Betrayed by Husband, Divorced when Pregnant

Chapter 24: Chapter 24 The Accidental Kiss

Kelly’s POV

“What’s going on?” I asked Klay after he went back inside my hospital room again. I feel like I heard a familiar voice. I just couldn’t tell who owns that voice.

He shook his head and walked towards me. He sat on the chair beside the bed. “Nothing. Just some of my stupid men.”

I nodded and stared at him. “Why are you really here, Klay?”

I don’t know why he came back. Whatever the reason is, I don’t wanna be involved with him. He’s a dangerous and ruthless man. Klay’s biological father was a member of a mafia organization and that makes him a dangerous person. However, I couldn’t deny that he’s the one who can protect me when the critical moment comes.

I was afraid of him. I’ve always been afraid of my stepbrother. Not just because he inherited his father’s position in that dangerous organization but because he shows no mercy to anyone. He’s evil and he became more evil when his biological mother died.

He became colder and he trusted no one. However, when I was kidnapped before, aside from my father, he saved me too. He was there. He protected me when that evil kidnapper almost had his way with me. My father saved me from the kidnapper when he stripped naked and attempted to violate me. When I successfully ran away from the kidnapper with the help of my father, Klay came and wrapped his arms around me. He embraced me in the middle of the chaos and that’s when I realized that no matter how evil he was, he was one of the few people who could protect me.

Ever since that night, I trusted Klay more than I trusted my own father. I lived under the same roof with him and my father but I can only trust Klay with my life. He helped me transfer to another school after my abduction and that’s when I met Pierce. Klay was the reason why I met Pierce and now, he’s taking me away from him.

“You can no longer have access to any of your gadgets, Kelly. I forbid you to contact anyone.”

I pressed my lips as I looked at him with hatred. He knew that I didn’t want anyone dictating to me but he’s doing it. However, my fear is consuming me. I know that I can’t disobey him. Aside from the fact that he’s a dangerous man. My life is in danger and he’s powerful enough to protect me.

“Why are you doing this to me?” I asked with a hoarse voice.

He crossed his legs and stared at me blankly. “What else? I’m protecting you and that life inside you.”

I gasped in shock as I hugged myself. He knew! I don’t know if it’s a good idea or what. If he knows, he will protect my baby too. But, I don’t know what he would do now that he knew I’m carrying Pierce’s child.

“Don’t look at me like that, Kelly. I’m not gonna harm a kid.”

I shook my head. “Why did you come back?”

“I already told you the reason.”

“No!” I shook my head again. “I know you won’t come back just to protect me.”

His dark and cold eyes stared into mine and I felt goosebumps. He’s always the mysterious man I never wanted to get involved with.

“You will find out soon. For now, I don’t want you to disobey me. Your meal will be here any minute.”

I swallowed hard. I should at least contact Pierce and inform him that I’m okay. I know he’s worried about me but I also know that Klay won’t let me have my phone even just for a minute.

“W-When can I go home?”

“I’ll take you home once I make sure that you’re okay.”

I nodded. He’s too uptight. Nevermind. I can just find a way to contact Pierce once I get discharged. For now, I should be glad that my baby is okay.

I spent a week in the hospital. During those days I’ve been hoping that Pierce would come to see me. I was hoping and dreaming that he’d come desperately, asking to see me. But no. He didn’t come. I didn’t even see his hair or his shadow. I couldn’t be more disappointed. He failed on that part again.

“Are you done packing?” Klay asked when he entered the hospital room.

I looked at him. “Almost.”

“I got all your things in your condo.”

My forehead creased. “Huh?”

“You’re going to live with me, Kelly.”

I let out a violent gasp as I stared at his emotionless eyes. “Klay, I didn’t agree with that!”

“I didn’t need your agreement on that, Kelly. I am older than you. You should obey me.”

I pressed my lips together and balled my fists. He stared at me for a second before he walked towards me and grabbed my balled fists. I was shocked when he caressed my fists as if calming me down.

“You probably won’t understand but I’m doing all of this for your sake.”

“No, you’re not!”

“I am the only one who can protect you, Kelly. I know you know that.”

I shook my head as I kept my tears from falling. I felt like a bird being kept in a cage, robbed of freedom.

“Don’t worry, I won’t bother you while we’re living together. I just want you to obey me and try not to see Pierce Anderson again.”

“Klay!”

“I will ruin him, Kelly. And you know I don’t joke.”

I was not in myself as we rode his car and traveled. His threat has been clouding my mind ever since we left the hospital. I’m scared and worried about Pierce. I was just staring out the window. He’s sitting beside me while the driver is driving silently. There was a group of cars in front and behind us and I’m assuming those are Klay’s men. He’s that powerful and dangerous.

“We’re here.”

I lazily nodded and moved to where he was sitting as he got out of the car. He offered his hand to me which I refused so when I lost balance after seeing where he brought me, I couldn’t help but grab onto his shoulders to save myself from falling.

I felt him wrap his arm around my waist as his other hand held my wrist. My heart almost stopped beating after I felt something soft, wet, and warm pressed on my lips.

I was dazed. I couldn’t move and so he was. We kissed accidentally and that was beyond my imagination.
