Betrayed by Husband Divorced when Pregnant (Kelly and Pierce) novel Chapter 19

Chapter 19: Chapter 19 Lies After Lies

Kelly’s POV

I was checking the footage of the surveillance video again when I accidentally pricked my own eye with my finger. I groaned and rubbed my eyes but it worsened.

“What’s wrong, miss?”

With my other eye, I saw Luke coming in that direction.

“I pricked my eye.”

“Allow me to check.”

I put my hand down and lifted my face a little. He was hesitating to touch my chin but in the end, he did so he could properly check my eye.

“It’s reddish now. Should we go to the hospital?”

I laughed at his suggestion. I grabbed my phone and opened its front camera to check my eye.

“I just pricked my eye. It’s nothing serious, Luke.”

My forehead creased when I saw Pierce walk past my office with an angry expression. I couldn’t see properly because my eye felt sore but I’m certain it was him. What’s wrong with him?

I just shrugged my shoulders and ignored him. I checked my eye again when my assistant knocked and entered. She was carrying a glass of juice and pasta. I asked for it because I suddenly craved pasta.

As soon as the food was put on my table and its aroma reached my nose, I suddenly felt sick.

I cupped my stomach and ran to the comfort room. I retch as soon as I get in front of the sink. I didn’t throw up anything but I suddenly felt weak.

When I lifted my face, I saw Luke behind me through the mirror. I squeezed my eyes closed and washed my mouth before facing him. He offered his hand to me without saying anything. I’m relieved because he didn’t say anything. I accepted his hand and he accompanied me to sit on the couch when the door swung open again.

This time, Pierce entered with rage dancing in his eyes. His face was dark and his jaws were constantly clenching.

“Is this what you’re planning, Kelly? To anger me?”

My forehead creased as I looked at him. “What are you talking about?”

He angrily pointed at Luke. “Why were you kissing him?”

My jaw dropped. “What?”

“Don’t you dare deny it, Kelly! I saw you two kissing!”

I balled my fists as I gritted my teeth. I don’t know why he thinks that way but he must’ve seen Luke checking my eye and he misunderstood it.

“I should wait outside, Miss.”

Pierce watched Luke with sharp eyes as he left while I watched him with sarcasm. He thought I would do that just because he did that to me. I couldn’t believe he thought so low of me.

The man I love was vanishing. I felt like he was becoming a different person. I couldn’t understand him anymore. I couldn’t understand the way he thought and acted now. I felt like he was losing his trust in me even when I should be the one acting like that.

He betrayed me. I should be the one confronting him about doing something immoral. He even brought Lexi to the house where we used to live. How shameless was that?

He took a step closer and angrily pointed his finger at the door. “Can’t you do that somewhere else? Huh? Does it really have to be in the company? What if my parents come here? What if they see you kissing another man? What would they think?”

“They would think it’s normal since we’re divorced,” I answered nonchalantly.

“Fck! They don’t know about that, Kelly!”

“Then I will tell him—”

“Do you think that’s easy? My father will kick me out of the company if you tell them. He will do anything in his power to put me through hell as punishment for divorcing you.”
