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
KIANA'S POV " You need to be fast, Pierce will be here soon." Lucy pointed out immediately I stepped out of the bathroom after showering.I am running late and it's all thanks to Lucy, we just got back from the hotel supermarket to get the gift basket and a bottle of wine for Pierce and his sister but thanks to Lucy, the shopping took longer than necessary.I just wanted to pick up a gift basket but Lucy wanted to make sure we get the best and at the end, we ended up buying an empty box and we filled it up with things we think she will like... Lucy picked every item herself and now she's sitting in the middle of the bed, arranging every item in the box and if I am being honest, the box actually looks very nice and the items are actually thoughtful unlike the boxes in the supermarket that is just filled with irrelevant random items.Pierce texted me a while ago that he is on his way, so I need to move fast. I sat in front of the vanity after drying my body with the towel, I creamed my
ASHLEY'S POV Pierce doesn't know it but I have seen Kiana before today, although not up close but I was there when I asked some guys to burn down her filthy house... All day, I have been thinking of the best way to approach her. It's no secret that I hate her for trying to get married to Pierce when I am the only woman he is permitted to ever marry.I feel like making it known to her that I don't like her and I don't want her in Pierce's life but after speaking with Ken, I am beginning to agree with him that declaring myself publicly as her enemy is a bad idea... The last thing I want is for Pierce to be pissed at me, so I decided to pretend to like her and be nice to her, while I quietly figure out a way to get her out of my mans life.The worst enemy a person can have is the one that is faceless and hidden and that's exactly how I will win this battle, which is why I went all out with my cooking. I want to impress her with my welcome and I am sure Pierce will be very happy with tha
PIERCE'S POV "Was that Ashley?" Stan asked when he entered my office after Ashley left."Yeah, she just left." Her last statement before she walked out of my office is still bugging me, what does she mean by I will regret it?"I don't understand, what was she doing here?" Stan asked as he sat in front me.Honestly, I think I have been a burden to everyone especially Stan, I am always releasing my stress on him and it doesn't make sense. He hasn't even had the opportunity to share any personal thing with me, I don't even know what's going on in his life. It's has always been about me and it's not okay... He had a crush on Ashley for a long time and I haven't even stopped to ask how all of this makes him feel, I am a horrible friend."It's a lot of bullshit, don't worry about it." "What do you mean by that? If I didn't want to know or care about your mess, then I wouldn't have asked." I know he cares but I feel like a selfish person."Look Stan, I feel bad. I feel like a horrible per
ASHLEY'S POV The look on her face was so satisfying and I am so glad that I got the opportunity to tell her and with the way she cried, it's obvious that her chapter is finally over and now, I can have Pierce all to myself.I drove directly to Pierce's office after I left Kiana's office, I am tired of playing games with him... I have put in so much effort over the years to have him and this is the closest I have gotten so far, so I won't let him go. Enough of all the drama, it's time to make a decision.As soon as I got to his company, I stepped bout of the car and I made a beeline to his office. "Ashley, what are you doing here?" Pierce asked as soon as he noticed me."I came to see you." I said as I sat down on the chair in front of him."What is it this time, do you have another secret revelation for me?" He asked sarcastically and I know that him finding out randomly about us not having the same parents must be painful for him but I didn't have a choice, been siblings was restric
KIANA'S POV My day and work was going smoothly but I haven't spoken to Pierce this morning, so I decided to call and check up on him."Hi love, how are you doing?" He asked as soon as he picked my call. His voice is not as cheerful as it use to be and I am not surprised considering everything that has been happening with him lately, honestly it's a lot for one person to handle."I'm fine baby, how are you?""I'm okay, I just got to work a while ago." That's weird, it's already eleven o'clock and he usually goes to work around nine in the morning."Why is that? You are late, did something happen?" I asked curiously."Not really, it's just that I slept at Stan's place because I don't want to see Ashley and I don't have my clothes at his place, so I had to do a little shopping this morning before work." "Oh I see, that's fine. Have you had something to eat?" I asked because yesterday he didn't eat and even when I made him follow me to the restaurant, he still didn't eat much."Not yet
KIANA'S POV "What are you thinking about?" Lucy asked when she joined me in the living room and I wonder how she realized that I was thinking.I am yet to tell her what Pierce told me at the store today about Ashley, it's just weird saying it out loud."A lot, I am thinking about a lot of things." I said truthfully.The whole issue with Ashley is a lot and it's very offensive and I can't even be upset because I have to support Pierce seeing as it's not exactly his fault. I mean he didn't think is sister was stupid enough to have a crush on him and even act on it, I mean who in their right senses will think of something like that, so I can't blame him."What's wrong, you know you can talk to me. Is it about the baby or are you having issues with Pierce again?" She asked worriedly as she put down her coffee mug and gave me her full attention."No, it's none of that. It's about Ashley, you were right all along. Ashley is the mystery lady and she has been ruining all his relationships fo
KIANA'S POV "Oh Kiana, I am so happy we were able to start up this business, did you see the number of customers we have had today and to think people are still waiting."Lucy said as soon as she entered the office.It has been a long day, so I decided to rest a little in the office. "Do we need to hire more people because I don't want to keep the customers waiting for too long." I want us to give a good impression, so that they can come back next time."No, I think we are fine for now. I just came to get bottle water, I will join them and we will be done in no time." "Okay cool, I just want to rest a little, I will join you too." I said just as Pierce stepped into the office.What's going on with him? He looks so stressed and all over the place, he seems worried and the way he came in was like he ran here or something."Pierce, how are you?" Lucy greeted after grabbing a bottle of water."I'm fine Lucy, how are you?""I'm okay, I will be outside." She said just before she stepped ou
PIERCE'S POV Today has been a lot and I am glad that I took Stan's advice and I told my parents but the outcome is very horrible, I can't get over the fact that the people I have known all my life as my parents turned out not to be my biological parents but I think the most painful part is that Ashley used it as a weapon, she thought that breaking the news was going to change my decision but she was wrong because no matter what happens between us, I will always and only see her as my little sister, so she broke the news and hurt our parents for nothing, it was a total waste."How did it go man?" Stan asked as soon as I got back to the office.I don't even know why I am here because with all of this mess, it's obvious that I won't be of any use here."It was bad man, terrible. Ashley is out of control and there is no saving her." I explained as I sat behind my desk."Really, are you saying that your dad couldn't do anything?" "Yeah, no one can do anything. In fact she said something
PIERCE'S POV Hehehe, I laughed even though it's not funny. "Is that a joke because it's not funny?" I asked as I got up from the couch and walked up to her.I can't believe she just said that, just because she desperately wants to marry me, what's all this drama?"Are you okay baby, do you need help. You know you can tell me right?" Mom asked worriedly as she got up and touched Ashley's face."I am sorry but I know what I am saying and nothing is wrong with me. Pierce is not my brother and you both know it." She repeated the awful sentence again and it broke my heart. "Pierce is not your son." She said without mincing words while staring at my parents and they are staring back at her in shock and I don't know if they are shocked because she's saying the truth or they are shocked at the nonsense flying out of her mouth."Why do you want to marry him so bad that you are saying this about your brother, of course he is our son." Dad said and it somehow made me relax a little."You guys c
PIERCE'S POV Mom instructed the maid to make us breakfast but with everything happening, I couldn't eat. I don't have the appetite for food, I am just anxiously waiting for Ashley to show up and hopefully, my dad can fix the mess going on."Are you sure you don't want to eat?" Stan asked from the dining table."Yeah, I am fine." I am not fine, my head is pounding, my temperature is high and I am hungry but I can't find it in me to eat or stay calm, I am a mess.My phone started ringing again and even without checking, I already know that it's Kiana. She's obviously worried and she won't stop calling until I pick her call, so I decided to pick up."Hi love." "Baby, are you okay? I have been calling you since morning, is everything okay?" She asked worriedly and I feel stupid for not picking her call since."Sorry, I have been really busy and I wasn't close to my phone, are you okay?" I asked curiously because she's obviously stressed and it's thanks to me."Yeah, I am okay. Lucy and
PIERCE'S POV Stan and I walked into my parents house and I have never been more ashamed to visit them than now... My phone started ringing and I checked the caller ID and I noticed that it's Kiana again. I wish I could just pick the call and tell her what's happening but I can't, it will hurt her and she's pregnant, I can't afford to hurt her like that over the phone."Don't worry man, everything will be fine." Stan assured me when he noticed that I didn't pick the call again but I know he is only trying to be supportive.There is no way anything can be done with the load of crap I am about to dump on them and it's sad because they don't deserve to have kids that will bring shame to them after all their sacrifices over the years but I guess the deed has already been done."Pierce, Stan, what are you guys doing here this early?" Mom asked the moment we entered the living room and she saw us... She has a big smile on her face and it hurts that I am here to ruin it."Good morning ma'am
