Chapter 13 Brown Eyes
Kelly’s POV
I was drinking water while sitting on the couch. Pierce is in front of me, still scolding Luke. We’re in my condo unit. Pierce
actually wanted to bring me to his house but I insisted on going home to my condo.
“You can’t do this again, Luke. What if I wasn’t there? What could’ve happened to her?”
“Pierce, stop it. He’s my driver, not my bodyguard.”
“Then I’ll get you a fcking bodyguard!”
I pulled myself and stared into his eyes. “It’s my decision to make, Pierce.”
He looked at me worriedly. “Did you understand what’s going on, Kelly? You were stalked and you was wearing a mask and hoodie. That means he’s not a good person and he meant harm.
palmed my face and took a deep breath. “You didn’t think I’m not scared, right?”
He sighed and grabbed my arm. He made me sit on the couch and held my hands. He

For the following week, Pierce kept on checking on me in the company. He kept on sending me messages and asking my
whereabouts whenever I had business outside the company. He keeps on visiting me in my condo. Sometimes, I couldn’t
help but have an illusion that we never divorced and we were still a lovely couple.
Now again, he appeared at my door to pick me up so we could go together to the anniversary party.
“Pierce…” I called as I took a deep sigh.
He looked at me and pulled himself up. He walked towards me and held my arm. “Are you okay? What’s wrong?”
He was wearing a black suit and he looked dashing in his attire. His aura was intimidating. His lips were reddish and his brown eyes were so beautiful. God! If only I could keep him for myself forever.
I pulled my hand away from him and looked him in the eyes. “I know you’re worried but you shouldn’t come here whenever you want, Pierce. We’re divorced.”
His forehead immediately creased. “Does that take away my right to worry about you?”
1 shook my head. “I know your intention, but you shouldn’t cross the line. We’re just nothing but best friends now.
“Exactly! What kind of best friend doesn’t worry and visit his friend?”
“What kind of ex–husband visits his ex–wife, Pierce? Every single day? Without a miss?” I threw the question back at him. His lips parted as he looked into my eyes. I could feel his shock and frustration
I understand what he wants. He wants to keep me safe but he can’t do this. I’m trying to move on Yes, I needed his help last night but that’s what a friend should do, right? And this? What he is doing right now? It’s not a best friend’s duty. It’s a husband’s responsibility.
He slowly shook his head. “Kelly, I just want to keep you safe”
“I know but what you’re doing right now is a husband’s responsibility and you’re no longer my husband, Pierce ”
He was rendered speechless. He stared at me for God knows how long with pain and confusion in his eyes. After a few seconds, he looked away and took a step back. He shook his head and palmed his face as if the truth hurt him
He sucked his breath and looked at me again. “Are you kicking me out of your life?”

“I couldn’t get on with my life because you keep on making me want to depend on you. We can’t do this forever, Pierce. We have to draw our limitations. What would Lexi feel if she learned that you’re still visiting me-”
“Lexi and I aren’t dating.”
My forehead creased. “W–What?”
He shook his head and turned his back. I saw his jaws clenched as he spoke…
“I’ll call Luke to come back here and pick you up. I–I’ll be waiting at the party.”
I squeezed my eyes closed as I caressed my chest when he left after that. I bit my bottom lip and slowly sat on the couch. I
looked at my dress. The red dress hugged my body perfectly and it matched my skin tone. It was a dress given by Mrs. Anderson as a gift and she wants me to wear it for tonight. Actually, I thought about not wearing this, but I guess this would be the last request I would grant.
Luke came to pick me up and when we reached the venue, my eyes automatically set on two people standing next to each
other, talking. Lexi was whispering something to Pierce and she was laughing but he was not. His face was serious and I was shocked when he found me. Our eyes locked and even when he’s talking to someone else, he doesn’t take his eyes off of me.
I looked away and couldn’t help but curse my stupid heart. What are you expecting Kelly? That he said he was not dating Lexi
didn’t mean she was no longer his true love! Since
I spotted Pierce’s parents and Mr. Anderson do’ve decided to draw the line, then never look back!

When I looked at him, it was Chris. He was smiling as he walked towards me.
“Good evening, gorgeous.” He took my hand and kissed the back of it.
I smiled at him and roamed my eyes around thinking everyone was looking at us but everyone around us was busy in their own world. However, there was a pair of brown eyes darkened with anger looking at us, from the corner of the venue.
