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?

Her hair was messy and she’s wearing a man’s dress shirt. Obviously, underneath her was only panties.“What happened to you?” I asked worriedly.She smirked. “Matt Foster happened.”My eyes widened in shock. “What?”She sat on the stool and asked for water. I gave her one glass and she took a deep sigh after that.I was just staring at her and that’s when I realized what she meant. From the looks of it, proven by the large dress shirt she’s wearing, she shared a night with Matt.“Emily…”She smirked. “Don’t worry about me, Kelly. I liked it.”My eyes squinted but I did not say anything. I was waiting for Emily to say things and I’m glad when she did.“He looked problematic last night, Kelly. I’m guessing he found out something.”I slowly nodded. “Do you think he’ll side with us?”“If he’s a righteous man, he will. But there’s a

I swallowed hard and bit my bottom lip. I suddenly want to kiss him.“May I go with you whenever you need to visit your doctor?”It’s about my pregnancy. Thinking about visiting a doctor while he’s with me makes my heart flutter. I’d want that too.I smiled. “You don’t need to ask me about that thing.”He smiled. “Thank you. Uhm… Are you really going? To vacation this weekend?”“Why not?” I glanced at him. “It’s time for me to unwind.”“How about your investigation?”“I want a day or two away from the problem. Why? You don’t wanna invite me?”“What?

The only empty space was the passenger seat and I was about to get inside when Mrs. Anderson cleared her throat.“Ah, Kelly…”I looked at her. “Yes, Mrs. Anderson?”She smiled. “Emily will sit there.”Oh, right! She invited Emily too. I nodded and looked at Snow. I’ll just carry Snow. I was about to get inside when Ana came in first and carried Snow who’s smiling sweetly at me.“I’ll sit here, ma’am. Snow needs her nanny.”My forehead creased as I looked inside the car again.

I smiled. “It’s fine with me.”He stared at my face, worried. “I’ll sleep on the couch, then.”“The bed is large,” I said again as I stared at the queen sized bed. “We will fit.”When I landed my gaze on him again, I saw how intense his stares were. He was standing a few meters away from me but I could feel the heat from his body. It’s like spreading the invisible fire between us, driving my body insanely hot.“I don’t know why my feelings for you were getting even more deeper when you told me you’re carrying my child…”He started walking towards me. He was so slow, but I can see aggression in his eyes as if he’s just restraining the inner beast in him. He wanted to devour me, as his eyes told, and I wanted to be devoured. Insanely.“...I can no longer wait, Kelly. I know I told you I will wait but I can’t now. I want to own you again. I

I smiled as I smelled Pierce’s familiar scent as his lips gently landed a kiss on my neck.“Why are you still here?”He stood beside me after hugging me and stared at my face. He even caressed my cheek and tucked my hair behind my ear.“Just having some fresh air.”He looked at the sea and rested his arm on the railing. The sky was dark but full of stars. The waves are wild and full of mystery. It’s fascinating how nature could blend beautifully. It’s like a mystery. A magic.“What do you think about a house on a beach?” He broke the silence and it immediately affected me. My heart raced like it has been a million years since I last talked to him like this. I missed him.“It’s nice,” I answered honestly and smiled. “Relaxing and beautiful.”He faced me again and gently held my hands. He put the mug on the table and moved closer to me, staring into my eyes as if memoriz
