Klay’s POVI was gripping my phone tightly while sitting on the bed beside Kelly who’s fast asleep. I was facing her back and she’s wearing s*xy lingerie. Like usual, she looked so hot with that satin night dress but I’m not in the mood to make love to her tonight. I kept on thinking about what Emily must’ve told her for her to think about visiting her father.Fck!I loathe her father for killing my mom. He deserves to rot in hell but his current wife, Amanda, contacted me, saying Mr. Monroe managed to escape. I thought everything was going perfectly the way I wanted it. I thought even just one of what I planned was going smoothly. I was wrong.It might be Emily. She knows what I’ve been doing and this is probably her fault. The reason why she visited Kelly is to ruin my plans that are already ruined.My affection towards Kelly changed my plans, but not all of it. I still want to torment Kelly’s father for putting my mother’s life into end. I still want to get back at him and make him
Kelly’s POVThe pain she inflicted on me when she told me to stay away from her family is still here but it’s not enough for me to treat her badly. Even after everything she said to me, I still found myself walking towards her to welcome her.I slightly bowed my head, showing respect. “Good day, Mrs. Anderson.”“Sorry for the urgent appointment.”I shook my head, “It’s okay, Mrs. Anderson.”Her eyes were hesitant as she looked into my eyes before glancing at my baby bump. I pressed my lips together as my heart skipped a beat. The grandmother of the child inside me is standing in front of me. I didn’t know this could be awkward.“How’s your baby?”I don’t know what to say to her. Her question shocked me. I was expecting her to lash out on me just like what Lexi did. Or irritate me just like Emily. I didn’t know she would ask that and now I’m starting to fear the sound that the door chime creates.“If it’s a girl, she would surely look like you,” Mrs. Anderson added.I averted my gaze.
Kelly’s POVI couldn't ignore him. The fact that he’s here without me telling him about my plans means he knew something’s going on and he didn’t tell me about it. I feel like he doesn’t want me to see my father and it confuses me. Why would he do this? Yes! I hated my father but he knew that he’s still my father. No matter how I hate him, I still care because he’s my flesh and blood.“What are you doing here, Klay?” I asked cautiously.He stared into my eyes intently, “I’m here to accompany you.”“To where?”“To your father.”I looked away for a second and shook my head before looking at him again, “How did you know that I want to see my father? You said he’s on vacation.”“I lied, Kelly.”I was shocked by his own confession. He lied? He lied to me about my father. Why?“I don’t understand why you had to lie, Klay. But I’m telling you now, I will never forgive you if something happens to my father.”“He doesn’t want me to tell you, Kelly. I don’t have a choice.”“Tell me about what?”
Kelly’s POVI grabbed Klay’s arm and dragged him out of my father’s room after he brought a doctor to put my dad into sleep.“What was that, Klay? Why does he look so angry at you? I mean…his…his eyes. They’re furious, Klay. Did you see that? He was trying so hard to reach you as if he’s gonna kill you if he did. Why did he act like that? Tell me.”He clenched his jaws and stared into my eyes intensely. I feel so irritated that he’s just looking at me blankly and not giving me answers.“Klay!”“He’s angry because you’re here, Kelly,” he answered calmly.My forehead immediately creased. “What?”He clenched his jaws again while his eyes were sharp. I don’t know but I’m seeing the old Klay again. The cold and ruthless version of him.“He’s angry because you’re here, Kelly. I told you he doesn’t want you to know about his condition. He’s angry with me because I brought you here.”I pressed my lips together as I remembered him telling me about this. He said he had to lie to me because my d
Kelly’s POVIt was already morning when I woke up. I found some new clothes on the couch with a note from Klay. A sweet smile curved on my lips because of what he did. Never in my wildest dreams that I’d see Klay doing this but this is real.I immediately took a shower and got dressed. I plan to talk to my dad today. Even if he couldn’t utter a proper word, I want to stay by his side and tell him everything that has happened to me all these years. I don’t wanna waste another year so I’m grabbing this opportunity to make up for the lost years with my father and ask for his forgiveness.I was expecting to see Klay in the kitchen but I only saw the maid standing behind a woman, wearing red s*xy lingerie. She was sipping on the glass of orange juice while sitting elegantly on the dining chair like a queen.It’s still early in the morning, but she already has makeup on even when she’s only wearing lingerie.The third wife of my father. She’s Amanda. I already met her once and from the very
Kelly’s POVI was lying on the bed while Klay was beside me, hugging me and caressing my waist. Under the thick blanket, I was only wearing my panties and Klay’s shirt. We’ve been awake for 5 minutes now but I still want to stay on the bed and cuddle with him. Besides, I’m sure dad is still asleep since it’s too early.“What are you thinking?” Klay asked as his hand on my waist gently traveled to my stomach, caressing me there.“Were you always this busy?” I couldn’t help but ask.“I need to take care of your father’s company, Kelly.”Speaking of, I remember what Amanda said. I lifted my face and looked at him. My chin rested on his chest as I met his eyes.“Amanda mentioned that dad has debts. Do you know about that?”Klay’s eyes immediately sharpened. He looked irritated as he stared back at me. “Don’t listen to her.”“But, I want to know. Is she telling the truth, Klay?”He sighed and brushed his fingers against the soft strands of my hair. “That’s why I’m busy. I’m doing everythin
Kelly’s POV“Are you okay? Did she hurt you?” Klay asked worriedly after Amanda walked out on us. My eyes followed her as she stormed out of the dining hall while Klay stayed by my side, looking at me with worried eyes.“Kelly…”I took a deep sigh and looked at him as I palmed my forehead. “I feel like she’s planning something against me.”He looked alarmed because of what I said. He stared into my eyes intently.“Don’t think about it too much. She just wants to annoy you.”“She won’t annoy me without a reason, Klay. I know she hates me and I feel like she’s planning something against me. She wants to get rid of me.”He shook his head, “Kelly…”I shrugged my shoulders and pressed my lips together. I feel like he doesn’t believe me. So I had to shut my mouth and think about it on my own.“Sit down. I’ll prepare your breakfast. What do you want?”“Just…” I took a deep sigh. “...just fresh milk and bread.”“Okay. Just sit and calm down.”I didn’t say anything. I just watched him as he pu
Kelly’s POVI couldn’t sleep. I kept on thinking about my dad’s desperate cries. It keeps on ringing inside my head and I couldn’t forget about it. His warnings too. He wants me to leave and run away but he knows that I won’t do that. We’re just starting to reconcile and make up for the years we’ve lost and I won’t let a mere third wife ruin my family.I felt Klay’s familiar scent and his footsteps from the bathroom. So I quickly shut my eyes. I know he’d be worried if he saw me still awake so I pretended to be asleep. He told me after dinner that he needs to stay in the company so he’s leaving tonight. I want to talk to him about Amanda but he’s already so busy. And while he’s working for my father’s company, I need to find evidence to prove Amanda’s wicked intentions. I won’t allow her to stay longer in this house.After a few seconds, I felt Klay kissing me on my lips as he whispered… “Sleep tight, babe. I’ll be here before you wake up. I love you.”His sweetness touched my heart,
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
