Pierce’s POVKelly is sleeping on the long couch while I’m sitting on the single couch across from her. I wanna touch her. I wanna kiss her but whenever I think about how she hid the truth from me even when she said she already forgave me makes me so angry. She made me believe that the child I learned to love was another man’s child. My own flesh and blood doesn’t even know that I;m her real father. It breaks my heart. I kept on making my mind believe that I deserve this because I hurt her but I just couldn’t ignore the pain.My daughter almost died. I couldn’t accept that my daughter had to go through a life and death situation first before I learned about the truth. Why does it have to be like that? My daughter almost died. I almost lost her without even knowing that she’s my own flesh and blood.“Daddy Pierce…” That soft voice interrupted my thoughts.I quickly walked towards her bed and sat on the chair beside it. I caressed her cheek. “You’re awake.”She stared at me. “Are you cr
Kelly’s POVWe went straight to Anderson’s mansion after Snow got discharged. I want to take my daughter home now because I’m afraid Pierce would take her away from me. I felt so paranoid that I kept on staring at my daughter while she’s talking and sitting on her father’s lap.“Kelly, stay for tonight.” Mrs. Anderson caressed my arm.I don’t know why she’s not angry with me for hiding Snow’s real identity. Perhaps, she already had a hunch even before the truth was revealed. I feel so embarrassed for what I did.“I’m sorry…”She smiled and shook her head. “Nothing matters more than you and my granddaughter’s safety. I understand everything, Kelly.”I smiled and caressed her hand on my arm. I felt Pierce’s eyes on me. When I looked at him, he immediately shifted his gaze back to our daughter.I pressed my lips together and sighed. I decided to stay. I want to make sure that he won’t take my daughter away from me. I need to talk to him.I was thinking heavily in the guest room after din
Kelly’s POVMaybe I was badly bruised by the past. That's why it’s hard for me to trust even the person I dearly cherish.Standing in front of my table in Foster’s company, I was trying to find the sense of belonging in my mom’s family. I tried so hard, but there was none. I don’t belong in this family. This family doesn’t deserve me, I’d say.If mom thinks this family doesn't deserve to be recognized by her daughter, then maybe I shouldn’t try to fit in.“Kelly.”I slowly turned to the door when Sara Foster entered.I sat on the chair in front of my desk and crossed my legs, looking at her.“If not for my position, I won’t come even if you call for me a hundred times. What do you want?”I looked at her and tilted my head, signaling her to sit.“I’m not here to chit chat with you, Kelly. Tell me what you want, and please, don’t insist on investigating my brother again.”I chuckled without humor. “That’s not what I want from you. I already have someone doing that.”Her forehead creased
Kelly’s POVI held my breath as I entered Anderson's mansion. Snow immediately greeted me with a kiss and hug and I did the same. She’s going home with me tonight because she called me yesterday using her father’s phone and told me she misses me.I still can’t remember how shocked I was yesterday when I received a text message from Pierce.“Let his ass go crazy looking for me.” Emily said while lying on the long couch and eating an apple.I was cooking our dinner when she came home looking so happy and satisfied. I don’t know what happened, but I realized it’s because of Klay. News about Klay’s syndicate organization was exposed to the authorities and some members were already arrested.Emily was obviously involved but I don’t think it all just because of her. I remember what Klay said to me in the fast food restaurant. He told me he needs to do something before he surrenders to the police. I think he’s trying to bring down his own organization and I know it involves a lot of powerful
Kelly’s POV“Can I ask you something?” Pierre broke the deafening silence between us. It’s been almost 5 minutes since he decided to stay but we’re just sitting on the couch across from each other, silent until he spoke just now.I lifted my face and nodded. “Yes…”“Did you ever think of telling me about Snow?”I looked down and bit my bottom lip. Now, he’s ready.“Yes,” I said, almost a whisper. “I always thought about telling you, but… I-I’m scared…”“Scared of what?”“Scared of your anger.”I heard him sucked his breath. I squeezed my eyes and swallowed hard.“You had a chance when we’re together after you ran away from Klay Carver. You had the chance when you came back and we met again. I never give you mixed signals, Kelly. I was wrong. I wronged you, but you said you already forgave me so I don’t understand why you had to hide the truth from me.”I don’t know what to say. I don’t want to apologize again because I know it will only worsen the pain he’s feeling.“Tell me, Kelly. D
Kelly’s POVThe familiar touch of his fingers. The familiar graze of his tongue. The affectionate gaze of his blue eyes. The gentleness of his voice. Everything about him makes me weak and strong at the same time. He makes me excited. He makes me nervous. He makes me feel pain. He makes me feel joy. I feel like without him, I cannot function well anymore.I rolled on the right side of the bed and my eyes found a bare back of a man, sleeping peacefully beside me.I could still feel his touch. The remnants of his fingers and kisses all over my body remained and I can't help but to reminisce about what happened between us last night. How he confessed that he’s deeply in love with me. How he proposed and how he kissed me hungrily.I pressed my lips together and slowly lifted my hand. The tip of my fingertips gently touched the skin of his shoulder. It was hardened from his muscles and it felt so warm. I want to touch him all day and night.“You wanna make love again?” Pierce’s hoarse voic
Emily's POVI can’t help but feel envious of Kelly when she told me today that Pierce and her got back together. Her forever will start now and I know she deserves it. It’s just that…I don’t understand my luck in love. It always ends tragically. My fiance died. My past relationships didn’t work out. Klay is certainly not for me because he just used me. Now, I’m alone.“Emily!”I rolled my eyes when I heard that familiar and annoying voice. I dropped the bills on the counter and grabbed my bag to leave but I felt him stalking me behind.I rolled my eyes again. God! I already succeeded with my plan of making him investigate his father. I know he won’t stop now that he discovered something but why does he have to chase?“EMILY, I’M NOT GONNA STOP FOLLOWING YOU UNTIL YOU FCKING STOP RUNNING AWAY AND TALK TO ME!”My jaws almost dropped after the people in the bar looked our way. Some are annoyed. Some are laughing, mocking us.Fck! I angrily took another step with an attempt of ignoring hi
Kelly’s POV“That too!” Snow said excitedly after she saw a box of chocolate. Pierce chuckled and walked towards the section of the chocolates while carrying her. I watched her as she grabbed two boxes which only fit in her arms.“You want more?”“Pierce, that’s enough. She’d be hyperactive again.”Pierce looked at me and smirked. “Just one box, then?”I nodded and smiled when he talked to his daughter and she put one box of chocolate back.They went beside me and put the box on the cart. I pushed the push cart again and we continued shopping. After the groceries, Pierce brought the shopping bags in his car while Snow and I waited inside the mall.“Aunt Emily!”Snow pointed at someone and a smirk slowly crept on my lips after I saw Emily walking around the mall looking so annoyed. Behind her was Matt Foster.“Let’s go to Aunt Emily, mommy!”I shook my head at Snow. “No, sweetie. We’re here with daddy, right?”She blinked and smiled. “Yes! Mommy, is daddy Pierce my real daddy?”I smile
