Precious Pearl

Chapter 16

Mattias' p.o.v:

I subtly adjusted my hard on while I drove my darling home, but she still noticed, her cheeks heated up every time she looked at it. My hands itched to take her right in this car, but I would wait until the right moment. Her apartment building was approaching, I could feel the atmosphere change she was clingy, I loved it, but I hated seeing her face fall when I took her home. It was fun to distract her when I left. I pulled her over to me and she culled into me clinging onto my shirt and her other arm holding onto the chair.

"Are you asking for me to spank you" I felt her let go of the car seat as I stood up, she wrapped herself round me tighter.

"Can you please stay?" we were in the elevator as I heard her say those words. Her sisters were going to kill me, but I couldn't refuse.

"Of course, darling" she cuddled in tighter as I pressed the button for her apartment.

"I'll pretend to sleep then you tuck me in then if they ask, tell them I wouldn't let go of you" I chuckled she had come up with her own evil plan. The elevator opened and she closed her eyes pretending to sleep as I passed her sisters on the sofa. I pointed to her room and they nodded. I closed the door and she jumped out of my arms smiling widely.

"I will be two seconds Matze" she ran into her bathroom and I looked around her room. She had fairy lights everywhere, so I started turning them on and I looked around. The room was cream with decorative flowers sprinkled around she had a closet filled with clothes and chest of drawers for her other things. She came out of the bathroom and grabbed some pj's before running back to the bathroom to get changed. She emerged after a few minutes in a long white shirt and a pair of black booty shorts. She handed me a bag with my t-shirt and boxers in.

"I dry cleaned them for you" she smiled up at me and I kissed her forehead. I quickly got changed and turned the light off so only the dim glow of the fairy lights lit up the room I climbed into her bed. She immediately wrapped herself round me and closed her eyes.

"Night night Matzie"

I grabbed my buzzing phone to silence it and saw 26 missed calls from D.Lewis Beck. Fuck. I grabbed my trousers and quickly but quietly left my angel's room. I saw Jackson, there bodyguard, sat on he sofa. He glared at me as he stalked towards me.

"You better not leave her" I almost laughed at the thought. I would never leave Pearl Valentine.

"I have to take a call outside I'll be back" I raised my hands in mock surrender and smirked. He moved out of my path and I entered the elevator phoning back Lewis.

"Mattias where are you?"

"I'm downtown Lewis, what's up?"

"Blake Sterling is back in town" the phone fell out of my hand as I thought back to eight years ago.

My eyes blinked open as I looked around. I was in a basement. Chains wrapped around my limbs preventing me from moving.

I was only sixteen.

I heard a heavy door open and slam against a wall, heavy footsteps followed, and the lights flickered on. My eyes adjusted and I saw him. My uncle. Blake sterling had murdered his brother and his family mercilessly, I thrashed around remembering there lifeless bodies on the floor. His sarcastic laughter echoed off of the walls as I felt my face snap to the side. That was the first hit. Not the last.

The elevator doors opened, and I grabbed my phone. Detective Becks car was in front of the apartment and I climbed in. He looked at me and smiled half-heartedly.

"Good night?" Pearl. Blake was in town it was Lewis' chance to put him in prison and my chance to end him. That meant Pearl couldn't be involved. I had to create distance between myself and her. My heart ached thinking of it.

"Put security on this building Lewis, make sure the valentines aren't hurt" he nodded as we drove to my apartment.

---

I poured myself a drink. The alcoholic type. I felt the burn down my throat and closed my eyes. Blake was back, he was the cause of my nightmares he was why I couldn't sleep he was why I was an orphan with no family. Lewis took the alcohol away and put it back.

"His private jet landed here late last night he took a vacation in Mexico to avoid American police" Of course he did. When the police found me chained and beaten my uncle was nowhere to be found. When they did find him, he had a perfect alibi some other guy took the fall for it all. He quickly left for Mexico and seven years later is back in town.

"Why"

"I have no idea" Detective Lewis Beck was a young officer who stood up for sixteen-year-old me. He believed me and for that I was grateful. He also made sure that Lukas' parents got custody of me and not my uncle. We moved to Germany for four years then me and Lukas moved back here to take charge of the business my parents left to me.

"He is going to come here Mattias either to your work or the apartment. Be sensible when he does. Do not let him control you" I grunted. As soon as I saw that bastard, I was going to kill him.

"Don't do anything stupid" he raised his eyebrows expecting an answer. He acted like a parent.

"I won't" I rolled my eyes and reached for the alcohol which he moved further away. My phone lit up with Pearls contact and my face fell. I answered it.

"Matze where are you?" she had obviously just woken, and I could just imagine her pouty face.

"I'm sorry darling I have a work trip I'm going to be gone for a while" I could hear her breath hitch.

"O-oh"

"I'll talk to you later love" my heart broke as I heard her snuffle. I could imagine the tears running down her face.

"P-promise"

"I promise" I hung up and threw the phone against the wall hearing it shatter. Lewis' comforting hand rubbed my shoulder. Blake was going to die and soon. Then I would go back to her.

I stormed out of the apartment and into Lukas'. I flung open his bedroom floor to see him laying butt naked on his bed. I pair of lacy black panties on the floor next to a single black stiletto.

"Have you been visited by a sexy Cinderella Lukas" he groaned in response and I would have laughed if it wasn't for our incoming visitor.

"Blake is back" Even though I whispered it Lukas was wide awake as soon as the sentence left my mouth. He was there for me after I was taken, he knew what that bastard did to me.

"I have a gun in the safe" I nodded. A gun would be to easy for him, he didn't deserve a single bullet. But it would be useful if he came over.

"We have to stay away from the valentines" I turned away as he got dressed and we sat on the bed.

"If he knows about them, he might hurt them" Lukas put his head in his hands as he cursed loudly.

"We kill this son of a bitch the minute we see him, we can pay someone to take the body away" I nodded, we needed to find that someone soon. No doubt Blake was already watching our every move.

"Lewis is going to put extra security on the Valentines too" Lukas grunted in agreement, the usual cheery face of Lukas was now emotionless.

"Lets give him a show if he's watching"

That's what we did. We went to sex shops and gun stores soon we even picked up on the very inconspicuous black SUV which followed us around with a large camera. They weren't impressed when we gave them Viagra or egged there cars as they slept. Lewis fitted the SUV with a tracker, so we knew where they were at all times.

After we had just dropped off some extra small condoms to our stalkers, we walked back into the apartment building laughing. The usual receptionist was replaced with Blake as he joined in on our laughter. His was much more sinister.

"Hello boys, long time no see"
