Matt’s POVI was cleaning my own wound on the cheek when mom went down the stairs and gasped upon seeing our faces.The new house was huge and good but I don’t like it here. I still like to stay in the province rather than in this crowded city.“What happened to the both of you?” He went to me and touched my face before she checked Mason’s bruised eyebrow and lip.“It’s nothing, mom,” I answered, not wanting to make this an issue.“Nothing? That's not nothing, Matt! Who did this to you? Huh?”I shook my head. “We’re no longer kids, mom.”“It’s Kelly’s boyfriend. The President of ADE.” Mason said and looked at me with a hardened expression.I hissed.“That b*tch again?” Mom screamed. Her neck and face were red. Tsk!“Did you still visit Ava’s grave?” Mom growled as she looked at me.I stared at her blankly. “Yes.”“Matt!” She screamed. “I told you don’t ever try to see them!”I shook my head. “I just wanna know what kind of person they are.”“Kelly is a gold digger, Matt! She’s stealin
Kelly’s POV“What do you mean?” Matt’s face darkened and he clenched his jaws. It looks like he doesn’t have any idea about what’s happening in the family he’s trying to protect. I understand him. As part of the Foster family, he wanted to keep it intact. But unfortunately for him, the family has been ruined a long time ago.I laughed sarcastically. “Will you still help me if I tell you that your parents might be involved?”He took a single step forward. “What do you mean, Kelly?”“Don’t try to help me without knowing what’s happening behind the curtain, Matt. You might end up ruining yourself.”I walked past him but he firmly held my elbow, gripping it tight. “Just fcking tell me what’s happening in this family, Kelly.”“It’s for you to find out,” I answered coldly and pulled my arm back. I entered the house completely as Emily and Felicia followed me.“This is the study room, Miss Kelly. Everything valuable was being kept inside this room. This…” She grabbed a thick photo album as s
Kelly’s POVI’m standing in front of the sunflower farm. Emily was beside me, silently watching the wind gently blowing the flower petals. After my conversation with Felicia and some argument with Matt, I found myself going here to relax.Felicia’s mother thinks it was mom’ uncle who had her kidnapped when she was a kid. But I don’t have any access to that part of the past now that Gallian Foster is dead. I should just keep the investigation straight through the path that will lead me to my mom’s murderer. The documents given to me by Attorney Lee were all burned down. I have copies and he doesn’t know about that. The problem is I find it strange that he’s not willing to help me anymore.“What’s your plan?”I sighed at Emily’s question. “I don’t know.”“If you want to end this then you need people who have access to the part of the past that you need to open.”I shook my head and looked down. “Sara doesn’t want to help and I don’t think Matt will still help.”“I didn’t know you have a
Emily’s POVTwo days after we visited the ancestral house of Kelly’s family, I felt someone following me while I’m walking along the empty parking lot of the condominium tower. I just visited my father in the hospital. He got a stroke last year and he’s still not recovering. I don’t know if I should be happy because the person who ruined my life is finally suffering or felt bad because he’s still my father.Before I could even enter the elevator, someone dragged me by the wrist and slammed me against the wall beside the elevator.I met a pair of eyes burning in anger. He was looking at me while gripping my shoulders as if he wanted to crash me right then.“What do you know about Kelly’s plans?”I stared blankly at him before I let out a soft chuckle. His forehead creased and he clenched his jaws.“You seemed to have two personalities, huh?”He gritted his teeth. “Just tell me what you know! What is she planning and what kind of information does she have?”I licked my bottom lip and pu
Klay’s POV“Why don’t you use your father’s resources to get the woman you want, Mr. Carver? If you order your men to capture her, she'll be here in a day.”I shook my head and sighed. “She’s no ordinary woman. She’s very important to me and I don’t wanna hurt her more. All I want is for her to accept me again.”“The organization is willing to do everything, Sir. Just tell us and we’ll kill the person who’s stealing your girl.”I gritted my teeth and glared at them. “Do you want her to hate me all my life? I want her to forgive me and you’re telling me to kill the person important to her?”They all looked down and apologized. I gritted my teeth and balled my fists. I had no choice but to go back to my father’s headquarters. After I successfully dethroned and killed him, I inherited all his properties and even his mafia organization. I didn't want this before but now I’ve seen the use of having such a powerful organization. This organization will protect me.The door swung open, one of
Connor’s POV“Dad.”I turned to look at Matt who just entered my study room. I signaled him to sit on the chair in front of my table but he didn’t oblige. He stood in front of me with a straight face.“What is it, son?”He scoffed. “Did you know that Kelly believed that her mother was murdered and that she’s suspecting us?”It’s nothing to be shocked about. I know that that’s why I’m doing everything to keep my family out of the hot seat.“I know.”His forehead creased. “Dad, will you just let her do that?”I chuckled. “Let her be, son. She’s just lonely. Once she realizes that she’s wrong, she’ll stop.”“What if she won’t stop? What if she has evidence?”That alarmed me. I clenched my jaws and I stared at my son. “Evidence? She has evidence?”He shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t know. Maybe she has. That’s why she was so confident when she told me that her mother was murdered. Why?I sucked my breath and shook my head. “Nothing. Go. I have some paperwork to finish.”“Paperwork? I thou
Kelly’s POVI was rubbing my eyes while walking towards the kitchen when the door swung open and Emily entered the unit.My lips parted after I saw her looks. Her hair was messy and she’s wearing a man’s dress shirt. Obviously, underneath her was only panties.“What happened to you?” I asked worriedly.She smirked. “Matt Foster happened.”My eyes widened in shock. “What?”She sat on the stool and asked for water. I gave her one glass and she took a deep sigh after that.I was just staring at her and that’s when I realized what she meant. From the looks of it, proven by the large dress shirt she’s wearing, she shared a night with Matt.“Emily…”She smirked. “Don’t worry about me, Kelly. I liked it.”My eyes squinted but I did not say anything. I was waiting for Emily to say things and I’m glad when she did.“He looked problematic last night, Kelly. I’m guessing he found out something.”I slowly nodded. “Do you think he’ll side with us?”“If he’s a righteous man, he will. But there’s a
Kelly’s POVBecause of Mrs. Anderson’s strange plans and Snow’s operation pair me up with Pierce. I was driving my car silently while Pierce was sitting in the passenger seat beside me. I know that he didn’t get his mom’s plan at first but when he noticed it, he immediately sided with them.“Kelly…”I glanced at him and realized he’s staring at me. I swallowed hard and bit my bottom lip. I suddenly want to kiss him.“May I go with you whenever you need to visit your doctor?”It’s about my pregnancy. Thinking about visiting a doctor while he’s with me makes my heart flutter. I’d want that too.I smiled. “You don’t need to ask me about that thing.”He smiled. “Thank you. Uhm… Are you really going? To vacation this weekend?”“Why not?” I glanced at him. “It’s time for me to unwind.”“How about your investigation?”“I want a day or two away from the problem. Why? You don’t wanna invite me?”“What? Of course, I want you to come. It will make me very happy actually.”I parked the car in fro
