Chapter 7: Chapter 19-20-21
Chapter 19 – Blurred Love
It was a sunny morning at Khloé's house. She was sitting on the couch, with her phone in her hand, looking at the countless photos she had taken with Jacob over the past few days. They were getting more and more connected, and she felt she needed to share her happiness with the world, but discreetly, since Jacob still preferred to keep his privacy, at least for now.
Jacob was in the kitchen, preparing breakfast as he always did, while Khloé watched him with a smile on her face. He seemed so comfortable there, in her house, as if he had always been part of her life.
"Jacob?" she called, leaning on the couch so he could hear her.
"Yes?" he answered without taking his eyes off the frying pan.
"I was thinking of posting something about us. Nothing that would expose you completely, of course. Just something that shows how happy I am. What do you think?"
Jacob turned around, drying his hands on a dish towel. He had a calm but thoughtful expression.
"I don't see a problem, as long as you don't show my face yet. I want this to happen at the right time, you know?"
Khloé nodded. "I understand. And I promise it will be discreet."
Jacob smiled, approaching her and kissing her on the forehead. "I know you'll do this the right way."
After breakfast, Khloé went upstairs to her room with her phone in hand. She opened her photo gallery and began searching for the perfect image. Finally, she found one taken the night before: the two of them were holding hands, she wearing a black sheath dress and he wearing a blue dress shirt that highlighted his impressive physique. Although Jacob was looking at her in the photo, his face was not fully visible due to the angle.
She used an app to further blur his face, ensuring that no one could identify him.
As she adjusted the filters and caption, True walked into the room, holding a drawing.
"What are you doing, Mommy?" — The little girl asked, curious.
— I'm choosing a photo to post on Instagram. It's a picture of me and Jacob.
True smiled. — He's cool. I like him.
Khloé smiled, stroking her daughter's hair. — Me too, my love.
After a few minutes, she finally chose the perfect caption: "Sometimes the love of your life shows up when you least expect it. ❤️"
As soon as the post went live, Khloé put her phone aside, ready to disconnect for a while. But it didn't take long for the notifications to start arriving. Comments and likes flooded the post, with fans, friends and family speculating about who the mystery man by her side could be.
Kim was the first to send a message in the sisters' group:
Kim: "Finally posted something! And what's all this mystery?!"
Kourtney: "I saw it. I don't know why I'm blurring it out. We've met him and we know he's amazing."
Kendall: "Jacob is a great catch. I'm sure he's doing the right thing by keeping it private for now."
Khloé laughed off the messages and replied in the group:
Khloé: "Jacob just wants to bide his time. He's not used to all this exposure yet. I trust him, and that's all that matters."
Later, while Khloé was out in the garden enjoying the sunshine, her mother, Kris Jenner, showed up for a surprise visit.
"Khloé!" Kris said, approaching with her sunglasses on and a designer bag in hand. "I saw your post. It was classy, but people are dying of curiosity!"
Khloé laughed and hugged her mother. "I knew it would cause a stir."
Kris sat down next to her, making herself comfortable. "And how did Jacob react?"
— He was fine. In fact, he even approved, as long as his face wasn't visible.
Kris smiled, but there was a glint of curiosity in her eyes. — I'm proud of how you're handling this. Jacob seems like a wonderful man, and it's good to see you so happy.
Khloé nodded, thrilled. — He is. And honestly, I don't mind waiting for him to take his time. The important thing is that we're okay.
Later that night, Jacob was sitting on the couch, while Khloé snuggled up next to him, her legs draped over his. Khloé's phone was still buzzing with notifications.
"The post was a hit," she said, showing Jacob some of the comments.
He glanced at the screen, taking it all in with a slight smile. "Looks like you got people talking."
"They always do," Khloé replied, laughing. "But I think the buzz will die down in a few days."
Jacob leaned down to kiss her softly on the lips. "I don't care what they say, as long as you're happy."
She smiled, touching his face. "I am. More than I've ever been." J
acob pulled her closer, and they held each other in silence, enjoying the moment. For them, the outside world could wait; what really mattered was right here, between them.
The sun was shining brightly that morning, and Khloé Kardashian's house was filled with laughter and energy. True ran around the living room with a doll in her hands, while Tatum, still in her arms, was calmer, watching everything curiously. Jacob, with his quiet charisma, was standing in the kitchen, helping Khloé prepare breakfast.
"Jacob, do you know how to make dinosaur pancakes?" True asked, hopping on her tiptoes to reach the counter.
Jacob bent down to her level, smiling warmly. "Dinosaur pancakes? I guess I could try. But I need an expert to teach me."
True laughed excitedly and pointed to a dinosaur-shaped mold on the counter. "I have this! You put the batter in here and flip it. It's easy!"
"Oh, I see." Jacob took the mold and looked at Khloé with an amused expression. "We're under the supervision of a professional."
Khloé laughed as she poured juice into glasses. — Well, if you can impress True, you'll earn extra points today.
Jacob devoted himself to the pancakes, with True at his side, giving precise instructions. Each time he got a shape right, True cheered and squealed.
"That's the brontosaurus!" she said, pointing to the perfect pancake.
"And a brontosaurus needs lots of chocolate sauce, right?" Jacob asked, with a conspiratorial smile.
True nodded vigorously. "Yes!"
Khloé, watching the interaction, felt her heart warm. Jacob had a natural way with children, something she had never experienced in her previous relationships. He not only engaged, but seemed genuinely happy to be a part of their lives.
When they finally sat down to eat, True was beaming with her plate full of dinosaur pancakes, while Tatum was delighted with the bite-sized pieces Jacob had prepared for him.
"Jacob, you are the best at pancakes!" — True said, her mouth full.
"Well, I had the best teacher," he replied, winking at her.
After breakfast, the group went to the backyard, where True insisted that everyone participate in a game of tag.
"Mommy, you're the tagger!" True said, running away with a laugh.
"Of course I am. And I'm going to catch all of you!" Khloé replied, taking off her shoes to run across the grass.
Jacob held Tatum in his arms, but that didn't stop him from participating. He ran slowly, making Tatum laugh with every move.
"Jacob, you have to run faster!" True yelled, as he pretended to trip.
"I'm trying, but this little one is heavy!" he said, throwing Tatum up in the air and catching him again, causing more laughter.
Khloé finally managed to catch True, tickling the little girl until she gave in.
"You got me!" True said, panting with laughter.
"Of course you do. No one escapes Mommy." Khloé replied, laughing along.
After all that fun, they sat on the deck, with Jacob holding Tatum in one arm while True rested next to Khloé.
"Jacob, did you play like this when you were little?" True asked curiously.
Jacob smiled, looking at her. "Yes, I did. But my toys were very different. I grew up in the country, so I spent a lot of time outdoors. I climbed trees, I fished…"
True's eyes widened. "You fished? That's so cool!"
"Maybe someday we can go together." Jacob said, making True jump with excitement.
Khloé watched the interaction with admiration. Jacob wasn't just a part of their lives; he was creating moments that the children would never forget.
After lunch, Tatum began to get sleepy, rubbing his eyes as he lay in Jacob's lap.
"I think he's ready for his nap," Jacob said, carefully standing up.
"You can put him in his room if you want," Khloé said.
Jacob carried Tatum upstairs, rocking him gently as he sang a soft song. Khloé stayed in the living room, watching True draw, but couldn't help but smile when she heard Jacob's deep voice echoing softly through the house.
When he came back down, Khloé was waiting for him at the bottom of the stairs.
"You're amazing, you know that?" she said, hugging him.
Jacob kissed the top of her head. "I'm just trying to be the best I can be for you and your kids."
The rest of the day was filled with simple, happy moments: watching children's movies, building castles out of blocks, and finally ending the day with a leisurely dinner.
While the children slept, Khloé and Jacob were on the couch, enjoying the peaceful night.
"Today was perfect," she said, looking at him with sparkling eyes.
"It was," Jacob agreed, holding her hand. "And I want every day with you to be like that, full of laughter and love."
Khloé smiled, leaning in to kiss him.
"I think you can do that."
And with those words, Khloé realized that she had not only found a partner for herself, but someone who truly loved and cared for her family.
Chapter 21 – Owning Up to Love
It was a quiet day at Khloé and Jacob's house. They were on the porch, enjoying the soft morning sun while True played with Tatum in the backyard. Khloé, with her phone in her hand, was absentmindedly scrolling through her Instagram feed. She had posted several photos in the past few days, but she was always careful to respect Jacob's request that she keep her identity off social media.
Jacob, sitting next to her, held a cup of coffee and watched the children with a smile. He noticed Khloé's thoughtful look and asked:
"What are you thinking about?"
She turned her face to him, sighing. "I was just thinking about how happy I am with you and how much I would like to share that with the world."
Jacob was silent for a moment, pondering her words. He knew that Khloé was a public figure and that keeping their relationship a secret was an effort that required patience on both sides.
"Maybe it's time, then." — He finally said, breaking the silence.
Khloé's eyes widened. — Are you serious?
He shrugged, with a calm smile. — Why not? People will find out anyway. And honestly, I don't see a problem. If anyone investigates, all they'll find is my career in the SEALs and DEVGRU. I have nothing to hide.
Khloé smiled broadly and threw herself into his arms. — You have no idea how much this means to me!
Jacob laughed, hugging her back. — Just promise we'll choose a good photo. I want to look at least presentable.
After breakfast, Khloé and Jacob sat together on the couch, scrolling through the photo gallery on her phone. There were dozens of options: photos of them at home, moments captured on trips, and even a few candid selfies.
"What about this one?" Khloé asked, showing him a photo taken on a walk in the park.
"I like this one." — Jacob said, analyzing the picture. — But what about the one from dinner last week? You looked stunning in that dress.
Khloé laughed, rolling her eyes. — Of course you choose the one where I'm all dressed up.
After a few minutes of debating, they decided on a photo taken recently on Jacob's porch. In the picture, Khloé was sitting on his lap, both of them smiling genuinely for the camera. The sunset light illuminated the scene, making the moment even more special.
Khloé carefully typed the caption:
"When the heart finds the right place, everything makes sense. ❤️ #Love #Gratitude"
She looked at Jacob before pressing the post button. — Ready for this?
He nodded, with a calm smile. — Let's go.
With one tap, the photo was published. Khloé put her phone aside, feeling a mix of anxiety and excitement.
"What now?" Jacob asked, raising an eyebrow.
— Now we wait. — She said, biting her lip.
It didn't take long for the notifications to start popping up. Comments from fans, friends and family flooded the post. Some messages were of surprise, others of support, but all shared the same tone of curiosity about who the man by Khloé's side was.
Kim was the first to send a message in the sisters' group:
Kim: "Finally! He's official. He's hot, Khloé. Good job."
Kourtney: "I knew this moment would come. You guys make a beautiful couple."
Kendall: "He looks so happy. That's what matters. I'm so happy for you!"
Khloé responded in the group with a heart emoji and a simple message:
"Thank you, girls. He's amazing, isn't he?"
In the following hours, the photo of Khloé and Jacob was featured on websites and social networks. Headlines like "Khloé Kardashian Reveals New Love" and "Who Is Mysterious Jacob Ward?" took over the internet.
While there was speculation about Jacob's identity, the public quickly learned about his military career. This created an outpouring of respect and admiration, with many praising Khloé for being with someone who had dedicated his life to serving his country.
Later that night, as Khloé and Jacob lay on the couch watching a movie, she looked at him with a satisfied smile.
"I think the world approves of you," she said, showing him some positive messages she had received.
Jacob shook his head, laughing. "I'm relieved. For a moment, I thought they were going to dig deeper than they should."
"You're a hero, Jacob. People need to know how amazing you are."
He took her hand, intertwining their fingers. "The important thing is that you know. The rest is just noise."
Khloé leaned in to kiss him, feeling the weight of the world lift away. For the first time, she was completely safe and happy with someone who made her feel loved and valued.
"I love you, Jacob."
"And I love you, Khloé."
In that moment, nothing else mattered. They were together, and that was all they needed.
