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
Kelly’s POVLiving in a new environment wasn’t easy, harder because I’m living with no one but my little angel by my side. No one’s there to help me when she won’t stop crying because of something I couldn't figure out. No one would carry her once my arms were numb and hurting already. No one would offer to take care of her at night whenever she wakes up and cries.Those things were done by Pierce when I was with him, but then I decided to leave and I won’t regret anything.“Please take care of her while I’m at work. I will do my best to go home early.”The nanny I hired for my daughter smiled and nodded at me. She’s a middle-aged woman living in the next apartment I’m renting. She offered help when we had a conversation one time and I mentioned to her that I’m searching for a nanny.I’ve been living in this apartment for almost 4 months now and my savings were about to run off. I need to start working now so I would be able to save for my baby.“Don’t worry about anything, Elle. I wi
Kelly’s POVLuck came to me when I was struggling to survive in a foreign country. I’d say the Heavens was with me all the time, guiding me throughout my journey on a rough road. My life as a mother has become more complicated and hard, but for my little angel, I didn’t give up.Five long years had passed. My life is now finally okay. I have a stable job. Thanks to Martha’s daughter who recommended me to her boss. Now, it’s been 2 years since I started working in an Event Organizing Company under the Event Operations Department. I am now a hospitality coordinator.“Congratulations, Elle. You deserve the position.”I smiled at my colleagues who believed in me. Our team is full of positive people, cheering for each other’s success. I’m happy that I met these people. Although rumors cannot really be avoided, I’m still thankful that I get this high all by myself.Our company expanded branches and now, together with some in our team, I’m being transferred to our new branch—in my home count
Kelly’s POVThe anonymous message got me thinking hard about the sender of the message. Even before all this mess started, there was only one person who really helped me during the critical moments in my life. She made me realize what was wrong. She silently cared. She secretly helped. I can only think of one person who would send me such a message.While unpacking, I ordered some food for lunch. I waited for only 15 minutes before someone rang the doorbell. The man, wearing a delivery uniform and carrying the food I ordered, shocked me. I didn’t know I’d see him again and I can see that he’s also shocked after recognizing me.“M-Miss Kelly…”I looked outside to check if someone saw him. When I saw no one, I grabbed his arm and immediately locked the door behind him.“Luke!”He blinked as he stared at my face.“Mommy, hungry!” Snow came running to me hugging her doll.Luke turned to her and his eyes widened in shock.“Is this the food I ordered?” I asked, pointing at the paper bag he’
Kelly’s POV“So, dad’s remaining asset was just the company,” I said while reading the documents my dad’s lawyer sent me. I’m talking to him through my computer and he explained everything I can do to get the company back.“Yes, Kelly. While the houses owned by your father were already sold to different people. The only house left was the one that’s under your third stepmother’s name. You can only claim it if you buy it from her.”I nodded and lifted my face, looking at the screen. “Can I acquire some shares to get the company back without revealing my identity? Will it cause a problem?”“I don’t think that would cause a problem. As long as you are the legal owner of the share.”“Then, I’ll start buying shares until I acquire the highest. It would put me in the highest position in the company.”“That’s a smart move, Kelly. But will you be able to do it secretly? Klay is the current President of the company. You know him. He’s cunning and deadly smart.”I took a deep sigh. “I just have
