A Trust That Once Broken
Kelly's
POV
Emily, who's standing behind Snow, laughed with amusement as she looked atand Pierce alternately. "Is this
a cback?"
| frowned at Emily. She smirked and fixed her eyes on Pierce. "You're divorcing your wife?"
| gasped. He's married?
Pierce scoffed and growled at her. "I was never married... to her, Emily."
| bit my bottom lip. | was disappointed when I thought he's married. Stupid, Kelly!
Pierce glanced atworriedly but I didn't look at him. | kept my eyes away from him because | feel like he saw
my reaction a while ago. I just indirectly rejected his love but here am I, acting like a stupid girl.
Emily laughed again and that's when Mary stepped out of the kitchen. She was showing how shocked she was
while looking at us, particularly at Pierce. She must've recognized him as a CEO of a well-known successful
company.
Pierce ignored Emily and walked slowly towards Snow, My daughter was just staring at his face as if memorizing
him. | swallowed the lump in my throat as watched them. My heart was beating so loud and fast. | feel like I'm
losing my consciousness. "Hi," Pierce greeted Snow nervously. He was kneeling in front of her while she's staring
at his face.
| gasped as | watched them. Snow looked exactly like me, so | doubt is Pierce would think that she's his daughter.
However, | trust instinct more than facts that could be manipulated.
"I'm Pierce. Your nis... Snow, am | right?"
Snow's eyes widened. "You know me? Are you my mommy's friend?"
Pierce chuckled and nodded. "Yes."
"Nice to meet you, Pierce!" Snow hugged him happily.
| looked away as | felt something in my heart. The corner of my eyes turned hot and I felt like it's about to water.
Snow likes it when I introduce a friend to her. She always welcomes them with a gentle hug just like now.
Pierce chuckled and caressed Snow's cheek. "I was with your mommy when she gave birth to you. You were...so
small that day. I-I never thought I'd see you again..."
Snow smiled even sweetly. "Are you the prince in Martha's story?"
"Huh?" Pierce glanced atwith confusion.

| don't know what to do or what to say.
"| asked Uncle Luke but he said he wasn't the prince. Does that mean it's you?"
Pierce licked his bottom lip before he smiled at her. "What did the prince do?"
"He married the princess and they had a baby."
1 sucked my breath. | don't know if | should blfairytale stories for this smart deduction of my
daughter or what....
"I'm not the prince, sweetheart. I'm the knight | guess. Pierce said happily.
A Trust That Doce Broken
"There's a knight? Martha didn't tellabout him."
"Maybe the story isn't over yet."
"Really?"
"What about..." Emily clapped her hands and smiled. "we leave now because it's getting late?"
| nodded at her. "Right! We should leave now."
"Leave?" Pierce stood straight and looked at me. "Where are you going?"
"Uhm... We're moving out."
Pierce's lips parted as he nodded and glanced at Snow before he lookedin the eyes again. "I can... offer a
ride. If it's okay?"
"To tell you honestly, loverboy," Emily interrupted again and showed her car keys. "...I got a car. I'm rich and I'm
gonna send them to their new home. So you better go htoo, drink your anxiety medicine, sleep and have a
nice trip to wonderland." "Pierce can go to wonderland?" Snow asked innocently.
| smiled and carried her before | looked at Pierce again. "Emily will help us, Pierce. | think you should go home.
Your parents must be worried by now."
He stared at Snow for a while before he nodded. "Okay... Bye, sweetheart. I'll visit you again sother time."
Snow giggled. "Bye, Pierce!"
After Pierce left, Emily looked atand tilted her head. | looked away. "Don't look atlike that."
"Your wall is so...very...vulnerable."
| sighed. "Emily, | can't shoo him away."
She smirked. "Con, love. Let's go to the car."
She took Snow from me. "We'll be waiting in the car. The people I hired will chere to get your belongings."
| just nodded and watched her leave carrying Snow. When | looked at Mary, | saw how shocked she was.
"Mary..."
"You know Mr. Anderson?"
| bit my bottom lip and nodded. "Yes."
Her eyes widened as she cupped her mouth. "Don't tellhe's..."
-covered her mouth and shook my head as | frowned at her. "Don't even talk about it, Mary."
She gasped. "Oh my God! How about Mr. Walter?"
"What?"
She held my shoulders and lookedin the eyes. "Whoever you choose, I'll catch the one you didn't."
"Mary!" | chuckled and pinched her side.
She giggled and cupped her cheeks. "Gosh! | know you're a goddess, but I didn't know I'd see that. Obviously
those guys have a thing for you. How lucky!"
A Troof That Crico Broken
| just shook my head. "Why don't you just help me, Mary?"
"Sure! That is if you agree to seton a date with your handsbabysitter. What do you think?"
| smirked at her. "You're really Interested in him, huh?"
"More than how interested Mr. Walter is in you."
