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
Klay’s POVI’m sitting on the dining chair while roaming around the kitchen. This apartment is small but suitable for someone who’s single. There’s two bedrooms and I supposed Ana was the one using the other bedroom. I know Kelly brought her when she moved out.While I was waiting for Kelly, I remembered everything that happened last night. She gave herself to me and even when it’s out of impulsiveness, I can feel that she didn’t regret anything. She willingly gave herself to me and I couldn’t help but to feel so happy and proud.The woman I’m interested in seemed to be interested too. What’s more amusing than that? I couldn't be happier that I prepared our breakfast. I cooked it myself even when Ana tried to stop me.“Sir, do you want coffee?”I shook my head while looking at the food on the small dining table, “I’ll wait for Kelly.”“Should I call her now, sir?”Ana seemed afraid of seeing me angry. I couldn’t blame her. She knows that I become evil when angry but today is different
Kelly’s POVKlay didn’t show up for two days after I told him to give me time the next morning after we spent the night together. My apartment was at peace during the weekend and Pierce didn’t insist on seeing me and talking to me. Somehow, I felt at ease. But I also know they’re just trying to give me some space. I know them too well. They are persistent. They won’t stop showing me what’s on their head.“Ma’am, our orders have piled up today. Even though it’s keeping us busy, this is good news.”I smiled at Yara, my assistant. She’s sitting on a chair with me while we’re arranging flowers. The other employees are on the other table doing the same.Yara’s right. We’ve become busy since this morning and I’m thankful because it made me occupied.“Miss Kelly.”I lifted my chin when one of my employees approached me carrying a bouquet of red roses. It was the bouquet she arranged a while ago.“Yes?”“One of our clients called and told me to give these to you, Miss Kelly.”My lips parted a
Kelly’s POVYara kept on looking at me and Klay alternatively. Her lips were curved into a playful smirk and her eyes were judging and teasing me. I feel like I’m about to pass out in embarrassment so I walked towards Klay and grabbed his wrist. Without saying anything, I dragged him to my office and locked the door. My heart was racing and I felt like I ran a mile because of what happened.My employees will surely tease me because of Klay. Why did he even announce that he wants to date me? Argh!I looked at Klay in disbelief when I heard his soft chuckle.“What?” I asked, raising an eyebrow as I faced him.He smirked, “Why did you lock the door? They’ll think we’re gonna make you—”I covered his mouth with my palm and frowned. I was about to ask why he came here when he suddenly took a single step closer, caging me between his body and the locked door. I swallowed hard and was about to escape when he pressed both of palms against the door as his face leaned down and closer.“W-What a
Kelly’s POVI kept on shaking my head while walking away from my office. Did I just agree to make him my suitor? Did I just give him permission to court me?I paused and palmed my cheeks. Oh my God! What should I do? I can’t go back and take it back, he won’t let me.Biting my bottom lip, I pressed my cheeks and groaned. What if he hurt me too? What if I made the wrong decision? Just thinking about it makes me so worried. I don’t know why he suddenly confessed that he’s in love with me. I don’t know since when he started liking me but I must admit that it’s affecting me so much and this is not a good thing, especially if he’s not sincere. However, his eyes were showing me his sincerity.God! I don’t know what to do anymore.“I smell something…” Yara, who met me halfway, grinned suspiciously.I felt my cheeks heated as I shook my head, “Nothing happened, Yara.”“Oh!” She gasped. “I didn’t say anything, ma’am.”I frowned at her, “You wanna get fired?”She moved her forefinger side to si
Kelly’s POVI don’t wanna act affected even when Pierce’s cold stares really affects me. He already saw me with Klay and he just stared like I’m some random stranger. However, Lexi who’s by his side immediately wrapped her arm around his arm after seeing me looking at them.“Kelly, we can just find another restaurant if—”“Let’s just stay,” I said and slowly lifted my face to look at Klay. He was looking down at me with a worried face.Finally, I was able to smile after the shock of seeing Pierce and Lexi in the same restaurant.“We don’t have to leave. We came here first and you already made a reservation.”He clenched his jaws as he stared into my eyes. His dark orbs were staring back into my eyes as if weighing my emotions and reactions. I know he’s worried but I can perfectly handle my emotions. I’ve learned to hide my real feelings and this is not new to me.“Are you sure?”I was about to nod at Klay when I saw Lexi and Pierce walking towards our table. I sucked my breath, keepin
Kelly’s POVLetting go. That’s what I’m waiting for him to do. To finally let me go and end everything between us. I’ve been forcing him to forget about me, thinking I was the only one who’s hurt but I was wrong. The pain in his eyes and in his voice made me realize that it’s not just about me. It was also about him unable to let go because of guilt and the new feelings he discovered.What took you so long to realize your feelings, Pierce? You wasted us and you hurt me so much.It’s making me so angry that he couldn’t properly distinguish his feelings. It’s maddening that he’s still confused between his feelings for me and Lexi. But I know that when he finally said he’s letting me go, we’re completely over.We’re finally over. He’s not gonna chase me anymore. It’s sickening to see him following me, begging me to accept him again even when he’s already engaged to Lexi. He’s still a coward. He never learns. And now, he finally let me go. But what if I give Klay a chance and he hurt me?
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
