Replaced (Jack Gilinsky)

four

It's been a month after the whole fucked up thing happened, I'm glad that they haven't brought it up after that. I dont know what to say to that, I mean I will never marry my sister's husband, but I dont want to make Katherine sad too. This shit is just so overwhelming for me.

Right now I'm on my way to Daryl to tell him some good news. Lanex Inc, the company where I got my internship from offered me a job there, not the high position but it's enough for me and I have my skill on that position, I'm so happy, I dont need to do job hunting. Mr. Lanex told me that I've done good there between all the interns. Thank God, all my efforts are worth it.

When I arrived at the seventh floor where his office is, I'm greeted by the lovely Mrs. Underwood, the receptionist, "Good morning, Ms. Whitesides."

"Morning, Mrs. Tempest." I greeted back with a smile and nod her way.

"How many times do I need to tell you to call me Ursula?" She warned, a playful threatening expression on her slight wrinkling face.

"Why would I listen when you refused to call me Petra?" I playfully smirked at her, standing in front of her receptionist desk. "And I'm showing respect since you're a lot older than me."

We laughed at that, I know Mrs. Tempest for long enough. She is Daryl's secretary and is a kind-hearted woman, I like her. I walked towards Daryl's office after saying 'see you later' to Mrs. Tempest.

Before I could open the door, someone behind the door already did just that. A woman came out, she looked down and didnt see me coming untill she bumped into me hard. She lifted her red face up to see me, I noticed the tears on her face before she rushed out of here and left me wondering what happened.

I got in Daryl's room to find him sitting behind his desk and pinching the bridge of his nose, I know that gesture. Whenever he's frustrated, he did just that.

I closed the door behind me and he's still not knowledge me, so I spoke, "Daryl." Daryl jumped, startled to see me but he quickly covered it with a nervous smile.

"Baby, what are you doing?" Daryl's shaking voice asked, running a hand through his hair.

"There's something I need to tell you, "I paused, "Umm.. but who is that girl crying and walking out of your office?" My curious self cant help but asking.

"I just fired her." He simply replied as if what he just did not wrong at all. I mean there must be reasons why she got fired but he didnt need to make her cry. Poor her.

"Doesnt mean you have to make her cry." I retorted, putting on a serious face.

"She cried?" He asked, scowling.

"Yeah."

"Can we just talking about the things you need to tell me?" He loudly sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.

I understand that he's tired and work frustrated him so I just let it go and go to the point why I visit him. He got up from his chair and walking to the couch with me before he pulled me on his lap, he wrapped his arms around my waist, once we got comfortable, I spill the news to him and he told me that he's proud of me and happy for me, although he eventually asked me why I wouldnt just work for him, he would accept me with open arms if I want to but I refused.

It's not that I dont want to meet him everyday, it's just that I want to know hiw to survive and work hard on my own and I dont know what will happened if our relationship comes to an end which I pray to God not to let that happen. I love him so much.

I ran through the corridor, trying to find number 56 on the door. Finally found it, I opened it. Panic caused shivers to ran down my spine when I saw Kat's fragile body laid on it.

I run towards her, standing by her side and bending down to wrap my arms around her. She's awake but her eyes showed tiredness, she smiled at my presence before her shaking hands stroking my back.

"Katherine." I mumbled, pulling out of the hug before I held her hand and asked, "Are you okay?"

"I'm okay, darling." She replied with a soft weak voice. "Take a seat, Petra." She said, pointing to the empty chair beside Jack.

I dont know he's already here. I must be really eerie that I didnt knowledge him here when I burst inside the room. I sat down beside the empty chair beside Jack, not letting go of Kat's hand from my hold.

"I dont feel really good lately, I'm sorry if I'm asking too much from you two, but I-" A sob interrupted her mid sentence but she continues after inhaled, "But I-I really want to hold my grandchildren before I take my last breathe.." She cried, the sound broke my heart. She brought her hands up her face to wipe the tears away but they're just keep strolling down her face.

Is that what she really wants? I cant stand her vulnerable state, I will do this for her. I will do as she wish because all this time she's the one who always granted my wishes.

"Okay, Katherine." I blurt out, keeping my tears at bay. Katherine's wide eyes met mine and I'll make it clear for her by saying, "I'll marry Jack and give you grandchildren."

And with that Katherine's fell into another cry and so am I, but she managed to smile of joy through her tears whereas me.. managed a smile but it's a sad one.

Wow, she's willing to do it! Omagaaaa, it's going to be lit lit lit i promise!! Vote and comment to know what'll happen next. Love y'all!! 😘😘
