Chapter 72
Klay’s POV
B5 vouchers
Kelly has been ignoring me and it worsened after I talked to her last night, threatening her with her father’s
life.
I puffed my cigarette and stared at the air. I was sitting on the single couch inside the study room. There are folders and papers scattered on the floor behind the working table and I know Kelly did this.
She already found out about Amanda’s scheme and she also learned about my plans.
I don’t wanna hurt her. Heaven knows I don’t. I love her. So damn much but I couldn’t bring myself to forgive her father for what he’s done to my mom.
I gritted my teeth after I remembered how she looked at me with nothing but hatred and disappointment.
She already fell for me. She loved me but her anger was so intense that she forgot about it.
I can’t blame her. It was all my fault. I did this to us. I hurt her. But am I really the one to blame for this? I just want to avenge my mother’s cruel death. Her father killed her. I just want to give my mother the justice she deserves.
Taking a deep breath, I grabbed my phone after it beeped.
I massaged my temple after I received a report from my right hand man that Kelly has stopped contacting different lawyers.
She’s planning a counter attack but I won’t let her because once her plan succeeded, she will leave me. I don’t want her to leave me. I want her to stay by my side.
I dropped my phone and stared at the ring she threw at me that night. The first time I felt my heart breaking into pieces was when I saw my mother’s cold body and the second time was when Kelly threw this ring back, refusing to take my love again.
The promise ring I gave her. This symbolizes my genuine love for her. I will do everything to protect her but I can’t do that if she leaves me.
Why won’t she forgive me?
*** Kelly’s POV
Klay was sitting resting his back against the kitchen counter while I’m on the dining hall, eating my lunch. I can feel his stares but I’m ignoring him even when I can feel his shameless stares.
If I hadn’t learned about his evil plans, I would’ve felt so stupid smiling from ear to ear right now because of what he’s doing.
After eating, I went to the sink carrying the utensils I used.

“I’ll do that,” Klay offered but I ignored him.
I started washing the dishes and I flinched when I felt his hand on mine, stopping me.
What he did brought millions of irritations and made my blood boil.
“Let me do this, Kelly.”

Irritated, I threw the sponge on the sink and washed my hands. I turned my back on him and stormed out of the kitchen while I felt his eyes on my back as I left.
I went upstairs but I saw Amanda walking down the stairs.
She smirked at me and stopped in front of me, blocking my way.
“Klay must be annoyed now that you’re being a brat. You’re still really a baby, huh? Daddy’s girl.”
I balled my fist and stared at her blankly. “Why don’t you go and throw yourself at him now that he’s free? You can have him all for yourself.”
Her eyes flickered with irritation. “You think so highly of yourself, huh?”
“Why not? I know my worth.”
She smirked again as she looked at me from head to foot. “You think Klay really loves you? He just wants your body, Kelly. He’s always like that with his fck buddies. He won’t let them go until he’s completely done with them and you’re not an exception.”
I felt something in my heart. I loved Klay and it’s not easy for me to forget about those feelings. Nevertheless, I’m somehow thankful that I discovered his evil plans earlier. I would have regretted it a million times if I happened to discover his intentions after we got married.
“You think I care about that? I’m done with him so you can have him again,” I said, trying so hard not to show emotions because after everything, pride is the only thing that’s left in me.
Amanda rolled her eyes. Irritation was visible in it but after she saw my baby bump, she laughed sarcastically and moved closer to me.
“I have another thing to tell you, Kelly. But don’t be so shocked.” She smirked. “Klay is planning something against your baby.”
My eyes sharpened as I looked her in the eyes, “What do you mean?”
She crossed her arms, “Did you really think Klay would accept someone else’s child? Come on, Kelly! That’s Klay Carver. He’s a devil who possessed all the seven deadly sins.”
“Shut
up, Amanda!” I angrily growled at her but she remained unbothered.
It seems like she’s just trying to scare me off but I couldn’t ignore the possibility that what she’s saying is real. I don’t know what to believe and what to feel anymore. My head is about to explode.

“You don’t believe me? Well, it’s up to you. But don’t blame me if your child ends up dead. I warned you.”
I laughed sarcastically. “You just want me gone, Amanda. You’re itching to have Klay and my father’s wealth all by yourself so you’re doing everything to make me leave. Sadly, I won’t believe you.”
“It’s up to you, then. Just make sure that you can bear to lose a child and don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
I gritted my teeth as my sharp eyes followed her as she walked downstairs.
I don’t want to believe her but she’s right. Why would Klay accept someone else’s baby? He just lied to me because he wants to execute his plans perfectly. Without his evil plans, he will never accept the child inside me. He’s self–centered, greedy and evil.
I chewed my bottom lip as I went inside my father’s room, bothered about what Amanda said.
