| kept my straight face as | ran towards my car. | was about to get inside when someone grabbed my elbow.

Pierce carefully turnedaround so | could face him. He's panting. He looked worried, pained and ...terrified.

"Kelly, it's not what you think-"

"I'm sorry," | paused and swallowed hard. "I-I didn't mean to barge in. | just..."

"Kelly, listen to me. Lexi and I...we're nothing. We broke up years ago. | don't love her anymore-"

"We broke up years ago too..." | whispered painfully.

His grip on my elbow loosened as he stared at my face. "I-l want us...to try again."

"| guess this is not the right time-"

"I can't wait for the right time, Kelly, | didn't kiss Lexi. She just grabbedand kissed me. | didn't even expect

her to show up again after five years. She just barged in my office and did that. Please, believe me

| took a deep breath and stared at his eyes. | saw the sincerity. The love. The fear of losingagain. | know him

when he's lying. | know him when he's telling the truth. | know him too well and I couldn't resist the urge to

forgive him and forget about everything | have seen today.

Without thinking twice, | pulled him closer toand kissed his cheek. | want to kiss his lips but Lexi's lips just

ravaged those.

He was frozen in his place but | felt his hand gently caressing the small of my back and it's soothing. "Am |

forgiven?" He asked, whispering.

| tiptoed and moved my lips closer to his ear. "Givestime. Let us clear our problems in life before we

cback to each other."

When our gazes met, | saw hope and trust in his eyes. He swallowed hard and then slowly.nodded. Please

promiseyou won't unlove me."

| smiled bitterly. "I can never unlove you, Pierce. | tried so hard but | failed all the time."

| saw how his breathing hitched. He stared at my eyes and glanced at my lips. "...badly want to kiss you right

now."

| lifted my arm and caressed his cheeks. "Get rid of Lexi, Pierce. Get rid of anyone who's keeping us apart. | want

to be happy. Please grant my wish."

"I will. Please wait for me. Don't get tired. Don't...fall out of love."

outside watching us. | want to feel him. | want him to assurethat it's onlyfor him. | want to hear it from

his own lips that he lovesand that he will accepteven when | know myself that I've changed and |

beca different person because of the pain that I've been through.

It's true. Pain changes people but | guess not the feelings.

| stared at him for a little while before | got in my car. glanced at him before | drove off, somehow

unworried.

| was okay while driving home, but my heart almost stopped beating when | saw a huge fire eating the

condominium tower where I'm leaving.

My mind fell into chaos and I can only think about my daughter. | parked the car abruptly and ran towards the

burning entrance of the tower when the firemen blocked my way.

"Ma'am! Ma'am, you can't get inside."

"NO! MY DAUGHTER! SHE'S INSIDE. PLEASE LETTHROUGH."

Tears rolled down my cheeks as | pushed the firemen but they're stronger than me. | tried to slap them and use

all my strength while shouting my daughter's name. | couldn't think straight. | couldn't think of anything but my

daughter. | would throw myself into the fire willingly just so | can save my baby. | can't lose her. I'd die.

"KELLY!" | heard a familiar voice behind me.

I saw Emily and | grabbed her arms desperately. "Emily, help me. My daughter...My...d-daughter. She's in....

inside."

"Kelly, no. She's not inside. She was with me."

| breathed through my trembling lips as | stared at her with tears in my eyes. My vision was blurry and |

immediately wiped my wet cheeks because of what she said.

"W-Where is she?"

She smiled and caressed my hair. "She's safe, Kelly. | brought her to the hospital because she inhaled smoke but

she's fine. Ana's with her."

| sobbed and nodded at her. "T-Thank you... Thank you so much, Emily."

She nodded. "I figured you'd conce you hear the news so | rushed back here. I'm sorry | didn't call you. |

panicked when the fire broke."

| swallowed the lump in my throat. "1...wanna see her."

"We'll use my car. I'm gonna drive."

| nodded and followed her. | looked back at the burning tower and bit my bottom lip. | thought I'd lose her.

When we reached the hospital, | immediately hugged my daughter. She was scared but she's fine. I-talked to the

doctor and he said there's no complications and everything about Snow is normal. | was about to go back inside

Snow's hospital room when | saw Pierce running fast towards my direction.

He was panting hard when he stopped in front of me. "Theard what happened. How's Snow?"

| nodded thankfully. "She's safe."

He heaved a sigh of relief and clenched his jaws. "Thank God! How about you? Are you okay?"

My phone started vibrating. My mood instantly changed after | saw the familiar number registered on the

screen.

| lifted my face and looked at Pierce again. "Let's talk later. | just have to take this call."

He nodded, "Can | see her?"

I smiled. "Of course,"
