Kelly’s POV
I don’t intend to hurt him but I need to shove the truth into his face so he’d realize what’s the problem. So he’d know what went wrong.
“Are you okay, Miss?”
I languidly turned to Luke driving in the driver’s seat, “Do you think I can forget him?”
“You will if you want, Miss,” he answered without taking his eyes off the road.
I smiled. Luke had been my driver for almost two years. He should be the one who knew best what was really going on between Pierce and . And for , he was also a reliable friend.
When we reached the condo unit, he opened the door for . I went straight to the kitchen to drink water and when I was about to go to my room, I saw Luke talking to soone behind the half-closed door.
“I will keep her safe, Sir,” Luke said and slightly bowed his head.
The person outside tapped Luke’s shoulder and my heart skipped a beat after seeing a familiar hand with two rings on the ring finger. It was a wedding ring. His and mine wedding ring.
I turned my back when Luke closed the door. I was about to go to my room when he spoke...“Mr. Anderson brought food, Miss.”
“Later,” I answered shortly and went to my room. I locked the door and sat on the bed. I pald my face and shook my head.
W-Why was Pierce still wearing that? We were divorced. Keeping those rings couldn’t make any sense. He already made his choice when he asked for a divorce. He chose Lexi, instead of .
I went to the bedside table and opened the cabinet. The papers about the assets I got from the divorce were here. Even my passport was here. Once I get the chance, I will leave the country.
Yes, I wouldn’t deny I was a coward. And I knew Pierce wouldn’t stop. Sotis he was more like a spoilt boy in our relationship. But this ti, I had to leave him, for my baby.
My resignation letter was ready, just waiting for a proper mont, a proper excuse, I would quietly leave this land where I had left countless mories.
After all the intimate monts we’ve had for the past three years, I couldn’t co back to the position of his best friend, to watch how sweet he would be with Lexi. That would be enough to kill my life.
I had to leave him so that I could focus on my baby.
I pulled myself up and took my dress off. I let it fall on the floor as I stared at my own reflection in the mirror in front of . I was about to take my underwear off when I heard sothing bump into the glass door. I jumped in shock and I scread when I saw sothing floating in the air.
“Luke!” I called for help as I grabbed the comforter and covered my naked body before Luke entered the room.
"The drone!" I pointed it to him and he quickly walked straight to the balcony trying to reach a drone flying away. He cursed and locked the glass door. He walked towards and helped up. My hands are trembling in combined fear and anger.
“Let’s go sowhere safe, miss.”
“W-Where?”
He paused and looked at . “To Mr. Anderson’s house.”
I gasped and imdiately shook my head. “No, Luke.”
“I would rather you be angry with , Miss, than let you sleep in a place you’ll feel unsafe.”
I pressed my lips together as I couldn’t find a word to say. He let sit on the couch and brought water.
“Drink first. Allow to touch your things. I’ll get you clothes.”
I looked up at him and nodded. I sipped on the cold water when he walked towards my room. I tightened my grip on the glass as I looked around , scared that sothing would pop up again.
Luke drove to Pierce’s house. The guard imdiately allowed us in. Luke accompanied to the entrance of the house. He rang the bell and in less than 2 minutes, soone opened the door. I was expecting Pierce but it wasn’t him.
Lexi wearing Pierce’s t-shirt opened the door and behind her was Pierce who was fixing his belt.
I froze on the doorstep, standing like a snowman.
I felt cold. My heart sank and my insides were empty. I feel nothing but burning rage.
“K-Kelly...” Pierce saw but I quickly turned my back on him and walked away.
“Kelly, wait–”
“Pierce, are you choosing her over ?”
I stopped and slowly looked back. I stared at the man standing a few ters between and Lexi. He kept on looking at and Lexi alternatively with pain and confusion in his eyes.
“Lex, please...” he pleaded.
“No, Pierce. If you take another step, you’re not having your chance with ,” Lexi said with confidence.
Pierce shook his head and then he looked at . His eyes were begging to stay. Of course, he would always make do what he wanted just so everything would turn out the way he wanted.
“Let’s leave, Luke,” I ordered as I turned back to the car. I heard Pierce calling but he’s not taking another step. He was afraid to lose Lexi so much that he chose to lose .
Of course! I know who he would choose. It’s Lexi. It’s always Lexi.
Luke thought I’d be safe here but he was wrong. Among all the places in this world, this is where I’m in great danger.
As soon as the car started moving, tears rolled down my cheeks. I started crying in silence until I couldn’t take it anymore. I burst into tears and poured all my heart into painful cries. Luke was silently driving beside , completely ignoring my loud sobs.
My shoulders were shaking as I covered my face with my palm. I thought I wouldn’t cry again. I thought I already accepted the fact that he would never choose but I was wrong.
It’s so damn painful to watch him choose her over .
I was so stupid for looking back and hoping that he would follow . I was so stupid and helpless. I never learned. I should learn!
