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
Kelly’s POVI was staring at my little angel while breastfeeding her. Her hands were balled and so small and soft. She looks like me when I was young. The resemblance was undeniable and I’m thankful she looks exactly like me. Actually, I’m scared and nervous because the baby may resemble Pierce and he would find out about her real father when that happened. So when she came out looking like me, I was relieved.Pierce was sitting beside me on the bed, watching the baby. When I looked at him, he didn't seem to be blinking. He was just staring at her face with a soft expression.The door swung open, interrupting us. A nurse entered carrying a piece of paper and a ballpen.“Good morning, ma’am and sir. I came to ask the name of your baby. You can write the name here.”Pierce accepted the piece of paper and the ballpen before he looked at me. “What would be her name?”I turned my head to the window. A smile crept on my lips as I saw the droplets of white cotton-like balls outside. It’s so
Pierce’s POVI kept on thinking about what Kelly said as I watched her in her sleep. The baby is beside her, sleeping peacefully. They looked exactly alike. They even have the same sleeping position and I love watching them. However, the thing Kelly said has still been lingering in my mind.Tomorrow, Kelly will be discharged from the hospital and she indirectly told me to go back to a life without her. I see she doesn’t need me anymore. It hurts but I’m still thankful that she let me stay here for a few months. She let me take care of her. She allowed me to see her baby. That beautiful baby that looks like her.Slowly, I let my finger run gently on Kelly’s face. I felt my heart racing because of the mere touch. It’s a waste how I hurt her just because I thought I’m still in love with Lexi. I was wrong. I hurt the woman who stayed with me when I was drowning in the dark. I sucked all of her until she’s drained and couldn’t stay with me anymore.Looking at her now, I can see that she’s
Pierce’s POVI’m exhausted, dizzy and sleepy when I got inside Lexi’s condo unit. Mom was the one who greeted me and she looked worried.I held her shoulders and hugged. “Mom. Where is she?”“She’s still in the bathroom. How’s Kelly? I’m sorry. I just couldn’t convince Lexi to come out.”I nodded at her. “You can go home now and rest, mom. I’ll handle this.”She nodded. “Okay. Talk to her calmly. Whatever your decision will be, I’ll be here to support you.”Clenching my jaws, I nodded again. After mom left, I knocked on the bathroom.“Lexi…”“Pierce?” Her voice was shaky and hesitant.I took a deep breath. “Come out. Let’s talk.”The door swung open and Lexi threw herself at me. She looked so happy but when I pulled her arms from my neck, her smile slowly faded.“Let’s talk about us now.”She smiled again. Her eyes twinkled. “You’re here because you chose me, right? Let’s get married. I already chose my wedding dress and your—”“Lexi, I want out.”Her forehead creased. “What?”I clenc
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
