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

True Colors

Kelly's POVProperty of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

I was watching the photoshoot of Chris and Lexi for the magazine cover. Lexi seems to be enjoying it but Chris is a bit distructed. He kept on glancing my way

and I feel like the saff, around will notice it any minute from now. To get his attention off of me, I pulled myself up and decided to leave.

Luke is waiting in the parking lot as I instructed him. I took my phone out when it beeped. I gripped it when I read a message from the same unknown number that has been sending me messages.

I don't wanna talk to him but he keeps on insisting to meet. I already removed him in my life the moment he betrayed me and chose his other family. He started sending me messages last year and even up until now, he's been messaging me at least twice or thrice in a mon He's my father. He was a perfect father for me not until I learned about his sins.

When I reached the parking lot, I slowed down when I saw Luke smoking in front of the car while holding something very familiar.

My heart instantly raced after I recognized what's in his hand. It was my missing lipstick!

My lips trembled and I jumped in nervousness. He started walking towards me with a blank face. It's probably because of the trauma that I encountered that I turned my back and started walking away from him.

The trembles in my lips reached my hands as I started running in fear.

"MISS"

"KELLY!"

Two familiar voices filled my ear the same time I heard a loud horn of a car. I screamed when someone pulled my wrist. We lost balance and I fell on top of him. He groaned underneath me as he hugged my small frame, protecting me.

"What the fck are you thinking, Kelly? Are you trying to kill yourself?" Pierce scolded me as soon as our eyes met. He was scolding me while checking my

body for a possible injury.

"Pierce..."

"What's wrong with you?" He asked with a hoarse voice and worried eyes.

That's when Luke squatted beside us and offered his hand to me. I looked at him as my eyes mirrored my fear. I saw him clenched his jaws and hid his hand.

"Why are you running? Who are you running from? Did that bastard show up again? Where is he?" Pierce started throwing me questions and I couldn't answer him. I just had an argument with him yesterday. I told him to leave me alone but here we are again. I'm back to his arms again, helplessly.

"Kelly...

know

I gasped as I slowly stood on my feet. I looked at Luke and he's staring at my face. His face was serious again. Come to think of it. I don't completely him. He was just a mysterious man who applied to be a driver and I trusted him even when I only knew his name and age. "Kelly, I'm talking to you." Pierce grabbed my shoulders and made me face him. I swallowed hard as I looked into his eyes.

I swallowed hard. I should face this problem. If that asshole is really Luke, I need to know why he's doing that to me and I can't confront him in front of

Pierce.

I shook my head. "Nothing."

"Liar!" Pierce glared at me. "I know you too well. I know when you're okay and when you're not."

I looked away. "I'll tell you later."

"Wha? Why not now?"

"I need to talk to Luke," I answered as I stared into Luke's eyes.

"No-"

I looked at Pierce and he immediately stopped and clenched his jaws. "What would you two talk about?"

I stared at him blankly. He stared back for a few seconds before he turned his

back and walked away until he's a few meters away from us.

I faced Luke again as I gathered all my courage to ask... "W-Why do you have my lipstick?"

He looked me in the eyes. "Would you believe me if I tell you where I found

this?"

I glanced at the lipstick on his palm. I shook my had and swallowed hard. "I–I

don't know..."

He sighed. "I know you won't trust me. So I decided to find more concrete evidence before letting you know about this."

"Luke, you have to convince me that it wasn't you. You saw me that night. You saw me shaking in fear. If it's not you, then at least tell me what you

discovered while investigating what happened. You can't keep me in the dark. I'm involved with this.."

He shook his head. "I haven't found anything besides this lipstick."

"Where did you get that?"

He lifted his face and stared into my eyes. "In Chris Parker's car."

My eyes immediately widened. "What?"

"Would you believe me who's a stranger to you? Do you believe he can do that

or I'll be the one to take the fall?"

My forehead creased. "What are you talking about? I've known Chris since I was in college. He's my friend too."

"So, I'll take the fall," he said as he slowly nodded.

"Luke, what you're saying is nonsense."

He stared at my face. Relieved is in his eyes now. "At least you're not scared. anymore."

"What?"

"You shouldn't run away from me like that, Miss," he said with a very serious voice. That's when Pierce came back and stood beside me.

"What's with Chris Parker?" Pierce asked.

I shook my head and walked past him. "Let's go, Luke."

"Answer me. Kelly. What's with Chris Parker?"

I paused and shook my head again as I answered without looking at him. "It's nothing, Pierce."

""Was it him? Were my instincts right?"

My lips parted as I immediately faced him. "What are you talking about? What instinct?"

He looked at me with a grim expression on his face. "I told you he's not a good man. He's been hiding his real color. He can't be trusted, Kelly."

"Then, why did you accept him as our new model?"

"Because I saw him following you two months ago."

"Two months ago, you're not here!"

"You think I'll leave my wife alone without someone looking after her?"

My forehead creased as I glanced at Luke. What?

"It's not him, Kelly. I asked someone to look after you and he sent me a photo of my wife being followed by some creepy ex-suitor."

I stared at him. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I'm trying to find a way to ruin him completely, Kelly. Even if I put him to jail now, he can get away because of his wealth and reputation."

I shook my head as tears pooled in the corner of my eyes. "You knew! You knew all this time but you didn't do anything! Did you know how scared I was when he stalked me in the parking lot, huh? Did you know how scared I was when he used a drone to film me? Did you His face paled as he looked at me with a shocked face. "H-He filmed...you?"

angrily wiped my tears that rolled down my cheeks in so much anger. "I don't care who he is. He violated my privacy. Stole my personal things and creeped me out. I don't fcking care who he is, Pierce. I won't wait for three months

trying to find a hole in his existence just so I could ruin him. If I were in your shoes, I would've played dirty and put him behind bars immediately! You call yourself my husband and best friend but you let a very dangerous man near me?"

He gritted his teeth as rage flickered in his eyes. He rushed to the studio and I just watched him with balled fists. He couldn't even protect me properly.

I went in the opposite direction to go to the parking lot. I glared at Luke when he opened the door for me. He's no different from Pierce.
