Kelly’s POV
I slowed down on the staircase as I saw Klay at the end of the stairs looking up at . I clenched my jaws and made a straight face as I continued walking.
“Kelly...”
I walked past him, ignoring him completely.
In the kitchen, I saw Amanda having breakfast while scrolling on her phone. She was smiling but after she felt my presence, she rolled her eyes.
“I’m done here. I lost my appetite.”
I laughed sarcastically after she walked out of the dining hall.
She still has the guts to act like that after everything I heard last night? She’s really a thick-faced bitch.
“Kelly, let’s talk.” Klay followed that made so irritated so early in the morning.
Last night, I locked the door in my room so he doesn’t have a choice but to sleep in his own bedroom that was a guest room before.
“Kelly...”
I pushed his arm away when he attempted to lock between his body and the refrigerator.
He sighed but I didn’t throw him even a single glance. I’m just staying because I still need to wait for dad’s recovery but after that, we will leave this house together.
“Kelly, please...” Klay blocked my way when I attempted to leave after pouring a glass of fresh milk.
I lifted my race and looked at him with a blank expression.
“Please, babe...”
“Can’t you see that I don’t wanna talk to you? Or you’ve lost your sense of respect?”
His eyes softened, “Kelly, we need to talk. We need to fix this.”
I laughed sarcastically. “There’s nothing to fix because there was nothing between us in the first place, Klay. It was all a lie.”
“No, Kelly. I already told you I fell in love with you.”
“It doesn’t matter now,” I answered coldly. “You betrayed and that’s all I can think of. You can’t make forget about that, Klay. It’s already curved in my head.”
He looked down, “I’m sorry. Can’t you forgive ?”
“Are you willing to forget and make everything right?”
He looked shocked as he stared down at . I laughed. He’s doing this because of a certain reason that he couldn’t tell . However, it’s still not valid. It won’t justify what he did because what he did is unforgivable.
“You can’t, right?” I asked sarcastically. “You can’t because you have a certain. A reason that left a wound in you... That’s the sa for , Klay. I can’t forgive you because I have a reason not to.”
I walked out on him after that and went upstairs. I ignored Amanda who’s sitting on the couch like a queen.
I still feel so disgusted after knowing that Klay and Amanda had a physical relationship before.
They were bed partners before and it’s making so sick that I slept with the man who slept with the third wife of my father. That’s insanely sick and absurd.
“Dad...” I smiled and sat on my dad’s bed.
He looked at while he’s sitting on the bed with his back resting against the headboard. I put my glass of fresh milk on the bedside table.
“I have sothing to tell you,” I said and held his hands. He’s just sitting on the bed, looking at .
“We will leave this house once you have recovered.”
His eyes mirrored his shock. He stared at as he opened his mouth and tried to say sothing but he still couldn’t speak clearly. I can only hear his groans and grunts.
“I know everything now, dad.” I gritted my teeth and sucked my breath as my anger resurfaced again.
“I know now what Klay and Amanda have been doing behind our backs.”
Dad’s eyes pooled with tears as he nodded and squeezed my hands.
“You don’t have to worry about and your grandchild,” I added as I caressed my baby bump. I already told him about my pregnancy together with what happened in my life after I left ho. I told him everything when we’re in the garden.
After talking to my dad, I tried to find lawyers online who can help with the problem. I need to put dad’s assets back on his na. I can’t bear to see him losing everything he worked hard on.
This isn’t my dad’s downfall. This can’t be.
I let the whole day pass, spending my ti with my dad and thinking about what I can do to make things right.
I want to ask dad about why Klay seed so angry at him but I don’t want this to affect my dad’s condition. He might get worse, so I need to be cautious.
While I was trying to contact a lawyer, I heard a soft knock on my door.
“Who’s that?”
I gritted my teeth when no one answered. That only ans the person behind the closed door is none other than Klay.
I didn’t wanna open the door for him, so I continued contacting the lawyer but the line kept on dying.
“I know what you have been doing, Kelly. Don’t even try.”
I froze as I felt goosebumps because of the tone of his voice. I feel like he’s beco a different person now compared to how he acted this morning and last night.
Fear shouldn’t stop . I still need to fight for my father’s right.
I took a deep breath and opened the door, courageous enough to face the real evil behind his fake facade.
“What do you want?” I asked coldly after I t his eyes.
He looked stressed and worn out as he stared into my eyes and slightly tilted his head, glancing inside my room.
“You have to stay here, Kelly,” he said using the coldest tone I could ever hear from him. “I told you, I will be wherever you are. That basically ans you can’t escape from .”
In spite of the sudden fear that rose in my heart, I looked at him with hatred.
“You think you can stop ? You can’t manipulate again, Klay. I have already seen your true colors–”
I paused and was shocked when he took a step closer and pushed the door of my room. He moved his face closer to mine as he stared into my eyes like a madman. His eyes feel like it’s showing the real definition of hell. It’s scary and dangerous.
“You have yet to see my true colors, Kelly. You should always obey or your father will suffer more. Don’t try . I love you so much that I can’t hurt you, but I loathe your father to the depths of hell. That’s a whole different level.”
