Chapter 3:Havoc in the park

Author's PoV:-

The previous week was a disaster for Pearl. From the library incident her friends had been continuously nagging about her unpleasantly distant behaviour. On the other hand Shawn has been pestering her with his calls. Her lack concentration on study and often emotionless behaviour was not unnoticed by her family. However when they had asked her about she simply said that she is stressed because of her exams. Her health was also deteriorating and she had lost the glow of her face, which is now replaced with dark circles and pale contours. Shawn's possessive comments left her aghast. Pearl often tried to tell her parents about Shawn but his warnings were something which couldn't be ignored. At first Pearl thought Shawn is joking about being a mafia king but later on when she researched about him she found out that he was not joking. His brutal killing records had her have shivers. There isn't a night when she hadn't take sleeping pills and cried her heart out.

On the other hand Shawn was enjoying all this things. He was satisfied seeing Pearl suffer. He made a plan where he would break her in instalments. First heartbreak, then betrayal, the torture and finally used. He in his sadistic mind had awful plans to torture her. He knew that he wasn't a man who would raise hand at a weak woman but he sure knew sometimes mental torture has less endurance than physical. Shawn was aware he couldn't harm Pearl in London so he was planning on abducting her. Nonetheless before he took that action he had to make sure to make Pearl was afraid of him so that she would be less reluctant later on.

He couldn't meet Pearl daily because of his tight business schedules and her university, so he would call her every night haunting her with his terrifying words. He already sensed that Pearl will go berserk at a point where she would make a mistake and he is waiting for that. But for that he had to provoke her to an extreme extent.

It was Sunday and both of the parties Shawn and Pearl were free of their work. Hence Shawn decided to incite Pearl because it would be a perfect opportunity for him. So he decided to call Pearl in the park. Pearl was totally shaken up with the idea of meeting him in the park. She had a ominous feeling that something bad is going to happen but agreed because of how he had threatened her.

Pearl's PoV:-

I was afraid very afraid because that psycho jerk had called me for meeting him terrifying me to no extent. I despised him a lot. Because of him I had to continuously lie to my friends and family. I had to distant myself from everyone. Every time I requested him or apologised him it seemed like to was deaf to my pleadings. He would always say that he loves me and that he would make me his. But dude who do I look to him that he so wanted to claim? Am I a toy or what that he is obsessed with? I am a fucking human being that seemed to make no sense in his mind. Over the days I have done a quite research on him and trust me he anything but a good person. Every part of him screamed fear and dominance. Every now and then when I talked him to leave me he would growl at me and threaten me. So I learned to keep quite and let him had his way. However today he crossed his demands by telling me to meet him. At first I had shown him my displeasure to which he so enthusiastically ignored and countered me with his another bunch of stupid threats because of which now I am probably getting ready to pay a visit to my monster lover. Or that's what he says.

I was wearing a gabardine tights with a red colour sweater and tied my hair into a side braid getting myself ready for the horrific day ahead.

(This is what I was wearing)

Shawn's PoV:-

The following days has been hectic for me. First my continuous business deal, second my dealings with Pearl. Her information from West to Miller is still a mystery. I once heard that the Miller's were involved in mafia but now they have a decent reputation. One thing I must say in this past week that I have learned it is hard to break Pearl. She isn't the one to surrender easily but at the same time I knew if I push her enough her naivety will kick in making her do a mistake. I wanted to create such a pressure for her so that later she could be easy for me to handle.

My work here in London is completely done but there was something in US which needs to be looked after. For a while I might have asked Lucas and Noah to look for me. I swear it was not an easy task to convince these dorks, they knew a workaholic jerk like me isn't someone who would take vacation when my work is on line. However I managed to convince them with utter difficulty and started working on how to kidnap Pearl and take her under my control.

I called Pearl in the Park to meet me alone and by this I am sure that she would be damn scared. So here is my chance and I am not letting it go for anything.

As it was Sunday so everyone was home in Pearl's house. So it was tough for her to go without any notice, so she told everyone that she would be going for a drive to refresh her mind in the park. Her parents didn't inquire much as they thought it was okay as she was pretty stressed from days so it's better to let her be in a fresh air so she could soothe herself. Pearl couldn't be more thankful for their understanding nature but at the same time she was also feeling guilty, but alas if things were in her favour only.

Soon Pearl reached her destination and waited for Shawn to appear. She felt annoyed when Shawn said that he might be late, hence she decided to roam around the place by herself. As she was walking mindlessly when she bumped into a guy, causing the person to stagger back. Pearl shrieked at the sudden commotion. She helped the guy stand up while that person was fuming. Apparently he had a coffee on his hand which he dropped on his shirt. Pearl panicked when the man suddenly grasped her hand and started shouting at her. While she was continuously saying sorry and trying to free her hand. Poor her couldn't even act fiercely at him because of that man's animalistic behaviour. She was trying hard to get her hand out of his steel grasp to which he held her more tightly ignoring her pleadings unaware of the fact that someone was observing them with his furious eyes.

Shawn reached the park and looked around for Pearl but a sudden cry so familiar to him made his action halt. He followed the frequency of the voice and saw Pearl struggling with a man crying. A sudden rage raised inside him and a feeling of protection towards her overpowered his senses unaware to him. He looked like a tiger ready to feast on his prey. Her cries were doing something to his heart. The feeling which he use to feel for her 10 years ago was now appearing without his knowledge, a feeling to held her in his warm embrace protecting her. He went in the park with the thought to threat her,nonetheless now watching her helpless state made his heart beat at an unusual rate. His warnings for her was long forgotten and he was ready for his baby girl's rescue.

Pearl was still trying to get her hand free while the man kept looking at her with his perverted gaze. When suddenly Pearl felt the grip on her hand had loosened she found herself pulled towards a hard chest with a jerk while the man before her looked at her in horror. At first she furrowed her eyebrows in distress but later when she looked at her side she found Shawn looking at the man with a murderous expression. It happened so fast that it was hard for her to understand what was happening.

By the time she finally realised her disposition Pearl saw Shawn glowering at the man beating the crap out of him and continuously murmuring cusses.

"YOU BASTARD!! HOW DARE YOU FUCKING TOUCH HER?!! SHE IS MINE,JUST MINE!!"

Shawn was beating the hell out of the man while Pearl was crying looking at Shawn in horror. She was afraid he would kill the man. She was continuously trying to tell him to stop but it was like he had lost his senses. Pearl was terrified of him. Of his madness and darkness.

"Shawn pl-please s-top you wi-will k-kill him!...please Sh-awn pl-ease!!"

"NO...I WILL SHOW THIS FUCKER WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HE TOUCHES WHAT'S MINE."

Shawn roared in his usual deep voice whereas Pearl was a mess. Unable to think of anything she hugged Shawn from behind making him stiff. His muscles unknowingly relaxed in her embrace. It was as if he had found his solace over there. He turned around to face her and his heart clenched when he saw her eyes filled with tears. The same eyes which he once adored so much to keep it always happy. He didn't know why but he had a urge to hug her and comfort her and he did it. He finally embraced her in his warm embrace letting her sob her tears on his chest. Shawn was continuously caressing her hair and rubbing her back keeping her close to him. It was as if he was afraid to lose her. On the other hand Pearl couldn't understand why his embrace felt so safe to her. Was it because he saved her? But he was also hurting her.

The both did not had their logics worked for them. They were letting themselves melt in each other. It was a blissful moment for two souls, one was full of innocence while the other was full of darkness. The time seemed to have stopped at that moment and the nature was hoping and praying for them to find their peace someday.

Their little moment was broke when some tiny droplets of rain poured on them. They detached themselves from each other. Both awkward. One was trying to stay cool while the other was red with embarrassment.

"It's raining and it's quite late now, so it's better that you go home and I will meet you some other day..."

The awkward ice was finally broken by Shawn as he knew that Pearl needed comfort right now. He did not understand why exactly he thought this about her but to his heart it seemed so right. Pearl also muttered a small "Ok" before walking away, unable to keep up with this awkwardness and drove to her house. While Shawn watched her walk away from there and later went to his own car driving towards his apartment.
