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
Klay’s POV“EMILY!” I shouted angrily after I got in her condo. I found her sitting on the couch while drinking wine and eating pizza.“What the fck did you do?” I growled at her and kicked the coffee table. It turned upside down and the pizza scattered on the floor.Her eyes followed her food before she looked at me again. She licked her lips as she stared back at me with blank eyes.“What?”I gritted my teeth. “You pulled some strings and got us a fcking prenuptial agreement?”Her eyebrow shot up as she tilted her head and a smirk curved on her lips. “You figured it out, huh?”I grabbed her jaws and pressed my fingers on her cheek as I glared at her sharply. “You think I won’t be able to get your wealth because of that? Nothing can stop me. Even law.”She chuckled. “You think you can scare me? You better stop your obsession over Kelly Monroe or else I won’t stop doing crazy things. I told you, Klay. Once you marry me, there’s no turning back. You will have to deal with me for the re
