Katherine POVI don’t know what to say. One moment Lucas Sanders was furious with me. He had gone ballistic. The next moment, he barged into my office, hugging me like it was the most logical thing to do.My cheeks flamed in a mixture of fear and excitement. He was my boss. I wanted to protest, but the protest died in my throat when his warmth enveloped me. One thing that registered in my head while I was tucked in his arms. It was how natural it felt to be enfolded in his arms. It was like Lucas Sanders and I had done this several lifetimes ago. And because it felt natural, my arms lifted to mimic his actions and encircled his waist. Then, I closed my eyes, savoring the feeling. By now, we were hugging each other like any lovers would. The idea made me feel fuzzy and warm inside. What was it about the man that made me do mad things that defy logic or reason?Why does it feel like I was the moth to Lucas’ flame? I can't help but always gravitate toward him when he is near.I

It does not say a lot, but the picture and the caption tell a thousand words.I had to thank Veronica for coming to my office to show me this post.She saved me from making a decision that would spell disaster with a capital D.While I stared at the post, anger flared up within me.How could Lucas Sanders be so cruel?

Lucas POV“I wanted to know how Agatha Richards had the same exact ring as the one Dan bought for me,” I told Kurt that evening we met in my office.When I looked at the image, my anger shot through the roof. I checked the drawer where I kept the ring. It was intact.“Sir, the ring was not customized.” Dan pointed out.He came into the room and took the ring from the box to examine it before handing it to Kurt.Kurt began calling people, and within minutes, he had the answer we wanted.I frustratedly ran my fingers through my hair and sigh

Katherine POVI saw the disappointment in Lucas’ eyes when I came back dressed in jeans and a shirt. Until now, I was not confident with my appearance as a woman.Even Greg did not make me feel desired during those years we were married, especially in the months he was cheating on me.“Coffee?” Lucas offered the mug on the side.“I already made myself at home and asked Sara if I could borrow your coffee maker.” He explained with his palm on the back of his head after I received the mug.I nodded and thanked him before taking a sip.Erin stood on

Enjoy watching.I clicked the link. At first, the lights blinded me. It was only later that I realized that it was an indoor shoot.In the video clip, Agatha came in while everyone was busy shooting.No one attended to her unlike before when she used to have a grand entrance and everyone goes “gaga” over her. The production crew, even the director, would fawn

Katherine POVMy eyes widened in horror when I heard Erin’s voice.I jumped out of my chair and ran out of the kitchen to find Veronica inside the apartment. She was talking to Erin, but the glint in her eyes was unmistakable when she met mine.I strode briskly to her side to grab her elbow so she could follow me to the kitchen, but Veronica resisted.She turned her gaze to our boss, who did not seem unfazed that one of my co-workers found him in my home.“Good morning, Mr. Sanders. I did not know that you and Katherine were friends.” She said in a tone that was full of meaning.I bit my lip and groaned in my head.“Mr. Sanders dropped by to visit Erin.”It was the truth anyway. He did not inform me he was coming over.At the same time, I shot Veronica a warning glare. She bit her lips, but I could feel her laughing at my embarrassment.After exchan

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.

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
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

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
