NovelBookChapter 23 Tanya's face turned red, then white again.
+15 BONUS Honestly, her act was pathetic. If she wanted to steal someone's fiancé, she should just own it. Jace gave her the house meant for me, after all. She could at least show sconfidence.
But no. She did shady things and still tried to act all innocent.
'Really, this bitch wants to have her cake and eat it too,' I cursed inwardly.
"Keira, Jace won't like this behavior," Tanya dared to talk toabout this.
I laughed out loud. If I still cared about Jace's affection now, I'd be out of "Keep his affection for yourself," I shot back, shutting her down again.

Tears welled up in Tanya's eyes, and I was glad I had Gavin around. Without him, her tears would've made things way too complicated.
"What do you mean? Aren't you getting married today?" Tanya asked, hope flickering in her eyes.
Look at her, so ambitious." Suddenly, I didn't want to give her the satisfaction, so I said, "Yeah, we are. We'll get our certificate soon. Jace consulted an abbot about the best time, and he said 10:58. Supposedly, it's to ensure a long and happy marriage with lots of kids." The sparkle in Tanya's eyes shattered.
Seeing her hopes dashed, I delivered another blow. "After Jace and I get our marriage license, make sure to send us a wedding gift." Tanya staggered, almost falling. Remembering her past tics, I added, "Jace isn't here to catch you if you fall." My retort left Tanya speechless. She just bit her lip, a look that would definitely trigger a protective instinct in most guys.
Maybe that was how she snagged Jace's heart.
But it didn't matter anymore. From today on, Jace was just another person in my life.
Weirdly, it didn't hurt as much as I thought it would.
You don't get over someone overnight. After Jace's repeated betrayals, today's incident didn't breakany further. "Let's go, Gavin," I called out, walking away.
"Ms. Kay, this might be a misunderstanding. Let's hear Mr. Johnston's explanation," Gavin pleaded as we stepped outside.
He probably knew what my decision would be after seeing all this.
+15 BONUS "If you were me, would you believe his explanation?" I asked, leaving Gavin silent.
"Don't tell Jace about this," I added. With that, I left.
Back at the office, everyone was totally shocked to see me. "Ms. Kay, isn't today your big day with Mr. Johnston? Why are you here?" "Just remembered a few important things I gotta wrap up," I replied casually, leaving them all staring.

I'd always been on top of things at work, never slacking even though e.
was Jace's fiancée. [You're really setting the bar high,] Demi teased, adding a cute emoji.
I didn't say anything, staying focused on my tasks.
At ten, Jace called, "Rea, where are you?" "I'm at the office." He hesitated, then asked, "Why are you still there? I'll cget you."
"No need. We're meeting at the clerk's office, right? Vill head over how. • right?!!! Just wait for me," I said, hanging up.
I sat in silence for a moment before grabbing my bag. However, I leintentionally left the killed-out marriage license form in the drawer.
