The Devil Inside Me
Kelly's POV
I grabbed Klay's arm and dragged him out of my father's room after he brought a doctor to put my dad
into sleep.
"What was that. Klay?
that, Klay? Why does he look so angry at you? I mean....his. his eyes. They're furious, Klay. Did you see that? He was trying so hard to reach you as if he's gonna kill you if he did. Why did he act like that? Tell me." dat me
He clenched his jaws and stared into my eyes intensely. I feel so irritated that he's just looking blankly and not giving me answers.
"Klay!"
"He's angry because you're here, Kelly," he answered calmly.
My forehead immediately creased. "What?"
He clenched his jaws again while his eyes were sharp, I don't know but I'm seeing the old Klay again. The
cold and ruthless version of him.
"He's angry because you're here, Kelly. I told you he doesn't want you to know about his condition. He's angry with me because I brought you here."
I pressed my lips together as I remembered him telling me about this. He said he had to lie to me because my dad doesn't want me to worry about him.
I palmed my forehead as I slowly calmed down. Klay patiently held my hand and pulled me closer to him. When he wrapped his arms around me, I felt comfortable. I immediately squeezed my eyes and that's when I felt the exhaustion. "You should take a rest, Kelly. I'll send you to your room."
I shook my head and rested my face against his chest. "I want to be there when he wakes up again."
Klay's hand gently caressed my hair. "I'll wake you up once he wakes up again."
I looked up at him. "But..."
I felt a sudden electricity all over my body when he pecked on my lips and caressed my cheeks. I was looking up at him and he's looking down at me. Right! He's my boyfriend so it's natural for him to worry.
"You're pregnant, Kelly. You need to rest."
Slowly, I smiled and gave in. He nodded and gently lifted me from the ground, carrying me in a bridal way as he walked towards my room. My father has houses in a few countries and I still remember him bringing me to this house. He likes to travel a lot so he bought houses in every country he wished to stay long
Klay gently put me on the bed. I was staring at his handsome face as he put a blanket on me. The pendant of his necklace touched my neck. It's an anchor and I liked it on him.
When he looked at me, our gazes immediately locked.
He held my chin and gently pressed his lips on mine, immediately wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back.
The kiss was short and light but I felt his heart. I smiled when our lips parted.

"Thank you and I'm sorry for lashing out on you."
He shook his head and tucked my hair behind my ear. His eyes were intently watching me.
"I understand what you're feeling, Kelly. Get some rest now. I'll wake you up later."
"You should rest too. You're tired," I answered,
He smiled and shook his head. "I'll wait for your dad to wake up. I need to make sure he's okay. Only then I can rest."
I nodded as I yawned. "Okay. But if you want to sleep, you can sleep beside me."
Twill, babe. Sleep now. I love you."
His words sent shivers down my spine. I peck on his lips and whispered, "I love you too."
This is real. I have fallen for him and I hope he will be my last because if he hurt me just like what Pierce did, I don't know if I can still forgive.
*** Klay's POV
I clenched my jaws and fists while watching Mr. Monroe sleeping. He looked miserable and that's what I want. I want him to suffer. I want to see him falling painfully. I want to see him watching me taking away all the things he treasures including his daughter. just planning to use Kelly against her father, but my feelings for her unexpectedly intensified. It was beyond my plan, but I intend to keep her.
Mr. Monroe will pay for what he did to my mother. He will fall completely and Kelly will be collateral damage. However, I will keep my girlfriend out of this. I will punish her father without her realizing it because I know that if she learns about all my plans, she will leave me. I sat on the single couch, still looking at the sleeping old man on the bed. He looked very old, sad and miserable and I enjoy tormenting him while he cannot do anything. He had a stroke and it's my chance because I can easily push him to the pit of hell where he belongs. I crossed my legs as I dragged the shot glass on my lips. The bitter taste of the alcohol roughly touched my throat just like how this cruel life put me on a rough road.
A few hours passed until I heard Mr. Monroe grunting. He was looking at me with fear. Fear for his daughter, not for himself.
With devilish eyes, I pulled myself up and walked towards the bed. I stared blankly at him.
"Hmm! Argh!" He kept on grunting and saying words I couldn't understand. I bet he's cursing me.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Your daughter?" I asked coldly.
He stared at me and I chuckled evilly.
"Don't worry. Your daughter is safe with me. I will love her for the rest of my life."
Rage crossed his eyes. I can see his determination to save his daughter but Kelly doesn't need to be saved. She's safe with me because I truly love her. It's just that...she happens to be the daughter of the person I hate the most.
"I will marry her, Mr. Monroe. I will never leave her alone and pained just like what you did. I will never abandon her. I will never hurt her just like what you did. She's definitely safe with me," I added.
"Argh!" He grunted angrily and tried to lift his arm to reach me. He was able to grab the sleeve of my polo, but he's too weak.
The Dead Inside Me
I smirked at him as 1 slowly bent down and looked him in the eyes. I pushed his hand away and tilted my head a little, wanting to see more of his fear.
"Argh!"
"You should live longer, Mr. Monroe. You should walk your daughter down the aisle and hand her to me. You shouldn't die because you still have to see your grandchildren from your daughter as she will be the mother of my children. And you should watch how I take everything that belongs to you. Your freedom, your life, your wealth, and your daughter. They all belong to me now and that will torment you more, right?"
He shook his head desperately as tears rolled down his cheeks. I stood straight and looked at him coldly. You shouldn't have hurt my mother in the first place. You created the devil inside me. You created a monster that will crucify you in the end.
