Brown Eyes
Kelle’s POV
I was drinking water while sitting on the couch. Pierce is in front of me, still scolding Luke. We’re in my condo unit. Pierce actually wanted to bring me to his house but I insisted on going home to my condo.
“You can’t do this again, Luke. What if I wasn’t there? What could’ve happened.
to her?”
“Pierce, stop it. He’s my driver, not my bodyguard.”
“Then I’ll get you a fcking bodyguard!”
I pulled myself and stared into his eyes. “It’s my decision to make, Pierce.”
He looked at me worriedly. “Did you understand what’s going on, Kelly? You were stalked and Luke said the person following you was wearing a mask and hoodie. That means he’s not a good person and he meant harm.”
I palmed my face and took a deep breath. “You didn’t think I’m not scared, right?”
He sighed and grabbed my arm. He made me sit on the couch and held my hands. He stared into my eyes worriedly. “I will do everything I can do to catch him, Kelly. He can never harm you. I promise you that.”
I nodded and gave him a faint smile. He pulled me closer and wrapped his arms around me, giving me a warm embrace.
When Pierce left, I couldn’t sleep. I feel like someone’s still watching me event when Luke is in the next room. I’m just thankful I chose a two bedroom unit. I won’t be living here alone and that somehow calms me down.
I kept on rolling on the bed as I couldn’t sleep. My lights are on but I still feel scared. I squeezed my eyes closed and I gasped when I saw the cleaner’s face in my head. Was it him? I should keep my eyes on him.
It’s hard for me to open my eyes the next morning because I slept too late last
night. I rubbed my eyes as I slowly sat on the bed. I can hear two familiar voices talking outside and I could tell it’s Luke and Pierce.
Brown Eyes
After bathing, I readied myself for work and went out of the bedroom. I saw Luke and Pierce in the kitchen, talking.
“You keep your eyes on her all the time, Luke. I have a huge hunch that that person has access to the company,” Pierce said with a very serious face.
“I will do my job, Mr. Anderson.”
“We need to keep her safe, Luke. I won’t allow anyone to hurt her. Damn! I won’t even allow anyone to touch her hair.”
At first, I ignored what Pierce was doing. He keeps on checking on me in the company. He kept on sending me messages and asking my whereabouts whenever I had business outside the company. He keeps on visiting me in my condo, And mind you, he does that every single day for a straight week. He never missed a day. There was never a day I didn’t see his face and now, he picked me up so we can go together to the anniversary party.
“Pierce…” I called as I took a deep sigh.
He looked at me and pulled himself up. He walked towards me and held my arm. “Are you okay? What’s wrong?”
He’s wearing a black suit and he looked dashing in his attire. His aura was intimidating. His lips were reddish and his brown eyes were so beautiful. God! If only I could keep him for myself forever.
I pulled my hand away from him and looked him in the eyes. “I know you’re worried but you shouldn’t come here whenever you want, Pierce. We’re
divorced.”
His forehead immediately creased. “Does that take away my right to worry about you?”
“What kind of ex–husband visits his ex–wife, Pierce? Every single day? Without a miss?” I threw the question back at him. His lips parted as he looked into my eyes. I could feel his shock and frustration.
He was rendered speechless. He stared at me for God knows how long with pain and confusion in his eyes. After a few sends, he looked away and took a step back. He shook his head and palmed His face as if the truth hurts him.
