Bestfriend Divorced Me When I Carried His Baby by TheBlues

Realizations and Heartbreak 1/3 Realizations and Heartbreak Kelly's POV I couldn't sleep. Pierce and I hadn't started anything yet but I already ended it. His family was being dragged to the mess in my life. His younger sister is in danger because I want him, selfishly for myself. I can't stand other people dying because of a cheated death. Snow moved beside me. Her little arm wrapped around my waist, hugging me.

I smiled and stared at her face. This little angel is my strength. If not for her, I would've lost my will to live. When morning came, I did my routine normally. Today is the weekend and I'm planning to go to the gym to somehow freshen my mind.

"Ana, I'm going to the gym. When Snow wakes up, cook her breakfast and don't leave the unit." "Okay!" Ana smiled sweetly.

I nodded before I went out of the condo unit and rode the elever. The condominium tower had a gym on the third floor, so I didn't have to go out of the tower.

The gym was kinda crowded because it's the weekend.

I was running on the treadmill when I noticed someone staring atfrom the huge mirror in front of me.

I stopped running as soon as I recognized him. He slowly walked towards me.

We didn't have the chance to talk again. He said he wants to courtbut after Phoebe's birthday, I realized he's avoiding me. And now, he seemed to have cleared his mind because he approachedfirst.

"Caleb..." "Kelly..." He licked his bottom lip and smiled a little. "How are you?" I roamed my eyes around as I grabbed my towel from my shoulders and started wiping my sweat.

"I'm fine. How 'bout you?" He stared at my face. He seemed bothered about something. "I...I'm not okay." He's honest. "Problem in the company?" He shook his head. "It's my feelings. I told myself I'm gonna stop pursuing you after that night. But here am, availing membership in this gym so I can see you.

What is he talking about? He laughed a little. "I'm sorry. This is not the place to talk about that. And considering all the problems you're facing, I don't think you have time." "What night? What about it?" Biting his bottom lip, he looked down. "It's nothing. Don't worry about it. I just....I'm just shocked after I confirmed my hunch that you're with him." My lips parted. He knew! The night he's talking about. He must've seenand Pierce at the pool area. That's the reason why he's intentionally not contactingeven after confessing his feelings.

"I'm sorry..." That's the only thing I could say. I know how it feels to have one sided love. I know it very well and it's painful and...sad.

Realizations and Heartbreak He smiled again, genuine this time. "You don't have to apologize, Kelly. I love you unconditionally. I took the risk but I won't regret anything. I just hope that he won't hurt you because that's what I would regret the most. Giving up so easily." I shook my head and bit my bottom lip. "He's not gonna hurt me, I was the one who hurt him." His lips parted. He seemed curious but he didn't ask.

"Everything is just so messy. I don't even know if I can be true to him and to myself anymore. My parents died an unjust death. I want justice for them and protection for my daughter. Reason why I had to push Pierce away was because it would be dangerous for him and his family.' He stared into my eyes, meaningfully. "He's the CEO of the leading magazine company, Kelly. I don't think he'd be affected by a mere issue circulating around the internet. If he's in love with you, he won't back down just because of something that is untrue." I smiled bitterly. "It was me, Caleb. I am the problem. Not him." "Why are you punishing yourself? The world is unfair, Kelly. It will never adjust to you, you have to fit in, no matter what the situation is. You can never please anyone, it's not even necessary. But pleasing yourself and doing whatever will make you happy...that's the most import ing in this world." He's right. He has a point. Why do I have to suppress my feelings for Pierce just because Klay wants to control my life? Pierce's family is powerful too. They're rich. They have a lot of connections. And given the fact that Mr. Anderson is a smart business magnate, he won't let anyone break his family apart. He's cold but he treasures his family so much. Swith Pierce.

Caleb's words maderealize the thing I'm giving up. Love. A second chance. Happiness. A complete family for my daughter.

I don't know how I got back to the condo unit. All I know is I want to see Pierce today. I want to tell him everything. Tell him about how I feel. Tell him the truth about Snow's real father. He deserves it. More than anyone in this world.

My lips were curved into a sweet smile as I entered Pierce's company. Pierce's assistant knowsand in spite of my sweet smile, I saw fear and nervousness in her eyes.

"Is Pierce inside?" "Y-Yes, ma'am but..."

I didn't let her finish. I couldn't wait to tell him about our daughter and about how I feel for kim but when I opened the door, I felt my heart sunk and my vision instantly becblurry.

Sitting on the swivel chair was Pierce, sitting on his lap was a woman who rival in hism have always been my rival in heart. They are kissing. Pierce's hand was resting on Lexi's waist and Lexi was hugging his neck while kissing him deeply. I sucked my breath as tears rolled down my cheeks. I hurt him. Did he give up already?

Plerce pushed Lexi away and looked at her with a creased forehead. When his gaze past through her and met mine, his lips parted and he immediately pushed Lexi away from his lap. I immediately turned my back on them, wiped my tears and closed the door. I heard Pierce calling my name, but I didn't look back. I ran towards the elevator, unable to look back because I already felt weak. and broken.

""Kelly!" I heard Pierce.

I entered the elevator and I saw him following me, but Lexi keep on pulling his arm back while glaring at 1. me.
