Bye-Bye Jerk, Hello Mr. Right Chapter 12
Jace's face stiffened slightly. "Last night, I was worried something might happen to Tanya. You know Desmond was his parents' only son. Now, the baby she's carrying is their whole hope. If something went wrong..."He didn't finish, but I got it."So, as long as it's about her, you'll always put her first, right?" I asked coldly.Jace was quiet for a couple of seconds before he said, "Once the baby's born, things will be different."I laughed.As I turned my head, the rising sun stung my eyes.I looked at him. "Jace, even after the baby's born, there will be other problems. The baby might get sick or have accidents. As long as you can use this kid as an excuse, you and Tanya will always be tangled up, and I'll always be the one you leave behind."Jace didn't say anything.I made my stance clear. "Jace, after getting married, I don't want my husband taking care of another woman every few days.""Rea, give me some time. I'll sort this out." Jace's eyes showed conflict."What is

The amusement park was almost finished, and I didn't want to bail at such a crucial time.Around noon, while I was organizing my stuff, Demi came up to me with a weird look on her face. "Keira, are you on your period?"I stared at her. "Why? Am I not allowed to?""No, no." Demi shook her head frantically. "I mean, Mr. Johnston's been in a terrible mood today. Guess he's just sexually frustrated."I paused, then realized what she meant.I tapped her head with my pen. "Focus on your work during work hours and stop with the nonsense."Demi giggled and handed me the report we reviewed at the site yesterday. "I'm not just making this up. Everyone's scared of Mr. Johnston today. Anyone who went into his office came out looking miserable."I remembered Jace angrily throwing the roses in the trash this morning. I couldn't tell if he was in a bad mood because I didn't let him off the hook like I usually do, or if it was because I talked about breaking up."Did you guys have a fight?" De

Tanya's face went pale, tears welling up in her eyes, making her look so pitiful. "Jace, you're tired of me, aren't you?" she asked, tears starting to fall.Jace stayed silent, a cold aura around him."But if Desmond were still here, I wouldn't be bothering you..." Tanya's voice had a desperate edge."Being bothered by you is one thing, but don't bother her," Jace said, referring to me.It looked like they were about to argue. I didn't know if I should stay or leave."I get it. I won't bother you anymore, or her," Tanya said, turning abruptly and walking out.This time, Jace didn't chase after her. He turned to me instead. I lowered my head slightly and started to walk away.Jace followed closely behind me. As we stepped out of the café, a loud screeching of brakes caught our attention.We both looked up to see Tanya being hit by a car coming out of a car park."Tanya!" Jace yelled, running toward her.I hesitated for a few seconds, then followed him."Jace, the baby..." Tan

Lena sensed I wasn't telling the whole truth but didn't press further. "Alright, I'll let you know if there's any news. By the way, where are you going tonight? If you don't want to go back to the Johnston residence, you can stay at my place."Lena was on the night shift tonight, so staying at her place made the most sense.I really didn't want to go back to the Johnston residence, especially since Jace and I were sharing a room now.But crashing at Lena's place forever wasn't a great idea either. Even though she didn't have a boyfriend, everyone needs their own space."Alright," I agreed. Until I found somewhere else, her place was better than a hotel.Even though I had a spot at Lena's for the night, I didn't head straight there. Instead, I drove to Emberholm.Emberholm was an old town, but it was still home to a lot of people, mostly renters, because the rent was cheap.I came here because my parents' apartment was here. Before my parents passed away, the three of us lived he

"Keira, please don't get the wrong idea."Tanya's words almost made me laugh.Remembering what she said earlier about her "boyfriend's" preference for bed linens, it turned out she was talking about Jace."Is this for Jace?" I asked, glancing at the bed linens she picked. Blue and gray—totally his favorite colors.But that was back then. Now, thanks to me, his taste had brightened up a lot.Tanya bit her lip and hesitated for a few seconds before shaking her head. "No, don't get the wrong idea, it's for my brother."I was too tired to deal with her games, so I cut to the chase. "So Jace is moving in with you now?"Didn't he say he couldn't let Tanya's baby get hurt? Watching over her all the time seemed like the next step."How can you say that?" Tanya snapped."You're even buying his bed linens. How can I not say that?" I shot back, mocking her."You're too jealous. Jace won't like that," she replied, making me laugh."Why are you laughing?" Her innocent, wary eyes were fix

Although Tanya's presence had been annoying, it didn't ruin my appetite. I enjoyed a large plate of creamy pasta before heading back to the office.As soon as I got there, I received a call from Lindey. I hadn't been home for two days, so it was normal for her to call. "Hey, Lindey.""Rea, don't stay at your friend's place too long. Come home tonight. I made gnocchi with cumin and ground beef," Lindey said, making me smile.It seemed Jace had already come up with an excuse for my absence.I had decided to move back to the apartment in Emberholm, so I had to go to the Johnston place to pack my stuff. I told Lindey, "I'll be back tonight," and left it at that.As the workday was ending, Demi came up to me. "Keira, you doing okay?""Why wouldn't I be?" I asked, puzzled."Office gossip. Ignore it. I've seen how much Mr. Johnston cares about you," Demi said, hiding her phone behind her back."Hand it over," I said, my tone serious.Reluctantly, Demi gave me her phone and opened the

My heart was touched. Even though I was a foster child in this family, Jace's parents treated me with the same care and love as their own daughter. They made me feel like one of them.I remembered Jace's brother, Wayne, joking that ever since I joined the family, both he and Jace had been knocked down the pecking order.Lena was right. I could break up with Jace, but breaking away from his family would be much harder.I took a deep breath and pushed the door open.Everyone's eyes turned to me, and Lindey quickly got up and came over. "Rea, you're back. We were just waiting for you to have dinner.""Hey Lindey, Matthew," I greeted them. Jace, who had been kicked by Matthew, stood up and came over.He took my bag. "Why are you back so late?""I played some pool," I said. I knew Steve would tell him about our meeting, so there was no point in hiding it.Jace frowned a bit. "Next time you want to go, call me to join."He didn't like me hanging out for fun, especially without him.

Gavin Lawson was his secretary.I stayed quiet, and Jace looked down. "Rea, what do you want me to do? Just tell me, okay?"He sounded powerless, helpless, even somewhat despondent. Seeing him like this was rare."Jace, we've broken up. You don't need to worry about this. Take care of her however you want," I said.He shook his head and stepped closer, trapping me between the sink and his chest. "Don't even think about it. We're getting our marriage certificate tomorrow.""Jace, do you really want to marry me?" I remembered the conversation he had with Steve and spoke directly. "We know each other too well. So well that you have no interest in even sleeping with me, right?""I told you it was just a joke. That night, I was—""Jace," I interrupted him, not wanting to revisit that night, "that night is a shadow that will haunt me for the rest of my life. Do you get that?"His eyes narrowed, and he asked helplessly, "What do you want me to do so you'll forgive me and not break up?
