Chapter 25: Chapter 25 A Stick Called the Truth

Pierce’s POV

I’ve been waiting for Kelly in front of her family’s villa. I know Klay Carver would bring her here. I just don’t know when. I never heard anything about her again after I left the hospital where she was admitted. I was beyond crushed that day. I have no strength to even move. It was Lexi who brought me back to the hospital that day.

I sighed and gripped the steering wheel of my car thinking I have to go home disappointed again. Just when I’m about to go home, I saw a group of cars approaching. I swallowed hard as I felt my heart race. She must be there.

I couldn’t move as I watched the group of cars. Hope filled me when I saw Klay Carver get out of the car. I know Kelly will come out next and I was right but I felt like everything around me disappeared and my world stopped spinning when Carver wrapped his arm around her waist and...they kissed.

My breathing hitched as my vision started to darken. My heated conversation with Klay Carver in the hospital came rushing back in my mind. The way he confidently tells me that Kelly doesn’t hate him. The way he smashed my face with the truth that he was her first. The way he crushed my confidence and made me so fcking insecure.

I felt something in the corner of my eyes as I gripped the steering wheel.

I started to breathe heavily as I averted my gaze from them and buried my face on the steering wheel. “Why did you do this to me, Kelly?”

Why does it have to be him? I’ve always been protective of her but I’m confident that no matter who courts her, she would always come back to me because I’m important to her but with Klay Carver...I know I’m no match for him.

I lifted my face again as anger took over me. My eyes landed on the two rings on my finger. Because of anger, I took it off and threw it on the floor of the car.

I sucked my breath and balled my fists. I drove really fast to the nearest bar and drowned myself in alcohol.

Kelly always came back when I was drowning myself in alcohol. She became my salvation and the only person who listened to me. She brought me hope and I wish she’d come tonight to knock some sense in me but she didn’t.

Bitterness crept into my heart as I thought of the possibility that she was sleeping with Klay Carver while I was drowning myself in alcohol.

“Goddamn it, Kelly!”

My vision was spinning when I got home. My forehead creased when I saw someone waiting for me. It was Lexi.

“Pierce!” She ran to me worriedly.

Right! I should direct my attention to Lexi. I waited for this woman to come back. She was the one I wanted even before. I should move on and forget about Kelly.

I squeezed my eyes closed as my chest tightened when the image of Kelly and Klay Carver kissing.

Maybe it’s time for us to drift apart. I’ve been protecting Kelly all these years. Maybe it’s time for me to step back and let her have the life she deserves. If she has feelings for Klay Carver, it’s her chance to be happy. It’s our chance to forgive each other and live a life of our own.

I should...let her go.

I was taken aback when Lexi suddenly kissed me. The warmth of her lips enveloped my cold lips.

“Do you still love me, Pierce?”

I stared at Lexi. Yes. I wanted to answer but I couldn’t open my lips. In the end, I cupped her jaws and crashed my lips on hers. I kissed her hungrily as I caressed her cheek and she wrapped her legs around my waist. I walked towards the couch and sat there. I pulled away from the kiss and took her dress off. I pressed my palms against her stomach and licked her collarbone. She moaned as her fingers messed my hair up. We kissed hungrily again as she unbuckled my belt. It didn’t take us long until I felt my length rubbing against her creamy folds as she danced on my lap.

I’m gonna forget about you now, Kelly. I just hope he can make you happy because I can’t promise not to run after you once I see you crying because of him. I’ll give way to your happiness but I will never stop caring about you.

“Ah! Pierce!” Lexi moaned erotically as our bodies joined together. I grabbed her neck and kissed her lips to keep her mouth shut.

Goodbye, Kelly.

Kelly’s POV

What happened yesterday was a mistake but I couldn’t take it off of my mind. It keeps playing in my head like a broken CD and I couldn’t do anything about it. I feel like I’m going crazy. He’s my stepbrother and never in my wildest dream that I thought of kissing him like that...although it was unintentional.

I jumped in shock when someone knocked on the door.

“W-Who’s there?”

“Come out. It’s time for breakfast.”

My lips parted after I heard Klay’s voice. I’m not ready to face him after what happened but...why would I avoid him? It’s not like I did that intentionally. And he’s my stepbrother. There should be no malice in that accidental kiss. It’s fine with him, anyway. He’s not affected.

“I’ll be out in a minute.”

I got off the bed and went to the bathroom. I washed my face and brushed my teeth. When I stepped out of my room, I jumped in shock when I saw Klay standing beside my door. His back was resting against the wall. He was playing with his rubik’s cube again while there was a stick between his lips.

My forehead creased as I tried to calm myself. “What are you doing here?

“Waiting.”

My jaws dropped. “You don’t have to.”

He slowly bore his eyes at me. His blank and cold eyes remained dark. “Here’s your phone. I charged it last night.”

I stared at him in shock. “You know that I might contact Pierce and tell him to pick me up, right?”

He clenched his jaws as he faced me. “I can ruin his whole career and his company, Kelly. Your choice.”

I pressed my lips together as I watched him walk away from me. I gritted my teeth and sucked my breath. I turned my phone on while I was walking downstairs to follow him in the kitchen when I received a message from an unknown number.

My heart was torn apart as soon as I opened the message and realized who sent it. It was from Lexi and she sent me a photo of herself and Pierce, both naked and kissing...on the bed where I used to sleep.
