“Yey! We’ll be four!”
She was celebrating the good news when Pierce came. He immediately smiled after seeing joy on our daughter’s face..
“What is my baby girl celebrating?” He carried her and Snow cupped his cheeks and kissed his nose.
“Daddy, mommy said we’ll have a baby!”
Pierce glanced at me and smirked before he landed his eyes on her again. “Yes, princess. Are your excited?”
“Yes! I’m excited!”
I smiled when Pierce walked towards me carrying our daughter. He held my hand and planted a soft kiss on my temple as he whispered… “Mom called. She’s inviting us to dinner.”
I looked at him. “You told them?”
“I want to but I need your permission.”
I chuckled and squeezed his hand. “You don’t need my permission, Pierce. You can tell them about us.”
He smiled again and nodded. “I’ll tell the world that you’re mine.”
His words made my heart skip a beat. I stared at him and he smiled while holding my hand. We walked together until I saw someone familiar watching us from afar.
I stared at him as I walked side by side with Pierce. His eyes were blank and…hurt. But the rage that I always see in his eyes had disappeared. It seems to me that he’s already accepted the fact that we’re not for each other.
“Kelly…”
I blinked and glanced at Pierce. When I tried to look at where I saw Klay, he wasn’t there anymore.
“Y–Yeah?”
Pierce’s forehead creased. “What’s wrong?”
I immediately shook my head. “No. Nothing.”
He stared at me for a few seconds before he nodded. “Snow wants
I nodded at him. “Okay. I’ll just go to the washroom.”
“We’ll go with you.”
“No, it’s okay.”
in watch cinema later.”
He nodded and let go of my hand. “We’ll be in the department store.”
I smiled and caressed his cheek. I pecked on his lips and Snow’s cheek before I walked towards the
restroom.
When I turned to the right where the restrooms are, I saw Klay standing in front of the men’s restroom. He was staring at the air and he looked drowned in deep thoughts.
“Are you stalking me?”
He flinched and looked around before his eyes dropped on me. My lips parted after zi realized the changes on his face. He has dark circles around his eyes. He lost weight. He has facial hair and his hair is kinda long now.
No one’s around and I’m thankful for that.
He pressed his lips together and looked down. He didn’t come near me. He just stood in front of me, hands inside the pocket of his pants.
“Was it your fault?” I asked again. “The exposure of the syndicate members?”
He lifted his face and smiled at me. “I told you I’ll make things right.”
“I still won’t forgive you.”
“As long as I can make up for
my sins.”
“There’s nothing you can do to make up for it.”
He looked down again and slowly nodded. “I understand. And I’m happy that you’re happy.”
I was about to say something again when I heard footsteps and a commotion. My eyes widened when I

I was about to move away when a hand grabbed my wrist and started dragging me out of there.
“Klay!” I growled at him but he didn’t listen.
“Run, Kelly! Those people are after you!”
“What?”
“You unknowingly stepped in the territory of the beasts. You’re in danger.”
