It had never crossed Pearl’s mind that she might not be Beah's daughter. But if she wasn't Beah'sdaughter, whose daughter was she?
"Okay, I got it... Thanks for telling me."
Pearl took a deep breath, unsure of Hugo's intentions but grateful for the information.
Hugo smirked, propping his chin up. "You're welcome. You've given me what I wanted anyway."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
Before Pearl could fully process his words, she felt dizzy. A disorienting sensation overtook her,leaving her off-balance.
"Did you drug the food?"
Hugo chuckled. "How else could I keep you here?"
Frowning, Pearl struggled against the dizziness and heat. "Why would you do that?"
"Didn't I make myself clear? I don't want you to leave. I don't want you to be with him. It pisses meoff when I see you with him." Hugo stood up and approached her, holding her arm.
Pearl tried to resist but found herself too weak. "What are you going to do?"
Hugo looked at her with obsession. "Don't worry. I like you, so I'll never hurt you."
Disgust surged within Pearl. "Hugo, I never thought you'd sink this low."
"You can curse all you want. All I want is you." Hugo reached out and gently stroked her face. "Iknow you two have gotten married, but it doesn’t matter. I'll take you abroad. We'll find a place
where no one knows you’re married. It'll be just the two of us."
Pearl gripped the table, struggling. "You're a psycho!"
"A psycho? I like that title." Hugo leaned in for a kiss, knowing the drug should be taking effect bynow.

"What I do to her is none of your concern," Hugo replied, sensing that things were about to turn forthe worse again. Annoyed, his voice took on a less friendly tone.
