The CEO's Redemption Chapter 22 (2012)
Pearl’s POVThe only thing I was grateful for about the prank incident was the fact that it was investigated before they could even think of calling my parents. If they had acted irrationally and called them, my mom would have a fit of rage flying on the roof and yelling profanities. It’s been a week since it happened and I’ve tried my possible best to avoid trouble, aka, Lucas Anderson, aka, leather jacket devil.I feel accomplished because of that. Aurora had woken up with another splitting headache this morning and even though I tried going to the hospital with her, my mother insisted on dropping me off at school before taking her to the hospital.“Mom, are you sure everything is okay with Aurora?” I asked her. She was driving me to school.She groaned before she responded. “Why are you such a difficult child, Pearl? Why don’t you ever listen?” She asked.“Sorry,” I apologized quickly after realizing how irritated she was, even though she didn’t answer my question.She dropped me o

Welcome back to 2019. We were not ready for what 2020 had in stock for us. This was the year before COVID took a long ride around the world. PEARL'S POV“I don’t feel really good this morning,” Aurora groaned as she walked into my room. I was getting ready for work that morning. I knew the burden of this stupid arranged marriage was too much on my poor baby but what else can I do other than curse out?“What happened? How do you feel exactly?” I asked her.“Headache,” She responded before collapsing on my bed.“How bad is it? I asked her. She showed me her ten fingers. “Really bad”Panic set in immediately after she said that.“Let’s get to the hospital then,” I advised her. She nodded grudgingly as she stood up from the bed. I picked up I love California t-shirt from my dressing table and made her wear it before heading out of the house.As we got down the stairs, I saw both of our parents at the dining table having dinner. I was surprised to see my dad at home that early because he

Pearl's POV “I won’t be surprised if you got served a sack letter as soon as Voldemort set his eyes on you,” Rose stated immediately as I walked into the office building. It was obvious that she had been waiting for me to arrive.“Honestly, he said the same thing, honey,” She raised an eyebrow. I know she was either contemplating what she could advise me to do to escape this but I think there’s nothing else that can be done.“You should’ve called earlier on,” She said painfully.“I tried calling Charlotte a number of times but she didn’t pick up my calls and I also sent her a text, when I didn’t get a response from her, I had to send a text to Voldemort,” I explained.She clicked her tongue. “Charlotte is the real devil’s little sister, probably their father’s last born. Spoilt, evil, and selfish. She probably saw your calls but decided to ignore them,”“I don’t blame her. Is he around?” I asked.“Who? Voldemort?” I nodded.“He hadn’t come down from the office all day and everyone ha

PEARL’S POV Rose sent me the address of the club by evening, a few hours before we meet for her birthday night-out party with her other friend from the office, Martins. I quickly got ready, not wanting to enter the club alone but being able to meet them at the door, so we could enter together. I told Aurora about where I was going and when she asked if I would be telling our parents, I told her no. they already saw me when I came in, so, it’s better they believe I’m still inside the house even after I’ve left.“Will you be back tonight?” She asked. I shrugged, not sure about how the night would go.“I don’t know yet but I think I should,” I told her.I picked up my mascara and eyeliner to finish the makeup on my face before leaving. Normally, that was Lyla’s job, she loved dolling me up but tonight, I can’t afford to have her here because my parents would get suspicious and the fact that I’m twenty-four, still living in my parents’ home and can’t even attend a party with or without p
The CEO's Redemption Chapter 26 (2012)
Let's pick up from where young Pearl found out Aurora had cancer and Luke went to meet her at the hospital. Pearl's POV The day I found out my sister had cancer and my family had been keeping it from me was the worst day of my entire life. I had so many questions running through my head. After Lucas found me on the field, he told me to cry it all out since it was necessary and after I’d managed to stop the tears, he took me home on his death trap; motorcycle. I’d willingly followed me that day because it was the best option at that moment, according to Lucas. Throughout the remaining days of the week, I hear people asking me what happened to me. Why did I become a shadow of my old self and I could only smile in response? The only person who was close to the answer was Lucas and he didn’t even spare me a second glance in school. No strange midnight phone calls as well. I know it happened once, but I found myself hoping he would call again because I rarely sleep these days. “Mom, L

Pearl’s POV“Just go,” She pushed me out of the kitchen and I was forced to walk into the living room. When I got there, Luke turned to take a look at me before changing his attention to the TV. I sat opposite him, not ready to sit beside him.“Thank you for the other day,” I said, referring to the day he helped me at the hospital.“You’re not acting like you’re grateful. At least, you don’t say thank you to someone you hate,”I stared at him, and that was when I noticed another bruise on his jaw. “I don’t hate you, Lucas,” I told him.“You do, don’t try to lie,” He asked.“I promise, I don’t hate you. You scare me,” I told him truthfully. He turned to look at me and he held my gaze for more than a minute.“I’m sorry about that. I didn’t mean to scare you, I didn’t mean it,” My rapid breath suddenly slowed down and I felt I could get comfortable with him.“Apology accepted. I’m also sorry about the things I said the other day,” I apologized.“You don’t have to apologize for saying the

This is another POV from Luke. He wants you guys to know a little bit more about his story and see where all those bruises are coming from. This chapter has some triggering events but nothing too serious. Read carefully. Love, always. (Luke starts his narration from the day of the paint prank)Luke's POV“What do you think?” I’d asked Pearl as soon as I saw her that Monday morning after I’d pulled the prank on Mrs. Summers. The next words she said weren’t what I was expecting. The plan was not to put her into trouble, all I’d wanted to do was make her smile and have a great week. I wasn’t expecting her to react that way and when she did, I didn’t have any other choice than to use my own harsh words to cover up the way her words hurt me.Yes, my life might be messed up but the last thing I’ll ever do is mess up Pearl’s life or make her sad. The day she cried on my shoulder was the day I knew how sad I felt when she cried. I’d tried to kill my feelings and not express my emotions but wi

Still Luke! Luke's POV My father soon returned to the table with a new shirt that looked better than the previous one and again, I wondered what was going on exactly. “When will your result be out?” I grumbled as he asked again. What the heck! Doesn’t he get the message loud and clear that I don’t want to answer the question? “What result?” I asked. “The GED exams you took last month,” He answered with annoyance. Laughter rang out from my throat, he was going to have another fit, and lucky me, I get to be at the receiving end twice this night. “Wow, I didn’t know you were serious about that. I don’t know if I would be able to get the result but if you pull a few strings, it might be possible,” I laughed again. “What do you mean?” He pushed his plate away and folded his hands against his chest. “That you’re a corrupted businessman who could do something as easy as that,” He clicked his tongue and smirked. “You’ve done worse, remember? I mean we shouldn’t talk about those thing
