Kelly’s POV
I know my words were rude and cruel but I can’t think of anything to make him stop. He needs to stop because he’s already getting married and I promised his mother that I won’t get involved with him anymore. I know I hurt his mother before when I told them I wanted to divorce Pierce and I don’t want to disappoint her again even when I think she didn’t really consider me as her daughter like what she told me before.
Pierce was stuck and confused with my words. I used that chance to turn my back on him and just as I was about to leave, a car stopped in front of me.
I know this car and I confirmed my hunch when the passenger seat’s window rolled down, revealing the man sitting behind the steering wheel.
“Get in,” his voice was cold and low just enough for me to hear.
My forehead creased. Annoyance filled me as I thought about him following me all the way here. I clearly told him that I want to go out alone but he’s here already? I wasn’t even gone for a day.
He must’ve sensed that I wanted to just ignore him. He glanced at the person behind me and whispered... “You must’ve told him we’re together. You’ll blow up your cover if you walk away from me.”
Left with no choice, I slipped myself inside the passenger seat. I swallowed hard after putting my seatbelt on and rolling the window up. From the corner of my eyes, I could still see Pierce standing where I left him but I have no intention of going back or even looking back.
“Is this why you go out?” Klay broke the silence as soon as he started driving. “To meet him?”
My eyebrows furrowed as I slowly turned to him. His face was darkened with irritation and his eyes were sharply directed to the road. His grip on the steering wheel was so tight and I feel like he would lash out on me anytime if I pick the wrong words. However, I’m not scared of him anymore.
“I’m not responsible for your thoughts. Think whatever you want to think.”
I jumped in shock when he slammed the steering wheel. “Bullshit, Kelly!”
I looked at him in disbelief. “I won’t explain anything to you, Klay! I already told you I want to live my life—”
“And then what? Go back to him?”
I balled my fists. “You’re impossible!”
“It’s you who’s impossible, Kelly! Didn’t you tell his mother that you already have someone? Why are you with him?”
My lips parted in shock. “You’ve been stalking me?”
