Chapter 48 Pierce's POV 55 vouchers 99 Kelly shove me away . She doesn't wanna see me anymore . She didn't even believe me when I told her that I'm in love with her . It was all too late for us . I was too late when I realized my feelings . I couldn't bring back the time , but I want another chance to make things right . I was already with the person I should end up with , but I ruined everything because of my stupid feelings for Lexi . " Where have you been ? " I paused right after I entered my house . It was a new house given by my mother as a gift after my engagement with Lexi . She doesn't want to live in the same house where I used to live with Kelly and I don't want to live there too because in every corner of that house , I can see the woman I married . I swallowed hard and looked away . I walked towards the kitchen and she trailed me , asking the same question . " I'm asking you , Pierce . Where have you been ? You didn't come home for days . What's wrong with you ? " I didn't come home because I spent those days in the house where Kelly and I used to live . I tried to weigh my feelings and there was only one answer I could get even if I tried questioning myself over and over again . It was all Kelly . She was the only answer to my misery . " Pierce ! " Lexi screamed after she lost her temper . I drank water before I faced her . " My head is aching , Lexi . Let's just talk tomorrow ." " I don't care about your headache ! Answer my question now ! " I clenched my jaws . Kelly would worry about me and make me drink my migraine medicine whenever I tell her I'm having a headache . Lexi and Kelly were very different and I couldn't compare them because in every aspect , Kelly was and always better . Why didn't I realize it sooner ? " Did you meet your bitch of an ex - wife again ? Huh ?" My forehead creased as I looked at her , " Will you shut up ? I said I'm having a headache and you're making it worse ! " I DON'T CARE , PIERCE ! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME ? WHY ARE YOU HURTING ME WHEN YOU USED TO TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME ? " I was lost for words . I swallowed hard as guilt ate my conscience . Yes , I told her I love her but I was too stupid to say those words in the middle of longing for my ex - wife . I gave my word to Lexi . I told her that I will keep on loving her and give her the life she deserves but I didn't know that while I was trying to fulfill my promise to her , my feelings for Kelly would surface helplessly . Tears rolled down her cheeks , making me feel guilty even more . I took a step closer to her and gently wiped her tears . She was a victim of my stupidity . Just like Kelly , I hurt them because my feelings were messy . Everything is my fault so I have no one to blame but myself . 1/3 14:45 Wed , Sep 3 Chapter 48 55 vouchers 99 " Shh ! I'm sorry . Stop crying now ... " No ! You better tell me what you have been doing these past few days , Pierce ! You met with Kelly , right ? You think I won't know ? You think I'm blind and stupid ? You are already engaged to me- " " Exactly ! " I couldn't help but argue . " We're already engaged . You asked for an expensive engagement ring , I gave you that . You asked for a grand engagement party , I also gave you that . What more do you want , Lexi ? I already gave you everything- " " An heir ! I want an heir , Pierce ! " Once again , I was rendered speechless . I don't know what to say . Because of what she said , I suddenly remembered Kelly being pregnant with Klay Carver's child . I didn't know she would end up liking him when she hated him before . She's now carrying his child but my feelings for her remained the same . If this is not love , then I don't know what to call this . " Your grandma wants a great grandson , Pierce . Your father even said we should conceive an heir , but you're not cooperating . It seems like you don't want me to get pregnant and it's so frustrating ! " I averted my gaze from her . " Maybe it's not the right time for us to have a child- " " When will be the right time , Pierce ? You're even drifting away from me . This is all Kelly's fault ! " I looked at her again because of what she said . " She's not doing anything , Lexi . Don't try to find someone to blame because it was all me . " She laughed sarcastically . " You're defending her now ? " " Of course , I'll defend her . She's my best friend- " " She's no longer your friend , Pierce ! She doesn't want to be your friend anymore and she's already pregnant with another man's child . Give up on her because I'm going crazy thinking she's stealing you away from me ! " Her eyes were full of tears again . The guilt of putting her in this situation attacked me again . With the thought of comforting her , I calmed down and attempted to touch her face when she took a step back and started unbuttoning her blouse . My lips parted in shock . " If it's not because of Kelly , then make love to me now . " " You're just angry- " We already fcked multiple times when she was away , Pierce ! Now , you won't even touch me just because she came back ? If you're really not seeing her , make love to me . I want to be pregnant , Pierce . I want to carry your child ! " I pressed my lips together as I shook my head . Without a single word , I walked past her , leaving her in the kitchen . I was walking towards the bedroom when I heard her screaming and calling my name , followed by her painful cries . 2/3 14:45 Wed , Sep 3 Chapter 48 55 vouchers I have another woman in my heart .

He angrily threw photos on my table and I was alarmed after realizing that it was me and Kelly . Some of it was taken last night outside her apartment . Some were taken when I met her again after she came back to the country . " You're meeting Kelly secretly ? Are you really an asshole ? You agreed to divorce her and now , you're like a dog chasing your previous owner ? " " These are nothing- " " NOTHING ? " He shouted and slammed his fists on my table . From the corner of my eyes , I saw my employees looking our way through the glass door . " The press took these photos , Pierce ! Are you really that hungry for women that you want to fck two women . at a time ? " " Don't talk like that to Kelly , dad . She's not doing anything . We met by accident and it's a common courtesy to greet people you know- " " Not with your ex - wife , bastard ! Did you see the sales report this month ? You realized you're failing your duty as the Executive , right ? These are all because you're losing your focus and you're being a dumbass ! " I looked away . I'm fully aware of that .
