Kelly’s POVPierce came back with a cake. I smiled when he prepared it and gave me a piece on the plate. He was staring at my face again and since he’s been doing that all this time, I didn't confront him about it.“Kelly…”“Hmm?” I drank the water he gave me.“I saw Klay Carver.”My chew slowed down until it completely stopped. I lifted my face and looked at him worriedly.“Are you okay? Did he say or do something?”He shook his head and extended his arm, giving me a flash drive. “He wants me to give this to you.”My forehead creased as I dropped my gaze to the small and black rectangular thing on his palm.“What’s that?”He shrugged his shoulders and gently put it in my hand. “I’ll ask my assistant to bring my laptop or ipad here.”I nodded and looked at the flash drive in my hand before I looked into his eyes again. “Did he say something bad? Did he…”He held my hand, stopping me. He smiled and caressed my cheek with his other hand.“Don’t worry, Kels. He didn't come to fight. He w
Kelly’s POVWe were so excited while preparing our wedding. The excitement I felt now overpassed the excitement I felt when I first married him. But…the grand wedding we’ve been preparing won’t be possible for now.Standing in front of me was Pierce. I said I won’t let the circumstances and our enemies affect the spin of our world. We will continue this life without getting affected by them, but looking at us now, I’d say we’re badly affected.“I’ll marry you again after all this mess,” Pierce whispered.I smiled at him. He held my hand so tight as we faced the judge in front of us. We decided to do a civil wedding for now. I actually told him that we can delay our wedding until this mess is over, but he said we can just get married again after the mess.I feel suffocated. I feel like we're chained to the darkness and we're struggling to grasp the light. I’m tired of fighting and if this continues, I feel like I’m going to break down.However, my heart feels light now. I have no regre
Kelly’s POVWe sent Pierce’s family and our Snow to the airport on the night after our wedding. I didn’t know why dad, Pierce’s father, wanted to leave immediately. It’s probably because of the mess but I didn’t ask because I trust him.“Bye, mommy. Bye, daddy.” Snow was so happy while waving at us. Pierce’s arm was wrapped around my waist with his hand against my stomach.Dad was carrying Snow while they’re entering the airport terminal. I already feel sad just by the thought of my daughter sleeping without me but I know this is for the best. I can’t keep her by my side when there’s a threat to our lives.I felt Pierce kiss my hair after they disappeared from our sight.“We’ll pick her up once this is over,” he whispered.Actually, he wanted me to leave too. He said it’s safer for me and the baby in my tummy if we leave for another country but I don’t wanna leave him here. Besides, the enemy is my uncle. I have to bring him down on my own. To somehow give justice to my mother’s death
Kelly’s POVPierce explained what he wants to happen. He’s asking help from Emily and Emily will use her father’s resources. I don’t know why she would do this when she hates her father’s illegal business to death. But when I saw how Emily stared at Matt, who’s still sleeping in her bedroom, I remembered how she indirectly confessed to me about her feelings for my cousin.“Klay is taking down all the big leaders of his organization. Of the bosses is my father, actually. And from the information my men gathered, there are only three big bosses left.”I nodded at Emily as she explained everything she discovered.“How many bosses are there?” Pierce asked.“Seven bosses. My father, his biological father, some businessmen and an unknown politician.”“Do you think we can team up with Klay?” Emily asked and I figured she’s asking me when Pierce turned to me.My forehead creased. “Why would we team up with him?”“He has resources, Kelly. And look at him…taking down the bosses one by one by hi
Emily’s POV‘She’s just manipulating you!’‘You’re choosing that whore over me? I am your twin brother!’‘She’s not for you, Matt! There are women in the world. Why would you settle for someone like her?’‘I shouldn’t have dragged you to this country!’Those were the painful words Mason left before he left yesterday and even until now, I can still hear it ringing inside my head. I tried to ignore it, but I just can’t.‘You chose to lose your younger brother. Don’t ever call me again.’I squeezed my eyes closed. I love Matt and the last thing I want to happen to him is lose the people he loves just like what happened to me. I’m not like my father. I won’t insist on things that are not for me. And if…if Matt’s gonna lose his twin brother for choosing me, I’d rather him leave me even if it will hurt and I will be miserable again.He was the only one who saw me as a human. He treasures me even when I told him about my past. He made me feel loved. He values my feelings. I love him…“Miss.”
Kelly’s POVI was walking back and forth in front of the emergency rooms. Mason and Emily are inside and the doctors are operating on them. It was said that Mason still managed to get Emily out of the car while his head was bleeding badly before he lost his consciousness. I don’t know what actually happened. Some witnesses said they’re fighting inside the car and some said a car from another line overtook the other line and almost bumped into Emily’s car causing chaos on the road.Whatever really happened, I don’t care about it anymore. All I could think about is their safety.“KELLY!” Diane Foster came and slapped me on the cheek. She’s crying so hard and was about to slap me again when Pierce stood in front of me and stopped Diane’s hand.“Don’t you dare hurt my wife twice or I’m gonna drag you out of this place.”Diane laughed sarcastically before she landed her sharp eyes on me. “Look what you did to my son, Kelly!”“This isn’t Kelly’s fault. It was an accident!”Diane slapped Pie
Kelly’s POVSeeing Emily on the hospital bed breaks my heart. She’s the friend and sister I found who helped me when I was struggling to survive and save myself. She made me realize that my life is important and made me see that I still have a chance. That no matter how hard I’ve been through, at the end of my path, there was light waiting to be touched.Almost a week ago, the argument between me, Matt, Pierce, and Connor and Diane Foster ended when the doctor announced Emily and Mason’s condition. In the end, Mason and Emily woke up but a huge problem arose, shocking me.Emily lost her memories and what’s worse is she was pregnant and lost her child in the accident. It was painful and so cruel. I didn’t know the whole story behind Emily’s life but I can say that she’s gone through a very hard time.“Please eat…” Matt begged as he tried to feed Emily.Emily looked at him with sharp eyes. “Who are you? Did my father send you? Huh?”Matt shook his head painfully. “No. Your father didn’t
Kelly’s POVI was sitting in front of Klay. Beside me was Pierce. We’re in our house and we called Klay here to talk about what we need to do. There was a series of deafening silence reigning us. There are so many things going on in my mind. I feel awkward. I was used to lashing out at Klay whenever I saw him and seeing him now, after everything, felt awkward.Pierce cleared his throat. “We need your help.”Pierce has always been ambitious and proud but he knows when to lower down his pride and that’s probably one of his traits that I like. He knows what to say and what to do at the right time especially now that he’s matured enough to understand every point of view of the story.Klay’s gaze remained on me for a few seconds before he turned to Pierce. “I’m willing to do anything.”“Connor Foster,” Pierce started as he sighed. “After everything that has happened. I know that he’ll plot something against Kelly.”Klay’s forehead creased. “Did you know who Connor Foster is? Aside from bei
