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 "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
