That's what happened when you you continue on the wrong path. <br /> Taking a deep breath, "We are over. let's get a divorce!" I said.<br /> His forehead creased. "Kelly.Did you see me smooching her or drilling her? I won't go intimate with her as long as you're carrying my name-"<br /> "I promise that I will be happy, Pierce. Without you by my side." I mocked.<br /> Your baby needs a strong mommy. <br /> I won't stay in this inferno long. I hope that bimbo falls into a manhole soon.<br /> ————————<br /> Kelly's POV<br /> Was it a blessing to marry your best friend?<br /> I was not very sure what Pierce thought but marrying him was a dream come true for me. And now what was more exciting, we were going to welcome our first child.<br /> "It's a good thing you're cautious. You could've lost your baby, Miss Monroe." The GYN told me seriously as she could see the shock in my eyes.<br /> I subconsciously touched my belly, and still couldn't believe a baby was lying there. Had I heard it right? I was pregnant? I was pregnant with a baby for Pierce! My best friend and my first crush!<br /> On the way out of the hospital, I couldn't wait to tell Pierce about our baby. I wondered what his reaction would be. Would he scream in happiness? Would he smooch me and all? God! I couldn't contain my happiness.<br /> I cupped my red face as I fantasized. But the moment I felt the cold from the simple ring on my finger, my wildly beating heart calmed down. I almost forgot that Pierce wasn't the type to be keen on having children, especially when our marriage was arranged by his family.<br /> Pierce was a complete gentleman, both as a friend and a husband. Every time we had intercourse, he was considerate but cautious, saying there was no need to add extra shackles when we were not ready.<br /> This baby, in a way, was out of plan.<br /> My mind was becoming restless as I sat in my car. Would this be good news for him? What if Pierce was still not ready for the baby?<br /> "Ma'am, is everything okay? Do you need to call the Boss?" My private driver Luke asked worriedly as he noticed my frown face. Luke was reliable like a family but if I chose to share, I still wanted Pierce to be the first to know this news. He's my baby's father.<br /> "No," I shook my head, giving Luke a reassuring smile. "He's on the flight. I'll talk to him later myself." So that I could sense his answer directly from his raw expressions. I was always good at that.<br /> I closed my eyes recalling the first day we met.<br /> His bright smile in the sunlight was so dazzling, he was a Prince. Long before we became best friends, I fell in love with him at first sight. But it was only an unrequited love, I knew it well.<br /> I slid down the car window to get some fresh air but accidentally caught a glimpse of our old high school. That bitter feeling filled my chest once again. Pierce is my first love but I'm not his.<br /> In high school, I was only a boring nerd in other's eyes while Pierce Anderson was the shining Quarterback. Everyone was surprised that we could be friends. Though enmity rose, I enjoyed being around him. I slowly realized that I didn't want just to be his friend.<br /> However, right when I was about to confess my feelings to him, another girl came into his life.<br /> I shook my head trying to get rid of those sad old memories. I gripped the cold wedding ring on my finger, telling myself the past was past. Pierce said they were over and I was his wife now. I was his wife who was carrying his baby now.<br /> our own hands. We enjoyed it. Yes, I must have I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes and opened the door to our house. My heart calmed down as I breathed in the scent of home. Our home. It wasn't as luxurious as his family's villa but cozy. Pierce and I decorated it together with been overthinking. That woman had been out of our lives for a long time and my marriage with Pierce was as beautiful as a fairy tale for the past three years.<br /> I glanced at the clock on the wall. At this point,Pierce should have gotten off the plane. He was over a month of traveling for the sake of our family's business. Pierce was the President of ADE, the leading fashion magazine company all over Asia, and I was actually the Vice President of the company. We were not only life partners but also good partners at work.<br /> I really missed him. I dialed his number immediately. I really wanted to hear his voice now,to know when he would arrive home. I would prepare a good meal for him and he would prize me with a sweet smooch. And then we might have passionate intercourse like what he gave me the night before his business trip. Oops, I almost forgot I was pregnant now. I needed to tell him this first and then we could do something else instead.<br /> I was happily envisioning our lovely reunion and my heart dropped when a woman's voice came over the line.<br /> [Hello?]<br /> I snapped the phone as just one word came out.<br /> My phone fell to the floor and my body started shaking uncontrollably. NO! It couldn't be her! It couldn't be Lexi! She was already out of our life! I must have misheard.<br /> I rushed to the fridge in an attempt to calm myself with the aid of some beverage. But the moment I touched the bottle, I was reminded of the doctor's words and my baby. I needed to be cautious for my baby's sake. I turned to get a box of milk and walked toward the sofa.<br /> I didn't know what made me recognize that as Lexi's voice at that moment. I meant Lexi and I were never close. Lexi Gilbert was a typical blonde beauty that men would go crazy for. She was the popular cheerleader in high school while<br /> Pierce was the star quarterback. Better match than he and a nerd like me, right? It wasn't surprising that he had fallen for her.<br /> My pride couldn't stand watching the man I loved go crazy for another woman. So I had once tried to stay away from them silently but Pierce refused to quit from my life. Every time I drowned myself in a sea of books and studies to forget them,Pierce would appear at my doorway asking me out. I couldn't say no to his charming smile;I couldn't say no when he claimed it was his duty as my best friend to take me to enjoy the real world.<br /> To not ruin our friendship, I could only hide my broken heart, silently playing the role of his best friend by his side and watching his happy face for another girl. I finally got up the courage to study abroad as I learned that Pierce was planning to propose to Lexi. However, I never expected Grams would call to beg me back.<br /> I returned in a hurry only to see a lifeless Pierce.<br /> His heart was harmed badly, by Lexi. My beloved sunshine boy was nowhere to be seen, and my heart was bleeding. I started to hate Lexi from that moment. I gave up my cherished man to her,and how dared she harm him so badly! That witch!<br /> Pierce didn't tell anyone what happened except he was over with Lexi. Grams arranged our marriage.<br /> I didn't understand why he agreed until the day I heard him say that marrying anyone but Lexi would be the same for him.<br /> It was so fcking hurt but I still walked into this marriage without a second thought. My cherished boy was broken and I wanted to fix him, not caring if I would ruin myself in the process.<br /> I fell asleep at home feeling so insecure and worried. I woke up in the middle of the night when I felt someone caressing my cheek.<br /> Slowly, I opened my eyes and I realized I had fallen asleep in the living area.<br /> Someone lifted me from the couch. I immediately recognized his scent and touch as I looked at him with heavy-lidded eyes.<br /> "Peirce….."<br /> "Hmm," he hummed as he walked towards the stairs. "Why did you sleep on the couch?"<br /> I stared at his face when he gently put me down on the bed. He caressed my hair and smooched my forehead. He was always so gentle and that was why I loved him so much. Even when making love,he was very considerate of my feelings. We'd been apart for over a month, my body missed him and my heart wanted him.<br /> "Where have you been? I've been waiting for you," I said as I caressed his cheek.<br /> "Just met a friend. You said you were waiting for me, is it something urgent?"<br /> Looking at his gentle face, suddenly I didn't want to ruin the moment. so I closed my parted lips and swallowed the truth back in my stomach once again. Tomorrow, maybe tomorrow, I will have the courage to face all the puzzles.<br /> I shook my head and pouted, telling him that I was sleepy. He chuckled and carefully carried me to the bed. The moment he was about to leave me after giving me a goodnight smooch, I panicked for some reason. I then quickly grabbed him and smooched him with all my passion, trying to undress him, trying to make him touch me more and deeper. I missed him. I wanted him. I felt that the only way I could feel at ease was to let him put himself inside me again. To make sure he was still mine.<br /> "Wait Kels," Yet he stopped me by pinning my crazy hands on the bed. "I thought you said you're sleepy and you need to rest."<br /> "But I think I miss you more now." I looked at him with innocence and I could catch desire flashing in his eyes but I didn't know why it faded soon. He used to be happy when I became the initiative one.<br /> As if noticing my confusion, he chuckled and playfully pinched my nose, "I'll just take a shower.<br /> I smell beverage."<br /> I just nodded and watched him as he walked toward the bathroom. But drowsiness struck again so I closed my eyes to take a nap. However,it was already morning when I opened my eyes again and Pierce was beside me, putting a tray of food on the bedside table.<br /> "Hey!" I greeted and smiled when I realized what he'd done. He prepared breakfast for me. In bed.<br /> The sweetest.<br /> He smiled and sat on the bed. "Good morning."<br /> I grinned as I sat on the bed. He carried the tray and put it beside me. I shot an eyebrow up and tilted my head as I stared at his handsome face.<br /> His eyes are deep brown. His eyebrows were thick and black, complimenting his beautiful eyes. His nose was proud and pointed and his lips were red and thin. He literally looks like a seductive bad boy.<br /> Even Damon Salvatore would be embarrassed to stand beside him. No one stands a chance against this man.<br /> "What is this? Is this a bribe? You stood me up last night, bad boy."<br /> He didn't laugh. He heaved a sigh and gently tucked my hair on my ears before he held my hand and stared into my eyes. "I have something to tell you."<br /> I felt my heart race. I thought about our baby in my womb. He's got something to tell. I have something to tell him too.<br /> "W-What is it?" I asked as I felt my voice tremble.<br /> He took a deep sigh. "You know you're important to me, right?"<br /> I slowly nodded with parted lips. I couldn't answer. I'm scared of what he's about to say. I have a bad feeling about this.<br /> "You were my best friend before we got married.<br /> You are one of the few people I treasure..."<br /> I hid my balled fists under the sheet. I don't know why he's telling me all this but I felt tears pooling in the corner of my eyes already.<br /> "Kelly..." he paused and squeezed his eyes closed before he looked at me again in the eyes. "I-I think it's time for us to divorce."<br /> "P-Pierce..." I felt my heart clench.<br /> He smiled. "I know you don't have feelings for me either. You just married me because of my grandparents. You just did this because you love them. Now it's time for our real happiness, Kelly."<br /> I shook my head, "W-What are you talking about, Pierce?"<br /> "Lexi is back, Kelly. My first love is back."<br /> -<br /> Kelly's POV<br /> I got off the bed and tried to leave but Pierce grabbed my hand. I immediately wiped the tears that rolled down my cheeks before he could see them. He stood in front of me and looked at my face as I tried so hard to look down and avoid his eyes.<br /> I felt my heart breaking into pieces. I thought...I thought I could make him fall in love with me within those three years together. I thought his feelings would level up and would see me as a woman rather than just a best friend. I was stupid for hoping and dreaming so high.<br /> I failed. No matter how hard I tried, his heart belonged only to his first love Lexi.<br /> "Kelly..."<br /> I sucked my breath and swallowed the pain as I looked at him. I faked a smile, "I need to wash up before eating."<br /> He stared into my eyes as if trying to figure out what I was thinking. I know he knew me too well so I tried so hard to hide my pain and smiled at him.<br /> He sighed and let go of my hand. "Okay. I'll wait for you here. Let's eat and go to work together."<br /> Together? How cruel could he be? He still wanted us to get along like he didn't ask for a divorce? He wanted us to stay the way we were right after he told me that his first love was back and he wanted to divorce me?<br /> Oh Pierce, what was going on in your head?<br /> If I used to be able to force myself to stay in the seat of his best friend wishing him happiness, I no longer had that courage after the three years we'd shared. There's no way I could endure that kind of torture again, especially when I'm carrying his baby.<br /> The baby...I had thought it was good news for us but now...it would be more like a burden to him, I guess. A burden that would prevent him from getting his true love and freedom.<br /> I knew how an unwanted child to grow up. My parents were divorced even before my mother died and the new family of my father hated me and it hurts like inferno. I don't want my baby to experience the same thing I felt. I need to keep my baby away from it.<br /> I faked a smile again. "We can't. I need to visit the studio for the photoshoot of our new models.."<br /> "I'll go with you-"<br /> "No." I pushed his hand. His eyes followed my hand before he lifted his face to look at me again.<br /> "You have some documents to sign. Our schedules are already organized, remember?"<br /> "But.."<br /> "I have a personal driver, Pierce. I'll be fine to go alone."<br /> He sighed and slowly nodded. I turned my back on him and entered the bathroom. I immediately opened the shower and stood under the cold water. Tears cascaded down my cheeks as I covered my mouth to suppress my sobs.<br /> My shoulders were trembling really badly and when I thought about my baby, I swallowed hard and tried to calm myself down. I wiped my face and caressed my belly. I need to be strong. I need to stay calm. I shouldn't put my baby's life on the line just because I got my heart broken. I have to deal with this smartly.<br /> I sucked my breath and finished my bath. When I got out of the bathroom, I was shocked to see Pierce was still there. He was struggling to fix his tie in front of the full-length mirror. I also noticed my pair of heels and dress on the bed.<br /> "Hey! I picked your dress for today."<br /> Since our marriage wasn't public, Pierce said he would try to do little things for me as a husband.<br /> He did it well and I used to enjoy these sweet moments but now, it was going to kill me.<br /> I grabbed the dress and went inside the walk-in closet. I felt him following me. I put the white dress back and picked a red one. When I faced him , his forehead was creased.<br /> I smiled. "I prefer red today. I'd feel beautiful in this dress."<br /> His eyes went to the dress I was holding and his face immediately calmed down. He nodded and walked towards me.<br /> "I see. Help me fix this first."<br /> I put my dress on his arm and started fixing his tie. I could feel his eyes staring intently and it was making my heart beat so fast. I took a deep breath and chewed my bottom lip as I struggled to fix the tie. My vision is becoming blurry again.<br /> -<br /> "Kelly..."<br /> I jumped in shock. "Hmm?”<br /> "Are you okay?"<br /> I looked at him and smiled, "Yeah."<br /> "I have another thing to say."<br /> ? finished fixing his tie so I immediately grabbed the dress from him. I glanced at him before I other time. I'm going to be late."<br /> walked past him and spoke.. "Let's just talk some I heard him sigh as he followed me again. I grabbed my underwear and got dressed while he was standing behind me. He's silent the whole time as if he's thinking about something.<br /> "You should eat before you leave."<br /> I faced him and nodded. "I will. You should go now."<br /> "Kelly, we're on the same page, right?"<br /> I stared at him. No, Pierce. We're never on the same page. All of these are just my stupid fantasies. I thought you had feelings for me and I was so wrong.<br /> "If it's about the divorce, I understand everything,Pierce. I know what I have to do. Just give me some time because I'm really busy with the company. I will not run away."<br /> "Kelly, I'm not just doing this for myself. I'm also doing this for you. You've been caged with me ever since we got married. I know you're not happy because deep inside, you also want to find the man you deserve. Someone who will really love you. Not me. Not someone who's half-hearted."<br /> "I understand what you're trying to say, Pierce," I said and tried to turn my back but he held me by the waist, keeping me in place.<br /> He did everything to capture my eyes and he succeeded. He looked at me worriedly. "You are my best friend. I don't wanna lose you, Kels.<br /> You're one of my few people..."<br /> "I know," I said out of frustration. He looked shocked, so I calmed myself down. "I-I know. You don't have to worry. I'm just stressed about work.<br /> It's not about our divorce."<br /> His lips parted and he slowly nodded as if he was able to breathe properly. He walked towards me and I froze when he gently smooched my forehead...<br /> "Thank you, Kelly," he whispered. My heart clenched. It had been three years but I was still such a coward. Why couldn't you just tell him that you love him, Kelly? He's your husband and you're carrying his baby! Tell him and he might change his mind!<br /> I swallowed hard and was about to tell him but his phone rang. I didn't miss the caller ID. Again, it was Lexi.<br /> called Luke and he's waiting outside. Eat before "? gotta go." He scratched his head in apology and I didn't miss the upturned corners of his mouth. "I you go, okay?"<br /> With that, he left our room. The tears I had managed to suppress burst out again. Why would I think I could have a chance? He made his choice already the moment he asked for the divorce, didn't he?<br /> Whenever it came to Lexi, I was always the one he would abandon.<br /> -<br /> Kelly's POV<br /> I entered the studio wearing just two-inch red heels and a red dress. Everyone was looking my way as I walked along the hallway. They're all greeting me with a smile but my face remains stoic, not showing any emotions at all.<br /> The conversation with Pierce this morning was still lingering in my head, but I couldn't let it affect my work.<br /> I couldn't fail my work after I failed my marriage.<br /> I took a deep breath to adjust my condition.<br /> However, when I entered the photoshoot room, I could notice everyone was in chaos.<br /> "We can't! She's not answering her calls. What should we do? The Vice President is coming today. She'd get mad."<br /> "We can just tell her the truth. She's nice."<br /> "Not in this situation, Lily! She'd scold us-”<br /> "What's happening here?" I asked as I graced the room.<br /> The staff were now looking at me with worried expressions and I knew then that there was a problem.<br /> "G-Good morning, Miss Monroe."<br /> Miss Monroe. Of course, no one knew that Pierce and I were married except for our families. I felt a pinch in my heart because of that truth. It hurts.<br /> I stared at her blankly, "What?"<br /> "W-We have a problem, Miss Monroe. Miss Chen,our model has been refusing our calls. She said she heard that we're changing our model so.she doesn't want to come here. She's even...<br /> threatening to file a case against us."<br /> She bowed his head. I gritted my teeth and roamed my eyes around. "Where's the marketing manager?"<br /> "S-She's still trying to convince Miss Chen, Miss Monroe."<br /> I massaged my forehead and squeezed my eyes closed. I grabbed my hair and screamed in so much anger. I felt everyone around me jump in shock. I groaned and sucked my breath before looking around.<br /> "Miss Monroe..."<br /> "What is this, Miss Hayley? You are the marketing manager, what is happening?"<br /> "Miss Monroe, I don't know how it happened but Miss Chen heard that you are changing our model.<br /> She's about to file a case against us-"<br /> Changing the model? How come I didn't know about this? Miss Chen had always been our trustful partner and if not necessary, changing models for a commercial shoot on short notice would only cause a lot of trouble for the company.<br /> I would never allow such a cheap mistake.<br /> "I never asked for that. You must be mistaken."I cut her words to save time, " Fix this mess or I have to fire you!"<br /> "Miss Monroe...It's Mr. President who asked us to change it." Hayley spoke hesitantly. "He ordered that as soon as he came back from his business trip yesterday."<br /> I was hit by the truth. Pierce's order? Why didn't he tell me? He used to discuss every major decision with me first.<br /> "It shouldn't be..." I was confused. Pierce was not a clueless businessman. He kept a clear distinction between work and relationships, which was why he always succeeded. And that was also why he chose to keep our marriage a secret.<br /> "Yes, Kelly. I gave the order." The voice pulled me back.<br /> "M-Mr. President..." Hayley bowed with respect as she saw the man who suddenly appeared behind me.<br /> "I think you owe me an explanation, Pierce. About changing the model!" I gritted as I turned around to question him.<br /> He knew clearly how much effort I put into winning this project. I hardly had a good sleep those days and Miss Chen was the ideal one for us to work with. I remembered he agreed on it too.<br /> But now...he just changed the model as he liked without telling me in advance. I felt like a hard slap on my face.<br /> "Go ahead for the work. I'll make it clear to her."<br /> He pacified the staff first, ignoring the anger that was about to spew out of my eyes.<br /> "Answer me, Pierce! Why do you change the model so suddenly?" I couldn't hold my anger and he just touched my shoulder whispering to me,"This is not the place to talk. Let me explain it to you in the car."<br /> I looked around to notice others sneaking glances at us. Then I shook away his hands and walked toward the parking lot. But along the way, my heart was heavier and heavier. I had a feeling that I was not going to enjoy his explanation.<br /> "Now, say it." I blurted it out as we sat in his car.<br /> He stared into my eyes as if weighing my emotions. I looked away again. I couldn't stand his stares. I couldn't withstand his eyes that never looked at me the way I wanted him to look at me.<br /> He has no feelings for me and it hurts so much.<br /> "I-I..." he paused and sighed. "I replaced Miss Chen because Lexi wants to be our model. She's also fit to be our model so I agreed-"<br /> "What?" I asked in disbelief.<br /> He pressed his lips together and looked away. He messed his hair up before he shook his head and held my hand.<br /> "I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. It was just so sudden. She asked for a favor and I can't say no."<br /> I took my hand back and looked at him in both pain and anger. "You can't say no to her so you'd rather harm the company, our company. You betrayed me, Pierce."<br /> "Kels, come on. You know how much I love her.<br /> She's my first love."<br /> Painfully, I closed my eyes. Oh yes, she's your first love. She's always the one you want no matter what it takes. As long as she frowned a bit, you could turn a blind eye to the pain and effort of others. You are so heartless, Pierce.<br /> "Well, you've decided. I don't have a say in this since you're the President. Just go. I'll be in the office." I said coldly as I opened the car door to walk out.<br /> "Kelly..."<br /> I looked him in the eyes. "Go home early. Let's talk about our divorce at home tonight."

"Kelly.Did you see me smooching her or drilling her? I won't go intimate with her as long as you're carrying my name-"<br /> "I promise that I will be happy, Pierce. Without you by my side." I mocked.<br /> Your baby needs a strong mommy. <br /> I won't stay in this inferno long. I hope that bimbo falls into a manhole soon.<br /> ————————<br /> Kelly's POV<br /> Was it a blessing to marry your best friend?<br /> I was not very sure what Pierce thought but marrying him was a dream come true for me. And now what was more exciting, we were going to welcome our first child.<br /> "It's a good thing you're cautious. You could've lost your baby, Miss Monroe." The GYN told me seriously as she could see the shock in my eyes.<br /> I subconsciously touched my belly, and still couldn't believe a baby was lying there. Had I heard it right? I was pregnant? I was pregnant with a baby for Pierce! My best friend and my first crush!<br /> On the way out of the hospital, I couldn't wait to tell Pierce about our baby. I wondered what his reaction would be. Would he scream in happiness? Would he smooch me and all? God! I couldn't contain my happiness.<br /> I cupped my red face as I fantasized. But the moment I felt the cold from the simple ring on my finger, my wildly beating heart calmed down. I almost forgot that Pierce wasn't the type to be keen on having children, especially when our marriage was arranged by his family.<br /> Pierce was a complete gentleman, both as a friend and a husband. Every time we had intercourse, he was considerate but cautious, saying there was no need to add extra shackles when we were not ready.<br /> This baby, in a way, was out of plan.<br /> My mind was becoming restless as I sat in my car. Would this be good news for him? What if Pierce was still not ready for the baby?<br /> "Ma'am, is everything okay? Do you need to call the Boss?" My private driver Luke asked worriedly as he noticed my frown face. Luke was reliable like a family but if I chose to share, I still wanted Pierce to be the first to know this news. He's my baby's father.<br /> "No," I shook my head, giving Luke a reassuring smile. "He's on the flight. I'll talk to him later myself." So that I could sense his answer directly from his raw expressions. I was always good at that.<br /> I closed my eyes recalling the first day we met.<br /> His bright smile in the sunlight was so dazzling, he was a Prince. Long before we became best friends, I fell in love with him at first sight. But it was only an unrequited love, I knew it well.<br /> I slid down the car window to get some fresh air but accidentally caught a glimpse of our old high school. That bitter feeling filled my chest once again. Pierce is my first love but I'm not his.<br /> In high school, I was only a boring nerd in other's eyes while Pierce Anderson was the shining Quarterback. Everyone was surprised that we could be friends. Though enmity rose, I enjoyed being around him. I slowly realized that I didn't want just to be his friend.<br /> However, right when I was about to confess my feelings to him, another girl came into his life.<br /> I shook my head trying to get rid of those sad old memories. I gripped the cold wedding ring on my finger, telling myself the past was past. Pierce said they were over and I was his wife now. I was his wife who was carrying his baby now.<br /> our own hands. We enjoyed it. Yes, I must have I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes and opened the door to our house. My heart calmed down as I breathed in the scent of home. Our home. It wasn't as luxurious as his family's villa but cozy. Pierce and I decorated it together with been overthinking. That woman had been out of our lives for a long time and my marriage with Pierce was as beautiful as a fairy tale for the past three years.<br /> I glanced at the clock on the wall. At this point,Pierce should have gotten off the plane. He was over a month of traveling for the sake of our family's business. Pierce was the President of ADE, the leading fashion magazine company all over Asia, and I was actually the Vice President of the company. We were not only life partners but also good partners at work.<br /> I really missed him. I dialed his number immediately. I really wanted to hear his voice now,to know when he would arrive home. I would prepare a good meal for him and he would prize me with a sweet smooch. And then we might have passionate intercourse like what he gave me the night before his business trip. Oops, I almost forgot I was pregnant now. I needed to tell him this first and then we could do something else instead.<br /> I was happily envisioning our lovely reunion and my heart dropped when a woman's voice came over the line.<br /> [Hello?]<br /> I snapped the phone as just one word came out.<br /> My phone fell to the floor and my body started shaking uncontrollably. NO! It couldn't be her! It couldn't be Lexi! She was already out of our life! I must have misheard.<br /> I rushed to the fridge in an attempt to calm myself with the aid of some beverage. But the moment I touched the bottle, I was reminded of the doctor's words and my baby. I needed to be cautious for my baby's sake. I turned to get a box of milk and walked toward the sofa.<br /> I didn't know what made me recognize that as Lexi's voice at that moment. I meant Lexi and I were never close. Lexi Gilbert was a typical blonde beauty that men would go crazy for. She was the popular cheerleader in high school while<br /> Pierce was the star quarterback. Better match than he and a nerd like me, right? It wasn't surprising that he had fallen for her.<br /> My pride couldn't stand watching the man I loved go crazy for another woman. So I had once tried to stay away from them silently but Pierce refused to quit from my life. Every time I drowned myself in a sea of books and studies to forget them,Pierce would appear at my doorway asking me out. I couldn't say no to his charming smile;I couldn't say no when he claimed it was his duty as my best friend to take me to enjoy the real world.<br /> To not ruin our friendship, I could only hide my broken heart, silently playing the role of his best friend by his side and watching his happy face for another girl. I finally got up the courage to study abroad as I learned that Pierce was planning to propose to Lexi. However, I never expected Grams would call to beg me back.<br /> I returned in a hurry only to see a lifeless Pierce.<br /> His heart was harmed badly, by Lexi. My beloved sunshine boy was nowhere to be seen, and my heart was bleeding. I started to hate Lexi from that moment. I gave up my cherished man to her,and how dared she harm him so badly! That witch!<br /> Pierce didn't tell anyone what happened except he was over with Lexi. Grams arranged our marriage.<br /> I didn't understand why he agreed until the day I heard him say that marrying anyone but Lexi would be the same for him.<br /> It was so fcking hurt but I still walked into this marriage without a second thought. My cherished boy was broken and I wanted to fix him, not caring if I would ruin myself in the process.<br /> I fell asleep at home feeling so insecure and worried. I woke up in the middle of the night when I felt someone caressing my cheek.<br /> Slowly, I opened my eyes and I realized I had fallen asleep in the living area.<br /> Someone lifted me from the couch. I immediately recognized his scent and touch as I looked at him with heavy-lidded eyes.<br /> "Peirce….."<br /> "Hmm," he hummed as he walked towards the stairs. "Why did you sleep on the couch?"<br /> I stared at his face when he gently put me down on the bed. He caressed my hair and smooched my forehead. He was always so gentle and that was why I loved him so much. Even when making love,he was very considerate of my feelings. We'd been apart for over a month, my body missed him and my heart wanted him.<br /> "Where have you been? I've been waiting for you," I said as I caressed his cheek.<br /> "Just met a friend. You said you were waiting for me, is it something urgent?"<br /> Looking at his gentle face, suddenly I didn't want to ruin the moment. so I closed my parted lips and swallowed the truth back in my stomach once again. Tomorrow, maybe tomorrow, I will have the courage to face all the puzzles.<br /> I shook my head and pouted, telling him that I was sleepy. He chuckled and carefully carried me to the bed. The moment he was about to leave me after giving me a goodnight smooch, I panicked for some reason. I then quickly grabbed him and smooched him with all my passion, trying to undress him, trying to make him touch me more and deeper. I missed him. I wanted him. I felt that the only way I could feel at ease was to let him put himself inside me again. To make sure he was still mine.<br /> "Wait Kels," Yet he stopped me by pinning my crazy hands on the bed. "I thought you said you're sleepy and you need to rest."<br /> "But I think I miss you more now." I looked at him with innocence and I could catch desire flashing in his eyes but I didn't know why it faded soon. He used to be happy when I became the initiative one.<br /> As if noticing my confusion, he chuckled and playfully pinched my nose, "I'll just take a shower.<br /> I smell beverage."<br /> I just nodded and watched him as he walked toward the bathroom. But drowsiness struck again so I closed my eyes to take a nap. However,it was already morning when I opened my eyes again and Pierce was beside me, putting a tray of food on the bedside table.<br /> "Hey!" I greeted and smiled when I realized what he'd done. He prepared breakfast for me. In bed.<br /> The sweetest.<br /> He smiled and sat on the bed. "Good morning."<br /> I grinned as I sat on the bed. He carried the tray and put it beside me. I shot an eyebrow up and tilted my head as I stared at his handsome face.<br /> His eyes are deep brown. His eyebrows were thick and black, complimenting his beautiful eyes. His nose was proud and pointed and his lips were red and thin. He literally looks like a seductive bad boy.<br /> Even Damon Salvatore would be embarrassed to stand beside him. No one stands a chance against this man.<br /> "What is this? Is this a bribe? You stood me up last night, bad boy."<br /> He didn't laugh. He heaved a sigh and gently tucked my hair on my ears before he held my hand and stared into my eyes. "I have something to tell you."<br /> I felt my heart race. I thought about our baby in my womb. He's got something to tell. I have something to tell him too.<br /> "W-What is it?" I asked as I felt my voice tremble.<br /> He took a deep sigh. "You know you're important to me, right?"<br /> I slowly nodded with parted lips. I couldn't answer. I'm scared of what he's about to say. I have a bad feeling about this.<br /> "You were my best friend before we got married.<br /> You are one of the few people I treasure..."<br /> I hid my balled fists under the sheet. I don't know why he's telling me all this but I felt tears pooling in the corner of my eyes already.<br /> "Kelly..." he paused and squeezed his eyes closed before he looked at me again in the eyes. "I-I think it's time for us to divorce."<br /> "P-Pierce..." I felt my heart clench.<br /> He smiled. "I know you don't have feelings for me either. You just married me because of my grandparents. You just did this because you love them. Now it's time for our real happiness, Kelly."<br /> I shook my head, "W-What are you talking about, Pierce?"<br /> "Lexi is back, Kelly. My first love is back."<br /> -<br /> Kelly's POV<br /> I got off the bed and tried to leave but Pierce grabbed my hand. I immediately wiped the tears that rolled down my cheeks before he could see them. He stood in front of me and looked at my face as I tried so hard to look down and avoid his eyes.<br /> I felt my heart breaking into pieces. I thought...I thought I could make him fall in love with me within those three years together. I thought his feelings would level up and would see me as a woman rather than just a best friend. I was stupid for hoping and dreaming so high.<br /> I failed. No matter how hard I tried, his heart belonged only to his first love Lexi.<br /> "Kelly..."<br /> I sucked my breath and swallowed the pain as I looked at him. I faked a smile, "I need to wash up before eating."<br /> He stared into my eyes as if trying to figure out what I was thinking. I know he knew me too well so I tried so hard to hide my pain and smiled at him.<br /> He sighed and let go of my hand. "Okay. I'll wait for you here. Let's eat and go to work together."<br /> Together? How cruel could he be? He still wanted us to get along like he didn't ask for a divorce? He wanted us to stay the way we were right after he told me that his first love was back and he wanted to divorce me?<br /> Oh Pierce, what was going on in your head?<br /> If I used to be able to force myself to stay in the seat of his best friend wishing him happiness, I no longer had that courage after the three years we'd shared. There's no way I could endure that kind of torture again, especially when I'm carrying his baby.<br /> The baby...I had thought it was good news for us but now...it would be more like a burden to him, I guess. A burden that would prevent him from getting his true love and freedom.<br /> I knew how an unwanted child to grow up. My parents were divorced even before my mother died and the new family of my father hated me and it hurts like inferno. I don't want my baby to experience the same thing I felt. I need to keep my baby away from it.<br /> I faked a smile again. "We can't. I need to visit the studio for the photoshoot of our new models.."<br /> "I'll go with you-"<br /> "No." I pushed his hand. His eyes followed my hand before he lifted his face to look at me again.<br /> "You have some documents to sign. Our schedules are already organized, remember?"<br /> "But.."<br /> "I have a personal driver, Pierce. I'll be fine to go alone."<br /> He sighed and slowly nodded. I turned my back on him and entered the bathroom. I immediately opened the shower and stood under the cold water. Tears cascaded down my cheeks as I covered my mouth to suppress my sobs.<br /> My shoulders were trembling really badly and when I thought about my baby, I swallowed hard and tried to calm myself down. I wiped my face and caressed my belly. I need to be strong. I need to stay calm. I shouldn't put my baby's life on the line just because I got my heart broken. I have to deal with this smartly.<br /> I sucked my breath and finished my bath. When I got out of the bathroom, I was shocked to see Pierce was still there. He was struggling to fix his tie in front of the full-length mirror. I also noticed my pair of heels and dress on the bed.<br /> "Hey! I picked your dress for today."<br /> Since our marriage wasn't public, Pierce said he would try to do little things for me as a husband.<br /> He did it well and I used to enjoy these sweet moments but now, it was going to kill me.<br /> I grabbed the dress and went inside the walk-in closet. I felt him following me. I put the white dress back and picked a red one. When I faced him , his forehead was creased.<br /> I smiled. "I prefer red today. I'd feel beautiful in this dress."<br /> His eyes went to the dress I was holding and his face immediately calmed down. He nodded and walked towards me.<br /> "I see. Help me fix this first."<br /> I put my dress on his arm and started fixing his tie. I could feel his eyes staring intently and it was making my heart beat so fast. I took a deep breath and chewed my bottom lip as I struggled to fix the tie. My vision is becoming blurry again.<br /> -<br /> "Kelly..."<br /> I jumped in shock. "Hmm?”<br /> "Are you okay?"<br /> I looked at him and smiled, "Yeah."<br /> "I have another thing to say."<br /> ? finished fixing his tie so I immediately grabbed the dress from him. I glanced at him before I other time. I'm going to be late."<br /> walked past him and spoke.. "Let's just talk some I heard him sigh as he followed me again. I grabbed my underwear and got dressed while he was standing behind me. He's silent the whole time as if he's thinking about something.<br /> "You should eat before you leave."<br /> I faced him and nodded. "I will. You should go now."<br /> "Kelly, we're on the same page, right?"<br /> I stared at him. No, Pierce. We're never on the same page. All of these are just my stupid fantasies. I thought you had feelings for me and I was so wrong.<br /> "If it's about the divorce, I understand everything,Pierce. I know what I have to do. Just give me some time because I'm really busy with the company. I will not run away."<br /> "Kelly, I'm not just doing this for myself. I'm also doing this for you. You've been caged with me ever since we got married. I know you're not happy because deep inside, you also want to find the man you deserve. Someone who will really love you. Not me. Not someone who's half-hearted."<br /> "I understand what you're trying to say, Pierce," I said and tried to turn my back but he held me by the waist, keeping me in place.<br /> He did everything to capture my eyes and he succeeded. He looked at me worriedly. "You are my best friend. I don't wanna lose you, Kels.<br /> You're one of my few people..."<br /> "I know," I said out of frustration. He looked shocked, so I calmed myself down. "I-I know. You don't have to worry. I'm just stressed about work.<br /> It's not about our divorce."<br /> His lips parted and he slowly nodded as if he was able to breathe properly. He walked towards me and I froze when he gently smooched my forehead...<br /> "Thank you, Kelly," he whispered. My heart clenched. It had been three years but I was still such a coward. Why couldn't you just tell him that you love him, Kelly? He's your husband and you're carrying his baby! Tell him and he might change his mind!<br /> I swallowed hard and was about to tell him but his phone rang. I didn't miss the caller ID. Again, it was Lexi.<br /> called Luke and he's waiting outside. Eat before "? gotta go." He scratched his head in apology and I didn't miss the upturned corners of his mouth. "I you go, okay?"<br /> With that, he left our room. The tears I had managed to suppress burst out again. Why would I think I could have a chance? He made his choice already the moment he asked for the divorce, didn't he?<br /> Whenever it came to Lexi, I was always the one he would abandon.<br /> -<br /> Kelly's POV<br /> I entered the studio wearing just two-inch red heels and a red dress. Everyone was looking my way as I walked along the hallway. They're all greeting me with a smile but my face remains stoic, not showing any emotions at all.<br /> The conversation with Pierce this morning was still lingering in my head, but I couldn't let it affect my work.<br /> I couldn't fail my work after I failed my marriage.<br /> I took a deep breath to adjust my condition.<br /> However, when I entered the photoshoot room, I could notice everyone was in chaos.<br /> "We can't! She's not answering her calls. What should we do? The Vice President is coming today. She'd get mad."<br /> "We can just tell her the truth. She's nice."<br /> "Not in this situation, Lily! She'd scold us-”<br /> "What's happening here?" I asked as I graced the room.<br /> The staff were now looking at me with worried expressions and I knew then that there was a problem.<br /> "G-Good morning, Miss Monroe."<br /> Miss Monroe. Of course, no one knew that Pierce and I were married except for our families. I felt a pinch in my heart because of that truth. It hurts.<br /> I stared at her blankly, "What?"<br /> "W-We have a problem, Miss Monroe. Miss Chen,our model has been refusing our calls. She said she heard that we're changing our model so.she doesn't want to come here. She's even...<br /> threatening to file a case against us."<br /> She bowed his head. I gritted my teeth and roamed my eyes around. "Where's the marketing manager?"<br /> "S-She's still trying to convince Miss Chen, Miss Monroe."<br /> I massaged my forehead and squeezed my eyes closed. I grabbed my hair and screamed in so much anger. I felt everyone around me jump in shock. I groaned and sucked my breath before looking around.<br /> "Miss Monroe..."<br /> "What is this, Miss Hayley? You are the marketing manager, what is happening?"<br /> "Miss Monroe, I don't know how it happened but Miss Chen heard that you are changing our model.<br /> She's about to file a case against us-"<br /> Changing the model? How come I didn't know about this? Miss Chen had always been our trustful partner and if not necessary, changing models for a commercial shoot on short notice would only cause a lot of trouble for the company.<br /> I would never allow such a cheap mistake.<br /> "I never asked for that. You must be mistaken."I cut her words to save time, " Fix this mess or I have to fire you!"<br /> "Miss Monroe...It's Mr. President who asked us to change it." Hayley spoke hesitantly. "He ordered that as soon as he came back from his business trip yesterday."<br /> I was hit by the truth. Pierce's order? Why didn't he tell me? He used to discuss every major decision with me first.<br /> "It shouldn't be..." I was confused. Pierce was not a clueless businessman. He kept a clear distinction between work and relationships, which was why he always succeeded. And that was also why he chose to keep our marriage a secret.<br /> "Yes, Kelly. I gave the order." The voice pulled me back.<br /> "M-Mr. President..." Hayley bowed with respect as she saw the man who suddenly appeared behind me.<br /> "I think you owe me an explanation, Pierce. About changing the model!" I gritted as I turned around to question him.<br /> He knew clearly how much effort I put into winning this project. I hardly had a good sleep those days and Miss Chen was the ideal one for us to work with. I remembered he agreed on it too.<br /> But now...he just changed the model as he liked without telling me in advance. I felt like a hard slap on my face.<br /> "Go ahead for the work. I'll make it clear to her."<br /> He pacified the staff first, ignoring the anger that was about to spew out of my eyes.<br /> "Answer me, Pierce! Why do you change the model so suddenly?" I couldn't hold my anger and he just touched my shoulder whispering to me,"This is not the place to talk. Let me explain it to you in the car."<br /> I looked around to notice others sneaking glances at us. Then I shook away his hands and walked toward the parking lot. But along the way, my heart was heavier and heavier. I had a feeling that I was not going to enjoy his explanation.<br /> "Now, say it." I blurted it out as we sat in his car.<br /> He stared into my eyes as if weighing my emotions. I looked away again. I couldn't stand his stares. I couldn't withstand his eyes that never looked at me the way I wanted him to look at me.<br /> He has no feelings for me and it hurts so much.<br /> "I-I..." he paused and sighed. "I replaced Miss Chen because Lexi wants to be our model. She's also fit to be our model so I agreed-"<br /> "What?" I asked in disbelief.<br /> He pressed his lips together and looked away. He messed his hair up before he shook his head and held my hand.<br /> "I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. It was just so sudden. She asked for a favor and I can't say no."<br /> I took my hand back and looked at him in both pain and anger. "You can't say no to her so you'd rather harm the company, our company. You betrayed me, Pierce."<br /> "Kels, come on. You know how much I love her.<br /> She's my first love."<br /> Painfully, I closed my eyes. Oh yes, she's your first love. She's always the one you want no matter what it takes. As long as she frowned a bit, you could turn a blind eye to the pain and effort of others. You are so heartless, Pierce.<br /> "Well, you've decided. I don't have a say in this since you're the President. Just go. I'll be in the office." I said coldly as I opened the car door to walk out.<br /> "Kelly..."<br /> I looked him in the eyes. "Go home early. Let's talk about our divorce at home tonight."

That's what happened when you you continue on the wrong path. <br /> Taking a deep breath, "We are over. let's get a divorce!" I said.<br /> His forehead creased. "Kelly.Did you see me smooching her or drilling her? I won't go intimate with her as long as you're carrying my name-"<br /> "I promise that I will be happy, Pierce. Without you by my side." I mocked.<br /> Your baby needs a strong mommy. <br /> I won't stay in this inferno long. I hope that bimbo falls into a manhole soon.<br /> ————————<br /> Kelly's POV<br /> Was it a blessing to marry your best friend?<br /> I was not very sure what Pierce thought but marrying him was a dream come true for me. And now what was more exciting, we were going to welcome our first child.<br /> "It's a good thing you're cautious. You could've lost your baby, Miss Monroe." The GYN told me seriously as she could see the shock in my eyes.<br /> I subconsciously touched my belly, and still couldn't believe a baby was lying there. Had I heard it right? I was pregnant? I was pregnant with a baby for Pierce! My best friend and my first crush!<br /> On the way out of the hospital, I couldn't wait to tell Pierce about our baby. I wondered what his reaction would be. Would he scream in happiness? Would he smooch me and all? God! I couldn't contain my happiness.<br /> I cupped my red face as I fantasized. But the moment I felt the cold from the simple ring on my finger, my wildly beating heart calmed down. I almost forgot that Pierce wasn't the type to be keen on having children, especially when our marriage was arranged by his family.<br /> Pierce was a complete gentleman, both as a friend and a husband. Every time we had intercourse, he was considerate but cautious, saying there was no need to add extra shackles when we were not ready.<br /> This baby, in a way, was out of plan.<br /> My mind was becoming restless as I sat in my car. Would this be good news for him? What if Pierce was still not ready for the baby?<br /> "Ma'am, is everything okay? Do you need to call the Boss?" My private driver Luke asked worriedly as he noticed my frown face. Luke was reliable like a family but if I chose to share, I still wanted Pierce to be the first to know this news. He's my baby's father.<br /> "No," I shook my head, giving Luke a reassuring smile. "He's on the flight. I'll talk to him later myself." So that I could sense his answer directly from his raw expressions. I was always good at that.<br /> I closed my eyes recalling the first day we met.<br /> His bright smile in the sunlight was so dazzling, he was a Prince. Long before we became best friends, I fell in love with him at first sight. But it was only an unrequited love, I knew it well.<br /> I slid down the car window to get some fresh air but accidentally caught a glimpse of our old high school. That bitter feeling filled my chest once again. Pierce is my first love but I'm not his.<br /> In high school, I was only a boring nerd in other's eyes while Pierce Anderson was the shining Quarterback. Everyone was surprised that we could be friends. Though enmity rose, I enjoyed being around him. I slowly realized that I didn't want just to be his friend.<br /> However, right when I was about to confess my feelings to him, another girl came into his life.<br /> I shook my head trying to get rid of those sad old memories. I gripped the cold wedding ring on my finger, telling myself the past was past. Pierce said they were over and I was his wife now. I was his wife who was carrying his baby now.<br /> our own hands. We enjoyed it. Yes, I must have I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes and opened the door to our house. My heart calmed down as I breathed in the scent of home. Our home. It wasn't as luxurious as his family's villa but cozy. Pierce and I decorated it together with been overthinking. That woman had been out of our lives for a long time and my marriage with Pierce was as beautiful as a fairy tale for the past three years.<br /> I glanced at the clock on the wall. At this point,Pierce should have gotten off the plane. He was over a month of traveling for the sake of our family's business. Pierce was the President of ADE, the leading fashion magazine company all over Asia, and I was actually the Vice President of the company. We were not only life partners but also good partners at work.<br /> I really missed him. I dialed his number immediately. I really wanted to hear his voice now,to know when he would arrive home. I would prepare a good meal for him and he would prize me with a sweet smooch. And then we might have passionate intercourse like what he gave me the night before his business trip. Oops, I almost forgot I was pregnant now. I needed to tell him this first and then we could do something else instead.<br /> I was happily envisioning our lovely reunion and my heart dropped when a woman's voice came over the line.<br /> [Hello?]<br /> I snapped the phone as just one word came out.<br /> My phone fell to the floor and my body started shaking uncontrollably. NO! It couldn't be her! It couldn't be Lexi! She was already out of our life! I must have misheard.<br /> I rushed to the fridge in an attempt to calm myself with the aid of some beverage. But the moment I touched the bottle, I was reminded of the doctor's words and my baby. I needed to be cautious for my baby's sake. I turned to get a box of milk and walked toward the sofa.<br /> I didn't know what made me recognize that as Lexi's voice at that moment. I meant Lexi and I were never close. Lexi Gilbert was a typical blonde beauty that men would go crazy for. She was the popular cheerleader in high school while<br /> Pierce was the star quarterback. Better match than he and a nerd like me, right? It wasn't surprising that he had fallen for her.<br /> My pride couldn't stand watching the man I loved go crazy for another woman. So I had once tried to stay away from them silently but Pierce refused to quit from my life. Every time I drowned myself in a sea of books and studies to forget them,Pierce would appear at my doorway asking me out. I couldn't say no to his charming smile;I couldn't say no when he claimed it was his duty as my best friend to take me to enjoy the real world.<br /> To not ruin our friendship, I could only hide my broken heart, silently playing the role of his best friend by his side and watching his happy face for another girl. I finally got up the courage to study abroad as I learned that Pierce was planning to propose to Lexi. However, I never expected Grams would call to beg me back.<br /> I returned in a hurry only to see a lifeless Pierce.<br /> His heart was harmed badly, by Lexi. My beloved sunshine boy was nowhere to be seen, and my heart was bleeding. I started to hate Lexi from that moment. I gave up my cherished man to her,and how dared she harm him so badly! That witch!<br /> Pierce didn't tell anyone what happened except he was over with Lexi. Grams arranged our marriage.<br /> I didn't understand why he agreed until the day I heard him say that marrying anyone but Lexi would be the same for him.<br /> It was so fcking hurt but I still walked into this marriage without a second thought. My cherished boy was broken and I wanted to fix him, not caring if I would ruin myself in the process.<br /> I fell asleep at home feeling so insecure and worried. I woke up in the middle of the night when I felt someone caressing my cheek.<br /> Slowly, I opened my eyes and I realized I had fallen asleep in the living area.<br /> Someone lifted me from the couch. I immediately recognized his scent and touch as I looked at him with heavy-lidded eyes.<br /> "Peirce….."<br /> "Hmm," he hummed as he walked towards the stairs. "Why did you sleep on the couch?"<br /> I stared at his face when he gently put me down on the bed. He caressed my hair and smooched my forehead. He was always so gentle and that was why I loved him so much. Even when making love,he was very considerate of my feelings. We'd been apart for over a month, my body missed him and my heart wanted him.<br /> "Where have you been? I've been waiting for you," I said as I caressed his cheek.<br /> "Just met a friend. You said you were waiting for me, is it something urgent?"<br /> Looking at his gentle face, suddenly I didn't want to ruin the moment. so I closed my parted lips and swallowed the truth back in my stomach once again. Tomorrow, maybe tomorrow, I will have the courage to face all the puzzles.<br /> I shook my head and pouted, telling him that I was sleepy. He chuckled and carefully carried me to the bed. The moment he was about to leave me after giving me a goodnight smooch, I panicked for some reason. I then quickly grabbed him and smooched him with all my passion, trying to undress him, trying to make him touch me more and deeper. I missed him. I wanted him. I felt that the only way I could feel at ease was to let him put himself inside me again. To make sure he was still mine.<br /> "Wait Kels," Yet he stopped me by pinning my crazy hands on the bed. "I thought you said you're sleepy and you need to rest."<br /> "But I think I miss you more now." I looked at him with innocence and I could catch desire flashing in his eyes but I didn't know why it faded soon. He used to be happy when I became the initiative one.<br /> As if noticing my confusion, he chuckled and playfully pinched my nose, "I'll just take a shower.<br /> I smell beverage."<br /> I just nodded and watched him as he walked toward the bathroom. But drowsiness struck again so I closed my eyes to take a nap. However,it was already morning when I opened my eyes again and Pierce was beside me, putting a tray of food on the bedside table.<br /> "Hey!" I greeted and smiled when I realized what he'd done. He prepared breakfast for me. In bed.<br /> The sweetest.<br /> He smiled and sat on the bed. "Good morning."<br /> I grinned as I sat on the bed. He carried the tray and put it beside me. I shot an eyebrow up and tilted my head as I stared at his handsome face.<br /> His eyes are deep brown. His eyebrows were thick and black, complimenting his beautiful eyes. His nose was proud and pointed and his lips were red and thin. He literally looks like a seductive bad boy.<br /> Even Damon Salvatore would be embarrassed to stand beside him. No one stands a chance against this man.<br /> "What is this? Is this a bribe? You stood me up last night, bad boy."<br /> He didn't laugh. He heaved a sigh and gently tucked my hair on my ears before he held my hand and stared into my eyes. "I have something to tell you."<br /> I felt my heart race. I thought about our baby in my womb. He's got something to tell. I have something to tell him too.<br /> "W-What is it?" I asked as I felt my voice tremble.<br /> He took a deep sigh. "You know you're important to me, right?"<br /> I slowly nodded with parted lips. I couldn't answer. I'm scared of what he's about to say. I have a bad feeling about this.<br /> "You were my best friend before we got married.<br /> You are one of the few people I treasure..."<br /> I hid my balled fists under the sheet. I don't know why he's telling me all this but I felt tears pooling in the corner of my eyes already.<br /> "Kelly..." he paused and squeezed his eyes closed before he looked at me again in the eyes. "I-I think it's time for us to divorce."<br /> "P-Pierce..." I felt my heart clench.<br /> He smiled. "I know you don't have feelings for me either. You just married me because of my grandparents. You just did this because you love them. Now it's time for our real happiness, Kelly."<br /> I shook my head, "W-What are you talking about, Pierce?"<br /> "Lexi is back, Kelly. My first love is back."<br /> -<br /> Kelly's POV<br /> I got off the bed and tried to leave but Pierce grabbed my hand. I immediately wiped the tears that rolled down my cheeks before he could see them. He stood in front of me and looked at my face as I tried so hard to look down and avoid his eyes.<br /> I felt my heart breaking into pieces. I thought...I thought I could make him fall in love with me within those three years together. I thought his feelings would level up and would see me as a woman rather than just a best friend. I was stupid for hoping and dreaming so high.<br /> I failed. No matter how hard I tried, his heart belonged only to his first love Lexi.<br /> "Kelly..."<br /> I sucked my breath and swallowed the pain as I looked at him. I faked a smile, "I need to wash up before eating."<br /> He stared into my eyes as if trying to figure out what I was thinking. I know he knew me too well so I tried so hard to hide my pain and smiled at him.<br /> He sighed and let go of my hand. "Okay. I'll wait for you here. Let's eat and go to work together."<br /> Together? How cruel could he be? He still wanted us to get along like he didn't ask for a divorce? He wanted us to stay the way we were right after he told me that his first love was back and he wanted to divorce me?<br /> Oh Pierce, what was going on in your head?<br /> If I used to be able to force myself to stay in the seat of his best friend wishing him happiness, I no longer had that courage after the three years we'd shared. There's no way I could endure that kind of torture again, especially when I'm carrying his baby.<br /> The baby...I had thought it was good news for us but now...it would be more like a burden to him, I guess. A burden that would prevent him from getting his true love and freedom.<br /> I knew how an unwanted child to grow up. My parents were divorced even before my mother died and the new family of my father hated me and it hurts like inferno. I don't want my baby to experience the same thing I felt. I need to keep my baby away from it.<br /> I faked a smile again. "We can't. I need to visit the studio for the photoshoot of our new models.."<br /> "I'll go with you-"<br /> "No." I pushed his hand. His eyes followed my hand before he lifted his face to look at me again.<br /> "You have some documents to sign. Our schedules are already organized, remember?"<br /> "But.."<br /> "I have a personal driver, Pierce. I'll be fine to go alone."<br /> He sighed and slowly nodded. I turned my back on him and entered the bathroom. I immediately opened the shower and stood under the cold water. Tears cascaded down my cheeks as I covered my mouth to suppress my sobs.<br /> My shoulders were trembling really badly and when I thought about my baby, I swallowed hard and tried to calm myself down. I wiped my face and caressed my belly. I need to be strong. I need to stay calm. I shouldn't put my baby's life on the line just because I got my heart broken. I have to deal with this smartly.<br /> I sucked my breath and finished my bath. When I got out of the bathroom, I was shocked to see Pierce was still there. He was struggling to fix his tie in front of the full-length mirror. I also noticed my pair of heels and dress on the bed.<br /> "Hey! I picked your dress for today."<br /> Since our marriage wasn't public, Pierce said he would try to do little things for me as a husband.<br /> He did it well and I used to enjoy these sweet moments but now, it was going to kill me.<br /> I grabbed the dress and went inside the walk-in closet. I felt him following me. I put the white dress back and picked a red one. When I faced him , his forehead was creased.<br /> I smiled. "I prefer red today. I'd feel beautiful in this dress."<br /> His eyes went to the dress I was holding and his face immediately calmed down. He nodded and walked towards me.<br /> "I see. Help me fix this first."<br /> I put my dress on his arm and started fixing his tie. I could feel his eyes staring intently and it was making my heart beat so fast. I took a deep breath and chewed my bottom lip as I struggled to fix the tie. My vision is becoming blurry again.<br /> -<br /> "Kelly..."<br /> I jumped in shock. "Hmm?”<br /> "Are you okay?"<br /> I looked at him and smiled, "Yeah."<br /> "I have another thing to say."<br /> ? finished fixing his tie so I immediately grabbed the dress from him. I glanced at him before I other time. I'm going to be late."<br /> walked past him and spoke.. "Let's just talk some I heard him sigh as he followed me again. I grabbed my underwear and got dressed while he was standing behind me. He's silent the whole time as if he's thinking about something.<br /> "You should eat before you leave."<br /> I faced him and nodded. "I will. You should go now."<br /> "Kelly, we're on the same page, right?"<br /> I stared at him. No, Pierce. We're never on the same page. All of these are just my stupid fantasies. I thought you had feelings for me and I was so wrong.<br /> "If it's about the divorce, I understand everything,Pierce. I know what I have to do. Just give me some time because I'm really busy with the company. I will not run away."<br /> "Kelly, I'm not just doing this for myself. I'm also doing this for you. You've been caged with me ever since we got married. I know you're not happy because deep inside, you also want to find the man you deserve. Someone who will really love you. Not me. Not someone who's half-hearted."<br /> "I understand what you're trying to say, Pierce," I said and tried to turn my back but he held me by the waist, keeping me in place.<br /> He did everything to capture my eyes and he succeeded. He looked at me worriedly. "You are my best friend. I don't wanna lose you, Kels.<br /> You're one of my few people..."<br /> "I know," I said out of frustration. He looked shocked, so I calmed myself down. "I-I know. You don't have to worry. I'm just stressed about work.<br /> It's not about our divorce."<br /> His lips parted and he slowly nodded as if he was able to breathe properly. He walked towards me and I froze when he gently smooched my forehead...<br /> "Thank you, Kelly," he whispered. My heart clenched. It had been three years but I was still such a coward. Why couldn't you just tell him that you love him, Kelly? He's your husband and you're carrying his baby! Tell him and he might change his mind!<br /> I swallowed hard and was about to tell him but his phone rang. I didn't miss the caller ID. Again, it was Lexi.<br /> called Luke and he's waiting outside. Eat before "? gotta go." He scratched his head in apology and I didn't miss the upturned corners of his mouth. "I you go, okay?"<br /> With that, he left our room. The tears I had managed to suppress burst out again. Why would I think I could have a chance? He made his choice already the moment he asked for the divorce, didn't he?<br /> Whenever it came to Lexi, I was always the one he would abandon.<br /> -<br /> Kelly's POV<br /> I entered the studio wearing just two-inch red heels and a red dress. Everyone was looking my way as I walked along the hallway. They're all greeting me with a smile but my face remains stoic, not showing any emotions at all.<br /> The conversation with Pierce this morning was still lingering in my head, but I couldn't let it affect my work.<br /> I couldn't fail my work after I failed my marriage.<br /> I took a deep breath to adjust my condition.<br /> However, when I entered the photoshoot room, I could notice everyone was in chaos.<br /> "We can't! She's not answering her calls. What should we do? The Vice President is coming today. She'd get mad."<br /> "We can just tell her the truth. She's nice."<br /> "Not in this situation, Lily! She'd scold us-”<br /> "What's happening here?" I asked as I graced the room.<br /> The staff were now looking at me with worried expressions and I knew then that there was a problem.<br /> "G-Good morning, Miss Monroe."<br /> Miss Monroe. Of course, no one knew that Pierce and I were married except for our families. I felt a pinch in my heart because of that truth. It hurts.<br /> I stared at her blankly, "What?"<br /> "W-We have a problem, Miss Monroe. Miss Chen,our model has been refusing our calls. She said she heard that we're changing our model so.she doesn't want to come here. She's even...<br /> threatening to file a case against us."<br /> She bowed his head. I gritted my teeth and roamed my eyes around. "Where's the marketing manager?"<br /> "S-She's still trying to convince Miss Chen, Miss Monroe."<br /> I massaged my forehead and squeezed my eyes closed. I grabbed my hair and screamed in so much anger. I felt everyone around me jump in shock. I groaned and sucked my breath before looking around.<br /> "Miss Monroe..."<br /> "What is this, Miss Hayley? You are the marketing manager, what is happening?"<br /> "Miss Monroe, I don't know how it happened but Miss Chen heard that you are changing our model.<br /> She's about to file a case against us-"<br /> Changing the model? How come I didn't know about this? Miss Chen had always been our trustful partner and if not necessary, changing models for a commercial shoot on short notice would only cause a lot of trouble for the company.<br /> I would never allow such a cheap mistake.<br /> "I never asked for that. You must be mistaken."I cut her words to save time, " Fix this mess or I have to fire you!"<br /> "Miss Monroe...It's Mr. President who asked us to change it." Hayley spoke hesitantly. "He ordered that as soon as he came back from his business trip yesterday."<br /> I was hit by the truth. Pierce's order? Why didn't he tell me? He used to discuss every major decision with me first.<br /> "It shouldn't be..." I was confused. Pierce was not a clueless businessman. He kept a clear distinction between work and relationships, which was why he always succeeded. And that was also why he chose to keep our marriage a secret.<br /> "Yes, Kelly. I gave the order." The voice pulled me back.<br /> "M-Mr. President..." Hayley bowed with respect as she saw the man who suddenly appeared behind me.<br /> "I think you owe me an explanation, Pierce. About changing the model!" I gritted as I turned around to question him.<br /> He knew clearly how much effort I put into winning this project. I hardly had a good sleep those days and Miss Chen was the ideal one for us to work with. I remembered he agreed on it too.<br /> But now...he just changed the model as he liked without telling me in advance. I felt like a hard slap on my face.<br /> "Go ahead for the work. I'll make it clear to her."<br /> He pacified the staff first, ignoring the anger that was about to spew out of my eyes.<br /> "Answer me, Pierce! Why do you change the model so suddenly?" I couldn't hold my anger and he just touched my shoulder whispering to me,"This is not the place to talk. Let me explain it to you in the car."<br /> I looked around to notice others sneaking glances at us. Then I shook away his hands and walked toward the parking lot. But along the way, my heart was heavier and heavier. I had a feeling that I was not going to enjoy his explanation.<br /> "Now, say it." I blurted it out as we sat in his car.<br /> He stared into my eyes as if weighing my emotions. I looked away again. I couldn't stand his stares. I couldn't withstand his eyes that never looked at me the way I wanted him to look at me.<br /> He has no feelings for me and it hurts so much.<br /> "I-I..." he paused and sighed. "I replaced Miss Chen because Lexi wants to be our model. She's also fit to be our model so I agreed-"<br /> "What?" I asked in disbelief.<br /> He pressed his lips together and looked away. He messed his hair up before he shook his head and held my hand.<br /> "I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. It was just so sudden. She asked for a favor and I can't say no."<br /> I took my hand back and looked at him in both pain and anger. "You can't say no to her so you'd rather harm the company, our company. You betrayed me, Pierce."<br /> "Kels, come on. You know how much I love her.<br /> She's my first love."<br /> Painfully, I closed my eyes. Oh yes, she's your first love. She's always the one you want no matter what it takes. As long as she frowned a bit, you could turn a blind eye to the pain and effort of others. You are so heartless, Pierce.<br /> "Well, you've decided. I don't have a say in this since you're the President. Just go. I'll be in the office." I said coldly as I opened the car door to walk out.<br /> "Kelly..."<br /> I looked him in the eyes. "Go home early. Let's talk about our divorce at home tonight."

I thought he was tired, but he's even more energetic, leaving me exhausted every night.<br /> <br /> Kendall Parker's daughter was dead. <br /> <br /> She was killed by her husband, Jackson Whittle, and her so-called sister, Kelly Parker. <br /> <br /> The baby was only seven months old; she had just learned to sit alone. The baby was fair and chubby like a doll. She was cute and had two small dimples when she smiled. However, they had accidentally killed this adorable child. <br /> <br /> "Kendall, Jackson belongs to me. My son is of his flesh and blood. Your daughter is merely a bstard." <br /> <br /> "I'm sure you didn't expect this, am I right? Jackson has never laid his hands on you. The man that night wasn't Jackson. As for who is the biological father of your daughter, only God knows! She is a bstard who doesn't know who her father is!"<br /> <br /> "Kendall, do you know how your parents died?"<br /> <br /> "I killed them. It was their fault for leaving all the properties of the Parker Family to you. They said that I was their daughter and that they would treat me equally. Yet, in the face of interests, they only thought of you, the daughter with their blood flowing in her." <br /> <br /> "Kendall Parker, go to hell with that love child of yours!"<br /> <br /> "Boo hoo…" <br /> <br /> Kelly's words echoed in her ears. <br /> <br /> The cry of her daughter being thrown to the ground was stabbing her heart. She heard her daughter's cries getting weaker and weaker, which led her to panic and beg them to send her baby to the hospital. Be it the Parker Corporation or Jackson; she didn't care one whit as long as her daughter lived.<br /> <br /> But…<br /> <br /> She had nothing left.<br /> <br /> Kendall walked out of the hospital, step by step, with her daughter's tiny body in her arms.<br /> <br /> It was drizzling outside, and the winter season, alongside the rain, made the already low temperature even lower. <br /> <br /> Although her face was blank and her eyes were hollow, the tears did not stop falling from the corners of her eyes; they fell, drip by drip, without an end. <br /> <br /> The rain slowly seeped through her hair and clothes as the rain fell onto her body. At this point, her heart was numb, and she couldn't feel the cold. Instead, the only thing she was feeling right now was remorse. <br /> <br /> Kendall was the biological daughter of the Parkers who had been exchanged by accident. When they finally reconnected with her four years ago, she became the second daughter of the Parker Family. It turned out that they had developed a bond with the first daughter of the Parker Family, who had lived there for more than 20 years.<br /> <br /> Kendall's parents were reluctant to drive their adopted daughter away. Thus, the two children who had been exchanged at birth stayed with the Parker Family.<br /> <br /> Kendall was already 25 years old when she returned to the Parker Family. Her biological parents were ashamed of her. Once she was accustomed to living in the upper-class society, they wanted to help arrange a good marriage for her. <br /> <br /> At that time, several wealthy families in Orapolis wanted to marry into the Parker Family.<br /> <br /> Even the wealthiest family in Orapolis, the Coleman Family, came to propose. The Coleman Family took a fancy to Kendall, the biological daughter of the Parker Family. <br /> <br /> However, the Young Master of the Coleman Family had gotten into a car accident. He lost his ability to walk, making it even more challenging to approach the already cold and arrogant man. The many women who lined up to ask for the young master's hand in marriage were scared off by him. <br /> <br /> Kendall's parents might have feared offending the Coleman Family and allowed her to make her own decision. <br /> <br /> However, love made her a blind fool as she fell for Jackson Whittle and refused to marry Dylan Coleman. <br /> <br /> Although her parents didn't expect her to agree to marry into the Coleman Family, they did not want her to marry into the Whittle Family either, but Kendall insisted on marrying Jackson. Ultimately, her parents could not stop her and finally agreed to her demand.<br /> <br /> In marriage, one wrong step could lead to an abyss. <br /> <br /> It was only after she married Jackson as per her wish did she learn that he and Kelly were in love with each other. However, during their marriage, neither Jackson nor Kelly had opposed it. Instead, they both were supportive. <br /> <br /> This was because they had long dug a hole and were waiting to bury her in it.<br /> <br /> It was Kendall who was too stupid to perceive their plan. <br /> <br /> With her parents' death and her daughter's birth, Jackson became increasingly indifferent to her and even openly took Kelly home to fool around. Although she tried to save her marriage, she wasn't Kelly's opponent. <br /> <br /> No one in the Whittle Family was on her side either.<br /> <br /> …<br /> <br /> Kendall crossed the road timidly.<br /> <br /> Squeak!<br /> <br /> The sound of an emergency brake echoed through the sky. <br /> <br /> Bang!<br /> <br /> She was thrown into the air by the car before falling to the ground.<br /> <br /> Blood started to quickly pool around her.<br /> <br /> The pain began to spread throughout her body as she tried to crawl toward her daughter. The impact of the car crash was so strong that her daughter in her arms was thrown to the side.<br /> <br /> "Baby…"<br /> <br /> Kendall struggled to crawl forward, moving inch by inch and getting closer to her daughter. She still couldn't touch her child when she stretched out with her hand.<br /> <br /> "Baby…"<br /> <br /> Suddenly, a pair of big feet in black leather shoes appeared in her increasingly blurred vision. The man bent down to carry her daughter's body and shoved it into her arms.<br /> <br /> "Baby." <br /> <br /> Kendall hugged her daughter ecstatically as the blood from the corner of her mouth smeared all over her daughter.<br /> <br /> Her injuries were so severe that she was beginning to lose consciousness. Before the darkness engulfed her, she raised her head in difficulty to look at her savior, only to see a man in black sitting in a wheelchair. <br /> <br /> Even sitting in a wheelchair did not affect his nobility in the slightest. <br /> <br /> She recognized him. After her baby had been thrown to the ground and seriously injured by Jackson and Kelly, she ran out with the baby in her arms, stopped a car, and told the driver to take her to the hospital. <br /> <br /> The man in the wheelchair was sitting in the car. However, he allowed her in and instructed the driver to send them all the way to the hospital.<br /> <br /> Although the baby didn't make it in the end, Kendall was still grateful to him.<br /> <br /> When the two people's eyes met, she smiled at him.<br /> <br /> If there were an afterlife, she would marry him. <br /> <br /> Dylan Coleman. <br /> <br /> …<br /> <br /> "When will she wake up?" <br /> <br /> A low, cold voice rang in Kendall's ears.<br /> <br /> "Young Master Dylan, Dr. Gill said that she lost a lot of blood and had fallen into a coma. Now that the bleeding has stopped, she should be able to wake up soon."<br /> <br /> So, she just lost a lot of blood?<br /> <br /> She thought she was going to die!<br /> <br /> Baby!<br /> <br /> Her baby! <br /> <br /> Kendall's eyes immediately shot open and the first thing she saw was not the white ceiling of the hospital but a pair of deep, cold eyes. The owner of those eyes had a handsome face with a solemn expression as his sharp, chilly gaze made him look remarkably indifferent. <br /> <br /> This face; she remembered this face.<br /> <br /> Dylan Coleman.<br /> <br /> The only person who had shown her kindness when she had nothing left.<br /> <br /> "Dylan…" Kendall called out to him gratefully. <br /> <br /> Everyone in Orapolis had acknowledged Dylan as Master Dylan. <br /> <br /> Although he was disabled, he was still a god in Orapolis' business industry. <br /> <br /> Dylan looked at her without a trace of warmth in his eyes. As he wheeled away, he coldly instructed the bodyguard behind him. "She's awake now. Send her back and tell Adam Parker that although I am disabled, I will not force his daughter to marry me. Tell him to take good care of his daughter and don't let her feign suicide in front of me. It's disgusting." <br /> <br /> Suicide?<br /> <br /> This was a familiar scene.<br /> <br /> Of course! Back then, when the Coleman Family came to propose marriage, they specifically asked for Kendall, the true daughter of the Parker family.<br /> <br /> When she saw that Dylan was disabled and still had the intention to marry her, she felt that he was trying to drag her down for the rest of her life. So, she went to the Coleman Mansion to look for Dylan without her parents' knowledge. There, she told him fiercely that she would rather die than marry him. <br /> <br /> Chapter 2 Master Dylan, I'll Marry You!<br /> <br /> Kendall finally sensed that something was wrong.<br /> <br /> She realized that she only felt pain in her left wrist.<br /> <br /> When she looked around, she realized she wasn't in a hospital.<br /> <br /> The two bodyguards walked to the bed and spoke to her indifferently, "Ms. Parker, please get up and come with us."<br /> <br /> Kendall was speechless. <br /> <br /> What on earth was going on?<br /> <br /> Did she go back to the past after her death? <br /> <br /> "Can you pass me a mirror?"<br /> <br /> Although Kendall was ecstatic, she still wanted to make sure.<br /> <br /> Dylan, who was wheeling himself to the door, stooped. He turned his head and looked at her ironically.<br /> <br /> The bodyguards waited for him to speak. <br /> <br /> After pursuing his lips, Dylan coldly said, "Give her a phone."<br /> <br /> A phone had a front camera, equivalent to looking into a mirror.<br /> <br /> Immediately, one of the bodyguards took out his phone, turned on the camera, and passed it to Kendall.<br /> <br /> She grabbed the phone and saw through her picture on the screen that there was no longer the look of despair and dreariness on her face. Although she was a little pale, it might be from losing too much blood due to her suicide attempt. Whatever the case was, she looked a lot better than how she was before her death.<br /> <br /> This was clearly the way she looked when she was 26 years old.<br /> <br /> She had been reborn! <br /> <br /> She was brought back in time to three years ago.<br /> <br /> Right now, her parents were still alive, and she had yet to marry Jackson. It was a fresh start for her; none of the tragedies had happened yet. <br /> <br /> From the corner of her eyes, she saw the bodyguard behind Dylan reach out to open the door for Dylan to go out.<br /> <br /> Kendall quickly jumped out of bed and stuffed the phone into the bodyguard's hand.<br /> <br /> "Master Dylan, please stop!"<br /> <br /> She yelled and dashed toward Dylan, blocking his way. <br /> <br /> The way he stared at her was cold.<br /> <br /> Although this made her tremble, she did not budge.<br /> <br /> "Master Dylan."<br /> <br /> "Speak!"<br /> <br /> His voice was low, cold, brief, and commanding when he opened his mouth to speak. <br /> <br /> Kendall began to fidget with her hands; this was the little habit she did when she was nervous.<br /> <br /> "Master Dylan."<br /> <br /> "Get her out of here!" <br /> <br /> Dylan had already lost his patience before hearing her out and ordered his men to bring her out.<br /> <br /> "Master Dylan, I'll marry you! I want to marry you!"<br /> <br /> The thing she wanted to do in her past life before her death turned into a string of words and gushed out of her mouth.<br /> <br /> Dylan had shown her kindness when she was at her lowest, when she was most in need of help, and because of that, she will marry him! <br /> <br /> Even if he had a bad temper, lacked patience, was crippled, and was indifferent by nature, she was willing to marry him and live with him for the rest of her life. <br /> <br /> Everyone in the room was stunned by Kendall's sudden remark.<br /> <br /> However, he sneered at her. "Ms. Parker, are you sure you sliced your wrists instead of knocking yourself too hard on the head to try and commit suicide?"<br /> <br /> Immediately, her face turned red when she heard what he said.<br /> <br /> "Master Dylan, I-I'm being serious. I've thought it through. I'm willing to marry you and care for you all my life." <br /> <br /> Whatever the case was, her life depended on him right now. <br /> <br /> "Ah!"<br /> <br /> Dylan scoffed. "Do you not mind my crippled legs? Aren't you afraid I will drag you down for the rest of your life? Aren't you afraid of how inhumane I am because of my injuries? Didn't you say my family depended on their power to force marriages?"<br /> <br /> "I don't care about any of that!" Kendall retaliated. <br /> <br /> In her previous life, Jackson used the excuse of her being pregnant after their marriage to stop treating her like his wife. <br /> <br /> It wasn't until Kelly showed up in front of her with a baby boy almost as old as her daughter that she knew that Jackson didn't care about her, nor did he want to lay his hands on her. <br /> <br /> As for the first time in the hotel, it was because she was drunk and Jackson was the first person she saw, so she immediately assumed he had done the deed. He also said that he would marry her early…<br /> <br /> However, it turned out that it wasn't him that took away her innocence that night. <br /> <br /> On the day of her death, she didn't even know her daughter's father.<br /> <br /> "Kendall Parker, who do you take me as? I, Dylan Coleman, isn't someone that you can come to and leave as you please." <br /> <br /> Dylan stared at Kendall coldly and added, "It wasn't my idea to go to your family and propose. I've never had any feelings for you!"<br /> <br /> As soon as she heard this, she felt colors drain from her face.<br /> <br /> "Get out now!"<br /> <br /> She chewed on her bottom lips as her big, beautiful eyes were fixated on him.<br /> <br /> Out of the blue, she threw herself into his arms.<br /> <br /> She didn't intend to just hug him; she quickly tore the buttons off Dylan's shirt and pulled it apart to reveal his muscular chest before she buried her head in his shoulder and took a hard bite. <br /> <br /> This made him gasp in pain.<br /> <br /> Was this woman a dog?<br /> <br /> Did she actually bit him?!<br /> <br /> Dylan, who returned to his senses, shoved her with both hands before finally pushing away the woman who had crawled into his arms and bit him.<br /> <br /> Kendall, who was shoved, fell to the ground.<br /> <br /> The bodyguards, who had also returned to their senses by then, did not dare to move. Instead, they stared at her with an indescribable expression.<br /> <br /> No one had ever dared to do this to their young master before. <br /> <br /> Who gave this woman her courage?<br /> <br /> "Dylan, I've marked you. You are now my responsibility."<br /> <br /> Kendall pushed herself off the ground and said to Dylan with a smile. "It's either you propose, and I'll marry you, or I'll propose, and you'll marry me!"<br /> <br /> When the bodyguards heard this, they almost gasped out loud.<br /> <br /> They wanted to applaud this woman; her courage is commendable! <br /> <br /> At this point, Dylan's face was as black as coal. <br /> <br /> Then, Kendall walked back to him again, bent down, and tidied his clothes.<br /> <br /> However, he raised his hands and pushed away from the pair of outstretched hands.<br /> <br /> He stared at her for a long while before asking coldly, "Kendall Parker, do you really want to marry me?" <br /> <br /> She nodded. "I do."<br /> <br /> When he saw this, he sneered. "No regrets?"<br /> <br /> "No regrets!"<br /> <br /> "Did you bring your ID with you?" <br /> <br /> "My ID is in my wallet, and my wallet is in the car."<br /> <br /> "Kendall, I'm giving you one last chance to change your mind. I won't pursue your suicidal attempt and your refusal to marry me if you leave now. I'll just pretend that nothing happened." After all, he was a disabled man with a bad temper. It was also rumored that he was inhumane after what happened to him. <br /> <br /> If she didn't want to marry him, he would have understood. <br /> <br /> However, Kendall firmly answered, " Dylan, I won't regret it. I will marry you!"<br /> <br /> After that, Dylan pursed his lips, saying coldly, "Go downstairs and wait for me." <br /> <br /> But she did not move. <br /> <br /> This made him glare at her. "Didn't you say you want to marry me? Once I've changed my clothes, we will go to the Bureau of Civil Affairs to follow up with the marriage procedures." <br /> <br /> He gave her the chance to leave, but she didn't take it.<br /> <br /> Since she was so shamelessly throwing herself at him, he would do as she liked. He wanted to see how many days she could live with him.<br /> <br /> Kendall was stunned when she heard this. "We're going through with the marriage procedures now?"<br /> <br /> "Are you scared?"<br /> <br /> She immediately raised her head and puffed her chest. "Of course not." <br /> <br /> But in the next moment, she cowardly mumbled, "Dylan, I only have an ID card. D-Don't we need our IDs and account books to go through with the procedures?"<br /> <br /> "You have me. We don't need to bother with such trivial matters, so you can be pinned as my spouse without bringing your account book."<br /> <br /> Kendall didn't know what to say.<br /> <br /> How domineering!<br /> <br /> Then, she waited for him obediently downstairs.<br /> <br /> …<br /> <br /> When they came out of the Bureau of Civil Affairs, Kendall squeezed the marriage certificate in her hand. <br /> <br /> It felt like a dream.<br /> <br /> She was really married to Dylan Coleman.<br /> <br /> She even had the marriage certificate in her hands!<br /> <br /> She quietly pinched her thigh with her other hand, and it hurt!<br /> <br /> In this life, she finally did the right thing.<br /> <br /> Kendall couldn't help but let out a secret giggle when she thought about this. <br /> <br /> It was good to be alive! <br /> <br /> Chapter 3 Newly Weds<br /> <br /> Dylan had his bodyguard pushing him as he silently looked at the woman walking in front. She had just become his legal wife.<br /> <br /> That woman giggled as she walked like a cat had caught a canary. <br /> <br /> "Kendall," he called out in a low voice. <br /> <br /> When Kendall heard him calling her, she turned around, smiled sweetly at him, and asked, "What's the matter, hubby?"<br /> <br /> As soon as he heard this, he frowned. He didn't like her calling him 'hubby.'<br /> <br /> "Don't call me hubby."<br /> <br /> "Dylan."<br /> <br /> Kendall was sensible and immediately changed her tone.<br /> <br /> "Come here."<br /> <br /> She let out a hum and turned around to stand in front of him as if waiting for his following command. <br /> <br /> "Turn around and squat down."<br /> <br /> Although Kendall didn't understand why Dylan would have such a request, she still squatted down in front of him and turned her back to him according to his request.<br /> <br /> "Dylan, are you asking me to carry you? Hop on! I'm quite strong. I should be able to—"<br /> <br /> Before she could even finish what she was saying, she felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck, and her eyes immediately black as the darkness engulfed her. <br /> <br /> Dylan looked at his newlywed wife, who had fallen to the ground indifferently, and commanded in a low voice, "Send her back to the Parkers. Let her recuperate before taking responsibility for what she had done."<br /> <br /> Then, he pushed past Kendall in his wheelchair. <br /> <br /> As he passed her, he bent down, picked up the marriage certificate she had dropped on the ground, and stuffed it into his pockets.<br /> <br /> The bodyguards were completely confused by Dylan's actions and his arrangements, but none of them dared to question him. Finally, one of the bodyguards silently carried the unconscious Kendall into the car and sent her home.<br /> <br /> …<br /> <br /> When Kendall was awake again, she felt a pain in the back of her neck alongside an empty stomach.<br /> <br /> "Kendall, Kendall."<br /> <br /> She heard a familiar, warm, but anxious-sounding voice.<br /> <br /> Immediately, Kendall returned to her senses and turned her head instinctively to see her mother's beautiful face. <br /> <br /> "Kendall, how are you feeling? Do you feel dizzy? Are you hungry? Does your wrist hurt? You scared me to death! I've just gotten you back, and I haven't even gotten the chance to really get to know you. If something happened to you, what should I do then?"<br /> <br /> Charlotte grabbed Kendall's hand tightly, and Charlotte's eyes reddened as she spoke. <br /> <br /> The bodyguards of the Coleman Family sent her unconscious daughter back and told her that Kendall had gone to slit her wrist in front of Dylan so that she would not marry him. <br /> <br /> When Charlotte heard this, she was scared out of her wits. However, she quickly helped her daughter and probed the tip of her nose. When Charlotte realized that Kendall was still breathing, she let out a sigh of relief. <br /> <br /> Fortunately, the bodyguards of the Coleman Family did not say much. Instead, they told Charlotte that Kendall should recuperate from her injuries before taking responsibility and leaving. <br /> <br /> "Mom? Am I still alive?" Kendall asked. <br /> <br /> As Charlotte wiped away her tears, she patted her daughter on the shoulder, held up her injured hand distressedly, and said, "Silly girl, if you don't want to marry someone, you can just tell us. Why did you have to go and offend the Colemans? I will even help convince your dad to call the marriage off. Why do you have to do something like this… Thank God you were saved."<br /> <br /> Kendall blinked as hard as she could.<br /> <br /> She felt a sharp pain when she touched the back of her neck.<br /> <br /> Dylan had stunned her!<br /> <br /> He must be the first person that stunned their newlywed wife.<br /> <br /> "Mom," Kendall called out in a hoarse voice. <br /> <br /> Putting aside her marriage with Dylan, Kendall finally had the time to feel excited about her rebirth.<br /> <br /> She sat up and hugged Charlotte abruptly before exclaiming, "Mom, I've missed you so much."<br /> <br /> In Kendall's previous life, she had only stayed with the Parkers for three years after reuniting. More than a year after her marriage, her parents died in a car accident. She had only managed to spend no more than four years with her biological parents in her past life.<br /> <br /> Although the time was short, her parents' love for her was real. <br /> <br /> There were times that Kelly would be envious, saying that the love she had received for 25 years was nothing compared to the love Kendall received over the past year.<br /> <br /> "Kendall." <br /> <br /> Charlotte was not used to Kendall being this open about her feelings.<br /> <br /> Although the two were mother and daughter, this daughter of hers had been wrongly exchanged for the past twenty-five years. Instead, it was Kelly, whom Charlotte had grown up loving. <br /> <br /> However, she still accepted Kendall's affectionate behavior.<br /> <br /> Ever since Kendall's return, the mother and daughter had been embarrassed to show affection, unlike how Charlotte was with Kelly. <br /> <br /> Charlotte also wanted her biological daughter to be affectionate to her, but Kendall did not grow up by her side, and she was already 25 when they reunited. So, it was natural for her to be a bit distant. <br /> <br /> "Mom, let me hug you properly. I've missed you so much. I was so afraid I wouldn't see you when I woke up." <br /> <br /> "I'm at home every day, and you can see me whenever you like."<br /> <br /> The mother and daughter hugged each other a while more before Charlotte gently pushed her daughter away.<br /> <br /> Then, she gently stroked her daughter's face, carefully examining it.<br /> <br /> Kendall looked like the perfect mixture of her and her husband, Adam. How could she be so blind in the past to not realize that Kelly looked nothing like them?<br /> <br /> "Kendall, promise me that you wouldn't do anything stupid in the future anymore." <br /> <br /> "Mom, I'm sorry that I made you worry. I promise I won't do anything stupid again."<br /> <br /> Now that she had a second chance in life, she would be a fool if she did anything stupid again.<br /> <br /> This time, she just wanted to live a free and easy life. She wanted to live a better life than before, safeguard the Parker Corporation, and repay her birth and adoptive parents' kindness.<br /> <br /> In her previous life, her adoptive parents did not cut off contact with her just because she had returned to the Parkers, and their affection towards her remained the same. <br /> <br /> On the other hand, Kelly, who had grown up in the Parker Family, did not want to return to her biological parents even after knowing who they were. <br /> <br /> The honest couple dared not force their daughter to return home and felt that Kendall's parents had raised Kelly well. So, to repay their kindness, they decided to show Kendall even more love.<br /> <br /> "So, the marriage proposal with the Colemans…"<br /> <br /> "Mom, I promised to marry Dylan." As a matter of fact, she had already married Dylan.<br /> <br /> Charlotte was stunned for a moment when she heard this. Then, she reached out to touch Kendall's head to ensure she didn't have a fever before asking worriedly, "Kendall, did Master Dylan do something to you? I know you like Jackson. Although I disapprove of you marrying him, you don't have to do anything that is against your will just because of the pressure from Dylan."<br /> <br /> "Even if your family goes bankrupt because of the Colemans, I will never let you marry into the Coleman Family as a widow," she added through gritted teeth.<br /> <br /> Charlotte had always been against the marriage from the very beginning. But, it was Adam who was afraid to refuse it, fearing that he might offend the Colemans. So, he left the decision for Kendall to make.<br /> <br /> As a result…<br /> <br /> Charlotte almost lost her biological daughter, whom she had just reunited with. <br /> <br /> "Mom, Dylan, and I—"<br /> <br /> Knock, knock! <br /> <br /> The knocks on the door interrupted Kendall mid-sentence. <br /> <br /> "Mom, is Kendall awake? I've boiled some porridge and fried a few small dishes on the table. If Kendall's awake, let her have something to eat."<br /> <br /> It was Kelly.<br /> <br /> Kendall's face immediately changed, and hatred flashed across her eyes.<br /> <br /> This 'good sister' of hers killed her daughter and her parents!<br /> <br /> In this life, she would never let Kelly harm her parents. Kendall would even drive Kelly out of the Parker Family and take back her identity as the only daughter of the Parker Family.<br /> <br /> Everything that Kelly had in her previous life, Kendall would make sure to destroy. She would never let Kelly become the winner she was in Kendall's past life.<br /> <br /> Chapter 4 Mother-Daughter Duo<br /> <br /> "Kendall, your sister made some food for you. Listen to mom and stop fasting for Jackson. Y-You've just lost a lot of blood. It might kill you if you go on a hunger strike like this."<br /> <br /> Charlotte caressed her daughter's pale face. <br /> <br /> Kendall held back her hatred. Right now, Kelly was still undercover, and Kendall had no evidence yet. It would be difficult for her to try and tear off Kelly's hypocrisy mask now. <br /> <br /> However, as long as Kendall was alive, she would do anything to reveal Kelly's true intentions and leave her with nothing.<br /> <br /> When Kendall heard what her mother said, guilt engulfed her again.<br /> <br /> In her previous life, she went on a hunger strike in order to get her parents to agree to her marriage to Jackson.<br /> <br /> After a day of her hunger strike, she realized that maybe it was the Colemans' marriage proposal that caused her parents to disapprove of her marriage to the Whittle Family. So, she headed over to the Coleman Mansion when her parents weren't paying attention and tried to stop the marriage through violent means. <br /> <br /> She had everything calculated. She knew that the Colemans wouldn't let her die.<br /> <br /> That was where she had gotten the courage to do such a thing. <br /> <br /> As a matter of fact, she was right.<br /> <br /> Later, the Colemans stopped insisting on marriage, and she also managed to force her parents into agreeing to her marriage with Jackson after her suicide attempt and hunger strike. <br /> <br /> "Come in, Kelly," Charlotte called out.<br /> <br /> Soon, Kelly pushed open the door and came in. She looked completely different from Kendall. Kendall was a mixture of her parents' good features; she was beautiful. Although she had grown up in a poor environment, it couldn't hide her natural beauty. <br /> <br /> She also had an elegant temperament by nature. Her adoptive parents were very kind to her. Since a young age, she had been interested in piano, chess, poetry, and painting. Her adoptive parents would grit their teeth and do anything to send her to those classes, which enhanced her elegance even more. <br /> <br /> "Kendall, I've prepared some porridge for you with some of your favorite side dishes. Eat them while it's hot." <br /> <br /> Kelly had a sweet smile on her face. She grew up in the Parker Family, and the education she received was completely different from Kendall's. Kelly had both the extravagance of a wealthy family and the ability to work. This gave her a gentle front, but she was also calculative and manipulative. <br /> <br /> She had written the script of Kendall's past life. <br /> <br /> Kendall glanced at the food Kelly brought up and put her arms around her mother's arm, whining, "Mom, I want to eat the food you make, not the porridge she cooked."<br /> <br /> Although Kelly's eyes flickered, she maintained her smile as if she didn't care that her sister disliked her porridge. <br /> <br /> The two were actually born on the same day; Kelly was only older than Kendall by half a day.<br /> <br /> Charlotte turned to look at Kelly, who smiled back at her and said, "Mom, if Kendall wants to eat the food you make, you can go cook for her, just so long that she eats."<br /> <br /> When she saw that the eldest daughter wasn't upset, she tapped Kendall's forehead and said indulgently, "Look at you! When Kelly heard the news, she dropped everything she was doing to come back and cook for you, yet you don't even appreciate it."<br /> <br /> "I just want to eat something you've made, mom. I love your cooking."<br /> <br /> "Fine, fine, I will go and cook for you."<br /> <br /> Since her daughter wanted to eat her food, she immediately went downstairs to cook. <br /> <br /> On the other hand, Kendall did not want to interact with Kelly for much longer, afraid she might lose control of her hatred and strangle Kelly to death on the spot. <br /> <br /> That would be too easy for Kelly. Kendall wanted Kelly to get a taste of what she had been through in her past life. She also wanted to expose Kelly's scheme so everyone knew her true colors. <br /> <br /> That shameless wh*re!<br /> <br /> "Kendall," Kelly called out when she noticed that Kendall was heading downstairs. <br /> <br /> However, she did not stop at her feet or turn back. Instead, she just lightly answered, "I'm hungry. I'm going down for some snacks." <br /> <br /> Kelly kept quiet and watched her walk out of the room and down the stairs.<br /> <br /> When she turned back, she saw the bowl of white porridge with a few side dishes that she had brought up. She seemed deep in thought as her eyes darkened and her lips tightened. <br /> <br /> In the past, Kendall loved porridge because of how she used to live. <br /> <br /> Now, she didn't even want to eat porridge… <br /> <br /> Kelly felt that Kendall was acting differently. Not only did she not want to eat porridge, but she was also acting like a spoiled child in front of her mother!<br /> <br /> After waiting for a moment, Kelly took the tray of food down.<br /> <br /> At the end of the stairs, she heard Kendall talking to her mother. Kendall's sweet voice, with a hint of kittenish, made her mother laugh constantly. <br /> <br /> When she entered the kitchen with the tray, she saw Kendall feeding Charlotte some biscuits.<br /> <br /> Charlotte never liked sweet things. However, now that Kendall was feeding her, Charlotte was happily eating them as if it was the best food in the world. <br /> <br /> "Kendall, mom doesn't like desserts."<br /> <br /> Then, Kelly couldn't help but add, "It's been more than a year since you've come back. So, how can you not know what she likes?"<br /> <br /> Kendall immediately looked bewildered, blinking at her mother and asking pitifully, "Mom, do you really not like desserts?" <br /> <br /> She remembered from her previous life that she overheard her mother talking about how her mother didn't eat desserts not because she didn't like them but because it was fattening. Her mother wanted to maintain a good figure; hence she seldom ate desserts. <br /> <br /> But as a matter of fact, her mother would be delighted whenever she ate desserts.<br /> <br /> When Charlotte saw Kendall's pitiful appearance, she immediately explained to Kelly, "Kelly, I actually love desserts. In the past, I didn't eat them to keep fit. But now that I'm old, it doesn't matter if I gain some weight."<br /> <br /> Then, Charlotte turned to look at Kendall with an affectionate smile and said, "Kendall, this biscuit is delicious. Come, feed me another piece."<br /> <br /> Kendall smiled and immediately fed her mother another biscuit. <br /> <br /> Charlotte ate the biscuit in enjoyment and said, "It's delicious."<br /> <br /> Kendall immediately gushed out, seeing her mother's satisfied look, "Mom, when my hands are healed, I'll make you some desserts."<br /> <br /> She had always enjoyed baking all sorts of cakes in her past life, but it was always to please the Whittle Family. She had never once made them for her mother.<br /> <br /> She was unfilial!<br /> <br /> Yet, when she returned to her parents, she did not fulfill her duty as their daughter. Instead, she allowed them to be killed.<br /> <br /> She had wronged her parents, and she had wronged her baby. <br /> <br /> Her baby… She probably wouldn't be able to be the mother of her baby in this lifetime. <br /> <br /> When Charlotte heard what Kendall said, she smiled in delight. "I've been waiting for you to make me some desserts."<br /> <br /> Kelly looked at the interaction between the mother-daughter duo; although she had a smile on her face, jealousy filled her eyes. Then, she glanced at Kendall's wrist, which was wrapped in gauze, and said in distress, "Kendall, you shouldn't do anything stupid in the future. You're not only hurting yourself. You're also hurting us. You don't know how scared mom was when the Colemans' bodyguards sent you back. She almost fainted."<br /> <br /> Kendall looked at her injured wrist before looking back up at Kelly. Kendall's gaze was firm as she answered, "I won't do anything stupid again!"<br /> <br /> When the two sisters' eyes met, the feeling of how Kendall had changed rose in Kelly's heart again. <br /> <br /> She must be delusional; she was still the same person. <br /> <br /> Subsequently, she reached out to comb Kendall's hair, which was black and soft, making it elegant and eye-catching. "We'd be relieved if you stop doing all these."<br /> <br /> "I know Master Dylan is cruel. Even if you refuse to marry him, he… But, whatever it is, don't worry, Kendall. I will not let Master Dylan hurt you." <br /> <br /> As Charlotte watched how Kelly spoke to Kendall, she was delighted with how her adopted daughter acted.<br /> <br /> After they reunited with her biological daughter, Charlotte's biggest fear was that her adopted daughter would not be able to accept and live peacefully together. Fortunately, it was all in her head. Kelly was a great elder sister; she would do anything to protect Kendall.<br /> <br /> Charlotte, who was about to speak, heard Kendall ask, "Are you going to apologize on my behalf to Master Dylan? Or are you going to marry him for me?"<br /> <br /> Kelly's hands that were combing through Kendall's hair froze. <br /> <br /> Chapter 5 Relieving<br /> <br /> In the previous life, Kelly's biggest fear was Dylan.<br /> <br /> "Kendall," However, Kelly quickly returned to her senses and said in a pedagogical tone. "You must be responsible for your actions. You've offended Master Dylan. Hence, you should be the one that apologizes to him to show your sincerity."<br /> <br /> "The Colemans specified that they wanted you to marry Master Dylan. So, even if I want to take your place, there is no chance for that." <br /> <br /> When Kendall heard this, she snorted before turning around and leaving. <br /> <br /> This left Kelly speechless. <br /> <br /> Then, she hurriedly looked at Charlotte and explained, "Mom, it's not that I don't want to apologize to Master Dylan on Kendall's behalf. You know how he is. It's Kendall that had offended him, and it'll be useless if I went to apologize."<br /> <br /> "What did Kendall do that was so wrong? It is the Colemans that are bullying us. How can Master Dylan try to marry Kendall when he is like that? He is bullying our Kendall, who grew up in the countryside." <br /> <br /> Charlotte was protective of her daughter. No one could argue that it was Kendall's fault, not even Kelly.<br /> <br /> From her point of view, the Colemans were at fault.<br /> <br /> There were many women from wealthy families in Orapolis, yet the Coleman Family chose to marry her biological daughter. Was it because they thought she grew up in the countryside and would be easy to push around?<br /> <br /> "I'm going to make some food for Kendall. Kelly, you should go out first so you won't get in the way of my cooking."<br /> <br /> Kelly said she would make sure Dylan wouldn't try to hurt Kendall. Yet, as soon as Kendall asked her to apologize on Kendall's behalf, Kelly immediately refused and even talked down to her pedagogically. <br /> <br /> This made Charlotte upset because she was no fool.<br /> <br /> Her biological daughter grew up in the countryside and knew nothing about upper-class society. Although Kendall was now living with the Parker Family, it had only been a year since she came, so it was only natural that she had no connections in the upper-class circle. Kelly, on the other hand, grew up in this circle. She was better than Kendall in every aspect of things like these.<br /> <br /> Yet, she had refused to help her sister apologize to Dylan over such a small matter.<br /> <br /> At this moment, Charlotte suddenly felt that her adopted daughter wasn't treating her biological daughter as well as she thought. <br /> <br /> When Kelly saw that Charlotte was clearly displeased, she didn't dare to say anything and silently exited the kitchen. <br /> <br /> As soon as she left the kitchen, she saw Kendall pruning a few pots of her delicate flowers with a pair of scissors. <br /> <br /> "Kendall, what are you doing?" Kelly let out a low cry. <br /> <br /> Those pots of flowers were given to her by Jackson. She had spent a lot of time and effort growing them, and they were specially placed in the house to showcase to her parents what she did. <br /> <br /> Yet, here Kendall was, pruning them with a giant pair of scissors as if the flowers weren't dying fast enough on their own. <br /> <br /> "I'm pruning the branches."<br /> <br /> She turned her head, smiled, and said, "Once I've pruned them, they'll grow better." <br /> <br /> After she said that, she turned her head back and began repeatedly slashing the plants with the pair of scissors.<br /> <br /> It was relieving! She couldn't do anything toward the plant's owner, but she could at least do something like this to get rid of her frustrations.<br /> <br /> "Kendall!" <br /> <br /> Kelly hurried over to reach out, snatched the scissors from Kendall's hand, and stared at the pots of flowers that Kendall had ruined.<br /> <br /> The more Kelly looked at it, the more annoyed and angry she became.<br /> <br /> She really wanted to use the scissors to slash that smile Kendall had on her face.<br /> <br /> "What's the matter?" <br /> <br /> Charlotte rushed out of the kitchen when she heard Kelly's cries and asked with concern. <br /> <br /> Almost instantaneously, Kendall's eyes were red-rimmed and brimming with tears.<br /> <br /> "Mom, I saw that these pots of plants were getting a bit too wild, so I helped prune them. I'm sure they will grow better once I've properly trimmed them, but Kelly is blaming me for it." <br /> <br /> "Kendall, do you know how much work it took me to grow these pots of flowers? They have only started to bloom, so I took them out of the greenhouse and put them here for our parents to admire. Now, look at what you did!"<br /> <br /> Kelly was fuming at this point.<br /> <br /> She had no idea what happened to this country girl, but it seemed like Kendall had changed overnight. Not only did she not eat the porridge that Kelly had specially cooked, but Kendall was also acting like a spoiled child to their mother and had even tried to set her up. <br /> <br /> She even ruined the flowers Jackson gave Kelly, which she had cared for so attentively. <br /> <br /> "Mom, I-I was just trying to help. I didn't know that I was going to ruin it."<br /> <br /> Kendall looked aggrieved and helpless. <br /> <br /> When Charlotte saw this, she hurried over and comforted her daughter, "It's alright, as long as the plants are still alive, those branches and leaves will grow back."<br /> <br /> Then, she turned to Kelly and said, "Kelly, your sister was just being thoughtful. She doesn't have a green thumb like you. She thinks that the flowers will bloom better once you've pruned them. So, don't blame it on her." <br /> <br /> Kendall nodded repeatedly and said, "I was really trying to prune them so that they can grow better. I wasn't deliberately trying to kill them."<br /> <br /> Hearing this, Charlotte pulled out a tissue and handed it to Kendall, coaxing her, "It's okay. Your sister wouldn't hold it against you. Don't cry. You're still weak. I've made you soup. It'll be done in a bit. Then, you can drink two bowls of it."<br /> <br /> "Thanks, mom." <br /> <br /> Kendall wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, but the tissue was not wet. She deliberately squeezed out a tear when her mother questioned her, so Charlotte felt sorry for her and stood by her side. <br /> <br /> Kendall had to let her parents see who Kelly really was to prevent the tragic history from repeating itself.<br /> <br /> Not only that, but Kendall also wanted to destroy everything that Kelly cared about, even if it was just a few pots of flowers. Kendall couldn't hold herself back. <br /> <br /> No one knew that Jackson gave these flowers to Kelly except Kendall, who had been reborn. <br /> <br /> In her previous life, when Kelly showed up in front of her, gleaming like a winner, she told Kendall everything.<br /> <br /> "Mom!" <br /> <br /> Kelly couldn't hold herself back anymore and whined, "I've really spent a lot of effort trying to grow these flowers." <br /> <br /> "Are these pots of flowers more important than your sister? Didn't Kendall say that she was trying to help? She isn't like you, who grew up by my side, received the best education, and knows everything. These flowers aren't dead. So, why are you picking a fight with your sister? She had just woken up and is still weak and hungry, yet she had decided to help you trim your flowers." <br /> <br /> Kelly immediately swallowed what she wanted to say when she saw how Charlotte's face had darkened in displeasure.<br /> <br /> "How about I go down to the flower market tomorrow to buy you some new ones to pay you back?" Kendall suggested, acting like she did something wrong with the intention to make up for it.<br /> <br /> This made Kelly grit her teeth in anger. <br /> <br /> Could the flowers at the flower market be comparable to these? Again, these were gifts from Jackson. <br /> <br /> "Forget it. Next time, you should ask first before you do anything. It might not always be helpful." Although Kelly was on the verge of exploding, she still managed to calm herself down.<br /> <br /> She couldn't argue with Kendall over a few pots of flowers, let alone make her mother feel like she was bullying Kendall. <br /> <br /> After all, although she was found to be adopted, she still bore the identity of the eldest daughter of the Parker Family.<br /> <br /> "Alright, it's fine. But, Kendall, don't be too upset. If you enjoy trimming plants, I'll get you a carload of potted flowers to do whatever you want."<br /> <br /> Kendall smiled sweetly when she heard this. "Thanks, mom, you're the best. I love you, mom." <br /> <br /> Kendall's sweet smile moved Charlotte, and when she heard her daughter's 'I love you,' her heart melted.<br /> <br /> "Silly girl, you're my daughter. Who else should I be kind to if it's not to you? Oh, my soup!" <br /> <br /> Charlotte let out a cry before she turned to run into the kitchen.<br /> <br /> At this time, Adam entered the living room and saw his wife running into the kitchen in a hurry. Then, he took off his coat and asked, "What's wrong with your mother?"<br /> <br /> "Dad, you're back."<br /> <br /> Kelly was just about to put the scissors down and go toward him, but Kendall was a step faster as she was already before him to welcome him home. <br /> <br /> 📚️The plot after that is more exciting, you can click to continue reading👇️👇️👇️	LEARN_MORE	https://page.tapon.com/h5-book-share-custom4.html?	109834041155536	Book-fans	https://facebook.com/100064272475832	808	748,836,943,823,923	2024-06-04 02:00	person_profile	eligible	NONE	1	1	0	Learn more	Book-fans	120208211019830094	page.tapon.com		NONE	image		https://page.tapon.com/h5-book-share-custom4.html?lang=en&id=2400&brand=3&app=0&ppid=3081&pid=FBW2A&campaign={{campaign.id}}&adset_id={{adset.id}}&ad_id={{ad.id}}&utm_source=FBW2A&utm_medium={{placement}}&utm_campaign={{campaign.id}}&utm_term={{adset.id}}&utm_content={{ad.id}}&ori_campaign_id=120208211009820094&ori_adset_id=120208211010050094&ori_ad_id=120208211019590094	2024-06-04 06:45	https://scontent-lga3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/447061685_3902487929986020_5924168387949739582_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=105&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=AztE_sSd1BYQ7kNvgEg5mzy&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-2.xx&oh=00_AYDQtvT6hQlmKLTxBnO6jpW9l3as2twzuWrH991S2UIidw&oe=66658E8A	person_profile	0	Book-fans	https://scontent-lga3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/447564892_808001597644918_461384540910533793_n.jpg?_nc_cat=105&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=22DpycaeCj8Q7kNvgHmURpy&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-2.xx&oh=00_AYCRADURDqPFsFBZRjdlCKc-8E6aZdBA0qOnbjHBJsZ21w&oe=66658C26	3	Book-fans	2024-06-04 02:00	View Edit Delete
