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
KIANA'S POV "We should definitely go out today." Pierce pointed out when I stepped out of the bathroom.We have been locked up in this suite for the last two days since we arrived for our honeymoon, all we do is eat, watch movies and have sex."Oh yeah?" I asked teasingly."Yes love, I didn't fly us here just to stay indoors. Let's go out and have some fun.""Well we can go out but I am having plenty of fun right here." The sex is great no doubt but it's not all about the sex. He is fun to be with and easy to talk to, so I am very happy here with him."I know but I still want you to have other types of fun, okay how about we go on a date?""That will be nice." I sat in front of the vanity as I put my hair in a messy bun."Cool, I will make reservations." He said as he picked up his phone.I decided to look for something simple to wear for now before I dress up later for the dinner, this will be the first time i am wearing a decent cloth since the wedding.After wearing a simple flora
KIANA'S POV He returned a while later with a beautiful looking red rectangular box in his hand and on top of it, is a smaller box."This is for you." He placed the boxes on the bed beside me and it made me really excited and curious. I mean we have been locked here together for days, how did he even organize this without my knowledge."Really, what's this?" I asked curiously as I left my position to get a closer look at the gifts."Check it out yourself."I decided to open the small box first, It's a Christian Louboutin red bottoms heels. Belle and jewels 100 mm strappy pumps, the straps are made with a blush material and the heels are covered in jewel. "Wow, this is really beautiful." I checked the size and it's exactly my size.When I was done with that, I moved to the bigger box and as soon as I opened it, I brought out a black kneel length glittering sequin long sleeve bodycon hip dress, it has an elegant contrast lace cut out turtle neck. "Pierce, I love them. Wow, they are real
KIANA'S POV "Thanks so much barrister, I appreciate all your help and support." I thanked the barrister after signing all the necessary documents."It my pleasure Kiana and please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you need any assistance." He said as he followed Lucy and I out of his office."Of course, have a nice day." I can't remember the last time I felt this happy and accomplished, apart from my wedding of course. When the whole inheritance clause came into play, I was very worried that I might not be able to get married on time to fulfill my dad's wish but right now at this moment, I am very proud of my accomplishments... It wasn't easy but Lucy and I made it happen."We did it girl." Lucy said excitedly the moment we entered the car."Yes we did, I am so happy. Thanks so much for all your support, you are the absolute best." I gave her a quick hug because honestly, she gave me the idea to do this contract marriage and everything worked out better than I expected."You don'
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
