Betrayed by Husband Divorced when Pregnant (Kelly and Pierce) novel Chapter 46

Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Those Who Cheated on Fate

Kelly’s POV

“Why did you do that?” I said, trying to hold my temper. My three employees are now around us, waiting for my signal to intervene but I won’t drag them in.

“Is this how you treat your customers? Turning your back on them?”

“Why? You wanna buy my flowers? Unfortunately, I only sell my flowers to those who genuinely want my products.”

She gritted her teeth. “Don’t act so high and mighty, Kelly. You are still a loser. You’re trying so hard to soar high and reach my level but you know that you can never equal me in any aspect.”

I laughed sarcastically as I faced her completely. “I’m not trying to equal you because from the very beginning, I am above you. Proven by how you rushed here accusing me of some ridiculous bullshits. You’re just finding someone to blame, Lexi.”

“Don’t act so innocent, Kelly! I know you are trying to steal my fiance!”

“Are you really accusing me of that, Lexi? Are you that scared of your own shadow? You think I’ll stoop on your level just to get back at you? I’m not childish.”

“Quit acting so clean, Kelly! Pierce hasn’t been coming home and he won’t answer my calls. You are hiding my fiance!”

I smirked. “Now I get it. Let me tell you one thing...” I paused and leaned to whisper... “Karma is a bitch.”

“You are the bitch here, Kelly!”

I tilted my head. “Maybe. Perhaps I’m your Karma?”

She lifted her hand and was about to slap me when I grabbed the flowers she threw on the floor and pushed the petals in her mouth. I’m not violent, but when I am provoked like this, I won’t sit back and cry in the corner. I will fight for myself and especially for my baby.

Lexi screamed and stumbled. She accidentally grabbed the flowers and it fell on her as she fell on the floor.

Somehow, I feel pity while looking at her. She’s now crying on the floor while cursing continuously and pushing all the ruined flowers away from her.

For a moment, I saw myself in her. I was too blinded by my love for Pierce that I forgot myself. I always put his happiness over mine and forgot that I’m also a human being who has dreams and goals in life.

Pierce was good to me. He treated me fair and right but he didn’t love me. He gave me everything. His support. His attention. His effort but he lacked one thing. Love. He didn’t love me the way I love him and now I’m seeing my old self in Lexi.

How did a successful woman end up like this? So crazy over a man that she’s losing herself?

Too much love. I think that’s the problem. The unrequited love that’s very toxic and deadly. No one’s to blame but ourselves as we brought ourselves in this situation.

“Pierce didn’t contact me again, Lexi,” I lied as I looked down at her. “If you want your relationship to work, you should trust him.” ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

She shook her head. “Just admit that you’re secretly meeting him, Kelly!”

“No need,” I cut one of my employees off.

“Ma’am?”

“I’ll take care of the damage. Can you just please arrange another bouquet? Our client will pick it up by 6PM. We don’t wanna disappoint our client, right? I’ll just rest for a bit in my office.”

“Yes, ma’am. I’ll bring you snacks in a minute.”

I smiled and nodded, “Thanks.”

I massaged my temple as I went to my office and sat on my chair. I thought this day would be calm and peaceful like the usual but Lexi just had to ruin my mood and my business.

It was already 6;30 PM when I decided to go home. Ana texted me that she’s just gonna meet her mother in the mall and reminded me that she already cooked my dinner. It was a good decision to bring Ana with me. At least, I have someone to do the house chores while I’m at work.

I picked an apartment as my rental home. My unit was on the second floor and I slowed down as soon as I reached my apartment. Sitting on my doorstep, with messy hair, messy polo, and a bottle of liquor in his hands, was Pierce, looking so miserable and lonely.

My heart started beating like crazy as soon as he lifted his face and our eyes met. His confession in his diary visited my mind again and it made me still. I couldn’t move in front of him.

He was sitting on the floor while looking up at me and I was frozen on my place, looking down at him.

To my shock, tears rolled down his cheeks as he kneeled and held my hands. “Kelly, please come back to me...”
