Chapter 22: Chapter 22 The Devil

Pierce’s POV

“KELLY!” I shouted as soon as I opened my eyes. I had a dream about what happened after I talked to Kelly’s dad over the phone. He told me about the threat in Kelly’s life and I came to save her but…

“Son…”

I saw mom beside me. She worriedly caressed my cheek. “You’re in the hospital, son.”

My forehead creased as I roamed my eyes around. “Where’s Kelly?”

Her lips trembled as she shook her head slowly.

My heart almost stopped beating as I saw her reaction. “MOM!”

“S-She was taken by her family. Her father is furious, son…”

“What? Mom, I need to see her. I need to know if she’s okay.”

“No, Pierce. You can’t see her for now. Her father is–”

“I don’t care about her father, mom. I want to check on my wife–”

“Unfortunately, you have no right to call her your wife, Pierce.”

I suddenly felt cold as I saw my father sitting on the couch, looking at me with a blank face. I swallowed hard.

“You lost that chance the moment you agreed to divorce.”
