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

Cutting You Loose Kelly's

POV

I slowly turned around and I'm certain I paled when I saw two people standing a few meters away from us. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Pierce still on the floor, looking at the newcomers with a shocked face. "G-Grams..." I mumbled as I felt my throat dry.

She shook her head as she laughed nervously. "I must be hearing things. How's everyone? I missed all of you, so we paid a visit."

"Grams..." Pierce pulled himself up and walked towards his grandmother.

She was the one who raised him so he loved her and respected her so much. I cupped my mouth when Grams ignored Pierce and looked away.

I took a deep breath and gathered all my courage to speak again... "Grams, I'm sorry..."

She looked at me with tears in her eyes, "D-Did my grandson hurt you, Kelly?",

I shook my head, "No, Grams. He's the sweetest. I-I just...I just feel like I need to let him go because we're not really meant for each other." "Kelly..." I heard Mrs. Anderson sobbing.

Grams shook her head and caressed her cheek. Grandpa immediately joined her and supported her as she almost lost her balance.

I felt my heart almost stop beating because of what happened. However, I remained in my place as I watched Pierce try to help his grandma.

She slowly nodded and smiled bitterly. "I want you two to end up together because I know you have a deeper connection. I know you will take care of each other and love each other more than anyone. I-I'm sorry for putting you in a complicated situation. I-I just thought..." "Grams..." I rushed to her and held her hands. I shook my head and smiled at her. "I know... We know your intention, that's why we tried it. We gave it a try, grams but we didn't work. I'm sorry."

I'm sorry for lying, grams. I don't wanna hurt you because you're like a real

grandmother to me.

The dinner didn't end well. Mr. Anderson walked out after Grams' emotional breakdown. She cried and asked for forgiveness for putting me in this situation but it's not her fault because even if she threatened me to marry her grandson, without my feelings for him, I wouldn't "Kelly..."

I stopped in my tracks after Pierce called my name, almost a whisper. We're now home and I couldn't face him. The conversation with his family didn't really end well. Even if Grams said it's okay to choose myself, I know I'm hurting her inside. I know she's brokenhearted. "Did you...mean what you said?" His voice sounds tired and lifeless.

I pressed my lips together and tightened my grip on my pouch.

Heaving a sigh, I slowly turned to face him. He was looking straight into my eyes as if he was actually waiting for me to look at him.

"I mean everything I said, Pierce."

He swallowed hard. There was something in his eyes. Confusion, pain, and thankfulness. I don't know why he's being like this but I'm not doing

this just for him. I'm doing this for me too. I want a complete family for my baby, but I'm not gonna settle for the small things he can offer. I love him, but I will love my baby more.

"Kels, you're not drifting apart because of this, right?"

My forehead creased. He expects me to stick to him even after all of these? He's selfish.

"Kels..."

"Pierce, I'm tired. Let's talk tomorrow."

He sighed and slowly nodded. He walked towards me and planted a kiss on my forehead. I squeezed my eyes closed as I felt my heart wrenching.

I'm gonna miss this. I'm gonna miss everything about him. His care, his love, his smile, his laugh, everything. God! If only I could stay with him. "Good night, Kels."

I opened my eyes and nodded at him. I turned my back and went upstairs. He was following me and I felt his stares as I walked towards the guest room.

1 guess this is our fate. We are just meant to be best friends and will never go beyond that.

I didn't sleep well. I kept on thinking about Grams, abo Pierce's parents, and even about my baby. I felt so sick when I woke up. I quickly ran to the bathroom and puked. I groaned as I felt the bitter taste of the liquid I spit

After washing my mouth, I immediately took all my clothes off so I could bathe when the door suddenly opened and Pierce entered with a worried face.

"Kelly!"

My eyes widened as I looked at him. I couldn't move. I couldn't even cover my naked body.

My cheeks heated even when he had already seen my body multiple times.

His lips parted when he realized he was standing before my naked body. He immediately turned around and cursed multiple times. He's panicking and his neck is reddening.

"A-Are you okay? I heard you vomiting Are you not feeling well?"

I swallowed hard and took a deep breath, I grabbed a bathrobe and answered. "I'm fine. You can turn around now."

He faced me and examined my whole body. His face looked so worried as his hand fled to my forehead.

"You seemed fine," he said, almost a whisper.

I gave him a small smile. Tm fine.

He clenched his jaws and massaged the bridge of his nose as he whispered..." Damn, you didn't eat properly last night. I'm sorry."

"Can you order us some food, please? I'm famished."

He was quick to nod "What do you want?"

"Okay." He caressed my arm and cheek before he turned his back and left.

My shoulders dropped as I watched him gently close the door. His feelings. never changed. He still sees me as his best friend.

My phone rang as soon as I stepped out of the bathroom. The family lawyer of the Anderson family is the one calling. I immediately answered the call... "Hello, attorney."

[Mrs. Anderson, I'm on my way to your house now. I have the document with me.]

I nodded as I stared at my own reflection in the mirror. "Thank you, attorney. We'll be waiting."

When I went downstairs, Pierce was already preparing the table for our

breakfast. I suddenly felt starving as soon as my eyes landed on the pasta. However, someone rang the bell. I went straight to the door and was welcomed. by Attorney Wade Morgan. "Good morning, Mrs. Anderson."

I smiled at him. "Good morning, Attorney. Come in."

"Who's there, Kelly?"

Pierce appeared behind me even before Attorney Morgan stepped his foot inside the house. Pierce's lips parted after he saw the person standing in front

of us.

"Good morning, Mr. Anderson."

Pierce looked at me so I gave him a smile. "He's here to deliver and process. our divorce papers."

Pierce didn't answer. We ate our breakfast and only me and Attorney Morgan. were talking. Pierce is strangely silent but I feel like it's because

he's worried about his grandmother. Our breakfast ended in a deafening silence and when it was time to sign the divorce papers, I felt suffocated.

I stared at the piece of paper that would completely end my relationship with my husband. Now, I'm getting back to just being his best friend but I don't think I'd be okay with that. After all of these, I think it's better for me to slowly exit his life. So I can focus on my own. So I can take care of myself.

I

I won't deny that he made me so happy during those three years of being

married to him, But I know it's only my stolen moments.

Now, it's time to end this false happiness.

Taking a deep breath, I signed my name on the divorce paper.
