Kelly’s POV

While watching Snow eating ice cream with Ana, I’m standing on the balcony while talking to Pierce on the phone. He called to ask if I’m okay and he told me that he was almost harrassed by the media while jogging early in the morning.

“How about Phoebe? The issue might affect her too.”

[Dad hired some bodyguards for her. She’s fine. I’m more worried about Snow. She won’t have the freedom to go out and roam around freely anymore.]

I took a deep breath and held onto the railing. “Yeah. I’m worried about her too.”

A deafening silence reigns us. I don’t know why I’m just standing there while listening to his breathing. Perhaps because the circumstances are pushing us away from each other. There’s Klay and then this issue. I can just end this by telling the truth to the public, but I don’t owe them the truth. This is my personal life. I have the right to keep this privately. I want my family to be private.

[How about you? Are you okay? You can do everything you want to end this

I’m sorry,” he whispered while staring at my face.I faced him and put my pressed palms between my cheek and the pillow. “Thank you.”He smiled and gently caressed my shoulders. “Feeling better?”I nodded and bit my bottom lip. “Those guys…last night…”“I already reported them. They’re at the precinct now and I’ll make sure they’ll be punished.”“I think someone else was involved. The drug was from the party.”His jaws clenched. “Just as I thought. Don’t worry.

You know that the people you hired are caught.”She gritted her teeth as her eyes sharpened. “My husband deserves the inheritance more than anyone! He worked so hard for that and you’ll come into the picture to steal everything?”I smirked. “Come on, Diane! We both know who the real heiress is. I’m just claiming what’s rightfully mine—”“You gold digger!”I lifted my chin and crossed my legs.
