Kelly’s POV
Amanda’s words kept bugging me. I don’t wanna believe her but I don’t know Klay well. The only thing I can do now is confront Klay to know the truth. The problem is I don’t wanna talk to him. I don’t even wanna see his face because I feel like seeing him suffocates me.
He made me believe in such lies and it shattered my heart that’s just starting to heal. ƒrēewebnovel.com
“Dad, what’s that?” I asked when I saw him trying to reach something underneath his pillow.
I helped him get it and something touched my heart after I saw my mom’s photo. He’s still keeping this.
I noticed that there’s no single picture of my mom in the whole mansion. I bet it’s all because of Amanda’s doing.
Smiling, I caressed my mom’s photo before I slowly handed it to my dad.
“You’re still keeping this?”
He smiled back and nodded slowly before he looked at mom’s photo. I just smiled before I pulled myself up and went beside the window. I looked outside and saw some of Klay’s men guarding the house.
He threatened to hurt my dad if I insisted on leaving but I don’t have a choice. I need to leave and I will take my father with me.
When the night fell, I was about to go back to my room when I heard someone in the lanai. It was Klay, talking to someone over the phone.
“She can’t escape! I won’t let her!” His voice was dangerous and deadly.
I felt goosebumps when I saw his dark expression. His eyes were sharp and deadly. He looked like a beast who can kill anyone who gets in his way. He’s very different from the version of him he introduced to me.
“No! Damn it! If she tries to escape again, I will surely kill her and every important person to her. She will suffer all her life that she would beg me to just kill her to end her misery. Trust me. I won’t let anyone get in my way and ruin my plans.”
I cupped my mouth and hid behind the large indoor plant. He will kill who? Me? If I try to escape again, will he really kill me?
Swallowing hard, I caressed my baby bump. He threatened the life of the people I treasured. My dad and my baby. No! I need to escape. We need to escape as early as we can.
Tears rolled down my cheeks in fear as I ran back to my father’s room. I saw him sitting on his wheelchair while looking down the window. I rushed to him and kneeled in front of him.
“Dad. Dad, we need to leave now.”
He stared at me. Worry is in his eyes.
I pulled myself up and looked around, trying to think of a way to bring dad with me.
“Dad, we have to—” I paused when I felt his warm hand on mine.
