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 your 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!”
Itilted 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 tha 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?
toxic
Too much love. I think that’s the problem. The unrequited love that’s very, 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.”
She shook her head. “Just admit that you’re secretly meeting him, Kelly!”
Rage was visible in her eyes but I’m too tired of listening to her bullshits.
“Pierce and I were over, Lexi. You know that he chose you over me. There’s no way that he’ll still see me and there’s no fcking way that I’ll still meet him. We don’t have feelings for each other. Shouldn’t you be talking to him about this matter instead of attacking me here? You are just wasting both of our time.”
but I can see that she somehow calmed down. For a moment, I thought she got my point but she didn’t. She angrily pulled herself up and threw a small black notebook on the table in front of me. My forehead creased when I got to see some of the pages in the notebook. My lips parted in shock after realizing that it was Pierce’s diary and he wrote on one page that he realized he’s in love with me and he wanted me back.
“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.”
