Betrayed by Husband Divorced when Pregnant (Kelly and Pierce) novel Chapter 11

Chapter 11: Chapter 11 Bad Blood

Kelly’s POV

I had packed my thing and was waiting for my driver to help me get my luggage. I was at the main door when I heard a loud thud in the kitchen. My forehead creased as I looked at the kitchen entrance. The light wasn’t turned on so I couldn’t see if someone was in there.

“Pierce?” I called as I started walking slowly towards the kitchen.

“Kels...” A familiar voice mumbled my name and I immediately pressed the light switch.

I gasped when I saw Pierce sitting on the floor while pulling his hair. He looked really in pain and he immediately groaned when the light flooded the whole kitchen.

“Kels, the light...please...”

Without saying a word, I dimmed the light and I walked towards him. I sat beside him and held onto his knees.

“Is your head aching?”

He nodded. “Hmm.”

“I’ll get your medicine—”

I was about to leave when he grabbed my hand and pulled me closer. His forehead rested on my shoulder and he leaned on me as if I’m the only one he needed. This is what he always does whenever his migraine attacks him. He would come to me and sleep in my arms until he’d better.

“Pierce, your medicine.”

“I...already took one.”

I was able to breathe properly because of what he said. I put my hands on his back and started tapping his back gently, comforting him.

“Can you...stay...for tonight?” He asked with a hoarse voice.

I could never say no to him when he used that face to plead. I sighed and nodded. Letting the driver bring my baggage to my condo, I returned to Pierce. I caressed his cheek, wiping his sweat. His t-shirt is soaking wet with sweat. Even his hair is wet.

“Let’s go upstairs,” I whispered in his ear.

“I don’t know what to do, Kelly. I miss my grandma but she doesn’t want to talk to me.”

I gently caressed his hair. “She will eventually understand.”

“I don’t know. I feel like I’m losing everyone. I feel like...I’m trading you and my family with the woman I truly love.”

I squeezed my eyes closed. I don’t know if you’re just so innocent, Pierce, or you are purely dumb. Of course, you will lose me. You chose to lose me.

I did not speak again after that. He fell asleep in my arms and I had to ask the guard to help me get him to the bed. I stared at his handsome face after putting a blanket on him. I have to stay for tonight since I know I won’t be able to sleep in my new house if I leave him in this condition.

I slept in the guest room and I woke up at 5 in the morning. I took a bath and that’s when I realized that my clothes weren’t here anymore. I palmed my forehead and went to the master bedroom only wearing a bath towel around my body.

Pierce froze on the bed as soon as he saw me. He just woke up and his hair is really messy.

His lips parted as he stared at my face. “Y-You’re here... It wasn’t a dream...”

I glanced at his closet. “Can I borrow clothes?”

He cleared his throat and immediately nodded. “Yeah, sure. I’ll just...take a bath.”

I nodded. “Okay.”

“Uh, Kelly...”

“Hmm?”

“Thank you. For staying.”
