Pearl looked down. Her shirt was completely wet and her bra was easily visible. She closed her eyes and a tear fell down from her eyes. She has never felt so humiliated. She pulled her shirt close. which was wrapped around her.

She slowly made her way from the rooftop towards her room.

Everyone who passed by her side gave her a sympathetic look.

Bang!

Pearl closed the door behind her and slid down on the floor. Her eyes were red and her body was shivering.

" You got this. " She whispered.

" Pearl, open the door. "

" Pearl…"

Knock! Knock!

" Pearl.. Are you okay? Open the door! "

She heard Daniel calling for her to open the door, but she couldn't. She couldn't let him see her. Not like this.

" I'm okay.. Just sleepy " She tried to hide her trembling voice with a yawn.

" Pearl.. "

" I know what happened there "

Silence…

The door opened revealing a girl with red eyes and wet shirt. Her hair was messy and her small body was trembling.

" Oh! Come here " Daniel pulled her in his arms and she broke into uncontrollable sobs.

He caressed her back to calm her down.

" I am so sorry I couldn't protect you " He apologised again and again.

" My dad needed me so I had to go. " He added.

Pearl nodded her head and pulled herself out of his arms.

" He is so scary! " She sobbed.

" He was just targeting me. "

He rubbed her hair while she sobbed in his arms. While the couple were having a moment someone was burning in the flames of love and hatred.

Lucas punched the mirror before him. He wanted to kill Michael, how dare him touch her!

He sat on his bed with his bleeding hand. The blood fell on the white sheet painting it red.

Red, the colour of love and hatred.

He took out his phone and dialled a number. " Get me the information about Pearl Hart. Now."

Half an hour later he sat on his couch staring at the document in his hand.

Name : Pearl Hart

Age : nineteen

Colour : fair.

Hobbies: reading and dancing.

Family members : Lives with Father and mother.

Relationship status: never had a boyfriend.

He continued to read further and the frown between his brows increased.

" Pearl Hart, " He whispered, smirking. " Wait till I make your life a living hell. "

After an hour of crying she finally calmed down.

She looked at the boy before her. He had his eyes shut and his thick eyelashes casted a shadow on his handsome face. His hair was messy from running his finger through them, but it did nothing to his handsomeness. He was tired so he slept while calming her down.

Suddenly she felt guilty. She raised her hand to remove his arms around her but her hand was caught mid way. " Where are you going? " He asked. Pearl's heart skipped a beat hearing his sleepy voice.

" No… nowhere in particular "

She was nervous from his continuous and intense staring.

He pulled her closer and held her cheeks in his palm. " Do you remember what I once told you? " He looked in her eyes and she looked down. Avoiding eye contact.

" Look me in the eye Pearl " He held her chin and raised her face. She looked at him with those innocent eyes of hers.

" Hmm? "

" Yeah.. To stay away from him " He nodded.

" Why did you go there? "

Pearl closed her eyes remembering all the humiliation she had to go through.

" I did not go there. He took me there. " She didn't go there willingly, she was dragged to the rooftop. She was taken there so that he could bully her. She remembered using her phone when her room was pushed open and a boy named Michael entered. He said his boss needed her. She refused to go, but he dragged her there, before that monster.

He was the same boy who tried to touch her.

" You don't have to worry about him anymore. I got this. " Daniel rubbed her hair and she nodded.

Daniel got out of her room. Closing the door behind him softly.

He made his way to the first floor and stood before Lucas' room.

He raised his hand to knock but stopped when he heard noises coming out of his room.

" Ah! "

" Ah! Lucas.. You are the best! "

" Ah! "

" Yeah! "

" Like that! "

" Ah! "

He dropped his hand to his side and turned back to go, but stopped mid way.

" Ah! Pearl! "

" Pearl, do you like it? "

Daniel stopped in his tracks when he heard this. His hands started shivering and his eyes looked murderous.

There was only one girl with this name and it was her!

Lucas continued to moan her name. He was imagining her under him. The girl under him didn't seem to mind it or she was too scared to ask. They continued and their breathing turned heavier and heavier.

Half an hour later the door to his room opened and a girl with messy hair and uneven clothes walked out.

Lucas looked at her standing at his door. "

"Close the door behind. "

She rolled her eyes and walked out.

Lucas stared at the ceiling and her face flashed before his eyes. He closed his eyes, smiling.

His phone started ringing and he picked it up. His smile faded almost immediately after seeing the caller Id.

He moved it close to his ear. " What do you want? "

Lucas's annoyed voice was heard from the other end. Daniel wanted to punch him right at that moment, but he calmed himself down.

" Come to the rooftop. "

After saying this Daniel hung up on him. He placed his phone to his side and stared at the sky full of stars.

Lucas started at the phone screen. He couldn't believe he hung up on him.

" Dam* rascal! " He cursed under his breath and made his way towards the rooftop.

" I don't have enough time to chit chat with you."

Lucas saw Daniel sitting on the floor staring at the sky. He wanted to punch him so bad.

" Do you still blame me for what happened back then? " Daniel spoke slowly.

Lucas punched him right on his face and the two figures engaged in punching and pushing each other on the rooftop.

Pearl slept peacefully without having any idea of the havoc which was created for her.

    It is said, time heals everything, but it is not always true. Sometimes the wound becomes even worse with time and the same goes with the unexpressed feeling and hatred. Lucas punched Daniel screaming in his face. " You dam* rascal you killed her! " He kicked him in his abdomen and Daniel spitted blood. "... And you dare ask me if I still blame you? " He grabbed him by his shoulder and pushed him against the railing grabbing his neck. " I blamed you yesterday and will continue blaming you for the rest of my life! " He removed his hand which was holding his neck and Daniel broke into a series of uncontrollable coughs. " It.. It was not my fault.. Cough! " It was not me who was driving… Daniel rubbed his neck and stared at the boy before him. Lucas stared at him with his red eyes filled with tears. " Lucas… Daniel moved forward. He felt bad seeing him so helpless" Get lost! " Lucas gave him one last look before turning back. " Stay away from her. She is not involved in

    Everyone has at least once encountered someone who left a very deep impact on our life. Someone who will always be a sensitive topic in our life. Someone who will always remind ourselves of our past and this is life. Pearl woke up from her not so pleasant sleep. Her eyes were puffy and her face looked tired. She got out of her bed and entered her bathroom. Half an hour later she locked her room and knocked on her neighbour's door. The door opened after five seconds, revealing a dashing man. Dressed in his black uniform. " Early. are we? " " No "Daniel moved back for her to enter and closed the door behind. " Didn't you sleep well? " Daniel asked observing her puffy eyes and tired face.

    Incomplete love stories are beautiful until they are not yours. Pearl walked in the green playground. She heard students shouting, laughing and enjoying their life to the fullest. She couldn't do it, she had a promise to fulfil. She has to make her parents proud. She couldn't enjoy her life as these students who were born with silver spoons in their mouths. Pearl felt alone even when she was surrounded by so many people. Suddenly she felt cold. She raised her hands to cover her arms. She didn't have her blazers as she had left them in her classroom. Suddenly she felt something warm being dropped around her shoulder. She paused to look at him. Dark eyes looked at her. " Daniel.. She saw him smile at her. He took her hand and led her to the bench. " Where is your blazer? " Daniel looked at her up and down. She looked so innocent wrapped in his big blazer. Pearl pulled his blazer closer. She bit her lips.

    I would be your trust even when you will have no one around to trust. I would walk with you through your darkest path till you find your light. I would love you even when you would find it difficult to love yourself. I would be happy to be reminded by you when you no longer need me by your side.Pearl entered the sports room. She peeked inside. " Sir, you were looking for me? " She got no reply in return. " Sir, are you there? " Suddenly she was pulled inside in the darkness and the door closed behind her with a bang. " Ah! " Pearl screamed when she felt a hand pulling her inside. She was pinned to the wall. " Who is that? " Pearl heard her sports teacher outside. She tried to scream for help, but she felt a hand on her mouth. " Scream and I will make sure you regret it " Pearl's blood ran cold hearing his voice. It was him! She wanted to bang her hand against the wall to come here alone. After waiting for so long the sports teacher got no reply. He thought he had mistake

    Sometimes we feel alone even in the crowd. Daniel stared at the girl before him. She was unconsciously lying on the infantry bed. Her face was pale as if every drop of her blood was drawn out of her petite body. Daniel blamed himself for her condition. He shouldn't have lost control of himself in front of her. She was genuinely scared. " Don't worry she will be alright, young man " The infantry teacher parted his back. " She is just in shock " Daniel nodded. He knew she lost consciousness because she was scared and shocked. Pearl struggled to open her eyes but she couldn't. " Pearl.. " I am sorry.. Daniel held her hand. He saw her eyes move and finally she opened her blue eyes. " Pearl! " Daniel helped her sit up. His movement was slow and soft in order to not move the iv wire. " Are you in pain? " Pearl turned her face to look at him. It was the same face which was abusing Lucas just a while ago, but it showed the expression of concern. She looked at his hand which was

    I could look at your face for a lifetime without getting bored. The door was pushed open and a petite figure got in. All the eyes in the room turned towards her. Pearl walked inside and stood before them. She looked confident and there was not a single expression of fear or anxiety on her face. " Pearl, you shouldn't be here " Daniel stepped forward and held her hand. " How are you feeling? " Mister Ashbluff looked at his son, shocked. He couldn't believe, his son was showing so much concern and affection towards a woman. It was the first time he saw him like this. Lucas rolled his eyes at them. " I am fine " Pearl smiled. Mister Whitlock looked at the girl before him carefully. She was beautiful and her innocent blue eyes were shining like stars. No wonder his son liked her. Mister Whitlock turned towards his son. He saw him staring at her. " Aren't you going to talk to her? " Lucas glared at him. He was already frustrated. " So, you are Pearl Hart? " Mister Ashbluf

    Pearl's eyes met with Daniel's. She froze in her spot. Her brain turned blank. Lucas saw her staring at the door and he followed her eyes and turned towards the door. He found Daniel standing there. His hands were tightly clenched into a fist. His face showed only one expression. The expression of hurt. " Da.. Daniel.. Pearl stood up and moved closer to him. " It's.. It's not what you think " Daniel continued to stare at Lucas. He never once looked at her. He stood there as if he had not seen her at all. " Daniel.. He pushed her hand back which was going to touch him. Pearl looked at him with tears in her eyes. She had no idea what she was thinking earlier. She couldn't have stopped him, but she didn't. " Get a chill pill bro. It's was just a kiss " Lucas smirked. He knew he was getting on his nerves.

    Even when you are gone I feel you close, you'll always be the one I love the most. Lucas stared at the frame with teary eyes. He missed his mother everyday, but something was different about today. He missed her so much. Maybe because he felt really alone today. It was night time and Lucas finally opened his door. He came down dressed in his t-shirt and pants. " Uncle brown, what's for dinner? " " It's your favourite chicken, young master " Uncle brown smiled. He was very happy today. Lucas seldom returned to this villa and today was one of the few lucky days that he came back. " So, should I order them to bring dinner for you? " Uncle brown rubbed his hand. He was very excited. " I will wait until father arrives " Uncle brown nodded his head. " Yes yes " He was happy that he wanted to eat with his father. Finally the father and son will spend some time together.

  • Wrapped The Bully Around My Fingers   Pearl

    The castle is quiet when I return—too quiet. My footsteps echo down the stone hallways, the torches flickering on the walls as if reacting to my presence. The shadows here don’t whisper like they did in the graveyard, but they linger all the same. I keep my head down as I move through the halls, fingers curled tightly in my coat sleeves. The dirt from the grave still clings to my skin, under my nails, and I feel like I’ve brought something back with me. Something that doesn’t want to let go. Lucas isn’t here. The thought drops into my mind like a stone in water, rippling through everything. No echo of boots in the corridor. No impatient voice behind a closed door. No sharp, observant eyes following me. He’s gone. Somewhere far from here tonight. That should bring relief, but instead it leaves a hollow space. Because now, I’m alone with everything I’m afraid to think about. In the room, I lock the door behind me and head straight to the washbasin. The water’s already cold. I

    I found her in the west corridor this time, standing by the tall stained-glass windows that bathed the hallway in shards of color. Evelyne. Or at least—that’s who she truly was. She turned when she heard my footsteps, her practiced smile snapping into place, all sweetness and lies. A chill ran down my spine. She looked exactly like me, like Roslyn Miller. she was Rosie. But, I wasn't seeing the stranger she pretended to be anymore. I was seeing her. My sister. The girl who used to braid my hair too tight and steal the last slice of birthday cake. The girl who cried in my arms when she got nightmares. She'd grown. Taller. Sharper. More dangerous. But there was still something familiar in the set of her mouth, the guarded look in her eyes. Something broken. I stopped a few feet away, and for a second, neither of us said a word. The weight of everything we weren't saying pressed down on my chest like a stone. Finally, she spoke. Casual. Breezy. "You keep fo

    It had been a week. Seven days of pretending to be Pearl. Of swallowing down the truth like a secret that might rot me from the inside out. No one noticed. Not really. They still called me by the name that wasn’t mine. Still treated me like the girl who arrived at the academy dazed and forgetful. Still saw the version of me they expected to see. But I saw it. In the mirror. In the way I stood. The way my voice had softened, lilting into the same cadence Rosie used to have when she whispered to the stars from her bedroom window. I saw it in the way my fingers reached up—absent, automatic—to tuck my hair behind my ear whenever I was nervous. Just like she used to do. Just like I used to do. Rosie was slipping out of me like light through cracked glass, and I didn’t know how to stop it. And Lucas… he noticed something. I could feel it. He didn’t say anything. But I’d catch him staring sometimes, brow creased in that quiet, careful way of his—like he was trying to

    And I screamed and screamed as loud as I can to stop the voices in my head, to hush them from consuming me entirely. The room was pitch-black, but I could still see the flames. Still hear the screech of tires, the shattering glass, the last words my mother ever said to me—Rosie, close your eyes. And I had. For years. But now they were open. Wide open. And everything hurt. The door slammed open. I barely had time to breathe before he was there—Lucas, heart in his throat, panic in his eyes. “Pearl!” He was at my side, hands cupping my face like I might vanish. “What happened? Are you okay?” I couldn’t speak. Not right away. Because looking at him felt like bleeding. He was older now. Broader. More haunted. But he still had the same eyes—the ones that used to look at me like I was his world. Not Pearl. Rosie. And that was the part that shattered me most. He was holding me like I was someone else. Like I was a girl with a different name, a different story. But I

    The candlelight is low. Flickering. Dying. I walk barefoot down a hallway lined with mirrors—dozens of them, tall and arched, gilded in gold that’s flaking away. The floor is marble, but my footsteps don’t echo. It’s like the air itself is swallowing the sound. Heavy. Watching. My dress clings to me, unfamiliar. Pale gold, stitched with roses. I don’t remember putting it on. Everything smells like rosewater and smoke. I pause beside a mirror. My reflection stares back, but there’s something off. I lean closer. The tilt of my head, the shape of my mouth, the line of my shoulders—it’s all right, and yet… wrong. Like I’ve seen this face on someone else. It’s me. Of course it’s me. But my stomach tightens. I force myself to look away. That’s when I see him. Daniel, standing at the far end of the corridor, dressed in black, shadows curled around his shoulders like a cloak. He holds a bouquet of roses—blackened, wilting, soaked in something that drips down his wrist.

    I press the phone to my ear and glance at the stars. The rooftop is cold beneath me, slates hard against my back. The wind carries that soft chill that always makes me feel like something’s about to shift.My mom’s voice comes through the speaker, warm and clipped with concern.“You sound tired, sweetie. Are they overworking you again?”I let out a breath—half a laugh, half exhaustion.“No, it’s fine. Just a lot of assignments.”A pause.“And late-night walks,” I almost add. “And watching someone unravel.” But I don’t.She hums thoughtfully. I can hear her stirring something, probably tea. Home always sounds like comfort.“Have you made any new friends yet? You never talk about anyone there.”I hesitate, then lie.“Yeah. A few.”She doesn’t press. She never does. Maybe she thinks I’m just quiet. Or maybe she’s learned not to dig when I’m like this—floating somewhere far away from where my body is.“Your father says hi,” she says. I can hear him grumbling in the background, something a

    I’ve always hated mirrors.They show too much. Too honestly.But now—Now, I can't stop staring.The girl in the glass tilts her head. She’s beautiful in that haunting, aristocratic way. Rosie Miller’s beauty was always cold, like marble warmed by candlelight.And now… it’s mine. Mother did everything so that I look like her. The cheekbones took two surgeries. The lips were easy—subtle filler and muscle memory. I even learned how she blinked. Slowly. Like she knew the world would wait for her.I lean in, brushing a lock of black hair behind my ear, her signature habit. I trace the light scar at my neck. A perfect replica from her dead body.Rosie was always the star. The one with the spotlight in her eyes. The chosen daughter. The heir. The girl people died for.But she’s dead now.And I’m not.I trace the curve of my jaw with one finger, still bruised faintly under the skin where the bone was shaved. Months of healing. Years of training. Voice lessons. Diary entries memorized. Even

    The wind clawed at the windows like it was trying to warn me. I stood at the edge balcony leaning against the railing. Below, the ocean was bathed in silver moonlight, still and too perfect. A lie, like everything else lately. The moon hung low tonight, pale and sharp-edged. Pearl would say it looked like a blade. My phone buzzed once on the table. The number flashed. Cale. I snatched it up. “Report.” “Sir,” he said, voice crisp, but edged with something else. Hesitation. “ I have the report .” The cold that slid through me wasn’t a surprise—it was confirmation. I said nothing. Just waited. “She’s not Rosie,” he continued. “… she’s not the one who died in that accident.” I closed my eyes. My chest didn’t rise. I was stone now. “I had to dig deep, sir. Most of the records were burned or erased, but a few medical files survived in private storage. Enough to run a sequence. And... it matched someone else.” “Who?” My voice came out hoarse, like it hadn’t been used in days. “He

    Apollo whined softly as I knelt beside him, his blue eyes watching me with quiet protest. His paw pressed against the doorframe like he understood what it meant—that he couldn’t follow me past this point. “I know,” I whispered, running a hand gently down the sleek curve of his back. “I don’t like it either. " He nuzzled my wrist, and I swallowed hard. “I’ll be back after classes, then we'll go back home, alright? You’ll be safe here.” My voice sounded too sure. Like I was convincing myself more than him. He tilted his head, ears flicking at some distant sound, but stayed close—refusing to move from the doorway. “I have to go,” I said, brushing my thumb just under his chin, where the fur was softer. “You know the rules. No panther cubs allowed in Elite Garden’s holy halls.” my phone ringed again, I looked down it was Lucas calling me. " yes, I am coming. ” That almost earned a huff from him. Almost. I smiled down at him. " it's your dad, the classes are going to start
