Chapter 71. Missing

The manager, Luke Damant, was looking at Pearl. He looked upset that she had neglected by taking more leave. She disappeared and didn’t make any effort to show her present. He came to one of the supervisors to confirm.“Where is she?” Luke asked with a cold expression. The supervisor, Miss Audrey Hamilton, nervously stood from her chair to explain.“I don’t know, Sir. I tried to call you, but it went to voice mail.”“She didn’t even turn on the phone. What the hell?” he shrieked raggedly. Miss Audrey gulped her nervous saliva but couldn’t show anything to reply. Pearl has given her such a hard time.“And you don’t bother to find her?” Luke adamantly blamed her. His sharp stare was making it difficult to breathe. His orbs suddenly glistened in such a weird way. Audrey widened her eyes suddenly.“Find her. I don’t care what are you going to do. I want her to see

Chapter 72. Into You

Their sweat collided as the desire rose in the air. Pearl had never been so drowned in temptation as she felt now to Taggart. Taggart pampered her by dominating the make-out. He smothered all over her skin from neck to collarbone. When she arched her back, it tempted him more. His vigorous kisses ran through her lips, cheeks, and neck. He licked them and tasted the beautiful skin without holding anything.Taggart held back his smile and released his grip on Pearl’s nape. One of his fingertips then touched the skin of the jaw and then down the neck. Two of his fingers then seemed to make circles on Pearl's collarbone. He felt it with his fingertips as if her skin were made of water.“I want you now. I can’t hold anymore,” Taggart hummed through his breath on her luminous skin. It glowed like a shiny pearl. She was so beautiful. It was more than just a night for them.His gaze slowly rose from beaming at her skin to her blue, mesmerizing ey

Chapter 73. Obsessed To You

After a few hours, John Rosenthal was conscious. He gasped to see his wife sleeping tiredly in a hospital room, waiting for him.“Why am I here?” he murmured. John slightly touched Sandra to wake her up. Sandra woke up and quickly pressed a call button. Doctor Billy came over, along with some nurses, to check him.“Mr. Rosenthal, how do you feel?” Billy asked, smiling. John looked confused. He had no idea about his condition.“I feel exhausted and sleepy, but why am I here?” John asked. Billy glanced at Sandra, who looked worried.“You have cancer. And we should start to prepare your treatment.”John frowned slowly, then looked at Sandra, who also looked gloomy.“What?” he whined in disbelief.“I know it will be so hard for you, but cancer is not a sentence of death anymore. There are a lot of things to do and the treatment to survive. We have to do it early.” Bil

Chapter 74. The Forgotten Princess

Taggart didn't waste time clutching Pearl's hand before getting closer to her ear."I'll try to be as gentle as possible. Don't be too tense; I want you to enjoy your first time, Babydoll." Taggart breathed in her ear. The gust of air from his breath and words gently caressed her earlobe. The warm feeling that flowed made her shiver. Her breath began to hitch, and she only took one breath at a time. It feels tight, but not because there is no oxygen. But because the adrenaline is starting to run high.There are no more theories when Pearl's mind is empty. Honestly, she never felt the warmth of a man before. She had no idea how Taggart came to change her mind in a second. The way he acted made her surrender. She would surrender and submit to whatever Taggart wanted to do. He blew her mind off by biting lightly, then moving gently from behind the skin of the ear to exploring the jawline, neck, and finally, the collarbone.Taggart is good at playing with his tongue

Chapter 75. Her Light

Taggart, the CEO of Excellor, didn’t want to let go of Pearl like Everest wanted, but a manager decided to order her instead.“Who is that guy?” Taggart scolded annoyingly.“It’s not about who he is. You are breaking the company's rules and professionalism if you abuse your power over him. Miss Rosenthal is under Luke Damant. She has to report, or Luke can fire her,” Everest explained. Taggart snorted more. He gritted his teeth while peeking at the door. Pearl was still inside his private room, where she had to take much time to rest after the mating.“I’m the owner, CEO, and manager. Can I fire my mate? What the hell, Ev!”“I’m sorry, Sir. But once you break the rule, there will be trouble.”Taggart took a sigh while putting his hand on his hip. He was considering letting Pearl go. He was not assuming anything. After a few seconds, he finally agreed.“Fine. I&rsqu

Chapter 76. The Third Wheel

Damian has been a bit off lately. After confronting Taggart, he doesn’t find any solution to get closer to Pearl, so he takes a holiday instead. He just returned from Ireland to stay at one of the Bronckhorsts ’ this morning. His father was not around, and he didn’t keep up with any plans. However, he called Alonzo only to make sure that he stayed alive.“After all these thoughts, I think you are right, buddy. Chasing Taggart is worth it. So I called my sister, and she came to get him.” Damian smirked to hear the enthusiasm. It was something he suggested to Alonzo before leaving.“Now you see that my plan would work,” Damian added confidently.“Of course. By the way, the girl is disappearing now.” Now Damian frowns suddenly.“What? You mean Pearl has disappeared?”“Yeah. I heard from your dad that her father is getting sick in the hospital. Moreover, Bruce Kellent has withdrawn
