Jackie’s POVAround the room were clothes, scattered around, on the bed, the floor and the couches. I was going to regret messing up the room like the way it is by the end of the day but I could not blame myself… sort of. My trip to New York was tomorrow and I have been too lazy to pack my bags or done anything to show that I had an important trip hours away. I had a night plane so maybe that was what made me feel lazy and think I had extra hours.“Ugh!” I was frustrated. “Where the hell is my green shirt?”My head felt heavy and my mind was racing from the stress I was feeling. My eyes darted around the room in search of it. I ran my fingers through my hair and roughened my hair. I groaned and went to my bed and sat on it. I glared at my luggage and crossed my arms.“I wish the idiot I consider my so called partner was here. I would not be stresses about this. Tsk, I would not even be making this trip. Instead, I would have been getting the baby mama or baby girl treatment.” I frowne

Jackie’s POVThe universe either hated me or I committed a crime in my past life, and this was the day I paid for it. How was it that out of all the investment companies to be interested in my project, it had to be where Lucas worked at. I wanted whatever prank this was to end.Lucas fucking Hamilton was sitting at the head of the table, eyes wide and mouth open in surprise. It felt like I was having a bad dream seeing him there. I was either still at my hotel sleeping or was still in Atherton because there was no way I was seeing Lucas again after he left me.“Miss. Garner?”I flinched and faced the person that had called my name. It was an older man, giving me a strange look. I smiled and nodded. I was here for something important and I was not about to ruin that because of the man on the other side of where I stood.“My apologies,” I said and placed my things on the table then opened my bag with shaky hands.I pulled out the file full of my proposal and started to distribute it to

Jackie’s POVI chose not to make a move. Maybe if I don’t move, he won't speak again.“Jackie.”I shut my eyes, praying he stopped and let me walk away. I did not have the strength or mind to face him, I was still getting over the shock of seeing him again. I was between a rock and a hard place right now; I wanted to lash out at him or walk away. This was not how I expected us to meet again.My back straightened when I heard him walking toward me. I held the straps of my bag tightly when his body entered my line of sight then he stood in front of me. I looked down at our feet and swallowed.“Look at me, please,” he said, and I bit my lip. “How are you here and—-”“What kind of question is that?” I asked, cutting him off. “Look, I have places to be and being here with you isn’t one of them.”“Please,” he said, taking a step closer and somehow blocking my lane to the door. “Please, can we talk? I have so much to explain to you and—”“What do you have to explain? No, tell me. Would sayin

Jackie’s POVAfter he explained everything, I was left feeling as if my tongue was heavy. Lucas just told me everything that I wanted to hear and I was still feeling conflicted. I was happy though. Happy that he was not with her, that he was still in love with me. It made me feel a relief in me but our relationship was too much for me to handle because—“Jackie?”I blinked and turned my head to stare at him. He was giving me a small smile while he looked at me. I took my time to admire his face. He was still the same good looking guy I fell for. His beautiful blue eyes was still the same pretty eyes I love to look at, his perfect full yet arched brows, and those slightly thick lips that shielded a perfect row of white teeth. Looking at him, he looked more mature, with whispers of beards around his jawline. The more I stared, the more I could see the stress in his eyes.“Lucas?” I barely knew I was saying his name until he hummed and I blinked in realization.“What is it?” He asked and

Jackie’s POVI barely slept a wink last night when my head was full of Lucas and my relationship with him. I felt like my high school self when I met Lucas. Butterflies in my belly and heart fluttering. Stupid absentminded smile throughout the night and head empty, just Lucas. I needed to control myself or it was the hormones making me act the way I was being. I was certain it was my pregnancy hormones. I wanted his touch on my body, ever since he left. Something about getting him to fuck me, to make me come undone from his touch burned inside me.I sighed from frustration when I started to throb from the images of a shirtless Lucas, standing before me with his muscular upper body displayed for me to look at with him in gray sweatpants that would be low on his hips, those hips that I found sexy, especially when his V-line was showing.“Damn it,” I said under my breath and slowly got out of bed, dispelling the images of Lucas. “Get a hang of your damn self.”Someone knocked on my door,

She had the most intimidating aura and her dress sense let me know that she was not just a random girl and if I was a guy, I would ask her out right this instant. Heck, I understood if Lucas left me for her. She was perfect.“Jackie?”I blinked and flushed from embarrassment when I realized that I had my mouth hanging open. I closed it and cleared my throat then faced Jared who was smiling like an idiot. I glared at him before looking sideways at Maddie when she drew out a seat and sat down.“Hi,” she said and stretched out her hand for a shake.I smiled and shook her hand then dropped it on the table. We were silent for what seemed to be an eternity before Jared burped.“Look, can you be normal for one second? Just one… if one is too much for you, half a second then,” Maddie said with plea heavy in her voice.I didn’t even know when I burst out laughing. It was pro

He was kissing me as if I was glass that would break if he was not careful and that healed a part of me and made me feel safe with him in that moment.Soon after, he pulled away from my lips, leaving a small space between our lips. I wanted more from him to the point I gripped his shirt and pulled him closer, making him scoff a smile. He cleared his throat and took a step back, putting a huge space between us.

Jackie’s POVHow was Lucas’ mom here? What business did she have with the people here? Was she friends with one of the women or knew Darrell’s mom? I was not comfortable with what I was seeing or the sudden change of atmosphere. My heart was beating fast as I felt like I was caught doing something bad.“Uh… Jackie. My name is Jackie,” I said, replying to her question and the women awed while she kept a blank face on.“You have such a beautiful name.”“She is really pretty.”“Prettier in person.”I shook my head internally at the words the women were uttering and smiled. I glanced at Darrell when he wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer to his side. His behavior confused me, but I ignored it and kept smiling.“She is indeed, and I am very happy to have her in my family.”A woman, looking in her fifties with long black hair and a red dress rose from her seat, smiling. I could see a small resemblance on her face. She looked like Darrell a little bit and I knew at that m
