Chapter 5 1 first met Jack at Walker Corp. I was doing an internship there , starting from the bottom despite being the owner's daughter . Just another face in the crowd , learning the business from scratch . Jack started as an intern the same day . He wasn't brilliant - actually seemed kind of slow . But coming from a small town , he had this incredible work ethic . Every time I passed his desk , he was buried in work . The focus in his eyes caught my attention . When HR wanted to let him go , I quietly pulled some strings . Got him promoted early . His face lit up that day like a kid at Christmas . After that , he worked even harder . What drew me to him was his grit . His refusal to give up . As we grew closer , I discovered another side to the quiet guy . He could be surprisingly funny , making me laugh until my sides hurt . Everything felt natural with him . Even our silences were comfortable . Then came that night at Murphy's Bar . My mom had just died . I was drinking alone , drowning my grief . Outside , some drunk guys started harassing me . That's when Jack showed up , like some hero in a movie . He got beaten pretty badly , but he got me out of there . Watching him take those hits for me ... that's when I fell for him . I confessed while visiting him in the hospital. His eyes sparkled when he said yes . We had a simple romance . Street food , walks in the park, dollar movies . I kept playing the regular office girl . Then came time to meet my family . When Dad revealed who we really were , Jack froze like a deer in headlights . Dad didn't care about Jack's background . He just had one rule : Jack would take our family name in marriage . I expected hesitation . Most guys would balk at that , especially an only son . But Jack agreed instantly . Even signed a prenup right there - saying he'd walk away with nothing if he ever cheated . I thought it was true love . shtor Got Ernelled for " Apples Times Oranges " -Come Now ! 8.0 % Chapter 5 After the wedding, he was the perfect husband . Gentle , attentive , loving . He didn't mind our daughter taking my name . Treated her like a princess . I gave him a division of Walker Corp to run, wanting him to have his own success . He nearly ran it into the ground , but I didn't care . As long as he loved us , nothing else mattered . For five years , I believed in the loving husband and devoted father he pretended to be . Looking back now , I can't believe how blind I was . The bar incident , his quick acceptance of the prenup , his constant devotion - it was all too perfect . Like a movie script , written just for me .
