Bestfriend Divorced Me When I Carried His Baby (Kelly and Pierce)

Lies After Lies Kelly's POV

I was checking the footage of the surveillance video again when I accidentally pricked my own eye with my finger. I groaned and obed my eyes but it worsened. With my other eye, I saw Luke coming towards the direction. "What's wrong, miss?"

"I pricked my eye."

"Allow me to check."

I put my hand down and lifted my face a little. He was hesitating to touch my chin but in the end, he did so he could properly check my eye.

"It's reddish now. Should we go to the hospital?"

laughed at his suggestion. He stood straight when I laughed. I grabbed my phone and opened its front camera to check my eye.

"I just pricked my eye. It's nothing serious, Luke."

My forehead creased when I saw Pierce walk past my office with an angry expression. I couldn't see properly because my eye felt sore but I'm certain it was him. What's wrong with him?

I just shrugged my shoulders and ignored him. I checked my eye again when my assistant knocked and entered. She was carrying a glass of juice and pasta. I asked for it because I suddenly craved pasta.

Luke helped her and she immediately left. As soon as Luke put the pasta on my table and its aroma reached my nose, I suddenly felt sick.

"Miss?"

T

I cupped my stomach and ran to the comfort room. I retch as soon as I get in front of the sink. I didn't throw up anything but I suddenly felt weak.

When I lifted my face, I saw Luke behind me through the mirror. I squeezed my eyes closed and washed my mouth before facing him. His face was serious. but I know what he's thinking.

He offered his hand to me

without saying anything. I'm relieved because he didn't say anything. I accepted his hand and he accompanied me to sit on the couch when the door swung open again. This time, Pierce entered with rage. dancing in his eyes. His face was dark and his jaws were constantl "Is this what you're planning, Kelly? To anger me?"

My forehead creased as I looked at him. "What are you talking about?"

He angrily pointed at Luke. "Why are you kissing him?"

My jaw dropped. "What?"

"Don't you dare deny it, Kelly! I saw you two kissing!"

I balled my fists as I gritted my teeth. I don't know why he thinks that way but he must've saw Luke checking my eye and he misunderstood it.

"I should wait outside, Miss."

Pierce watched Luke with sharp eyes as he left while I watched him with sarcasm. He thought I would do that just because he did that to me. I can't believe he thinks so low of me.

I stared at him blankly. The man I love is vanishing. I feel like he's becoming a different person. I can't

understand him anymore. I can't understand the way he thinks now. I feel like he's losing his trust in me even when I should be the one acting like that. He betrayed me. I should be the one confronting him about doing

something immoral. He even brought Lexi to the house where I used to live. How shameless was that?

He took a step closer and angrily pointed his finger at the door. "Can't you do that somewhere else? Huh? Does it really have to be in the company? What if my parents come here? What if they see you kissing another man? What would they think?" "They would think it's normal since we're divorce," I answered nonchalantly.

"Fck! They don't know about that, Kelly!"

"Then I will tell him-"

"Do you think that's easy? My father will kick me out of the company if you tell them. He will do anything in his power to put me through hell as punishment

for divorcing you."

"Are you that scared to be poor, Pierce?"

"I'm not scared to become poor! I'm scared of what he might do to you for disobeying him!"

I was taken aback by what he said. I stared at his hdsome and angry face. He still cares about me. He's scared that his control freak father would do

something to me just because we divorced.

I slowly pulled myself up and met his sharp eyes. "I'm not scared of your father, Pierce. And you know that your grandparents won't allow him to do something bad to me. Is that how you see your father? An evil man?"

He gritted his teeth. "He was never good to me, Kelly. I've been through hell because of him."

"Then you can get away with this again."

"Kelly!" He angrily grabbed my arm when I attempted to walk past him.

"You'll tell them?"

I looked at him with exhaustion. "We can't hide this forever, Pierce. We have to be honest with them, especially with your grandparents. And aren't you worried about Phoebe? She's hiding our secret. Won't you help her ease the guilt she's feeling for hiding this?" He shook his head. "You'll leave completely once they learn about this..."

"Of course."

"I don't want you to leave..."

My lips parted as I stared at his face. I laughed without humor after a few seconds. "Do you expect me to stay by your side after everything? Pierce, wake up. We're over."

"We just ended our romantic relationship, not our friendship. Please, Kelly..."Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

"Did I say something like that?"

"Don't outsmart me, Kelly. Please... I'm serious here."

"Don't I look serious?"

He let go of my wrist and messed his hair up. When he looked at me again, his eyes were sharp again. "You're always like this. Whenever we're having an argument, I'm always the one ending up on the wrong side. I'm always the one. apologizing." "I'm sorry?"

"Kelly!"

Probably because of my pregnancy that I'm losing my cool whenever he's around. I feel irritated whenever I see him but when he's not around, I'm longing for him. This is crazy.

He sucked his breath and licked his lips. He clenched his jaws and looked at me with tired eyes. I felt hurt. He's tired of me. Of course, I know that. I understand where he's coming from. He's angry because he thought I betrayed him. He's angry because I never listen to hi I swallowed hard and looked him in the eyes. "I'm going to your grandparents' house the day after tomorrow. I'm gonna tell them everything. Please be there." "Don't do this, Kelly."

I smiled wryly. "I'm gonna resign as soon as I tell them the truth."

His eyes widened. "No... No..."

"I need space, Pierce. I need time to heal. You betrayed me. You hurt me even though you're saying that I'm your best friend. I'm just asking for a year. After that, we can be friends again."

That's a lie. I don't have plans on going back. Once I leave this country, I won't ever come back. I want to stay hidden. I want to be forgotten. Iwant him to let go of me completely because I will never accept the only thing he can offer to me which is friendship. This lets
