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
Kelly’s POVI’m standing in front of the sunflower farm. Emily was beside me, silently watching the wind gently blowing the flower petals. After my conversation with Felicia and some argument with Matt, I found myself going here to relax.Felicia’s mother thinks it was mom’ uncle who had her kidnapped when she was a kid. But I don’t have any access to that part of the past now that Gallian Foster is dead. I should just keep the investigation straight through the path that will lead me to my mom’s murderer. The documents given to me by Attorney Lee were all burned down. I have copies and he doesn’t know about that. The problem is I find it strange that he’s not willing to help me anymore.“What’s your plan?”I sighed at Emily’s question. “I don’t know.”“If you want to end this then you need people who have access to the part of the past that you need to open.”I shook my head and looked down. “Sara doesn’t want to help and I don’t think Matt will still help.”“I didn’t know you have a
Emily’s POVTwo days after we visited the ancestral house of Kelly’s family, I felt someone following me while I’m walking along the empty parking lot of the condominium tower. I just visited my father in the hospital. He got a stroke last year and he’s still not recovering. I don’t know if I should be happy because the person who ruined my life is finally suffering or felt bad because he’s still my father.Before I could even enter the elevator, someone dragged me by the wrist and slammed me against the wall beside the elevator.I met a pair of eyes burning in anger. He was looking at me while gripping my shoulders as if he wanted to crash me right then.“What do you know about Kelly’s plans?”I stared blankly at him before I let out a soft chuckle. His forehead creased and he clenched his jaws.“You seemed to have two personalities, huh?”He gritted his teeth. “Just tell me what you know! What is she planning and what kind of information does she have?”I licked my bottom lip and pu
Klay’s POV“Why don’t you use your father’s resources to get the woman you want, Mr. Carver? If you order your men to capture her, she'll be here in a day.”I shook my head and sighed. “She’s no ordinary woman. She’s very important to me and I don’t wanna hurt her more. All I want is for her to accept me again.”“The organization is willing to do everything, Sir. Just tell us and we’ll kill the person who’s stealing your girl.”I gritted my teeth and glared at them. “Do you want her to hate me all my life? I want her to forgive me and you’re telling me to kill the person important to her?”They all looked down and apologized. I gritted my teeth and balled my fists. I had no choice but to go back to my father’s headquarters. After I successfully dethroned and killed him, I inherited all his properties and even his mafia organization. I didn't want this before but now I’ve seen the use of having such a powerful organization. This organization will protect me.The door swung open, one of
Connor’s POV“Dad.”I turned to look at Matt who just entered my study room. I signaled him to sit on the chair in front of my table but he didn’t oblige. He stood in front of me with a straight face.“What is it, son?”He scoffed. “Did you know that Kelly believed that her mother was murdered and that she’s suspecting us?”It’s nothing to be shocked about. I know that that’s why I’m doing everything to keep my family out of the hot seat.“I know.”His forehead creased. “Dad, will you just let her do that?”I chuckled. “Let her be, son. She’s just lonely. Once she realizes that she’s wrong, she’ll stop.”“What if she won’t stop? What if she has evidence?”That alarmed me. I clenched my jaws and I stared at my son. “Evidence? She has evidence?”He shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t know. Maybe she has. That’s why she was so confident when she told me that her mother was murdered. Why?I sucked my breath and shook my head. “Nothing. Go. I have some paperwork to finish.”“Paperwork? I thou
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
