Bestfriend Divorced Me When I Carried His Baby Novel – I wanted to tell my husband Pierce that I was pregnant, but it was his first love Lexi answered the phone. [Hello?] “Who is this? Where’s Pierce?” I asked, a bit annoyed. [Mr. Anderson is in the toilet. Do you have a message…] It’s her. I gritted my teeth and ended the call. I wiped off the tears collecting at the corner of my eyes and collected the report. It was 5 am already when I looked at the clock on the wall. I tried to dial his number again, but still busy. Was he busy making love with Lexi? He must have missed her a lot, didn’t he? When I opened my eyes, I realized I had fallen asleep in the couch. Pierce was beside me.“Kelly…” he squeezed his eyes closed. “I-I think it’s time for us to divorce. Lexi is back, Kelly. My first love is back.”
Kelly’s POV “It’s a good thing you’re cautious. You could’ve lost your baby, Miss Monroe.” My lips parted as I stared at the female doctor in front of me. She was holding a piece of paper. She smiled and said to me, “Congratulations, Miss Monroe. You are two months pregnant.” I felt my heart race immediately. He felt tears in the corner of my eyes as I slowly accepted the certificate of pregnancy. “Oh my God!” I whispered. Pierce would be very happy to hear this news. He’s actually coming back home this afternoon after almost a month of traveling for the sake of our family’s business. He’s the President of ADE, the leading fashion magazine company all over Asia. I am actually the Vice President of the company and we’ve been working together for three years after we got married. I looked at the doctor and smiled happily again. ‘Thank you so much, doctor.”
She wrote something and handed it to me, “Here. Buy these vitamins. You’ll need it to make yourself and your baby healthy.” I nodded and gently pulled myself up. “Thank you again, doctor.” I was so happy as I left the hospital. I went to the basement parking lot and saw my personal driver standing beside the car. I looked at Luke, my personal driver, in the rearview mirror. “What time is Pierce’s arrival?” He glanced at his wristwatch and looked at me through the rearview mirror. “He’ll arrive at 4 PM, ma’am. We can get there before his arrival.” “Drive to the airport, Luke.” “Yes, ma’am.” I smiled and looked at the certificate of pregnancy. I can’t wait to tell him about our baby. I wonder what his reaction would be. Would he scream in happiness? Would he peck me and all? God! I can’t contain my happiness. I gently caressed my stomach and looked outside the window when the car stopped.
We’re now in front of the airport. “I should call him, right?” I smiled and looked at Luke. He nodded, “Yes, ma’am.” I smiled even more and took my phone out. I immediately dialed Pierce’s number but my forehead creased when the call didn’t reach him. I tilted my head and stared at the screen. “His signal might be too slow for now, ma’am. He must’ve just got out of the plane.” Right! I nodded and put my cell phone down. I waited for almost half an hour before I dialed his number again. I was so excited when the call was picked up but my excitement died down immediately after I heard a woman’s voice. [Hello?] “Who is this? Where’s Pierce?” I asked, a bit annoyed. [Mr. Anderson is in the toilet. Do you have a message for him? I will relay it…] I gritted my teeth and ended the call. Who’s that girl? Mr. Anderson… Wait…she might just be Pierce’s secretary.
I calmed myself down and waited patiently again. However, I fell asleep without even having to receive a call from my own husband. I was shocked when I realized the sun was already down and we were still outside the airport. I looked at Luke who was watching something on his cellphone. “Luke…” He immediately got alert. “Yes, ma’am?” “Pierce hasn’t arrived?” “No, ma’am.” I massaged my forehead and pressed my lips together. I’m worried. What happened to him? “Drive home.” For three years, Pierce and I got along well. He was sweet and gentle to me. He was caring. He calls me every time he gets a chance. He never made me feel unwanted. He’s the perfect husband but what’s happening to him now? I don’t know. These past few days he hasn’t been calling me. I tried to understand but I’m getting scared now. I fell asleep at home feeling so insecure and worried.
I woke up in the middle of the night when I felt someone caressing my cheek. Slowly, I opened my eyes and I realized I fell asleep in the living area. Someone lifted me from the couch. I immediately recognized his scent and touch as I looked at him with heavy lidded eyes. “Peirce…” “Hmm,” he hummed as he walked towards the stairs. “Why did you sleep on the couch?” I stared at his face when he gently put me down on the bed. He caressed my hair and pecked my forehead. “Where have you been? I’ve been waiting for you,” I said as I caressed his cheek. “Just met a friend. How ‘bout you? How’s your day?” I smiled, “Better now you’re here.” He chuckled and playfully pinched my nose, “I’ll just take a shower. I smell alcohol.” I just nodded and watched him as he walked towards the bathroom. I felt so sleepy so I closed my eyes again and fell asleep. It was already morning when I opened my eyes again and Pierce was beside me, putting a tray of food on the bedside table.
“Hey!” I greeted and smiled when I realized what he’d done. He prepared breakfast for me. In bed. The sweetest. He smiled and sat on the bed. “Good morning.” I grinned as I sat on the bed. He carried the tray and put it beside me. I shot an eyebrow up and tilted my head as I stared at his handsome face. His eyes are deep brown. His eyebrows were thick and black, complimenting his beautiful eyes. His nose was proud and pointed and his lips were red and thin. He literally looks like a bad boy. Even Damon Salvatore would be embarrassed to stand beside him. No one stands a chance against this man. “What is this? Is this a bribe? You stood me up last night, bad boy.” He didn’t laugh. He heaved a sigh and gently tucked my hair on my ears before he held my hand and stared into my eyes. “I have something to tell you.” I felt my heart race.
I thought about our baby in my womb. He’s got something to tell. I have something to tell him too. “W-What is it?” I asked as I felt my voice tremble. He took a deep sigh. “You know you’re important to me, right?” I slowly nodded with parted lips. I couldn’t answer. I’m scared of what he’s about to say. I have a bad feeling about this. “You were my best friend before we got married. You are one of the few people I treasure…” I hid my balled fists under the sheet. I don’t know why he’s telling me all these but I felt tears pooling in the corner of my eyes already. “Kelly…” he paused and squeezed his eyes closed before he looked at me again in the eyes. “I-I think it’s time for us to divorce.” “P-Pierce…” He smiled. “I know you don’t have feelings for me either. You just married me because of my grandparents. You just did this because you love them.
Now it’s time for our real happiness, Kelly.” I shook my head, “W-What are you talking about, Pierce?” “Lexi is back, Kelly. My first love is back.” I got off the bed and tried to leave but Pierce grabbed my hand. I immediately wiped the tears that rolled down my cheeks before he could see them. He stood in front of me and looked at my face as I tried so hard to look down and avoid his eyes. I felt my heart breaking into pieces. I thought… I thought I could make him fall in love with me within those three years together. I thought his feelings would level up and would see me as a woman rather than just a best friend. I was stupid for hoping and dreaming so high. I failed. No matter how hard I tried, his heart belonged only to his first love Lexi. “Kelly…” I sucked my breath and swallowed the pain as I looked at him. I faked a smile, “I need to wash up before eating.”
He stared into my eyes as if trying to figure out what I was thinking. I know he knew me too well so I tried so hard to hide my pain and smiled at him. He sighed and let go of my hand. “Okay. I’ll wait for you here. Let’s eat and go to work together.” Together? How cruel could he be? He still wanted us to get along like he didn’t ask for a divorce? He wanted us to stay the way we were right after he told me that his first love was back and he wanted to divorce me? Oh Pierce, what was going on in your head? If I used to be able to force myself to stay in the seat of his best friend wishing him happiness, I no longer had that courage after the three years we’d shared. There’s no way I could endure that kind of torture again, especially when I’m carrying his baby. The baby…I had thought it was good news for us but now…it would be more like a burden to him, I guess. A burden that would prevent him from getting his true love and freedom. I knew how an unwanted child to grow up.
My parents were divorced even before my mother died and the new family of my father hated me and it hurts. I don’t want my baby to experience the same thing I felt. I need to keep my baby away from it. I faked a smile again. “We can’t. I need to visit the studio for the photoshoot of our new models…” “I’ll go with you—” “No.” I pushed his hand. His eyes followed my hand before he lifted his face to look at me again. “You have some documents to sign. Our schedules are already organized, remember?” “But…” “I have a personal driver, Pierce. I’ll be fine to go alone.” He sighed and slowly nodded. I turned my back on him and entered the bathroom. I immediately opened the shower and stood under the cold water. Tears cascaded down my cheeks as I covered my mouth to suppress my sobs. My shoulders were trembling really badly and when I thought about my baby, I swallowed hard and tried to calm myself down. I wiped my face and caressed my belly.
I need to be strong. I need to stay calm. I shouldn’t put my baby’s life on the line just because I got my heart broken. I have to deal with this smartly. I sucked my breath and finished my bath. When I got out of the bathroom, I was shocked to see Pierce was still there. He was struggling to fix his tie in front of the full-length mirror. I also noticed my pair of heels and dress on the bed. “Hey! I picked your dress for today.” Since our marriage wasn’t public, Pierce said he would try to do little things for me as a husband. He did it well and I used to enjoy these sweet moments but now, it was going to kill me. I grabbed the dress and went inside the walk-in closet. I felt him following me. I put the white dress back and picked a red one. When I faced him, his forehead was creased. I smiled. “I prefer red today. I’d feel beautiful in this dress.” His eyes went to the dress I was holding and his face immediately calmed down. He nodded and walked towards me.
“I see. Help me fix this first.” I put my dress on his arm and started fixing his tie. I could feel his eyes staring intently and it was making my heart beat so fast. I took a deep breath and chewed my bottom lip as I struggled to fix the tie. My vision is becoming blurry again. “Kelly…” I jumped in shock. “Hmm?” “Are you okay?” I looked at him and smiled, “Yeah.” “I have another thing to say.” I finished fixing his tie so I immediately grabbed the dress from him. I glanced at him before I walked past him and spoke… “Let’s just talk some other time. I’m going to be late.” I heard him sigh as he followed me again. I grabbed my underwear and got dressed while he was standing behind me. He’s silent the whole time as if he’s thinking about something. “You should eat before you leave.” I faced him and nodded. “I will. You should go now.” “Kelly, we’re on the same page, right?” I stared at him. No, Pierce. We’re never on the same page. All of these are just my stupid fantasies. I thought you had feelings for me and I was so wrong. “If it’s about the divorce, I understand everything, Pierce.
I know what I have to do. Just give me some time because I’m really busy with the company. I will not run away.” “Kelly, I’m not just doing this for myself. I’m also doing this for you. You’ve been caged with me ever since we got married. I know you’re not happy because deep inside, you also want to find the man you deserve. Someone who will really love you. Not me. Not someone who’s half-hearted.” “I understand what you’re trying to say, Pierce,” I said and tried to turn my back but he held me by the waist, keeping me in place. He did everything to capture my eyes and he succeeded. He looked at me worriedly. “You are my best friend. I don’t wanna lose you, Kels. You’re one of my few people…” “I know,” I said out of frustration. He looked shocked, so I calmed myself down. “I-I know. You don’t have to worry. I’m just stressed about work.
It’s not about our divorce.” His lips parted and he slowly nodded as if he was able to breathe properly. He walked towards me and I froze when he gently pecked my forehead… “Thank you, Kelly,” he whispered. My heart clenched. It had been three years but I was still such a coward. Why couldn’t you just tell him that you love him, Kelly? He’s your husband and you’re carrying his baby! Tell him and he might change his mind! I swallowed hard and was about to tell him but his phone rang. I didn’t miss the caller ID. Again, it was Lexi. ” I gotta go.” He scratched his head in apology and I didn’t miss the upturned corners of his mouth. “I called Luke and he’s waiting outside. Eat before you go, okay?” With that, he left our room. The tears I had managed to suppress burst out again. Why would I think I could have a chance? He made his choice already the moment he asked for the divorce, didn’t he? Whenever it came to Lexi, I was always the one he would abandon.
