Those Who Cheated on Fate Kelly's POV "Why did you do that?" I said, trying to hold my temper. My three employees are now around us, waiting for my signal to intervene but I won't drag them in.
"Is this how you treat your customers? Turning your back on them?" "Why? You wanna buy my flowers? Unfortunately, I only sell my flowers to those who genuinely want my products." She gritted her teeth. "Don't act so high and mighty, Kelly. You are still a loser. You're trying so hard to soar high and reach my level but you know that you can never equalin any aspect." I laughed sarcastically as I faced her completely. "I'm not trying to equal your because from the very beginning, I am above you. Proven by how you rushed here accusingof sridiculous bullshits. You're just finding someone to blame, Lexi." "Don't act so innocent, Kelly! I know you are trying to steal my fiance!" "Are you really accusingof that, Lexi? Are you that scared of your own shadow? You think I'll stoop on your level just to get back at you? I'm not childish." "Quit acting so clean, Kelly! Pierce hasn't been coming hand he won't answer my calls. You are hiding my fiance!" I smirked. "Now I get it. Lettell you one thing..." I paused and leaned to whisper... "Karma is a bitch." "You are the bitch here, Kelly!" Itilted my head. "Maybe. Perhaps I'm your Karma?" She lifted her hand and was about to slapwhen I grabbed the flowers she. threw on the floor and pushed the petals in her mouth. I'm not violent, but when I am provoked like this, I won't sit back and cry in the corner. I will fight. for myself and especially for my baby. Lexi screamed and stumbled. She accidentally grabbed the flowers and it fell on her as she fell on the floor.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSomehow, I feel pity while looking at her. She's now crying on the floor while cursing continuously and pushing all the ruined flowers away from her.
For a moment, I saw myself in her. I was too blinded by my love for Pierce tha I forgot myself. I always put his happiness over mine and forgot that I'm also a human being who has dreams and goals in life.
Pierce was good to me. He treatedfair and right but he didn't love me. He gaveeverything. His support. His attention. His effort but he lacked one thing. Love. He didn't lovethe way I love him and now I'm seeing my old self in Lexi.
How did a successful woman end up like this? So crazy over a man that she's losing herself? toxic Too much love. I think that's the problem. The unrequited love that's very, and deadly. No one's to blbut ourselves as we brought ourselves in this situation.
"Pierce didn't contactagain, Lexi," I lied as I looked down at her. "If you want your relationship to work, you should trust him." She shook her head. "Just admit that you're secretly meeting him, Kelly!" Rage was visible in her eyes but I'm too tired of listening to her bullshits.
"Pierce and I were over, Lexi. You know that he chose you over me. There's no way that he'll still seeand there's no fcking way that I'll still meet him. We don't have feelings for each other. Shouldn't you be talking to him about this matter instead of attackinghere? "How can I talk to him when he hasn't been coming home? Huh? How can I talk to him when he doesn't even answer my calls? Don't foolhere, Kelly! I know you still have feelings for my fiance!" I shot an eyebrow up. "Seriously? Why would you bring up my feelings when you're the problem here? Instead of talking to him, you are here, accusing me. You should trust your partner, Lexi. A relationship won't work if you're not trusting each other and all you could do is point a finger and find someone to blame." She was lost for words. She stared at me, anger was still visible in her eyes, but I can see that she somehow calmed down. For a moment, I thought she got my point but she didn't. She angrily pulled herself up and threw a small black notebook on the table in front of me. My forehead creased when I got to see sof the pages in the notebook. M "Now tellthat I don't have the right to accuse you." No! This is not true. Why would he even ask for a divorce if I'm important to him? He realized that he lovesright after I left? That's ridiculous! He must've mistook guilt for love.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI looked at Lexi and shook my head. "I don't care about that, Lexi. If you want to keep him by your side, you should make him fall for you hard. Harder than how he fell for me. I don't want any more connection with you because I'm happy with my life now." Lexi was about to grabwhen security came. She angrily looked atand I stared at her blankly. My mind was bothered by the diary but I'm so done believing his words. Pierce's feelings are so chaotic. I don't wanna believe him anymore.
"Are you okay, ma'am?" I looked at my employees and smiled at them. "Please clean the mess and calculate the damage." "I should follow her for the charges- "No need," I cut one of my employees off.
"Ma'am?" "I'll take care of the damage. Can you just please arrange another bouquet? Our client will pick it up by 6PM. We don't wanna disappoint our client, right? I'll just rest for a bit in my office." "Yes, ma'am. I'll bring you snacks in a minute." I smiled and nodded, "Thanks." + 1

I picked an apartment as my rental home. My unit was on the second floor and I slowed down as soon as I reached my apartment. Sitting on my doorstep with messy hair, messy polo, and a bottle of liquor in his hands, was Pierce, looking so miserable and lonely. My heart started beating like crazy as soon as he lifted his face and our eyes met. His confession in his diary visited my mind again and it madestill. I couldn't move in front of him.
He was sitting on the floor while looking up atand I was frozen on my place, looking down at him.
X To my shock, tears rolled down his cheeks as he kneeled and held my hands. Kelly, please cback to me..."
