Betrayed by Husband Divorced when Pregnant (Kelly and Pierce) novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6: Chapter 6 Bear the Brunt

Kelly’s POV

I walked out and went to the bedroom. I grabbed a pillow and blanket. I turned and was about to leave when Pierce entered the bedroom and looked at me.

“Where are you going?”

I looked at him sharply. “Why do you care?”

“I care because you’re my wife, Kelly!”

A sarcastic laugh came out of my mouth because of what he said. I looked at him with rage. “We’re divorcing anyway.”

“Kelly, you can’t just run away like this. We have to talk about the problem.” ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

“I don’t have a problem, Pierce. It was you who had a problem and you created it, just to remind you.”

He grabbed my wrists and kept me in place when I tried to leave. His jaws were clenching as his eyes bore at me angrily. “My father is angry, Kelly. He’s accusing me of cheating on you.”

I tilted my head, “Are you not?”

His forehead creased. “I am not an asshole, Kelly. Did you see me kissing her or fcking her? I still have my sanity with me. I won’t go intimate with her as long as you’re carrying my name—”

“Frankly speaking, I’m not carrying your name, Pierce,” I cut him off. He was taken aback because of what I said. “No one even knows that we’re married.”

“Kelly!”

“Don’t worry. I’ll talk to your family about this. I will tell them that I’m no longer happy with you and I want a divorce.”

He swallowed hard and stared into my eyes. “Y-You’ll do that for me?”

I laughed without humor. “I’ll do that for myself.”

“Wait, Kelly...”

I pushed his hand away and shot him cold stares. “What?”

He looked down and licked his lips. He looked really guilty now and from that moment, I saw the man I fell in love with. I saw my best friend.

He sighed and walked towards me. He gently grabbed my wrist and wrapped his arms around my tiny body, giving me a warm and apologetic embrace.

I felt him kissing my hair as he whispered... “I’m sorry... I-I was stupid for lashing out at you. I was just...worried about Lexi. You know my father, he would ruin her.”

I squeezed my eyes closed. You’re afraid that she’d get ruined but you’re not even worried that you’re ruining me. I want to punch him. To hurt him and hit his head with the hope of waking him up.

“Stay here, please. Sleep beside me, Kels...”

That’s my cue. I pushed him away and hugged the pillow tighter. I looked him in the eyes and shook my head, “There’s no reason for us to sleep together, Pierce. I’ll be sleeping in the guest room.”

“Kels...”

I turned my back and left him in the master bedroom. I went straight to the guest room and dropped my exhausted body on the bed. I caressed my cheek, thinking I was crying unknowingly again but there were no tears. I’m in pain but I’m not crying anymore. Is this the stage of heartbreak where you’re getting used to the pain and you’re just accepting it wholeheartedly? Pathetic! I feel like this is just self-pity.

“Kels...” Pierce’s voice was followed by three knocks. He tried to open the door and I’m so stupid for forgetting to lock it.

He entered carrying a tray of food. He pressed his lips together and walked towards me. He stood beside the bed and looked down at me as if weighing my reaction.

“I brought your dinner. I heated it too. I’m sorry for interrupting your meal.”

My eyes landed on the tray of food. He never let me eat alone before. Even if he was full, he would eat with me especially if I cooked the food.
