My Best Friend Left Me After 47
Let It Go
Kelly's POV
How did he find me? I don't
know what to do while standing in front of him. He was holding my hands while kneeling in front of me. The corner of my eyes. pooled with tears. Seeing him like this breaks my heart. I let him go so he can finally be happy with the woman he truly loves but why is he like thi His hair grew. He even has facial hair now. His eyes has dark circles around and he seemed to have lose weight.
"H-How did you find me?"
He shook his head, "I'm sorry. I-I've been following you."
I squeezed my eyes closed and pulled my hands back. "What are you doing, Pierce? Why are you doing this?"
My heart feels so heavy. The content of his diary was still messing with my mind and now he's here, messing with my heart. Why is he so complicated? Why is he doing this to me? He asked me to let him
I
go because he wants hist first love back, now he wants me back? For what reason?
I pressed my lips together and looked at him with a hardened expression, "Your should leave, Pierce. You're just drunk."
"No, Kelly. I know what I'm doing even when I'm drunk. I want you back and I'm certain that when I wake up tomorrow, I'd still want you back."
He tried to touch my hand again but I angrily pushed him, "You can't just do this, Pierce! You can't ask me to let you go and take you back whenever you want. I'm not some toy you can play with. Stop messing with me!" "I-I regret it..."
My lips parted as I sucked my breath. I looked away as I felt that my tears were about to fall. He regret it? Guess what? It's too late for him to regret it.
"It's too late, Pierce."
"Ni, Kels. Please give me another chance. I will do better this time. I will love you right this time. Just give me another chance, please..."
I laughed sarcastically to keep my tears from falling. He'll love me right this time? What if I give him another chance and then he realizes that he loves his first love more than he loves me. He'll ask me to free him again? "Your feelings were so messy, Pierce. You are just confused. You're mistaking guilt for love-"
"I'm certain about my feelings this time, Kelly. I love you!"
I gritted my teeth. I heard my neighbors opening their doors and looking at us now. Pierce doesn't want to leave so I have no choice but to drag him inside. my apartment. I locked the door and pushed him to sit on the couch. I searched his pockets, trying to find his phone. screen.
"Put your passcode."
He stared into my eyes like a wounded animal, "It's our wedding anniversary."
My heart skipped a beat. I swallowed hard and immediately looked away. This is ridiculous!
To redeem my crazy self falling into his scheme again, I looked at him blankly and spoke... "Put the passcode in. I forgot it."
"Why?"
"I'm calling Lexi to pick you up," I said coldly.
He snatched my phone and hid it in his pocket again. My forehead creased when he suddenly grabbed my wrist, pulled me down until I dropped on his lap and he claimed my lips in a very legs-wobbling kiss.
Tears rolled my cheeks as he started moving his lips, kissing me hungrily. His kisses were carnal and yet gentle. Hungry and yet soothing. I could feel his desire. I could feel his sadness. He must've missed me so much and I miss him too. But then again, we're over. "Pierce!" I tried pushing him away but he hugged my waist so tight, not wanting to let me go.
He pulled away from the kiss and looked at me while panting. His eyes were full of desire, sadness, longing and...love?
"Be with me again, Kels. I promise I'll make you happy. I'll be a father to your child. I don't care if it's Klay Carver's child. I will be a perfect father to the baby
I pushed him and slapped him so hard. I looked at him with hatred. "You should be a perfect man first before you dream to be a perfect father. You're not even sure of your own feelings. You get easily confused."
He shook his head. His eyes were begging, "How can I convince you that I'm certain with my feelings for you?"
"Let's say you are. How about Lexi?" I asked while balling my fists.
He swallowed hard and pulled himself up. "Kelly, we can just hide our relationship for the meantime. Once the engagement was called off-"
"So, you want me to be your dirty little secret," I said coldly.
"I didn't mean it like that, Kels."
I clenched my jaws. "Then what? You just want another doll to play with whenever you're bored?"
Pain crossed his eyes, "I never look at you that way, Kelly. Why won't you
believe me?"
I laughed sarcastically, "How do you want me to believe a man couldn't man up
with his own words?"
He swallowed hard again, "I-I promise I'll marry you. I'll give you the grandest wedding everyone would envy. I will give you the world. Just be with me again,
T
Kelly. I'm begging you. I love you so much."
"I don't need the world, Pierce! I don't need a grand wedding. I want a man who can proudly stand beside me and is willing to sacrifice everything just to have me. Are you that man?"
He looked down, "I-I couldn't dismiss the engagement too soon. It will affect the company and my father will-"
"Then, there's nothing more to talk about. You should leave, "I cut him off coldly.
"Kelly, I can't lose the company. You put all your efforts in there. It was the fruit.
of our hard work. I can't just give up on the things you treasured so much."
"I don't care about that anymore, Pierce."
His eyes softened and pain crossed his eyes again. "Kelly, please... What must I do to make you love me? Or at least tell me what I must do for you to believe
me?"RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
I gave him a wry smile, "You don't need to do anything. Even if I believe you, there's no way we can start over again. Our relationship was over. We were badly bruised by our mistakes, Pierce. Just leave our past in the past and live without each other."

I saw tears in the corner of his eyes. "I-I don't want to."
I grabbed his hand and lifted it, showing his ring finger. "Our missing wedding rings on your finger are proof that we're over, Pierce. You have already taken it off, you should be focusing on your upcoming wedding rather than wasting your time here with me. Let it go. We're
