Happiness 28_Pregnant By My Best Friend Alpha

Chapter 28 Ain’t Working For Me

 Kelly’s POV

 ‘My future husband is your best friend so we’re expecting you at our engagement party. Don’t disappoint us, Kelly.‘

 I balled my fists and threw the invitation on the floor. I sat on the bed and cupped my head as I tried to calm myself down. I can’t break down again. I might put my baby’s life at risk and that’s the veryst thing I’d want to happen. My baby before anything else.

 I caressed my belly that’s almost four months old. The baby bump is starting to show. I swallowed hard and squeezed my eyes as I reminisced about the old days. Lexi has always been Pierce’s great love. He was in love with her ever since. How can I rece the woman who never left his heart in the first ce? Lexi was right. I was just a substitute. Pierce would never look at me the way I wanted him to look at me. He would never love me the way I loved him.<fn01f7> ???s ??????? ?s ?????? ?? Find★Novel</fn01f7>

 I remember those days I always caught him watching Lexi from afar when we were in high school. While I was looking at him, he was looking at her. He’s happier when he’s with her. Of course, he is. He’s happier with her and he’s moved on just easily. It’s a waste that it’s not working for me.

 My mind was still

 body in ce.

 “I’m sorry…”

 y…

 a mess when I heard the door open. A familiar scent filled my nose as I gripped the sheets and kept my

 “I didn’t…mean to startle you. I just…don’t know how to restrain my feelings anymore.”

 I pressed my lips together. It was my fault too. I didn’t stop

 im sooner. It was toote when I realized what I was doing. I allowed him to kiss me and touch me. He wasn’t the only one at fault. I let my guard down and I became a ve to my own desire for a few moments.

 Thinking about what happened in thefort room still makes me feel hot. My heart was still racing inside my chest as I listened to him, trying to exin his side.

 I don’t know… If this isn’t attraction or lust–driven by pregnancy hormones, I don’t know what it is. y is my stepbrother. I never liked him because he’s cold and ruthless. I never imagined myself getting along with him but I admit that in those two months together, I’ve learned to ept that I’m stuck with him and I can’t do anything about it. This might just be because he’s always beside me, supporting me.

 I immediately opened my eyes when I pictured Pierce’s face in my mind again. His memory is still haunting me. Our story didn’t end well. I should probably face reality to be able to move on because from what I’m seeing, I’m the only one who’s still stuck in the past.

 A nket rolled on my body, covering me. y’s action brought me back to the present and my fingers balled into a fist.

 “I’m not asking you to forgive me because I’m given another chance, I will do it over and over again…”

 My lips parted. What…

 “My feelings for you were real. I don’t care if you’re my stepsister. I will break everyw in the world just to have you. I meant everything I said and I won’t take it back. If I’m given another chance, I’ll kiss you again and make you feel that he’s not the only one who can make your knees tremble. I am here, Kelly. You don’t need a two–timing *sshole to be happy” 

 My heart raced because of what he said. Whether because of nervousness or anticipation. I don’t know. All I know is I can’t entertain his feelings I also want to focus on my baby and bury my feelings for my ex–husband For now, that’s my priority.

 I pretended to be asleep until I felt him leave the room. I sucked my breath and bit my bottom lip after I heard the door closed

 I took a deep breath before I <by my back straight on the bed and stared at the closed door. My forehead creased when in the corner of my eyes, I noticed the engagement invitation on the bedside table y pick it on the floor?

 I didn’t know what time I fell asleep. I just woke up the next day feeling so hungry. Right! I didn’t eat properly. I totally forgot.

 I caressed my tummy. “I’m sorry, baby…”

 A knock disturbed me followed by a voice. “Kelly, are you awake?”

 y…

 I swallowed hard and sucked my breath. No! I should forget about what happenedst night.

 “My feelings for you were real…” His wordsst night echoed in my head. I don’t even wanna remember any part of his words. –

 I palmed my face and shook my head. Shut it, Kelly!

 I took a deep breath and got off the bed. I walked towards the door and opened it. I came face to face with y whose face was nk, as usual, and his eyes were cold.

 “Breakfast is ready. We should before we go.”

 Today is our flight back to the country where my father has been living. However, I want to go to another country. I’ve decided. I need to face the truth or I will never get over him.

 “I want to go to another country,” I said as I stared into his eyes.

 He clenched his jaws. “The engagement…”

 I slowly nodded. “I wanna go, y.”

 ???? ????? ?????? ??????????? ????

 I know he won’t agree with what I want. For two months, I knew he was doing everything to avoid all the things that would

 remind me of Pierce but this time, I don’t wanna be controlled. I want to be in control of my own l

 life.

 I was expecting him to say no. So I’m thinking about the words that I will say once he refuses.

 He looked down and nodded. When he looked at me again, his eyes softened. “I’ll go with you.”

 The shock was visible on my face because of his answer. I don’t know what to say. He agreed to what I want but he wants to

 go with me. I actually wanna go alone but I know that even my father won’t allow me to go alone so it’s okay.

 “I’ll go with you. I’ll be everywhere you go, Kelly.”
