My Best Friend Left Me After 24
A Stick Called the Truth
Kelly's POV
"Does my father know that his daughter wanted to
me?"
Luke shook his head. He was peeling the orange and giving it to me. I'm sitting on the bed while he's sitting on the chair beside my bed. I ate lunch while he's telling me everything he discovered. "He doesn't know anything."
My forehead creased. "Are you sure?"
"If you can't trust your own father, you have to trust me."
"Why would I trust you again?"
"Because you don't have anyone to trust other than me?"
I gritted my teeth as I stared at his serious face. I snatched the piece of orange and put it in my mouth. I chewed it with anger and he just sighs.
"Can you still wait a few more months?"
I looked at him angrily. "Damn it, Luke! Do you still have plans on setting me. free? I've been waiting for three months now!"
"Your sister wants to kill you. Mercilessly."
'Then we'll kill each other!"
"Can you kill?"
I was rendered speechless. I couldn't kill because I'm not a criminal.
"I know you can't because you never stained your hands. Our priority now is your child, Miss. If you don't value your life anymore, at least think about your child. You have to understand." "Luke, I'm trying to understand the situation even when it's so hard. I'm trying to understand why I should be kept here instead with my family. I'm trying, okay? But I'm not some camel who can adapt to a deserted environment. I can't understand! You are so confident that y "Didn't you hear what I said earlier? Your enemy is your own sister and the group of criminals who abducted you when you're a child. Your father's other r father is the key to your child and your father's old enemy. You get me? Your father is the key to your survival." "How? When I'm being chased to death because of him?"
"Those criminals couldn't get closer to your father so they're attacking you. And your sister won't suspect that you're here because she knows that your hate him."
I looked him in the eyes. "My father won't let me go.
"Exactly! We can't deny that your father is a powerful man. Even more powerful. than Mr. Anderson. He won't allow anyone to hurt his precious daughter."
I laughed sarcastically. "You think I'm his precious daughter?"
"He's planning to give his company to you. One of the reasons why your sister hates you to death,"
My jaws dropped as I shook my head. "How did you know all of these?"
"I'm his most trusted man, right?"
"No, Luke..." I continued shaking my head as I realized what he's been doing. Oh, God! He'll kill you if he finds out you're betraying him."
For the first time ever since I met him, I saw his smile. He smiled at me genuinely as his eyes, for the first time too, mirrored the emotions he's feeling.
He pulled himself up and carried the tray with empty plates. He looked at my face as I looked up at him. His face is back to serious mode again.
"I'll go out for a while to buy your vitamins. Do you need anything?"
I slowly shook my head with parted lips. I gasped and held my breath when he suddenly leaned down and slowly pushed my chin up, closing my half open. mouth.
""Be right back."
stared at his back as he walked away and finally left my room. I swallowed hard and squeezed my eyes closed. He's siding with me. I don't know if that's good news or bad. He'll get killed. All because he's protecting me.
A Suck Caled the Truth

Days and months passed like a wind. I'm still trying to adjust even when I know I couldn't. My father is
going back two months from now and it's already my due date. Luke never leaves my side. He's with me all se days and months that I'm struggling on my own. I had to endure everything just so I can safely deliver my baby into this world. After this, I can finally fight my ener "Kelly..."
I don't recall since when he started calling me by just my name and not his legendary 'miss' but it somehow made me comfortable.
""The doctor's here."
I looked at him. "Are you sure my father won't find out?"
He was quick to nod. "I handled it perfectly."
I smiled at him even when I felt weak. My stomach has been aching and I know that my baby is eager to come out now.
Luke went to my side and held my hand. The pain suddenly attacked and I immediately bit my arm as I suppressed my screams.
"No! No!" Luke pulled my arm and gave me the pillow instead. "Don't hurt yourself."
A tear escaped my eyes as I looked at him. "It hurts."

"Ah!" I cried and bit the pillow. The female doctor lifted and parted my legs. I screamed again as the pain continued and I felt like being ripped apart. I felt something getting out of me and I immediately knew what it was.
"AHHH!" I screamed on the top of my lungs as I gripped Luke's hand and bit the pillow so hard. It wasn't long enough until I heard a baby crying and for the first time, I'm thankful that this room is soundproof.
I was panting as I looked at the infant that the doctor was carrying. A smile crept on my lips as tears rolled down my face again.
"M-My baby..."

Luke went to the doctor and waited until she gently handed him the baby. Luke went back to my side carrying the tiny infant and when he put my baby beside me, I felt my heart skip a beat. My baby is a boy and he looked exactly like his father. Oh my God! "What would you name him?" Luke gently asked.
I smiled again as I stared at my handsome baby. "Hello, little angel. Welcome to the world. Thank you for being strong, baby Pierre Anderson."
