Betrayed by Husband Divorced when Pregnant (Kelly and Pierce) novel Chapter 8

Chapter 8: Chapter 8 She Signed The Paper

Pierce’s POV

She signed the divorce papers. She signed it without thinking twice. In front of me.

A bitter smile spilled as I downed another glass of brandy.

I should be happy about that when I was the one who asked for the divorce. But...but my heart felt so heavy ever since Kelly signed the papers.

Kelly and I had been friends for over 10 years. The day she transferred to my high school, I accidentally bumped into her by the lake. She looked like a frightened kitten, carefully hiding her true self behind that thick antique eyeglasses. That was interesting.

I didn’t realize that nerdy transfer girl in everyone’s eyes would be the daughter of my mother’s best friend. With that, we grew to be friends. Best friends.

Kelly changed a lot after graduation. When I came back from the first vacation alone with Lexi, I was surprised to find that my best friend was far different. Taking off her heavy glasses and changing out of her baggy hoodies, she learned how to dress up. She was always a fast learner and in an instant, Kelly became a total campus goddess, with her brain and beauty.

More and more suitors gathered around her. I could see how much she was troubled, so as her best friend, I naturally became that escort. Although it caused some rumors, I knew we were only best friends. I already had Lexi.

No one knew why Kelly never had a boyfriend. I once wanted to ask about it but gave up, as I had a feeling that she would leave me once I learned the answer. I never wanted to lose her. She was my best friend.

Everything went well but after the countless argument with Lexi about our future life, we fell into a long cold war. And when I was ready to surrender, Lexi suddenly went to another city after sending me a breakup text. I flew all night to chase her, only to find her sleeping with another man. My heart was broken.

I fell into darkness and alcohol became my best partner. Just when I thought I was about to rot in my darkened room, a figure appeared in the doorway, bringing me the only light. It was Kelly.

I broke down with tears in the arms of my best friend. And Kelly suspended her studies abroad to be by my side. Without her, I could never overcome that hardest time. I’d been always grateful for that. I swore to cherish her for my whole life.
