PIERCE'S POV I turned around to see who called me and I saw Kiana and Lucy a few feets away staring at me as I fired May for her insolence... I just fired May for being so mean to her but the looks on her face shows that she's not pleased with my decision which is weird because this lady acted like a bitch and she should be pleased that I got rid of her.I walked over to Kiana so that I can find out what the problem is because I am really confused here. First she didn't tell me what may did to her and now she's obviously not happy with my decision." Excuse me guys." Lucy said as soon as I got to them and left." Please don't fire her." Kiana said as soon as Lucy left." Why is that?" I asked curiously because I really want to know why she's helping someone that was so mean to her." I don't just want her to lose her job on my account, she made a mistake and I am sure she regrets what she did." Kiana reasoned." Why didn't you tell me about her, I found out while watching the securit
PIERCE'S POV It's a little weird to find my sister waiting for me in my office without letting me know she's around. Ashley has been away for the weekend and I know she said she's coming back home today but I thought I will see her later in the evening when I get back home." Hey bro, I have missed you." She said excitedly as she got up and gave me a hug." I have missed you too but why are you here?" I asked curiously as she pulled away from the hug." Well I just got home and since I have missed you so much, I decided to bring you the lunch I made." She said while smiling and I noticed the food on the table.If I had known she was bringing lunch I wouldn't have stopped at the restaurant to get lunch." Hem." Stan cleared his throat and I have a feeling he is up to something." I'm standing right here Ashley and you are yet to give me my hug, besides I don't see my lunch." He whined and it made me laugh but I decided to let them iron things out themselves." How many times do I have
PIERCE'S POV I don't have a problem giving her any of my cards but not the black card, she can be too reckless and extravagant some times and I really don't like her doing too much, if I give her the black card, I am sure she will go on a shopping spree with Ken and they will do the most and i don't want to encourage that life style." No black card for you girl, you can take any other card and the title." I said plainly." I don't know why you always refuse to give me the black card, it's unlimited and I can never drain it." She whined while giving me her puppy dog eyes but I won't fall for it." I know, you can't even drain it even if you try but I just don't want you to have it. You know what, just go home. I have work to do." I said teasingly." No bro, I can't go home until we have an agreement." She insisted stubbornly.I can tell she's not willing to give in and I really want her to keep the details of my wedding away from our parents, so I checked the time and it's already a
ASHLEY'S POV I'm currently in one of my favorites places with my best friend and my brothers black card, yet I am not having a good time. Knowing that I have enough money to shop always gets me so hyped but not today, not after everything Pierce just said and to think he gave me his card just to keep our parents from finding out the real truth." Girl, we should totally enter this store." Ken suddenly said and interrupted my thoughts. I looked up and noticed that it's a Victoria's secret store but I am not really in the mood." Yeah, sure." I said dryly." What's the problem girl, you have been wanting his card for so long and now you finally have it but you don't seem excited." He pointed out and he is right.I wanted the card so bad and I have it now but only because of that Kiana bitch, I know he said their relationship is contractual but I have a bad feeling about it." It's nothing, I am fine." I lied as I made my way into the store." I know you well enough to know that you are
KIANA'S POV I'm so anxious and nervous about today, it's Saturday and I am supposed to take Pierce out. During the week, I thought about a cool place to take him to but I didn't come up with great options and I have already asked him out, which means I can't get out of this." I have some ideas for you, so please stop pacing." Lucy pointed out and I am so relieved, I didn't even realize that I was pacing." What do you have?" I asked as I joined her on the bed." Your cooking class ideas is good but what about wine tasting, every billionaire loves wine or you guys can go to the beach and you can even set up a cool picnic after having a walk around the beach or something." Lucy suggested and I actually love her beach idea.I don't think I can go wrong with that, a beach and a picnic will be so perfect and I think he will really like it, I doubt he can remember the last time he had the time to go to the beach." I love that idea Lucy, beach is actually perfect. That's what I will go fo
KIANA'S POV Later in the day, I decided to get up and start preparing for my date but I made sure to call the restaurant to remind them of my orders and when I am picking it up... After the call, I made a beeline to the bathroom and showered quickly, when I was done Lucy helped me with my hair and then she did a simple nude makeup to go with the look.In about forty five minutes or so, Lucy was done making me look good. I checked myself out in the mirror, and I actually can't remember the last time I looked this beautiful." You like." She asked after a while of staring at myself." Of course I love it, thanks bestie. I love how I look, everything looks perfect." " Good because I don't think Pierce will be able to keep his eyes and hands off you today when he sees you." Lucy said excitedly and that's exactly the reaction I am hoping to get from Pierce." I hope so girl, I hope so." I got up from the chair in front of the vanity and I went to the closet to pick the two beach wear I b
PIERCE'S POV " Ahahaha, oh my gosh Pierce. Please put me down." She squealed as I hoisted her up from the blanket and ran into the water with her in my arms." There is no way you will bring me to a beach and we won't swim." I dumped her into the water and we both started laughing.The wave of the water was fast approaching and we scampered out and ran while laughing. To be honest, I can't remember the last time I had this much fun... I am really glad she invited me out, she's beautiful and fun to be with, she's smart and very mature, unlike the many ladies I have been with who are obviously with me because of what I can offer." No not again." She screamed as I held her hands again and pulled her back into the water with me. We kept running in and out of the water, and after awhile we decided to stroll around a little." Are you having fun?" She asked after a while." Of course I am, I can't even remember the last time I had this much fun. We should do this again." I said as I carri
KIANA'S POV I woke up really early today, I couldn't really sleep. I was up most of the night, thinking about the great time I had with Pierce. I wanted to do something different and unusual for him, something he would appreciate but I never imagined that he would be so fun and sweet... To be honest, I can't remember the last time I had such an amazing time with a guy, in fact I don't think I have had this much fun with any guy.Pierce was so carefree, casual, fun and even very playful, I didn't think he had it in him. As a billionaire, I just assumed that he would be uptight and proud but he is the exact opposite, he is so selfless and very down to earth." Come on girl, give me all the details." Lucy said excitedly as I stepped out of the bathroom.Lucy was already fast asleep yesterday when I got back, so we haven't had the time to talk yet but it's obvious she's very curious with the way she's eagerly waiting for me to say something." Nothing happened." I teased." With that smi
ASHLEY'S POV I can't believe that I gave birth to my child in prison when I could have had her in one of those private hospitals and to think I will still be locked up in here and away from her for the next seven years.I mean I didn't even care about her and I didn't want to have her when I realized that I could no longer have her for Pierce like I wanted but I want her now."You are so beautiful." I said as I stared into her innocent eyes, she's like a beautiful consolation for me after losing everything in my chase for Pierce.I mean I don't regret the things I have done. "I will do them all over again." If it will guarantee me ending up with Pierce instead of that undeserving bitch but what matters right now is my baby, I wish I was out there with her.I want to nurture her till she grows up, I want to watch her grow but because of my clumsiness and my plans that wasn't full proof, I am going to miss seven years of her life and everything with everything I did, Kiana is still out
PIERCE'S POV I practically didn't sleep all night but I don't mind, I enjoy helping Kiana with the baby. I'm still trying to figure out why he is always up almost all night but sleeps through the day but he is so cute, so I can't complain... Ordinarily I should be sleeping now since I didn't sleep at night but I have work and I also need to go for ring shopping with Stan, so I can't afford to sleep in."Why are you smiling?" Kiana asked when she stepped out of the bathroom after taking her bath. "You didn't sleep at night, so how come you are so cheerful?" She asked curiously."I'm cheerful because I am happy, I am happy that I have you and Jayden." I said while smiling at her. "And also, I have a secret." I pointed out."Well I am happy that we have you too baby but I am more curious about the secret, you have to tell me." She sat at her dressing table as she started fixing her hair while looking at me through the vanity.We don't keep secrets and I seriously want to tell her but I
PIERCE'S POV After all the drama and the birth of my baby which is already a month ago, this is my first time coming to work and it's weird being back. I have a shit load of work and I have no idea where to start from... Stan has been shouldering the whole work load by himself and that's another reason why I really need to do something special for him.He was fucking supportive when I needed him during my crisis and also with work and he has never complained about anything. The only work I have right now are things that can only be handled by me and it's a lot."Welcome back man." Stan said as soon as he entered my office."The work load is actually making me rethink my decision." I said truthfully because I don't even know where to start."You better jump right to it because we are still going to the site today for supervision." He pointed out, I remember that we discussed about going to supervise the construction but I think that was the same day Kiana disappeared, so we didn't get
KIANA'S POV"Ahhh , I can't believe you are back home. You gave me a scare girl, I can't even imagine everything you went through." Lucy said excited when I finally returned home from the hospital.This last week has been so crazy and it's a miracle that I survived every hurdles with my baby... What made me happy the most is that Pierce was right there with me when I woke up, I felt so needed and important despite the fact that I stubbornly put myself and my baby in danger and if he wanted to be upset with me, his anger would have been justified but instead he was so worried and very supportive.I mean he came to save me even when he had no idea what he was going to meet, all he cared about was that the tracker is on and he needs to come get me."Ashley was so nasty, she was really cruel and she has no sympathy despite the fact that I was pregnant just like her. It was a really horrible experience and it's a miracle that we survived it." I still can't believe it."I'm so sorry for eve
KIANA'S POV "Arghhh." My whole body aches, every single inch of my body aches... All I can see his pitch black and I tried to open my eyes but it feels like my eye lashes are glued together and I couldn't open them."Ohhhhh, arghhh." I tried to say something but I can't hear myself, maybe I am not loud enough.I forced my eyes open again and I immediately regretted my actions and I shut them when I was hit with a sudden brightness. I opened my eyes slowly this time and I finally adjusted to the brightness."Where am I?" I asked as I took in the room.I noticed the white wall, the florescent light, bedside table, all the medical equipments and the annoying beeping sound coming from the machines, it became obvious that I am in the hospital."Arghhh, oh my gosh." I cried when I turned my head slightly to the side, everything hurts but a smile creep into my face when I saw Pierce sitting on the chair with his head resting on my bed and my hand in his hand.He doesn't look comfortable at
PIERCE'S POV I briefly considered asking Stan to help me drop them at home but after everything he has been through today and the last couple of days, I couldn't tell him. He has been too helpful if you ask me and asking for more favors is just me taking advantage of him and I can't do that."I will take you home guys." I offered because I didn't even bother to ask if dad drove here or if the driver brought them."Don't worry about that boy, we came with the driver. We will call you when we get home, be safe, see you later Stan." Dad informed and I am so relieved that I don't need to leave here because I really want to be here when I get the opportunity to see them."Okay then, take care." I waved them goodbye before he left with mom.After they left, I sat back down and I brought out my phone to check the time but to my surprise, the map is still displaying on my phone and all the events of today came rushing back. I remembered when I completely lost hope about the possibility of t
PIERCE'S POV We all rushed over to the doctor immediately he stepped out of the room... My heart is pounding in my chest like a drum and beads of sweat trickles down my forehead as I waited impatiently for the doctor to respond to my question."She's stable now but we need to carry out a caesarian section on her." The doctor said and fear gripped my heart like a vice.I mean the baby is like eight months now or so, is it even safe to have a C-section? I felt a growing sense of unease as I wonder if the baby can even survive it and even kiana, shit I am so fucked."Her delivery date is not due yet, do you think it's safe to bring the baby out?" I asked curiously."I know that the baby is not up to term yet but due to the complications, the baby is not getting enough oxygen and the baby is in distress, so we have to take him out. That's the best option besides we will keep the baby in the incubator to fully develope. I know you are worried but if we act fast, we can save them both." He
PIERCE'S POV It's a miracle she's even still alive, those people did a number on her and they didn't even care that she's fucking pregnant. "I will make sure they all rot in jail." I said to myself as I paced around the reception.We got to the hospital a while ago and she was rushed to the intensive care unit and I am so fucking scared for them, how can Ashley be so cruel. "I need to call my parents." I decided to call my dad because he is stronger than mom and he will know how to break the news to her."Dad." I called as soon as he answered the call."Are you okay son? You don't sound great, what's the problem?" He asked and I am surprised that he noticed something was wrong because I tried to hide my emotions but I guess I didn't do a good job."Yes dad, there is a big problem but first is mom with you?" I asked curiously because the last thing I want is to send my mom to the hospital, she has been through a lot lately."No, she's in the kitchen. What's wrong, talk to me son?" He
PIERCE'S POV From the window, I can see my love sitting and tied up on a chair and looking so weak and bloody, she looks almost unconscious or maybe she's sleeping. A wave of dread washed over me as I watched her in that terrible state, never in my life did I ever think that I will see her looking like this... She can barely sit straight and even though her hands are tied up, she still managed to cover her stomach protectively.But out of everything and everyone in this room, what I can't get over is the fact that Ashley is in there. A lump formed in my throat and my chest tightened with despair as I watched Ashley stare at Kiana in disdain."Is that not Ashley?" Stan whispered and it breaks my heart to think that I was wrong about her.Ashley is a terrible person and I will make sure she regrets everything she has done, she has gone too far and there is no fucking way in hell I can forgive her."Yes, that's her." I grind my teeth together and made a fist as I tried to control my tem
