Kelly’s POV
“Are you okay? Did she hurt you?” Klay asked worriedly after Amanda walked out on us. My eyes followed her as she stord out of the dining hall while Klay stayed by my side, looking at with worried eyes.
“Kelly...”
I took a deep sigh and looked at him as I pald my forehead. “I feel like she’s planning sothing against .”
He looked alard because of what I said. He stared into my eyes intently.
“Don’t think about it too much. She just wants to annoy you.”
“She won’t annoy without a reason, Klay. I know she hates and I feel like she’s planning sothing against . She wants to get rid of .”
He shook his head, “Kelly...”
I shrugged my shoulders and pressed my lips together. I feel like he doesn’t believe . So I had to shut my mouth and think about it on my own.
“Sit down. I’ll prepare your breakfast. What do you want?”
“Just...” I took a deep sigh. “...just fresh milk and bread.”
“Okay. Just sit and calm down.”
I didn’t say anything. I just watched him as he put bread on the toaster before he poured fresh milk on the glass.
We didn’t talk much over breakfast. After that, Klay left after kissing goodbye. I just gave him a small smile as he left. After he disappeared from my sight, I went upstairs to see my dad.
I panicked when I didn’t see him on the bed. A maid ca in, and bowed her head at .
“Where’s dad?”
“Sir Klay told us to bring him to the garden, miss.”
I nodded and went downstairs. I found my father sitting on his wheelchair while staring at the garden of flowers.
“Good morning, dad,” I greeted him with a sweet smile and energetic voice.
He looked at . His expression told that he’s actually waiting for . He grabbed my hand but he paused when he saw the maid standing behind . She was the sa maid who told that dad was here.
I looked at the maid, “Can you leave us for a mont?”
“I’m sorry, miss. My job is to keep my eyes on Mr. Monroe since he’s ill.”
I sucked my breath. Why do I suddenly feel suffocated in a house that should make feel at ease? I feel like I’m not free in this house and everyone’s eyes are on , watching my every move.
Is everyone here on Amanda’s side?
“How’s your sleep, dad?”
He looked at with his gentle eyes. I just opened a conversation but the truth is I want to know why he’s acting this way. If my hunch was right, I will do everything to kick Amanda out of this house. She’s not welco in my family.
Dad glanced at the maid behind again and I was shocked when he suddenly kicked the table on purpose. It wasn’t that strong but the juice spilled and the maid imdiately took the empty glass. I stared at dad. He did it secretly but on purpose.
“Get us another glass please,” I said to the maid who’s cleaning the ss. She imdiately nodded and left while dad grabbed my arm tightly after the maid disappeared from our sight.
“Dad, what’s wrong?”
“R...ru...” he was saying words he couldn’t complete so I didn’t understand him.
I leaned closer and held his hands. “Slowly, dad. What is it?”
“Hmm...” I was shocked when he suddenly sobbed. “Le...ave. R...un.”
I swallowed hard as I stared at his face. He’s telling to run away. Why?
I gritted my teeth as I rembered Amanda’s threat.
“Is it Amanda, dad?” I asked, almost a whisper.
He nodded desperately but he’s still holding so tight. He forced himself to open his mouth again to say another word when he paused and horror registered on his face. He was looking behind and right then, I heard a sharp noise of shoes coming.
“You’re having a good ti here without ? That’s rude,” Amanda said smirking as she sat on the chair across from .
“Hello, dear,” she smiled sweetly at my father and I know that smile is hiding a deadly threat.
“I want to bond with my dad, please,” I said as I looked Amanda in the eyes.
She chuckled and crossed her long legs. She’s wearing a short skirt and she really looked like a slut in her outfit.
“You can bond while I’m here. Besides, don’t you want to bond with too? I will listen to your stories.”
I gritted my teeth. “Amanda!”
She smirked. “I can give you advice when it cos to relationships, Kelly. I can even recomnd a sex position so Klay would enjoy you more.”
I gasped and looked at my dad. He was looking at . I want to tell him about my relationship with Klay but Amanda had to spoil everything.
“Dad...”
“Did you know that your childrens are fcking each other, dear?” Amanda asked with a sad tone as she looked at my dad.
“Stop it, Amanda!” I growled.
I held dad’s hands and he squeezed my hand tight. I can feel his anger and I understand now why he’s acting this way. It’s all because of Amanda.
Amanda evilly rose from her seat as the maid ca back with a new glass of juice. Amanda winked at before she completely left. I gritted my teeth and squeezed my eyes closed in so much anger.
“Dad, I’m sorry if I didn’t tell you about Klay and I. I didn’t an to hide it from you. I’m just...scared because you know our situation.”
Dad stared into my eyes. Tears were pooling in his eyes as he shook his head. “N...N...o...”
I smiled at him. “I promise you, dad. I will be happy. Klay loves and I love him too. We will find a way not to create a scandal out of this.”
“Ru...n...”
I shook my head and squeezed his hands and whispered... “No, dad. I will not run away. I won’t let Amanda win. I will make her leave and I will not stop until I find sothing I could use against her.”
Dad burst into tears so I had to pull him for a gentle hug to comfort him and calm him down. Amanda did sothing horrible that’s why dad is acting like this. I should find a way to kick her out but first, Klay needs to know this. I know he would help kick Amanda because from what I observed, they don’t get along either. It’s not only who wants Amanda gone.
I caressed dad’s back because he won’t stop crying. He sounds so scared and I know he’s scared for . However, I still have a chance to make this right, so I would take that chance as an opportunity.
