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
Kelly’s POVI continued running away from the mansion until I heard heavy footsteps following me. I looked back while still running as fast as I could and my heart almost jumped out of my ribcage after seeing Klay and his men running after me.“KELLY!”My lips trembled. No! No! I can’t be caught here!“COME BACK HERE, KELLY!”No! I shook my head as I continued running. I can feel and hear them getting near and it’s scaring me even more. I don’t wanna go back there! I will do everything to escape tonight and I will not give up.“KELLY!”Klay is almost near and just when I’m about to give up, a red sports car came and stopped in front of me. My eyes widened when the door opened. I saw hope and without thinking twice, I slipped myself inside the sports car when I’m not even sure who’s the person who helped me.“KELLY!” That’s the loudest scream I heard tonight.I was panting as the car almost flew in the air. I looked back and saw Klay standing in the middle of the road. His eyes were sh
Klay’s POV“STUPID! STUPID!” I punched all my men and threw every appliance that my hand reached. I kept on shouting and messing my hair in so much anger because of what happened.Kelly escaped and we we’re unable to find them even after we spent the whole night searching. It’s making me so fcking angry how an invalid man was able to lure every guard I scattered around the mansion just because of a mere shout.“Sir—”“WHAT?” I glared at my right hand man and he immediately bowed his head, fear was visible on his face.“W-We couldn’t trace the owner of the sports car.”I balled my fists that were trembling in so much anger. Emily. Emily and Pierce Anderson are the only people who have guts to go against me.If this was one of them, I will make sure that they will suffer in my hands. Especially that b*tch, Emily. I’ve been hunting her since she paid Kelly a visit in the flower shop. Everything started when she paid her a visit. She must’ve said something to Kelly that messed with her mi
Emily’s POVI stared at Kelly who’s watching me while sitting in the driver seat. She looked exhausted but I can no longer see the fear that I saw in her eyes last night. I started the engine and drove away as I called someone and put an earbud on.[Hello?]“I’m leaving her now.”[Is she okay? She’s not hurt, right?]I rolled my eyes and glanced at the side mirror once again. Kelly is now closing the door.“She’s fine. I already told you last night. She’s not hurt.”I heard him sighed in relief. I just shook my head and smirked.[You treated her well, right? I’m telling you, if you don't, I’ll come after you.]I scoffed. “Come on! You think I’m that heartless? She was so scared last night. If you saw her face while running away from that bast*rd, you’d pity her.”[Just make sure that she’s safe. I won’t forgive you if Carver found her.]“Yeah…yeah! Hey! How about my car? I just bought that recently.”[Find it in the river.]My eyes widened in shock. “what the h*ll?”[I’m hanging up no
