Pierce’s POV“STOP IT!” I angrily pushed Lexi away when she tried to kiss me. I glanced at my phone and cursed after Kelly continued refusing to answer my calls.“Fck!” I cursed out loud and threw my phone on the bed.Lexi’s looking at me while she’s almost n*ked. With a white towel wrapped around her body, she’s standing in front of me, trying so hard to seduce me.“You can’t just do this to me, Pierce! I left and gave you time to think but that doesn’t mean you’re going back to her. She’s someone else’s leftover—”“Stop talking to her like that, Lexi! You’re insulting the woman I love!”She gasped. “No! I am the one you love, Pierce. Not that b*tch! I was your first love and I will be your last!”I slowly shook my head, glaring at her. “You’re crazy.”“Yes! I’m crazy! So crazy for you, Pierce. And you made me like this!”“Don’t blame me for what you’ve become! It was your choice, Lexi.”“My choice? You said you love me and I gave up everything for you! You told me you love me but yo
Kelly’s POVI woke up at 4 AM. I slept on the couch and since it’s big, I had a good and comfortable sleep. I went to the common bathroom and washed my face. I tied my hair in a messy bun before I went to the kitchen and started cooking breakfast. After cooking, I decided to go jogging. After leaving a note on the dining table, I locked the door of Emily’s apartment and went to the elevator. I put my earbuds on and stretched my arms.The thing I heard last night while talking to Pierce was still lingering in my mind. I can’t forget it.The pain and disappointment I felt when I heard her voice in the background. It was so heartbreaking. I understand that we have no relationship but he gave me his assurance. He told me that he’ll wait for me. He told me that…he’s in love with me.If this is another misunderstanding, I don’t know what to do anymore.The neighborhood was clean and silent. I jogged for almost 30 minutes and was walking back to the condominium tower when I saw Luke at the o
Kelly’s POV“Kelly—”“Let’s talk some other time, Pierce. I still need to talk to Luke’s siblings.” I cut him off when I ran into him while walking towards the morgue.Emily called me and told me that he already informed Luke’s siblings about what happened. I’m going to meet them now.“Kelly, I can’t let another day pass without you hearing my explanations—”I faced him and he stopped walking. “I need time, Pierce. I already have so many problems.”He stared at my face. Pain was visible in his eyes. “Kelly, I lost you once and I don’t wanna lose you again. I’m scared that if I let this pass without giving you my explanation I’d lose my chance again. Kelly, I…I love you so much and I’m willing to wait even if it takes a decade, but I can’t wait in peace knowing that you misunderstood what happened…”I swallowed hard. “T-Then go! Explain it to me. Now!”His brown eyes softened. “She went to my unit last night and purposely spilled her coffee on her dress… She…asked to borrow my shirt an
Kelly’s POV“Mommy!” Snow ran to me as soon as she saw me. Tears were streaming down her face as she hugged me.I glanced at Phoebe as I carried Snow in my arms.“What’s wrong?”“She saw Luke in the news. I didn’t know that she was watching television. I was…cooking her pancakes when I heard her crying.”I sighed and hugged my daughter. “Shh! Hush now, sweetie.”“Mommy, what h-happened to uncle L-Luke?”I bit my bottom lip and shook my head. “U-Uncle Luke is…gone, sweetheart.”She cried harder. “Why?”I caressed her cheeks as I sat on the couch and put her on my lap. “Shhh! Uncle Luke became an angel, sweetie.”She paused and looked at me. “J-Just like grandma and grandpa?”I nodded and smiled at her. “Yes, pumpkin.”“I won’t see him again just like grandma and grandpa?”I touched her chest where her heart is. “They will stay here. They will guide you until you grow up like a fine lady.”Her lips trembled. “C-Can they promise?”I hugged her and looked at Phoebe with teary eyes. She wa
Kelly’s POV“Who are you?” I shot an eyebrow up as I saw a man standing in front of my mother’s grave.He checked me from head to foot and then smiled. “You must be Kate’s daughter.”I clenched my jaws. “I said who are you?”He lifted his chin and his smile faded. “I could be an enemy or an ally. What do you want me to be?”“It depends on your intention,” I said, gritting my teeth.He chuckled. “You’re indeed a Foster. Bold and strong.”I can now clearly see his face. He has thick eyebrows, long eyelashes, red lips, pointed proud nose and angled jaw. He has thin stubbles on his jaws and chin and he looked like he’s just the same age as Pierce.He took a step forward and offered me his hand, asking for a handshake. “Matt Foster.”My forehead creased. “Foster?”He smirked. “Hello, cousin.”I was alarmed because of that. He’s a Foster. There’s a big chance he’s an enemy.“I’m Connor and Diane Foster’s son. Eldest.”I gritted my teeth as I stared at his face. I know they have sons. Twins.
Kelly’s POVI was cleaning Pierce’s wound here in Emily’s apartment. I was sitting on the coffee table while Pierce was sitting on the couch. Leaning on the island counter was Emily, watching us with her arms crossed. I feel comfortable because I feel like she's waiting for me to tell Pierce about my pregnancy.“Don’t tell me you didn’t even get to land a punch?” Emily said, mocking Pierce.I looked at her and frowned. “Emily…”She chuckled. “What? He’s a man but it seems to me that he’s weaker than you.”I swallowed hard and looked at Pierce. He looked down, looking so ashamed.Emily is a good friend. She’s become the older sister I never had but there are times that her words are just too insensitive and hurtful.“Emily, can you give us some privacy?” I said even when it’s her own condo unit. When I looked at her, she just shrugged her shoulders and went to her room.I looked at Pierce again and sighed. “Sorry about that.”He won’t look at me, so I lifted his face and continued clea
Matt’s POVI was cleaning my own wound on the cheek when mom went down the stairs and gasped upon seeing our faces.The new house was huge and good but I don’t like it here. I still like to stay in the province rather than in this crowded city.“What happened to the both of you?” He went to me and touched my face before she checked Mason’s bruised eyebrow and lip.“It’s nothing, mom,” I answered, not wanting to make this an issue.“Nothing? That's not nothing, Matt! Who did this to you? Huh?”I shook my head. “We’re no longer kids, mom.”“It’s Kelly’s boyfriend. The President of ADE.” Mason said and looked at me with a hardened expression.I hissed.“That b*tch again?” Mom screamed. Her neck and face were red. Tsk!“Did you still visit Ava’s grave?” Mom growled as she looked at me.I stared at her blankly. “Yes.”“Matt!” She screamed. “I told you don’t ever try to see them!”I shook my head. “I just wanna know what kind of person they are.”“Kelly is a gold digger, Matt! She’s stealin
Kelly’s POV“What do you mean?” Matt’s face darkened and he clenched his jaws. It looks like he doesn’t have any idea about what’s happening in the family he’s trying to protect. I understand him. As part of the Foster family, he wanted to keep it intact. But unfortunately for him, the family has been ruined a long time ago.I laughed sarcastically. “Will you still help me if I tell you that your parents might be involved?”He took a single step forward. “What do you mean, Kelly?”“Don’t try to help me without knowing what’s happening behind the curtain, Matt. You might end up ruining yourself.”I walked past him but he firmly held my elbow, gripping it tight. “Just fcking tell me what’s happening in this family, Kelly.”“It’s for you to find out,” I answered coldly and pulled my arm back. I entered the house completely as Emily and Felicia followed me.“This is the study room, Miss Kelly. Everything valuable was being kept inside this room. This…” She grabbed a thick photo album as s
