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
Kelly’s POVThe shooting in the mall has reached the national television and a clip where I was caught running away with Klay was exposed to the public. The people who know us and our family are spreading speculations that I have a secret relationship with my stepbrother and that my daughter is his child. Speculations about this happened before and it’s happening now. The people are strongly convinced that Klay is the father of my little girl, especially because they knew that Pierce and I did not communicate for a few years.“Don’t let this affect your relationship.” Mom, Pierce’s mom, said as she gently caressed my back. I was sitting on the lanai with her while Pierce and Snow were in the pool area with dad, and Phoebe.“Mom, I don’t know what to do.”She shook her head. “Don’t let this affect you. My son loves you and he knows what happened. That’s what’s important.”I looked at her. “Can I really ignore this, mom? Pierce said it’s okay and he’s just glad I’m safe, but I know him,
Emily’s POV“So you’re investigating your own family?” I asked, pretending that I didn’t know. I’m lying on the bed, naked under the sheets. Matt Foster is beside me, playing with my hair.“Yes,” he breathed out. “I had no choice. You said I should investigate to prove Kelly that she’s wrong, but I’m proving myself wrong, Em. My father was involved in her mom’s death. I’m sure of that.”I shot an eyebrow up. “You don’t even have a proof.”“No concrete evidence, but I heard him twice talking to someone about certain documents that could be used as evidence against him.”“So you believe, your father, a perfect man in your eyes, was a murderer?”“I don’t know.”I can see it in his eyes. He’s having a hard time accepting what happened. It breaks his heart discovering how evil his father could be. It was the same heartbreak I felt when I realized my father was involved in some syndicate. I can’t accept it. I can’t accept that the money he used to raise me and give me education was from ill
Kelly’s POV“A black and white themed wedding… We’ll make it extra elegant.”I smiled at the wedding planner. Our wedding will proceed. I don’t care about Lexi. If she’s really pregnant, then all the more I should marry Pierce this early. I don’t want her to ruin us again although he managed to ruin us when I’m already married to Pierce. But if she's lying about her pregnancy just to tear us apart, I’m gonna make her pay.“It’s a garden wedding and your daughter will be your ring bearer,” the wedding planner continued, recalling our conversations earlier.I felt Pierce’s hand caressing the small of my waist. We’re sitting close to each other and I can feel him constantly smelling my hair and brushing his nose against the strands.“I will personally contact you for the food tasting, and fitting of the gown. And if you have more concerns, you have my contact, Mrs. Anderson.”I smiled at her and nodded. “Yes, thank you.”We shook each other’s hand before she left. Pierce faced me and kis
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
