Why Do You Hate Me?
Kelly’s POV
I sucked air desperately as I sat on the bed as I caught my breath. I was panting heavily and my heart was racing inside my chest. I dreamed of what happened. From the beginning up until Klay came and shot the man who was about to do me something evil. His blood scattered on my face and I lost consciousness because of that.
I gasped and caressed my stomach. My baby!
“You’re finally awake.”
I jumped in shock and fear after I heard that voice. When I looked at the couch, I saw Klay sitting on it while staring at his rubik’s cube. His devilish side came back into my mind. How he shot that man while his eyes were showing nothing. but rage and evilness. I felt like he was a different person when I saw him that way. I felt like his mask had finally stripped off in front of me just because he saw me in that situation.
I pressed my lips together when he pulled himself up and walked towards me. I didn’t move but I grabbed the blanket so tight while holding my breath.
He paused after he saw my face. He must’ve seen the fear in my eyes that he took a deep sigh and looked away. “I’m not gonna hurt you.”
I swallowed hard. I know. I want to tell him that I know he won’t hurt me but I
couldn’t say it. He said he won’t let anything bad happen to me. He said he will protect me. But, if I pissed him off or anger her up to that extent, will he shoot.
me too?
Just thinking about it makes me tremble in fear. I was afraid of him before. My fear has slowly faded but it’s coming back to me now just after he showed me that side of him while protecting me.
I don’t know. I want to fully trust him but I can’t.
Klay lifted his face again and looked at me. “The baby’s fine. I had a professional doctor to check on you.”
Slowly, I nodded. I was lost for words. I couldn’t think of anything to say.
“I’m sorry…” he said again, almost a whisper. “I’m sorry for letting that happen to you. It was my fault. I’m sorry.”
I looked away. What he showed me changed my views about him and he’s starting to make me scared of him again,
“Kelly, please look at me-”
He tried to touch my hand but out of reflexes, I pushed his hand away. He was shocked and I was also shocked with what I did. I’m happy that he fulfilled his promise of protecting me. He indeed protected me but that doesn’t make him any less evil for killing a man right before my eyes.
His eyes mirrored his pain and even if I wanted to explain my side, I couldn’t open my mouth.
Klay looked away and bit his bottom lip as if stopping himself from saying something again.
He then turned his back on me and walked away. He left without a word and was left on the bed, caressing my belly.
After a few seconds, someone knocked on the door and opened it. I thought it was Klay but a maid came in carrying a tray of food.
My lips parted as I watched her walk towards me and gently put the tray of
food on the side table.
She bowed at me, “Sir Klay said you should eat, Miss Kelly.”
Once again, I remained silent. The maid left after that while I stared at the food, suddenly feeling hungry.
*** Klay’s POV
Kelly hates me. She’s disgusted by me and scared of me. Fck! I can’t blame her. She saw my most hateful side. She saw the devil in me. She saw the real me when I lost my temper and killed the people who abducted her.
