Pearl X Lapis Novels & Stories

~Thea There is no doubting, that everything has changed. That I am no longer how I was yesterday. Jasper stood behind me, staring into the mirror as I did. Something was so common between us, there is no mistaking it. Our eyes. Just looking at it made me want to claw my eyes out. That deep-set violet shade had taken over my once hazel eyes, infecting me with the colour I had admired about Jasper. Now it belongs to me too, although, it hardly amounts to what I see in Jasper's eyes. His are alight and dazzling, vivid with colour. Mine are still bland and rather lifeless.

In as much as the dress was long, the slit ran up to her mid thigh letting my mind run wild. My throat suddenly went dry. I felt my body reacting. No woman had ever had such power over me. She seemed so close yet so far. Her ethereal looks reminded me of the sky. She was mi cíelo. The man she walked in with bent to whisper something in her ears and I almost flung my glass at him. As long as she wasn’t wearing a ring, whoever he was should back off.

Lin Yilan's wandering thoughts returned to the shopkeeper's incessant sales pitch. She seriously considered which crystal cup Jasmine would prefer, examining the subtle differences in the natural ice-crack patterns with due diligence. Lapis lazuli bracelets, ripple-patterned crystal cups, hand-woven cloud-silk square rugs, Dream Epiphyllum dew... The long shopping list made Lin Yilan want to sigh. Her original intention was merely to visit an old friend she hadn't seen in a long time, but the result was this—

specialty item. The part of his gift is a natural pearl, the organizers also give the words: Moon God Gemstone, Pearl Pen. Moreover, the pseudonym of pearl has the same word "Sweet", from then on we started calling him Pearl." Sweet Pea Guun was in a hurry one afternoon, We Chat often reminded him of new news, every time it rang, he would open his phone, later found out that it was not Brene Brian's, chose to exaggerate texting to reply word back.

The moment I looked inside, my breath caught. Pearls. Delicate, glowing, Cloud Sea pearls, each of them milky white with a faint shimmer of blue, like moonlight frozen in crystal. Exactly the kind I had lost. Maybe even more beautiful. I exhaled, the tight knot in my chest loosening just a little. He came back. Even when he wouldn’t say it out loud. A small, involuntary smile tugged at the corners of my lips. Just a flicker. But it stayed a second longer than usual.

Pearl strutted over on her heels, looked at them, and said, “This is a party for socialites, not a jewelry fair. She’s just a new designer. There’s nothing interesting about that.” Pearl sized up Willow with disdain in her eyes. That was her confidence. Pearl was part of the jewelry business, and her father, Antonio, was well known. Since she was from the La Perla Group, she had a great status and social standing. La Perla was only second to Taylor Jewelry and on par with Hailey & Co., but in reality, it was better than them. Vaenna of the Vanderbilts was nowhere near them. Furthermore, she was just a new designer who was just starting to become reputable. Pearl was not concerned about her.

He had been so proud of her then, and tonight, that pride was radiating off him like a physical heat. They stopped in front of the center display. Resting on a pedestal of black marble was a necklace that looked like it was made of frozen moonlight. It was Selene’s latest creation. It was a delicate weave of white gold and rare blue pearls, designed to look like the waves of the sea she had lived by for five years. "It’s the most beautiful thing in the room," Lucas whispered, his voice deep and full of a dominant pride. He looked at the necklace, then back at her.

she asked again, her arms crossed, giving me a sassy glare. I looked at the captivating creature, taking in her full form. Her full, pink lips twitched up on one side, showing me a bit of her feisty personality. I also took note of her erratic breathing and the pulse-pounding on the side of her neck. She was nervous. Fuck if that didn’t turn my dick into a hard rock. “You are one of my merchants, you don’t question me.” I countered. “Just how much was I worth?” I saw her frustration, her raw vulnerability, and even her fear at that moment. She was broken, and helpless.

Had no one ever told her she was breathtaking? "I know you all have work to do." Pearl said in her innocent way. "Tell me, Hope, when is your birthday?" The little devil, I knew what she was up to. Hope looked confused, but she answered anyway. "August 30th." "On my that's the peridot, it's a beautiful stone." Pearl said to Hope but was looking at me. I would play my part. "What color is that?" I asked nonchalantly. "Oh, it's a light green sort of mint." Pearl offered.

Her eyes widened when she saw what was inside. According to her foggy memory, this was the Pearl Jade perfume that costs like a mansion in this world. It was a once in a thousand years perfume that was made from natural pearl and jade, just like its name suggests.

It was a meaningless retort as she got it wrong.
