KIANA'S POV Oh Lord have mercy, I initially thought I was being paranoid when I felt like someone was watching me when I first left my apartment and even when I saw the black car but now that the driver has confirmed that we are indeed being followed, I am so scared and I don't know what to do." Should I call the cops?" I asked curiously because I can't think of anything else.This makes no sense to me, I have always lived a peaceful quiet life. So I know this has something to do with Pierce's mysterious lover but I just don't understand why she's going this far in such a short period of time, knowing fully well that I am not even dating him, this is just a contract for God's sake." Don't worry Miss, I will lose them." The driver assured just as he increased his speed." Okay thanks." I said as I silently pray that he is actually able to lose the car.I continuously looked behind with every turn my driver made and to my surprise, I stopped seeing the car behind us, which means my d
KIANA'S POV The speed at which Pierce is driving is scary but this is exactly what I need because I am worried about what the mysterious lady means in the text and I really want to get home before she ends up doing something stupid." Oh shit." I cursed as soon as I noticed my house from a distance and noticed the crowd in front of it just as my phone was ringing.The caller is Lucy and I can already tell what she wants to say and since I am very close to the house, I guess there is no need to pick up." Is that your apartment?" He asked curiously immediately he noticed the crowd." Yes it is."" Damn it's on fire, shit." He said and immediately pulled over.We both ran out of the car and hurried over to the crowd and I started looking for Lucy and I hope she's fine and in one piece." Lucy, Lucy..." I called before I finally noticed her just as a firefighter truck pulled over." Oh my God kiki." Lucy called as we gave each other a tight embrace.This must have been so scary for her,
KIANA'S POV We stayed hidden at the back of the couch and kept quiet as we listened closely to the movement of the person intruding. Honestly I am so pissed that she's even here right now after everything she has already done, what more does she want... After seeing the length she went today by burning down my apartment, I must confess that I am scared but honestly, I can't keep allowing her to do this. I have to fight back at some point and I am going to start now." You know what, we can't keep hiding like this. We have to defend ourselves and fight back. Take this." I whispered as I removed both my heels and gave Lucy one of my shoes.The six inches will definitely serve as a nice weapon and I will show her no mercy especially after everything she did today." One, two , three, attack." I whispered and we both rushed out of our hiding place with our heels in hand and raised high ready to attack.There was no one in the room, so we tiptoed to the living room and we made move to att
PIERCE'S POVPeople can really be crazy, I still don't understand why anyone will claim to be my girlfriend and then threaten someone else to the point of burning their house when I clearly don't have a girlfriend or anyone at all that is in a position to feel entitled or something. I stayed in bed thinking about all my ex's and which of them can do something this crazy but I can't think of anyone, most of them are cheats, liars, thieves but none of them is crazy enough to threaten an innocent lady.I really don't know what to do because now Kiana and her best friend are homeless because of my involvement in her life. Yes her father stole from me and I need to get my money back but I don't want her to lose everything in the process... After thinking for a while and coming up with no solution, I reluctantly got out of bed and made my way to the kitchen to get something to eat. It's the weekend and I practically don't have anywhere to go... I decided to make a simple turkey sandwich fo
KIANA'S POV I woke up in the morning, feeling a little disoriented and thinking of what part of my house this is but after looking around, I remembered that we are in an hotel after that mysterious lady burnt our house down. I still can't believe that I am homeless." You are up early." I said when I saw Lucy coming out of the bathroom." Yeah, how was your night?" She asked while smiling at me before she plopped on the bed." It was okay, you?" I asked as I reluctantly got out of bed and made my way to the bathroom." My night was perfect girl, I can't even remember the last time I slept at a place this fancy. This place is so perfect girl, I wonder who owns it." Lucy gushed and I couldn't help but laugh." You shouldn't be so excited because in case you have forgotten, we are practically homeless and I have no ideas where we will go when Pierce finally gets tired of paying for this place for us." I stated.I have some money saved up but I don't think it's enough to get a new place
KIANA'S POV We waited quietly at the back of one of the cars in the parking lot till Pierce finally picked his call." Pierce, Pierce, can you hear me?" I whispered." Yes but why are you whispering?" He asked curiously but I don't have the liberty to explain at the moment." Please, I need your help. We are at the mall and two guys are following us, I think the mystery lady sent them. Please help, I am scared they will kidnap or even worse, kill us." I whispered and I peeped again but they are still hanging around looking for us.This is crazy, I should have known the lady is willing to do anything when she burnt down my house. It's very obvious that killing and kidnapping is not beyond her." No, none of that can happen." He said and started laughing, it's so upsetting because I am fighting for my life here and he finds it funny." I am serious, Pierce. I am hiding at the parking lot and I can see them from here, looking for us." I explained again, hopefully he will understand how
KIANA'S POV " What is wrong with you, why would you push her like that?" Lucy asked angrily while I was still in the water, wondering what just happened. I don't even know who this lady is yet she pushed me in the water and called me a slut and I haven't even done anything to deserve this treatment but to my surprise, she went ahead and shoved Lucy into the water as well. " You guys are cheap sluts, I have heard that you are occupying the penthouse. That is Pierce's personal space and he doesn't let anyone go in there, yet you guys got the boss to let you stay there." She said while staring at us with so much loathe and I just don't understand why. " What are you even talking about" I asked curiously because this is so unexpected. " Shut up slut and don't even bother to pretend around me because I know the only way you can get the owner of this hotel to give up his room is to open your filthy legs for him... He is not one to fall easily for girls, he has turned so many of u
PIERCE'S POV I have a bit of work today, after Gary duped me of thirty million dollars and refused to come through with the supply of furnitures as agreed, I found it very difficult to trust any other contractor but I am currently building two new hotels in Florida and I need new contractors which is why I am so busy this morning, trying to figure out the best five candidates to vet out of these pile of files in front of me.After about an hour or so, I was down to the last set of files and I have a pretty good feeling about some of them." You have been so neck deep in work, what's up?" Stan said as soon as he entered my office." Yeah, you know we need contractors for the new files so I am trying to figure out the right candidate." I informed as I continued working on the files." Oh that's true, so how is it going?" He asked just as I rounded up." Well this five files here has prospects but I still need you to properly vet them because I don't want a repeat of what happened with
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
PIERCE'S POV From the window, I can see my love sitting and tied up on a chair and looking so weak and bloody, she looks almost unconscious or maybe she's sleeping. A wave of dread washed over me as I watched her in that terrible state, never in my life did I ever think that I will see her looking like this... She can barely sit straight and even though her hands are tied up, she still managed to cover her stomach protectively.But out of everything and everyone in this room, what I can't get over is the fact that Ashley is in there. A lump formed in my throat and my chest tightened with despair as I watched Ashley stare at Kiana in disdain."Is that not Ashley?" Stan whispered and it breaks my heart to think that I was wrong about her.Ashley is a terrible person and I will make sure she regrets everything she has done, she has gone too far and there is no fucking way in hell I can forgive her."Yes, that's her." I grind my teeth together and made a fist as I tried to control my tem
