Chapter My Best Friend Left Me After 35
Blooming Flower
Kelly's POV
I know my words were rude and cruel but I can't think of anything to make him stop. He needs to stop because
he's already getting married and I promis J his mother that I won't get involved with him anymore. I know I hurt his mother before when I told them I wanted to divorce Pierce and I don't want to disappoint her again even when I think she didn't really consider me as her daughter like what she told me before.
Pierce was stuck and confused with my words. I used that chance to turn my back on him and just as I was about to leave, a car stopped in front of me.
I know this car and I confirmed my hunch when the passenger seat's window rolled down, revealing the man sitting behind the steering wheel.
"Get in," his voice was cold and low just enough for me to hear.
My forehead creased. Annoyance filled me as I thought about him following me all the way here. I clearly told him that I want to go out alone but he's here already? I wasn't even gone for a day.
He must've sensed that I wanted to just ignore him. He glanced at the person- behind me and whispered... "You must've told him we're together. You'll blow up your cover if you walk away from me. Left with no choice, I slipped myself inside, the passenger seat. I swallowed
hard after putting my seatbelt on and rolling the window up. From the corner of my eyes, I could still see Pierce standing where I left him but I have no intention of going back or even looking back. "Is this why you go out?" Klay broke the silence as soon as he started driving."
To meet him?"
My eyebrows furrowed as I slowly turned to him. His face was darkened with irritation and his eyes
were sharply directed to the road. His grip on the steering wheel was so tight and I feel like he would lash out on me anytime if I pick the wrong words. However, I'm not scared of him anymore. "I'm not responsible for your thoughts. Think whatever you want to think."
I jumped in shock when he slammed the steering wheel. "Bullshit, Kelly!"
I looked at him in disbelief. "I won't explain anything to you, Klay! I already told. you I want to live my life-"
"And then what? Go back to him?"
I balled my fists. "You're impossible!"
"It's you who's impossible, Kelly! Didn't you tell his mother that you already have someone? Why are you with him?"
My lips parted in shock. "You've been stalking me?"
He pulled the car over and looked at me while taking his seatbelt off. I held my breath and squeezed myself against the window when he leaned on me with a blank face and sharp gaze.
I jumped on my seat when he slammed his fists on the head rest of the passenger seat. "I will give you everything you want, Kelly. Even your freedom.. But if you're gonna go running back to him after you get your freedom back, then might as well cage you in my hellish pa "What the hell are you talking about, Klay?"
The corner of his lips rose. "You are the only blooming flower in my paradise. and I would do everything to keep you that way. You should cooperate with me, Kelly. I'm just protecting you."
Panicking, I pushed him with all my might and took my phone out. I looked for my father's number and looked him in the eyes. "I will call my father and tell him that you're harassing, Klay. You know how important I am to him. He will not think twice to kick you out once I tell He slowly grabbed my hand and pressed the call button himself. I was shocked with what he did. He seemed so confident that I
won't be able to convince my father to kick him out and it pisses me even more. My eyes. mirrored my hatred and I know he saw it clearly because he clenched his jaws. and his expression changed.
I lifted my chin after earning some courage because of his reaction. "You will be kicked out and replaced, Klay. I will make sure of that."
He stared into my eyes intensely. His eyes made me still and my heart started
3/3
racing as I gasped for air.
The call was picked up, interrupting us. I swallowed hard as I stared at the screen and was about to speak when a woman spoke from the other line.
[Hello?]
A woman... Pain made my heart clenched as I remembered one fact about my dad. He couldn't live without a woman. Of course, he got himself another wife. After my mom and Klay's mom, he got another woman to play with. [Who's this? My husband is in the shower at the moment. You can leave your message. I'll relay it to him.]
Gritting my teeth, I ended the call in a hurry and pushed the car's door open. I marched out of the car and slammed the door.
What do I expect from my father? He never fails to disappoint me. He's always like that.
"I hate you so much!" I said gritting my teeth as I walked towards the house. I want to get away from Pierce who hurt me, from Klay who manipulates me and from my father who's constantly disappointing me. Oh God! Why is everybody doing this to me? Klay's men who's guarding the door opened it for me. I was about to just go upstairs and lock myself in my room when I saw someone sitting on the couch. A woman wearing a very revealing
red dress. She's beautiful and has an hourglass body. Her lips were so red as if inviting every man to kiss her. Her legs were crossed, almost revealing her panties.
Who is she?
