Chapter Eleven.

Fabian's POV.For the first time, in my own house, I feel uneasy. As I walk down the stairs, the only thing I think of is how to face My wife.Even though she did me dirty first-only God knows how many times-but I can't shake off the weight of fear in my chest.I meet an empty kitchen as I step inside, which is unlikely but that's not the problem, my gaze lands on the paper, and I see she's already signed it. I thought she was going to make things difficult for me, that's why I brought my secretary to spite her. It worked. I shouldn't feel bad. She cheated first. She violated our vows and made a fool out of me publicly. I tried to give her a chance she didn't deserve but she didn't want it, she still wanted to lie. Keeping me in the dark about her escapades. I've released my hold on her wings. She can fly the way she wants now. I'll not hold her down anymore.I go to the coffee machine and make a quick coffee. It took me summoning so much courage to come out of my room this morning,

Chapter Twelve.

Pearl's POV.“The police station I called is thirty minutes away from here, if they drive faster they’ll get here in twenty five minutes. You have a chance to leave before the police comes and I'll tell them the criminal ran away. Your choice.” My father goes back to lifting the dumbbells. Obviously unbothered after calling the police on me. Not like I expected much from a man who has confessed too many times that I can count that he doesn't like me. I just wonder what he really sees when he looks at me.I've thought about that a lot.“I'm not leaving, even if the police comes. I'll go with them. I'll still say what I said earlier, I want you to take me back, I'm ready to be the daughter you want,” I know I've confessed something shocking when he drops the dumbbells.“What do you know about the daughter I want?” “A smart, brave, confident and attractive woman, that can represent the Hughes family,” I roll on my knees as it starts hurting.“You think you have all the qualities to be a

Chapter Thirteen.

Pearl's POV.My brother insisted that I enjoyed my last ‘Normal’ weekend with him, so we snuck out to his penthouse that was located in the suburbs of town. He said it was his hiding place, away from Dad and the rest of the world.He said my Dad doesn't know about this place, which is shocking to me. My brother has his ways of getting away with things. He was coming to see me for seven years and he was never caught. The contract came earlier than I expected and some of the rules my father added were mean, things like; I wasn't allowed to use any of the family properties, like jets, houses, anything that belonged to the Hughes family without his consent or permission. It's not like those rules mattered to me. I've lived like that for seven years and here I am, breathing, living. Why can't I do it here? I just felt a little awkward when I saw the phrase in the contract. I'll live like a stranger in my own home.“I can't remember the last time I did this,” I say. The scorching sun heate

Chapter Fourteen.

Pearl's POV. My First day at the office in Dad's company is more chaotic than I envisioned.Everyone is so busy, my brother slips into character and I must say I admire him. I know he is smart, but I didn't know he was wicked smart. “Ms. Pearl, are you paying attention?” my brother snaps his finger at me.“Yes, Sir,” I nod, uncrossing my legs. He shoots me a fleeting smirk before putting back on his facade.My brother keeps elaborating on the recent project of the company, he assigned roles to each worker, only a handful of workers are in this meeting, this meeting consists of only senior workers. According to him, there's a board meeting in thirty minutes.He wanted to orient the workers about their new roles to enhance the project.After the meeting, everyone starts leaving and my brother calls me back.Since no one is here I can call him Paul, “What's up, Paul,” I ask. His features are stern.“I want to give you a real chance to shine. This meeting I just held wasn't really neces

Chapter Fifteen.

Fabian's POV.“Welcome sir,” My secretary greets me as I head back to the office.I just wave her off.“Is everything okay, Sir?” She asks following behind me.I snap my neck at her, “I'm good,” The firmness in my voice makes her flinch back in fear. I walk through the door of my office. My cheek is still hurting from the slap my wife gave me.I don't know who is stealing the air in my lungs or is my tie trying to strangle me, I angrily pull off my tie and toss it to the side.She has no remorse, did she even love me? She moved on so fast! I can't walk freely in my house without seeing her everywhere. In my head, in the kitchen, on the bed, our separation has taken a toll on me. And she doesn't even seem to care! I cough, I quickly get my handkerchief and clean off the blood off my mouth. I take out my pills from my pocket, throw them inside my mouth, gulp some water from the water bottle and swallow.I hear a knock and I look up, when i see who it is I look back down, “Hello, you'v

Chapter Sixteen.

Pearl's POV.“That's him right there,” Paul points to a corner in the restaurant.“He looks serious,” I say. I stop myself from saying the obvious; that the guy is more handsome than I expected. Warm, Copper Brown hair like his brother, but his is longer and bonded in a small ponytail, brooding shoulders. Razor sharp jawline, fixed nose.“He plays a big role in the family business, he should be serious,” “I’m so nervous about this arrangement, Paul,” I rub my arm with my palm.“I wish I could help. Do you have any idea?” “Set the restaurant on fire?” I say looking out the window.“You want to burn your future husband to death, I think you're the serious one now.” He takes my hand, “Don't worry, go I'll stick around, when you're done just text me,” “Thank you. You don't know much your support means to me,” “Stop thanking me silly, and please be nice to your future husband and my future brother in-law, he might be a better guy than you think, a guy who's early to his date in my own

Chapter Seventeen.

Pearl's POV.The past couple weeks haven't been all rosy, but I could cope. Even when my dad gave me overload, difficult tasks to handle, I smashed it.Told myself that if he wants to see me fail he'll wait forever. I didn't faint when I was told I'll be making my first public appearance with Philip as his girlfriend. Not like I cared about what Fabian would think of me, he'd already called me a liar and a cheat. I wasn't just comfortable with the idea for my own sake.But now, looking at Him, in his arms the same secretary that he brought to our bed, I'm having murder thoughts. And if I ground my teeth harder than this I may not have one by the end of today.“Here,” Philip comes in front of me blocking my view of Fabian, he hands me a glass of wine, the bastard is too busy chatting with his assistant he doesn't even realize I'm staring at him. I immediately gulp the wine.“Woah, woah, woah, You're not supposed to drink that at once,” “I'm sorry,” I berge. Philip grimaces. “Are you

Chapter Eighteen.

Fabian's POV.Swiveling in my chair, I know kissing Pearl was a bad idea, but that's not the problem, it's the consequence. The unwanted attention from the Media. The emotional turmoil when I remember she doesn't give a damn about anything I go through. I shouldn't have crossed parts with her in the first place. I sigh.“Sir,” My secretary's voice draws my attention.“What is it?” “There's a man here to see you,” She states.“Do I have an appointment with him?” I inquire.“No, but he said it's urgent,” “Urgent? What's his damn name?” “Philip banks.” An alarm blows in my head. What is that fucker looking for in my office? “Let him in,” Maybe I need to give him some good advice.Not more than two minutes, the long-haired prat walks through my door.“Take a seat Mr….Philip or should I say banks,” “I don't have time for pleasantries,” He grinds his jaw, his hand unmoving in his pocket. I stop myself from thinking he is hiding something in it because he'll be checked by my security b

Chapter Nineteen.

Pearl's POV.I'm told that my Dad went on a sudden business trip, I know that's the reason I'm still breathing. But my heartbeat sounds like a ticking bomb and I'm just living, waiting for my death. Thank God for this mysterious trip though, now I wouldn't have known what would be my fate, given how much my name is being slandered. Now, I'm thanking God that I'm not bearing my family name, because what people are saying in the media, I can't even look at. I had to stop myself from looking after the gruesome comment I saw under a post. I know that's the part where my Dad will say he was right and I'm not used to such attention, I need to keep my head straight.“Ms. Claudia,” I say to our housekeeper as she comes out of the kitchen. “Yes, Dear,” She turns to face me.“Did my Dad mention when he'll be coming back from his trip?” “No, Dear,” She answers. Her stomach tightens, that's gonna be a real problem.“It's alright, Thank you,” I grab my bag. I have to catch the bus so I don't go

Chapter Twenty.

Pearl's POV.“I don't understand,” I chuckle nervously, but it does nothing to lighten the atmosphere. He turns to me, his Piercing eyes make it hard for me to keep eye contact, and I lower my eyes a little. “You said you didn't know who he was, that was a lie,” I feel exposed, did Philip find out the truth, I'm stunned speechless, because for him to tell me this he must've found out, but the question is, “Who…who told you?” “The cat himself, who else would?” I bat my lashes in bewilderment.“You met with him?” “He's not a hard guy to find, given his role in the corporate system, and how established he is, you don't need to lift a finger to see him, but I'm not here to talk about him, why did you hide the truth from me? That's what I'm trying to understand,” I sigh warily, “It's complicated, Philip, there's so much you don't know…” “Aside from the fact that you were married for seven years when it looked like you disappeared from the face of the earth, or that you cheated on him
