Chapter 21 The Chase Is Over
Chapter 21: Chapter 21 The Chase Is Over
Kelly’s POV
"How dare that bastard film my wife!" He almost growled the words but I felt nothing but disappointed.
Knowing what a dangerous person Chris might be, he just put him beside me to wait for more mistakes. He didn’t care if I would get harmed at all. What he cared about was only his own benefit!
I angrily wiped the tears that rolled down my cheeks in so much anger. “I don’t fcking care who he is, Pierce. He violated my privacy. Stole my personal things and creeped me out. I won’t wait for a chance. I will do anything I can to put him behind bars immediately!
"You call yourself my husband and best friend but you let a very dangerous man near me?" I shook off his hands and looked into his eyes coldly, "What a mockery.”
He gritted his teeth as rage flickered in his eyes. He rushed to the studio and I just watched him with balled fists. As he disappeared from my sight, I took a taxi home.
I shouldn’t count on him anymore. He couldn’t even protect me properly.
***
I stared at the television playing the news. Chris got arrested the very night after I told Pierce about the stalking, stealing, and filming. Chris was covered with bruises and obviously, Pierce beat him up.
See? He could deal with it quickly as long as he wanted. He just didn’t put his best before. I was never that important to him.
The reason for Chris’ bruises and reasons for his arrest remained a mystery to the public. His fans and the other people in the industry are now concluding made-up things but no one got the right reasons.
I took my phone out when it beeped. I gripped it when I read a message from the same unknown number that had been sending me messages.
I don’t wanna talk to him but he keeps on insisting on meeting. I already removed him from my life the moment he betrayed me and chose his other family.
He’s my father. He was a perfect father for me not until I learned about his sins.
Sometimes, I couldn’t help but wonder if every man I loved had to be proved a scumbag in the end. I hate this!
I fell asleep on the couch when the main door opened violently.
"What the hell are you doing, Pierce?" I angrily questioned him.
Pierce rushed to me and held my wrist. “I need to take you go, Kelly. Your father contacted my mother. You’re not safe here.”
"What? Ahh--!" I screamed as I covered my ears. Someone started firing us bullets outside from the window.
Pierce immediately covered my body with his own after flipping the couch to block the bullets.
“Let’s go, Kelly.”
I nodded and we started running away. He gently dragged me to the emergency exit until we reached the parking lot. We stopped when we realized there was a group of riders waiting for us.
“Pierce...” I gripped his jacket.
He clenched his jaws and snapped his fingers, and another bunch of people showed up. As the two groups started to confront each other, Pierce pulled me into the car and drove away.
“What the hell is going on, Pierce? Who are they? Why are they there at my house?”
“I don’t know who sent them but clearly, they intend to harm you. Your father wants to tell you but he couldn’t reach you.”
My father? I finally remembered those calls that I ignored. I tried to find my phone but it all happened too suddenly.
“Oh god, I left my phone in my condo.”
“Don’t worry, my phone is right there and just use it." Pierce reminded me as he drove on the way. With the next turn, we’d be onto Coastal Avenue. And I quickly grabbed his phone.
"What’s the pass-" I swallowed my words as my finger already unlocked the phone with the numbers I carved in my mind. The date of our wedding anniversary. He hadn’t changed it.
The air suddenly came to silence and he spoke as he noticed my look.
“I’m sorry....Kels.” He glanced at me with guilt and pain in his eyes. “I’m sorry that I didn’t know what happened. I’m sorry that I allowed him to get near you. I-I’m sorry, Kels. I’m so sorry. Please, don’t leave me.”
“Pierce...” I whispered his name with pain.
“I don’t wanna lose you, Kelly.”
I looked away. “Let’s talk about this later. I need to call—”
I was about to press the call button when I saw Dad’s number and suddenly, a strong force hit us from behind. I almost hit my forehead on the dashboard but Pierce immediately shielded me with his own body. The collision was so strong that the car bumped the barricade and flipped over.
My vision started spinning as the car rolled down somewhere. Pierce has lost his consciousness and even when I tried to wake him up, he wouldn’t wake up. I tried to unlock the seatbelt when I realized we landed on the water and were about to drown but I couldn’t find the lock.
Oh God! Please...please, no!
The water was quickly swallowing the car and us too but I couldn’t do anything. My body was becoming weak as I felt pain in my lower abdomen.
No! No! Not my baby!
What do you think?
