Betrayed by Husband Divorced when Pregnant (Kelly and Pierce) novel Chapter 89

Chapter 89: Chapter 89 Far Away From You

Pierce’s POV

I’m exhausted, dizzy and sleepy when I got inside Lexi’s condo unit. Mom was the one who greeted me and she looked worried.

I held her shoulders and hugged. “Mom. Where is she?”

“She’s still in the bathroom. How’s Kelly? I’m sorry. I just couldn’t convince Lexi to come out.”

I nodded at her. “You can go home now and rest, mom. I’ll handle this.”

She nodded. “Okay. Talk to her calmly. Whatever your decision will be, I’ll be here to support you.”

Clenching my jaws, I nodded again. After mom left, I knocked on the bathroom.

“Lexi...”

“Pierce?” Her voice was shaky and hesitant.

I took a deep breath. “Come out. Let’s talk.”

The door swung open and Lexi threw herself at me. She looked so happy but when I pulled her arms from my neck, her smile slowly faded.

“Let’s talk about us now.”

She smiled again. Her eyes twinkled. “You’re here because you chose me, right? Let’s get married. I already chose my wedding dress and your—”

“Lexi, I want out.”

Her forehead creased. “What?”

I clenched my jaws and sucked my breath as I stared into her eyes. “I’m tired of this, Lexi. I’m sorry.”

“What? What?” She screamed. “What are you saying? You can’t do this to me, Pierce! I will really kill myself this time!”

I laughed sarcastically. “So, I was right? This was just your scheme?”

Her lips trembled as she realized what she just said. She slowly shook her head and tried to touch my cheek but I took a step back and looked at her with anger.

“No! No, Pierce. You can’t do this to me. You can’t leave me!”

Tears rolled down her cheeks. I don’t wanna hurt her more. I can’t be with her when my heart yearns for Kelly. This will make the both of us miserable.

“I’m sorry, Lexi.”

“No, Pierce! No! No! I can’t live without you. I can’t...”

I shook my head. “I can’t stay with you anymore.”

“No!” She burst into tears and tried to reach me again but I took another step back.

“This is my fault,” I said. “If my feelings weren’t messy, this would never happen to us.”

“Pierce, please... Don’t l-leave me. I-I won’t pull this stunt again. I-I can’t live without you. Y-You know how I fought for us. You set me free, Pierce. You gave me another reason to live. If you leave me, what’s the point of this life?”

I walked towards her and squatted in front of her. I caressed her cheeks. She remained sitting on the floor, so weak, helpless and crying.

“P-Pierce...”

“You deserve someone better. Someone who will love you the way you deserve.”

“No! You’re the only one for me...”
