KIANA'S POV The lobby looks chaotic, like something happened... Today has been a lot and I don't think I can stand anymore issues. We made our way through the crowd of people till we got to Pierce and the scene in front of me is highly unexpected." What the fuck?" Lucy asked in disbelief." Hey love, you are here." Pierce said as soon as he saw me." Yeah, what's going on here?" I asked worriedly as I stared at Diego and Frank laying on the ground, looking very exhausted and miserable.I have so many questions, where have they been and what exactly is wrong with them?" Well they have both been stuck in the elevator eight hours or so." " What, how did that happen?"" That's what we are about to find out." One of the waitress rushed over and handed them a bottle of water.It's obvious they are very thirsty with the way they rushed the water, they are probably hungry too, eight hours is a very long time to get stuck at a place." So guys, what exactly happened?" Pierce asked after th
KIANA'S POV " I spoke to the guy I told you about a while ago and I have sent him the feeds, hopefully he will find something soon." Pierce said as soon as he got back to the suite." Okay, thanks baby."" Have you even had anything to eat today?" " No but I am not hungry." The last thing on my mind is food.Today has just been a lot and I am mentally and physically stressed, from my car to Bridget's issues. I need to tell Pierce about her but I have stressed him a lot already and I don't even know how to bring up the topic." I know you are upset, worried and even scared but I am here and I will fix everything but you have to eat. I don't want you to fall sick."" I am fine." I don't have appetite besides I have a lot on my mind that I am still trying to figure out." No love, you have to eat." He grabbed the phone on the bedside table and dialed the restaurant.He ordered for cottage pie, Peri Peri Chicken with a side of rice and also chicken tikka masala." That's a lot of food."
KIANA'S POV " What do you mean by you are getting married?" She asked in disbelief.I find it had to believe too, it's ridiculously urgent but it's happening and I am very excited, I mean this wedding will solve all my problems but aside that, I love the person I am getting married to. Pierce is everything I want in a man and he makes me happy and that's all that really matters." Pierce suggested that we should get married this weekend, so that his crazy crush can stop bothering me." " Okay, I like the idea of the marriage but how will that help the situation, I even think it will infuriate her more, besides the reason for all her actions is to keep you guys apart right?" She mentioned my exact concerns." That's exactly my concern but Pierce is of the opinion that she will give up because we would have already done what she is trying to do and I will be leaving with him which is more secured than this place." I explained." Well he has a point, what's the point of her fighting you
ASHLEY'S POV I'm so mad, I have realized that every attempt that I have made to scare Kiana away hasn't been good enough but this time, I will go hard on her... I burnt down her house and car and she's still making plans to marry Pierce.I was so dazed when Pierce mentioned it casually a while ago, I couldn't even wait to get to my room before texting her but this time, I will make her disappear." Why are you such in a bad mood?" Pierce asked. We are seeing a movie together but God knows I am not paying attention, I am too upset and hurt to do anything else other than to plot my revenge plan." Why are you so excited, does it have anything to do with the wedding?" He has been so hyped since he got back.I was waiting in the living room when he got back and he just said " I am getting married this weekend." I didn't need to ask before knowing that it's with Kiana.But even after he got back to the living room, he has been so happy and it's pretty upsetting that Kiana is the reason fo
KIANA'S POV I couldn't sleep all night after I got the text from my nemesis, I spent the whole night rethinking my decision to marry Pierce... It's obvious she's out for my blood and I keep giving her more reasons to come after me.Is she someone close? Because she seems to know all my moves and it's very scary. How did she trap my bodyguards and burn my car without being noticed. Is it possible that she's staying here as well? I asked myself different questions all night, trying to figure out why she's always steps ahead but i couldn't figure it out, like she said in her text, I am so fucked." Did you even sleep?" Lucy asked when she woke up and saw me sitting in front of the dresser." No, I couldn't sleep. I don't feel safe." I said truthfully while staring at myself in the vanity.My eyes are red and puffy, I look so exhausted and I don't exactly feel good, I need to sleep but I can't." Just relax, I don't think she will try anything anytime soon and by the time she will be rea
KIANA'S POV She showed us to a larger collection of wedding dresses and I am truly confused, majority of the dresses here are very beautiful and I have no idea what to pick, it will be difficult to make a decision because even Lucy is confused." You know what? I think you should pick like five dresses and I will do the same, then you will test them." " That's a good idea, the earlier I started trying them out, the better." I went around the store, looking for the best and it turns out that picking five dresses is equally difficult.After a while, I picked out a few dresses, two mermaid style dresses, two cupcake style dresses and one ball gown style dress. By the time I finished, Lucy was looking for the last piece." Are you done?" She asked as she picked out the last dress." Yes I am." " Come with me." I followed her to the changing room and I started trying out the dress one after the other." It's beautiful but this is not the one." Lucy said after staring at me for a while.
KIANA'S POV I woke up with only one thought in mind, my wedding. I can't believe tomorrow is my wedding. So far so good, everything for the wedding has been handled and Lucy and I bought everything we need... I am yet to see the wedding but Pierce has handled everything and I am sure it will look great, just like the engagement party." Lucy." I called when I noticed that she's not in bed with me.I thought she was in the bathroom but she didn't respond, which means she is probably not in the suite at all... I don't know what is wrong with her but she has been acting weird lately, she's always sneaking around and hiding things and whenever I ask her what's up, she tries to lie.I said try because Lucy is a terrible liar. She's stammers and rambles a lot when she's lying, so I know that she's hiding from me, I just don't know why she's lying and what she's hiding." Lucy... Lucy?" I called again and still no response." She definitely not here." I said to myself before I got out of be
KIANA'S POV "That's so sweet of you and I am really sorry for giving you a hard time and for asking you questions all day." I know I am going to miss her so much and I have no idea what I will do without her, especially when we are away for honeymoon."It's fine, now dress up, we are running late."I wore the white polyester dress and it's perfect on me, I look so beautiful and I feel like a bride already. I sat down and wore my nice black sandals heels and I paired it with a matching clutch purse."You ready?" Lucy asked as she checked herself one more time in the vanity."Yeah sure." I checked myself too before leaving the suite together.I am still curious about where we are going but I don't want to ask her anything anymore, I just want to have fun with her this evening... As soon as we got to the lobby, I saw Diego and Frank waiting, honestly I don't know why Pierce is still having them follow me. It's obvious there is nothing they can do if the mystery lady decides to do someth
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
