Bestfriend Divorced Me When I Carried His Baby (Kelly and Pierce) novel Chapter 88

Far Away From You 

Pierce’s POV 

I’m exhausted, dizzy and sleepy when I got inside Lexi’s condo unit. Mom was the one who greeted me. and she looked worried 

I held her shoulders and hugged. “Mom. Where is she?” 

“She’s still in the bathroom. How’s Kelly? I’m sorry. I just couldn’t convince Lexi to come out.” 

I nodded at her. “You can go home now and rest, mom, I’ll handle this.” 

She nodded. “Okay. Talk to her calmly. Whatever your decision will be, I’ll be here to support you.” 

Clenching my jaws, I nodded again. After mom left, I knocked dn the bathroom. 

“Lexi…” 

“Pierce?” Her voice was shaky and hesitant. 

I took a deep breath. “Come out. Let’s talk.” 

The door swung open and Lexi threw herself at me. She looked so happy but when I pulled her arms from my neck, her smile slowly faded. 

“Let’s talk about us now. 

She smiled again. Her eyes twinkled. “You’re here because you chose me, right? Let’s get married. I already chose my wedding dress and your- 

“Lexi, I want out.” 

Her forehead creased. “What?” 

I clenched my jaws and sucked my breath as I stared into her eyes. “I’m tired of this, Lexi. I’m sorry.” 

“What? What?” She screamed. “What are you saying? You can’t do this to me. Pierce! I will really kill myself this time!” 

I laughed sarcastically. “So, I was right? This was just your scheme?” 

Her lips trembled as she realized what she just said. She slowly shook her head and tried to touch my cheek but I took a step back and looked at her with anger. 

“No! No, Pierce. You can’t do this to me. You can’t leave me!” 

Tears rolled down her cheeks. I don’t wanna hurt her more. I can’t be with her when my heart yearns for Kelly. This will make the both of us miserable. 

“I’m sorry, Lexi.” 

“No, Pierce! No! No! I can’t live without you. I can’t…” 

I shook my head. 1 can’t stay with you anymore.” 

“No!” She burst into tears and tried to reach me again but I took another step back. 

“This is my fault,” I said. “If my feelings weren’t messy, this would never happen to us.” 

“Pierce, please… Don’t I–leave me. I–I won’t pull this stunt again. I–I can’t live without you. Y–You know how/ 

I fought for us. You set me free, Pierce. You gave me another reason to live. If you leave me, what’s the point of this life?” 

un Away From You 

I walked towards her and squatted in front of her. I caressed her cheeks. She remained sitting on the floor, so weak, helpless and crying. 

“P–Pierce…” 

“You deserve someone better. Someone who will love you the way you deserve.” 

“No! You’re the only one for me…. 

I shook my head. “No, Lexi. I’m not the one for you. I’m sorry for ruining your life. I’m sorry for hurting you. I’m a jerk for hurting you like this. It’s my fault. I’m sorry. 

“Pierce!” 

I pulled myself up, stared at her before I slowly turned my back and left. I can hear her screaming my name with so much pain while crying so hard, but I didn’t look back. 

This is the right thing to do. Letting go is hard, but I know she will get over me. She’s just another victim of my messy feelings. The fault is in me. 

That day, I just visited my family before I went back to the airport to go back to Kelly. She still needs me because she just gave birth. I will just wait for her to fully recover and adjust to a motherhood’s life and after that, I will leave her and finally let her have the life she deserves. A life without me. 

I was excited to see baby Snow again. But when I reached the villa, a few people and a group of firetrucks were there. Scattered in front of a burning house were firemen, trying to control the huge fire that’s conquering the house I left last night. 

“The guard said there’s a woman and a baby inside that house since the man left last night.” 

“What? Oh my God! Poor thing!” 

My legs were trembling and my vision was becoming blurry as I slowly walked towards the burning house. I didn’t care about the fire, I only wanted to get inside and find Kelly and the baby, but a fireman blocked 

my way. 

“Sir, you can’t get close. It’s dangerous 

I pushed him. “No!” 

“Sir, the debris is falling.” 

“I SAID NO! I NEED TO GET INSIDE AND FIND THEM!” 

“Sir…” 

“KELLY!” I shouted and tried to run towards the burning house but I was blocked by a group of firemen. 

“NO! NO! THEY’RE STILL INSIDE. I NEED TO SAVE THEM!”
