Evidence...
Kelly's POV
Pierce explained what he wants to happen. He's asking help from Emily and Emily will use her father's resources. I don't know why she would do this when she hates her father's illegal business to death. But when I saw how Emily stared at Matt, who's still sleeping in her bedroom, I remembered how she indirectly confessed to me about her feelings for my cousin.
"Klay is taking down all the big leaders of his organization. Of the bosses is my father, actually. And from the information my men gathered, there are only three big bosses left."
I nodded at Emily as she explained everything she discovered.
"How many bosses are there?" Pierce asked
"Seven bosses. My father, his biological father, some businessmen and an unknown politician."
"Do you think we can team up with Klay?" Emily asked and I figured she's asking me when Pierce turned
to me.
My forehead creased. "Why would we team up with him?"
"He has resources, Kelly. And look at him...taking down the bosses one by one by himself."
Tswallowed hard. "I doubt he'd cooperate."
"He will," Pierce said and stared at me before he held my hand. "He will cooperate, Kels. If it's for your safety, he will."
I stared at him. "Do you trust him?"
"I'd rather trust him than trust other people."
I sighed and slowly nodded. "I..have his contact number."
"Give me his contact. I'll call him myself later," Emily said.
I was about to nod when I heard a groan and footsteps behind me. I looked back and saw Matt looking at Emily with a frowning face.
"Who are you gonna call?" Matt asked with sharp eyes.
Emily walked towards him and held his arm. "Why did you get up? You still need to rest="
"You're gonna call your husband?" Bitterness and anger are audible in his voice.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
My lips parted. He knows.
"I'm not gonna call him for my own benefit, Matt. This is for us. I want this mess to end and finally live at peaceful life."
Matt's eyes immediately softened as he stared at Emily. "Does that peaceful life include me?"
"Do you want to be part of my life?"
"Hell yes! I didn't catch a bullet for you to die without building a family with you. I would only die when I'm old and gray, Emily, with you and our future children and grandchildren."
1 pulled myself up as a smile curved in my lips. The hope, dream and devotion were visible in Matt's eyes.
I couldn't help but smile while watching them.
Evidence
Finally...a happy ending for Emily. I've been praying for her happiness and I guess this is it.
I grabbed Pierce's hand and pulled him towards the guest room where I used to sleep with Snow.
I locked the door and when I faced Pierce again, there was a hint of naughtiness twinkling in his eyes.
I chuckled and pinched his side. "Don't look at me like that. We're not gonna make love here."
He sat on the bed and signaled me to come closer. I walked towards him and he immediately pulled me to sit on his lap. He wrapped his arms around my waist as his lips started planting feather kisses on my shoulder and the side of my neck. "Pierce...
"Hmm?"
"What did you talk about with Klay when I was in the hospital?"
"Just..."
I looked at him when he paused and saw him staring at my face. His eyes were so gentle as he tucked my hair behind my ear.
"Just....what?" I asked, getting impatient.
"Some man to man talk."
"About me?"
He nodded. "Yes."
I smiled. "Okay. I won't ask about that again but-
"SHE'S JUST MANIPULATING YOU, MATT!"
My forehead creased after I heard that familiar voice, I immediately went out of the guest room. Pierce stalked me and we found Matt, Mason and Emily arguing in the living area.
"Just go, Mason. You don't know anything so-
"I know everything now, Matt! I know but you're choosing that woman over your own family!"
"Emily is my family, Mason. She became my family so I'm gonna fight for us!"
"You're the one who's crazy! If you already know the truth, then why did you still side with dad?"
Mason's eyes sharpened even more as he clenched his jaws. "Because he's protecting our family-" "Protecting from what? From the truth? Huh? Tell me, Mason. What did he say to you? Did he say that I got shot because of Kelly and Emily? Didn't he mention how he kept me in a cell for a few days?"
Mason's forehead creased. "What the fck are you talking about? Dad said you wanted to elope with that woman and he just tried to stop you."
Matt's sarcastic laugh broke in the whole living area. "Come on, Mason! I don't need to elope with her because I can certainly protect her and fight for her."
"Just come with me, Matt. She's no good for you-"
"Go back to dad and ask him about the plate number of the car that hit and ran over Kelly's mother. He'll go insane if you say that you'll see his true colors." My lips parted and my heart ached. My mom was...hit and run over?
