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,
