My Best Friend Left Me After 32
He Can Be Worse
He Can Be Worse Kelly's POV
Klay was silent the whole time we're in the car. He was just sitting beside he with a straight face and I'm thankful that he didn't ask anything. However, I'm worried about what's going on in his mind.
I bit my bottom lip as I remembered what happened between me and Pierce.
He kissed me and my heart instantly beat for him again. This is insanely absurd but I know I couldn't lie to myself anymore. I'm still in love with him. Even after everything that he's done and he didn't do. "What do you want for dinner?" Klay asked as soon as we entered the huge. family house.
Right! I haven't eaten anything. Aside from the fact that Lexi ruined my mood, I don't wanna eat the food in their 'grand' engagement party.
"Just pasta," I answered without looking at him. I'm still pissed about what he did. He just claimed my baby as his own and he decided on it without consulting me.
I went upstairs leaving him coldly. When I entered my room, I suddenly felt exhausted. I swallowed hard and remembered the heat between me and Pierce again. He just brought my feelings and desire back to life and it's never good.
I took a cold shower to calm myself down. It was my last resort to ease the heat. Thereafter, I went downstairs wearing silk pajamas. Klay was already at the dining table, waiting for me. He's wearing a black shirt and cargo shorts. His eyes were fixated on the screen of his laptop and he had coffee beside it.
"Don't just stand there, Kelly. Come here and eat," he said without lifting his eyes to look at me.
I'm pissed with him but he really cares and I'm hungry.
I walked towards the dining table silently and sat in front of him. The chef served the food and my stomach grumbled as soon as the aroma of the delicious pasta reached my nose. "What happened at the party?"
I froze because of his curiosity. I slowly lifted my face to look at him and he's impatiently waiting for my answer.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
My lips parted. I thought he wouldn't ask about that. Damn it!
I averted my gaze from him and looked at my pasta. "Nothing."
I started eating silence while I could still feel his intense eyes on me.
"You don't dare lie to me, Kelly. I know when you're upset, when you're happy, when you're sad and definitely when you're lying."
His manipulative voice made me irritated again. I looked at him but my courage swiftly melted when our gazes met.
My heart raced when he slowly leaned on the table and his thumb reached the side of my lips.
"W-What are you doing?" I panicked when he slowly brushed his thumb against. my lip. After that, he dragged his thumb in his mouth and licked the sauce from
1. it.
"You know why I was called the devil in a suit, right? I will ruin every single person who tries to harm you, Kelly and Pierce Anderson will never be an exception. I'm already the worst as I am. I can be worse if he harms you." There was something in his eyes and I didn't even want to think about it. His confession to me was still crystal clear in my head. The memory of that day has been curved in my head and I couldn't get rid of it. He has feelings for me and it bothers me so much.
"Why do you have to know every single detail of what's happening with my life, Klay?"
He stared into my eyes intensely. "You know exactly the reason."
I gritted my teeth in annoyance. His feelings were not enough reason for him to manipulate me like this. I know he just wants to protect me but he's overreacting. He's getting obsessed with protecting me to the point that he's controlling my life. "You can't manipulate me like this, Klay! You are just my step brother-"
"I won't meddle with your life if you can rule it properly, Kelly. Obviously you're a slave to your emotions. I can't let you live your life like that."
"How dare you!" I growled at him.
"Your lips may lie, but your eyes can't. You can't deny that, Kelly."
I balled my fists and pulled myself up in so much anger. Whether it's pride or what, I don't care anymore. My concern here is using my feelings to control me
and I hate it.
"You are underestimating me, Klay. I am not stupid to make the same mistake twice. I may have feelings for him, but I won't let these feelings get the best of me. My only concern and priority now is myself and the future of my baby. If you can't understand that, then we don His eyes were cold and blank as he looked up at me, listening to my angry
going on in his mind but I don't care anymore.

I rolled my eyes and marched out of the dining hall angrily. I went straight to my bedroom and locked the door. Asshole!
*** Klay's POV
I clenched my jaws and stared at the screen of my laptop after she marched out of the dining hall in anger.
I stared at my own reflection on the screen of my laptop as I thought of what really happened at the party. She won't tell me anything and even if I forced her. to, she won't give me answers.
"Am I doing the right thing?" I murmured to myself before I shook my head and gritted my teeth.
"I'm just protecting you. Welcome to my private hell, angel. Don't worry, I will
give your wings back. You just have to let me in your life...on't worry, I will
