Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 97: Wedding Day
Days turned into weeks, and now we only had one day left before our wedding day. I was really shocked when my mom told me the date of the wedding which was only a month away when they told me. Tonight, we are sleeping in separate rooms just because our parents are a bit old fashion. I mean we’re already gonna have a baby, what difference will it make, but we just let them be. They coordinated the wedding after all so we just followed everything that they say. “Do we really have to do this, love?” Gavin asked through the phone as he grumbled under his breath. “Our parents did everything for the wedding, so let’s just follow them.” I said to him but I could hear him mumbling complaints from the other line. “You know I can’t sleep properly without you by my side.” He said and I just couldn’t help but laugh at how childish he was acting tonight. “It’s just for a night, love. You can do it for one night.” I said to him and I could imagine his eyes rolling to the back of his eyes as he

“Can you still go on, love?” Gavin asked me as we waited in front of the entrance to the venue. We’ve been running around the venue for thirty minutes after the ceremony to have the post-wedding photoshoot. I got changed into a more casual dress after the shoot in my grand wedding dress and took another round of photos before the photographer was satisfied that he got all the shots that he needed. Honestly, I felt wiped but I couldn’t pass off the reception, it's the best part of the wedding. “Yeah. I’m fine. I just need some sugar in my system, that’s all.” I said to him as I leaned toward him for support. He smiled down at me as he pulled me closer to him. “Then let’s get some food for you and baby.” He said with a wink before holding my hand tightly as the doors of the reception area opened. The people inside clapped as the host introduced us. The spotlights blinded me for a second but I continued to wave at everybody inside while we were walking towards the center stage. "I kn

The coldness of the air immediately slapped my face as soon as we got off the plane. It was autumn in South Korea and It was so beautiful. The leaves all around were golden brown as they dance in the wind. “Let’s go, love.” Gavin said to me as he pulled my luggage together with his own. I nodded at him as I followed him out of the airport and into a taxi. All throughout the ride to the hotel, I was in complete awe of the new sights, environment, and culture surrounding me. I know, I should have more experience with traveling since I could afford it growing up but that wasn’t really the case for me. While I was growing up, I was so focused on impressing my parents that I didn’t have a life outside of my house and school. They would bring me on vacations but I always have my nose deep in my books that I never really actually enjoyed a vacation, until Gavin turned my world upside down. "Wow." That was the only word that I could utter as I walked into the lobby of the hotel we are goin
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 100: A Day in Seoul
I woke up early the very next day because I was so excited. Before Gavin even opened his eyes, I was already ready to go out. I had to rock his whole body just so he'd wake up and it was a lengthy task. "Gav! Wake up! It's morning." I said to him as I continued rocking his torso. He got hold of my waist and pulled me down, cuddling me like a pillow. His eyes then opened in shock and looked at me like he was having a dream. "How long were you awake?" He asked as soon as he saw that I had my make-up on and is already wearing a dress. "About an hour and a half." I answered him as I sat up on the bed. He rubbed his eyes before grabbing his phone. "It's just seven in the morning." He exclaimed as he covered himself up with a blanket again, but I pulled it off of him again. “Wake up! I already ordered breakfast!” I said to him but he turned his naked back on me. It pissed me off a bit, I admit so I smacked his bare butt. He jumped up as he felt my hand on his butt and I couldn’t hold in
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 101: Locking our Love
I clutched my legs as I sat on the bus with my husband. I really go crazy when I’m shopping. There were boutiques for everything. Clothes, shoes, household stuff, food that could only be found in South Korea, and even things for the baby. I went wild with now me and Gavin is stuck in a bus on the way to the Namsan tower with tons of shopping bags in both our hands. “Love, you shouldn’t be trusted with a black card!” He exclaimed as he catch his breath. I laughed at him, took my handkerchief out, and wiped the sweat on his face. It looks like he just had a full body workout with the amount of sweat his producing and the weather is not even hot. "Hey. I wasn't living the luxury life for years now. I'm just catching up." I said to him as I looked out the window while the bus drove away. I then felt his hand on mine and unconsciously smiled as he intertwined his fingers with mine. Soon the Namsan tower came into view and I couldn't hold in my excitement. My eyes widened as they took i
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 102: Homecoming
I felt really upbeat as we went down the tower, and I honestly, couldn't stop talking about the proposal. I just feel so happy for her and I knew she wasn't really expecting that to happen because of our conversation earlier. "I guess he was romantic after all." Gavin exclaimed as we finally get out of the cable car. "Yeah. They look very happy." I said as I recalled the event that I just witnessed earlier. "Hey! You say that like we weren't happy when I proposed to you." He said to me jokingly as he placed a hand on his chest, acting all hurt and offended. I couldn't help but laugh at how cute he is being right now, so I pinched his cheeks before pulling him into a kiss. "Who said I wasn't happy?" I asked as we started walking to the bus stop. It was past eight o'clock when we finally got back to our hotel room. My baby was already complaining as I settle down all the bags on the couch. Luckily, we already bought some food as we were walking back to the hotel. "Come on, love. Let
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 103: Here Comes Baby ZG
"What time are you coming?" I asked Andrea through the phone as I was busy cooking food for our get-together later tonight. I'm in my last trimester now, so I'm already on maternity leave and because baby ZG, our baby boy Zion Grant, could pop out any minute, I'm inclined to just stay at home, especially now, that I'm starting to feel some contractions in my tummy. "Maybe around five in the afternoon. Everyone is going tonight." She answered me as I heard some mumbling in her background. Baby Alexa had started babbling and she is as talkative as her mother. "Stop writing on the floor, baby. Cath, I have to go. Alexa's driving me crazy. I'll see you later." She said before ending the call. Andrea resigned from work but she did start a business, she's selling her homemade scented candles now. It was a hobby she picked up while pregnant with Alexa and now she has a room just for candle-making at their house. She wanted to focus on Alexa, so she opened a home-based business so she could
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 104: Zion Grant
I woke up, hearing voices from around me. I still don't know what's going on but I was sure I wasn't at home. And that's when it hit me, I had just given birth. I opened my eyes and my hands immediately went to my tummy, it was flat. I sat up and was in shock with what I saw. Mom, dad, and Gavin's parents were all huddled at my bedside, cooing and using baby talk to talk to my sleeping baby boy. "Oh, you're awake. How are you feeling, sweetheart?" My mom asked as she was the first to notice my movements. "I'm fine, mom. Still a bit tired, but I'm fine." I said to her as I looked around the room looking for my husband and I saw him curled up in a ball as he slept soundly in the corner of the room. The couch was really not big enough for him. "Here, Zoe. We brought food. We all came here as soon as your sisters called us. I think they stayed the night at your apartment." Dad said as he pulled out the bed table and placed my food on it. "Did Gav eat already?" I couldn't help but ask

Soon the party settled down and a two-tier birthday cake was pushed into the center of the garden. The people in attendance were just my family, friends, and co-workers, so I looked at my husband and he immediately understood what I was thinking. My kids led the crowd in singing Happy Birthday. Both of them were jumping up and down, clapping their tiny hands. I gestured for them to come over as the song came to an end and they joined me in blowing out my candles as everyone cheered. "Let's hear from the birthday girl!" Cam suddenly said, handing me the microphone. Gavin picked up Zia as I held ZG's hand while I addressed the rest of the crowd. "First and foremost, thanks to all of you for spending your time to celebrate my birthday with me. It has been a rough couple of weeks for me and my family, but standing here in front of you makes me realize just how much love we receive from lots of people around us, and for that, I want to show my gratitude to everyone who gave us strengt
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 137: Pains and Gains
The days in the hospital were still so agonizing. I could still feel the pain in my abdomen, just where the bullet hit me. The doctor told me that I might be experiencing the "phantom effect", you know? The feeling you get when you remove something but it still feels like it's there. They kept reassuring me that everything was fine, but I had my doubts that's why we decided to take a few more tests just to be sure. And just like any other day, Zia and ZG visited me right after school. They would always tell me everything about their day and these past few weeks, their stories have been the highlight of my days inside my dull hospital room. "When are you going home, mommy?" ZG asked as he got ready to go home for the night. "We're still not sure, baby. But I'm fine. The doctors just want to do some more tests to be sure." I answered him, patting his head before giving it a light kiss. "Don't worry, bud. Mommy will be home in no time." Gavin said as he lifted our youngest from t

His lips on mine were pure ecstasy. Honestly, I was left hanging and unsatisfied with his kiss earlier but this erases those longing feelings that were lingering in my chest as my doctor was checking on me earlier. His hand made its way to the back of my neck, pulling me closer and deepening the kiss. We were kissing each other as if our lives depended on it, and frankly, I think it does. It felt like an eternity since our lips met, but when we pulled away, out of breath it still didn't feel enough. Our eyes met and a smile was lingering on his lips. "Welcome back, love. I missed you." He whispered to me before planting a kiss on my forehead. "I missed you too, love." I whispered back, returning his smile before he pulled away and sat on the side of my bed. He started fidgeting with his phone which made my eyebrows furrowed. I just woke up from a two-week-long coma, as per what the doctor said to me, and here is my husband sitting beside me but is preoccupied with whatever inter
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 135: Come Back To Me
"Officer, can you watch over my kids for me? I just need to know what's happening to Cathy." I asked Officer Philipps and he nodded. "ZG, Zia, Officer Philipps will stay with you for a while, okay? He we keep you safe. Daddy is just going to see Mommy." I said to them, and they both nodded at me. "Come back soon, Daddy." ZG said and I nodded at him, giving them each a kiss on the forehead before heading out of their hospital room and making my way to the Emergency Room. "I'm looking for Catherine Mitchel, she got shot." I said as calmly as I could to the person at the desk. She nodded and started tapping on her computer. "The patient has been transferred to the operating room." She said and I dashed off before she could finish talking. The lights in the operating room were already on when I got there, so there was only one thing to do, wait. Minutes passed, then hours, and a couple of minutes after the three-hour mark, the doors opened. "How is she?" I immediately asked the
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 134: In Gavin's Eyes
I got out of the house, I need fresh air. I had to clear my mind or our conversation would not get anywhere. I was in the middle of the park when I decided to call someone I really trusted. "Good afternoon, sir. Can I speak with Officer Philipps?" I asked the person in the other line. "May I ask who this is?" He asked. "This is Gavin Mitchel." I answered shortly. "Okay, sir. I'll patch you in." He replied and a lively tune started playing before I was greeted by a familiar voice. "It's been a long time. How are you, Gavin?" Asked Officer Philipps through the phone. "Not so good, sir. I need your help." I then gave him a quick rundown of everything that went down. After I finished I heard him sigh. "Why do both of you attract these types of people?" He asked curiously, but even I couldn't give him an answer. "For now, be with Cath. I'll look into it and call you as soon as I get something." "Okay, Officer. Thanks... for everything." "Now, go home. And make sure Cath doesn't d
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 133: Hard Choices
This is probably the longest ten-minute shower I ever had. I'm still waiting for Nathan's instructions and I got into a huge fight with Gavin because of it. “You want me to be okay with him taking my wife in exchange for my kids?” He asked. “No way I’m letting him take any of you.” “Love, we can guarantee that he wouldn’t hurt me but we can’t say that it's the same for our kids. We don’t know what’s going inside his head.” I said, trying to reason with him. “No. No. Sorry, love. That is not an option.” He said walking out of our bedroom. It was a hard decision for me too, but I can't let my kids get hurt. I can't let any of them get hurt because of me again. This time, it's my turn to save them. I got out of the shower and Gavin was still not back in our room. I grabbed my phone and there it was. A message from Nathan. It didn't have any time or date, just the address, making me think that he probably wanted me there as soon as possible. That works for me because I want to see my k
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 132: Mom's Worst Nightmare
"Where are my kids, Nathan?" I began, trying my best to remain calm in the situation. Gavin tried to snatch my phone from me but I avoided it. I don't think it's a good idea to let the two of them talk. they both might explode. "They're safe. I have them with me. We had a little bonding session today. I was hoping you could join us?" He asked trying to sound sweet, but I couldn't help but feel a shiver down my spine as listened to him talk. "I'm still at work, Nate. Maybe another day? Do you mind dropping them off at the office?" I asked, acting oblivious to his motives. "Oh come on Cath. It's already seven in the evening, you should be home by now, right? Both you and your husband?" He asked and Gavin quickly took the phone from me. "Where are our kids, Nathan? I'm not playing with you!" Gavin angrily said through the phone. "You are going to talk to me! Just what do you want from us!" Then Gavin went silent. He looked at me, his eyes trembling. I could see fear in them. "Fine!
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 131: Mending Things
Being with Gavin again made me realize that I have never stopped loving him. No matter how much I wanted to forget about him, my heart remained with him throughout the years. I guess it is true, that no matter how far you walk away from each other, people who are meant to be together will always gravitate back to each other. "Mommy?" I heard Zia's voice as she was tugging on my dress. "Are you okay?" She asked me. "Why? What happened?" Gavin suddenly asked as he and ZG walked towards us. "Mommy was staring at you with a silly smile." Zia said that made my eyes bulge out of their sockets. "No, I wasn't." I said to her, looking right at her. Asking her to shut up with my eyes but it looks like I need to work on my silent communication with my daughter. "Yes. You were." She said before hopping away from us. "Just hold it in, love. Our kids are still awake." Gavin whispered to me, taking the picnic basket from my hand before following our daughter, leaving me dumbfounded. "I wasn't
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 130: Family Time
The weeks went by in such a bliss and now, we’re moving back in with their dad in our old apartment. It took a lot of convincing on my side but eventually, Gavin was able to make me agree with him. “Are we there yet?” Zia asked for the nth time as we were driving to the apartment. She has been very excited since we told them about the move, and couldn’t wait to see the room her big brother was talking about. “No yet baby. We’ll have to stop to get some groceries, remember?” Gavin answered her sweetly. “Aww. Are we going to stay there long?” She asked again with a pout on her face. “Come on, Zia. It’s going to be fun. And you can pick out some decorations for our room.” ZG said, calming her sister in the back seat. “Yey!” Zia screamed as she started humming the theme song of her favorite show. Thank goodness, ZG knows precisely what to say to his sister in every situation. When we got to the groceries, the two of them walked in front of me and Gavin and started getting things that
