Beg

Kelly's

POV

He wants me to stay for a month but I can't last a month without my daughter. What should I do? Klay won't let Phoebe home if I don't agree to his terms.

I palmed my forehead and bit my bottom lip. I was unable to sleep thinking about Phoebe and Snow. Of course, I would always choose my daughter over anyone or anything but the trade shouldn't involve people who are not even involved in my problems in life in the first place.

I've thought of a decision that I don't know if I will regret or not. But I will do this for everyone. I don't care about my revenge anymore. I want peace for the people I love.

I walked towards the glass wall in the room where I stayed all night and lifted the blinds. The beautiful ocean blessed my eyes with its fascinating beauty but I couldn't bring myself to appreciate nature's beauty. This was one the picture I imagined in my head, but not the feelings I dreamed of. I feel so lonely and empty.

The door behind me swung open and even if I don't look, I know who's the person who entered.

Klay, carrying a tray of food, walked in with a bright smile on his face. He put the tray on the bedside table and smiled at me. "Good morning, I cooked you breakfast.

stared at him blankly. He can't just do this and act like everything is okay.

"I wanna make sure that Phoebe isn't hurt before you send her back home."

The happiness on his lips reached his eyes because of what I said. He's not faking it, but I don't give a damn about the things that will make him happy. His happiness is my misery.

"Alright! I'll bring her here this instant." He left happily completely forgetting about the food he brought. I've been famished since last night. I don't wanna eat but if I let myself die of hunger here, I won't see my daughter again.

Slowly walking towards the bed, I took a deep sigh. I just need Phoebe out of here and after that I will think of something I can do to escape here.

The door swung open again just as I started eating. Phoebe's eyes widened after seeing me.

"Kelly!" She ran to me and threw herself in my arms. I smiled and caressed her hair. Phoebe's all grown up. I'm certain she's now 21 years old and she grew up as a fine lady.

I heard her sobbing. "Y-You're alive... You're alive... Pierce was right. That devil is hiding you."

I shook my head and pushed her a little. "Listen, Phoebe. You'll leave this place today."

Her eyes widened again. "What do you mean me? We Kelly. We'll leave this place. My brother would be very happy if he see you-"

"I can't," I cut her off.

Her lips parted as tears pooled in the corner of her eyes again. She shook her head. "You'll sacrifice yourself for me?"

I caressed her cheeks as I stared into her eyes. "I don't wanna stay here either, Phoebe, I have someone I should take care of. Someone I couldn't live without but I have to stay here for everyone's peace."

"No! No! We'll leave together, Kelly. I will not leave you here..." She sobbed. "If...If that asshole didn't threaten me to hurt my mother, I won't even see him...
