Betrayed by Husband Divorced when Pregnant (Kelly and Pierce) novel Chapter 2

Chapter 2: Chapter 2 It Never Rains but It Pours

Kelly’s POV

I got off the bed and tried to leave but Pierce grabbed my hand. I immediately wiped the tears that rolled down my cheeks before he could see them. He stood in front of me and looked at my face as I tried so hard to look down and avoid his eyes.

I felt my heart breaking into pieces. I thought... I thought I could make him fall in love with me within those three years together. I thought his feelings would level up and would see me as a woman rather than just a best friend. I was stupid for hoping and dreaming so high.

I failed. No matter how hard I tried, his heart belonged only to his first love Lexi.

“Kelly...”

I sucked my breath and swallowed the pain as I looked at him. I faked a smile, “I need to wash up before eating.”

He stared into my eyes as if trying to figure out what I was thinking. I know he knew me too well so I tried so hard to hide my pain and smiled at him.

He sighed and let go of my hand. “Okay. I’ll wait for you here. Let’s eat and go to work together.” fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Together? How cruel could he be? He still wanted us to get along like he didn’t ask for a divorce? He wanted us to stay the way we were right after he told me that his first love was back and he wanted to divorce me?

Oh Pierce, what was going on in your head?

If I used to be able to force myself to stay in the seat of his best friend wishing him happiness, I no longer had that courage after the three years we'd shared. There's no way I could endure that kind of torture again, especially when I'm carrying his baby.

The baby...I had thought it was good news for us but now...it would be more like a burden to him, I guess. A burden that would prevent him from getting his true love and freedom.

I knew how an unwanted child to grow up. My parents were divorced even before my mother died and the new family of my father hated me and it hurts like hell. I don’t want my baby to experience the same thing I felt. I need to keep my baby away from it.

I faked a smile again. “We can’t. I need to visit the studio for the photoshoot of our new models...”

“I’ll go with you—”

“No.” I pushed his hand. His eyes followed my hand before he lifted his face to look at me again.

“You have some documents to sign. Our schedules are already organized, remember?”

“But...”

“I have a personal driver, Pierce. I’ll be fine to go alone.”

He sighed and slowly nodded. I turned my back on him and entered the bathroom. I immediately opened the shower and stood under the cold water. Tears cascaded down my cheeks as I covered my mouth to suppress my sobs.

My shoulders were trembling really badly and when I thought about my baby, I swallowed hard and tried to calm myself down. I wiped my face and caressed my belly. I need to be strong. I need to stay calm. I shouldn’t put my baby’s life on the line just because I got my heart broken. I have to deal with this smartly.

I sucked my breath and finished my bath. When I got out of the bathroom, I was shocked to see Pierce was still there. He was struggling to fix his tie in front of the full-length mirror. I also noticed my pair of heels and dress on the bed.

“Hey! I picked your dress for today.”

Since our marriage wasn't public, Pierce said he would try to do little things for me as a husband. He did it well and I used to enjoy these sweet moments but now, it was going to kill me.

I grabbed the dress and went inside the walk-in closet. I felt him following me. I put the white dress back and picked a red one. When I faced him, his forehead was creased.
