Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect? Chapter 110. Take A Hike
Veronica POVI watched my friend meet our boss on her bridal walk at that spectacular spread by the beach. The white decorations embellished generously with varied shades of lavender were most appealing to the eyes.With the backdrop of seawater, the color seemed to translate into tranquility - a soothing balm for my soul.“You look maudlin. Aren’t you happy for your friend? Or maybe you are expecting her to suffer until now.” A man asked from the side.The accusation stung.The mocking tone in his voice left a bad taste in my mouth.Why was it

Oliver POVI followed Veronica toward the makeshift altar. We did not talk, and it worked just fine for me. Pachelbel’s Canon in D wafted in the air, and the processional began. After Lucas walked the beige-colored carpet, the coordinator nodded in my direction to indicate my turn. I squared my shoulders and began walking until I reached Lucas, and I stood beside him. We both face the end of the aisle to watch the rest of the entourage walk toward their seats. Then, it was Erin’s turn. Lucas smiled, watching Erin walk the aisle holding a cute flower basket made from dried rattan. From time to time, she stops to toss flower petals in the air before resuming her walk. When she reached Lucas, she smiled and made an okay sign. Lucas responded by giving her two thumbs up. Then, she lifted her arms to Lucas, wanting to be carried. Lucas indulged her. He grunted when he bent to pick her up, amusing the guests. Erin's arms surrounded Lucas's neck. Now, it was Veronica’s turn.

Katherine POVI arrived outside of my husband’s office apprehensively. Greg Combs, my husband of five years, had been avoiding my calls since last week. “Katherine, what are you doing here?” My husband’s secretary asked strangely. Her gaze shifted to Greg's closed door. “Is Greg around? Can I see him?” I asked tiredly.“He’s in a meeting. I don’t think he can see you right now.” Her tone sounded weird.I looked around us. Everyone’s busy but I knew that they were listening. It was common knowledge that my husband Greg forbids me from coming to the office especially since they were busy with the ongoing merger with SF conglomerate, a business giant in robotics owned by self-made billionaire Lucas Sanders. On ordinary days, I wouldn’t defy Greg’s orders, but not today. The hospital informed me that Greg failed to pay for our daughter’s operation which was due today.I tried appealing to Lorrie, his secretary.“I need to talk to him. He was not answering my call.” I said, feeling desp

Katherine POV“Please, Greg. Don’t do this. Erin needs you.” I begged, but it seemed to have fallen on deaf ears. Greg brushed past me to pick their scattered clothes on the floor. He gently pushed Noreen toward his private room before following her, shutting it firmly and leaving me outside feeling like a fool.“Where is Greg?” A voice called my attention.In my absorption of my pain, I did not realize that someone had barged in on the office. Startled, I quickly wiped my tears away and turned my head toward the direction of the door. I was surprised to see Lucas Sanders, Greg’s new boss coming in, playing with a key in his hand and realized it was a duplicate key to this office. Lucas strode toward me, his eyes narrowing as he studied my face. I stepped back, cringing inside, hating the inspection because it made me feel exposed.“What happened?” He asked curiously, staring at me as if he could see through my soul. I don’t know if it was just me, but since the conference meeti

Katherine POVThis is the ultimate humiliation. Greg is divorcing me with his mistress by his side.My chest heaves as I wordlessly march toward Greg’s desk, slapped the paper atop it and snatched the pen from its holder before shakily affixing my signature on the document. Rage that I had never known took over, making my body shake uncontrollably. “There. All done!” I told him, shoving the document to his chest. Greg almost stumbled when he grabbed it with his hands. I don’t care. I would have wanted him to fall so hard so that he may experience at least a modicum of the pain he was inflicting on me. My bad.Then, I shot Noreen a glare. She sat back on the couch, preening at my expense. “Whew! Signing the divorce paper is the most sensible thing you have done. At least Greg won’t have to put up with the farce you call marriage.” She muttered in disdain while she inspected her well-maintained fingernails with care. I snorted. Now, her claws are showing. I realized now that Nore

Katherine POVI don’t know what to make of his call, or why the sudden need to see me after I signed our divorce papers. I have high hopes that Greg had a change of mind. Not about the divorce but about helping Erin. I knew that there’s no way Greg is going to change his mind about our marriage. I had been feeling the gradual change in him since two years ago. I ignored the signs because I trusted him, but now, I realized that I placed my trust in the wrong man. A few minutes later, I found myself hesitating outside the cafe where Greg said he would meet me. Trepidation filled me before I made up my mind and pushed the door open.I walked in and instantly saw Greg. Thankfully, he was alone. “What do you want?” My voice sounded flat when I stopped by Greg’s table, but inside, I was nervous. I kept clenching and unclenching my hands as I waited for him to take his sweet time placing his phone on the side before deigning to look up at me. “You must be in such a hurry to come he

Katherine POVThe kiss jolted me. I never expected the aloof and standoffish Lucas Sanders to be capable of doing something like this.He hated me. I was sure of it. But why does his kiss tell me otherwise? There was anger, longing, affection, and something else which I could not define. I was like a statue, and for a few seconds, I did not respond until he growled, using that distinct tone when he said my name. “Kiss me back, Katherine.” I did not know what to do.I was shocked because for the first time in my life, I felt excitement. Heat pooled in my stomach, making my body tremble. Then, he lightly bit my lower lip, making it tingle, sending a low-voltage electric current coursing through my spine, and settling in the pit of my stomach. I shivered, not in fear, but in something else. Despite my misgivings, I shyly opened my lips when the tip of his tongue skimmed the inner seam. Then, I mimicked his actions. I kissed him back. This time, with so much unspent passion.This

Katherine POVI was not a perfect mom, but Erin’s words made me feel like somehow, in my past life, I did something good to deserve her, and it made me want to protect her more. “Mrs. Combs? Your phone had been ringing nonstop. I believe it was urgent.” The nurse prepping Erin for the operation peeked out the door to hand me my phone. I took it, grimacing when I saw the caller’s ID. It was Greg. Gingerly, I slid open my phone, and Greg’s furious voice came on the line. “You b*tch! Give me back my money! You did not fulfill the end of the bargain. Lucas Sanders fired me. I must have my money back.” Greg demanded from the other line. My heart sank. I knew, from the way my conversation with Lucas Sanders ended, that this might happen. But I never expected him to act so fast. “I already paid the hospital, Greg. The money is gone.” I admitted nervously. There was an ominous silence on the other end, and my heart started thudding hard in my chest.“Then, you better pay me back r

Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect? Chapter 109. Solemn And Magical
Katherine POVFor a moment, I thought he changed his mind, allowing doubt to creep in. But living in fear for too long makes one realize that there was a moment when she had to seize the moment and take a risk. Right now, I took a risk when I affirmed his question because he had become hesitant after asking the question. The glassy look on his face made me doubt if he was indeed serious with the proposal. But of course, raising your guard for a long time comes with a price -vulnerability. I tried to mask that weakness by pretending to be impatient, but inside, I was freaking out. What if he recalls the proposal?I grabbed his hand - the one with the engagement ring - to prove that the whole thing was not just a figment of my imagination. It was real. Lucas Sanders proposed to me. He had mentioned it previously but always tailed it with words that he would wait for my readiness. I realized no one was ready for anything. You take and accept things because they feel right. When L
Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect? Chapter 108. Beginning Today
Lucas POVMy chest pounded as I waited for Katherine’s reply to my proposal. Still, as the seconds stretched into a minute, I felt a wave of desolation washed over me. Disappointment was all over her features. My fingers closed on the diamond ring I bought with her in mind. "I know I did not prepare a grand proposal. I didn't even think of a good speech. I am also sorry for rushing you." I began to explain. It was different from pitching project proposals for my business because this would change my whole life. It sounded like I was babbling. The truth is, this is my first marriage proposal. I never proposed to anyone because no one came to measure up to this gorgeous woman in front of me. No one came close to how she has affected me that even after five years, she was still the only one I wanted. As I waited for Katherine’s reply, I remembered what Duke told me. “We can’t touch Agatha because JQ Entertainment is protecting her.”Now, the faceless man who dared to antagonize
Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect? Chapter 107. Marry Me, Please
Katherine POVI woke up alone in bed and felt slightly disappointed when I realized Lucas was gone. I turned to the side to hug the pillow he used on my chest, wishing it was him. It would have been nice to wake up and see him first thing in the morning. I was jolted from my daydreaming when the door to my room opened. Lucas entered the room with Erin in his arms. “Mommy!” Erin called out in a singsong voice. I watched her wiggle from Lucas’s arms. When her feet reached the floor, she began to run toward me. She climbed the bed and sat next to me. “You and Daddy sleep without me.” She complained.My eyes met Lucas above Erin’s head. Then, I turned to my daughter to mumble an apology. Erin shrugged. “It’s okay. Daddy promised we would sleep together tonight. You, me and Daddy.” Erin reported.The idea excited me. I began to caress Erin’s head to hide the pleasure the news brought. “Have you eaten?” I asked She bobbed her head. “Me and Daddy.” Then, she stood on the bed to tu
Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect? Chapter 106. Backlash
Katherine POV“I am sorry. I shouldn’t have stooped down to her level,” I told Lucas stiffly as we walked back to the bus.Until now, I could still hear Agatha’s rants and the expected whispers from our onlookers.If truth be known, hitting her and putting her in her place gave me immense satisfaction. Agatha shouldn't have insulted my daughter because that is where I draw the line.I felt a tug on my hand, prompting me to stop.“Agatha had it coming. You shouldn’t feel any regret.” Lucas told me.He held my chin and stared deep into
Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect? Chapter 105. Insult My Child
Katherine POV“Well. Well. Well. The sarcasm in Agatha Richards' tone was keenly comprehensible, especially if one cared enough to listen. Agatha was walking out of the function room at the same time we did. And because all doors lead to the lobby, we sort of ended up meeting in the middle. There is no way I could have avoided her, even if I wanted to. Then, she dropped the bomb that put me in the spotlight. “If it isn’t the fiance stealer.” She looked at me up and down, and her nose wrinkled in distaste as if she did not like what she saw. I know I am not as sophisticated or glamorous as her. I looked down the denim overalls I wore at the tree planting project and knew that compared to Agatha, I looked very ordinary. But Lucas’s hand, when it searched for mine, felt very comforting. I knew Agathaa saw how he held my hand and squeezed it. The action sent a signal that he was trying to silently assure me. This seemed to ignite Agatha’s anger. “How does it feel to be taking my
Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect? Chapter 104. Avoid At All Cost
Katherine POV“Put me down, Daddy!” Erin said, and Lucas swung her in his arms before he placed her feet firmly on the ground. “Thank you, Daddy.” She said sweetly before latching onto his hand. She gripped his thumb before she turned around to search the crowd. When she spotted me, she beckoned to me and said, “Come on, Mommy. Let’s go.” There were still some employees in the area, and as much as I would like to clamp a hand on Erin’s mouth, I couldn’t. I have to take everything in stride, just as Lucas had. No flaunting, and certainly no keeping secrets. I was just making things as natural as is. We can not hide forever. And from the looks of it, Lucas had no intention of hiding us either, especially Erin’s existence. I walked up to them. My breath hitched when Lucas snaked his arm around my waist and started gearing me toward the bus. At some point, Erin dropped his hand and ran toward Oliver. “Uncle Ollie. Wait up!” Oliver, who was walking with Veronica, stopped t
Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect? Chapter 103. Happy Day
Katherine POVI turned around to face Veronica, but she was already walking away. Then, my eyes squinted when Oliver blocked her path. I saw the tension in her body and thought I was not the only one who needed some explanation. Veronica also has to explain the tension with Oliver. From the looks of it, something is brewing between them. “Stare at him longer, and I was an inch from getting jealous, sweetheart.” Lucas' breath fanned my cheeks when he leaned close to murmur in my ears. I stepped to the side to allow distance between us, consciously aware of the people around us. I don’t want to add fuel to our grand entrance. Lucas’ employees already had something to talk about.But my action sent the wrong signal to Lucas. “Why are you avoiding me?” His eyes squinted in suspicion. I rolled my eyes. Here he goes again. “Shh,” I said, trying to hold him back from further incriminating the two of us.“What?” Lucas demanded when he saw me looking from left to right. Then, he sh
