Kelly’s POV
I pald my forehead as I walked back and forth because of worry. Klay abducted Phoebe and he’s demanding to et him. I know him. He will hurt anyone just to get what he wants.
I bit my bottom lip and stared at Snow who’s fell asleep on the couch. She’s lying there comfortably while hugging a soft and small pillow.
What should I do? Should I call Pierce? That would reveal my identity. But...Klay has already learned about . I’m also aware that he already knows the na I’m hiding behind. He just won’t stop until I go back to him.
I called Luke over to look after Snow while I’m gone. I need to get Phoebe back myself. The last thing I want to do in this ga of revenge is involve Pierce and his family so I’ll do this on my own.
“Sweetie, mommy has to go sowhere.”
She smiled sweetly. “Are you going to bring daddy ho, mommy?”
I swallowed hard and smiled at her. Not your daddy but your auntie, honey.
I turned and he’s just silently watching . I nodded at him after kissing Snow all over her face. I pulled myself up and sucked my breath.
Klay might ask to co back to him in exchange for Phoebe’s freedom. I don’t wanna leave my daughter for long, so I will negotiate with him.
While I was waiting for a taxi, I called Klay back.
[That was a very quick decision, babe. So, what’s the good news?]
I clenched my jaws. “Where are you?”
[Hmm! Just go to our old lovely ho, babe. Soone’s waiting for you there.]
***
Klay’s n brought to an isolated island. There’s a glass house in the middle elevated part of the island where I can see the fascinating view. This place could be a paradise only if I’m here with the people I love.
Klay entered the house where I was sent. I was sitting on the couch and as soon as I saw him, the rage I kept in my heart for so long started resurfacing.
I thought I could control myself and my rage, but I guess I loathe him too much that I can’t suppress it.
“Where is she?” I asked coldly.
He stared at my face for so long. His eyes were full of emotions but he couldn’t manipulate again with those eyes. He just looks like an angel because of his physical features but he’s beyond evil inside.
“She’s sowhere safe here, Kelly. You don’t have to worry about her. Why don’t we catch up first? It’s been five long years and those years felt like forever... I missed you.”
I shook my head very slowly and disappointedly. “You think I ca here for so stupid catching up?”
He swallowed hard and looked down. When he lifted his face again, the gentleness in his eyes were gone. I can only see a devil in his eyes and nothing else.
“You need to bargain with , Kelly. What can you give up for your ex’s sister?”
I balled my fists. “What do you want?”
“Okay...” He walked around the corner confidently. “First things first...co back to .”
I let out a humorless laugh. “Don’t you think that’s too absurd? ..ing back to you after you ruined my life? Nice try.”
“I’m trying to fix your life again, Kelly. Basically, I’m the only one who can do that.”
“Funny! How do you want us to end this stupid devil ga, Klay? Getting everyone around killed and accepting my bitter fate of getting trapped with you just so you’d stop killing people? If that’s how you’re gonna fix my life, no thanks. I rather want my life to remain ssy.”
He clenched his jaws, obviously pissed. “I did not kill anyone, Kelly. Yet. It was Amanda who killed your father. All I want is to have you by my side because you’re the only one who can keep sane.”
Oh, really? I laughed sarcastically again. “Frankly speaking, you’re an accomplice to Amanda’s cri, apparently you killed my dad. And don’t give so bullshit I can laugh at. You chose to be evil, so don’t involve with your stupid antics.”
“How many tis do I have to explain to you, Kelly?”
“You already explained just now and I chose not to accept your reasons.”
He gritted his teeth. “I fcking need you to co back to . Or I won’t stop chasing you.”
I pulled myself up and walked towards the glass wall, looking at the fascinating endless blue ocean. “So, this ga isn’t going anywhere unless you give up on your bullshits and just give my freedom back or I give up on my life and foolishly submit to you.”
I looked at him again blankly. “Right?”
“You really think I want you back to make you suffer? Why don’t you just forgive and drop your childish and petty revenge?”
My blood imdiately boiled in anger as I looked at him with blazing eyes. “Petty? Childish? You allowed your bitch of an ex lover to kill my father, Klay! And how do you want to accept the fact that my fiance, who I trusted and loved after a failed relationship, was my stepmother’s ex lover? My stepmother who killed my father and disrespected my mother? You even fooled to put my father into endless misery by stealing everything he worked hard on. Tell ! How?”
And to think that he attempted to hurt my child...it’s unforgivable.
We stared into each other’s eyes. I feel nothing but rage. My love for him has faded and nothing’s left. I think even if I see him killing himself, I will not stop him. He brought too much pain to and I don’t think he could ever make up for all of that.
He turned his back on and I can see him clenching his jaws.
“I will only send her back ho if you agree to stay with here even for just a month. That’s all I want. A month.”
