Kelly’s POV
I couldn’t sleep. I kept on thinking about my dad’s desperate cries. It keeps on ringing inside my head and I couldn’t forget about it. His warnings too. He wants me to leave and run away but he knows that I won’t do that. We’re just starting to reconcile and make up for the years we’ve lost and I won’t let a mere third wife ruin my family.
I felt Klay’s familiar scent and his footsteps from the bathroom. So I quickly shut my eyes. I know he’d be worried if he saw me still awake so I pretended to be asleep. He told me after dinner that he needs to stay in the company so he’s leaving tonight. I want to talk to him about Amanda but he’s already so busy. And while he’s working for my father’s company, I need to find evidence to prove Amanda’s wicked intentions. I won’t allow her to stay longer in this house.
After a few seconds, I felt Klay kissing me on my lips as he whispered… “Sleep tight, babe. I’ll be here before you wake up. I love you.”
