Kelly’s POV

It’s just 5 AM when I decided to go out and swim. I saw an infinity pool and might as well enjoy my stay here—my imprisonment, I mean. I saw hundreds of clothes in the walk-in closet of the room I’m staying in and I’m currently wearing black two piece.

I don’t wanna look like I’m having fun here, but I’m already in the prison world. Should I make myself feel down until I can no longer grasp hope?

Hope. I laughed in my head as I continued swimming. Snow is the only hope I have and I tried asking Klay to let me have my phone even just for a few seconds. I wanna hear Snow’s voice but he didn’t give my phone back.

When I got tired of swimming, I went back inside the house. I met Klay in the hallway with messy hair and a creased forehead.

“Where were you?”

I stared at him and touched the knot of my bathroom. “Swimming is forbidden too?”

    Kelly’s POVIt was one sunny day but I felt so bored and lonely inside the cozy, cold room. It’s been two days since Klay brought me here and I’m dying to see my daughter. I feel like I’m going crazy. I wonder how she is. For God’s sake, she’s just five years old and she has to experience this. I hope Phoebe is staying with her. Or I don’t care if she brought my daughter to her parents’ home. As long as my daughter isn’t crying at night, calling my name desperately.God! I can’t endure this anymore…A series of soft knocks interrupted my thoughts. I quickly wiped the tears at the side of my eyes as I stared at the closed door.“Kelly, I prepared our lunch. We have plenty of seafood here. I know you love seafood.”I laughed sarcastically. Does he think I’d be moved by his efforts? I will eat those seafood but I still won’t forgive him. I’m not stupid to starve myself because I hate him.I pulled myself up and opened the door. His eyes raked my whole as his lips parted. I just stared at

    Klay’s POVI was intently watching Kelly lying on the sun lounger. She’s wearing sunglasses but from the corner, I could see her eyes. It was empty and sad. She’s always aggressive whenever I try to talk to her about forgiveness but her eyes were always the opposite. It was lifeless and angry.“Sir, the doctor isn’t finished yet…”I clenched my jaws and ignored my men who tried to stop me. I pulled myself up, enduring the pain of my wound as I decided to approach Kelly.I stood beside the sun lounger and stared at her face. She’s under the shade of an umbrella, but the sun is still so hot and her skin might get burned.“I can put some sunblock on you,” I said as I glanced at the sunblock beside her.She didn’t say anything. She just grabbed her orange juice and sipped on it without throwing a single glance at me. She completely ignored me. Like a wind, easily ignored when calm but will be paid attention when aggressive,I feel miserable too. Keeping her here while she’s treating me li

    Phoebe’s POVI was watching Snow, sleeping peacefully on her bed. She cried an hour ago, looking for her mommy but I couldn’t do anything. I want to do something but I promised Kelly. I trust her that she can resolve this on her own. I know her. She’s kind but she won’t like it if I intervene even if I have a reason.“Don’t you think you should tell your brother about Miss Kelly?”I looked at Luke when I saw him sitting on the couch when I was about to leave. As much as I want to stay here, I can’t. My family will look for me. They might discover about Snow and I want Kelly to come back and personally tell us about Snow.“I promised Kelly and I trust that she could end this mess her way.”“Doesn't matter if it takes her long before she comes back?”I looked him in the eyes. “You’re friends with my brother, right? Why won’t you tell him?”He looked away and sipped on his coffee. “I don’t have the rights.”“Same goes for me,” I said and gripped my bag, glancing at the bedroom’s closed d

I caressed my wet hair and hugged my body as I pulled myself up.Klay pulled himself up too and grabbed my arm, stopping me when I attempted to leave.His eyes were full of hope and he’s smiling like an idiot. “You…you saved me…”Anger crept in my heart.“You saved me, Kelly. You still love me—”I slapped him so hard as my tears rolled down my cheeks continuously. I can’t believe him. He did that purposely? He knew that I can’t stand seeing someone die before my eyes, so he used this scheme so I’d save him? So he can find a way to justify what he’s trying to believe?He looked at me with parted lips. His eyes were softly staring as I continued shedding tears.“You can manipulate me over and over again but you can never win my heart,” I said with a hint of disgust and hatred.“K-Kelly…” He was still drunk but it seems

    Kelly’s POVI was sitting beside the pool, feet dipped underwater, when someone sat beside me. About a meter distance between us, Klay settled himself and put two cans of beer.“Can I offer you a drink?” He asked, not looking at me, but on the pool water.I looked straight and pressed my lips together, not saying anything. I don’t know what to say. Truly, I was wrong when I told him to die and accused him of drowning himself just to manipulate me. I was wrong. My anger took over me. I feel so bad that I became like that and I said that. He’s evil but I’m not. And because of frustration, I don’t know how to react to what's happening anymore.“How do I start this…” he whispered under his breath, just enough for me to hear, as he chuckled without humor.“I was born…in a dangerous environment. Me and my twin…”I was shocked because of what he said. Twin? He has a twin? I remember the man in the house where Emily brought me to hide before. So, that explains why that man looked like him. Bu

She’s sneaking and dad seemed to not give a d*mn. I was walking down the stairs when I heard them and I’m instantly pissed because of dad’s answer.“What do you mean? She’s just 21 years old.

Did she bring her to him?In spite of the situation, I couldn’t help but think about the possibility that Pierce already met Snow. That thought brought horror in my heart. I’m not ready yet.“Funny how you bravely said that while I’m holding a gun. Do you think you can stand against my bullet, Anderson? You’d be buried six feet under the ground even before you got close to me,” Klay said as he brushed his gun against his cheek, smirking.I saw Pierce’s balled fists tremble. He glanced at me and his eyes softened. “Are you alright?”Klay seemed offended. “Don’t ask her such stupid questions, Anderson. I love Kelly. I will never hurt her.”“Fight fair, *sshol

There’s no other reason to hide my identity. “Kelly Monroe.”From the corner of my eyes, I saw Mr. Walker looked at me with a creased forehead. I know he’d be shocked and I understand
