Chapter 9 - 9. Pearl

Savia's POV

Saginsia and I went to meet that girl to claim our purchase. Saginsia did some stuff and sign the purchase report as I went to see the girl.

Saginsia was busy with Robert since Robert kept on nagging us for what we just did earlier.

"I don't know why they purchase me with that huge amount of money but I'm so scared right now." I heard her talk to her plushie.

She looked frail and scared when she saw me coming towards her. I can feel my heart being creased as I feel sorry for this little girl.

"Hi, I'm Savia." I introduced myself to her as she was trembling in fear that I might do something rude to her.

Maybe she thought that I'm just like everyone else here.

Some of the rich people are sometimes rude and arrogant especially they have the money to have that kind of attitude.

"H-Hello, I-I'm Pearl," she said as I smiled at her.

Just like how they auctioned that Pearl, The name of the human being was also Pearl.

"You don't need to worry about anything at all. Saginsia and I bought you to save your life from the horrible future that the others might bring you." I explained.

I can see how her eyes lighten up as she looked at me.

"Then, You are not like those monsters?" she asked as her eyes became teary. She must have endured a lot of stuffs.

"No, We are your hero if we put it that way," I said as I handed her my hand.

"Let's go home now," I added as she nodded, her hands are sweaty and shaking while I hold her gently but what makes me happier is that I save this young girl's life.

"Savia," Saginsia called as I look at his lips. There's a bit of blood on it and yeah I kinda went hard on him.

"Have you heard about your parents being auctioned here?" He asked as this little girl nodded. "My Mom has that pearl too like mine, It was our family treasure and my Mom will be auctioned this upcoming Monday." She explained.

"I bought your Mom," he said as a woman came in, and just like Pearl, she has scars too.

"MAMA!" Pearl approach the women as they smiled. "Saginsia bought me too!" She said that made her Mom lose her smile which is why I'm confused about it.

"N-No! Just take me instead! Spare my daughter!" she pleaded. I was confused and didn't have a single clue about what the hell is happening.

"Saginsia," I called as he look at me. "What's the problem?" I asked as he can't even answer me.

"Please spare us, mister!" The woman said as she begs down on her knees. "N-No! Don't bow down!" I said as she look at me confused.

Oh she doesn't know me at all.

"I don't know why you're afraid of him but I'm the one who bought your child in the name of Saginsia," I explained that made her calm down.

"May I know who you are?" she asked. "I'm Saginsia's Wife, Savia is my name." I introduce myself as she starts crying.

"Thank god!" she praised as I look at Saginsia.

He seems out of words right now, He barely look at me.

Is he hiding something?

"I bought your mother for you to have a life. You can do anything you want as a mother and daughter." Saginsia said as everyone look stunned.

The staff stopped what they are doing as all of them looked at my husband like he killed someone.

"Uhmm why is everybody looking at us like we did something unusual?" I asked as he look at me and was about to say something but he just sigh.

"Just don't mind them," Saginsia said as he look at the mother and daughter bowing down their heads.

We left the auction when Sabrina and Andy were waiting for us outside. "You really have a good husband, it's like winning a lottery," she said as I smiled knowing that she win the lottery of having Andy marry her than marrying me.

"Keep your chin up and don't look down on yourself now," he whispered as I smiled sadly since I know that I cannot do that thing at all.

I cannot be okay in front of Andy!

My heart is aching seeing Andy hold her waist like he really does care for her. Well, I cannot fight anymore since they're already married and I'm already married.

I just hate seeing Andy and Sabrina together it gives pain in my heart.

"Baby," Saginsa called I bet he felt that I'm not okay with this type of setup. "What?" I asked as my eyes are locked on Andy.

"You look quite desperate, shall we go home now? " he asked that catching Sabrina's attention.

"You're going home already? " She asked as I rolled my eyes. She's pretty annoying!

"I don't know my wife is tired. " Saginsia explained as I wrapped my hands in his arms.

"Let's just pretend like we're having fun. "I whispered in his ears and he seems not happy about my plan.

"I cannot pretend something like that just to please people around me," he answered and by his tone, I knew that I pissed him off and I'll be dead meat later.

When we arrive at the hotel he never spoke a word and went to sleep early. I bet his angry and tired at the same time.

I went to the veranda as I watch the stars that shine above us. I cannot believe that I married a Saginsia. He seems to be a unique person and I wish to know him more during our honeymoon.

But guess that I only cared about Andy the whole time and didn't worry about Saginsia.

I feel bad and guilty since he cancels an important event just to have a honeymoon with me.

"Why are you still up?" I look at him sitting on the bed as he fixes his hair.

Only if he sees what I see right now he really looked handsome even with a messy hair.

"Nah, I was just thinking about some stuff," I explained which didn't convince him at

all.

He stands up beside me as we both look at the Shining stars.

"They look pretty right?"I asked as he nodded for the answer.

"We got married below the stars. You might look tipsy that night but you look beautiful to me." I chuckled hearing those sweet lines from him.

"Did I say something funny for you to laugh at?" He asked and it looks like I offended him.

"It's just I don't believe in anyone who calls me beautiful anymore,"

"Why? " He asked as I smiled fakely.

"He won't replace me if I was that pretty girl, "I explained.

"I can make his life miserable in a snap just tell me,"

"Silly, I won't do that or go that far. I'll just need to slowly heal up and cry my pain out. I don't want to take revenge Saginsia, I just want to accept the fact that I lost him." I explained as he handed me a tissue. I didn't notice that my tears are already falling.

"Thank you, Thank you Saginsia. "

He looked confuse as he handed me a tissue. "Thank you for what?" He asked.

"I really needed this vacation." I explained. "I know," he answered.

"I needed this vacation too." He said as he look at me. I don't know how many minutes I stared at this guy but all I know is that he was like a magnet in my eyes.

I can't take my eyes off him.

"Why did you sing in that restaurant?" I suddenly asked out of curiousity.

"Because I heard you singing too and I just wanna be fair to you." He said.

"Say, do you still want to get married?" he asked. "What do you mean about that? You know that this marriage is a form of mistake and misunderstandings right?" I asked as he smiled.

"I know but where here now, It's not like Andy's taking you back anyway." He said which he had a point.

"I am not rich Saginsia, I have nothing to offer." I started. "My family business is also going down, I don't even know where to start anymore." I added.

"And you have done enough, I don't want to use you and your money. I know that you've worked hard to get to this position." I said as he continue listening to me.

"I cannot just use you for my selfish acts."

"I want you to look at me the way you look at Andy." He said. "I want you to be faithful and to think of me as your man and not a mistake." He added.

He wants me to love him?

I smiled sadly because even I cannot do such thing immediately.

"Did you actually start to like me?" I asked as he pause and then excused himself.

Did I just say something bad again?

I went outside to look for him when I bump into Pearl as she was holding the pearl necklace.

"Here," She said.

"They said that there are no possible way to get this pear out of your neck." I said as she smiled.

"I know because this was an acient lock and I pretended that I don't know anything. You deserve to have this you did have a good heart." She said as I smiled.

"The pearl can help with-"

"Pearl." She stopped talking as Saginsia was already at her back.

"I-I just gave the Pearl to Mrs. Savia." She said as she excuse herself and ran to her room.

"Saginsia," I called as I handed him the Pearl. "I don't need this anymore." I said as he looked stunned.

"Why? You wanted this pearl from the start right?"

"This has nothing to do with our marriage." I said. "I want to know you more and be a proper wife to Saginsia." I said as he smiled.

I didn't know that Andy and Sabrina was behind him.

Andy heard it all and yet he had no reaction.

It didn't hurt him at all.

Saginsia and I enjoyed the rest of Hawaii together and I really had fun together with him. We eat tons of food, swim with the fishes, ride a bus and build a sand castle.

Robert was there protecting Saginsia's identity and always giving me instructions about what to eat and not to eat when Saginsia was around.

He had severe allergy on peanuts and oyster.

He have a delicate palate and would only eat one of the best, but yet sometimes even if its one of the best Saginsia still throw the food away like a food critic.

The waiter said their sorry and wanted to make up for it but Saginsia decided to go home.

"Say, you don't need to actually throw the food away," I started.

"I payed for that disgusting meal." He said.

"But there are tons of people who are hungry right now, You cannot treat foods like that." I said.

"I did not wish them to be poor."

It's like his saying that it was not his fault.

"I know but at least be respectful with the food."

"You don't know anything about the food industry Savia!" he shouted that made me stop as I became speechless.

Robert didn't say anything as he just looked at us in the passenger sit.

Did I say something bad again that made him so pissed with me?

He looked irritated as he was watching the city lights at his window. I didn't bother saying anything after that.

I just knew back then that there are a huge boundaries with my world and his world.

Being his wife is not enough to fit into his world and that's the truth.

I am just Saginsia's Wife nothing more.
