Betrayed by Husband, Divorced when Pregnant

Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Greatest Rival

Pierce’s POV

My body still felt weak but I insisted on visiting Kelly. I want to know her condition to make sure that she’s okay and also to talk about her. I wanna tell her about my family’s decision. She’s part of my life so I want her to have part of everything that’s happening to me.

When I reached Kelly’s hospital room, I took a deep breath and was about to knock when the door slid open and a man stepped out of Kelly’s room. My lips parted in shock after I came face to face with a familiar man with the coldest personality in the world.

Kelly doesn’t like him. She doesn’t even wanna talk about him. I just discovered that she has a stepbrother on our very wedding day. He showed up on our wedding day with Kelly’s father and from the very first time I saw him, I already hated him.

“Pierce Anderson,” he uttered my name and smirked. “Didn’t know you’re stupid enough to get into the devil’s radar.”

I balled my fists. “Klay Carver...”

I don’t know why he’s here but one thing is for sure. He was the one who saved Kelly. Otherwise, Kelly would’ve been in the same hospital as me.

“You failed to say my name properly. It’s Klay ‘the devil’ Carver.”

I clenched my jaws. “You are still so fcking arrogant. Why are you here? What did you do to Kelly?”

His forehead creased. “I should be the one asking you that, asshole. What did you do to Kelly?”

I shook my head, keeping my cool. I need to see Kelly. That’s the reason why I’m here. “Get out of my way. I need to see Kelly.”

“I won’t let you.”

I balled my fist. “Get the fck out of my way, Carver!”

“I’m not giving you the satisfaction to see her, Anderson. Leave before I bury a bullet between your eyes. You don’t deserve to see her.”

I don’t deserve to see her? Fck him! Between the two of us, he’s the one who doesn’t have the right.

I gritted my teeth. “You have no right to tell me what to do, Carver. You are just her stepbrother who she never liked. You better make a way for me or I’ll make you make a way.”

He started laughing sarcastically. I gritted my teeth again as anger took over me. For all the years I spent with Kelly, she never once mentioned this man. I knew then that she hated him because he was not a good man.

“You don’t even know about me. Did Kelly tell you that she hates me? I bet ’NO’. She doesn’t hate me, Anderson. In fact, she likes me very, very much.”

“Don’t make me laugh, Carver.”

“I’m not trying, Anderson. Why don’t you ask her who got her virginity? I bet she won’t tell you. Ever.”

I balled my fist. “Shut the fck up! I don’t fcking give a damn to whoever her first was. I’m not dumb to make that a big deal.”

He smiled devilishly. “Even if I tell you that I’m her first?”

My forehead creased as I suddenly felt deaf. “W-What?”

I feel like my world was crushed because of what he said. Truth be told, I always see Klay Carver as my greatest competitor when it comes to Kelly and her attention. Klay Carver was the only one who could crush me when it came to Kelly. He was the only one who could make me feel insecure. He’s Kelly’s stepbrother and I feel like between the two of us, he’s always ahead of me when it comes to Kelly.

“If you hadn’t come into the picture, she would’ve married me,” he said, still smirking.

I slowly shook my head. No! He’s just trying to make me give up on her. There’s no way in hell that I would give her up.

“You can’t make me give up on her, Carver.”

“Did I ever tell you how delicious she was? Did you ever hear her scream in so much pleasure–”

I did not let him finish. I punched him in the face but because I still felt weak, my punch was too weak. This fcking bastard doesn’t deserve to see even Kelly’s hair.

He laughed and licked the side of his bleeding lips. “Punch like a man, asshole!”

I coughed and fell on the floor when he punched my stomach. I groaned and cupped my stomach. Argh!

I tried to pull myself up and attack him again but he landed another punch, on my face this time. I was too weak to even protect myself and it made me even more miserable. I was too weak to save Kelly from drowning. I was there with her but I couldn’t even save her. I was too weak. It’s my fault that she’s now under Klay Carver’s wings. I pushed her into the devil’s lair.

Fck!

“Pierce!” Lexi suddenly appeared beside me and held my face. She angrily glared at Klay Carver. “What did you do?”

“You must be the third party.”

“Shut up! Who do you think you are?”

I groaned. Why is she here? “Lex...”

“You’re too weak, Anderson. Physically and emotionally. You can’t even resist temptation and chose to lose Kelly over that slut. I will never forgive you.”

“Let Kelly go, Carver! Don’t you dare control her life!”

“Who said I’m controlling her life, Anderson? I came back to fix her messy life. Her messy life that you created. Your time is up. I’m taking her back now.”

No! Fck! “Carver!”

“Don’t you dare play with Kelly’s feelings anymore, Anderson. You’ve done enough damage to her. You better set boundaries or I will crush you together with your company. I will make sure that you will kiss the dust and you will never, ever see Kelly again. Don’t get on my bad side. Run away while I can still be a little nice.”

I balled my fists as I felt so miserable while he went back inside Kelly’s room. I feel pathetic. I couldn’t do anything when I was already so close to reaching her.
