Klay’s POV
“STUPID! STUPID!” I punched all my n and threw every appliance that my hand reached. I kept on shouting and ssing my hair in so much anger because of what happened.
Kelly escaped and we we’re unable to find them even after we spent the whole night searching. It’s making so fcking angry how an invalid man was able to lure every guard I scattered around the mansion just because of a re shout.
“Sir—”
“WHAT?” I glared at my right hand man and he imdiately bowed his head, fear was visible on his face.
“W-We couldn’t trace the owner of the sports car.”
I balled my fists that were trembling in so much anger. Emily. Emily and Pierce Anderson are the only people who have guts to go against .
If this was one of them, I will make sure that they will suffer in my hands. Especially that bitch, Emily. I’ve been hunting her since she paid Kelly a visit in the flower shop. Everything started when she paid her a visit. She must’ve said sothing to Kelly that ssed with her mind. I will never forget that woman. I will tear her into pieces and punish everyone around her.
And if it’s Pierce Anderson... Damn! He won’t be able to live peacefully again. I will ruin him and I will start with his company.
“Tail Emily and Pierce Anderson. Don’t co back here without news about Kelly’s whereabouts.”
“B-But. Sir. Pierce Anderson is in another country—”
“ARE YOU SAYING HE COULDN’T RIDE A PLANE TO CO HERE?” I shouted at my dumb right hand man.
I need to get Kelly back. She belongs to . Only to .
“Sir, what should we do with Mr. Monroe.”
I clenched my jaws. “Lock him in his room. Don’t ever show that old man’s face to .”
*** Kelly’s POV
“This house is yours?” I asked Emily with doubt.
She raised an eyebrow as she opened the main door. “Yes, why?”
“It doesn’t suit your style.”
She chuckled and pointed to the couch. I walked towards there and sat, resting my back comfortably. She saved and brought to a safe place but I still couldn’t completely trust her. After I’ve been fooled, it’s hard for to trust easily again. I think all of these will make have trust issues.
“I know you still don’t trust but you don’t have a choice. I’m the only one who can help you,” Emily said as she took her jacket off and walked towards the kitchen.
I road my eyes around, examining the whole first floor. The house is simple and that’s true that it does not match with Emily’s style.
“Drink.” Emily handed a glass of water.
I suddenly felt thirsty so I drank it all without even thinking if it has sothing that can harm or whatever.
Emily sat in front of and crossed her legs. She stared at my face before she took a deep breath. “You have to stay here for the anti. No one will recognize you here since this is a remote area. However, you shouldn’t go out casually just to be careful.”
I nodded. “I’ll live here alone?”
“Klay would suspect if I stayed here with you. Don’t worry, you’re safe here.”
I nodded but I thought about sothing. “Uhm... Can I borrow so money? I didn’t bring anything with .”
She smirked. “The refrigerator is full of stocks good for 3 days. You’ll stay here for three days until I process everything that you need to leave the country.”
“Huh?” I was shocked because of what she said.
I’ll leave the country? I can accept how she helped last night but helping leave the country is too much. That is...too good to be true.
“The only way to escape Klay’s claws is to leave the country, Kelly. It’s up to you if you will go back but I will help you leave this country in three days.”
I stared at her and I knew doubt could be mirrored in my eyes. “Why are you doing this? Why are you helping , Emily?”
“Soone paid a large amount of money to help you. That’s all.”
I was alard because of what she said. “Who? Was it my dad?”
She smirked and shook her head. “You don’t need to know. What’s important is freeing yourself from your obsessive step brother. He won’t let you go easily, Kelly. And you know him and his bloodline. He has a vast connection and he can track you down in less than a week so you only have three days to prepare yourself to leave.”
I bit my bottom lip and nodded. I don’t have a choice. Just like what she said, I can only trust her for now because no one is here with .
“Follow .”
I rose from my seat and followed Emily. She brought upstairs and opened a room’s door.
“This is your room. There are clothes inside the cabinet.”
She walked towards the cabinet and from the lower level, she grabbed so clothes and showed it to . “You can use this to disguise yourself. You will only use this when you’re leaving the country. Your passport and plane ticket will be delivered here so you shouldn’t leave this house.”
A disguise. Yes. I need that. Klay will imdiately find if I don’t wear sothing to hide my identity but will it work in the airport?
“What if the airport personnel found out that I’m disguised?”
She smirked arrogantly. “It’s not a problem, Kelly. You don’t need to think about sothing that will never happen. I’ve already thought this through. You won’t get caught.”
I nodded. “What about you?”
She smiled. “Don’t worry about .”
“What if Klay finds out that you’re helping ?” I couldn’t help but ask as I rembered Klay’s words when I caught him talking to soone over the phone. I know he’s not joking when he says those words. Reason why I risk my life just to escape from him.
“He can’t harm , Kelly. He still needs .”
I didn’t understand what she ant but I didn’t ask again. After showing the whole house, Emily handed so cash.
“Emily, you already helped enough.”
“This is from your real savior, Kelly. You’ll need this. How can you live in another country if you don’t have money?”
My real savior... I bit my bottom lip and took a deep sigh before accepting the money. Emily smiled again after that. I followed her downstairs as she wore her jacket again.
“You’re leaving already?”
She faced and I was shocked when she gently caressed my baby bump. I don’t know if it’s just or I really saw pain in her eyes as she caressed my baby bump. Her palms were warm and gentle.
“Yeah. Rember everything I said, especially the part where you shouldn’t leave the house.”
I nodded. “Yes. Thank you so much, Emily. For helping and for giving a hint about my father’s condition.”
When she looked at my face again, she smiled. “Take care of yourself and your baby. I didn’t risk my life to see you dying or falling into Klay’s trap again. Do what’s best for you. That’s what matters the most.”
I don’t know what to say so I just stared at her as she walked out of the house and entered her car again. I was just staring at the car while thinking about everything that happened and everything she had said.
If she was really paid by soone, why did she show so much care about and my baby? Normally, a person paid to do sothing will just send here and leave imdiately but she stayed for a while, told so words that can lift my spirit and hope. She even instructed clearly about what will happen in three days.
Her intentions weren’t clear but one thing is for sure... She’s on my side.
After locking the door and making sure no one’s lurking around, I went upstairs and lay on the bed. Right after my back laid on the bed, I felt the exhaustion I failed to notice while escaping from Klay and his n.
I fell asleep after that and when I woke up, the clock on the bedside table told that’s past lunchti already.
I went downstairs and straight to the kitchen. I opened the refrigerator and true to Emily’s words, the refrigerator is full of food stocks good for three days.
I started cooking for my lunch and while I’m eating alone, I suddenly thought of my dad. I hope he’s okay. I hope Klay isn’t really hurting him.
Taking a deep sigh, I forced myself to eat for the sake of my baby even if it’s too sad to eat alone.
So many things have happened to my life and I didn’t know I’d co to this point.
I was thinking about what will happen to my life now while cleaning the dishes. My thoughts were flooding in my head that I decided to roam around the house again. To familiarize with the accessibility in case sothing unexpected happens.
I discovered there are three rooms upstairs. When I opened the first one, it was just a guest room while the second one seed to be Emily’s room.
I’m curious so I invited myself in and checked her room. A picture fra on the bedside table caught my attention. My forehead creased after I saw Emily’s photo with Klay.
My lips parted in shock. She said she didn’t love Klay so why...
When I lifted the picture fra, I realized the difference. The man isn’t Klay. They almost have the sa features but the man in the picture is smiling, sothing that would never casually do.
Who is this man? Why does he look so happy with Emily in the picture and more importantly... Why did he resemble Klay so much?
