View MoreKelly's POV Our car rolled to a stop right In front of the supreme court. Daniella stepped out with a baby cart. She opened it up and put Ivy inside. I stepped out with Camille bay my side. We exchanged smiles and walked into the court. Alex's car approached a few minutes later and he walked into the court room, seating a few seats across from me.The courtroom was filled with quiet murmurs from all walks of life. I could feel the tension in the air. I smiled at Camille, as we made our way to the front. Daniella sat close to me, rocking Ivy gently in her cart while giving me a reassuring smile. Daniella was like a precious gem. She played the role of a mother perfectly to Ivy for five days. I touched her thighs gratefully.I glanced across the room and found Alex already watching me, his presence calming my nerves. He gave me a small nod and then smiled as if telling me I wasn’t alone. Of course I knew I wasn't alone in this. I had him, our pumpkin, Daniella and Camille.Taking a d
Kelly's POV One week later.“I am confident I can hold her, Alex. It's been a week and I have added four kilograms to my former weight. I am strong enough.” I sat up straighter in the hospital bed, my voice filled with quiet determination. Alex's worried eyes softened, but he wasn't convinced. He hesitated, hovering close while taking in every detail of my face. I could tell from his soulful brown eyes that he was still worried I might break. I stretched out my arms expectantly, my heart pounding as Ivy’s little giggle filled the room. “Please, Alex. I am strong enough to hold her. You worry too much.”Finally, Alex sighed and placed her gently in my arms. Warmth spread through me instantly. It was electrifying and tears were pricking my eyes. I kissed her soft cheek, whispering, “Mommy’s here now, pumpkin.”Ivy giggled and I hugged her, sniffing her natural fragrance. “Today Martha is hearing at the court by noon. I would be attending with my lawyer,” Alex said firmly, his voice
Kelly's POVThe gun shot rang out, loud and deafening, echoing through the walls like thunder. My whole body froze, my feet rooted beneath me, my ears ringing as the smell of smoke filled the air. I squeezed my eyes shut, certain that the bullet was aimed at me and that this was probably the end of the world for me. But when I slowly opened my eyes only to realize I was still standing. With a trembling hand, I reached for my temple and touched it, no wound, no pain, no blood. Wait…..what?Why am I still standing?Who was the gunshot for?.I turned slightly and there was the almighty Adrian staggering back while clutching his chest. Fresh blood seeped through his shirt as his gun slipped from his hand.Relief and shock wrecked my body at once.I am alive!I am alive!I shouted in my head and without thinking, I bolted forward, my legs moving based on my instinct and without warning, I threw myself into Alex’s arms. His arms wrapped around me instantly, strong and steady, as if he
Kelly's POVThe twisting of the door knob forced me out of unconsciousness.The door creaked and Adrian stepped in, holding a plate of food. He placed it nonchalantly on the floor, the content spilling on the floor. I stared at the unrecognizable substance in the plate that was both nauseous and disgusting I raised my head, our gaze locked.“Let me go, Adrian.” I muttered with the falling strength I had in me.This was my fifth day in captivity without food and barely a few drops of water to quench and sustain me. My meals were always served at the same time, twice a day but I couldn't bring myself to eat it. It couldn't be poisonous and was highly unhealthy.Adrian grabbed a handful of my hair.“Shut up and eat, your arrogant fool.”Adrian’s grip on my hair tightened, but I refused to let him see the pain in my eyes. My lips curled into a weak, bitter smile. “Take your poison and eat it yourself, Adrian. I would rather die of hunger than to swallow a crumb from this filthy prison o

Alex’s POVI stared at Kelly, waiting for her to say she was joking.She wasn’t.“You must be joking when you said you want to see the gang. I'm correct right?” I repeated slowly, watching her carefully. She should be joking.“No I'm not, I want to be there, I want to meet people you're close to, d
Alex’s POVThe night air was thick with tension. I had let Kelly go without a fight, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t worried. I knew she needed space, but I couldn’t let her slip away too far. Not when everything around me was beginning to unravel.I've had security follow her, and when I confirmed i
