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,
Kelly’s POV“...be my partner in bed again.”Klay is here inside Amanda’s room and what? Bed partners?I couldn’t move. I only heard those words but I felt like my world crumbled up and started falling. They had a past? They’re disgusting!“What made you think that you can get me through your wicked ways, Amanda? May I remind you that I’m Klay Carver. You can never hold me in your little dirty hands.”“Come on, Klay. You know that I’m your only ally in this house. Once Kelly finds out what you have been planning all along…she will leave you.”My forehead creased. He’s planning something?I quickly hid myself and rested my back against the wall. I gripped the documents in my hands tight as I pressed my lips together, restraining myself from attacking the two people inside who had wicked plans from the very beginning.Klay…I trusted you.“Shut up, b*tch! Dare to intervene with my relationship with Kelly or I will not think twice to shoot you between your eyes. You know me. I’m not an al
Kelly’s POVI slowed down on the staircase as I saw Klay at the end of the stairs looking up at me. I clenched my jaws and made a straight face as I continued walking.“Kelly…”I walked past him, ignoring him completely.In the kitchen, I saw Amanda having breakfast while scrolling on her phone. She was smiling but after she felt my presence, she rolled her eyes.“I’m done here. I lost my appetite.”I laughed sarcastically after she walked out of the dining hall.She still has the guts to act like that after everything I heard last night? She’s really a thick-faced b*tch.“Kelly, let’s talk.” Klay followed me that made me so irritated so early in the morning.Last night, I locked the door in my room so he doesn’t have a choice but to sleep in his own bedroom that was a guest room before.“Kelly…”I pushed his arm away when he attempted to lock me between his body and the refrigerator.He sighed but I didn’t throw him even a single glance. I’m just staying because I still need to wait
Klay’s POVKelly has been ignoring me and it worsened after I talked to her last night, threatening her with her father’s life.I puffed my cigarette and stared at the air. I was sitting on the single couch inside the study room. There are folders and papers scattered on the floor behind the working table and I know Kelly did this.She already found out about Amanda’s scheme and she also learned about my plans.I don’t wanna hurt her. Heaven knows I don’t. I love her. So d*mn much but I couldn’t bring myself to forgive her father for what he’s done to my mom.I gritted my teeth after I remembered how she looked at me with nothing but hatred and disappointment.She already fell for me. She loved me but her anger was so intense that she forgot about it.I can’t blame her. It was all my fault. I did this to us. I hurt her. But am I really the one to blame for this? I just want to avenge my mother’s cruel death. Her father killed her. I just want to give my mother the justice she deserves
Kelly’s POVAmanda’s words kept bugging me. I don’t wanna believe her but I don’t know Klay well. The only thing I can do now is confront Klay to know the truth. The problem is I don’t wanna talk to him. I don’t even wanna see his face because I feel like seeing him suffocates me.He made me believe in such lies and it shattered my heart that’s just starting to heal.“Dad, what’s that?” I asked when I saw him trying to reach something underneath his pillow.I helped him get it and something touched my heart after I saw my mom’s photo. He’s still keeping this.I noticed that there’s no single picture of my mom in the whole mansion. I bet it’s all because of Amanda’s doing.Smiling, I caressed my mom’s photo before I slowly handed it to my dad.“You’re still keeping this?”He smiled back and nodded slowly before he looked at mom’s photo. I just smiled before I pulled myself up and went beside the window. I looked outside and saw some of Klay’s men guarding the house.He threatened to hu
