POV
He wantsto stay for a month but | can't last a month without my daughter. What should | do? Klay won't let
Phoebe hif | don't agree to his terms.
| palmed my forehead and bit my bottom lip. | was unable to sleep thinking about Phoebe and Snow. Of course, |
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 | don't know if | will regret or not. But | will do this for everyone. | don't care about
my revenge anymore. | want peace for the people | love.
| walked towards the glass wall in the room where | 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 | imagined in my head, but not the feelings | dreamed of. | feel so lonely and empty.
The door behindswung open and even if | don't look, | 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, | 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 | said. He's not faking it, but | 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. | don't wanna eat but if | let myself die of hunger here, | won't see my daughter
again.
Slowly walking towards the bed, | took a deep sigh. | just need Phoebe out of here and after that I will think of
something | can do to escape here.
The door swung open again just as | started eating. Phoebe's eyes widened after seeing me.
"Kelly!" She ran toand threw herself in my arms. | 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.
| heard her sobbing. "Y-You're alive... You're alive... Pierce was right. That devil is hiding you."
| 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-"
"l can't," | 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?"
| caressed her cheeks as | stared into her eyes. "I don't wanna stay here either, Phoebe, | have someone I should
take care of. Someone | couldn't live without but | have to stay here for everyone's peace."
"No! No! We'll leave together, Kelly. | will not leave you here..." She sobbed. "If...If that asshole didn't threaten
"You sacrificed yourself for your mother and | understand you because I'm gonna sacrifice myself for my
daughter."
She was taken aback. She stared atwith a shocked face.
"Listen, Phoebe," | paused and looked around. | already checked the whole room last night. There wasn't a single
hidden camera in this room and I'm somehow relieved by that. "I need you to go hand look. for Luke. Tell
him that | sent you and he will bring you to my apartment. My daughter is there and she needs someone to look

"K-Kelly_"
| smiled at her. "Please take good care of my angel, Phoebe. She's the reason why | kept fighting. She was my
hope when | was drowning. Please don't let her drown too."
"Kelly, don't do this, please..."
| squeezed my eyes closed. "Please, Phoebe."
"But... What if... What if he hurts you?"
| stared into her eyes. "He won't hurt me."
Her lips trembled. Still the crybaby | know. "B-But..."
| cupped her cheeks again, making her still. | smiled. "I promise you | will not die here. I still have al daughter to
raise, Phoebe. | won't give up on my life that easily."
She sobbed and slowly nodded. She huggedso tight again and | smiled as | caressed her hair. At least | have
another person to trust when it comes to my daughter. I'm relieved that I'm temporarily leaving my daughter to
a trustworthy person. Phoebe's still hesitating to leave and leavehere. I'm scared of being trapped here too,
but I have to do this.
| was watching Phoebe as she got in the chopper. | felt someone standing besideand | gritted my teeth as |
watched what Klay's men did to Phoebe after she entered the chopper.
"Is that blindfold necessary?"
"I'm just making sure that she won't cback here with her stupid brother, Kelly. Unless you want my men,
scattered around the island, shower them with bullets until their blood taints the beautiful ocean."
| faced him with blank eyes. "You know | was wrong when | thought, long ago, that you still have a chance. You
are obvious! a hopeless case."
| turned my back on him but he grabbed my arm, stopping me.
"We can settle this by givinga chance, Kelly. Say, do you wantto kneel and beg for your forgiveness? |
will do it."
| stared at him blankly. "Then beg."
He suddenly kneels in front of me. His eyes were begging but instead of shock, | felt anger. Does he think it's
that easy? That if he begged, | would forgive him and forget everything? My father died. | suffered, running away
from him. "Please forgive me, Kelly. Giveanother chance. | will be good."

looked at him with hatred and without saying anything, I turned my back and left him in that room. If on my
conscience would allowto kill him with my own bare hands... Slough of Despond
Kelly's POV
It's just 5 AM when | decided to go out and swim. | saw an infinity pool and might as well enjoy my stay here-my
imprisonment, | mean. | saw hundreds of clothes in the walk-in closet of the room I'm staying in and I'm currently
wearing black two piece. | don't wanna look like I'm having fun here, but I'm already in the prison world. Should |
make myself feel down until | can no longer grasp hope?
Hope. | laughed in my head as | continued swimming. Snow is the only hope | have and | tried asking Klay to let
When | got tired of swimming, | went back inside the house. | met Klay in the hallway with messy hair and a
creased forehead.
"Where were you?"
| stared at him and touched the knot of my bathroom. "Swimming is forbidden too?"
He sucked his breath and looked away. | saw his jaws clenched but | didn't care. So what if he's will piss him off
until he can no longer stand me.
| walked past him, planning to go back to my cozy but lonely room when he spoke.
"This chase will not go anywhere, not even a progress, if you continue doing this."
pissed? |
The corner of my lips rose and | scoffed because of what he said. "And you really think I care about that?"
"You won't be able to see your daughter if you continue resisting me, Kelly. You will be trapped here for as long
as you refuse to forgive me."
| gritted my teeth and took a very deep breath. | faced him with tears pooling in the corner of my eyes because
of anger. He was looking straight into my eyes as if he's waiting forto face him after he provoked me. So,
this is what he wants. To provokeand shakeemotionally so I'd give in to him and agree to whatever he
wants. He cannot do this to me.
"So that's your plan? To takeaway from my daughter and tortureemotionally until | can no longer hold
my sanity together?"
Amanda is in jail after it was proven that she killed my dad, but Klay, even as an accomplice, didn't get charged.
He wa mmediately released and | kinda expected that. That's why | asked Emily a favor to do plan B in case my
initial plan fails. I just hope she's fine or we won't be able to finish this mess.
| don't wanna live in fear anymore. I'm tired of running away, hiding and keeping my baby in the dark. | want the
best life for my daughter and | won't be able to give her that if Klay is still here, chasing me, wanting forgiveness
that | don't think he deserves. "I don't wanna do this too, Kelly. But | have no choice. I'm desperate."
lifelessly nodded. "Nice plan."
"Kelly..."
J continued walking, ignoring him. | sobbed after | closed the door of the room I'm using. | rested my back
against the closed door and covered my mouth, suppressing my sobs. | won't give him the satisfaction of/
makinggive up on hope. | need to get through this and end his evilness so | can be with my daughter again.
