Chapter 148
Kelly’s POV
“Who are you?” I shot an eyebrow up as I saw a man standing in front of my mother’s grave.
He checked me from head to foot and then smiled. “You must be Kate’s daughter.”
I clenched my jaws. “I said who are you?”
He lifted his chin and his smile faded. “I could be an enemy or an ally. What do you want me to be?”
“It depends on your intention,” I said, gritting my teeth.
He chuckled. “You’re indeed a Foster. Bold and strong.”
Am
I can now clearly see his face. He has thick eyebrows, long eyelashes, red lips, pointed proud nose and angled jaw. He has thin stubbles on his jaws and chin and he looked like he’s just the same age as Pierce.
He took a step forward and offered me his hand, asking for a handshake. “Matt Foster.”
My forehead creased. “Foster?”
He smirked. “Hello, cousin.”
I was alarmed because of that. He’s a Foster. There’s a big chance he’s an enemy.
“I’m Connor and Diane Foster’s son. Eldest.”
I gritted my teeth as I stared at his face. I know they have sons. Twins. But according to the information I gathered, the twins are residing in another country, enjoying the money of the Foster family. Now, they no longer have access to the company, they’re back and I’m certain they will join their parents.
“Matt, let’s go! Mom’s calling already…”
Matt Foster tilted his head, looking at the man walking towards us while holding his phone. “That’s Mason. My twin.”
The man named Mason slowed down when he saw me. He doesn’t look approachable. His face immediately darkened after he saw me. He clenched his jaws.
“Matt, let’s go. Stop talking to a greedy person.”
Greedy person? I couldn’t help but laugh sarcastically. Really now? I’m greedy.
“What’s funny?” Mason walked closer and towered me, trying to intimidate me but to his luck, I can’t be intimidated.
I looked up at him and smirked. “Look who’s talking? I didn’t spend any cent of our grandmother’s money on something useless, Mason Foster. I’m working in the company unlike you who’s just spending the money

abroad without even working.”
“You-”

“Mason, stop it!” Matt Foster stopped him, dragging him away from me.

“Let go!” Mason pushed his twin’s arm and glared at me before he started walking away. “I told you not to come here. Eva Foster has already eaten my worms long ago, anyway. What’s the pint of coming here?”
“You bastard!” I couldn’t help it. I attacked him and slapped him.
“What the fck?” Mason attempted to slap me but someone came and pushed him away. He lost balance and fell on the grass. Matt, who saw what happened, immediately attacked the man who pushed his twin.
“Pierce!” I screamed when Pierce and Matt started exchanging punches. My eyes widened when I saw Mason getting up and helping his twin punching Pierce.
“Pierce!” I screamed again as I roamed my eyes around. No one’s here to help us. No! No!
“Matt! Mason!”
“You asshole! Who are you to push me?”
“You started it, bastard! How dare you try to hurt Kelly?”
“I SAID STOP IT!” I screamed again and tried to pull Matt away from Pierce. He was holding his arms while his twin was punching him.
“MATT! STOP IT! MATT! FCKING STOP!”
I continued screaming. I’m so afraid for Pierce. I was just thankful when Matt listened to me and let Pierce go. He grabbed his twin’s arm.
“Enough, Mason. You already got back at him.”
“No! I’m gonna kill that asshole!”
“I said stop, Mason. I’m still older than you!“.
I joined Pierce, ignoring the two. I swallowed hard as he sat on the grass and looked at me. His lips have been cut. His cheek was red and bruised. Tears formed in the corner of my eyes as I searched for a handkerchief in my bag and started wiping his lips gently, removing the blood.
“Are you okay? Were you hurt?” He asked worriedly.
I shook my head. “You should worry about yourself. You’re hurt, Pierce.”
His jaws clenched. “Who are they?”
I sucked my breath. “My mom’s nephew. Matt and Mason Foster.”

His forehead creased. “Why were they here? Did they follow you? What did they do, huh?
I shook my head again. “I’m fine, Pierce. I’m more worried about you. You have bruises. They gang up on you. You shouldn’t have”
My words were left hanging when he suddenly pulled me closer and hugged me so tightly. I was so shocked when I felt him wetting my neck. Is he crying?”
My heart raced as my throat went dry. Is he okay? Why is he crying?
“P–Pierce…” My hands gently tapped his shoulders. I don’t know what to do. He’s crying so hard and it’s hurting me too. Did something happen? It doesn’t involve Snow, right?
“Pierce, tell m–me what happened,” I whispered. My lips were trembling in fear.
“I’m sorry…” he whispered painfully. “L–Last night…something h–happened between me and….Lexi.”
My heart broke into a million pieces. I tried to push him away but he hugged me even tighter. My lips trembled as my tears rolled down my face completely. Something happened? Last night? Just after what we talked about? Just after he promised that he will never hurt me again? Oh, God! Please!
“No…” He tightened his hug again when I tried to break free.
“I–I was drugged… I was tied. I was…stupid and helpless. I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”
I was taken aback. What did he say? He was tied and drugged?
Pain and rage reigned my heart as I listened to his sobs and felt his trembling arms hugging me so tight. Lexi…did that? Lexi….that bitch…
My chest started moving up and down rapidly in so much anger. That bitch! That crazy bitch!
“I’m sorry, Kelly… I’m really, really sorry…” He continued chanting those words and it’s breaking me even more. He sounded so helpless. So desperate. So…pained.
I clenched my jaws. “Where is that bitch?”
“I d–don’t know. I want to…report it but I’m too ashamed… I…can’t.”
I sobbed as I lifted my arms and hugged him back. My enemies are piling up, huh? Really? This is going nowhere. Will this ever end?
