Betrayed by Husband Divorced when Pregnant (Kelly and Pierce) novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Chapter 40 The Devil\’s Weak Spot

Lexi’s POV

I couldn’t calm myself as we entered the car. Kelly pissed me off so damn much and I fcking hate that she can clearly affect Pierce. What the hell is happening? They are over! Pierce should always be on my side no matter what happens but he couldn’t even defend me from Kelly a while ago. He remained silent while looking at Kelly like a wounded animal.

This can’t be! I can’t lose Pierce to Kelly. He’s mine now and that will remain that way until the day we die. I’ll make sure of that!

I looked at Pierce as he started driving the car silently. His expression was serious and his eyes were darkly directed to the road. Just what the fck?

I can’t let this slide.

“Kelly seemed happy, huh?” I said while staring at his handsome face, watching his reaction. He didn’t budge. He remained silent while driving and it irritated me even more.

“Her fiance must’ve been in love with her so much. I bet they’re having sex everyday. She’s glowing,” I added as I shot an eyebrow up, still waiting for his reaction.

I gritted my teeth when I saw Pierce’s grip on the steering wheel tightened. His jaws even clenched and his eyes darkened even more. Fck! He’s obviously affected and he’s trying so hard to hide it. Pathetic!

Provoke him more until he admits his feelings, Lexi. I need to confront him about his stupid feelings for his ex-wife. He’s going to marry me soon so I need to make sure that there’s no other woman in his heart. He’s mine and mine alone.

I caressed Pierce’s leg, “Are you okay, babe? Don’t be guilty. You must’ve hurt her before but she’s happy now. Kelly is really, really happy now—”

“Stop...mentioning her name, Lexi.” The coldness in his voice made me still.

What the fck? Did he just talk to me coldly? I can’t believe him! Is this how he’s going to treat me everytime he sees Kelly? Damn that bitch!

“Do you have feelings for her, Pierce?” I asked, annoyed.

He clenched his jaws again and pressed his lips together. His eyebrows furrowed and he’s obviously pissed now. Oh! I don’t care! I’m angry now!

“Are you in love with your ex-wife, Pierce? Answer me!”

“We have dinner with my parents tonight, Lexi. Don’t ruin my mood—”

“You fcking ruined my mood, Pierce! Answer me honestly. Are you in love with her?”

He glanced at me. I felt cold when he shot me icy stares before directing his eyes on the road again.

“Don’t worry...I know my responsibility. I won’t disappoint you while we’re engaged.”

I stared at his face, trying to find bluff in his eyes but he looked very serious. He didn’t answer if he had feelings for Kelly. It’s irritating but his assurance somehow calmed me down.

“Mr. Carver, are you even listening?”

I lifted my face and looked at the man sitting in front of me. He looked really pissed while I looked at him boredly.

“This deal is important, Mr. Carver. Do you still want this partnership?”

I laughed sarcastically and drank the liquor in my glass. “I really don’t like it when someone questions me. Didn’t anyone inform you?”

One of my men entered the private room and went beside me as he whispered... “Sir, Miss Kelly was kidnapped by an unidentified man.”

I gripped the empty glass in my hand until it crashed. Blood started dripping from my palm but I didn’t give a damn. I slowly lifted my face and looked at him, “What did you say?”

“Hahaha! I’m a little impressed with the ability of your men, Mr. Carver. So? I suppose you’ll get the meaning of this. You’ll accept the deal and your woman will survive. If not...you know what will happen.”

I tilted my head from side to side slowly. I clenched my jaws and dropped the crushed glass on the floor. I grabbed a gun from one of my men and shot the head of the man in front of me.

“No one threatens me like that and get away, bastard,” I whispered as I watched the smoke from the muzzle of the gun.

If they touch even the tip of her hair, I will chase them even in hell.
