My Best Friend Left Me After 23
The Accidental Kiss Kelly's POV
"What is this?" asked coldy after Luke handed me a magazine. I was sitting on the couch while eating an apple when he came, car, ig a magazine.

I glanced at the magazine before looking at him coldly again. "You want me to reminisce about my life where I'm free and not locked in a huge mansion with a barbaric bodyguard and bunch of armed mer"
He stared at me, completely unfazed. "just thought you wanna know about what's going on with the company where you used to work."
My forehead creased. I angrily snatched the magazine and opened it. My lips parted
and my heart skipped a beat after I saw a photo of Pierce. He looked so fierce and handsome in the picture but the content broke my heart. He stepped down as the President of the company. His father is now the one handling the company.
I looked at Luke, swallowing my pride. "Do you know why he stepped down?""
He shook his head. "It wasn't disclosed to the public."NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
"I need to go back to him..."
"He doesn't know you're alive, Miss."
"That's because you replaced me with a different woman who looks exactly like me!" I growled at him.
"It's for your own good. Your death will make your enemies lie low."
I shook my head. "Your sick plan left collateral damages. I will never forgive you."
"I know, Miss...
I balled my fists when he turned his back and started walking away. I bit my bottom lip as I started at the magazine again. Pierce's handsome face is making my heart race. His eyes were fierce and dark and as if looking through my soul. I feel like I'm staring at the live version of him and not the photo.
"I miss you, Pierce. I'm sorry that you have to get through this because of me. I
love you, love. So much..."
I don't have plans on staying in the same house with my own father but I don't have a choice. Even if I deny it a million times, Luke was right. Whoever my enemies are, they want me
gone and they won't stop until they see me dead. Now, they believe I'm dead, so they would leave Prce alone. Pierce almost died with me and our baby. God! Our family almost died together and that's all because of my mysterious enemy. I have to stay hidden, but I don't wanna stay here. I will find a way to hide
somewhere far from my father.
"Where are you going?" I was caught by Luke one day when I attempted to sneak out again.
I clenched my jaws and faced him. There's no point in denying. I tilted my head. "Do I have to explain to you how I plotted to escape?"
The whole subdivision is guarded by your father's men."
"That's why I made a plan," I answered and grabbed his arm. I pressed the blade of the knife I'm holding on his throat.
"You might get hurt, Miss-"
"Shut up or I'll slit your throat!" I growled at him. "Walk."
He didn't budge and it made me even more irritated.
"I said walk!"
He started walking slowly while I'm beside him, keeping the knife on his throat. The guard on the front door looked at us in shock when they saw us approaching.
"Let me through or I'll kill this man in front of you."
One of the guards looked me in the eyes and answered without blinking... "The order to us was clearly to keep you safe here, Miss. Even if you kill him, wel don't give a damn."
My forehead creased. I was so shocked with what he said. "What? You'll let him get killed?"
"I will die happily in your hands, Miss..." Luke whispered.
I looked at him angrily. Since when did he learn to speak like that? He was an emotionless bastard three months ago. He caged me here without even
thinking about what I'd feel. Now, he's talking as if he suddenly got his humanity back?
I pushed him in so much anger and threw the knife the floor. He stared at my face as if weighing my reaction.
Anger took over me. I took a step closer to him and slapped him hard without a word. He licked his lip as he slowly looked at me again. I
stared at him blankly as I caressed my three month baby bump. He's been keeping me here for three months and whenever I try to escape, he would alway catch me.
"That tastes like hatred," he said nonchalantly.
"I wish I could make you taste hell through my punch next time.
I went to my room and dropped my body on the bed. I hugged my pillow and stared at the ceiling. I couldn't cry anymore. I just realized one day that my eyes are tired of crying and it's time for me to stand up for myself and for my baby.
My father doesn't know that I'm pregnant. It was only Luke who knew and that's probably one of the
reasons why I can't really allow him to get killed. I still have my trust in him even when he betrayed me once. He's been keeping my secret and helping me keep it. I'm just thankful that my baby bump is smaller than normal ones so it was easy to hide it behind oversized sh Someone knocked on the door and I rolled my eyes because I knew who it was
"Time for lunch. Open the door, I brought your lunch.
I gritted my teeth. Luke has been acting strange since two weeks later. He
seemed to care now unlike before that he acts like a machine
I opened the door and stared at him. He knew that I couldn't starve myself because I'm carrying a baby inside me. So he's using my baby as the reason to piss me off.
I grabbed the tray and turned my back on him. I was about to kick the door close when he said something that made me still.
"I have news about Mr. Anderson."
I immediately faced him as I swallowed hard. "How is he?"
He crossed his arms and rested his arm against the door frame. My forehead creased when he stared into my eyes again. He always looks me in the eyes and there are times that it's making me uncomfortable. "He's been receiving treatments for a month now."
My forehead creased as my heart almost stopped beating. "What?"
"He lost it when he lost you.
I cupped my mouth. "Oh God!"
"You still have to stay here though.
"L-Luke_please_
"I found out who caused your accident. It was your sister."
My eyes widened "S-Sister?"
So, my half sibling is a she?
"The group of people who attacked us in your condo are sent by different person, though
"What are you talking about?"
He stood straight as he kept his eyes on mine. "I will tell you everything, but you have to put your trust in me
I clenched my jaws. "The last time I trusted you, you fed me to a shark."
"I could only trust that shark, Miss. The sea has so many monsters and that shark is the only one who can hide you in his mouth. All to keep you safe."
"Why are you doing this, Luke? Why are you protecting me? You said three months ago that you swore your loyalty to my father. Then, why take my side now? Why are you hiding my secret?"
"Your secret doesn't have to do with my loyalty. And I already told you, I am your monster.*
