Bestfriend Divorced Me When I Carried His Baby (Kelly and Pierce)

When the Tables Have Turned

Kelly's

POV

I took the opportunity to leave when Pierce paused in shock after what I said. I glared at him one last time before I opened the door and slammed it close.

How could he try to touch me after everything that happened?

Oh God! I couldn't believe him! He's really changed. The old him would never disrespect me that way even when he's angry. The old him would lower his voice the moment he realized his mistakes and would immediately apologize for what he's done wrong. I was about to go back and find Klay so we could immediately leave this nonsense party when I bumped into Lexi in the hallway. Her eyes were fixated on me and were sharp as if firing a hole right in my head.

"Where's Pierce?" She asked with gritted teeth.

I shot an eyebrow up and tilted my head. "Do I look like a lost and found. agency?"

She advanced another step, probably to intimidate me, but poor her, I would never be intimidated by her.

"You should be ashamed, Kelly! You're trying to seduce my fiance at our engagement party. How could you?"

I laughed without humor because of what she said. I palmed my forehead and slowly shook my head before looking at her again.

"Can you hear yourself, Lexi? I'm not a slut like you. I won't seduce someone who's already in a relationship. You must've hurt your head. You don't remember that what you're trying to accuse me of is what you actually did almost three months ago?" "Don't play me for a fool, Kelly! I know you showed up here with a plan! You are trying to seduce Pierce!"

"Aren't you the one who sent me an invitation?" I asked, smirking.

She gasped and balled her fists. I laughed again and cupped my mouth. "Oh!

Was that to annoy me? I'm sorry to disappoint you, Lexi... I'm not easy to defeat,"

""You bitch!"

I saw Pierce appear behind her and saw us. He started walking towards us with a worried expression.

I smirked at Lexi again. "I haven't done anything but you're already triggered. What if I do something?"

She lifted her arm and was about to slap me when Pierce held her wrist, shock.

"Lex..."

"Pierce! This woman is getting on my nerves!"

Pierce looked at me but his face immediately went blank as I felt a warm hand around my waist. I turned to my right a little and saw a familiar pair of shoes stopped beside me. When I lifted my face, I saw Klay with a cold expression on his face, looking directly at Pierce. "Is this how you treat your guests? I'm very disappointed, Anderson."

Pierce clenched his jaws and pressed his lips together. When he looked at me, I immediately averted my gaze.

"Let's go, Klay. This argument will just ruin my whole night."

From the corner of my eyes, I saw the fire of anger ignite in Pierce's eyes again.

I don't know what his problem is but I know it couldn't be jealousy. I've learned my lesson. I also hoped before that he was jealous and overthink about his feelings for me. In the end, it was a big slap of disappointment to me.

Klay and I walked out of the event hall. We walked side by side fiercely as I still could feel Pierce's gaze burning my back.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

My heart was racing inside my chest but there's no way I'll entertain these feelings again. I've learned the hard way. I'm not stupid to take a risk again

knowing that I no longer have a reason to fight.

***Pierce's POV

"What was that, Pierce?"

I slowly looked at Lexi right after Kelly left with Klay.

I can't accept it. She's really in a relationship with that bastard. Of all people, why does it have to be him? Him who turns all my confidence to insecurities when it comes to Kelly.

How long has it been? Two months. It's just been two months but she's

already with someone else. I'm not trying to wash my hands here. I just can't accept that she can be happy with someone else other than me because for all the years we've spent together, I thought I am her family. "Pierce!"

I shook my head and massaged the bridge of my nose. "Let's just talk later, Lex

"No! Let's talk right here and now. Let's talk about why you did not defend me. You should be siding with me all the time, Pierce-"

"I didn't side with anyone-"

"You practically sided with her when you chose to keep your mouth shut!"

I gritted my teeth. "I don't know what you're talking about, Lexi!"

"You know, Pierce! And you also know how hard it was for me to go back! You know what I had to give up just so I can be with you again but look what you're doing!"

"Lexi-"

"Pierce!"

Fck!

I sucked my breath and slowly turned to the direction where I heard that familiar voice. I clenched my jaws when I saw my mom with Grams walking towards us.

"Grams!" Lexi threw herself in Grams' arms as tears rolled down her cheeks.

"What happened, Lexi?"

"It's Pierce. I saw him with Kelly."

What? It's not possible! She didn't see us

When the Tables Save Tutund

Grams looked at me with a creased forehead. "What is this, Pierce?"

I shook my head. "It's just a misunderstanding, Grams. We'll talk about this-

"You should," she cut me off angrily. "Fix this immediately. You shouldn't create a scene here. There are so many guests. You won't wanna put this family in shame, Pierce."

"I told you Grams, it's just a misunderstanding-"

"Why did Kelly come?" Mom asked.

My lips parted as I looked at her. "Mom...."

Lexi walked out on us. Grams looked at me with disappointment before she walked away. I was left with mom who walked towards me and gently caressed my shoulder. Our gazes met when I lifted my chin. "Mom, you'll believe me, right?"

She smiled. "I always believe you, son. But Kelly shouldn't be here. She's already your ex-wife. You're getting married to Lexi. So you shouldn't get involved with her again."

I sighed defeatedly in disappointment. "Mom, Kelly is my best friend-"

"Everything changed the moment she divorced you, son. Didn't you remember how she frankly told us that she doesn't have feelings for you? Not even an ounce. She insisted on the divorce and now she's trying to win you back?" What? My forehead creased. "Mom, she's not doing anything."

"Don't defend her, son. You better stay away from her or I'll talk to her and tell her myself to leave you alone. I love her like my own daughter but I will always choose you over her."
