Bestfriend Divorced Me When I Carried His Baby (Kelly and Pierce)

Pierce's POV "PIERCE!"

I gritted my teeth and turned to mom. She's crying again as she tries to stop. me. She's been caging me here in her house for the weeks even

when I clearly told her that I need to leave and find Kelly. I need to find her. For God's sake, we got into an accident and we fell into a river. We were drowning and I couldn't do anything to save her. "I need to find her, mom!"

She shook her head and sobbed. "S-Son, she's gone."

"What do you mean she's gone? I survived, mom. She's alive too!"

"We found her body last week, Pierce. You saw the body with your own eyes."

"NO!" I shouted and grabbed my hair. "That's not her, mom! That's not her!"

"Then who was it? You saw her face. It was her!"

"IT'S NOT HER!" I shouted again and fell on my knees. I felt tears streaming down my face as I felt my heart ripping apart.

Mom ran to me and wrapped her arms around me, comforting me. That's when I lost it. I started crying painfully in her arms as I continued grabbing my hair, blaming myself.

"This is m-my fault, mom. I-I couldn't save her. I was too w-weak..."

"Shh! Shh! Son..."

"Mom, I wanna see her again. Please, mom. Bring her b-back. I need her. I'll go crazy, mom. I love her, mom. I love her so much b-but I was too stupid for not r- realizing it sooner. I-I was stupid." "Pierce, we can't do anything-"

"Just kill me, mom..." I squeezed my eyes closed and balled my fists. "I'm better off dead without her."

I continued crying in my mother's arms. I feel so helpless and worthless. I lost

the woman I lave just when I finally realized that I'm in love with her. Why does. fate have to be this cruel? Why do I have to lose her just so I can learn my lesson? Why did it have to be her? It could've been me! I should've died instead of her. It should be mel

"K-Kelly..." I cried helplessly. "I'm s-sorry... I'm sorry... I promise, I'll be with you. I promise..."

***Kelly's POV

I can see myself drowning. I'm helpless underneath the wild water while Pierce is unconscious beside me. I've been seeing the same dream over and over but whenever I tried to open my eyes, everything would turn pitch black.

I don't know what to do. I tried everything I could to save myself from drowning but the cycle was still the same. It's so crazy that I'm starting to lose my hope. Tears won't stop streaming down my face. It felt real but I couldn't wake myself up. "Miss..."Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

My fingers twitched. Did I just hear someone calling me? I think it's Luke but

where is he?

"You just have to open your eyes, Miss..."

Open my eyes? I looked around but it was all pitch black. I shook my head and continued roaming my eyes around until I suddenly saw a blinding light. I groaned and covered my eyes with my hands. "You're finally awake."

I gasped as soon as I saw Luke's face. He was looking at me with a blank face.

I tried to pull myself up after realizing that I'm lying on a bed. However, my body felt so weak and numb.

"Don't move yet. You've been asleep for three weeks, you're still weak."

"What?" I panted.

He licked his lip and nodded. "You heard it right."

I shook my head and roamed my

oves around. "Where am 17

"In a place where you're safe."

My forehead creased as I cupped my forehead and then memories started

rushing back into my mind. I was in my condo and someone attacked us. Luke. managed to get me out and then Pierce came and...and he confessed to me and we kissed...and...and... Oh God!

I immediately turned to Luke with tears pooling in the corner of my eyes. "Where is Pierce?"

"He's safe, miss. With his family."

My forehead creased. I slowly looked at my own body and my eyes widened after I realized that I'm pregnant and my baby could've been in danger.

"Luke..."

"It's safe, miss."

I was able to breathe in relief. I swallowed hard and slowly pulled myself up. I sat on the bed and Luke immediately helped me sit. He even handed me a glass of water which I immediately drank,

"I need to go home, Luke. Thank you for saving me but I need to talk to Pierce."

""You can't, miss."

""Why not?"

"Because everyone believes that you're now dead."

I felt like my heart almost stopped beating because of what she said. I started panting as my lips trembled. I-I feel like he's lying or he's just pulling a dark prank but I know him. He doesn't do pranks. He doesn't joke and definitely, he won't tell me something that's not true. "W-What do you mean by that? Where am I, Luke?"

"You're... in Kevin Monroe's mansion."

My eyes widened. I felt like everything stopped and my world crashed. I feel dizzy. That familiar name started ringing in my head like crazy and I couldn't find myself to calm down.

I grabbed my hair and angrily looked at Luke. Rage is rushing through every veins in my body and I couldn't control it. "Why did you bring me here, Luke?"

""You're safer here"

"NO, I'M NOT! WHY DID YOU THINK I'M SAFE IN..." I paused as I stared at him with parted lips. My forehead creased as stared at his blank face.

I-Is he... Could it be...

"A-Are you...my step sibling?"

The door suddenly swung open at the same time a voice that I haven't heard for so many years filled my ear.

"He's my most trusted man, Kelly. And yes, you are indeed safer here."

I gasped as I slowly turned to the man who just entered. His hair has become gray and he looks older. He's holding a stick and he's crippled. The pain, anger, hatred and disappointment came rushing back to me as soon as I saw his face. His face that I learned to hate all t He smiled as if he didn't do anything wrong at all. He smiled as if he didn't abandon me before.

"Welcome home, my daughter."
