What She Needs Pierce's POV I took a deep sigh and scratched my cheek when I saw mom in the dining hall, sitting while watching something on her ipad. My forehead creased after I heard a familiar voice from the ipad.
Mom glanced atand worry filled her expression. "Son, how's Snow?" "She's fine. What's that, mom?" I asked curiously and walked towards her. I kissed her cheek before I pressed my palms on the table and stood beside her.
"Look at this, son. This is Lexi's interview. She suddenly appeared after went missing and she's telling the media that the issue about Kelly and Klay Carver circulating around the inteis true. She said the child is Klay Carvers." I sucked my breath and sat on the chair beside her. "Don't mind her, mom." "Pierce!" Mom looked atand dropped her ipad on the table. "I can't ignore this. I treated her well when you're together and she's going to do this? I can't believe her." ""Mom..." "No, Pierce! And she's even dragging my granddaughter in this mess. How immature!" I stared at mom's face. She's worried, I know. "Mom, I know dragging the child in this mess is wrong. I won't tolerate that, but Snow is indeed Klay Carver's kid." She pressed her lips together and stared atguiltily.

What if Kelly sees you?" "She did." She gasped. "Son, you can't make the smistake as before!" "Mom, I'm not. I already talked to Kelly and she listened to my explanation this time. She gavea chance. She wantsto fix my life first before we get back together." "Really?" A hope flickered in my eyes as I smiled and nodded. "Yes, mom. I felt it. Her heart. She madefeel that she loves me. She fell in love with me, mom. It feels... euphoric. Mom smiled and gently caressed my shoulders.
Kelly is my life and Snow has becmy hope. Before, I thought there would be no chance for us anymore. However, Snow gavehope. She maderealize that I still have a chance to win this fight without even doing anything.
"She's callingdaddy," I whispered happily as I looked at mom again.
"Son..." "Hmm?" She held my hand as she sucked her breath as if she's having a hard time. "What if... Snow is your daughter?" What She Needs 2/3 I stared at her as my heart skipped a beat. I know there's a possibility but I know Kelly won't do that to me. "Mom, are you afraid my feelings and treatment for Snow will change just because she's my rival's child? Mom, I love the kid like my own child. She's becone of my treasures." "No, Pierce. I mean...what if Kelly, like, hid the truth from you because you hurt her and she's afraid of getting hurt again? What if... Snow is yours and..." "Mom!" I held her hand and she looked atworriedly as she sighed and bit her bottom lip.
I know my mom very well. She's hiding something and she's trying to make amends for hiding something from me.
I clenched my jaws. "Mom..." She gasped and let go of my hand. "I'm sorry... I guess I'm just too...paranoid and scared for Snow. I...I'm trying to find a way to bring Kelly back to us." I sighed. "I know you're guilty because of the past, but lethandle this, mom. This happened because of me, anyway. Because I couldn't figure out my real feelings. Because I was too stupid to let the real love I have go. Now, I'm trying to make things right. Kelly will cback to me. This tnot because I need her to fix my broken heart, but because I love her and I want to take care of her forever." kissed her cheek again before I went She nodded and gavea satisfied smile. I caressed her back upstairs. I took a bath before I dropped my body on the bed and squeezed my eyes closed.
I left Kelly in the hospital with Caleb Walter. I don't wanna leave her there with that man, but I don't wanna suffocate her. I don't want her to feel that she's not allowed to entertain another suitor just because I'm courting her. She's still single so it's just right, but I won't deny that I feel suffocated whenever another man's near her.
I fell asleep and it's already 7 PM when I woke up. I went downstairs while caressing my neck when I saw Phoebe walking towards the door, wearing short skirts, rubber shoes and a cropped shirt. "Phoebe!" I called strictly.

She sighed lazily. "I'm just going out with my friends. Dad and mom approved." I shot an eyebrow up. "Be sure to be hbefore midnight." "Pierce, I'm an adult!"
"I know," I said, annoyed as I proceeded down the stairs, "Still, you should be responsible and don't break mom and dad's trust." I sat on the couch as she looked atfrowning. "You won't stopfrom going out?" ""Why would I?" -She smirked. "I knew Kelly's a good influence on you. Got to go. Bye!" "Callwhen you need a ride." "Got it! Love you, brother!"
I just smirked and shook my head. I realized she needs freedom too and I trust her. I trust that she won't do I something that can harm her or hurt her. I
Mom called for dinner after that and then I went to the company to do spaperwork even though it's the weekend. It's already midnight when I got home. I didn't knock on Phoebe's door because I trust her, X
