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
Klay’s POVBroadening my authority, strengthening my power and introducing my organization in this country will help me easily find Kelly. Manipulating the higher authority in this country for my own benefit will be of great help and I will do everything to find Kelly. To do that, I need the connection of Emily’s father since he has control all over this country.I came here to negotiate with him but he asked me to marry his stubborn daughter in exchange for a more powerful bond between our organization. It’s in my favor since I know Emily is crazy over me. I will use her until I’m completely done. However, I didn’t expect Emily to rudely refuse marrying me.When I got back to the mansion, the maid’s were in chaos. My forehead creased.“what the h*ll is happening?”“S-Sir, Miss Amanda hurt Mr. Monroe.”“What?” I rushed upstairs and went straight to Mr. Monroe’s room. I laughed sarcastically when I saw him sitting on his wheelchair while his cheek was reddish and swollen. His eyes were
Kelly’s POVDay two of hiding in Emily’s house. I feel like it’s already a thousand years. Living alone is really not for me. I feel like I’d lose my mind every time the hands of the clock move. I was just thankful that I have a baby. At least I can pass my time talking to the life inside me,While sitting on the couch and eating a sandwich that I made, I turned the television on and was alarmed after I saw Klay and Emily’s photo on the headline news.‘Current CEO of Monroe Group of Companies and the heir of Gold Empire, getting married.’My eyes widened in shock because of the news. Emily didn’t tell me about this. What is this?Following the news was the live interview of Klay and Emily.I feel like I had goosebumps when I looked at Klay’s eyes, looking straight into the camera. I feel like he’s looking at me and his stares are giving me a terrific feeling.Swallowing hard, I sat straight on the couch and waited for the interview to start. I was listening carefully as the host intro
Kelly’s POVMy shoulders and hands were trembling. The news on the television kept playing in my mind over and over again. The last smile. The last talk. The last hug. I remember everything that happened before dad made me escape. He smiled at me and said’ he’d wait for me.The fear of losing someone I love brought my heart back to the darkest pit of misery and I couldn’t accept it.I lost my dad. He jumped off the window but was it true? Klay planned to kill my baby and he can kill my dad too. Given that he already threatened me to kill my dad if I escape from him and I did. I escaped.Sobbing, I stared at the man sitting in front of me after I pushed him away and wiped my tears. He’s wearing a bullcap, black jeans and shirt and has a fake beard but I can easily recognize him. The second man who has ever broken my heart after my dad. The second man I trusted but ended up hurting me for his first love.The look in his face and the gentleness in his eyes were so familiar. I could never
Klay’s POVI slammed my fists on the steering wheel after the men I scattered inside the airport reported to me. They’re all looking down like a scared cat. They knew I don’t like their report and I’m so close to choking each and every one of them in so much anger.“Sir…” Another group of men came rushing. “A pregnant woman collapsed inside. She was brought to the clinic.”I immediately jumped off the car and walked towards the terminal. I went straight to the clinic and gritted my teeth after seeing the pregnant woman they’re talking about.“Come here,” I coldy told the one who reported it to me.I punched him on the face as soon as he stood in front of me.“STUPID!” I shouted.“Sir, you can’t cause a scene here.”I glared at the nurse who immediately stepped back. I left the clinic while my stupid men were following me. I went back to the car and balled my fists again.Kelly… I don’t know why you can’t accept me again. This happened to me because of that old man’s selfishness. I was
Kelly’s POV“Kelly…”A soft hand caressing my cheeks and a gentle voice woke me up from my deep slumber. When I opened my eyes, Pierce’s gentle brown eyes greeted me.“Wake up. We’re here.”That woke me up completely. I looked around and realized we’re still in the plane. “Where did you bring me?”“To my villa.”That shocked me. Why did he bring me here and more importantly, why is he helping me? I understand if he still considers me as his best friend but this isn’t right. He’s getting married. Helping me like this will only bring misunderstanding between him and his fiance.“Don’t look at me like that, Kelly. You know why I’m doing this,” he said, looking away.He pulled himself up and carried my bag. He offered his hand to me but I pulled myself up without accepting his help.My legs are still weak and my heart is still aching because of what happened to my dad. If this was Klay’s fault, I swear I will do everything to make him pay. I will not stop until he’s begging for my mercy.
Kelly’s POVI woke up late the next day. The smell of something delicious filled my nose as soon as I went downstairs. The house is huge and yet simple, so I easily got familiarized with the access. Wearing a white dress, I entered the kitchen and found Pierce standing in front of the stove. He’s wearing sweat pants and black shirt. His hair was disheveled and his back looked so s*xy in the morning.I stared at his back. He still has an effect on me but it’s not as fierce as before. My heartbeat is normal. I still love him but I’m no longer in love with him. I don’t know if staying here with him will do good to me or what. However, I will just keep a distance to keep things like this.“You’re up.”His gentle voice brought me back to reality. I smiled at him and entered the kitchen. I sat on the stool while he’s in front of me. There’s an island counter between us, but I feel like we’re so close.“How’s your sleep?” He looked into my eyes intently as if searching for something.“I had
Kelly’s POVI sniffed and pushed Pierce away when I saw the saleslady walking back. She’s carrying white and pink colored dress of the same style and design.“Here, ma’am. This color will suit your skin perfectly.”I accepted the dress and nodded before I walked towards the fitting room. I wiped my cheeks and took a deep breath while calming myself down.When I got out of the fitting room, Pierce was sitting on the couch while looking around. When he lifted his face, our eyes met. He walked towards me and looked at the dress in my hand.“Do you still want to roam around the shop?”I shook my head. He nodded and grabbed the dress from me. He handed it to the saleslady together with some other dresses I think he chose and paid for it. While I was waiting for him, I looked at my own reflection in the mirror. My lips and cheeks were pinkish. I’m stressed and feel so lifeless because of everything that happened, but I still look glowing because of pregnancy.“Your wife is so pretty. You lo
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
