Bye-Bye Jerk, Hello Mr. Right Chapter 445
I sat there, just as tense as they were. The camera flicked back to the table just in time for the opponent's return shot to fly out of bounds, and the arena exploded. My girl raised her paddle in victory, grinning.I couldn't help but smile too.As the victory music blasted, I spun my chair back to face Tanya. "She won," I said, grinning like a proud mom.Tanya wasn't impressed. "You've watched your dumb match. Now, why are you really here?"I pushed off the floor and slid my chair closer, crossing one leg over the other.I was still rocking the black silk skirt from last night's dinner with Nate and Lena. Standing, the slit was subtle, but now? Sitting? It was showing off most of my thigh.My skin, smooth and flawless, practically glowed against the dark fabric under the harsh hospital lighting.Tanya's eyes went straight to my legs. Even though she was a woman, even though she loved showing off too, I saw the flicker of envy.I got it. She hadn't had the chance to flaunt any

"What the heck are you doing? Give me my phone!"Tanya freaked out, practically launching herself at me, hands outstretched like she was going to tackle me.Yeah, right. If she wasn't hiding something, she wouldn't be acting like this, which made me even more curious.I dodged her, holding the phone just out of her reach. In the chaos, my thumb slipped, and the call connected.It rang once, then whoever it was hung up.Not answering? Suspicious much?I redialed just as Tanya jumped off the bed, barefoot and desperate. "Keira, what the f*ck is wrong with you? Give me my phone!" She was swearing up a storm, lunging at me like a maniac.Finally, someone picked up."Why are you calling again when I already hung up?"Wait...that voice... Retta?I froze for a second, the puzzle pieces clicking into place.No way. Retta? Miss Perfect? And now she's getting shady just to land a guy? Wow."Prof. Roane, sticking your nose into OB-GYN now?" I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm.Dea

I blinked. Was she serious? Did she think this was some kind of easy jackpot?"No," I said, shutting her down without hesitation."Why not?" she pressed.I didn't even bother. But, of course, she couldn't leave it alone. "Is it because Jace gave it to you?"Her imagination was wild."Didn't you hear what his dad said at the grand opening?" I reminded her.Tanya let out this snide laugh. "That was just for show."Ugh, there was no reasoning with her.I wasn't wasting more time, so I cut to the chase, "Why do you even want the park, anyway?""Because it makes money. If I had it, I wouldn't have to worry about anything for the rest of my life," she said, trying to sound all practical.Honestly, it seemed fair enough—except I wasn't buying it."Tanya, let's be real. You want something from me, but you're not being honest. How am I supposed to say yes to that?" I called her out.Her eyes flickered, like she wasn't sure if she should spill the truth. "You really want the truth?"

So, Tanya wanted to drag me down with her, huh?Classic. This was the same woman who used her husband's death to climb the ladder, so of course she'd try to use someone else. She wasn't bluffing. I knew she'd do exactly what she said.I'd have to keep my guard up around her.I leaned in, locking eyes with her. "Alright, let's see who crashes and burns first."Then, with a swift kick to her hand, I turned and strode out.As I reached the door, I couldn't help thinking about the baby she caused to be born early with all her drama, so I said, "Oh, and Tanya? If you've got even a shred of decency left, maybe take a look at the kid you brought into this world. At least let him know who his mom really is."She froze, and I turned away, leaving without another word.I headed straight to Lena's break room to wait for her. Ten minutes later, she finally showed up."You're still here?" she grinned. "Didn't think you'd actually wait for me."I gave her a look. "Cut the act. What did your

I caught on quick. "And when you walk out, the director's gonna freak. You're Seavora's top OB-GYN—they'll be begging you to stay.""Exactly. I'm hitting two birds with one stone. By the end of this mess, I might even snag the deputy director spot."Lena's ambition wasn't off the charts—she was just gunning for deputy director.I couldn't help but laugh. "When life throws mud, you make a whole garden out of it."Lena shot a look at my phone and tilted her head toward it. "Use that VIP status of yours and book me a flight."Classic Lena. She made a move, and the world would scramble to catch up.I pulled out my phone and had her ticket booked before she even finished her water. Then I drove her home so she could pack.As we pulled up to the airport, I raised an eyebrow. "Didn't the director tell you to stay for the investigation?"She just laughed. "And you're only asking now? Does it even matter?"I laughed too. "So, this was the plan all along?""Duh. The whole surgery's rec

My heart skipped a beat. "What happened?"Jace's face darkened. "He got into a fight."A fight overseas, right before a major competition? That didn't sound like Steve. "Did he ask you to come?"Jace hesitated. "He's been detained."I blinked, stunned. "That serious?""Yeah, and if things don't go well, he could be facing long-term imprisonment." His words knocked the wind out of me for a second.Seeing the worry on my face, Jace added, "I don't know all the details yet. One of his teammates called. I'm heading over to figure things out."I nodded slightly. "Let me know if anything—""Do you want to come with me?" Jace cut in, eyes locked on mine.I wasn't expecting that. My mouth opened, but before I could answer, Jace continued, "His teammate said Steve's not doing well. He's been really agitated. If you're there, maybe you could calm him down."Steve wasn't just a friend—he was family. Someone who'd always had my back. Now he was in trouble, far from home, and of course I

"What are you doing here?" Hayden set down the papers he'd been holding.I walked up behind him, letting my fingers brush along his chin. "I missed you."Instead of smiling at my confession, he immediately sensed something was off. His hand slipped around my waist, and in one smooth motion, he pulled me onto his lap. "What's going on?"Seeing the concern in his eyes, I playfully tapped his nose. "You always know when something's up, don't you?""Then don't keep things from me.""Lena's left the country," I started, deliberately leaving out the part about Steve—for now.He didn't look surprised, just gave a soft "Oh."Hayden had this perfectly defined nose, and I traced it with my finger. "You're a guy, so you get how men think. Do men like it when women cling to them?""Is this a question for Lena?" He raised a brow, letting me mess with his face."Not just her. It's for me too... and for, like, all women everywhere.""It depends on the guy," he said, dodging a real answer.

"Why are you asking me for permission to do something you want?" Hayden countered.I leaned my head against his neck, avoiding his gaze as my fingers toyed with the buttons on his shirt. "Because I don't want you to overthink it. I don't want you to be upset."He pressed a gentle kiss to my forehead, the warmth of it spreading over me. "So, you're worried about how I'll feel?"There was a soft happiness in his voice, like my concern for him meant more than I realized. It reminded me that men need to feel cared for too."Of course. You're my boyfriend. I don't want you thinking I'd ever leave you behind for someone else, especially not a guy I used to be with. I wouldn't want you feeling weird about me staying connected to an ex," I said honestly.I knew too well what it felt like to deal with betrayal and suspicion, and I never wanted Hayden to go through that because of me."You care so much about me," Hayden teased, though his voice was filled with affection. His words brought
