Betrayed by Husband Divorced when Pregnant (Kelly and Pierce) novel Chapter 30

Chapter 30: Chapter 30 Rekindled Fire

Kelly’s POV

I looked at Klay again. He moved closer to me 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 me with his angry and cold eyes. I immediately averted my gaze and Lexi, who seemed so surprised, looked at Klay.

“You mean...you two really are a couple? It’s...yours, I suppose,” Lexi chuckled, obviously nervous.

Klay just stood silently beside me. I watched Pierce as he turned his back without a word and walked away. Lexi immediately 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 me firsthand. How could you decide on your own?”

“You don’t wanna talk to me.”

“What?” My forehead creased.

He just stared at me 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 immediately 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 someone grabbed me by the wrist and dragged me to an empty room. I gasped as I smelled the familiar scent of a man who dragged me. I heard the click before he pushed my back against the closed door, keeping me in place.

“What the fck did you do, Kelly?”

I laughed sarcastically. Two months and this is how he greets me? 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 moment with his first love...on the bed where I used to sleep. How shameless!

“Is that how you greet me, Pierce?”

He clenched his jaws as his eyes remained on me, sharp and cold. “Are you really in a relationship with Klay Carver, huh?”

“What is it to you?” I fired back coldly.

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 me 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 me 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 me 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 something in me. I felt a sudden fiery pleasure burn me inside and made my flesh throbbing. Oh God!

“Pierce!” I panicked.

He started kissing my neck aggressively and when he was about to undress me, I gathered all my strength and pushed him away. For the second time, 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 me 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 me. I grabbed him and pushed him against the door. I don’t wanna give him the satisfaction of hurting me. If he’s up to a silly game, then I’ll play with him.

I grabbed his tie and pulled him closer to me as I stared into his eyes coldly. “Are you seriously gonna fck your ex-wife on your engagement night? Are you insulting me, Pierce?”
