Bye-Bye Jerk, Hello Mr. Right ( Love's Redemption) [On-Going] - Chapter 1-10

Chapter 1

“Come on, be honest. Have you ever slept with Keira?”

The guy’s deep voice stopped me just as I was about to walk in. Peeking through the crack in the door, I spotted Jace Johnston lounging in a fancy chair, his thin lips pressed together. “She made a move, but I’m not into her,” he said.

“Don’t say that. Keira’s a real catch around here. Lots of guys are into her,” replied Steve Smith, Jace’s friend, who knew all about our ten-year history.

Jace frowned. “We just know each other too well you know?”

When I was fourteen, I was sent to the Johnston residence and met Jace for the first time. Everyone told me he’d be my future husband. Since then, we’d lived together for ten years. “Exactly. You guys work at the same company, spend the whole day together, then head home to eat at the same table. You probably even know each other’s bathroom schedule by now,” Steve teased.

He continued, “These days, relationships thrive on mystery and the excitement of wanting what you can’t have. That’s what keeps things interesting.”
