PIERCE'S POV I still don't understand why Ashley lied to me, she ruined my entire evening after saying Kiana was preparing for a date... I spent the whole day getting mad at her just because I blindly followed what Ashley told me. I know she has never lied to me but why now, what was her plan?It hurts so much to ignore her all day like I did but I was jealous, I want her and I thought that there is a chance she wants me too, considering how much fun we have together but after Ashley mentioned that she's going on a date, I was mad and jealous but I should have spoken to her instead of assuming." Can you hear me Pierce?" Her voice interrupted my thoughts." What did you say?" Honestly I was too deep in thought to pay attention to her.I am very bothered with the fact that Ashley lied to me, what reason does she have for what she did and for how long has she been lying to me?" I said it's getting late, we should go." She's right, it's pretty late but I still want to tell her somethin
PIERCE'S POV I woke up pretty late which is understandable considering the fact that I didn't sleep early, besides today is Sunday and I don't have to go to work... I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and by the time I was rounding up with that, I heard the door bell.Even without checking the door, I know it's Stan. He mentioned he will be here in the morning when we spoke last night. I went to the living room to get the door and I was right, it's Stan." Morning man." We did our signature bro handshake before he sat down." I am just waking up, have you had breakfast yet?" " No man, I woke up late as well and I was in a hurry to get here." I am not exactly hungry but I guess I can eat." Alright." I entered the kitchenette to see what I can make and he joined me." So, you were suppose to tell me something. Did something happen at your parents house?" He asked impatiently." Well other than the fact that I ignored Kiana all day, nothing but when we left, she was so angry and
KIANA'S POV I am more nervous today than I was when I wanted to take Pierce out on a date, at least then I knew where I was taking him and what to wear unlike today... I have no idea where he is taking me to or what to wear, I am so nervous." I still can't believe you guys are dating now." Lucy noted." Well it's not official but yes we are technically dating, you needed to have seen how jealous and upset he was." I remember how he ignored me all day." Yeah but what do you think gave him that impression?" " I really don't know, maybe someone at the hotel is feeding him lies." " Well whatever they were planning has failed because it only brought you guys closer." That's true, I guess I should be grateful the person lied to him." Yeah, that's true." I sat in front of the vanity, doing my hair and makeup, I was about to start when Lucy stepped in. It's a good thing I have her because my makeup skills is not that good, at least not as good as her's.It's a simple makeup like the ty
KIANA'S POV A while later the waiter returned with our wine but he didn't ask for our food order although he said chef Dan will join us soon but why do we have to wait for him before we make our orders?" Pierce, it's been a long time." A chef suddenly showed up and greeted Pierce, I am guessing he is the chef than we have been waiting for." Yes Dan, how are you?" Pierce got up and they exchanged handshake." I'm fine, thanks for asking. Who is this pretty lady?" Dan asked while smiling at me." Oh my bad, this is my fiance Kiana. Kiana meet Dan, he is an old friend."" Oh nice to meet you Dan." I got up and gave him a hug." The pleasure is all mine Kiana, welcome to my restaurant."It's a little strange to see the owner of a five star restaurant like this making the meals himself, that's sublime." You own this place, yet you are the chef?"" Yes I love to cook, it's the reason I started this business in the first place. I mean I have other guests but I still want to be there and
KIANA'S POV By the time we finished with the dessert Dan gave us, it was pretty late and I was stuffed, I could barely move but it's obvious that Pierce is not done yet... We left the restaurant and Pierce started driving us to his new location but I am already dozing." Where are we going?" " To the club, you like the club right?" He glanced at me briefly." Yes but I have two left feets." Truthfully, I can't dance to save my life." Ahahaha, wow. I thought you were going to be a better dancer than I am." He laughed and I couldn't help but laugh too. " I guess we will practice with each other." I guess so but I don't think my dance moves can be saved." I'm really bad. " Lucy is a good dancer and she has been trying to teach me with no success."" Well you didn't learn because she's not your boyfriend, I bet you will learn a move or two before the end of today." " I love the sound of that, I will definitely learn." It's still strange to think of him as my boyfriend but I love it.
PIERCE'S POV I have never had a more fun date than what I had with Kiana yesterday, we were both very exhausted and at the same time, we didn't want to go home. Even when we got to the hotel, I had to lodge in the hotel because it was too late for me to drive home and it gave us more time to spend together.Although nothing happened even though I wanted her but I decided to take things slow. We just cuddled up all night till we fell asleep and this morning, I had to buy a suit for the hotel boutique for work because if I had to go home first, I would have been late.Honestly, I have high hopes in Kiana. I have a feeling that she will be different from all my ex's and we will be together forever." Good morning Pierce." " What are you doing here Ashley?"I don't know why she decided to show up at the office this morning, I am still very upset with her for what she did, it makes me wonder how long she has been lying to me." Well you didn't come home last night and I was worried, I ev
KIANA'S POV Since my date with Pierce last night, I have not been able to get him out of my mind... We slept in the same bed but we didn't have sex, although his kiss and touch left an imprint on my heart and body.I still shiver and have goosebumps whenever I remember the kiss we shared, it was so awesome and he was the first person I thought of when I woke up this morning. I can still smell him all over me, especially on the pillowed he used... I am still in the hotel suite we shared last night but I think I should just go to my room, after all he is not coming back anytime soon.I got out of bed after reading his text and I decided to go to my room, I initially wanted to take my bath but I have no clothes here to change into." Wow, you are finally back. That was a pretty long date." Lucy teased me as soon as I stepped in." Yes it was long but also the best date ever." I said excitedly as I plopped on the bed beside her." Wow tell me everything." I gave Lucy the full gist from
KIANA'S POV " You didn't tell me you were coming." Bridget said as soon as I walked into the living room." Do I need permission to visit my father's house?"" Well yeah, this is my house now." " I'm glad you are laying claims because all the properties you are trying so hard to sell are all mine." From the look on her face, it's obvious she didn't want me to find out." How did you know?" " I have my sources Bridget, I know all your moves." Well I am exaggerating.She is very sneaky and she would have gotten away with everything if not because of the anonymous tip." Well you can't stop me, I am in charge and I will sell whatever I want. I can't believe that your father left me with nothing after everything."" You are so shameless and honestly my father is even very generous. He left you this house, his favorite car and even monthly allowance, after cheating on him and you are still not satisfied?" I took a step closer to her. " You are not in charge of anything and you have no r
PIERCE'S POV I managed to ignore her and pretend that I don't care that she's here or that we are taking her baby away from her. Yes I am very mad at her and the feeling won't go away anytime soon but that doesn't mean that I don't feel sorry for her and the mess she got herself into but when she boldly stopped me, I debated ignoring and walking out on her but then, I don't have plans of coming back here, so I might as well hear her out."What the fuck do you want?" I asked with a bland grimace while waiting for her response, talking to her is the last thing I want right now."I know you are upset with me but I just want to say that I am sorry." She said and it almost made me laugh.There has never been a time that I sense any remorse from her even when she was in court and now she's suddenly sorry?"Sorry for what?" I asked curiously because even right now, she doesn't look remorseful."For going about everything the wrong way and mostly for hurting you in the process, all I wanted
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
