PIERCE'S POV I woke up with a banging headache, I know I drank last night with Ashley when she was trying to console me and be supportive but did I drink that much? I am not a heavy drinker but yesterday was really fucked up, so maybe I drank a little too much.I slowly opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was clothes littered all over my floor and not just my clothes, a woman's clothes as well... I can see a nice night wear and a sexy red pants. "Is Kiana back?" I looked at the other side and I saw a lady laying in bed, I can't see her face but I know for sure that she isn't my wife.I can't remember bringing home a lady, why would I do something that stupid. I tried to remember what happened last night but just at that moment, the lady turned around. "Holy shit, fuck." I jumped out of bed when I realized that the lady in my bed is Ashley, my fucking sister. "Oh my goodness, what have we done?" I grabbed my boxers from the ground and I immediately wore it."Calm down Pierce, rel
PIERCE'S POV Stan stared at me in shock without saying a word and I am beginning to regret telling him in the first place but I need to say something, I can't keep this to myself."I'm sorry, it sounded like I heard you say something in the line of you had sex with your fucking sister." Hearing it from Stan just confirmed it to me again that I have messed up big time and I wish that the money issue with Kiana never happened and I wouldn't have had a reason to drink or to be alone with Ashley in the first place."I know what I did and I know how horrible it is, so you don't have to make me feel worse. It's bad enough that I had sex with her but you should know that it was a horrible mistake and I hate myself for it so much." "It's okay, just sit down. The deed has been done and there is no need beating up yourself over it but how exactly did it happen?" Stan is actually very surprising.I expected another reaction from him, I thought he was going to be mad and probably berate me espe
KIANA'S POV Two days later..."I have lost count of how many times Pierce has called you, yet you have blatantly refused to pick up his call. I don't understand why you are doing this, it's very obvious that you are hurting yet you are so adamant and you have refused to listen to him." Lucy chastised when she heard my phone ringing again.Honestly, Pierce has called me more times than I can count but I don't know what to say to him. Does it make sense that I am mad at him and I am not mad at the same time? I am confused about the situation too and I don't know what to do, I mean I am upset that he manipulated me into thinking he was doing me a favor by going into a contract marriage with me, meanwhile he was in fact doing it for his own selfish interests.Maybe he changed his mind along the line like he said but the fact still remains that I was just a means to an end for him and it hurts so much."You don't understand Lucy.""Then make me understand because you have been here for tw
ASHLEY'S POV I can recognize her anywhere, even with just her back view. Kiana has been a pain in my neck since the first time I saw her and since then, all I could think about is how to get her out of our lives permanently but now that she's out, I am beginning to realize that she might not be the problem."Ashley, I wasn't expecting to see you here." Kiana said when she turned around and saw me... She's smiling but I can tell that the smile is fake, she doesn't look good and her eyes are red and puffy, like she has been crying all day but I don't give a fuck.I know she's hurting and I pity her a little but I have to look out for my fucking self and getting her out of the picture is the first step."Yeah, I wasn't expecting to see you here either." Honestly I didn't expect her to be out here shopping, shouldn't she be locked up in her room brooding?"Yeah, I practically forced her to come out with me. The whole situation with Pierce has been really difficult for her, so I decided t
PIERCE'S POV "Guy, you are kidding me right?" Stan asked immediately he entered my office after Ashley left."Kidding about what?" I have a pretty good feeling about what he is talking about though, it's definitely about Ashley."Are you sure that you guys really had sex because she really looks cheerful and normal, like nothing happened." I am still bewildered at her behavior, I can't believe that she came looking for me and she even kissed me like she normally does. "Have you considered the fact that maybe you guys had too much to drink and slept off, maybe nothing happened." He pointed out and I am fucking glad that he can now see what I was trying to explain to him."Of course we had sex, she was naked and she confirmed that we had sex... This is what I have been trying to tell you, she has been acting indifferent like what happened doesn't count or like it didn't even happen." She's driving me crazy."I actually thought that you were exaggerating but you are right, she's acting
PIERCE'S POV"I'm here with my boyfriend, how have you been?" She looks good and I am happy for her and I hope she won't ruin the relationship again like she did when she was with me."I'm fine, thanks. You look good." I complimented her.Even with the fact that she cheated on me, I hold no grudge. Sure I was really hurting when it happened but the relationship was great while it lasted and I think that's why it was really hurtful, I didn't see a reason why she needed to cheat and on my fucking bed but I think what I hated most about the whole situation is the fact that she kept denying the fact that she cheated on me even though I had proof or maybe she was telling the truth."Thanks, you too. I heard you got married, how's your wife?" "Yes I did, she's doing great." I lied because Fiona is the last person I want to discuss my marital life with."That's good, congratulations. I will see you some other time, take care." I left and joined Stan at the bar and he is already having a dri
KIANA'S POV "I think we should go to the hospital." Lucy said as soon as she entered my room and noticed that I am still not feeling fine.I have been a little under the weather for a few days now and I really don't know what's wrong. I thought I was down because of the issues I am having with Pierce but he texted me two nights ago and we are as good as new again and I am still not feeling well."Why?" I asked as I managed to sit up."Well you are not feeling fine, isn't that enough reason to go to the hospital? Or will you prefer I call Pierce instead?" Of course not, the last thing I want is to stress anyone."No you can't call him and I am not going to the hospital, it's not that bad. I am fine, I just need more rest.""Okay, if you don't want to go, then you have to stand up and run this test." She said and threw a park of pregnancy test kit to the bed."I don't understand, do you think I am pregnant?" I asked curiously although it's not far fetched now that I am thinking about i
KIANA'S POV "I have missed you so much." I said while still hugging him.I wish I can just break the news of my pregnancy to him, I know it will make him so happy but I can't for now, at least not until we figure out who we are dealing with."I missed you too love, how have you been?" He pulled away from the hug and he started checking my face and body, like it will tell him if I am okay or not."I'm fine baby, come in." I allowed him in and shut the door behind him."Wow, this is a beautiful place." He complimented when he entered the living room."Thanks baby." I said just as Lucy stepped out.She is all dressed and I didn't realize that she had plans of going out today or is she leaving because of Pierce?"Hi Pierce, I am so glad you are here. How are you doing?" She asked while smiling at him."I am happy to be here too. It's been a rough couple of days but I am okay, how are you doing" "I'm fine, anyways I am going out. I will see you guys later." She said before grabbing her p
KIANA'S POV I can't believe that the day is finally here, it has been so difficult keeping a secret from Lucy all week. I wanted to tell her badly but I didn't want to ruin her special day for her besides I promised Pierce I won't tell her and I am glad I succeeded in keeping it to myself."Why do I need to dress up so much?" Lucy asked. She has been making a fuss all day, she said she's not in the mood to go out and I have the task to take her to the venue."I told you, we are having a girls night. I want us to go out and have fun for a change." I said and I hope she buys it."Okay but am I not over dressed?" She asked curiously.I bought her a beautiful lotus color elegant off-the-shoulder sequined high waist side slit. It has a small trail and it suits her body type perfectly, she will stand out at the party... I am wearing a black color crisscross backless bodycon sleeveless spaghetti strap maxi dress. It's simple and beautiful but it's nothing like Lucy's dress, it's her engagem
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
