KIANA'S POV I woke up around ten in the morning, I needed to have a well deserved rest after all the stress of yesterday. We were so exhausted by the time we returned home but I am glad I listened to Lucy because I loved every single thing I bought and I am looking forward to getting dressed.The engagement party is later this evening, so I still have enough time before then... I looked around for Lucy but she's no where to be found, I wonder where she went to. I got out of bed and made my way to the bathroom, I showered and then I stepped out, put my hair in a messy bun and then I changed into something very simple, just as Lucy returned." You are up." Lucy noted as soon as she stepped in. " Yes, where were you?"I sat on the bed and grabbed the phone, I am very hungry and I need to order something for breakfast." Nowhere in particular, just strolling around."" Oh I see, what do you want for breakfast?"" Anything is fine." She made her way to the bathroom while I started calli
KIANA'S POV I sat down in front of the vanity for hours, while Lucy was doing one thing or the other on me the whole time ... She started with my hair that was already prepped at the salon yesterday, then she styled it in a low wavy ponytail and she left a few strands of hair out to softly frame my face. After styling my hair, she moved to doing my makeup which took a long time. Lucy did a mixture of brown and gold color blend for my eyeshadow and a red lipstick to match my dress... Like I said, she spent like an hour or so on the makeup alone but the finished product was totally worth it. Honestly, I look so classy and beautiful, the make up is moderate and I have no complaints." I love it girl, you did a very good job."" Yeah?"She acted like she's not aware of how good she just made me look but the smile on her face made me realize that she just wanted me to praise her and I don't mind because she totally deserves it." Of course, you are amazing. Maybe we should open a makeup
KIANA'S POV " Wow, you look..." He paused, probably looking for the right word. " You look stunning, gorgeous, sexy. Wow, you look ravishing." I blushed at his compliments." Thanks handsome, you look great." I complimented as I took a look at his outfit.He is wearing a custom made three pieces navy blue double breasted blazer Suit Set with vest and he paired it with a white dress shirt and navy blue tie. He was looking yummy as always..." Oh yeah?" He smiled and spinned around for me which made me laugh " well not as great as you look."" You gave me your card for a reason right? It will be a shame not to impress." " I must say that you did a great job and I could stand here and stare at you all night but we have guests, are you ready?" I looked behind him at our so called guests and I don't even think they care about our presence because they are obviously having fun." Yes, sure. Let's do this." I said excitedly but I am a little nervous." Good." He held my hand as we made our
KIANA'S POV I woke up to my phone ringing but I am still too groggy then I tired to get up, still with my eyes still closed, I felt around the bed for my clutch and when I found it, I brought out the phone." Hello." I answered without checking the caller ID." Where are you?" The voice cut through and I wondered who I am speaking to.I reluctantly opened my eyes and then I checked my caller ID and noticed that is my stepmom Bridget... I don't understand why she has been calling me desperately since yesterday." I am at home." I lied because I don't know how to explain to her that I don't have a home and I now stay at a hotel." Come to the house for lunch, I need to speak to you." " I don't know mom, I have a lot to do today but..." " I am not asking Kiana, I want you home by twelve." She interrupted and ended the call before I could say anything else.I just put my phone down and continued my sleep but unfortunately for me, I couldn't sleep anymore because the only thing on my mi
KIANA'S POV Of course I have a problem with her acting like my father ment nothing to her when I know she was just an ordinary nanny when they met, he changed her life and now she feels so important like she's all that matters but she's right though, I can't really complain because apart from the monthly salary my dad instructed me to give her, this house is the only other thing he gave her.So technically, this is her house and she has the right to do whatever she likes with it, so I don't really have a say." Why am I here mom?" I changed the topic because I don't want to be rude." Sit down." I followed her instruction without complaining because that's the only way I can get out of here early enough." Yesterday, an engagement party was aired on the television and it was yours, why did I have to find out about your engagement on TV?" Lucy and I were right after all, she saw it and she's obviously not pleased with it." Well my fiancee organized the party and I didn't know about i
ASHLEY'S POV I don't know why but Pierce has been unnecessarily hyped because we are going home with Kiana to visit our parents... After the engagement party, mom and dad called to find out about kiana and he promised to come with her this weekend.I am really concerned with the way Pierce is moving so fast and I still don't have anything on her that can ruin their relationship. Their relationship is definitely beyond a contract marriage like Pierce makes it look, I saw the way they looked at each other longingly at the party. It's obvious something is brewing between them and I need to put an end to it." I like her." I heard Pierce say on my way to the kitchen. " I really do." He is with Stan in the living room, I know they are talking about Kiana, so I decided to eavesdrop and know his true intentions." You should tell her, I have a feeling she likes you too." Stan pointed out and that's one of the reasons I don't like him.He is always encouraging Pierce to be with other girls
KIANA'S POV After texting Ashley, we decided to start dressing up. I don't want to keep her waiting especially because she's doing me a favor." She's actually pretty cool." Lucy pointed out but I have no idea who she's referring to." Who?"" Ashley, it's nice of her to be willing to assist you." That's true, she's nice." Yes but it's for her parents right and if she refuses to help me, I might end up buying them something they don't like and I really need them to like me."" Well you are right. I know you like Pierce and all but why are you so kin on impressing his parents?" " Pierce didn't tell them the truth about our relationship and he wants me to pretend like we are in love and getting married for real." I couldn't say no when he asked me because he is already doing me a lot of favors and it will be selfish of me to turn him down." Oh I see but why, why can't he just tell them the truth." I asked him the same exact question." Well he said his parents are pressuring him to
KIANA'S POV " What are you going to wear today?" Lucy asked but I don't really know." I don't know girl, maybe ripped jeans or something." " No girl, you have to put thoughts into it. They are rich, so you have to look classy and expensive but also chaste." " I think I have something that fits your description." " Good, now go and get ready."" It's pretty early, I still have a few hours to go." I pointed out because all I want to do is stay in bed, I am really not in the mood to go out." Look, this is your first visit and you can't afford to be tardy besides I still need to do your hair and makeup." " Fine, I will just rest for like thirty minutes and then I will get ready." I bargained with her." Ahahaha fine, if you insist." I stayed in bed seeing a movie till my phone beeped, I checked it and it was a text from Pierce.Pierce:" Hi, how's your day going? I just wanted to tell you that I will be picking you up in an hour, take care."After reading his text, I quickly got o
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
PIERCE'S POV By the time we got to my house, it was already late and I am exasperated that Kiana went missing since three and there is obviously nothing I can do about it. She's going to sleep in an uncomfortable place tonight because I don't know how to find her.I made a beeline to my room, I put her handbag in the closet and then I plugged her phone so that it can charge before grabbing my laptop and iPad. I took them to the living room and I arranged everything on the coffee table while Stan was on the phone."Yes I just need the details of the person the car is registered to, please be fast about it. Someone is missing." Hearing him confirm it is even more annoying, I can't believe that she's really missing."Yes, that's the only information we have." Stan said while I turned on all the gadgets one after the other.I can't afford to miss the sound or notification when she eventually turns on the tracker because that's the only real hope that I have and from the video, I saw that
