
PEARL’S POV~I wasnt going to rest, no not when a vulture perched and waited for my carcass at my doorstep, with Camille gone, the D’angelo mansion was eerily still.Which made me wonder, what if camille never really left, this house used to belong to Langdon moseley, and cammile and her dead sister grew up here.So what if somehow she was still here, I reached for my phone and called August.“Hey, Pearl, sleep okay?” he asked. I sighed, “Yesterday was wild even for me but I had to do it, im watching TV right now and all I can see is my epic failure as a CEO, some people are saying I resigned to be a supermodel” I managed a small laugh.“In your condition, I don't think it's safe enough for you to keep engaging in risky situations,” he said.“I know that August, trust me but I'll never get the peace I deserve with Camille still out there, where is she now?” I asked “Give me a second let me check, she hadnt moved from the funeral place before i slept off” he yawned.“Were you up all n
Pearl's POV~They say Grief only knows how to wear black. I said, Fuck it, and I decided to go with red.It was audacious, and people whispered before I had uttered a word, their eyes pressed on the slippery silk that hugged every curve. A pageant launch wasn't usually held at a funeral, but I wasn't your average widow. Camille was aware that Nico wasn't dead. But she was willing to take that chance to see him one last time if, truly, she was obsessed with him.Throwing my husband a funeral despite knowing he was alive would make her curious enough to know if Nico is truly dead.The headlines were already half written: *CEO Widow Honors Late Husband Nicolas D’Angelo. It was part trap and part theater. "Pearl," Adam called from beside me, adjusting the gold-trimmed suit I had asked him to wear. "This feels insane," he criticized with a shake of his head."That's the idea," I replied with a gentle smile, pinning a crimson carnation to his lapel. "We need Camille to feel comfortabl
Pearl’s pov~I saw him finally reach for the phone, and the video ended.It was like I was in a trance of some sort after that; soon after, Angelo came in, distracting my thoughts.I was both a priest and a sinner, and I gazed at the screen as though it were a confession booth.Nico's raw, gruff, and remorseful voice blasted through the speakers. Not the smirking, smooth-talking businessman that unnerved everyone. This man was losing his mind.“Pearl, are you ready? They are really calling for your head in there. You have to do or say something to dissuade them. I don't think I can hold them off for too long,” he mentioned before coming closer. “Are you okay? Is it Nico again?” he asked. I saw his hands leaning close to the laptop, and I shut it down.“No, it's nothing, just stunned,” I replied with a nod. “Just a little shaken from the row I'm about to face. With Logan there, who knows how it will turn out? He has been surprisingly calm,” I replied, distracting him from the video.He
Nico’s pov~When I met Camille, I was a 27-year-old guy with aspirations to own empires of my own.I was a good kid, well raised and brought up by Nana Rosa under the guidance of God.But the moment I saw Camille I knew God had left the conversation because Only the Devil could send a smile to meI was a young, naive he started faintly.She was an orphan, and I volunteered as a handyman.She was an odd one; at first she followed me everywhere, and I thought she was harmless, but then I saw the true Camile when Jacinta, one of the girls at the orphanage, died.She was last seen with me; well, you know how that story goes.She was going to be 18 soon, and the orphanage was going to let her go be an adult when a strange-looking man came to adopt her.That was when my woes began.She knew I wanted to become rich and powerful; she knew I wanted power above anything, so she curated a plan just for this.At first, I thought it was crazy, but she convinced me otherwise, and I went along with
NICO’S POV~A shard of glass tore through my skin and before I knew it blood had pooled on the floor where I stood.It felt like my insides were torn to pieces.Dust and smoke from the blast filled the air, I put an arm over my nose and found my way out of the blown-up station.I thought of Pearl, hoping she had run out to safety, Camile had played her game.Her dark twisted fantasy to seek her out.She always does this to get my attention, deliberately put me in trouble and I am sick of this.On my way out of there, I saw the van, and I could hear Adam and Lorenzo.Finally, safely out, I was still breathing.I took a step towards the van and realised that if I go back to my life I'll never figure out where Langdon Mosely is.I had to find him, something was off, I know I fucked his daughter but I didnt kill her somehow it seemed it was a strong enough reason to hunt me like a crazed dog.So I turned and left, I hijacked a car from its owner and I left.I headed to Queens, I knew some
