Kelly’s POV

The shooting in the mall has reached the national television and a clip where I was caught running away with Klay was exposed to the public. The people who know us and our family are spreading speculations that I have a secret relationship with my stepbrother and that my daughter is his child. Speculations about this happened before and it’s happening now. The people are strongly convinced that Klay is the father of my little girl, especially because they knew that Pierce and I did not communicate for a few years.

“Don’t let this affect your relationship.” Mom, Pierce’s mom, said as she gently caressed my back. I was sitting on the lanai with her while Pierce and Snow were in the pool area with dad, and Phoebe.

“Mom, I don’t know what to do.”

She shook her head. “Don’t let this affect you. My son loves you and he knows what happened. That’s what’s important.”
