A woman is supposed to compromise in all situation. That is what we have ingrained in our mind. Even if her husband cheats on her, once he apologizes everything is forgotten. But is it that easy? This story is about a girl with a cheating husband who came in her life by an arranged marriage. They were engaged from childhood, the cheating husband I am talking about was very much in love with her. But as some misunderstandings occurred, he began to distance himself from her. With time hatred took over his love for her which lead him to cheat even when they were married. But is that an enough of a reason? What happens when he finds out he was wrong all the time and apologizes for his deeds?

I am Pearl Bennett and at the age of 24. I graduated in fashion designing from NYU, that's last year. My mother expected me to join the family business, but I wanted to open a boutique on my own and my father supported me on this. With the status of my family, I really don't have to work but I wanted to make an identity of my own. My family was very supportive though.
When I told my family that I need inspiration for my designs, they helped me to travel various countries like France, Germany, China, India and many more. Because I can only know their culture by seeing them from near and thus making my designs extraordinary.
My walk in closet is full of various types of clothes, shoes, ornaments and countless other accessories. I have three cars for my own. To meet up to my every demand, my family made sure that efficient people worked for me.
I was named Pearl by my granny because in her prospect I am very precious. By the love my family showered me with, I always felt myself precious indeed. Just like my name.
My father is managing his family business and owns many malls, hotels and so on. My mother is from one of the richest families of America. My elder brother Christen is helping papa in business and my evil twin brother Armin is trying to start his own hotel business.
I think I was made by God on a Sunday, because in my 5 feet 6 glory I am drop dead gorgeous. The girls hate me and back-birch about me. As if I care! It is not my fault that I am perfect in all perspective. But they try to always please me and almost beg to be my friend cause that's where all the attentions are.
I was always treated like a princess as I am the only daughter of the family. I can have all of the luxuries I want and support from my family. But they want only one thing in return and that is to marry Ryan Anderson who is the only son of Robin Anderson, one of the closest friends of my father.
Ryan Anderson has the looks of Hugo Boss's model and is the most eligible bachelor of America. He can be the hero of any CEO-employer love story as he is the CEO of his father's company. Only if he was having a relation with one of his employees! I know too cliche to handle, right?
He is now 26 years old and soon won't be a bachelor anymore, since we'll be married. I am actually happy that I will marry him. It is not like that Nathaniel Morrow will be interested in me anyways, so why not a Hugo Boss model!
Thinking who is Nathan, right? He is my neighbor and a long time crush. He is a doctor and in France for a seminar right now. I hoped all my life I will have a love life with the guy next door. But he doesn't even look at me while the other boys are dying to be my boyfriend.
I did my best to attract him without looking desperate but in no avail. If he had liked me back I would have pursued my family to let me marry him. But he didn't.
The only other boy who doesn't look at me is Ryan himself. He is always typing on his phone whenever he visits us along with his father. I know he is a businessman and he tends to be busy. But still I am a little bit curious what he does on that all the time.
I always wanted a fairytale where the princess marry the prince and lives happily ever after.
With him I can have my happily ever after, can't I?
Ryan's POV:
Ryan Anderson. That's me. I was nominated as the most eligible bachelor last month by a famous magazine. I got my graduation degree in business administration from Columbia.
All girls want to be my wife even if it lasts one day. I have slept with many women until I met Natalie Hemming. She is my PA as well as my girlfriend. She is not like all the women who spends hours in order to keep themselves beautiful and slim. Instead, she is very simple and caring. After meeting her I don't even feel to go on a date with anyone. At first, she didn't trust me to be my girlfriend but I am an Anderson and Andersons get what they want. So, I made her believe in me and that I won't ever think about anyone in my life except her. She believed me but she always feels insecure. She has the right reasons for that because in every functions where media is involved I have to take Pearl with me. This hurts her and I can understand that. It breaks my heart to see her in pain. But I don't have any other option.
Pearl. This girl gets on my nerves. There is nothing special about her. She is like every other girls whose family has billions of money. She has a curvy figure and men on her feet. It irritates me cause she is always acting like she is very sweet. I mean who is she is kidding! Anyone with eyes can see that she is a bitch. But for some unknown reason, I can't deny the attraction I feel towards her even after so many years of being engaged to her which makes me guilty because I feel like I'm cheating on Natalie. Okay, don't give me that look. I know I'm actually cheating on Pearl but it's not like she is any better than me.
If you are thinking then why I'm engaged to her then let me tell you, it is because my father wants me to marry her because she is his closest friend's daughter and like a daughter to him. In the beginning, I didn't have any problem with that. In fact, I was really excited to have her as my fiancé. But as the time passed, I came to know the real her. So now, if I could I would have broke the engagement with Pearl and proposed Natalie. But this will anger my father and I can't afford that.
May the god saves me from marrying her.
Two Years laterPearl's POV:With a glass of Champagne in my hand, I looked over the party which was thrown to celebrate my success in the fashion world. After the project with Benedict, I never had to look back as more and more works kept coming and soon I was not only the daughter of an influential man but made a name of my own. People are now excited to wear my designs and my name is being written on multiple magazines.Things were tough, but I was a survivor and that got me the chance to see my loved ones being proud of me and gathered under one roof."Congratulations, sister." Armin's voice made me look back, I didn’t even realize someone was walking towards me."Thank you. Are you back for good?" After Lou got married to Alexander last year, Armin left the country and went to Brazil. This boy always kept everything to himself, so I never got to be sure that he was in love with my best friend."Yeah, thinking of staying here from now on." He smiled, stuffing his hands in his pock
Pearl's POV:"So, when are you going to agree to the divorce?"There I said the words I was agitating over. The decision wasn't made in a hurry, I thought over and over again, if I could just let everything go and give him a chance. Believe I tried my best but I could not, not when I knew everything would become really toxic, if I do that as I can never actually get over this and never feel the love if should have between us as a couple. So why should I stretch a relation like that when I could already assume what was going to so obviously happen in the future?Yes, forgiveness comes from the greater person, but I never want to be someone great when I couldn't even afford being that and will end up being the bad person anyway because I wouldn't let go?So, even if it hurt, I wanted to part ways. I wanted to talk on this the moment I came back but I wanted live a few moments as his wife which I never was. For a tiny moment, I found myself picturing what would be it like if I just stay.
Ryan's POV:Oh my God, did Pearl leave?That's the first thought that came to my mind as soon as I woke up from sleep. My neck made a cracking sound as I sat up in a hurry. Somewhere between the middle of the movie I fell asleep on the couch. And my shoulder felt stiff.May be because of my awkward sleeping posture.Ryan do you really have so much time to think about that?My innerself snapped at me while I was going over all that. It was right though, what if Pearl already left?No no that can't happen. I didn’t even get to talk to her about our issues.I ran towards the bedroom in a rush to check if she was there or not and she was sleeping on the bed like a princess who was waiting for her prince to come and wake up her with a kiss.But I didn’t think that she would appreciate that, so I left the room with a sigh to go to the kitchen to see what was being made for breakfast as she would be hungry when she would wake up."Ryan, you didn’t leave for the office yet? It's already 9." M
Pearl's POV:Standing in front of the door of our.. Ryan's penthouse I took a deep breath before dialing the code hoping that it didn’t change. A click from inside confirmed that it didn’t. Pushing open the door I dragged my luggages inside with me and looked around to see if there was anyone who could help me with them and Anna rushed to me all of a sudden indicating that she noticed me before I could."Ma'am, it has been so long. How have you been?" Genuine concern was vivid in her eyes as I smiled tiredly."I have been really busy, Anna. Hope you all were doing good?" Anna bobbed her head confirming that they were. "I'm glad. I'm going to take a shower before getting some shut eyes. Can you tell Martha to cook something chinese for the dinner? Oh and bring the luggages in the bedroom, will you?"Anna nodded but her eyes expressed the want to ask some questions. I noticed but chose to ignore as I walked to the bedroom I and Ryan used to share. Every question will be answered in due
Pearl's POV:Coffee, I needed a coffee right then. With all the noises happening around me, my migraine was coming back in full forces and nothing but a cup of coffee could save me. But that darn thing was no where to be found."Mrs. Anderson, Giselle is looking for you." A spot boy informed me while I was looking for coffee earnestly around the set."Hmm? Can you bring me a cup of coffee first, please?" I requested as I couldn’t concentrate on anything else."But I have to deliver these to the cameraman." He nodded towards the boxes in his both hands, I didn’t even notice them before, "But I can being it to you after this?""That would be really nice of you." I smiled at him apologetically and he went to get his job done."Why the long face?" A cheery voice came from behind me. Turned out, it was Benedict's voice."I have a headache from migraine and you didn’t make any arrangement for coffee here." I complained as I started looking for Giselle."So why are you not resting then? And
Ryan's POV:"Mrs. Anderson called again and I said you are in a meeting." Mr. Baker said after he knocked the door."Thank you, Mr. Baker. Is there anything else?" I said in my business tone without looking up to him."You have an appointment with Mr. Salvador after lunch. That will be all, Sir." He informed me as he waited for me to dismiss him."I'll remember that. Let me know if Pearl calls again." Saying that I opened another file to check that after closing the one I had in my hands."Ok Sir, then I'll take me leave." in reply to that I just nodded my head.Pearl had been calling me for weeks, but I didn’t want to contact her before I had confidence to face her, and there was my father who didn’t budge even a little bit, no matter how many times I asked him for forgiveness. So, when my own birth father wasn’t ready to forgive me, to expect that from Pearl was a luxury itself.About Natalie, I offered to help her to get a job but she refused to take my help and said that she wasn’
