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

Hope Springs Eternal Kelly's POV

I woke up very exhausted and I found my aby lying next to me. Sitting on the chair beside my bed was Luke. He's sleeping and his hand is on my baby's toe. The genuine care in his actions touched my heart. I know he truly cares and that he's a good man. I've proven that I've learned to forgive him because of the sincerity he showed. I still don't completely get why he has to bring me here when he can clearly protect

me. Even Pierce can protect me. I trust them both. However, if this is fate's plan, then I'll accept it. As long as my loved ones are safe.

"Hmm..." Luke opened his eyes and our gazes met. He stared at me for a few seconds before he sat properly and massaged his neck. He looked at the window. "It's dinner time."

I smiled. "Thank you for staying."

He pulled himself up and glanced at my baby. "From this day, I swore my loyalty only to you."

"You won't betray me again?"

"Betraying you wasn't my intention. Your broken trust was a collateral damage of my will to save you."

"I know you saved Pierce too," I said in a very low tone.

He stared into my eyes without emotions on his face. "You'll be devastated if he gets hurt, Kelly."

""You've learned to call my name..."

"Just as much as I've learned to like you..."

That...made me still. I couldn't say anything until he turned his back and walked away. Did he just...confess?

I swallowed hard as I looked at my baby. I couldn't forget what Luke said, that I couldn't look him in the

eyes when he came back carrying a tray of food in his

hands. He put the tray on the bedside table and went to the window. He pulled the curtain down after he stared at the droplets of rainwater cascading down the window pane.

"There's a typhoon coming. I should head out for a while to buy stocks."

I looked outside the window. "Will you be okay? It's dangerous if there's a typhoon coming."

He faced me. "I'll be fine. I'll be back in an hour."

I just nodded at him. "Okay. Come back safe."

He nodded and left. I slowly got off the bed, carefully not making anything that could wake my baby

up. I smiled as I looked at his handsome face. I wonder what Pjerce would feel once he saw our baby. He confessed his feelings for me before we got separated. I just hope that he still loves me when the right time comes. I just need a little more time to fix this before I show up again.

I started eating in silence when the rain became heavy. It comes with thunder

and lightning that I started worrying about Luke.

After eating, I checked my baby before I went downstairs to bring the tray to the kitchen. My father's armed men have their own house near the gate so I'm alone here aside from the two guys guarding the door from the outside.

After washing the plates and utensils, I turned on the television to watch news about the weather. It will rain overnight.

I was about to turn the television off when the second news got my attention.

My lips parted as I felt my heart ripping apart when I saw a photo of Pierce and...Lexi together. The news anchor happily reported about the nearing

engagement of the two people in the picture and I found myself gripping the remote control.

"P-Pierce..."

My lips started trembling as anger reached my head. He said he loves me. He said he wanted to be with me so...

I cupped my head and sucked my breath. Did he... move on already? Did he forget me in no more than a year? How? I mean...he said he loves me and that he's choosing me over Lexi because he would rather lose her again than lose.

1. me.

Did he lie to me?

I started panting as rage conquered my heart. Of all people, why does it have to be Lexi? Why does it have to be the woman who tried to kill me?

I balled my trembling fists. Lexi is the half sister that I never wanted to meet. Luke told me everything about her and why she can back to ruin my relationship with Pierce.

"YOU BITCH!" I screamed in fury as I threw the remote control to the screen of

the television.

I heard the crashing sound but I don't care. All I can think about is Pierce marrying the woman who attempted to kill me. He doesn't know that but he said he's in love with me. How dare he schedule an engagement with another. woman just because he thought I'm dead? I went upstairs with tears cascading down my cheeks in so much anger. When I entered my room, a frightening scenario welcomed me. I thought the news about Lexi and Pierce getting engaged is the most terrifying I could see today.

"W-Who are you?" I asked, trembling as I looked at the man carrying my sleeping baby.

I couldn't see his face because it was covered with a black mask and hoodie.

"GIVE MY SON BACK!" I screamed and ran in horror when he jumped off the

veranda.

"PIERRE!" I screamed again as I heard my baby crying when the man landed on the ground on his two feet.

"COME BACK HERE, YOU BASTARD!"

I cried hard and ran downstairs even when I still felt exhausted. I gave birth just the other day and my baby is still so delicate. No! No! "PIERRE!" I screamed again as I ran under the heavy rain trying to follow the man. I looked everywhere but I couldn't find him anymore. Oh my God! Oh my God!

"KELLY!" I heard Luke's voice and the guards trying to chase me as I ran towards the mini forest behind the mansion where I saw the man who abducted my baby, run to

"Kelly!" Luke grabbed my waist and hugged me from behind.

I looked at him desperately as tears continued cascading down my cheeks. We're both soaking wet under the rain but I don't give a damn. "Luke, h-he took Pierre."

He shook his head. "What are you talking about? The house is heavily guarded." "No, Luke!" I sobbed. "I saw him! He ran towards that direction. He has my baby!"

Luke looked at the guards. "Search the whole area and find a man with a baby.

The guards looked at us suspiciously and I glared at them. "FIND MY SON IMMEDIATELY OR I WILL SHOOT EVERYONE OF YOU!*

My hands were trembling in so much anger as I felt my knees getting so weak. My body hasn't recovered and I felt even more angry when I felt my consciousness leaving me.

"Kelly.." Luke carried me in his arms.

I held onto his arm and looked him in the eyes and before I compContent bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
