Chapter 29 Truth Revealed
Kelly’s POV
I glanced at Klay who sat beside me and crossed his arms. He seemed to notice my stares so he looked at me. I immediately looked away and bore my eyes outside the plane’s window. I still couldn’t believe that he’d come with me knowing how much he hates to be disturbed by just anyone.
“Do you need anything?” He asked after a few seconds.
I immediately shook my head. “Nothing.”
I felt him move and after a while, he put something in my ear. I immediately bore my eyes at him but he just closed his eyes and rested the back of his head on the headrest. That’s when soft music started playing. He put an earbud in my right ear 1
“Just sleep. I’ll wake you up when it’s time to eat.”
”
To stop my silly thoughts, I just squeezed my eyes close to sleep. It didn’t take me long to fall asleep but when I woke up, I flinched as realization sank into me. I’m leaning on Klay and sleeping comfortably on his shoulder.

I heard someone giggle so I lifted my face and found a flight stewardess pouring wine on Klay’s glass. I pressed my lips together as I realized what was going on in her mind.
“Are you a newlywed, ma’am, sir?”

My forehead creased as I stared blankly at the woman. She immediately bowed her head and walked away reaction. I faced Klay after the flight stewardess left.
“She thought we’re a couple, Klay.”
He bore his eyes at me languidly. “Don’t make it a big deal.”
“What? We’re not a couple, Klay. I think you forgot the fact that I’m your stepsister..”

He stared into my eyes with a creased forehead. “I think you forgot what I said last night, stepsister. We’re not blood–related.”
I gasped. “Still…”
“You should know that the more you speak about our complicated relationship, the more I’m tempted to kiss you.”
My jaws dropped. “W–What?”
He glanced at my lips before he stared into my eyes again. “I made myself clear last night, Kelly. I don’t care about the rules.
And if you’re worried about your father, don’t ever think about it. He knows.”
“Huh? He knows what?”
“I have his permission. We’re not gonna end up like naughty step–siblings.”
I gritted my teeth as I glared at him. “I won’t get naughty with you.”
I got goosebumps when the corner of his lips slowly rose. “Are you sure about that?”
“Klay!” I growled at him
He just smirked at me again which annoyed me even more. I averted my gaze from him and just closed my eyes again. Sleeping is better than talking to this moody devil.
I was wearing a black evening dress with a pair of killer heels The slit of my dress on the right side exposed half of my legs The cleavage was low but enough not to expose my breasts I grabbed my pouch and went downstairs. We’re here in my family villa Klay and I agreed to stay here while we’re in this country.

Klay was waiting for me at the end of the stairs. He looked so dashing in his black suit, messy hair, and serious expression.
I pressed my lips together. I feel like his confession affected me and I’m starting to appreciate his physical features.
He offered his arm to me and I immediately held onto him. He accompanied me to the car. We sat in the backseat while the driver started the engine and drove off carefully.
When we arrived at the venue, I was shocked by the huge crowd attending the party. A bitterness crept into my heart as I roamed my eyes around. Our wedding before was held privately, but this? This is just an engagement party but I think some of the big personalities are here. I even saw some people from the media.
What do I expect? Pierce is in love with that woman. Of course, he’d publicize this ‘important‘ event.
My heart raced when I met familiar brown eyes looking at me. He’s standing a few meters away from me and there are people around him. I suddenly felt my throat go dry as I whispered his name in my mind. Pierce…
I flinched when I felt a warm hand on my back. I lifted my face and looked at Klay. His expression was dark and he was also looking at Pierce.
“Kelly!”

I almost rolled my eyes. Lexi was smiling from ear to ear while dragging Pierce toward my direction.
“I’m glad you came, Kelly,” Lexi faked a smile and glanced at Klay beside me. “Is he your boyfriend? You look good together. I wonder how he fell in love with you. Did you….you know, leaving personal things.”
hat you’re very
curious about me,
Lexi.”
I gritted my teeth and looked at her blankly. “I appreciate
Her face immediately went blank. She glanced at Klay and then Pierce before looking at me again. For the nth time, she faked a smile. “I just wanna thank you for taking care of Pierce while I was away. I really appreciate it.”

The corner of my lips rose. “It’s nothing, Lexi. Congratulations on your successful career and successful relationship, by the way. Your plans succeeded.”
I know the atmosphere around us is heating but I don’t care. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Pierce staring at my face but I
didn’t throw a single glance at him.
Lexi cleared her throat and faced Klay. “Hi. I suppose you’re Kelly’s boyfriend. I hope you’ll take care of her. She’s very important to my future husband because they’re good friends. I’m just wondering if you know that they had a relationship before. I guess lust is really powerful.”
I chuckled without humor. “I know right? He enjoyed every single moment with me because I’m good at…everything.”
Lexi looked so angry now. She wrapped her arm around Pierce’s arm, feeling triggered. I shot an eyebrow up and grabbed a juice from the server who walked beside me when Lexi laughed and stopped the server. She grabbed two glasses of liquor
and handed one to me.
“Juice is boring, Kelly. Why don’t we drink and enjoy my grand engagement? Pierce’s family was so excited about this event,
especially Grams Let’s toast?”
I clenched my jaws. She would really do everything to provoke me.
Klay took the glass of liquor that Lexi was handing to me and drank it in one gulp. He looked at her coldly and spoke.” Liquor isn’t very good for a pregnant woman”
My lips parted as I slowly turned to Klay. Shocked, I shifted my gaze to Pierce and he was looking at me with a very shocked
expression
What have you done, Klay?
