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

Better Off... Kelly's POV

Klay has been avoiding me. It has been a week since I was abducted and saved by him and it has also been a week since he talked to me. He wasn' even looking my way, I suppose it was because I showed him how scared I am around him. He couldn't blame me but also 7

With a plan of making it up to him, I went downstairs one afternoon to cook for him. The maid looked shocked after seeing me in the kitchen. She's been. sending me meals, everyday for the past few days, in my bedroom. I have recovered from that nightmare so there's no my room anymore.

"I'll do the cooking today, Ana."

"But, Miss..."

I smiled and walked towards the counter. "I wanna cook for Klay."

She immediately bowed her head and took a step back, giving me access to the kitchen counter. I smiled at her and asked her to chop some ingredients while I prepare the meat and other necessity for cooking.

"Miss Kelly..."

"Hmm?"

"Did you know that Miss Emily has been staying in the guest room?"NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

I paused because of what Ana said. I slowly lifted my face and looked at her, " Emily?"

"That woman, Miss Kelly. I think she's Sir Klay's girlfriend. I don't like her."

Emily... The woman I saw waiting on the couch on the day I was discharged from the hospital.

"What was she like?" I asked Ana curiously.

"She's bossy, Miss Kelly. She's also very clingy to Sir Klay even when Sir Klay hates it."

This is my father's house but he brought his slut here and made her stay here? He didn't even inform me. What kind of step brother is he?

After cooking, I prepared the dining table while Ana helped me. It was exactly. 7PM when Klay entered the kitchen. He paused after seeing me standing. beside the dining table.

Even when I'm pissed because he's letting Emily stay here, I gave him a sweet smile.

"I cooked and prepared the dinner," I said as I looked him in the eyes.

He glanced at Ana, who immediately averted her gaze, before he looked at me again. He slowly walked towards me and crazy as it may sound but I felt my heart starting to beat fast. I sucked my breath and held it in when I thought he's gonna do something like touching m he didn't. Instead, he walked past me without a word.

My lips parted. Irritation filled me as I turned around and followed his movement. He opened the refrigerator and just when I'm about to growl at him for ignoring me, he walked back towards me and put the pitcher of cold water on the dining table.

He looked me in the eyes as he clenched his jaws. "I know I'm an evil man who doesn't have any hope left in me. But I don't need your sympathy, Kelly."

My jaws dropped because of what he said. "What are you talking about? I just cooked dinner for us. I didn't say anything."

He didn't take his eyes off of me. His eyes remained dark and cold, shocking

me even more.

"I've been alone ever since my mother died. I can cook for myself and feed myself, Kelly. Besides, while you were busy dating your prince charming, I was fighting for my own life in the underground. We basically belong to two different worlds." I laughed sarcastically, restraining my anger. "Look... I didn't do this because of sympathy or whatever. I did this because I want to apologize and also to thank you for saving me-"

"There's no reason to thank me. It's my job to protect you."

I shook my head in disbelief. "I don't know what you're saying. I have no other

ter

intention but to cook dinner for you. If you don't appreciate it, you can just tell it straight to my face, No need to say unnecessary things. You didn't even ask for my permission if you can let that woman stay here." "Is she bothering you?" He asked coldly.

My forehead creased.

"She's not, right? I'm also living here, Kelly. I have the right to invite whoever I want to invite. I also have rules in this house. I don't need your approval on things that don't concern you."

My lips parted. I couldn't say anything anymore because aside from the fact that I'm speechless with what he said, he also turned his back and walked

away.

I gritted my teeth when I heard him calling his woman's name. I angrily sat on the chair and looked at the food I cooked. He didn't even look at the food or taste it. He's so freaking heartless and cold. I hate him! "M-Miss Kelly..."

My forehead creased when I realized he's about to leave with his woman. I angrily pulled myself up and marched out of the dining hall.

"I'm moving out soon," I said right after he stepped out of the door.

He paused while his woman glanced at me before she left. I gritted my teeth. What should I expect? He's a man after all. He only wants to please himself.

"I'm going to move out and you can't do anything about it because I rule my life.

too."

Slowly, he faced me. The coldness in his eyes hasn't disappeared. He stared at me and spoke... "No. How can I protect you if you want to leave this house?"

I laughed sarcastically, "I'm not asking for your opinion, Klay. I will leave this house and you can't stop me-

"Why won't you listen to me, Kelly? I can't let you live on your own because it's dangerous for you outside. I'm risking my own life to save you and you want to put yourself in danger?"

"I didn't tell you to protect me!

"But I want to because you're important to me!"

I balled my fists as I stared into his cold eyes. "You can't stop me now, Klay. You know that I don't like being controlled-"

"I SAID IT'S DANGEROUS OUTSIDE-"

"BEING AROUND YOU IS ALREADY A DANGER. WHAT DIFFERENCE WOULD IT MAKE?" I shouted back. I don't know why I chose those words but I don't have plans to take it back.

He stared at me with a blank face. He seemed hurt and disappointed but I don't. care. I want to leave this house and he can never stop me.

"You said it yourself. We belong to different worlds. My world is not here, Klay. My world is outside yours. I can survive here but I won't be happy," I paused and shook my head. "You can't just manipulate me like this."

I thought he's finally getting my point but I was wrong. He slowly shook his head and stared at me with a darkened expression. He looked angry now.

"You better do as you're told or you will regret it. I already have a lot on my plate, Kelly. Don't cause any more trouble"

Anger overpowered me. I can't believe he still has the guts to say those words to me even after everything I said. I gave him my reason for wanting to leave but he's still too cold hearted.

He turned his back on me and was about to leave but I grabbed the nearest vase and threw it on the door. It almost hit him but he didn't even flinch. He paused by the door and slowly looked at the broken vase scattered on the floor.

"I understand that you're trying to protect me but if protecting me means caging me in this miserable life...then I'm better off dead."
