Kelly’s POV

I was having a conversation with Chris but my mind kept on wandering to Pierce’s place. I couldn’t help but glance in his direction and every time I did, I’d always catch him looking at me as if he was waiting for me to look at him. I don’t understand him anymore.

He asked for a divorce because his first love is back and he still loves her, didn't he?

“I’m really sorry about the bouquet, Kelly. I didn’t know it would create a misunderstanding.”

I gave Chris an awkward smile. “It’s okay. I just hope we can clarify our relationship next time because, you know, it will create a misunderstanding.”

He smiled apologetically. “If only I could explain it to every employee in your company.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please? Good evening…”

Our conversation was interrupted when my assistant went up to the mini-stage and greeted everyone. She’s the one in charge to be the host for tonight’s party.

I grabbed a lady's drink but I immediately paused and put it bac

    Kelly’s POV“W-What do you want from me?” The little girl asked with a trembling body and fearful eyes. Her tears kept streaming down her face and she couldn’t move.It was pitch black around her. She didn’t know where she was and all she knew was a scary man standing in front of her.At the age of 12, she developed a trauma that she will be carrying for the rest of her life and yes, that little girl is me.The sudden darkness brought that horrible memory back to me and I couldn't help shivering, "P...Please, le...let me go."I struggled trying to escape but felt a hand caressing my cheeks and wiping the tears that were rolling down my face.“Kels…Kels, look at me. I'm here. I'm here for you.”I felt the voice was kind of familiar but my eyes couldn't focus. The cruel laughter still lingered in my mind. I felt the air getting thinner and I couldn't catch my breath. The next moment, I felt one's soft lips on mine. So gentle, so warm, and comforting.I felt secure. I felt comforted. I s

    Kelly’s POVI don’t intend to hurt him but I need to shove the truth into his face so he’d realize what’s the problem. So he’d know what went wrong.“Are you okay, Miss?”I languidly turned to Luke driving in the driver's seat, “Do you think I can forget him?”“You will if you want, Miss,” he answered without taking his eyes off the road.I smiled. Luke had been my driver for almost two years. He should be the one who knew best what was really going on between Pierce and me. And for me, he was also a reliable friend.When we reached the condo unit, he opened the door for me. I went straight to the kitchen to drink water and when I was about to go to my room, I saw Luke talking to someone behind the half-closed door.“I will keep her safe, Sir,” Luke said and slightly bowed his head.The person outside tapped Luke’s shoulder and my heart skipped a beat after seeing a familiar hand with two rings on the ring finger. It was a wedding ring. His and mine wedding ring.I turned my back when

    Kelly’s POVI checked in at a hotel. I didn’t have any better choice. I didn't want to go back to the condo. I wouldn’t be able to sleep in that room tonight after what happened.I could still remember the drone with a small light. There was a camera in that drone and someone saw my n*ked body. It was so scary and creepy.What was even more unacceptable? When I was screaming in horror, Pierce was fcking his woman!Again, he abandoned me.Even now, I still felt very angry and anxious. I felt like there are eyes everywhere, watching me secretly.“I called for food. You should still eat, Miss.”I looked at Luke. “Did you call the security of the condo tower?”“Yes, miss. I asked for a copy of the surveillance video around the tower. The unit is on the fourth floor so there’s a 50 percent chance that the culprit is outside the building.”“The other 50 percent?”He clenched his jaws. “The possibility that he’s one of the residents and he’s executing his crime while he’s inside his unit.

    Kelly’s POVI stopped when I almost bumped into Pierce as I was about to enter the meeting room. Our gazes met and my heart instantly raced. His serious face immediately softened after he saw me.“Kel—”“Good morning, Mr. Anderson.”His lips parted. I never called him that as everyone in the company knew we were best friends. But starting today, the line needed to be drawn.I walked past him and went straight to my usual chair whenever we had a meeting. From the corner of my eyes, I saw him looking at me and instead of going out, he went back to his chair which was just beside mine.“Can we talk later?” He asked as he looked at my face.I glanced at the employee who was putting documents on the table. Her hands slowed down because of what Pierce said.“I have another meeting after this, Mr. Anderson.”“Just…five minutes?”I lazily looked at him and didn’t answer immediately. I waited for the female employee to leave before I faced him completely.“We already talked. I told you to give

    Kelly’s POVI was checking the footage of the surveillance video again when I accidentally pricked my own eye with my finger. I groaned and rubbed my eyes but it worsened.“What’s wrong, miss?”With my other eye, I saw Luke coming in that direction.“I pricked my eye.”“Allow me to check.”I put my hand down and lifted my face a little. He was hesitating to touch my chin but in the end, he did so he could properly check my eye.“It’s reddish now. Should we go to the hospital?”I laughed at his suggestion. I grabbed my phone and opened its front camera to check my eye.“I just pricked my eye. It’s nothing serious, Luke.”My forehead creased when I saw Pierce walk past my office with an angry expression. I couldn’t see properly because my eye felt sore but I’m certain it was him. What’s wrong with him?I just shrugged my shoulders and ignored him. I checked my eye again when my assistant knocked and entered. She was carrying a glass of juice and pasta. I asked for it because I suddenly

I could still feel the anger whenever I see her face and the last thing I want is to put my baby at risk just because of this cunning b*tch.“You look lonely, Miss Vice President.”Through the mirror in front of the sink, I saw her looking at my face, mocking me. She chuckled when I paused and stared at her, annoyed. She started washing her hands while still smiling.“No matter how hard you try to wash your hands, you’re still dirty. You’re still a mistress.”Her

He almost growled the words but I felt nothing but disappointed.Knowing what a dangerous person Chris might be, he just put him beside me to wait for more mistakes. He didn't care if I would get harmed at all. What he cared about was only his own benefit!I angrily wiped the tears that rolled down my cheeks in so much anger. “I don’t fcking care who he is, Pierce. He violated my privacy. Stole my personal things and creeped me out. I won’t wait for a chance. I will do anything I can to put him behind bars immediately!"You call yourself my husband and best friend but you let a very dangerous man near me?" I shook off his hands and looked into his eyes coldly, "What a mockery.”He gritted his teeth as rage flickered in his eyes. He rushed to the studio and I just watched him with balled fists.

Her father is furious, son…”“What? Mom, I need to see her. I need to know if she’s okay.”“No, Pierce. You can’t see her for now. Her father is–”“I don’t care about her father, mom.
