Kelly’s POVI’ve been eating my meals secretly. I had to blackmail Ana to help me lie to everyone around this house so it will reach Klay. Using my own health against him might work so I’m pretending to be not eating for the whole day, just so I can somehow nudge his conscience.I was sitting on the bed and locking myself inside my room. I’m so bored here. I want to go out but I have to sacrifice a little. To rebel so Klay would let me go. I really wanted to start a life on my own and I won’t be able to do that if he’s holding me around my neck and caging me in his world.The night is about to go dark but I’m still waiting for Klay’s decision. Although I would still insist on moving out if he won’t agree.The door suddenly swung open just when I thought of giving up. Klay’s butler entered and I was expecting him to come either but he didn’t“Miss Kelly, Sir Klay gave his permission. You can move out but he strictly instructed that you shouldn't move out too far.”A smile slowly crept
Kelly’s POV“Why did you do that?” I said, trying to hold my temper. My three employees are now around us, waiting for my signal to intervene but I won’t drag them in.“Is this how you treat your customers? Turning your back on them?”“Why? You wanna buy my flowers? Unfortunately, I only sell my flowers to those who genuinely want my products.”She gritted her teeth. “Don’t act so high and mighty, Kelly. You are still a loser. You’re trying so hard to soar high and reach my level but you know that you can never equal me in any aspect.”I laughed sarcastically as I faced her completely. “I’m not trying to equal you because from the very beginning, I am above you. Proven by how you rushed here accusing me of some ridiculous bullsh*ts. You’re just finding someone to blame, Lexi.”“Don’t act so innocent, Kelly! I know you are trying to steal my fiance!”“Are you really accusing me of that, Lexi? Are you that scared of your own shadow? You think I’ll stoop on your level just to get back at
Kelly’s POVHow did he find me? I don’t know what to do while standing in front of him. He was holding my hands while kneeling in front of me. The corner of my eyes pooled with tears. Seeing him like this breaks my heart. I let him go so he can finally be happy with the woman he truly loves but why is he like this?His hair grew. He even has facial hair now. His eyes has dark circles around and he seemed to have lose weight.“H-How did you find me?”He shook his head, “I’m sorry. I-I’ve been following you.”I squeezed my eyes closed and pulled my hands back. “What are you doing, Pierce? Why are you doing this?”My heart feels so heavy. The content of his diary was still messing with my mind and now he’s here, messing with my heart. Why is he so complicated? Why is he doing this to me? He asked me to let him go because he wants his first love back, now he wants me back? For what reason?I pressed my lips together and looked at him with a hardened expression, “You should leave, Pierce.
Pierce’s POVKelly shove me away. She doesn’t wanna see me anymore. She didn’t even believe me when I told her that I’m in love with her. It was all too late for us. I was too late when I realized my feelings. I couldn’t bring back the time, but I want another chance to make things right. I was already with the person I should end up with, but I ruined everything because of my stupid feelings for Lexi.“Where have you been?”I paused right after I entered my house. It was a new house given by my mother as a gift after my engagement with Lexi. She doesn’t want to live in the same house where I used to live with Kelly and I don’t want to live there too because in every corner of that house, I can see the woman I married.I swallowed hard and looked away. I walked towards the kitchen and she trailed me, asking the same question.“I’m asking you, Pierce. Where have you been? You didn’t come home for days. What’s wrong with you?”I didn’t come home because I spent those days in the house w
Kelly’s POVThe morning was calm and bright. I was arranging some bouquets when the door chime created a soft noise and someone entered the shop. I prepared a sweet smile and was about to greet our first customer for the day when I realized who it was.Wearing a black tshirt, faded jeans, black rubber shoes and an exposed necklace with a thick chain and anchor as the pendant, Klay entered with a straight face. He was already walking towards my way.He looked so handsome in his casual attire. I even saw a woman enter the shop after him, looking at him shamelessly, pretending to be interested in flowers.I felt awkward around him because of our argument but I gave him a welcoming smile, “Good morning. Are you looking for a particular flower?”He stopped a meter away from me and roamed his eyes around. My lips parted as I realized he’s too tall and the level of my eyesight just reached his neck.“What flower symbolizes a sincere apology?”An apology? He must’ve upset Emily and he’s tryin
Kelly’s POVI was standing in front of the full length mirror while looking at myself when Klay knocked on my bedroom. I gave him my address to pick me up for the charity gala tonight.When he entered, our gazes met through the mirror. I smiled at him as he looked at me with his usual serious face. I’m wearing a black gown and although my baby bump is now obvious, I could still proudly say that the shape of my body is perfect for the dress.Klay slowly walked towards me and stopped behind me. For some reason, I found myself unable to take my eyes off of him through the mirror. He’s wearing a black suit while his hair is waxed and brushed backwards. He looked so dashing and I can’t help but to silently praise his looks.Without saying anything, Klay put a beautiful necklace on my neck. The elegance of the necklace complimented my dress perfectly. My hair that was curled to the tips reached my waist as the color of my skin stood out from the color of my dress.“You look perfect,” Klay w
Kelly’s POV“PIERCE!” I shouted when Pierce grabbed Klay and punched him on the face. His eyes were sharp and burning as he tried to attack Klay again but I blocked his way, spreading my arms as I protected Klay.Pierce looked at me with painful eyes as he shook his head, “I’m sorry, Kelly. I was forced to say those words…”“Why are you here?” I asked instead of paying attention to what he’s saying.He swallowed hard, “Kelly, I want you back.”“Are you stupid?” Klay punched this time and I couldn’t stop them anymore as they started exchanging punches.Klay knows boxing and I’m worried that he might send Pierce to the hospital but I was shocked after realizing that Pierce can fight too. Since when did he learn to fight?“You want her back? *sshole! You lost your chance!”“She’s mine, Carver! She’s originally mine! She belongs to me and not to some devil like you!”“STOP IT! STOP FIGHTING!” I shouted but they wouldn't stop.I swallowed hard and looked around. That’s when I saw Klay’s ri
Kelly’s POVI kept on swallowing hard, feeling the discomfort between my legs. Under the thick sheet of blanket, I’m only wearing a large black shirt owned by the man laying behind me. His arm was resting on my waist and his warmth wasn't helping with my messy thoughts.I’ve been awake for almost twenty minutes now but I still can’t process what happened.I feel so ashamed of what happened. I slept with Klay. I had s*x with my step brother and this is making me so crazy. Yes, we’re not related by blood but the fact that his late mother was once married to my father, I couldn’t help but feel stupid.I need to get up. Yes!I was about to pull myself up when Klay’s arm around my waist tightened. My eyes widened after realizing that he’s now awake.“Where are you going?” He asked with a hoarse, bedroom voice.My lips parted, the same time I felt my heart skip a beat. It’s confirmed. I have feelings for him and what happened between us last night intensified those hidden feelings.I flinch
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
