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
Klay’s POVI was driving my car to go to the place where I can find Emily when one of my men called. I sent some of my people to guard Kelly from the dark. I know she wouldn't like it but I need to do this. I’ve been watching her for quite a while now. This is not only to keep her safe, but to keep me sane. I need information about what she's doing every day so I can sleep peacefully at night. To know that she’s happy and content was the only reason I have for watching her. I’m fine with that.[Sir, Miss Kelly was ambushed.]The loud screech of my car was the result of my sudden brake. I gritted my teeth and grabbed my phone from the dashboard.“What did you say?”[They were going home when someone shot their car’s tire. She’s safe, but her guards are still chasing the shooter.]I clenched my jaws and without thinking twice, I maneuvered the car and took a U-turn.It’s Kelly so no matter where I’m going or how important I’m going to do, I will always turn around and run back to her. I
Kelly’s POVPierce’s men are now evacuating all the employees in my dad and mom’s company. We’re just about to leave to help when one of the guards left to guard us fell on the floor, bleeding and lifeless. I gasped as I stared at his eyes that were still open. He got a gunshot wound on his forehead and my heart immediately raced in fear. I remember the night I was kidnapped when I was young. It was scary and... traumatizing.Pierce immediately grabbed my hand and dragged me towards the kitchen while the other guards were welcoming the newly arrived enemies with gunshots. What he did brought me back to reality.One of the guards gave Pierce a gun before he went out to help the others. I’m panicking and all I could think about is surviving this day without getting hurt or losing my baby or Pierce.“Where are we going?” I asked while I still could hear the loud gunshots echoing in the whole house.Pierce licked his bottom lip and opened the sliding door. “We need to escape.”He guided m
Klay’s POVI continued digging the soil until I found a casket. My eyes widened after I opened it and saw Emily inside. She’s pale and unconscious. No! No! Kelly will hate me more! She will never forgive me if she loses Emily.I carried Emily and laid her on the grass. I leaned and listened to her heartbeat. I cursed out loud and started giving her CPR.“Emily! Emily, open your fcking eyes!” I said gritting my teeth before I gave her air through her mouth. I did it constantly until I heard her coughing and gasping for air.I looked at her while panting. I swallowed hard and helped her sit. She looked at me while gasping for air and when our gazes met, her eyes immediately watered and she cried so hard as she lifted her arm and caressed my cheek.“Leo!” She sobbed.I clenched my jaws. Leo…I carried her in a bridal way before she could hug me. “I’ll bring you to the hospital.”I should bring her to the hospital even if people might recognize me as a wanted criminal.I gently put Emily
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
