Betrayed by Husband, Divorced when Pregnant

Chapter 20: Chapter 20 True Colors

Kelly’s POV

I was watching the photoshoot of Chris and Lexi for the magazine cover. Lexi seemed to be enjoying it but Chris was a bit distracted. He kept on glancing my way and I felt like the staff around would notice it any minute from now.

To get his attention off of me, I pulled myself up and decided to take some fresh air outside.

I finished fixing my makeup but when I was about to exit, Lexi appeared at the door. She was already smirking as if she knew that I was here.

I don’t have any intention to pay attention to her. I could still feel the anger whenever I see her face and the last thing I want is to put my baby at risk just because of this cunning bitch.

“You look lonely, Miss Vice President.”

Through the mirror in front of the sink, I saw her looking at my face, mocking me. She chuckled when I paused and stared at her, annoyed. She started washing her hands while still smiling.

“No matter how hard you try to wash your hands, you’re still dirty. You’re still a mistress.”

Her mocking smile slowly faded as her eyes sharpened because of what I said.

I smirked. “You look angry, Miss two-faced supermodel.”

She gritted her teeth and was about to slap me when I pushed her. Her side bumped into the sink and she groaned in pain.

“Damn you! Pierce is mine to begin with! You’re just a substitute, Kelly! He just married you because he was lonely when I left. Do you think you matter to him? I can even flip all your pictures in his house while he’s watching.”

Really? I looked at her blankly.

“Why don’t you ask him why he’s still keeping our wedding rings? Maybe he’ll tell you ‘honestly’ if I don’t really matter.”

She looked very angry now and her face started turning red. “Isn’t your slutty trick to hold men in your dirty little fingers? Fcking them and then leaving them your personal thing so they’d get crazy over you just like how you left your lipstick to Chris. What? To remind him how your lips sucked his d-ck disgustingly?”

My forehead creased. “What did you say?”

She laughed sarcastically. “What now? You think I didn’t know? Chris has been licking your lipstick like a disgusting madman. Argh! I feel like vomiting whenever I think about it.”

My heart started racing. I couldn’t believe what she said. No! She might just be playing with me.

I walked out on her to confront Chris with trembling hands and a racing heart. I remember the man who stalked me in the parking lot. I remember the drone. Oh my God!

I paused as my trembling worsened when I saw the man on the lounge. He was sitting while staring at the lipstick on his hand. His eyes were mad. His smile was so creepy. It’s Chris and he’s holding my lipstick.

I cupped my mouth in shock and I was even more frightened when he seemed to feel my presence and he looked my way.

My eyes widened when he pulled himself up. The trembles in my lips reached my hands as I started running in fear. No! No!

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

“Kelly!”

I covered my ears rushing desperately out of the house. Scenes after scenes from these days flashed before my eyes and I really wanted to scream out aloud. I couldn’t believe that the man who had been stalking and spying on me had been right next to me the whole time, and I had foolishly thought of Christ as a good man. A good friend.

I had to find someplace safe to hide. Some place that they could never find me.

"KELLY!"

A familiar voice filled my ear at the same time I heard the 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 I caught the figure of Chris a street away from us. I panicked again.

"I need to leave, Pierce." I trembled even more and my eyes mirrored my fear.

“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 didn’t know how to tell him. Other than the lipstick I had no other evidence that the man was Chris. Will he believe me? Will he believe me? I don’t know but I should at least try. He’s my...best friend after all.

“It’s Chris...” I swallowed hard as I looked into his eyes and then I could see anger burning in it. “H-He’s the man who’s been...stalking me.”

His expression darkened as he clenched his jaws, “So it’s really Chris Parker? My instincts were right?”

My lips parted as I frowned. “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. What?

“I asked someone to look after you, Kelly. As soon as I received a photo of my wife being followed by some creepy ex-suitor, I finished the business trip earlier.”

I stared at him blankly, slowly losing to anger. “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!"

I couldn’t hold my temper anymore, "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 f-film me? Did you know that I still couldn’t sleep properly at night thinking someone was watching me? Did you know? Of course you don’t because you only think about yourself!”

His face paled as he looked at me with a shocked face and his voice soon turned irritated, “H-He filmed...you?”
