Betrayed by Husband Divorced when Pregnant (Kelly and Pierce) novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Chapter 10 A House Without a Home

Kelly’s POV

Looking back at them would just hurt me more. I restrained myself and my chest was clenching again but I won’t let this pain drive me nuts.

I was about to go to my office when someone called my name. When I looked at the person who called me, my mood instantly lightened.

“Chris!” I called happily.

He was smiling sweetly as he walked towards me and when he got the chance, he pulled me for a gentle and warm hug.

Christopher Parker was my college suitor. The last thing I heard about him was he’s become a professional model and actor and he’s built a name in the industry. He’s finally a big star

“It’s really true that you’re working here,” he said and examined my whole. “God! You’re still as beautiful as ever.”

I felt my cheeks heated. I playfully smacked his arm and smiled at him. “What are you doing here? I’m the Vice President here.”

He nodded and smiled widely. His eyes were twinkling in happiness. “I know. How are you? This is Pierce Anderson’s company right? Are you finally together?”

I was taken aback. He knows that I’m in love with Pierce. I told Chris everything when I rejected him when he attempted to court me. He was hurt back then but he accepted my reasons and decision. He’s a good man. A good friend. So I was so sad when he decided to leave the country after our graduation. However, that’s how moving on should be, right?

“Kelly...”

I gave him a sweet smile. “I think there are things that should remain as they are.”

His lips parted as he stared into my eyes. To lighten the mood, I smiled at him again. “Did you come here to visit me or you have a business here?”

He smiled again. “Well, I’m the new model here.”

“You mean you’re our new model for the magazine cover?” I was so shocked. I never had the chance to meet our new models because I was busy with Pierce and his stupid decision of replacing one of our models with Lexi.

He chuckled. “Why do I feel like you’re not happy to see me?”

I laughed at him. “Are you serious? I am happy.”

“If you’re happy then can I have dinner with you tonight? Just...a friendly dinner.”

I grinned. “Sure.”

He punched the air and grinned happily. I couldn’t help but shake my head in disbelief. He’s still bubbly like before.

After office work, as promised, Chris picked me up and we went to a fancy restaurant. We enjoyed catching up when we lost track of time. It was already 10 PM when I realized the time and Pierce had 13 missed calls already.

“I’m sorry, Kelly. I didn’t realize the time. I just missed you so much.”

I smiled at him. “It’s okay.”

“Allow me to send you home?”

I froze because of his offer. I was about to call my driver but I realized I asked him to find me a condo unit. He must be resting by now.

“Okay.”
