The Threat Kelly's

POV

"Are you okay? Did she hurt you?" Klay asked worriedly after Amanda walked out on us. My eyes followed her as she stormed out of the dining hall while Klay stayed by my side, looking at me with worried eyes. "Kelly..."

I took a deep sigh and looked at him as I palmed my forehead. "I feel like she's planning something against me."

He looked alarmed because of what I said. He stared into my eyes intently.

"Don't think about it too much. She just wants to annoy you."

"She won't annoy me without a reason, Klay. I know she hates me and I feel like she's planning something against me. She wants to get rid of me." He shook his head, "Kelly..."

I shrugged my shoulders and pressed my lips together. I feel like he doesn't believe me. So I had to shut my mouth and think about it on my own.

"Sit down. I'll prepare your breakfast. What do you want?"

"Just..." I took a deep sigh. "...just fresh milk and bread.

"Okay. Just sit and calm down."

I didn't say anything. I just watched him as he put bread on the toaster before he poured fresh milk on the glass.

We didn't talk much over breakfast. After that, Klay left after kissing me goodbye. I just gave him a small smile as he left. After he disappeared from my sight, I went upstairs to see my dad.

I panicked when I didn't see him on the bed. A maid came in, and bowed her head at me.
