Miss Perfect and Her New Boss
Catherine Zoe Aragon was born with a silver spoon. She was one of the princesses of the Aragon Empire, envied by everyone, but unlike what they see in public, no one but the sisters knew the hardships they were put through to maintain their family's reputation. After years of putting up with all the rules and restrictions, she finally had enough. Cath was determined to leave her life behind and start anew, doing the thing that she loves, writing stories and drawing. She cut ties with her family except for her younger sister, leaving all the perks, wealth, and glamour that she was accustomed to all of her life.
Eventually, she became a successful comic book editor, hiding the gravity of her last name. She was living her life the way she wanted to and it was wonderful, except for one thing, her creepy pervert boss. Luckily, he finally got his karma and was let go and that's when she met Mr. Gavin Mitchel, her new boss.
Gavin came from the world that she escaped from a few years ago. He was a man trying to heal his broken heart by putting all of his time and attention to his work after a brutal break-up with his ex-fiance. When, or if they fall in love could they accept each other's pasts and baggage? What would they do with their pasts hunting them? Could their love conquer it all?
Love triangles, family drama, friendship, and office romances... Would they get through it all? Fate might have planned a love story for you, but no one said that it was flowers and rainbows.

Chapter: 138: Bad News; Good NewsSoon the party settled down and a two-tier birthday cake was pushed into the center of the garden. The people in attendance were just my family, friends, and co-workers, so I looked at my husband and he immediately understood what I was thinking. My kids led the crowd in singing Happy Birthday. Both of them were jumping up and down, clapping their tiny hands. I gestured for them to come over as the song came to an end and they joined me in blowing out my candles as everyone cheered. "Let's hear from the birthday girl!" Cam suddenly said, handing me the microphone. Gavin picked up Zia as I held ZG's hand while I addressed the rest of the crowd. "First and foremost, thanks to all of you for spending your time to celebrate my birthday with me. It has been a rough couple of weeks for me and my family, but standing here in front of you makes me realize just how much love we receive from lots of people around us, and for that, I want to show my gratitude to everyone who gave us strengt

Chapter: 137: Pains and GainsThe days in the hospital were still so agonizing. I could still feel the pain in my abdomen, just where the bullet hit me. The doctor told me that I might be experiencing the "phantom effect", you know? The feeling you get when you remove something but it still feels like it's there. They kept reassuring me that everything was fine, but I had my doubts that's why we decided to take a few more tests just to be sure. And just like any other day, Zia and ZG visited me right after school. They would always tell me everything about their day and these past few weeks, their stories have been the highlight of my days inside my dull hospital room. "When are you going home, mommy?" ZG asked as he got ready to go home for the night. "We're still not sure, baby. But I'm fine. The doctors just want to do some more tests to be sure." I answered him, patting his head before giving it a light kiss. "Don't worry, bud. Mommy will be home in no time." Gavin said as he lifted our youngest from t

Chapter: 136: Live AgainHis lips on mine were pure ecstasy. Honestly, I was left hanging and unsatisfied with his kiss earlier but this erases those longing feelings that were lingering in my chest as my doctor was checking on me earlier. His hand made its way to the back of my neck, pulling me closer and deepening the kiss. We were kissing each other as if our lives depended on it, and frankly, I think it does. It felt like an eternity since our lips met, but when we pulled away, out of breath it still didn't feel enough. Our eyes met and a smile was lingering on his lips. "Welcome back, love. I missed you." He whispered to me before planting a kiss on my forehead. "I missed you too, love." I whispered back, returning his smile before he pulled away and sat on the side of my bed. He started fidgeting with his phone which made my eyebrows furrowed. I just woke up from a two-week-long coma, as per what the doctor said to me, and here is my husband sitting beside me but is preoccupied with whatever inter

Chapter: 135: Come Back To Me"Officer, can you watch over my kids for me? I just need to know what's happening to Cathy." I asked Officer Philipps and he nodded. "ZG, Zia, Officer Philipps will stay with you for a while, okay? He we keep you safe. Daddy is just going to see Mommy." I said to them, and they both nodded at me. "Come back soon, Daddy." ZG said and I nodded at him, giving them each a kiss on the forehead before heading out of their hospital room and making my way to the Emergency Room. "I'm looking for Catherine Mitchel, she got shot." I said as calmly as I could to the person at the desk. She nodded and started tapping on her computer. "The patient has been transferred to the operating room." She said and I dashed off before she could finish talking. The lights in the operating room were already on when I got there, so there was only one thing to do, wait. Minutes passed, then hours, and a couple of minutes after the three-hour mark, the doors opened. "How is she?" I immediately asked the

Chapter: 134: In Gavin's EyesI got out of the house, I need fresh air. I had to clear my mind or our conversation would not get anywhere. I was in the middle of the park when I decided to call someone I really trusted. "Good afternoon, sir. Can I speak with Officer Philipps?" I asked the person in the other line. "May I ask who this is?" He asked. "This is Gavin Mitchel." I answered shortly. "Okay, sir. I'll patch you in." He replied and a lively tune started playing before I was greeted by a familiar voice. "It's been a long time. How are you, Gavin?" Asked Officer Philipps through the phone. "Not so good, sir. I need your help." I then gave him a quick rundown of everything that went down. After I finished I heard him sigh. "Why do both of you attract these types of people?" He asked curiously, but even I couldn't give him an answer. "For now, be with Cath. I'll look into it and call you as soon as I get something." "Okay, Officer. Thanks... for everything." "Now, go home. And make sure Cath doesn't d

Chapter: 133: Hard Choices This is probably the longest ten-minute shower I ever had. I'm still waiting for Nathan's instructions and I got into a huge fight with Gavin because of it. “You want me to be okay with him taking my wife in exchange for my kids?” He asked. “No way I’m letting him take any of you.” “Love, we can guarantee that he wouldn’t hurt me but we can’t say that it's the same for our kids. We don’t know what’s going inside his head.” I said, trying to reason with him. “No. No. Sorry, love. That is not an option.” He said walking out of our bedroom. It was a hard decision for me too, but I can't let my kids get hurt. I can't let any of them get hurt because of me again. This time, it's my turn to save them. I got out of the shower and Gavin was still not back in our room. I grabbed my phone and there it was. A message from Nathan. It didn't have any time or date, just the address, making me think that he probably wanted me there as soon as possible. That works for me because I want to see my k

Chapter: 8: Eros"You good?" I asked Psyche as we were cruising along the highway on the way home. I felt her nod, but I also felt her shallow breaths and heard her sniffles in the midst of the silent road that we're taking. And then an idea popped into my head, and so I sped up. "This is not the way to the house. Where are you taking me, Eros?" She asked, confused, and still stifling her sobs."You'll see." I said to her, and she just nodded and lay her head on my back as we rode up the mountainside. "We're here." I said, taking my helmet off, and she immediately went down the bike. "Wow." Her voice was in awe, and I couldn't help but smile a little as she stood there, helmet in hand, facing the side of the mountain that was overlooking the whole city and the beach. "It's beautiful.""Yeah. Beautiful." The words just slipped out of my mouth as I stared at her figure, taking in the view. She turned to look at me with a now-genuine smile plastered across her tear-stained face. "Secret hiding spot?"

Chapter: 7: Eros"Thanks for the ride." She forced a smile on her face as she took off the helmet. "I guess now I know why you like riding this thing so much.""What do you mean?" I asked curiously at her as I put my things away."The way you can swerve through the roads. The air brushing through your skin." She paused for a second and smiled genuinely this time, looking at the helmet she had just taken off. "I don't know, but I felt free. Thanks again." And before I could say another word, she had already placed the helmet on my motorbike and was already walking inside our house. The next few days after that night were strangely unremarkable. Psyche has been quiet lately, clearly, she hasn't been herself. She's always inside her room when she's at home, and she would do anything to just avoid anyone while in school. "Charlotte. Where's Hana? I've been trying to contact her, but she's not answering any of my messages or calls." I heard Sebastian's voice echo through the cafeteria as he stood in fron

Chapter: 6: ErosI noticed her as soon as she stepped into that club. I'm not sure whether to thank or be angry at her best friend for letting her wear that sinful red dress. She has been avoiding me since that night, and honestly, I can't blame her. I don't know exactly what I'm feeling towards her, but one thing is clear: I want her. That night, I almost wanted to unwrap her and mark her right there in the kitchen. And that feeling intensified when I found out that Sebastian was her boyfriend."Earth to Mav.""What?" My focus went back to the idiots in front of me, and all of them have girls wrapped around their bodies, except one, my best friend, Terrence. "You've been out of it since earlier tonight. You, the great Maverick Tanner, have been giving the cold shoulder to all the girls who approached you tonight.""Are we turning a new leaf?""Or maybe you already have eyes on your prey tonight?""Shut up, Rence. I'm just not in the mood tonight.""Ohh. I see." I looked back at him and saw that he

Chapter: 5: PsycheI spent the rest of the week avoiding my housemate. I don't know what these feelings I keep having when he's around, but I know they're dangerous. “You are coming to the party.”“Huh?" I looked up from my lunch and was greeted by Charlotte rolling her eyes at me."What's up with you? You know I let it slide for the past days, but I know you've been distracted. Is everything okay?" Her annoyance changed into worry in the blink of an eye. If I can't be honest with my best friend, then who can I be honest with."Just please promise that this stays between us.""Of course. So what is it?""So, you know I moved out right. My... uhm... neighbor is a guy. And we had a couple of interactions for the past month." I started. I guess I made the right call by not saying that we live under the same roof, 'cause by the look on her face... She's already cooking a story."Is he hot?""Seriously?""It's just a yes or no, Psyche.""Fine, yes. You can describe him as hot. That aside, we barely even tal

Chapter: 4: Psyche“So, you're friends with Charlotte Gray, and dating Sebastian Fabian?"I was leaning on the kitchen counter as I ate my apple, scrolling through social media as Eros walked into the kitchen with his duffle bag still hanging on his shoulder.“Thanks for taking the hint and not saying anything about our set-up.” I said, taking another bite before looking at him. His hair was wet and tousled, perfectly framing his chiseled face, and the feeling from earlier in the parking lot resurfaced again. He dropped his bag on the counter and made his way towards the fridge."I'm guessing both of them don't know where you're staying?" He said. He took out the orange juice and drank straight from the pitcher. "Nope. And I want it to stay that way.""Why?" I was hoping he would just shrug off what happened today, but I was out of luck. "Well, I love Char, but I don't want her to have any ideas, and Sebastian, obviously, he wouldn't agree with me living with a guy.""Then why don't you live with him

Chapter: 3: Psyche “Tanner!” I almost choked on my own saliva as Charlotte yelled in the middle of the cafeteria. And just like that, all eyes gravitated to us. And that was the last thing I wanted. While both Sebastian and Charlotte love the limelight, I was never comfortable with the attention.“Grey? How can I help you?” Of course, he knows her. Why am I even surprised?My eyes met his and a playful smirk appeared on his lips at the sight of me squirming behind my best friend. And I almost forgot that this jerk also loves being the center of attention, especially when it comes to girls. I couldn't stop my eyes from rolling at him and just averted my gaze.“Just one thing.”And silence filled the whole cafeteria as Charlotte’s palm smacked the smile out of Eros’ face. Everyone was staring at them. Students, staff, and even professors stopped everything they were doing and watched like it was a new show on a streaming app. “That’s for my friend. And this one is for all the other girls you have messed
