Pearl’s pov~The next morning I got set and headed out, I told no one where I was heading.I took out my phone, “Hey Tilly can you meet me?” I asked.“Yeah sure, want me to grab anything along?” she inquired, i heard a train moving in the background, “where are you are you sure you can make it to the address” I asked again, “send it to me let me take a look”I sent her the address and she agreed to meet up with me.“Okay great see you there”I booked an Uber and soon started the journey there.I decided to stop by the hospital to see Sophia first, I bought her a teddy bear to keep her company.She was excited the see me, “are you okay Sophie?” I asked giving her a big kiss on her cheek, I was glad to see they had moved her to the regular room.The doctor came in, “Miss Cavill” he started, “Dr Thompson” I greeted.“Im glad to see you are in good health, any dizziness, or fainting spells, are you sleeping okay?” he asked.“Im fine dr Thompson im, not the patient here” I laughed, and he

Pearl’s pov~My head was still spinning from all that had just happened. All I saw was the cops slap handcuffs over Nico’s wrist before the ambulance took him away and they wouldn't let me go with him because I wasn't a direct relative.My phone rang disorienting me, “Pearl your phone, are you okay?” she asked, touching my shoulder, I jumped back scared to death.“I'm sorry,” I said almost immediately, she shook her head, “You don't have to apologise that was terrifying, how did a bomb get there, if Nico had not come in time, we could be dead right now” she retorted.And she was right, yet again Nico has risked his safety for me.Why?Why does he keep risking his life for a total stranger to him, ‘he is protecting his daughter’s blood bank’ I thought.The phone rang again, and with my shaking hands I picked it up, “Hello?” I answered.“Pearl? Are you okay? It's Adam, Nico just called me right now and said there was a bomb…”“He saved me…” I started, interrupting him, but the line went

PEARL’S POV~When I eventually got home you could bet there was hell waiting for me, my mind was entirely occupied with a lot of things.Getting Nico out of this shitpile he got himself into, for him to give me power of attorney over Sophie it means he trusted me to make the right choices for her.And that means protecting her from all this shitstorm he had plunged us into. A few months ago he was a total stranger I met at a fundraiser and now it seems he had taken over a good portion of my life.My phone rang just as I was about to apply my last shade of powder.“Hey Adam,” I greeted before putting down the brush.“Hi Pearl are you set?” he asked, “yes I am” I replied, “Let's go through the plan again, it will help us…”“Let’s not, I already know what to do, you know your part and Tilly knows hers, that’s all you’ve got to remember,” I said, I heard him sigh then he continued, “Fine have it your way but be at the courthouse in one hour, the judge has granted us audience in chambers

ADAM’S POV~I knew I was gay the first time Andrew Rollings kissed me in high school, and my beliefs solidified after I married my first husband Richie, but now I can't seem to understand what im feeling.This tingle, roamed around my lips as her lips pressed against mine.Something bizarre had started happening in my life since the day I met this woman called Pearl Davis-Malone.She’s a force that sweeps everyone off their feet each time she makes her presence known.Most women fear me, being an associate with the most ruthless man in New York City, but not Pearl, she didnt hesitate to shut me down and that’s what intrigues me about her.And now a kiss?What am I to make of this? “Pearl!” I snapped shaking her away from me again, “Get yourself together!” I said before snapping my finger in her face.“Oh God, im so sorry Adam! I can't seem to stop these hallucinations, I thought you were..”“Nico” I finished, she looked away and something stung inside me, I couldn't understand this s

PEARL’S POV~I couldn't go home, not yet, I had to figure out how to make my promise to these Heads of industries a reality.Adam and Tilly didn't go home either, at first, he’d been irritated by me, and now it seems I've won him over.The bulb in my head blinked and I immediately got an idea that could save DM holdings.“What if we bring in a new face to transform the company’s image?” I asked. Adam turned to look at me, “think about it” I started.“What do you mean?” he asked, I gestured for Tilly to come closer, “I want you to scout for the latest discoveries or innovations you think we can acquire, something that will wow the world and reaffirm our place in the business world, logan may have shot this company in the chest but I'm not going to let it bleed out” I disclosed.I saw a hint of admiration in Adam's eyes as he turned away, “That could work, if you could get me something fast I'll get it as fast as I can legally, make sure it's something our enemies don't know about” he s
