Five years and a divorce paper in my hand before I realized that I invested my time, effort and devotion to the wrong man. Right after he got the contract that would make his company a subsidiary of the SF Conglomerate, Greg Combs, my husband of five years, dropped me and my sick daughter for another woman. Devastated and with mounting bills to pay at the hospital, I was surprised when I got help from someone who I least expected to help me, Lucas Sanders, my husband’s new boss. His offer was too-good-to-be-true. It does not add up to the ruthless and aloof billionaire I know. But then, beggars can’t be choosers. My daughter’s health is way more important than assessing the motives of this seemingly perfect man. When he reached out for my hand, a small electric current shot through my arm. I gasped as a mixture of excitement and fear sent shivers up my spine. While I looked at our clasped hands, I knew it was time to say goodbye to the past, and say hello to the present. But as to what cost?

Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect? Chapter 69. I Love You, Too
Lucas POVAwkward. That is how I felt every time I would meet Veronica’s gaze from across the cramped living room of Katherine's apartment. After Erin disappeared with Katherine in one of the rooms to presumably change into outdoor clothing, leaving me with Veronica Miller.When it was just Erin and me, the space did not bother me so much, but with Veronica, the silence felt uncomfortable. When Erin and Katherine emerged from the room, I heaved a huge sigh of relief and stood from the couch. Veronica, who sat from across me, stood, too. “Uncle Lucas, I am ready,” Erin reported. She changed into denim pants, a blouse, and sneakers. Strapped on her shoulder toward the middle of her chest was a crossbody bag with a pink pig design. And unlike earlier, her hair is now gathered into a ponytail. I smiled when she latched her small hand to mine and felt a tingle in my heart. Then, I looked at her mother.“She is allergic to peanuts.” Katherine reminded me and handed me a backpack w

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

Lucas POVI asked Erin to play with her dolls for a while when I received a notification from my phone.It was an email from Duke.There was a link and a message that said, I think this would make you happy. 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 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

Lucas POV“Hello, Erin.”Erin’s eyes zeroed in on the food bags, and they automatically sparkled like fairy lights.She jumped up and down in excitement.“Slow down!” I said, horrified.Suddenly, I panicked at the thought that the sudden movement would put a strain on her body. She was still recovering from her surgery.But Erin did not seem to mind.“Did you buy pancakes from Delia’s? It’s my favorite.” The delight in her voice was unmistakable.&n

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 POVAfter rejecting my boss and hearing him click the button to end our call, I regretfully put the phone down.My eyes then strayed to a social media post of Agatha Richards. 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? Did he think that I wouldn’t find out about his duplicity

Lucas POV“She’s a cheater. You hated her.”Oliver reminded me when I told him what had transpired between me and Katherine earlier.I winced at the reminder. It seemed like a lifetime ago when I said those words that came to haunt me.But looking at things right now, I do not care anymore. Katherine is divorced. Maybe she could find it in her heart to love me again.I sensed her reaction every time I was near, and I can’t deny that there was that spark. I knew she felt it, too, but she was scared.I was scared, too.&n
Last Updated : 2025-04-08Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect? Chapter 61. Date Me
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

Chapter 1. The Betrayal
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...
