Kelly’s POV
I looked at Klay again. He moved closer to and I felt goosebumps when he brushed his nose against my cheek as he whispered... “Your baby bump will show soon. Relax, Kelly. I’ll handle this.”
I swallowed hard and pressed my lips together. When I looked at Pierce again, his eyes were sharp. He grabbed a drink and drank it in one gulp before he looked at with his angry and cold eyes. I imdiately averted my gaze and Lexi, who seed so surprised, looked at Klay.
“You an...you two really are a couple? It’s...yours, I suppose,” Lexi chuckled, obviously nervous.
Klay just stood silently beside . I watched Pierce as he turned his back without a word and walked away. Lexi imdiately followed him.
“Why did you do that?” I asked Klay after we were left alone.
He looked into my eyes. “Would you rather get caught later?”
“Still!” I growled at him. “You should’ve discussed your plans with firsthand. How could you decide on your own?”
“You don’t wanna talk to .”
“What?” My forehead creased.
He just stared at before he grabbed a drink and drank it straight. I took a deep sigh and shook my head.
“I’ll just go to the restroom.”
“I’ll go with you—”
“I can go alone, Klay.”
He stared at my face before he sighed and nodded. I turned my back on him and started walking away. I don’t like what he did Although he has a good reason, he crossed the line again. If I were to choose, I’d deny what he said imdiately in front of Pierce but I know if I do that, I’d look pathetic in front of them.
I was about to enter the restroom to retouch when soone grabbed by the wrist and dragged to an empty room. I gasped as I slled the familiar scent of a man who dragged . I heard the click before he pushed my back against the closed door, keeping in place.
“What the fck did you do, Kelly?”
I laughed sarcastically. Two months and this is how he greets ? I can’t believe him. I still feel the anger for what he did and what he didn’t do. While I was suffering on my own, he was enjoying his mont with his first love...on the bed where I used to sleep. How shaless!
“Is that how you greet , Pierce?”
He clenched his jaws as his eyes remained on , sharp and cold. “Are you really in a relationship with Klay Carver, huh?”
“What is it to you?” I fired back coldly.
He shook his head and gritted his teeth. “Of all people, why him? And really? You’re already pregnant with another man? How could you?”
Rage is very evident on his face and voice. I understand why he’s acting like this. It was his pride talking. He’s thinking that it was so easy for to replace him. Funny how I thought before that he’s jealous whenever he’s acting like this. I was a fool.
“Why do you care?”
“Tell the truth, Kelly! Are you really pregnant?” His voice was hoarse and disappointed but I couldn’t be more disappointed than him.
“Why would I lie about having a baby?”
He grabbed my wrists and pinned them against the door above my head. My lips parted as I stared at his dark face and burning eyes.
“You can’t be with him, Kelly! He’s your stepbrother!”
“We’re not related by blood, Pierce.” For the first ti, I was thankful that Klay and I don’t share the sa blood. It sohow beca an advantage.
He sucked his breath as he clenched his jaws. “I can’t believe you...”
“What? Are you expecting to cry over our fallen marriage? May I remind you, Pierce. I was forced to marry you—”
I was unable to finish my words when he suddenly crashed his lips on mine. I couldn’t move. What he did shocked . My body was frozen in place and I could only look at him with my eyes widened in shock. He kept on kissing while I still couldn’t move.
I felt my heart skipped a beat. Every mory of the painful past ca rushing back into my mind. His kisses brought back everything. Those days we spent together. Our friendship, our marriage, our three years together. Everything has bottled up inside and now it’s all about to explode.
For two months, I worked on my courage so that when I faced him again, I would be stronger enough not to break down. But... But one kiss from him makes my knees tremble again. One kiss from him makes my world spin beautifully again. It’s pathetic how my walls crashed on one kiss but I know I shouldn’t let him have control over again.
“Kels...” he whispered as he gently caressed my waist using his other hand. That’s when I was completely brought back to reality.
His grip on my wrists above my head loosened and I got the opportunity to pull my arm back. He gripped my jaws and kissed harder. I pushed him away and slapped his cheek in anger. My hands were trembling, both in anger and nervousness. I can’t believe he did that. Why did he do that?
“What are you doing?” I growled at him.
He clenched his jaws. His eyes were darkened with anger and he had lost his control. He pushed against the closed door again and grabbed my leg. I was shocked when he squeezed our bodies together as he lifted my right leg and wrapped it around his waist. What he did ignite sothing in . I felt a sudden fiery pleasure burn inside and made my flesh throbbing. Oh God!
“Pierce!” I panicked.
He started kissing my neck aggressively and when he was about to undress , I gathered all my strength and pushed him away. For the second ti, I slapped him.
My chest was moving up and down rapidly. My heart is racing inside my chest. I don’t know what has gotten into him but I think my second slap woke him up. He stared at with parted lips and shocked eyes.
I gritted my teeth and fixed myself. My eyes were sharp as I looked at him again. Anger took the best of . I grabbed him and pushed him against the door. I don’t wanna give him the satisfaction of hurting . If he’s up to a silly ga, then I’ll play with him.
I grabbed his tie and pulled him closer to as I stared into his eyes coldly. “Are you seriously gonna fck your ex-wife on your engagent night? Are you insulting , Pierce?”
