All Chapters of Billionaire's Second Wife: Bound To Him By Vows: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Pearl’s P.O.V.My world turned upside down in less than two days, and I questioned all the relations connected to me through blood and by trust, except my trust in Sapphire.I trusted an acquaintance over my parents.The second his lips touched my forehead, my heart fluttered.I accepted that I trusted the right person.This marriage meant nothing to both of us, yet he gave me the freedom to move things at my pace.To choose what to do or what not.He was brushing his thumb over my temple gently. It was a simple gesture of comfort, but it felt world to me.I inhaled and exhaled slowly, savoring the comfort coming from him.Our front bodies were pressed to each other but not tightly, still comforting enough to let me breathe.I loosened my grip on his torso but didn’t pull away.I don’t want to.Instead, I leaned my upper body more on him, seeking more comfort and warmth of his body.I wasn’t cold, but for some unknown reason, I yearned for the warmth of his body.Arthur slowly moved a

Arthur’s P.O.V (Continued)For a moment, I couldn’t speak.Her gaze was blank, but I felt her fury. She was holding her phone in a tight grip.So tight that her knuckles went white.“You know what?” she spoke, breaking the tense silence that fell between us, and took a deep breath.“Leave this discussion for later when Pearl wakes up because this conversation needs her, not me.” She spoke again, a bit aggressively, still logical, though.I took a deep breath, agreeing with her statement.“You are right.” I still mumbled and put the bottle on the counter after closing it.Evan only had a few months left. This news was enough for me to feel like turning this whole world upside down.What’s the use of having power and wealth when you can’t save your only child or your loved ones?I couldn’t save Vera, and now the universe had decided to fu*k me up again.Or it’s still testing me to see how much more I could endure.God!No matter how brilliant and ruthless a businessman I am, at the end

Third Person’s P.O.V.“She leaked everything to the media in a very calculated move, Mr. Froste. The way things are now, she must have had everything that …. That can destroy us, but she only leaked a fraction and didn’t even try to hide herself. Either she is overconfident, or she is very cunning, waiting for us to come out and make a move on her.” Luther, my assistant, spoke grimly.I was rubbing my temple while staring at the papers in front of me. The news about the conspiracy related to the Bay-Light Project was going on the big screen of the TV at the far wall in front of me.Bay-Light Project is the biggest township ever built by Froste’s, and she messed up this badly for what????This was the only question that I had in my mind, instead of thinking about how to get out of this mess.“Where were Pearl and Arthur all this time? Is she still in that penthouse?” I asked Luther when I couldn’t make sense of Sapphire’s actions.He blinked, processing what I asked, and I waited for h

Arthur’s P.O.V.“Evan needs a mother figure.”The sentence was simple, but now it was replaying at the back of my mind like a broken record after I finished my call with Victor.Victor was asking for too much, but from whom?Of course, I knew the answer very well.This wasn’t about my approval, but about Pearl’s willingness, and her opinion.It had been a few minutes since I finished the call, but every word of the conversation related to Evan and Pearl felt heavier than the last, pressing against my chest, making me feel suffocated.My mind decided to play with my thoughts at the same time, when it suddenly started showing a picture of Pearl and Evan laughing and playing together.It was an image from the past when Evan went to Nickelson's estate to celebrate the New Year with his grandparents last year, and Pearl was the one who took care of him at that time.A harmonious and beautiful, perfect picture of a woman taking care of a young child like a loving and caring mother does…..M

Pearl’s P.O.V. (Continued)“I don’t know, Pat. I really don’t know. He… he said that Evan only has four months max. Can you believe that? He is dying and they all got busy conspiring this marriage instead of finding a real solution.” I replied to her bitterly, cursing all those parent figures in our lives in my heart.She squeezed my shoulder to comfort me instead of saying a word.“I need to do something, Pat. For Evan…. For Vera….. I can’t just sit idly and wait for Arthur or Victor to find a solution,” I muttered more to myself, feeling not only overwhelmed by despair but also restless.“If I remember correctly, one of your high school friends….. what was his name……. uhhhhh.” She spoke, trying to remember the name, but I immediately looked in her direction.My mind also raced at the same time.As if a bulb lit up in my mind, my eyes lit up.“David Beckham.” Both I and Patricia spoke at the same time.“He is also an oncologist, right?” she asked, and I immediately fumbled with my co
