Kelly’s POV
“Kelly...”
A soft hand caressing my cheeks and a gentle voice woke me up from my deep slumber. When I opened my eyes, Pierce’s gentle brown eyes greeted me.
“Wake up. We’re here.”
That woke me up completely. I looked around and realized we’re still in the plane. “Where did you bring me?”
“To my villa.”
That shocked me. Why did he bring me here and more importantly, why is he helping me? I understand if he still considers me as his best friend but this isn’t right. He’s getting married. Helping me like this will only bring misunderstanding between him and his fiance.
“Don’t look at me like that, Kelly. You know why I’m doing this,” he said, looking away.
He pulled himself up and carried my bag. He offered his hand to me but I pulled myself up without accepting his help.
My legs are still weak and my heart is still aching because of what happened to my dad. If this was Klay’s fault, I swear I will do everything to make him pay. I will not stop until he’s begging for my mercy. I don’t care if I loved him. Hurting my dad and attempting to hurt my child is on a different level. I will never and can never forgive him.
I saw a luxury car as soon as I got off the plane. Pierce opened the door of the passenger seat and looked at me. Without a word, I slipped myself in.
He brought me to a different country instead of our hometown. He’s doing this to save me from Klay and as much as I want to avoid him because of our past, I don’t have a choice left but to put up with his presence and accept his help.
“Are you the one who paid Emily to help me?” I asked, looking straight at the road as he started the engine and drove.
I remember my conversation with Emily and she clearly told me that someone paid her to help me. If he’s the one who did it, even when I’m confused, I’d thank him from the bottom of my heart.
“I just did what I had to do, Kelly. I failed you once, I don’t wanna fail you again.”
I nodded. “Thank you.”
I felt him glancing at me for a second or two. He didn’t say anything but I bet he’s shocked by my calm voice. The first thing I always do whenever I see him after our divorce is push him away, so this treatment is new to him. Besides, I don’t have energy left in me to fight and push him away. I have to accept that I need his help because right now, I have no one and nothing.
The car stopped in front of a huge house. The design was simple but it looks elegant.
Pierce opened the door on my side before he got my back on the backseat. I stared at the two storey house in front of me. This reminds me of our house when we’re still together.
