Betrayed by Husband Divorced when Pregnant (Kelly and Pierce) novel Chapter 25

Chapter 25: Chapter 25 A Stick Called the Truth

Pierce’s POV

I’ve been waiting for Kelly in front of her family’s villa. I know Klay Carver would bring her here. I just don’t know when. I never heard anything about her again after I left the hospital where she was admitted. I was beyond crushed that day. I have no strength to even move. It was Lexi who brought me back to the hospital that day.

I sighed and gripped the steering wheel of my car thinking I have to go home disappointed again. Just when I’m about to go home, I saw a group of cars approaching. I swallowed hard as I felt my heart race. She must be there.

I couldn’t move as I watched the group of cars. Hope filled me when I saw Klay Carver get out of the car. I know Kelly will come out next and I was right but I felt like everything around me disappeared and my world stopped spinning when Carver wrapped his arm around her waist and...they kissed.

My breathing hitched as my vision started to darken. My heated conversation with Klay Carver in the hospital came rushing back in my mind. The way he confidently tells me that Kelly doesn’t hate him. The way he smashed my face with the truth that he was her first. The way he crushed my confidence and made me so fcking insecure.

I felt something in the corner of my eyes as I gripped the steering wheel.

I started to breathe heavily as I averted my gaze from them and buried my face on the steering wheel. “Why did you do this to me, Kelly?”

Why does it have to be him? I’ve always been protective of her but I’m confident that no matter who courts her, she would always come back to me because I’m important to her but with Klay Carver...I know I’m no match for him.

I lifted my face again as anger took over me. My eyes landed on the two rings on my finger. Because of anger, I took it off and threw it on the floor of the car.

I sucked my breath and balled my fists. I drove really fast to the nearest bar and drowned myself in alcohol.

Kelly always came back when I was drowning myself in alcohol. She became my salvation and the only person who listened to me. She brought me hope and I wish she’d come tonight to knock some sense in me but she didn’t.

Bitterness crept into my heart as I thought of the possibility that she was sleeping with Klay Carver while I was drowning myself in alcohol.

“Goddamn it, Kelly!”

My vision was spinning when I got home. My forehead creased when I saw someone waiting for me. It was Lexi.

“Pierce!” She ran to me worriedly.

Right! I should direct my attention to Lexi. I waited for this woman to come back. She was the one I wanted even before. I should move on and forget about Kelly.

I squeezed my eyes closed as my chest tightened when the image of Kelly and Klay Carver kissing.

Maybe it’s time for us to drift apart. I’ve been protecting Kelly all these years. Maybe it’s time for me to step back and let her have the life she deserves. If she has feelings for Klay Carver, it’s her chance to be happy. It’s our chance to forgive each other and live a life of our own.

I should...let her go.

I was taken aback when Lexi suddenly kissed me. The warmth of her lips enveloped my cold lips.
