“You were my best friend before we got married. You are one of the few people I treasure…Kelly…I-I think it’s time for us to divorce.”<br /> “P-Pierce…” I felt my heart clench.<br /> He smiled. “I know you don’t have feelings for me either. You just married me because of my grandparents. You just did this because you love them. Now it’s time for our real happiness, Kelly.”<br /> I shook my head, “W-What are you talking about, Pierce?”<br /> “Lexi is back, Kelly. My first love is back.”<br /> ————————<br /> Kelly&#039;s POV<br /> Was it a blessing to marry your best friend?<br /> I was not very sure what Pierce thought but marrying him was a dream come true for me. And now what was more exciting, we were going to welcome our first child.<br /> I closed my eyes recalling the first day we met. His bright smile in the sunlight was so dazzling, he was a Prince. Long before we became best friends, I fell in love with him at first sight. But it was only an unrequited love, I knew it well.<br /> I slid down the car window to get some fresh air but accidentally caught a glimpse of our old high school. That bitter feeling filled my chest once again. Pierce is my first love but I&#039;m not his.<br /> In high school, I was only a boring nerd in other&#039;s eyes while Pierce Anderson was the shining Quarterback. Everyone was surprised that we could be friends. Though enmity rose, I enjoyed being around him. I slowly realized that I didn&#039;t want just to be his friend.<br /> However, right when I was about to confess my feelings to him, another girl came into his life.<br /> I shook my head trying to get rid of those sad old memories. I gripped the cold wedding ring on my finger, telling myself the past was past. Pierce said they were over and I was his wife now. I was his wife who was carrying his baby now.<br /> I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes and opened the door to our house. My heart calmed down as I breathed in the scent of home. Our home. It wasn&#039;t as luxurious as his family&#039;s villa but cozy. Pierce and I decorated it together with our own hands. We enjoyed it. Yes, I must have been overthinking. That woman had been out of our lives for a long time and my marriage with Pierce was as beautiful as a fairy tale for the past three years.<br /> I glanced at the clock on the wall. At this point, Pierce should have gotten off the plane. He was over a month of traveling for the sake of our family’s business. Pierce was the President of ADE, the leading fashion magazine company all over Asia, and I was actually the Vice President of the company. We were not only life partners but also good partners at work.<br /> I really missed him. I dialed his number immediately. I really wanted to hear his voice now, to know when he would arrive home. I would prepare a good meal for him and he would prize me with a sweet peck. And then we might have passionate intercourse like what he gave me the night before his business trip. Oops, I almost forgot I was pregnant now. I needed to tell him this first and then we could do something else instead.<br /> I was happily envisioning our lovely reunion and my heart dropped when a woman&#039;s voice came over the line.<br /> [Hello?]<br /> I snapped the phone as just one word came out. My phone fell to the floor and my body started shaking uncontrollably. NO! It couldn&#039;t be her! It couldn&#039;t be Lexi! She was already out of our life! I must have misheard.<br /> I rushed to the fridge in an attempt to calm myself with the aid of some drinks. But the moment I touched the drinks bottle, I was reminded of the doctor&#039;s words and my baby. I needed to be cautious for my baby&#039;s sake. I turned to get a box of milk and walked toward the sofa.<br /> I didn&#039;t know what made me recognize that as Lexi&#039;s voice at that moment. I meant Lexi and I were never close. Lexi Gilbert was a typical blonde beauty that men would go crazy for. She was the popular cheerleader in high school while Pierce was the star quarterback. Better match than he and a nerd like me, right? It wasn&#039;t surprising that he had fallen for her.<br /> My pride couldn&#039;t stand watching the man I loved go crazy for another woman. So I had once tried to stay away from them silently but Pierce refused to quit from my life. Every time I drowned myself in a sea of books and studies to forget them, Pierce would appear at my doorway asking me out. I couldn&#039;t say no to his charming smile; I couldn&#039;t say no when he claimed it was his duty as my best friend to take me to enjoy the real world.<br /> To not ruin our friendship, I could only hide my broken heart, silently playing the role of his best friend by his side and watching his happy face for another girl. I finally got up the courage to study abroad as I learned that Pierce was planning to propose to Lexi. However, I never expected Grams would call to beg me back.<br /> I returned in a hurry only to see a lifeless Pierce. His heart was harmed badly, by Lexi. My beloved sunshine boy was nowhere to be seen, and my heart was bleeding. I started to hate Lexi from that moment. I gave up my cherished man to her, and how dared she harm him so badly! That witch!<br /> Pierce didn&#039;t tell anyone what happened except he was over with Lexi. Grams arranged our marriage. I didn&#039;t understand why he agreed until the day I heard him say that marrying anyone but Lexi would be the same for him.<br /> It was so hurt but I still walked into this marriage without a second thought. My cherished boy was broken and I wanted to fix him, not caring if I would ruin myself in the process.<br /> I fell asleep at home feeling so insecure and worried.It was already morning when I opened my eyes again and Pierce was beside me, putting a tray of food on the bedside table.<br /> “Hey!” I greeted and smiled when I realized what he’d done. He prepared breakfast for me. In bed. The sweetest.<br /> He smiled and sat on the bed. “Good morning. I have something to tell you.”<br /> I felt my heart race. I thought about our baby in my womb. He’s got something to tell. I have something to tell him too.<br /> “W-What is it?” I asked as I felt my voice tremble.<br /> He took a deep sigh. “You know you’re important to me, right?”<br /> I slowly nodded with parted lips. I couldn’t answer. I’m scared of what he’s about to say. I have a bad feeling about this.<br /> “You were my best friend before we got married. You are one of the few people I treasure…”<br /> I hid my balled fists under the sheet. I don’t know why he’s telling me all this but I felt tears pooling in the corner of my eyes already.<br /> “Kelly…” he paused and squeezed his eyes closed before he looked at me again in the eyes. “I-I think it’s time for us to divorce.”<br /> “P-Pierce…” I felt my heart clench.<br /> He smiled. “I know you don’t have feelings for me either. You just married me because of my grandparents. You just did this because you love them. Now it’s time for our real happiness, Kelly.”<br /> I shook my head, “W-What are you talking about, Pierce?”<br /> “Lexi is back, Kelly. My first love is back.”<br /> Kelly’s POV<br /> I got off the bed and tried to leave but Pierce grabbed my hand. I immediately wiped the tears that rolled down my cheeks before he could see them. He stood in front of me and looked at my face as I tried so hard to look down and avoid his eyes.<br /> I felt my heart breaking into pieces. I thought… I thought I could make him fall in love with me within those three years together. I thought his feelings would level up and would see me as a woman rather than just a best friend. I was stupid for hoping and dreaming so high.<br /> I failed. No matter how hard I tried, his heart belonged only to his first love Lexi.<br /> He looked at me worriedly. “You are my best friend. I don’t wanna lose you, Kels. You’re one of my few people…”<br /> “I know,” I said out of frustration. He looked shocked, so I calmed myself down. “I-I know. You don’t have to worry. I’m just stressed about work. It’s not about our divorce.”<br /> His lips parted and he slowly nodded as if he was able to breathe properly. He walked towards me and I froze when he gently pecked my forehead…<br /> “Thank you, Kelly,&quot; he whispered. My heart clenched. It had been three years but I was still such a coward. Why couldn&#039;t you just tell him that you love him, Kelly? He&#039;s your husband and you&#039;re carrying his baby! Tell him and he might change his mind!<br /> I swallowed hard and was about to tell him but his phone rang. I didn&#039;t miss the caller ID. Again, it was Lexi.<br /> &quot; I gotta go.&quot; He scratched his head in apology and I didn&#039;t miss the upturned corners of his mouth. &quot;I called Luke and he’s waiting outside. Eat before you go, okay?”<br /> With that, he left our room. The tears I had managed to suppress burst out again. Why would I think I could have a chance? He made his choice already the moment he asked for the divorce, didn&#039;t he?<br /> Whenever it came to Lexi, I was always the one he would abandon.<br /> --<br /> I looked outside the window. I sucked my breath and shook my head, “Nothing.”<br /> When I got home, I immediately cleaned myself up. I took a shower and started cooking dinner for myself. I bet Pierce is already eating with his b*tch of a mistress. It’s making me bitter.<br /> “KELLY!”<br /> I was just about to start eating when I heard Pierce’s angry voice. I lifted my face and looked at him. He rushed to me with an angry face and reddened neck.<br /> “What did you do?”<br /> My forehead creased. “I cooked.”<br /> He pulled his hair and grabbed my shoulders. “You told my father about Lexi! Why did you do that?”<br /> “You recklessly go out with your mistress. Now you’re putting the blame on me? News indeed has wings. Fascinating isn’t it?”<br /> “Don’t go sarcastic on me, Kelly! You know what I truly feel about her. Why are you doing this to me? All I ask is your understanding, Kels! You don’t have to do this!”<br /> I pushed him away angrily. “Why are you taking it out on me? Are you sure that it was me?”<br /> “No one will do this except for you, Kelly! Now I know why something was off. You’re angry with me and now you’re dragging our family into this!”<br /> I laughed sarcastically and pushed the chair away. It fell on the tiled floor, creating a loud thud but I don’t care. I looked him in the eye as I fought the rage in it. He’s acting like this because of his mistress. He’s unbelievable.<br /> “If dumb people could swim, you would be a fish.”<br /> “Don’t turn your back on me—”<br /> “Oh, I will!” I growled angrily as I glared at him. “I would turn my back on you whenever I want, Pierce but you know what? I can’t. I want to but I can’t! Do you understand that? I badly want to leave you now because you’re treating me like trash. You said I’m important to you. You said I’m one of the people you treasure, but this? Is this how you treat your treasure?”<br /> His lips parted as he stared into my eyes. I shook my head with trembling lips.<br /> “You know what? If I were to get rid of her, I would go straight to her and smash her face with a freaking silver baseball bat than play like a stupid housewife. You’re barking at the wrong tree, Pierce.”<br /> I looked at him sharply. “Why do you care?”<br /> “I care because you’re my wife, Kelly!”<br /> A sarcastic laugh came out of my mouth because of what he said. I looked at him with rage. “We’re divorcing anyway.”<br /> “Kelly, you can’t just run away like this. We have to talk about the problem.”<br /> “I don’t have a problem, Pierce. It was you who had a problem and you created it, just to remind you.”<br /> He grabbed my wrists and kept me in place when I tried to leave. His jaws were clenching as his eyes bore at me angrily. “My father is angry, Kelly. He’s accusing me of cheating on you.”<br /> I tilted my head, “Are you not?”<br /> His forehead creased. “I am not an beast, Kelly. Did you see me pecking her or drilling her? I still have my sanity with me. I won’t go intimate with her as long as you’re carrying my name—”<br /> “Frankly speaking, I’m not carrying your name, Pierce,” I cut him off. He was taken aback because of what I said. “No one even knows that we’re married.”<br /> “Kelly!”<br /> “Don’t worry. I’ll talk to your family about this. I will tell them that I’m no longer happy with you and I want a divorce.”<br /> He swallowed hard and stared into my eyes. “Y-You’ll do that for me?”<br /> I laughed without humor. “I’ll do that for myself.”<br /> --<br /> He sighed and put the tray on the bedside table before he looked at me again. “Mom sent me a message. She’s inviting us to dinner tomorrow night. I hope you can come with me.”<br /> “Obviously, it’s about us. They would be suspicious if I didn’t come. It’s also time I should tell them about our divorce.”<br /> He sat on the bed and looked at my face. He did everything so he could catch my eyes. He even used his fingers to lift my chin so our eyes would meet. Even when he’s hurting me, a simple touch, a simple care, a simple stare from him makes me tremble and weak. One soothing word from him and my wound is healing.<br /> “I’m sorry, Kels… Please forgive me. I shouldn’t have agreed to marry you in the first place. I know I’ll just hurt you. I’m sorry…”<br /> I hid my balled fists behind me. “You regret marrying me?”<br /> He shook his head, “I don’t regret marrying you. I’ve been very happy during those three years, Kels. What I regret is I put you in a situation where you’d be the one who’ll get hurt. You are my best friend, I swore to protect you but I was actually the one hurting you.”<br /> I looked away. Good to know that he knows his responsibility. What’s shameful is he doesn’t know what he did to me. He didn’t even realize I had feelings for him. He thought I just saw him as my best friend.<br /> ***<br /> Everyone at the long dining table is silent. I’m sitting beside Pierce. At the center of the dining table was Pierce’s father. In front of Pierce was his mother and Phoebe, Pierce’s younger sister, was absent from the family dinner today for her school training.<br /> “We should eat first,” Mrs. Anderson cleared her throat and smiled at me.<br /> I gave her the sweetest of my smile. She’s been the perfect mother-in-law. I respect her and will always respect her even after all of these. She’s my dad’s best friend, actually.<br /> We started eating in silence. I looked at Pierce when he started putting food on my plate. If I don’t know him, I would think he’s acting but I know him well. He’s naturally caring. He’s naturally sweet.<br /> I feel like salivating when I see the food I used to hate before. I badly wanted to eat it but I knew Pierce’s parents would notice it and would think it was strange, so I restrained myself.<br /> “I didn’t know you’re a dirty dog, Pierce.” We were in the middle of dinner when Mr. Anderson spoke with a hint of disgust and anger. He lifted his face and glared at Pierce. “Do you want your grandmother to die early? If she heard about your stupidity, she might die.”<br /> “Honey…” Mrs. Anderson caressed her husband’s arm.<br /> I swallowed hard as I saw Pierce’s balled fists under the table. I know he&#039;s been afraid of his father ever since he was a kid. Mr. Anderson is a perfectionist. He’s very strict and he dislikes mess.<br /> “Where did your balls go, Pierce? You’re already married and yet you’re seen somewhere with a sl*t?”<br /> Pierce was about to say something out of anger when I lifted my arm, stopping them. He’s hurting me but I can’t bear to see him hurting. This is stupidity, but I know my heart will always do everything to protect him, not just because he’s my husband but because we’re best friends before he married me.<br /> “He’s not cheating, dad.”<br /> “Don’t defend him, Kelly!” Mr. Anderson strictly warned me but I shook my head.<br /> “I want a divorce, dad.”<br /> “Oh my God!” Mrs. Anderson gasped and sobbed.<br /> “LOOK WHAT YOU’VE DONE, PIERCE!” Mr. Anderson shouted and punched Pierce&#039;s face.<br /> “NO!” I shouted and blocked Mr. Anderson when he attempted to attack Pierce again.<br /> “Get out of my way, Kelly. I will teach that punk a lesson.”<br /> “I asked for a divorce even before he was seen with Lexi. And Lexi is the company’s new model. They were working when they got spotted together.”<br /> Mr. Anderson looked at me with a creased forehead. “What did you say?”<br /> “Kelly…” Mrs. Anderson sobbed.<br /> I looked at her and smiled. “I love your son, Mom, but not the way you want me to be. He’s my best friend and I’m sorry that I just agreed to marry him for the sake of grandma. I want to correct my mistakes. I was the one who wanted a divorce so don’t blame it on him.”<br /> Everyone went silent after what I said. I was looking at everyone with courage but it slowly faded when I heard someone behind me speak.<br /> &quot;Did you…mean what you said?&quot; His voice sounds tired and lifeless.<br /> I pressed my lips together and tightened my grip on my pouch.<br /> Heaving a sigh, I slowly turned to face him. He was looking straight into my eyes as if he was actually waiting for me to look at him.<br /> &quot;I mean everything I said, Pierce.&quot;<br /> He swallowed hard. There was something in his eyes. Confusion, pain, and thankfulness. I don&#039;t know why he&#039;s being like this but I&#039;m not doing this just for him. I&#039;m doing this for me too. I want a complete family for my baby, but I&#039;m not gonna settle for the small things he can offer. I love him, but I will love my baby more.<br /> &quot;Kels, you&#039;re not drifting apart because of this, right?&quot;<br /> My forehead creased. He expects me to stick to him even after all of these? He&#039;s selfish.<br /> &quot;Kels…&quot;<br /> &quot;Pierce, I&#039;m tired. Let&#039;s talk tomorrow.&quot;<br /> --<br /> My phone rang as soon as I stepped out of the bathroom. The family lawyer of the Anderson family is the one calling. I immediately answered the call… &quot;Hello, attorney.&quot;<br /> [Mrs. Anderson, I&#039;m on my way to your house now. I have the document with me.]<br /> I nodded as I stared at my own reflection in the mirror. &quot;Thank you, attorney. We&#039;ll be waiting.&quot;<br /> When I went downstairs, Pierce was already preparing the table for our breakfast. I suddenly felt starving as soon as my eyes landed on the pasta. However, someone rang the bell. I went straight to the door and was welcomed by Attorney Wade Morgan.<br /> “Good morning, Mrs. Anderson.”<br /> I smiled at him. “Good morning, Attorney. Come in.”<br /> “Who’s there, Kelly?”<br /> Pierce appeared behind me even before Attorney Morgan stepped his foot inside the house. Pierce’s lips parted after he saw the person standing in front of us.<br /> “Good morning, Mr. Anderson.”<br /> Pierce looked at me so I gave him a smile. “He’s here to deliver and process our divorce papers.”<br /> Pierce didn’t answer. We ate our breakfast and only me and Attorney Morgan were talking. Pierce is strangely silent but I feel like it’s because he’s worried about his grandmother. Our breakfast ended in a deafening silence and when it was time to sign the divorce papers, I felt suffocated.<br /> Now, it&#039;s time to end this false happiness.<br /> Taking a deep breath, I signed my name on the divorce paper.<br /> Pierce’s POV<br /> She signed the divorce papers. She signed it without thinking twice. In front of me.<br /> A bitter smile spilled as I downed another glass of spirit.<br /> I should be happy about that when I was the one who asked for the divorce. But…but my heart felt so heavy ever since Kelly signed the papers.<br /> Kelly and I had been friends for over 10 years. The day she transferred to my high school, I accidentally bumped into her by the lake. She looked like a frightened kitten, carefully hiding her true self behind that thick antique eyeglasses. That was interesting.<br /> I didn&#039;t realize that nerdy transfer girl in everyone&#039;s eyes would be the daughter of my mother&#039;s best friend. With that, we grew to be friends. Best friends.<br /> Kelly changed a lot after graduation. When I came back from the first vacation alone with Lexi, I was surprised to find that my best friend was far different. Taking off her heavy glasses and changing out of her baggy hoodies, she learned how to dress up. She was always a fast learner and in an instant, Kelly became a total campus goddess, with her brain and beauty.<br /> More and more suitors gathered around her. I could see how much she was troubled, so as her best friend, I naturally became that escort. Although it caused some rumors, I knew we were only best friends. I already had Lexi.<br /> No one knew why Kelly never had a boyfriend. I once wanted to ask about it but gave up, as I had a feeling that she would leave me once I learned the answer. I never wanted to lose her. She was my best friend.<br /> Everything went well but after the countless argument with Lexi about our future life, we fell into a long cold war. And when I was ready to surrender, Lexi suddenly went to another city after sending me a breakup text. I flew all night to chase her, only to find her sleeping with another man. My heart was broken.<br /> I fell into darkness and spirit became my best partner. Just when I thought I was about to rot in my darkened room, a figure appeared in the doorway, bringing me the only light. It was Kelly.<br /> I broke down with tears in the arms of my best friend. And Kelly suspended her studies abroad to be by my side. Without her, I could never overcome that hardest time. I&#039;d been always grateful for that. I swore to cherish her for my whole life.<br /> But I never expected that Grams would wish us to get married. I agreed to give it a shot. It’s better to marry her than marrying another woman my family chose for me. My family was a fan of arranged marriage. And since they also treated Kelly as family, I felt like if I refused to marry her, my family would set her up with someone. It’s better to be me than anyone else, right? I just want to protect her...<br /> After three years of happy peaceful marriage, I started to consider having a child with Kelly. She always loved kids, I knew. However, it was at that time, that I met Lexi again on my business trip.<br /> My heart was in turmoil when the woman I once loved so deeply cried in my arms. Lexi told me everything that happened to her. Her fate wasn’t good to her and she wants me back. I thought my feelings for her disappeared, but as soon as she came back, everything came back to me too. Our memories and even my feelings for her.<br /> It’s Kelly, my best friend over Lexi, my first love. I don’t know what to do. God knows how much I dreamed of having Lexi because she’s my first love but…losing Kelly should not be a trade to get my first love.<br /> I feel like I’m losing Kelly now just because of that divorce paper.<br /> Can it all start over?
