Kelly’s POV
No! No! I can’t let anyone ruin my plans. Yes! I expected this to happen since I know that Klay and Pierce are both VIP guests in this event and I have already planned about what I would do. However, the fact that the man I dearly loved and still love was standing in front of me with eyes full of happiness and longing is making my knees weak.
“Kelly…”
I pushed him a little and looked at him with a confused expression.
“I’m sorry, sir. Do I know you?”
That’s it! You’re doing good, Kelly. You need to disregard your feelings for the sake of your freedom and your daughter’s safety. As long as Klay is off the hook, you won’t guarantee your baby’s safety.
The voices in my head praised me for pretending not to know Pierce. And although it hurts my heart, I had to do this.
“W-What?” He sucked his breath. He looked so shocked as he stared at me in disbelief.
I shook my head. “Are you one of the guests, sir? Are you okay? Do you feel sick?”
