Pearl Gem

My eyes flutter open, and I lay still for a long time, wondering where I am and how I got here. Slowly, I try to rise, but I can’t move a muscle, so I remain where I am, fighting to get energy back into my veins, fighting to remember what happened.

I had seen Drizzel in the arms of His Majesty, and a sharp pain had clawed through my chest, stealing my breath. Somehow, I managed to return to my office, sit before my computer, and pretend to work while the sound of them kissing echoed through the walls like poison in my ears.

I don’t know what he was trying to achieve. If it was payback for speaking to Prince Xerox, or to punish me for lingering too long with him in the cafeteria or maybe it was both. But whatever his reason, whatever my sin to Kade King, the punishment was far worse.

Drizzel and he had spoken openly about the dinner with her parents and brother, and I sat there like a fool, listening as each word sliced into my soul.

It was the longest hour I hav

  • The Alpha King’s Last Regret    60

    Pearl GemHe kissed me, my palm wrapped around his neck as he lifted me so easily, pinning me against the wall. I circled my legs around his waist, surrendering myself to him as though my life depended on it.Then he moved, sitting me down on the table, gently spreading my thighs so he could stand between them. His lips found mine again, kissing me hungrily until we were breathless, our lips reddened from the need. Only then did he pull back to let me breathe and I stare at him, his eyes darkened with so much lust, I could swear he would devour me whole if I let him.He looked at me like I was exactly what my name meant. Pearl. A gem.Then he leaned in to kiss me again. When he pulled back this time, his hands circled my waist, holding me tenderly.“I’m not letting you go tonight,” He said, his voice soft but commanding. And I knew he meant it. He would do exactly as he said.I wasn’t ready to leave either. Not when the lust between us hung so heavy. But then reality struck. He would

    Pearl GemIt was a cold night, and the clouds had already gathered above the dark sky.I wanted nothing more than to finish this and head home, knowing fully well that Royce would be waiting. But when the car pulled up and stopped before the serene art gallery house, I began to doubt if that would even be possible now.Slowly, I stepped out of the car and walked ahead, aware of Riven following quietly behind me. His presence made me tense.I gently pushed open the door and paused, hoping he would lead the way. But he didn’t.He remained outside, staring at me for a moment before looking away. That was enough to tell me he wanted me to go in alone, as though giving his Majesty and me privacy.I made my way down the dim hallway until I reached the grandiose living room. Empty.No sign of His Majesty, though he was the one who summoned me. From where I stood, I could still see Riven waiting outside.Then my eyes shifted toward the door His Majesty had led me through the first time I came

    Pearl Gem Happiness.That one blissful feeling I only find when I’m with someone I love. Bright. My parents. My best friend. No one wields my heart the way they do.At least, that’s what I thought… until Doctor Sarou’s words sank in and I realized something great. And terrifying.The first time I passed out was when I saw Kade King kissing Drizzel. The second time, I vomited blood was after hearing news of his engagement and seeing him kiss her again.The third… was last night. When it finally hit me that He’s really getting married.I made my way toward Royce’s car and slipped in beside him, lowering myself quietly.The best way to stay alive… is to stay away from Kade King and the royalties.And that’s exactly what I will do.I turned gently to Royce, and he gave me a soft smile.“Your father will be fine. I’m happy with the news,” He said and I nodded. “Thank you, Royce.”He reached out and touched my temple. I watched his brows crease into a small frown.“I’m worried about you, P

    Pearl Gem I had never been more afraid than when Royce pulled up in front of the public hospital. My heart pounded in my chest as I wondered what Doctor Sarou had to say. Deep down, I knew I hadn’t secured the moon coins for the surgery yet.I stepped out of the car gently, allowing Royce to guide me inside. His warm palm rested lightly against my back as we moved through the hallway and stopped in front of Doctor Sarou’s office. Through the glass door, I saw him seated behind his wide desk as usual.I swallowed hard, trying to steady my breath before knocking. Once he responded, I stepped inside slowly.His eyes scanned my face for a long moment before he offered a soft smile.“I have been expecting you. Come in. You too, son,” He said to Royce, who bowed in greeting.Royce walked forward, pulling a chair out for me before sitting beside me. My hands clutched my bag tightly as I waited, the anxiety in me peaking.“Pearl…”“I will get the moon coins for the surgery, Doctor Sarou,” I

    Pearl Gem The sunlight poured down on my face, and I fluttered my eyelids open to see it was morning. For a long moment, I just lay there, letting the memories of how I ended up sleeping in the hallway return. When they did, they came alongside the ache in my heart, making it hard to breathe.I remained still, allowing the agony to wash over me, and only when it passed did I finally get up, dragging my feet slowly toward my bedroom. But then my cellphone began to ring, compelling me to pause and retrace my steps back to the living room. On the worn-out couch, I reached for my bag and pulled out the phone.It was Doctor Sarou.My heart skipped a beat as I answered, not ready to hear the worst.“Pearl?” His voice came gently. I parted my lips to reply, but nothing came out at first. Silence filled the air, thick with my fear and exhaustion.“Pearl?” He repeated.“Yes…” I finally answered, my voice raspy. The doctor sighed softly.“I have news about your father. You should come down to

    Kade King I haven’t been myself all day. Maybe because I can feel it. I’m slowly losing the game. Drowning deeper into the sinkhole. The cure isn’t ready, and I have no choice but to follow the rest of my mother’s orders.She’s been different today, too. Pearl Gem. Haunted. Maybe she saw hell on her way to Majesty Corporation… or maybe she learned a truth she was never meant to know. Whatever it is, I can tell she’s been pushed past her limit.I shouldn’t have sent Pearl to my orphanage home, especially not to Fawn, Lovemore’s younger sister. But somehow… I trust Pearl more than I trust myself.I slumped into my seat and let out a ragged sigh, bowing my head. What should I do? How should I handle this? Should I let her go? Should I stop making her uncomfortable? Maybe I should let Royce, her best friend, have her. He might bring her the comfort I never could. She was always scared around me… always trembling, even when she didn’t want to.These thoughts were swirling in my mind when
