Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 127: In His Arms Again
I felt nervousness creep up in my chest as I held the envelope in my hand. It looks familiar to me, I just don’t know where I saw it before. I opened it but got more confused. Inside were crumpled and ripped-up papers. They weren’t shredded, they look like they were ripped by hand angrily. I took out all of the papers and placed them on the floor. Everything got me so intrigued that I started putting the pieces together. Why would he even keep these papers if he already ripped them apart? I was seriously having fun putting the pieces back together like a puzzle when I finally noticed something off. I found familiar writing in one of the pieces. I looked at it closely and noticed that the writing looks like my own handwriting. I rummaged through all the pieces and I finally found a piece that fits the last one. It wasn't just my handwriting, it was my signature. I started putting the papers together faster than before, and somehow it started to make sense. It was some sort of contr
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 128: Dinner Disaster
I suddenly felt a pang of nervousness as we got nearer and nearer to my parent’s house. This is the first time that Gavin and Nathan would see each other and I honestly don’t know how this would play out. “Everything’s gonna be fine, love. Don’t worry, I’ll try to keep my cool.” He said to me holding my hand as we took a turn on the street going to my parent’s house. “As long as he doesn’t get on my last nerve.” I heard him whisper under his breath. “Gav!” I exclaimed as I saw him smirk while still focused on the road. He let out a slight chuckle as he continued driving. “What? I’m just saying. I’ll behave if he behaves.” He replied to me and finally the gates of our mansion were insight. My heart started beating out of my chest as I got out of the car and walked towards the house. Gavin followed behind me and we were immediately greeted by Zab and Cam as the front door opened. “Thank god you’re here. Nath…” Zab said but she immediately paused, her eyes focusing on the person behi

“Can I ask a question?” My voice almost cracked as I forced those words out of me. Gavin faintly smiled and sat down on my bed, nodding before looking me straight in the eyes, waiting for what I wanted to know. I took a deep breath and swallowed the saliva that was building in my mouth because of my nerves. I'm still not convinced if I should ask this but, it's now or never. “What happened with Kacey?” I finally managed to ask but I refused to look at him straight in the eyes. I honestly didn’t know how he would react and I don’t even know what I wanted to hear from him. I looked down at my fidgeting hands as I braced myself for his answer. I then felt his finger under my chin, tilting my head up to look at him. He had an amused smile on his face, making me confused and then angry. “What’s so funny?” I asked angrily as I slapped his hand away from my face but he just responded with a chuckle making me angrier. I was about to jump out of bed and walk out on him but before I could mo
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 130: Family Time
The weeks went by in such a bliss and now, we’re moving back in with their dad in our old apartment. It took a lot of convincing on my side but eventually, Gavin was able to make me agree with him. “Are we there yet?” Zia asked for the nth time as we were driving to the apartment. She has been very excited since we told them about the move, and couldn’t wait to see the room her big brother was talking about. “No yet baby. We’ll have to stop to get some groceries, remember?” Gavin answered her sweetly. “Aww. Are we going to stay there long?” She asked again with a pout on her face. “Come on, Zia. It’s going to be fun. And you can pick out some decorations for our room.” ZG said, calming her sister in the back seat. “Yey!” Zia screamed as she started humming the theme song of her favorite show. Thank goodness, ZG knows precisely what to say to his sister in every situation. When we got to the groceries, the two of them walked in front of me and Gavin and started getting things that

Being with Gavin again made me realize that I have never stopped loving him. No matter how much I wanted to forget about him, my heart remained with him throughout the years. I guess it is true, that no matter how far you walk away from each other, people who are meant to be together will always gravitate back to each other. "Mommy?" I heard Zia's voice as she was tugging on my dress. "Are you okay?" She asked me. "Why? What happened?" Gavin suddenly asked as he and ZG walked towards us. "Mommy was staring at you with a silly smile." Zia said that made my eyes bulge out of their sockets. "No, I wasn't." I said to her, looking right at her. Asking her to shut up with my eyes but it looks like I need to work on my silent communication with my daughter. "Yes. You were." She said before hopping away from us. "Just hold it in, love. Our kids are still awake." Gavin whispered to me, taking the picnic basket from my hand before following our daughter, leaving me dumbfounded. "I wasn't

"Where are my kids, Nathan?" I began, trying my best to remain calm in the situation. Gavin tried to snatch my phone from me but I avoided it. I don't think it's a good idea to let the two of them talk. they both might explode. "They're safe. I have them with me. We had a little bonding session today. I was hoping you could join us?" He asked trying to sound sweet, but I couldn't help but feel a shiver down my spine as listened to him talk. "I'm still at work, Nate. Maybe another day? Do you mind dropping them off at the office?" I asked, acting oblivious to his motives. "Oh come on Cath. It's already seven in the evening, you should be home by now, right? Both you and your husband?" He asked and Gavin quickly took the phone from me. "Where are our kids, Nathan? I'm not playing with you!" Gavin angrily said through the phone. "You are going to talk to me! Just what do you want from us!" Then Gavin went silent. He looked at me, his eyes trembling. I could see fear in them. "Fine!
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 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
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 134: In Gavin's Eyes
I 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
