Kelly's POV "Kelly...
A soft hand caressing my cheeks and a gentle voice woke me up from my deep slumber. When I opened my eyes, Pierce's gentle brown eyes greeted me.
"Wake up. We're here."
That woke me up completely. I looked around and realized we're still in the plane. "Where did you bring me?" "To my villa."
That shocked me. Why did he bring me here and more importantly, why is he helping me? I understand if he still considers me as his best friend but this isn't right. He's getting married. Helping me like this will only bring misunderstanding between him and his fiance. "Don't look at me like that, Kelly. You know why I'm doing this," he said, looking away.
He pulled himself up and carried my bag. He offered his hand to me but I pulled myself up without accepting his help.
My legs are still weak and my heart is still aching because of what happened to my dad. If this was Klay's fault, I swear I will do everything to make him pay. I will not stop until he's begging for my mercy. I don't care if I loved him. Hurting my dad and attempting to hurt my child is on a different level. I will never and can never forgive him.
I saw a luxury car as soon as I got off the plane. Pierce opened the door of the passenger seat and looked at me. Without a word, I slipped myself in.
He brought me to a different country instead of our hometown. He's doing this to save me from Klay and as much as I want to avoid him because of our past, I don't have a choice left but to put up with his presence and accept his help.
"Are you the one who paid Emily to help me?" I asked, looking straight at the road as he started the engine and drove.
I remember my conversation with Emily and she clearly told me that someone paid her to help me. If he's the one who did it, even when I'm confused, I'd thank him from the bottom of my heart.
"I just did what I had to do, Kelly. I failed you once, I don't wanna fail you again."
I nodded. "Thank you.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
I felt him glancing at me for a second or two. He didn't say anything but I bet he's shocked by my calm voice. The first thing I always do whenever I see him after our divorce is push him away, so this treatment. is new to him. Besides, I don't have energy left in me to fight and push him away. I have to accept that I need his help because right now, I have no one and nothing.
The car stopped in front of a huge house. The design was simple but it looks elegant,
Pierce opened the door on my side before he got my back on the backseat. I stared at the two storey house in front of me. This reminds me of our house when we're still together.
"This is a private property so we won't have neighbors.
"Why did you bring me here? I can just stay in a hotel, Pierce."
Good Memories To Keep
I heard him sigh. "This is the least thing I can do, Kelly: know you can't forgive me and I'm not here. helping you seeking for forgiveness. I just want you safe. Only then I can sleep at night in peace."
I looked at him with blank eyes. "Are you gonna stay here or leave?"
He stared back at me. His eyes were full of different emotions. "Do you want me to leave?"
I looked away. "This is your house. You decide."
"Then, I'm staying."
I don't know why I felt so relieved after he said that. I admit that I still have feelings for him but it's slowly fading. However, having him here with me makes me a little stronger. His presence is making me feel that I'm not alone so I shouldn't worry. We entered the house silently. Pierce faced me again while I stared at the lanai from where I'm standing. There's also a pool.
Squeezing my eyes closed, I remember the time I told Pierce about my dream house. I feel like this house resembles the house I dreamed of living in.
"I ordered food. It should be here in a minute. Do you want to shower first or eat?"
"I want to go to a clinic," I said as I caressed my baby bump. I wasn't looking at him but I felt his eyes on
1. me.
can just call a doctor here. You're tired so let's do that for now."
I just nodded. He's right, anyway. And I have no energy to go out. I just want my baby checked because haven't visited a doctor since I ran away from Klay.
I sat on the couch. The awkward and deafening silence between us isn't helping. He must've felt it so he went out and stayed outside for 10 minutes. When he came back, he's carrying a paper bag.
"Let's go and eat?"
I followed him to the dining hall. The dining table was good for only four people. He pulled a chair for me and I sat there silently. He prepared the food while I was just watching him.
Everything...in this house and about him reminds me of how we were in the past. This brings back the memories and it somehow helped me feel comfortable because even if I admit it or not, with Pierce, I'm always comfortable: I think the fact that we're best friends before helped: We're friends before we got married and that was one of the things I didn't regret.
"I want to avenge my father," I said as we ate. I'm not telling him to help me. I just want him to know that I won't stay here forever. Once I'm strong enough and my baby grows up, I'll go back and get back at Amanda and Klay.
His brown eyes and the emotions in it were so familiar. He still cares, his brown eyes confessed.

alone."
"I won't stop you, but for now, you have to delay your plans of revenge because you're going to give birth soon. I will stay with you until then. And once you don't need me anymore, I'll leave
