Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

All I wanted was to get close to Pearl, hoping to persuade her to team up with me. Once everything worked out, I'd share smoney with her.

But little did I know, money meant nothing to her.

As expected, she ended up with Richard. Having those two together was a big trouble. I repeatedly hit walls and made mistakes. Then, I discovered a secret that I couldn't accept. The girl I used to like was a fake. That angelic girl was someone I had hated for a long time, so much so that I wanted to kill her.

Knowing this truth threwinto a panic, and it tooka long tto calm down. Eventually, I had to accept the fact.

Later, my thoughts becuncontrollable. I found myself drawn to her without even realizing it. It felt like I was meant to like her. I did all sorts of weird things for her. I even thought about kidnapping her so I could have her all by myself. Her smiles were too beautiful. I couldn't stand seeing her smile at other guys.

With my medical skills, I found an opportunity to take her abroad and separate her from Richard. I didn't expect her to take the bait.

Those days abroad were simply the best tof my life. We were like an ordinary couple. I cooked for her and brought her sgifts every day, and she stayed faithfully by my side.

One breezy evening, we sat in the garden and talked.

I could see admiration in her eyes. At least she didn't think I was all bad, right? I thought those times would last forever. But in the end, her mother ruined it all.

Her mother had fled overnight, and she cut ties with me. That was when I realized it was all just an illusion. It was tto wake up from the dream.

She was gone. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

bet I was in a bad mood then, so I returned hand fought with her, hoping she would notice me. Deep down, I knew this was messed up. All she saw inwas disgust. I would feel content if I could get her to look at me, even for a second.

I knew I could be with her only if Richard disappeared from this world, so my ultimate goal was to take down Richard.

But I was too impulsive, underestimating Richard's ruthlessness and overestimating my abilities.

In the end, I ended up killing myself.

Watching the woman I had held in my heart for ten years flee fromin panic and run into Richard's arms leftfeeling incredibly sad. But at the stime, I found ssolace. At least it proved she could be loved.

I had cto terms with it. As long as she was happy, I'd be happy no matter who she was with.

I wish I had realized this sooner. I might not get to see her living in my final moments, I didn'thappily with someone else. Butzeven I her to forget me. I never meant to hurt you, Pearl. Please don't hate me.
