Pearl's POV:
Have you ever had that moment where you want to slit your husband's throat and watch him suffer? Never? Well, may be I'm an exception because I'm having that moment.
Ryan entered the room as I paced there thinking of thousand ways to kill him without leaving any trail.
"What was all that about?" I snapped at him.
"What was I supposed to do? Tell them that you left because your husband kissed you?" He said in defense. Like that was going to help him.
"What about you tell them that you called me a slut and force yourself on me and so I left you?" I said the words while poking on his chest.
"That was a mistake."
"Which part was a mistake? Huh? The kissing part or the calling me names part? Because the latter wasn't. You did it repeatedly." I pointed out.
"If you
Ryan's POV:Schooling my feature in somewhat normal expression I entered the dining room and took my seat as others looked at me expectantly and I just shrugged in response. Pearl came a few minutes after me and took her seat like me as the room filled with awkward silence."So what did you decide? Are you going on your honeymoon or not?" Pearl's mother asked, breaking the silence."Yes.""No."We both answered at the same time and well as you can guess, the latter came from Pearl."What do you mean by that?" This time it was Brett and he looked really curious.I didn't reply to him. He and his curiosity can go to hell."We are not going." Pearl said calmly."But-"'"No but Ryan. I have some works to finish." She said giving me a pointed l
Ryan's POV:I was dumbfounded as I saw Pearl going out of the living room. It felt like deja vu, only the table had turned.I seriously didn't know how to react at that. Was I wrong all this time or was she lying? A person who was a cheater can also be liar, right? But why did it feel like she was telling the truth? Ugh, so frustrating.I was thinking of all the ifs and buts when I felt my phone beeping to let me know that I got a message. The sender's name made me break out in a laugh which was dipped with sarcasm.Natalie : babe, we never went to the date. What about this Saturday? I felt like ripping all my hair out of their roots. On one hand, my wife had locked herself in the bedroom and on other, my girlfriend was planning a romantic getaway. My life really sucks.Well you brought it to yourself, you cheating asshole.
Pearl's POV:Last few days passed in blur. Well it was expected with the amount of work I had to do.With our mutual decision, Ryan and I had reached a neutral position. So, I could say that we're doing well, at least our conversations were way more civilized than before.So many things happened in few days that I could hardly count. Like Lou and Alexander became an official couple much to my amazement. I didn't know they would come to that point so quickly. Because Lou was that kind of person who used to not trust anyone with her heart. So, you can guess why I should be surprised. Anyway, after their revelation, two persons' reaction surprised me the most. 1. Ryan started joking with Alex like they were best buddies and 2. Armin became a brooding child which is wearing off quickly.And to top it all, my show was in two
Ryan's POV:I was so caught up at the moment when Pearl asked me why Natalie called me by my name, that for a second, I forgot to breath."I... I don't like formalities. So I told her to call me by my name. Do you have a problem with that?" I snapped at her. I knew there was nothing to get hyper but I was acting on defence, so you can't really blame me."Chill, Ryan. I was just genuinely curious and I can ask you more questions right now but I won't because we will be late for the party." She said and linked her hands with Natalie. "Come on Nate, we will get going."She dragged Natalie to the car and opened the passenger's side door for her.I looked at Pearl, speechless as I couldn't figure out why she was acting like this. Does she know about us? How can she? And if she knew then why will she befriend with Natalie?God help me.
Pearl's POV :"In a few minutes, we are starting the auction. So, I request to all of you to come near the stage." The auctioneer, Mrs. Perez announced and we all started to clear out of the dance floor.I looked around as I neared the stage and my eyes stuck on a pure beauty, showcased in a glass house. God I wanted her for myself.Ryan caught the direction of my eyes and smiled softly. "I'll buy that for you.""Why? Do you think I'm a beggar?" I asked as I glared at him."Do you get chills if you argue with me?""No, chills and you don't work out for me together.""This beautiful pendant features an exquisite pear-shaped diamond that is attached to a smaller round diamond. This masterpiece's look is completed by a simple chain crafted from white gold. The necklace emphasizes the huge size of the pear diamon
Pearl's POV : It had been two days since I stopped talking to Ryan. He tried in all ways to talk to me but I was in that point where I couldn't bring myself to talk to him. So, when my anger finally dropped, he had already stopped trying and I was too prideful to talk to him even when I knew that I behaved too childishly. Anyways, moving on, if you didn't forget then you know it was D-day and I was about to loose my shit with the work pressure. I was going all psycho if I saw even a little problem and the people around me was like I-got-to-count-my-steps-around -her. I was talking to Alexander on phone while going through my closet to find the dress I designed to wear in the show and it was too stubborn to come in my hands. At that fateful moment, I didn't know by whose luck but he entered the walk in closet and I saw a freaking red cloth in front of me as I attacked like a bu
Pearl's POV:Holding the dress under the scrutiny of my eyes, I smiled evilly imagining the face of my dear husband when(if) he would finally see me in this dress. The dress is a black mermaid dress with work of lace on the upper body part. Though it hides everything but it would fit me like gloves which would leave the people wondering what was beneath the dress. I had already choose a pair of Jimmy Choo black lace heels to wear with this.It was already 2 in the afternoon and the show would start at 8pm. I put the dress and shoes in a bag to wear it before the show and choose to get ready to leave for the show.As I knew I had works to do there, I decided to not wear any make up as I had many things to do and I would have to wear heavy make-up later anyways. I took out a white floral sundress with matching white sandals and pulled my hair in a high ponytail. I checked my look once
Pearl's POV :"Pearl, you can't loss this opportunity. Why don't you understand that working with him will be a milestone for you?" Alexander tried for the last time but I felt conflicted even when I knew it will help me to become a renowned fashion designer."But-""Did he misbehave with you?" Armin butted in with an angry growl. God was he human or what!"No, he didn't. It's just..... he is Ryan's rival." I said calmly."So what? I thought you're an independent woman. Their rivalry is between them. What it has to do with
