I was driving my car to go to the place where I can find Emily when one of my men called. I sent some of my people to guard Kelly from the dark. I know she wouldn’t like it but I need to do this. I’ve been watching her for quite a while now. This is not only to keep her safe, but to keep me sane. I need information about what she’s doing every day so I can sleep peacefully at night. To know that she’s happy and content was the only reason I have for watching her. I’m fine with that.
[Sir, Miss Kelly was ambushed.]
The loud screech of my car was the result of my sudden brake. I gritted my teeth and grabbed my phone from the dashboard.
“What did you say?”
[They were going home when someone shot their car’s tire. She’s safe, but her guards are still chasing the shooter.]
I clenched my jaws and without thinking twice, I maneuvered the car and took a U–turn.
It’s Kelly so no matter where I’m going or how important I’m going to do, I will always turn around and run back to her. I will always choose her no matter how many times she doesn’t choose me.
I went straight to Anderson’s mansion after I got a confirmation from one of my men that they’re home safely. Kelly was sitting on the couch while staring at Pierce Anderson when I entered their house.
I swallowed hard and endured the pain in my heart as I started walking towards them.
“Klay! What are you doing here? Did you find Emily?”
“Are you okay?” I asked, instead of answering her.
She immediately nodded. “Yes. Where’s Emily?”
I clenched my jaws. “I…rushed back here as soon as I heard what happened.”
Her eyes widened. “What? What about Emily?”
“I’ll go back later to find her-”
“She doesn’t remember her present, Klay! What if Connor’s men find her? She’s also in danger!”
“I will just find her later-”
“You can’t do this! She’s your wife-”
“I don’t care who she is in my life, Kelly. My only mission in this life is to protect you and no matter what happens, it will remain that way. You are at the top of my priorities and I’m sorry that I always choose you

over anything or anyone!”

I didn’t mean to break it off to her like this but I just can’t stop myself. I want her to know that she’s always my priority. I will find Emily and will save her if she’s in danger, I’d even give my life because I did her wrong before. But if I were to choose between them, I’d always choose her. Without hesitation. I will choose her and nothing can change my mind.
Kelly shook her head, disappointed. I have disappointed her countless times already but it still hurts seeing her look at me like that.
“You didn’t really change…”
“I won’t change,” I answered painfully. “I will never change and you should know that better than anyone else.”
I gritted my teeth, balled my fists and dropped my cold stares on Pierce Anderson who’s looking at me with a darkened expression.
I can’t believe I’m putting up with the man I’m jealous of just to protect the only woman I treasure.
I turned my back. “I’m gonna find her now. Thank you for being safe.”

*Kelly’s POV
I sucked my breath and shook my head after Klay disappeared from my sight. I still can’t believe that he hasn’t changed at all. He will do as he pleases and he doesn’t care if there are people who’d get hurt.
I get it that he’s worried about me. But he can’t just do this all the time. Emily needs him and as her husband, he should be protecting her.
Yes! Their relationship wasn’t normal. They didn’t have romantic feelings for each other but he can’t abandon her just like that. He already abandoned her before and he can’t do this over and over again.
“Calm down,” Pierce whispered as he pulled me closer to him and kissed my temple.
“I just can’t believe what he did. Emily is in danger too.”
“I know…I know…” he whispered again and pulled me down to sit.
I squeezed my eyes closed and massaged the bridge of my nose. We’re in that position when my phone started ringing.
My forehead creased after seeing an unknown number registered on the screen.
I looked at Pierce with worry in my eyes. My heart suddenly raced as I thought of one possibility. It’s cliche but it may happen.
I answered the call with trembling hands and put it on speaker. “II–Hello?”
[Why can I sense fear in your voice, Kelly? Do you know who I am and why I’m calling you?]
I gritted my teeth. “Connor Foster.”

He laughed like a madman. He was always composed and hearing him like this makes me think he’s lost it. Completely after losing his sons.
[I’m glad you remember my voice.]
“Where is Emily?”
[Oh! That’s not very good. Pointing a finger, eh?]
“Just answer my damn question, Connor! Where is Emily?”
He chuckled. [Just somewhere… A place that is actually intended for you.]
My forehead creased. “You’ve gone crazy.”
[Maybe. You’ll go crazier than me if you find out what I’m going to do with your friend and the people in your company.]
My eyes widened in shock as I pulled myself up. “What are you talking about, Connor?”
[Just Connor? No uncle? You really have no respect, eh?]
“You don’t deserve respect!”
[Hmm! Okay. Just make sure that you can come to your company within 15 minutes or your employees will explode and will be cut into pieces. But oh! I forgot! Your amnesia friend wasn’t in your company. She’s somewhere dark, narrow and scary. So it’s up to you who you’re gonna choose. Good luck, niece.]
“What company? Connor! Connor!”
The call ended but he didn’t tell me what company.
I looked at Pierce. He was already calling someone to check the companies.
No! No! It could be my dad’s or my mom’s company. This can’t be!
Pierce walked back and forth while waiting for his men to call back while I was thinking about what Connor said about Emily’s location.
A place….intended for me… A dark, scary and narrow place…
My lips parted as my chest moved up and down rapidly. No! No!
I grabbed my phone and dialed Klay’s number. We have limited manpower so I need his men.
[Hello?]
“Send your men to all of the cemeteries in the town. Look for newly dug soil. Emily might be there.”
[What?!]

“Just do as I say, Klay! I’m gonna need you to find Emily and don’t show up to me without her or I won’t forgive you.”
(O–Okay… I’ll find her.]
I nodded and ended the call before I faced Pierce. “I’m sorry, Pierce. I can’t stay here and wait. I need to make a move.”
He walked towards me and held my hand as his eyes looked down at me. “I’m on your side no matter what your plan is.”
I know and I’m scared of what will happen but need to do this. This is our only chance to catch Connor Foster red–handed. I won’t let this chance slide.
