My Best Friend Left Me After 30
Rekindled Fire Kelly's POV
I looked at Klay again. He moved closer to me and I felt goosebumps when he brushed his nose against my cheek as he whispered... "Your baby bump will show soon. Relax, Kelly. I'll handle this."
I swallowed hard and pressed my lips together. When I looked at Pierce again, his eyes were sharp. He grabbed a drink and drank it in one gulp before he looked at me with his angry and cold eyes. I immediately averted my gaze and Lexi, who seemed so surprised, looked at Klay.
"You mean...you two really are a couple? It's...yours, I suppose," Lexi chuckled, obviously nervous.
Klay just stood silently beside me. I watched Pierce as he turned his back without a word and walked away. Lexi immediately followed him.
"Why did you do that?" I asked Klay after we were left alone.
He looked into my eyes. "Would you rather get caught later?"
"Still!" I growled at him. "You should've discussed your plans with me firsthand. How could you decide on your own?"
""You don't wanna talk to me."
"What?" My forehead creased.
He just stared at me before he grabbed a drink and drank it straight. I took a deep sigh and shook my head.
"I'll just go to the restroom."
"I'll go with you-"
"I can go alone, Klay."
He stared at my face before he sighed and nodded. I turned my back on him. and started walking away. I don't like what he did Although he has a good reason, he crossed the line again. If I were to choose, I'd deny what he said immediately in front of Pierce but I know if I
I was about to enter the restroom to retouch when someone grabbed me by the wrist and dragged me to an empty room. I gasped as I smelled the familiar scent of a man who dragged me. I heard the click before he pushed my back. against the closed door, keeping me in "What the fck did you do, Kelly?"
I laughed sarcastically. Two months and this is how he greets me? I can't believe him. I still feel the anger for what he did and what he didn't do. While t was suffering on my own, he was enjoying his moment with his first love...on. the bed where I used to sleep. How shamelesst
"Is that how you greet me, Pierce?"
He clenched his jaws as his eyes remained on me, sharp and cold. "Are you really in a relationship with Klay Carver, huh?"
"What is it to you?" I fired back coldly.
He shook his head and gritted his teeth. "Of all people, why him? And really? You're already pregnant with another man? How could you?"
Rage is very evident on his face and voice. I understand why he's acting like this. It was his pride talking. He's thinking that it was so easy for me to replace him. Funny how I thought before that he's jealous whenever he's acting like this. I was a fool.
"Why do you care?"
"Tell me the truth, Kelly! Are you really pregnant?" His voice was hoarse and disappointed but I couldn't be more disappointed than him.
"Why would I lie about having a baby?"Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
He grabbed my wrists and pinned them against the door above my head. My lips parted as I stared at his dark face and burning eyes.
"You can't be with him, Kelly! He's your stepbrother!"
"We're not related by blood, Pierce." For the first time, I was thankful that Klay and I don't share the same blood. It somehow became an advantage.
He sucked his breath as he clenched his jaws. "I can't believe you..."
"What? Are you expecting me to cry over our fallen marriage? May I remind
you, Pierce. I was forced to marry you-"
I was unable to finish my words when he suddenly crashed his lips on mine. I couldn't move. What he did shocked me. My body was frozen in place and I could only look at him with my eyes widened in shock. He kept on kissing me while I still couldn't move.
I felt my heart skipped a beat. Every memory of the painful past came rushing back into my mind. His kisses brought back everything. Those days we spent together. Our friendship, our marriage, our three years together. Everything has bottled up inside me and now it's all For two months, I worked on my courage so that when I faced him again, I would be stronger enough not to break down. But... But one kiss from him makes my knees tremble again. One kiss from him makes my world spin beautifully again. It's pathetic how my walls crash "Kels..." he whispered as he gently caressed my waist using his other hand. That's when I was completely brought back to reality.
His grip on my wrists above my head loosened and I got the opportunity to pull
I my arm back. He gripped my jaws and kissed me harder. I pushed him away and slapped his cheek in anger. My hands were trembling, both in anger and nervousness. I can't believe he did that. Why did he do that?
"What are you doing?" I growled at him.
He clenched his jaws. His eyes were darkened with anger and he had lost his control. He pushed me against the closed door again and grabbed my leg. I was shocked when he squeezed our bodies together as he lifted my right leg and wrapped it around his waist. What h "Pierce!" I panicked.
He started kissing my neck aggressively and when he was about to undress me, I gathered all my strength and pushed him away. For the second time, I slapped him.

My chest was moving down rapidly. My heart is racing inside my chest. I don't know what has gotten into him but I think my second slap woke him up. He stared at me with parted lips and shocked eyes. wing me there?
