Chapter 28 Ain’t Working For Me

Kelly’s POV

‘My future husband is your best friend so we’re expecting you at our engagement party. Don’t disappoint us, Kelly.’

I balled my fists and threw the invitation on the floor. I sat on the bed and cupped my head as I tried to calm myself down. I can’t break down again. I might put my baby’s life at risk and that’s the very last thing I’d want to happen. My baby before anything else.

I caressed my belly that’s almost four months old. The baby bump is starting to show. I swallowed hard and squeezed my eyes as I reminisced about the old days. Lexi has always been Pierce’s great love. He was in love with her ever since. How can I replace the woman who never left his heart in the first place? Lexi was right. I was just a substitute. Pierce would never look at me the way I wanted him to look at me. He would never love me the way I loved him.
