Brown Eyes Kelle'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 bringto his house but I insisted on going hto 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 atworriedly. "Did you understand what's going on, Kelly? You were stalked and Luke said the person following you was wearing a mask and hoodie. That means he's not a good person and he meant harm." I palmed my face and took a deep breath. "You didn't think I'm not scared, right?" He sighed and grabbed my arm. He madesit on the couch and held my hands. He stared into my eyes worriedly. "I will do everything I can do to catch him, Kelly. He can never harm you. I promise you that." I nodded and gave him a faint smile. He pulledcloser and wrapped his arms around me, givinga warm embrace.
When Pierce left, I couldn't sleep. I feel like someone's still watchingevent when Luke is in the next room. I'm just thankful I chose a two bedroom unit. I won't be living here alone and that somehow calmsdown.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI kept on rolling on the bed as I couldn't sleep. My lights are on but I still feel scared. I squeezed my eyes closed and I gasped when I saw the cleaner's face in my head. Was it him? I should keep my eyes on him. It's hard forto open my eyes the next morning because I slept too late last night. I rubbed my eyes as I slowly sat on the bed. I can hear two familiar voices talking outside and I could tell it's Luke and Pierce.
Brown Eyes After bathing, I readied myself for work and went out of the bedroom. I saw Luke and Pierce in the kitchen, talking.
"You keep your eyes on her all the time, Luke. I have a huge hunch that that person has access to the company," Pierce said with a very serious face.
"I will do my job, Mr. Anderson." "We need to keep her safe, Luke. I won't allow anyone to hurt her. Damn! I won't even allow anyone to touch her hair." At first, I ignored what Pierce was doing. He keeps on checking onin the company. He kept on sendingmessages and asking my whereabouts whenever I had business outside the company. He keeps on visitingin my condo, And mind you, he does that every single day for a straight week. He never missed a day. There was never a day I didn't see his face and now, he pickedup so we can go together to the anniversary party. "Pierce..." I called as I took a deep sigh.
He looked atand pulled himself up. He walked towardsand held my arm. "Are you okay? What's wrong?" He's 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 chere whenever you want, Pierce. We're divorced." His forehead immediately creased. "Does that take away my right to worry about you?" I 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 keepsafe but he can't do this. I'm Brower 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 atfor God knows how long with pain and confusion in his eyes. After a few sends, he looked away and took a step back. He shook his head and palmed His face as if the truth hurts him. He sucked his breath and looked atagain. "Are you...kickingout of your life?" "I couldn't get on with my life because you keep on makingwant to depend on you. We can't do this forever. Pierce. We have to draw our limitations. What would Lexi feel if she learn 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 cback 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 w I guess this would be the last request I would grant. Luke cto pickup and when we reached the venue, my eyes

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmshocked when he found me. Our eyes locked and even when he's talking to someone else, he do I looked away. What is Pierce doing? Didn't he say he's not dating Lexi? Why are they talking intimately and why is he staring at me? I spotted Pierce's parents and Mr. Anderson doesn't look happy. His face was Browartyes dark as his wife kept on caressing his arm as if trying to calm him down.
"Kelly!" A bubbly voice behindcalled.
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's looking but everyone around us is 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. X
