Kelly’s POV
I checked in at a hotel. I didn’t have any better choice. I didn’t want to go back to the condo. I wouldn’t be able to sleep in that room tonight after what happened.
I could still rember the drone with a small light. There was a cara in that drone and soone saw my naked body. It was so scary and creepy.
What was even more unacceptable? When I was screaming in horror, Pierce was fcking his woman!
Again, he abandoned .
Even now, I still felt very angry and anxious. I felt like there are eyes everywhere, watching secretly.
“I called for food. You should still eat, Miss.”
I looked at Luke. “Did you call the security of the condo tower?”
“Yes, miss. I asked for a copy of the surveillance video around the tower. The unit is on the fourth floor so there’s a 50 percent chance that the culprit is outside the building.”
“The other 50 percent?”
He clenched his jaws. “The possibility that he’s one of the residents and he’s executing his cri while he’s inside his unit. We will catch him if the drone is caught in the surveillance video.”
I looked down and pinched my fingers. I took a deep breath and opened my eyes again. “Don’t tell anyone.”
“Miss...”
“Not even a single person, besides the police, would know this, Luke. Especially not him.”

The next day after lunch, Chris visited . He froze when he saw Luke standing beside while we were both watching the surveillance video on my laptop.
I even saw my assistant’s eyes widen when she saw and Luke in that position. I don’t care about what they’re thinking because there’s no malice in my relationship with Luke.
“Uh... C-Can I...co in?”
I nodded at Chris. Luke imdiately gave us privacy. Chris on the other hand seed bothered. He kept on glancing at Luke through the glass door as he sat on the chair in front of my table.
“You have a photoshoot, right?” I asked to get his attention.
He imdiately gave a sweet smile. “The shoot for today is done. I just...ca to ask how you are.”
“I’m fine, Chris.”
His eyes flickered with worry. “You collapsed at the party, Kelly. I followed you to the hospital but Pierce Anderson stopped . He...” he paused and laughed.
My forehead creased. “What?”
He grinned. “He said you’re married to him. I think he’s still angry with . He’s still overprotective of you just like before.”
I swallowed hard. Damn you, Pierce!
“Don’t mind him,” I said and smiled.
“Yeah...” he paused and glanced at Luke behind the closed door again. “I see now why you rejected again.”
My lips parted. He thought I had a romantic relationship with Luke. I want to correct him but I think it would be better to let him think that way. If he thinks I have a thing with Luke, he won’t try to court again.
I was not in the mood to develop any relationships, at least not now. And I just really saw Chris as a friend and nothing more. I didn’t understand why he still liked even when I was constantly rejecting him.
“So, I should take a leave. I ca thinking about having dinner with you but I think you have a dinner date already.”
“Chris...”
He smiled. “Don’t worry about , Kelly. I will move on. For real this ti. Thank you for making happy again.”
I chewed my bottom lip as I watched him leave. He even patted Luke’s shoulder and grinned at him before he left completely. I knew Chris. He was hurt but he was still smiling.
This was the mystery of love. Why did we fall in love with the person who was in love with soone else? Why not with the person who was in love with us too? How complicated!
I sighed and jumped in shock when my phone suddenly rang.
I imdiately picked up the call and cleared my throat... “Hello?”
[Kelly?]
“Grams?”
[Yes, honey. Can you visit at my house, please? I feel sad. Let’s talk.]
I squeezed my eyes closed. I feel like she’s gonna convince not to pursue the divorce. I felt my conscience kicking inside.
I should tell Grams the truth but I couldn’t bring myself to tell her. I felt like I would shatter her into pieces. I was also afraid that sothing bad might happen to her if I told her the truth. Her heart was fragile. We all knew that.
[Can’t you give your old lady a chance to be with you? I miss you, my granddaughter.]
I opened my eyes and bit my bottom lip. “I...will visit you the day after tomorrow.”
[Oh! Thank you, honey. Thank you so much. You don’t know how happy you made . I’m expecting you at dinnerti the day after tomorrow, okay? Don’t be late! I will cook your favorite food.]
I chuckled happily and nodded. “Yes, Grams. I missed you and your dish too. See you.”
I felt disappointed with myself as soon as the call ended. I pald my forehead and squeezed my eyes closed again.
God! I should tell the truth when we et. I couldn’t lie to her anymore.
