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 I woke up early in the morning, preparing for work because I have meetings today but as I was getting ready, I couldn't help but remember the fun weekend I had. Honestly, it's the most fun weekend I have had in recent times, from the fun day at the beach to the dinner at home yesterday, it was all very perfect.Ashley on the other hand was well behaved, she even went over board with her meals and she was so nice and very receptive to Kiana which is unlike her. Usually, she doesn't like me coming home with my ladies and even when I do, she will refuse to cook for them but I guess Kiana is not my girlfriend, our relationship is simply contractual. Maybe that's why she likes her, although I can't deny that I am beginning to like Kiana, I know we are not dating but she's so different from other ladies.She's very nice, thoughtful, sweet and kind, she's just very unique and I like her but for now, I need to focus on the deal we have and when that is done, if there is room for
KIANA'S POV Weeks later... I woke up feeling very nervous and anxious. Pierce has been busy planning our engagement party with his event planner and I have no idea how it's going. It's my engagement too but it seems like it's a surprise for me because he completely put me in the dark and I have no idea what to expect.I feel like he is keeping me out of the loop because he knows that I am not in support of a big lavish engagement party... I mean it's not real and there is no need to waste money on something that is absolutely false.The way Pierce has been treating me since our date on the beach makes me wish so badly that he actually loves me and our relationship is not just contractual. He is so caring, kind, thoughtful and very attentive, I just wish he can miraculously make him my man and we can stop pretending." Honestly, you should have accepted the stylist he offered you, instead of insisting to get ready yourself." Lucy lamented." Well I have you and I don't need a stylist
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
PIERCE'S POV "Oh shit, I need to change." I gave my phone and laptop to Stan and I rushed back to my bedroom when I looked down and noticed that I was having just a towel around my waist after Stan pointed it out.I was too excited with the tracker coming up that it completely skipped my mind, the last couple of days has been a rollercoaster of emotions and this is the most hopeful I have been in a while. "I'm coming baby." I said as I rushed into the closet and grabbed the first boxer briefs, trouser and shirt I could find.I put everything together as quickly as I could and if I am being honest, this is the fastest I have dressed and the most horrible combination ever but I don't give a fuck about my appearance right now. I grabbed my sneakers and I wore them on my way back to the living room which was difficult, maybe I should have stayed back in the room and wore it properly before stepping out."What the fuck are you wearing?" Stan asked immediately he noticed me."Forget about
PIERCE'S POV The last three days has been hell on earth, I can't believe that this is really happening. It's all started like a joke but it has become fucking real. What the fuck? Three whole days and I still don't know where she is."How far, what's the update?" Lucy asked as soon as Stan and I returned to the house.My initial move was to sit in front of all the gadgets I arranged on the coffee table and wait for the tracker to come on but after waiting for about twelve hours straight, I realized that sitting around is not the best solution... So Stan and I went to the station and we filled a missing person case, we gave them all the necessary informations including the CCTV footage from kings superstore and they promised to look for her but it's been two days since I made the report and we still don't know her whereabout."No updates Lucy, they still don't know where she is. They claim that they haven't noticed any suspicious activities and there is no complaints from anyone conce
KIANA'S POV Well there goes all my cautions, I wanted to watch what I say because I am hoping that I can miraculously get out of here but she just confirmed to me that she's going to kill me and if that's the case, I will go out with a bang."Can you even hear yourself? I am pregnant for Pierce and you are pregnant for a nobody and you have the audacity to call my baby a bastard when you are the one carrying the actual bastard... Or have you forgotten so soon that nobody wants to be associated to you and your baby?" I asked curiously and I can tell that she doesn't like the area I am headed to but she started it.I feel horrible for calling an innocent child a bastard but I won't sit here and allow her call my baby names."I don't care what you do to me after this but if this is my last day on earth and your stupid face is the last thing I will see, then it my pleasure to tell you the fucking truth for a change... Ashley woods, you are a fucking disappointment." I don't normally curs
KIANA'S POV "The boss wants her in one piece and you are doing this and even if that's not the case, she's fucking pregnant." The small stature guy chastised the other one that has been trying to intimidate me."Yeah I know but she has a foul mouth, did you hear everything she said to me? She's a fucking bitch." He said angrily."Whatever man, just get the fuck out. I will take it from here." The guy instructed and I have a feeling that he is the boss."Fine but watch out for her, she's a bitch." He said angrily before he stepped out of the room.I mean this is a blessing and the opportunity I have been waiting for, he is the boss, he is nice and he is going to be here alone which means I can make him an offer or at least get him to free my hand and I can turn on my tracker... I moved my neck stylishly just to make sure that my necklace is still there since I can't see it from here, it's usually hidden under my cloth and thankfully for me, it's still there."I am so sorry about him,
KIANA'S POV "Arghhh, my head hurts." In fact, my entire body hurts, I peered my eyes open and my sight is so blurry to the point that I can't even make out any figure or things. I blinked a couple of times before my vision cleared up a little.All I can see is huge room that has a bed, a couch and nothing else, the background of the room is white. I can feel something dripping down in my head and I tried to touch it but I couldn't, I looked down and to my hands and that was when I realized that I am sitting down on a chair and my hands are tied to the back... No wonder my wrist and shoulder hurts like hell, how did I even get here?The last thing I remembered is that I was roughly shoved in a car and I was injected. "Oh my God, I was kidnapped." It dawned on me and I am scared. "My baby." I looked to my stomach and everything looks fine but I am still a little worried that whatever they injected me with might not be hundred percent safe for my baby.I tried to free my hand but whatev
