Day two of hiding in Emily's house. I feel like it's already a thousand years. Living alone is really not for me. I feel like I'd lose my mind every time the hands of the clock move. I was just thankful that I have a baby. At least I can pass my time talking to the life inside me, While sitting on the couch and eating a sandwich that made, I turned the television on and was alarmed after I saw Klay and Emily's photo on the headline news.
'Current CEO of Monroe Group of Companies and the heir of Gold Empire, getting married."
My eyes widened in shock because of the news. Emily didn't tell me about this. What is this?
Following the news was the live interview of Klay and Emily.
I feel like I had goosebumps when I looked at Klay's eyes, looking straight into the camera. I feel like he's looking at me and his stares are giving me a terrific feeling.
Swallowing hard, I sat straight on the couch and waited for the interview to start. I was listening carefully as the host introduced the two and finally mentioned their upcoming wedding.

"You really shook the whole business industry with your announcement. Does this mean you've been in a relationship?"
I stared at Emily's face as she opened her mouth and spoke. "This is unexpected. I didn't even know I'm about to get married."
She doesn't know about that? I do not have enough background about Emily but looking at the situation, I can tell that her family has a name in the business industry. I worked in Pierce's company before. Why didn't I hear about Emily's family? Even if it's not the same country, I would've known if they're powerful. Emily shifted her weight and I noticed the large print on her blouse. She crossed her legs and looked at the camera and smiled sweetly. "Once I marry this hunk, I will not let him go. Goodbye to those who're fantasizing about him."
I pressed my lips together as Emily laughed with the host. I turned the television off and pulled myself up. I looked around. Tomorrow is the day. I'm still scared that Klay might find me but I will take this opportunity to escape. Emily was right. Three days is enough for Klay to find me. If Emily's family is really powerful, I think Klay is marrying her to broaden his connection.
My passport and plane ticket came before midnight. didn't see who delivered the parcel but I assume It's because Emily wanted it to be delivered secretly.
I slept early that night and as soon as the sun showed up the next morning, I prepared myself to leave. I wore the disguise Emily told me to wear. I ate breakfast and cleaned the house, not wanting to leave any trace about me staying here.
I rode a bar all the way to the airport terminal. The clothes I'm wearing were hiding my baby bump and truly, no one would recognize me like this.
Inside the airport, while I was on the line, I suddenly felt suffocated. My disguise wasn't heavy or uncomfortable but I feel like I can't calm down. I feel like something will happen and it was proven by my heart that has been beating so fast. My breath became entangled so I had to excuse myself for a while and went to the restroom. I locked the door and stared at my own reflection in the mirror.

"Don't be scared, Kelly. He won't find you like this," I whispered to myself as I swallowed hard and pressed my palms on the sink.

1 cupped my forehead. I'm having a panic attack and I feel like I'd lose my consciousness because of this.
Why do I feel like this?
Caressing my hidden baby bump, I took a very deep breath and calmed myself down. I need to leave and survive. I need to escape from Klay. I still have to save my father from that devil and I need to deliver my baby safe and alive. "Just like that," I whispered to myself again and nodded.
When I calmed down completely, I went back to the line.
"Excuse me, did you see this woman?"
I looked at the unfamiliar man who asked me and looked at the photo in his hand. My heart almost jumped out of my ribcage after recognizing the woman in the picture. "Miss?"
I quickly shook my head. "No."
My hand trembled as I handed my passport to the security. Squeezing my eyes closed, I felt my legs and arms tensed up.
Klay is searching for me and he must've known that I'm planning to leave the country.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Because of what happened, I grabbed my small bag tight and started walking straight, not looking back or looking around, not wanting to be caught and brought back to that hell again. at on the bench as I reached the waiting area. My legs were trembling and I'm certain I'm pale. I took

When I lifted my face to look at the television, my world crumbled and tears pooled in the corner of my eyes. My lips started trembling as my body froze in place because of what I'm seeing. 'Director of Monroe Group of Companies found dead after jumping off the window of his house"
Tears cascaded down my cheeks like a riv
as I dropped my passport and my hands trembled like crazy.
A photo of my dad was shown on the screen of the television. Is this why I feel so hesitant to leave and couldn't calm down?
"D-Dad..." I whispered and almost thought of going back when someone sat beside me and pulled me closer.
The scent of the man who hugged me filled my nose and the familiar scent and touch made me cry so hard on his shoulders while started caressing my hair in a gentle way.
