Greatest Rival
WARNING!
Kelly’s POV
I laughed without humor because of what he said. He stared at me blankly and
I continued laughing like crazy. Welcome home? He still has the guts to say that to me after he abandoned me? What does he think of me?
“Are you serious? I won’t stay in the same house with you.”
“You have no choice, Kelly. You will stay here if you want to stay alive.”
I looked at him with hatred. “That’s all you got to say to me after you abandoned me?”
“I never abandoned you, Kelly. I’ve been asking you to come with me but you always refuse. You always choose that Anderson boy over your own father
“You call yourself my father? No! You are not my father. My father died a long time ago!”
He shook his head and glanced at Luke. He took a deep breath before he looked at me again. “I know you won’t ever forgive me but you have to understand why I’m doing this. You are my daughter and I’m just protecting you.”
I looked away. No! I don’t wanna talk to him anymore. I heard him sigh before I heard the door open and closed again.
“I will bring you food-”
“I thought you were on my side, Luke,” I said with anger.

I shook my head as I felt tears in the corner of my eyes. “I’d die of rage and sadness in this place, Luke. Please, help me…”
He looked down. “I would rather you be mad at me than see you in a coffin.

I caressed my belly because of what he said. He stared into my eyes and although his expression was blank, I feel like he’s really gonna do everything to keep me safe.
“After all these, I’ll be the one to get you out of here.”
“Luke, Chris has been caught…”
“He wasn’t the one behind the incident, Miss.”
“What?” My forehead creased. “Someone else wants me dead?”
“Parker means physical harm. He wanted you for himself because he’s obsessed with you but he won’t hurt you to the point that you almost died.”
“Then who is it?”
He shook his head and looked down. “Unfortunately, Miss. I don’t know.”
