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
Kelly’s POVI woke up feeling comfortable while lying on the long couch. A blanket was keeping me warm and I could smell a delicious aroma of something from the kitchen. I slowly pulled myself up and sat on the couch. I felt the need to pee and when I was about to push myself up, Pierce came and held my arm, supporting me.I looked at him as he put the blanket on the couch and held my waist carefully. He knew what to do, so he accompanied me upstairs and brought me to the bathroom inside my room.He opened the cover of the toilet before he went out of the bathroom. I was watching him as he did that and my baby suddenly kicked. I bit my bottom lip and walked slowly towards the water closet.“You recognize your dad, hmm,” I whispered as I gently caressed my baby bump.My due date is approaching fast and my baby bump is really heavy. I always have a hard time walking around and moving comfortably. However, talking to my baby is really enjoyable.Pierce knocked twice followed by his voice
Pierce’s POVI pulled away and stared at her face. Swallowing hard, I moved away from her.If it’s just me, I would still kiss her to my heart’s content. If it’s just me I would grab this opportunity to make up for my mistakes and ask for another chance but I know it will never be easy especially after everything she’s been through. The first man she trusted hurt her, her father. I hurt her too. She fell in love with Klay Carver, but he lied to her and hurt her too.Kelly has been wounded eversince and taking advantage of her like this shouldn’t be an option for me to make her love me again.She must’ve been traumatized by the pain we inflicted in her. If I insist on doing this just to feed my longingness and force her to reciprocate my love for her, how different am I from a rude thief trying to rob her of a good life?“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done that,” I said and swallowed hard again as I pulled myself up.She stared at me with a blank face. I can’t read her expression. Ever s
Klay’s POVI was staring at Kelly’s photo while drinking alcohol. I was constantly clenching my jaws in anger. Her beautiful face and smile that kept on haunting my sleeping and waking hours. Her cries, I can hear it in my head. Her eyes, looking at me with rage and hatred, I can see it every single day. Every corner of this fcking house reminds me of her presence and how happy we we’re.Why can’t I find her? A few months feels so fcking long without her. I’m going crazy. I wanna see her or I’ll completely lose my mind.She’s my hope. She’s my reason. I don’t think I can function well without her. I feel like dying every single day. I can’t last like this.I balled my fists and tilted my head as I remember that I haven’t seen Pierce Anderson from the photos that my private investigator has been sending me. I assigned someone to watch his family and for a few months, he’s nowhere to be seen.I have a huge hunch that he’s the one hiding my girlfriend and once I see him, I will fcking to
