Kelly’s POVPhoebe walked towards us and sat on the single couch. Pierce and I are just watching her. She crossed her arms and legs before she smirked again and tilted her head.Pierce sighed and shook his head. “Stop it, Phoebe. We’re not dating.”Phoebe’s smile slowly faded. She fixed her eyes on me and when I nodded, disappointment crossed her eyes.I sighed. I couldn’t believe her reaction. She looked so sad that I’m not dating her brother. She pressed her lips together and sat on the couch like a sulking child. I had no choice but to leave her at that and just continued eating.Pierce and I couldn’t talk again. He didn’t open another conversation and I didn’t initiate either. After our dinner, he immediately cleaned up.“I…should leave now.”I nodded at him and smiled. “Thank you for the dinner.”He gave me a smile too before he turned to Phoebe with a crumpled face. “Let’s go, brat.”Phoebe shook her head. “I want to bond with Kelly.”“She’s tired, Phoebe. She needs to rest.”“B
Kelly’s POVI was driving my car to the company early in the morning when I saw a familiar man standing on the road side. He’s talking to a man older than him and it seems to me that they’re arguing.I parked my car and slowly walked towards them.“Just accept it because I have an urgent meeting. Or if you want, you can just give me your contact and I’ll have my assistant contact you about the damage.”The older man scoffed. “What do you mean? Are you trying to get away? Not because you’re a rich foreigner doesn’t mean you can get away from this. You run into me! My back is hurting.”I slowed down and tilted my head. Mr. Walter clenched his jaws. He’s arguing with an older man on the street and I think the old man is actually harassing him.“Excuse me…” I stepped in, unable to watch the drama anymore.They both looked my way and the old man seemed shocked that I stepped in. He looked tense now—a sign that he’s actually lying about his pain.“Miss Monroe…”I smiled at Mr. Walter. “I sa
Kelly’s POV“Thanks for the dinner again, Mr. Walter.”He smiled as he closed the car’s door behind. “I should be the one thanking you for this night and just Caleb, please.”I bit my bottom lip and nodded. “I’m going inside now. Thanks for the ride.”I waved at him before I turned my back and went inside the condominium tower. I left my car in my company because he picked me up for our dinner. We talked about some random things. He actually offered to help me again but I refused. I already have someone by my side…Emily and I think she’s enough.“Mommy!” Snow’s energetic voice welcomed me after I entered the unit. I smiled at her as I carried her in my arms. I walked towards the living area and found someone sitting on the couch, collecting Snow’s toys and putting them in the box.“Pierce?” My forehead creased as I continued walking.He looked at me and smiled. “I was just waiting for you. Ana has a headache so I told her to sleep early.”I nodded. “Thanks.”He stood on his feet and f
Pierce’s POVI couldn’t stop smiling because of what happened. Kelly’s giving me another chance and I can feel that she’s letting me in slowly. She anticipated my kiss. It’s a waste that I didn’t get to kiss her. I missed her lips. I badly want to kiss her again but then, I should lie low because I know I shocked her last night.It wasn’t actually my intention. Kissing her. But when I saw her lips up close, my feelings seemed to explode. I couldn’t control myself and I wanted to feel her soft lips again.It’s been a few days since that almost-kiss happened and I’m still at the cloud because of it. Kelly can still affect me and clearly, I’m madly in love with her.My smile widened even more after I received a message from Kelly—from Snow, actually. She took a photo of herself while behind her was her mom sleeping. Whenever I visit Snow, she would always ask me to teach her about using a cellphone. She’s too young for that but I couldn’t say no and I’m actually very happy that I taught
Kelly’s POVToday is the weekend and I brought Snow to the shopping mall. I want to spend the weekend with my daughter and also to unwind. I’ve been stressed out because of work. And of course, Caleb’s confession has been lingering in my mind since the day he confessed. I was unable to answer him that day because I was too shocked to react. He just left after he received an emergency call but he made it sure to me that he’ll come back and talk to me again. He wants to court me and he confessed in front of Pierce.“Daddy, look!”My attention was stolen by the family eating on the other table. The little girl was smiling so wide at her father.Bothered, I looked at Snow and caught her smiling while watching the father, mother and daughter. They’re complete. Something I’ve been wanting to give my own child but I’m too scared to take the risk.I caressed Snow’s arm to get her attention. I smiled at her and motioned for her food. Instead of eating, she stared at me with her doe eyes.“Momm
Kelly’s POV“More! More!” Snow said happily.I smiled and inserted more tokens. They’re playing basketball. Pierce was carrying her on his shoulders so she could shoot the ball while I was standing beside them, giving Snow the balls.She wasn’t scoring but she’s enjoying. Pierce was also laughing with her and I couldn’t help my smile as I watched them. I never thought this would ever happen. I thought Snow is already happy with only me beside her, but seeing her now, I get it that she could be beyond happy with her father.After the arcade, we went to the restaurant to eat. It’s dinner time and I can see that Snow is already tired. While eating, her eyes are already hooded.I didn’t bring my car, so we rode Pierce’s car since he offered a ride. I didn’t refuse because aside from Snow being already sleepy and tired, I wanted to talk to him.After what I witnessed today, I’ve decided. I want to tell Pierce everything and admit to him that Snow is his daughter. It scares me. I’m nervous.
Kelly’s POVWearing a simple dress, I went out of Pierce’s car. Again, I watched him as he opened the door behind the driver seat and Snow went out.I felt a hollow in my heart as I watched them. Pierce fixes Snow’s dress while they’re smiling at each other. Last night, because of Klay’s unexpected call, I was unable to tell Pierce about Snow. I was so occupied by the fear of the possibilities that it completely slipped off my mind.“Kelly…” Pierce’s gentle voice calling me brought me back to reality.He walked towards me and stared at my face. “Don’t worry about anything. He can’t take you away again.”This morning, Pierce accompanied me to the police station to report about Klay’s sudden call. We brought Snow with us because I couldn’t calm my mind.“He can never touch you again,” Pierce whispered as he leaned closer to me and planted a soft kiss on my temple.His gesture made my heart race again. I looked up at him again and stared into his brown and loving eyes. That’s when the do
Kelly’s POV“Pierce… Pierce…” I kept on chanting his name in between moaning. We’re dipped in the pool water and even when the night is cold, I couldn’t feel it anymore. All I could feel was the hot sensation and the anticipation of what we’re doing.We’re still wearing our clothes as he drowned me with his pleasurable kisses. He was nibbling my neck and caressing my boobs against the dress I’m wearing. I was already so drowned with pleasure. I don’t even know how we got in the pool water. I was caressing his back and ruffling his hair constantly.My lips parted as I felt his tongue traced my collarbone. My eyes dilated as I threw my head back. My gaze found the moon and the stars scattered in the sky, serving as our witness.“Kelly…” Pierce’s hoarse and begging voice made me tremble. I felt his hand slowly lifting my dress.“Ohh!” A lewd moan escaped my lips when I felt his bulge pressed against my stomach.“Please…” He whispered as he licked my ear. “Please…allow me…”I hugged him e
Emily’s POVI was standing in front of the bed while thinking of what happened today. I can’t believe Mason’s here. Yes! He can easily find me because of the nature of my job, but I didn’t expect him to come here when his brother didn’t even visit me once.It’s not like I want him to visit me after I dumped him but…“Argh!” I groaned and grabbed my hair. I can’t believe I’m having such problems.Someone knocked on the door, making me jump in shock. I caressed my forehead and opened the door. I saw my manager looking at me with a creased forehead.“You’re still awake?”I rolled my eyes at him. “You knocked. I opened the door. Obviously, I’m still awake.”He glared at me. “You need to rest, Emily. You still have a photoshoot tomorrow. I want your face to look natural in the camera. I don’t want thick makeup and concealer!”I smirked at him. “Yes, boss.”“Tell me the truth.” He crossed his arms. “Do you personally know that newbie model? Mason is it?”I sighed. “No.”“Then why are you st
Emily’s POV“I have feelings for you, Emily. And no matter how hard I tried to resist it, I just couldn’t. The feelings were so strong. This love is consuming me…”I sucked my breath and abruptly sat on the bed as I panted really hard. My chest was moving up and down rapidly and my heart’s pounding inside my chest. I feel like it will pop out anytime and it’s…it’s too much for me.I had a dream. The same dream I always had whenever I sleep peacefully. It’s as if the person in my dream was the reason for the peace that I have found. I don’t know…but just like what I always feel when he’s around. I feel safe and…at pace.It was Matt Foster again. Contradicting what I believed. It’s been six months since I decided to leave for abroad. I was confused. After the day I kissed Matt in the cafeteria of the hospital where he’s working, I started avoiding him. I’m scared and…I admit it was a stupid move. I left the person I like–love, I’d say. But…the fear in my heart was too much.Matt Foster
Snow’s POVWhen I was a kid, I thought having parents only means having a mommy. I was so innocent. I didn’t know that to have a baby, a woman needs a man. I was taught that happiness could be filled by having the people you love by your side. I was content with only having a mother by my side. My mommy Kelly loves me so much that I didn’t realize I should be searching for a father. She completes my life and filled my heart with contentment and happiness that finding a father didn’t cross my mind.It was different when I learned to understand things though. I started searching for a father…secretly. I wanted to ask mommy but whenever I try to, I feel like I’m just hurting her. I once asked and I caught her crying in her room that night. It was painful to hear and see her like that. I always love my mommy. She gave me life. She brought me into this world and there's no way I would forget that. I will remember it all my life and will repay her with love and kindness that she deserves.I
Kelly’s POVWearing a white long gown, holding a bouquet of flowers and a veil on my head, I was walking along the red carpet laid on the white sand of the beach. The salty scent of the air and the calm waves of the ocean are calming my nervous heart.This is it. This is the day I’ve been waiting for. My heart was jumping in happiness and nervousness. Besides me, walking me down the aisle, are my cousins. Matt and Mason. They looked dashing in black suits and my beautiful baby girl was standing in front wearing a beautiful smile on her face. Beside her was her dad, looking at me while constantly wiping tears that are rolling down his cheeks.I couldn’t believe he’s crying but I understand him. After everything that we’ve been through, finally we’re here. We’re going to officially tie the knot and I felt like crying too.“I feel like he’ll lose consciousness anytime,” Matt whispered in my ear and I pinched his side. I heard Mason’s laugh but he didn’t say anything.I just bit my bottom
Emily’s POV“Hi!”I lifted my face and rolled my eyes when I saw him again. He’s been following me for the past few days and I don’t know what to do to him. He kept on saying that he’s my stalker and that he fell in love with me at first sight. He’s handsome, yes. He’s fit to be my ideal man, yes. He’s professional, yes. He’s hot, fcking yes! But I don’t know him. According to him, and to my doctor, I have amnesia and I confirmed it when I saw the year on the calendar. I forgot my present and maybe, Matt Foster is part of that present.“Frowning again? I told you that won’t work on me. You’re still beautiful in my eyes.”I looked away and rolled my eyes but I’m actually hiding my smile. I don’t know. He’s annoying but I always find myself hiding a smile while my heart is racing inside my chest.I have amnesia. My mind doesn’t remember him but my heart does. It races whenever he’s near and It aches whenever he’s not around. Actually, I remember him telling me that he’s my boyfriend. I
Kelly’s POVThe bomb threat on the company created chaos. After my three week break, I decided to go back to work. I’m managing my father’s company and I completely stepped down from my mom’s company and gave the authority to Sara. Matt is now working in a hospital while Mason is helping Sara manage the company. He’s also taking care of the sunflower plantation and the hacienda that our family left to us. It’s not like I don’t want any connection with them. It’s just that I think they deserve the riches of the Foster family more than I deserve it. Besides, I already have my dad’s company and assets, I’m already content with what I have.I bought ice coffee from the shop across from my company. My other hand was inside the pocket of my pants while walking. I’m wearing a maternity floral dress and on my neck was the lace of my company ID.My phone beeped and I smiled after seeing Pierce’s name on the screen. He sent me a message and I laughed hard when I saw the photo he sent me. It was
Kelly’s POVThe doctor assured me that the baby inside me is safe. When the doctor visited me, I asked her about the baby even if Pierce already told about it. Another doctor, a gyne, prescribed me vitamins and told me about the things I should do like exercise. After my heart to heart talk with Pierce, I fell asleep and woke up with a delicious scent of food. I saw Pierce preparing the food while standing in front of the bedside table.He glanced at me and smiled when he saw me looking. “You’re hungry?”I nodded and smiled back. “Yes.”He finished preparing the food and sat on the bed beside me. He helped me sit on the bed before he started feeding me. He was also feeding himself using the same spoon and I couldn’t help but stare at him.“Mom called,” Pierce said while we’re eating. “Snow’s enjoying her school. I guess we just have to let her finish her schooling there and just bring her here every summer.”I smiled and nodded at him. “That’s a good idea. It’s better for her to stay
Kelly’s POVI sucked my breath as I started panting. I sniffed and swallowed hard, realizing nothing pierce through my skin. I wasn’t shot. Who was shot?Tears rolled down my cheeks as I thought of one possible reason why there was no bullet that pierce through my skin. Slowly, with racing and aching heart, I turned around, praying that Pierce was safe. Hoping that he’s still unconscious.My lips parted as I cupped my mouth when I saw what happened behind me. Connor is lifeless while lying on the ground. He has a gunshot wound in between his eyes and…Klay was standing in front of me. I was facing his back and he’s slowly falling to his knees.“Klay!” I exclaimed and gasped as I caught him. He was heavy so we fell on the ground together.My lips parted again and trembled when he looked at me and coughed blood. The rain kept on pouring heavily as if comforting me. My eyes watered again as I stared at his face.“K-Klay…” My heart felt like it was being suffocated while looking at him.He
Kelly’s POVI held my breath for a while before I blew it roughly while sitting on the bed. The house was old but it had complete furniture. I was also amazed by how the mansion stayed beautiful in spite of the fact that no one’s taking care of it.“You should sleep now,” Pierce whispered as he sat beside me and held my hand. “I’ll look after you.”I nodded and slowly lay on the bed. He lay beside me, hugged my waist and started brushing my hair using his fingers.“I was so scared earlier,” I whispered. “I thought we'd lose each other.”He shook his head and kissed my hair. “No one’s losing anyone, Kelly.”I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I was almost dozing off when I heard Mason’s loud voice followed by a series of bangs on the door.“GET UP!”I got off the bed, following Pierce as he walked towards the door and opened it. I saw Mason knocking on another door and Matt went out of that room. He looked worried and miserable. I know he wants to save Emily, but he still needs to
