Semua Bab A Choice to Love My Billionaire Ex Boyfriend : Bab 51 - Bab 60

Eric's POV I groaned as the pain in my head woke me, and I raised my head to massage the spot where it hurt, only for me to find a bandage wrapped around my head. ‘What?’ I said and opened my eyes, ‘What the hell is going on here?’ I asked groaning louder as I tried to sit up in bed. The door suddenly burst open and CC walked in. One look at me sitting up in bed, she sighed in relief. ‘Thank God you are awake. I am tired of babysitting already.’ ‘Babysitting who?’ I asked frowning. ‘You, of course, CC said, confusing me the more. ‘Why do you need to babysit me, CC?’ ‘You’ve been out for two days, Eric; you went clubbing and got all drunk, you vomited on yourself and hit your head after you alighted from the cab, mum found you unconscious outside with blood in your hair. The doctor said we must keep an eye on you in case you slip into a coma. Hence the babysitting,' CC explained. I held my head in pain as the memories of what happened before I passed out came back

Pearl(Crystal’s POV) ‘Be careful right there,’ Midas said as I stepped on nylon and nearly fell. He had to hold my shoulder to keep me from falling. ‘I just hope I won't regret coming here,’ I said as I held on to Midas' hands. When we had been planning to come to that place I was sure that I could pull it off but I was beginning to have mixed feelings. I had called the number on the envelope Edmond had found on the car. It was a woman who said she had information for me but she was too scared to venture out of her comfort zone. When she had sent the address, Midas and Edmond had vehemently stood against me going anywhere near there. ‘That is one of the most dangerous places in this town. If she indeed has useful information for you, she should come look for you,’ Edmond had insisted. ‘This might be a set up for all we know,’ Midas had said. ‘If the both of you put your heads together, you can come up with a plan to get me in and out of the place unscathed instead of

Pearl’s (Crystal’s) POV ‘Are you okay?’ Edmond asked after he had driven for several minutes in silence. ‘No, I am not fine Edmond. I am worried sick. I am worried for Midas. I am worried for myself. I am worried because, after several failed attempts, this person might finally stop failing and get me killed. I am not fine at all,’ I said as angry tears fell down my face. ‘Whoever this person is, will keep failing till they are caught. Midas is ready to keep you safe forever, Pearl; just trust him,’ Edmond said. ‘That exactly is my fear. What if this person decides to get rid of Midas when they think he is an obstruction to getting me? Midas is the most important person in my life right now Edmond. If anything happens to him, I will be lost,’ I said in exasperation. ‘Nothing is going to happen to you or Midas. So relax and don't get yourself worked up,’ Edmond said and I nodded. It wasn't as if I felt relieved by what he said but I had to relax since there was nothing I co

Pearl's (Crystal's) POV ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please can I have your attention?’ My Dad said from the podium just as the music went off and we all turned to face him. My stepmom stood beside him, hand in hand, smiling happily. When she caught my eyes, she winked, and I smiled at her; she was sometimes childlike in her way of showing happiness. There was silence in the hall before he continued speaking. ‘Thank you all so much for gracing this occasion. We, the Rotmans, are grateful for your presence here, whether you are a friend or colleague. In the mood of this beautiful occasion, my wife and I would like to formally introduce our beautiful daughter to you all. She is the CEO of Crystalized Pearl conglomerate. Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to you our beautiful and peace-loving daughter, Pearl Rotman,’ my dad said, pointing in my direction as the whole hall erupted with loud clapping. I couldn't help but blush as I went up the podium; I had not been in the presence of so m

Crystal’s POV I sat in my office as I watched the television. It had been two weeks since we handed the evidence over to the agents, and just that morning, the media was on fire with the story of how the widow of the accused person involved in the killing of Rotman's child was reopening the case to clear her husband's name. June had called to thank me when the agents had contacted her. Marilyn also got the job she interviewed for in one of Midas’ companies. Eric was still being followed by a bodyguard at a distance just to be sure that he would be safe. He had called me several times, but I didn't pick up his call. There was nothing we had to talk about. I had sent him a text telling him to call Midas or Edmond if he needed anything. And once the case was over, I was going to sever every relationship with him. There was a knock on my office door bringing me back to the present. I asked the person to come in, and my stepmum playfully poked her head in. ‘Hey mum’ I greeted
