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
LUCY'S POV The party turned out to be more fun than I initially imagined, Ashley actually did all the planning and she did a good job, although I gave her a few informations about what kiki likes... At first, I didn't want the party when Ashley suggested it at the bridal boutique over the phone because I know Kiana doesn't want a party but after so much persuasion, I later gave in and I am glad I did because it turned out great.Everyone is having so much fun and so am I... I looked around the room and I am actually hyped with the turn up of the guests, all our colleagues that I invited actually showed up and I think Ashley invited a few of her friends because I don't know some of the people here."Lucy, where is Kiana?" Our mutual friend from work asked.The last time I saw kiki, she was sitting on the couch next to Ashley but now I have no idea where they are."I don't know Tina, she was over there the last time I checked.""Okay I just wanted to tell her that I am leaving, anyways
KIANA'S POV "Argh." I woke up with a very disturbing headache. "How did I get here?" I asked myself when I looked around the room and realized that I am back at the suite."I brought you back." I was surprised when I got a response.I turned to the other side and I saw Lucy sitting down which is surprising because I thought this is the middle of the night, I looked around for my phone but I can't find it. "What's the time?""Past twelve." She responded but why is she awake."And you are not sleeping because?" I asked as I got out of bed.I don't know why I have such a terrible headache but I need to take a drug for it, I checked the dresser for the drug and I immediately used it with the bottle water on my bed side table."Do you even remember what happened last night?" I tried to think of any significant thing other than partying but nothing came to mind."Not really, why?""You were so drunk Kiana, why did you drink that much when you know your wedding is around the corner?" Her st
KIANA'S POV I woke up really early, it's almost like I didn't even sleep... I was too worried about my life, my future and my safety to get a proper sleep. Someone is after me and I know it but I can't really be at peace until I know the person..."How was your night?" Lucy asked immediately she woke up and noticed that I am awake."Horrible, very horrible." I said as I got out of bed."Well it's your wedding day and I am sure you will have a great time." Lucy said excitedly and I am actually very excited too, I can't wait to see Pierce."I know right, I can't wait." I don't know if it's the alcohol or the drug I was forced to inject but I feel so empty. " I'm so hungry.""Yeah me too, I will order something for us to eat. Today will be a long day." She picked up the phone to order for breakfast just as I got a call from Pierce."Good morning love, how was your night?" He asked as soon as I picked up the call."Not so good, I didn't really sleep much." I said truthfully."Why is that
PIERCE'S POV "I can't believe it's actually happening bro, you are actually getting married." Stan said while helping me fix my tie.Honestly, after so much heartbreaks, I actually thought that getting married will continue to be a dream I can't achieve but here I am, getting dressed for my wedding and it's not just because of a contract but because she loves me as much as i love her."I can't believe it too man, it feels like a god-damn dream.""Well it's not and we should actually leave now before we run late." He is actually right, we have about an hour or so and the church is about thirty five minutes away."Yeah, we should." We hurried out of my room and made our way to the living room.Stan stopped by the kitchen to get himself a glass of juice and I decided to go for a bottle of wine instead."Where is Ashley?" Stan suddenly asked."She should be at Kiana's place, she said she's dressing up with her." I don't even understand her anymore.Ever since I told her about my wedding
KIANA'S POV "We are gathered here today to witness the sacred union of Pierce and Kiana. We stand here to honor and celebrate the love shared between these two people, as they come together to start their new life with a solemn vow, surrounded by their closest family and friends." The pastor started and I am so excited.I have been so worried all week that the mystery lady might do something that will stop the wedding and couple with what happened yesterday, I have been a nervous wreck... A few minutes ago when Bridget tried to stop me, I initially thought it was the mystery lady again but I was so relieved when I realized that it's Bridget.I smiled at Pierce again when I remembered how he swang into action and he took care of the situation with Bridget without asking questions. His actions confirmed to me that I made the right choice marrying him."Do you, Kiana, promise to be Pierce’s friend? To comfort him and to listen to him? To celebrate his successes and to support his strugg
KIANA'S POV We arrived at another one of his hotels and this one is equally very big like the others but I still don't know where we are."Wow this is beautiful." The penthouse suite of this hotel is even better than the one in Houston and it was decorated with flowers and balloons and the bed has rose petals all over it, I guess I can call it honeymoon suite."You like it?" He asked as I looked around and I even noticed that there are two suitcases in the room."Of course baby, I love it. Where are we?""Miami, Florida. I wanted us to have some alone time away from home." I don't usually travel but I am glad that I am here with him."I love it, it's really nice." I said before sitting on the bed.I quickly removed my shoes and then I picked up one of the suitcases to see what's inside but luckily, the first one I carried, happened to be mine... As soon as I saw the things inside the suitcase, I realized that it was Lucy that packed up the things. Everything in here is mine including
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
