Ryan's POV :The ringtone of my damn phone woke me up from my slumber but I ignored it as I should and pulled Pearl closer to me, as humanly possible."Ryan, please answer your phone. It's irritating." She said, staying in my embrace."No, it will stop ringing in few seconds." True to my words, it stopped but started again with newfound enthusiasm. I swear if I didn't need it, I would have thrown it in the middle of Pacific."Ryan, it's from your office." I heard Pearl saying, indicating that she had had enough and received it herself.I sat up against my wish, and took the phone from her hand. She looked like she wanted to say something but opted saying anything and just got out of the bed."Ryan, when are you going to come to the office? It's already 9.30." Natalie said in a breathe.I looked at the clock and she wasn't wrong, God, how can be I late? And what happened to me yesterday? I had a girlfriend for God's sake."Oh, I didn't realise it until now. I'll be there in 20." I info

Pearl's POV :If I was happy because Ryan was taking me to Norway then I was freaking ecstatic at the moment. I didn't know how but he just got all of it right, the perfect honeymoon sorry vacation destination and now the perfect place to live in. Because the house standing in front of me was my dream house but I never got the time to make it. But Ryan did.It was a two storied wooden house with a long veranda in the front of the 1st floor. Wish I never had to leave this."Is this yours?" I asked Ryan, hoping that he would say yes."Obviously." Ryan answered making my ecstasy double only to dampen it. "Not. Why will I buy a house in Norway? It is on rent.""God you s*ck." I pointed and went to take my luggages out of the 'rental car'. I think everything around me is rented. Sigh.Well, what did I expect? Everything will be permanent and will live here forever? Yeah, never going to happen."I do that very well. Want a demonstration?" It took me a second before I realised the underlying

Ryan's POV :The fear of losing someone you love, is the worst case of fear. You'll try with your everything to make that person stay but at the same time you will be aware of how it's going out of your grasp and you can't do sh*t to stop that.That was what I was feeling, my throat clogged up making it hard to say anything in my defence.What can I even say?Yes, that's right, what could I even say when every word that left her mouth was nothing but true?"Ryan, I asked is it Natalie or not?" Gritting her teeth, Pearl asked.I could only nod, still surprised that she knew. But how?A laugh escaped out of her beautiful lips, when her eyes were red with unshed tears and her cheeks still wet; the evidence of the pain she felt because of me.I never regretted meeting her, not even when I thought she cheated on me. But that moment, at that moment I regretted that she met me, a verified scoundrel who was the reason behind her humiliation. I didn't expect her to forgive me. How could I? Did

Pearl's POV :If you are waiting for time to solve everything then you are only going to get yourself disappointed. In this world, nothing gets done on its own. You are the one who has to step up and do what have to be done. And right then, that's what I was going to do.It was really hard to leave the very man who was always a part of my existence, I grew up believing that he would be my future. But it was all in the past, and you can't blame me that I didn't try to make it work. No, you can't do that if you know my story, because then you already know that I did try, may be more than anyone did from my position and yes, I admit that there are other women out there who tried and still is trying which exceeds my struggle. But I couldn't be one of them, call me feminist or not. So, from then on, I was set to only think about me and do what I wanted do without pondering over who would support me and who wouldn't.The flight to New York gave me enough time to decide what to do next. Soot

Pearl's POV :I have met many people in my life who keeps complaining about their looks, from their point of view, their life would be easier, if they looked better. That's not true, is that? No, I won't be talking about 'all people are beautiful' crap. Because, we don't actually judge the inner beauty. Back to what I was talking about, are they right? No, absolutely not. When we see an attractive person, yes by definition we feel attracted to them, at first. Then we think how they are way better than us (not that I actually support that) and start to pick out the faults in them, because no one can be perfect, you know? We judge them in the littlest of things and we can go on for hours pointing them out. So, let's do a little thinking, shall we?We were the same people who thought, looks can bring us a better luck in life. But what about the good looking people who are victims of our judgemental mind? Are they leaving a better life? Is life better with criticism here and there? No. It
