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.

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 : 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 : "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

Pearl's POV :Nothing can ever compete with girl's addiction to their clothes. Even if they have closet full of clothes, they will still think they have nothing to wear. They can spend their whole day in the market's to find that one dress which will be perfect for them. Many finds it annoying. But did we ever gave a thought upon why they do it? Yes, you can say that they want to look the best and you aren't wrong. Though actual reason is, they want to look for that one person who will appreciate her. Nature made them like that and they had no hand over it.So, with the thought of helping them, I first started fashion designing and other reason was obvious. Because I loved it. But at this moment not so much.Why, you ask me? Because I would rip my hairs out any second due to the work pressure. My brain was blank and I was unable to think of any designs which I couldn't afford. Almost all of my dresses were sold out and I really need to come up with new designs.I was brooding in my ca
