Divorce My Best Friend, Carrying His Baby

Kelly’s POVI got off the bed and tried to leave but Pierce grabbed my hand. I immediately wiped the tears that rolled down my cheeks before he could see them. He stood in front of me and looked at my face as I tried so hard to look down and avoid his eyes.I felt my heart breaking into pieces. I thought… I thought I could make him fall in love with me within those three years together. I thought his feelings would level up and would see me as a woman rather than just a best friend. I was stupid for hoping and dreaming so high.I failed. No matter how hard I tried, his heart belonged only to his first love Lexi.“Kelly…”I sucked my breath and swallowed the pain as I looked at him. I faked a smile, “I need to wash up before eating.”He stared into my eyes as if trying to figure out what I was thinking. I know he knew me too well so I tried so hard to hide my pain and smiled at him.He sighed and let go of my hand. “Okay. I’ll wait for you here. Let’s eat and go to work together.”Toge

Kelly’s POVI was playing with the wedding ring on my finger. I told him to go home early but he didn’t come home completely. He wasn’t even answering my calls.Well, now Lexi was back, this house was probably not home in his eyes anymore.My eyes turned to my pregnancy report on the table. What a mockery. I was still naive to hold a glimmer of hope that things would be different if I told him about the baby. But forget this baby was out of his plan.Sure, Pierce was not the kind who would force me to have an abortion. But he couldn't cut out his obsession with Lexi either. He might stay in this loveless marriage if his parents asked. But all I had would only be an empty shell. That's not a Father what I wanted for my baby.I wiped off the tears collecting at the corner of my eyes and collected the report. It was 5 am already when I looked at the clock on the wall. I tried to dial his number again, but still busy. What was he busy with? Was he busy making love with Lexi? He must have

Kelly’s POVI walked out and went to the bedroom. I grabbed a pillow and blanket. I turned and was about to leave when Pierce entered the bedroom and looked at me.“Where are you going?”I looked at him sharply. “Why do you care?”“I care because you’re my wife, Kelly!”A sarcastic laugh came out of my mouth because of what he said. I looked at him with rage. “We’re divorcing anyway.”“Kelly, you can’t just run away like this. We have to talk about the problem.”“I don’t have a problem, Pierce. It was you who had a problem and you created it, just to remind you.”He grabbed my wrists and kept me in place when I tried to leave. His jaws were clenching as his eyes bore at me angrily. “My father is angry, Kelly. He’s accusing me of cheating on you.”I tilted my head, “Are you not?”His forehead creased. “I am not an *sshole, Kelly. Did you see me kissing her or fcking her? I still have my sanity with me. I won’t go intimate with her as long as you’re carrying my name—”“Frankly speaking,

Pierce’s POVShe 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

Kelly’s POVLooking back at them would just hurt me more. I restrained myself and my chest was clenching again but I won’t let this pain drive me nuts.I was about to go to my office when someone called my name. When I looked at the person who called me, my mood instantly lightened.“Chris!” I called happily.He was smiling sweetly as he walked towards me and when he got the chance, he pulled me for a gentle and warm hug.Christopher Parker was my college suitor. The last thing I heard about him was he’s become a professional model and actor and he’s built a name in the industry. He’s finally a big star“It’s really true that you’re working here,” he said and examined my whole. “God! You’re still as beautiful as ever.”I felt my cheeks heated. I playfully smacked his arm and smiled at him. “What are you doing here? I’m the Vice President here.”He nodded and smiled widely. His eyes were twinkling in happiness. “I know. How are you? This is Pierce Anderson’s company right? Are you fina
