Betrayed by Husband Divorced when Pregnant (Kelly and Pierce) novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18: Chapter 18 Her Lips on His

Kelly’s POV

I stopped when I almost bumped into Pierce as I was about to enter the meeting room. Our gazes met and my heart instantly raced. His serious face immediately softened after he saw me.

“Kel—”

“Good morning, Mr. Anderson.”

His lips parted. I never called him that as everyone in the company knew we were best friends. But starting today, the line needed to be drawn.

I walked past him and went straight to my usual chair whenever we had a meeting. From the corner of my eyes, I saw him looking at me and instead of going out, he went back to his chair which was just beside mine.

“Can we talk later?” He asked as he looked at my face.

I glanced at the employee who was putting documents on the table. Her hands slowed down because of what Pierce said.

“I have another meeting after this, Mr. Anderson.”

“Just...five minutes?”

I lazily looked at him and didn’t answer immediately. I waited for the female employee to leave before I faced him completely.

“We already talked. I told you to give me a year—”

“Then, why did you come last night?”

I was taken aback. He misunderstood everything. He thought I was staying for what happened at his door last night. He still had no idea what a horrible night I’d been through last night. Someone filmed me naked and he was clueless as fck.

Instead of answering him, my eyes landed on the rings on his finger.

“Why are you still wearing those rings?”

“I didn’t regret marrying you, Kelly. You are part of my life and so are these rings.”

I looked him in the eyes. “If I were Lexi, I wouldn’t allow you to wear someone else’s ring.”

He clenched his jaws. “You’re not just someone else.”

I looked away and answered with sarcasm, “Yeah. I am one of your treasures.”

“Why do you want me to leave you alone? I’m worried about you, Kelly. The man who followed you in the parking lot hasn’t been caught—”

“I’ll deal with it myself,” I cut him off as I put my pen on the table.

“Kels, we’re—”

"We’re already divorced, Mr. Anderson." I looked at him coldly, “And the meeting is important, just let it be.”

He was rendered speechless and I signaled my assistant to bring others in.

I didn’t wanna waste time. What happened last night was enough to sober me up.

He said he’s not dating Lexi but I caught them together in his house. She was wearing his t-shirt and they looked like they just fcked.

I would never fall for his words anymore.
