Chapter 37 – Discoveries and Revelations
It was a quiet late afternoon at Kim Kardashian's house, where Khloé and her sisters gathered for an afternoon of coffee and conversation. The conversation started out casual, with laughter and discussions about work, but quickly turned to a topic that had been intriguing everyone: Jacob Ward's mysterious past.
Kendall was the first to bring up the subject, opening her laptop on the table.
"Khloé, that Jacob patch… Do you know what it really means?"
Khloé shrugged, trying to appear indifferent, but her curiosity was evident.
"He explained to me that he's from DEVGRU's Red Squadron. It's just a symbol of his squadron."
Kim frowned, interested.
"And you're not even more curious? Like… Why is this squadron so special?"
Kylie, who was browsing her phone, looked up.
"I looked it up. These squadrons are the most elite units of the Navy SEALs." Like, the highest level you can get.
Khloé sighed.
"Of course I was curious, but I respect his space. Jacob doesn't talk much about what he did."
Kourtney, with a smirk, suggested:
"Then let's do what we do best: investigate."
Kendall typed "Red Squadron DEVGRU" into Google, and immediately links to articles and discussions on forums like Reddit popped up. A few images of patches from other squadrons also appeared.
Kylie clicked on an article that listed historical operations attributed to Red Squadron. One of them caught everyone's attention.
"Wait a minute…" Kylie said, her eyes widening. "Red Squadron was the squadron that led the mission to capture and eliminate Bin Laden."
Everyone in the room stopped what they were doing, staring at the screen.
Kim leaned over her laptop.
"Are you saying that Khloé's boyfriend Jacob might have been on the mission that killed Bin Laden?"
Kourtney gave a wry smile.
"Well, he is Khloé's boyfriend. It makes sense that he would have such an impressive resume."
Khloé, though she tried to remain calm, felt her heart race. She had always known Jacob was amazing, but to be connected to one of the most iconic missions in modern history? It was surreal.
Kendall clicked on a link that led to a long thread on Reddit. There, users were discussing theories about the operators involved in the mission against Bin Laden. A blurry image caught her eye: it showed a group of men in uniform, all with their faces covered by black bars, but their bodies and equipment were visible.
"Look at this!" Kendall exclaimed, pointing to the screen.
Khloé leaned in to get a better look. Her eyes widened as she immediately recognized one of the men.
"That's Jacob… I'm sure. That's his body."
The sisters moved closer, examining the image in detail. The imposing physique, broad shoulders and characteristic posture left little doubt.
"That's him, Khloé," Kim confirmed. "That explains a lot."
Kylie, who had clicked on another topic, read aloud:
"Red Squadron operators are known for their precision and courage. Although their faces are protected, rumors indicate that many of those involved in the mission against Bin Laden received high decorations, such as Silver and Bronze Stars."
Kendall, still looking at the image, commented:
"That matches that medal board in his house. He must have received a Silver Star for that."
Khloé was thoughtful. Jacob had never mentioned Bin Laden directly, but some of his stories and comments now made more sense.
Back at Kim's house, Khloé was feeling a whirlwind of emotions. On one hand, she was proud of Jacob and what an incredible man he was. On the other, she felt an overwhelming curiosity to learn more about this part of his life.
"I always knew he was special, but this… This is on another level," she admitted to her sisters.
Kim put a hand on her shoulder.
"Khloé, you have to remember that this is something he might not want to talk about. He's been through things most of us can't even imagine."
Kourtney, ever the more practical, suggested,
"Maybe he's just waiting for the right moment to tell you."
Kylie joked,
"Or he's trying to keep you from freaking out when you find out he was dating a war hero."
Khloé laughed nervously, but she felt the weight of Kim and Kourtney's words. It was true: Jacob had been through things she would never fully understand, and maybe he kept these secrets for a reason.
When she got home that night, Khloé found Jacob relaxing on the couch, reading a book. He looked at her and smiled, but then he could tell there was something in his expression.
"Are you okay, honey?" he asked, closing the book and standing up to hug her.
Khloé hesitated for a moment, but decided not to press him. Instead, she hugged him and said, "Yeah, it's okay. I'm just thinking about how lucky I am to have you."
Jacob stroked her hair, his voice low and comforting. "I'm the lucky one here, Khloé."
In that moment, she decided that when Jacob was ready, he would tell her whatever he needed to tell her. Until then, she would respect his space and continue to admire the incredible man he was, with or without the black bars covering his past.
Chapter 38 – Quiet Revelations
It was a quiet night at Kim Kardashian's house, where Khloé, Kim, Kourtney, Kendall and Kylie decided to get together for a "home movie". The plan was simple, but it had a hidden intention: to find out if Jacob had really participated in the mission that eliminated Osama Bin Laden.
Khloé had suggested to Jacob that he join them to watch a movie, and he, without suspecting anything, accepted the invitation. When he arrived, the atmosphere was relaxed, with popcorn, wine and dim lights.
"Ready for a movie night, Jacob?" Kendall asked with a mischievous smile.
Jacob arched an eyebrow, noticing a different tone in the question, but didn't comment.
"Always. What's the movie?"
Khloé hid her anxiety and answered casually:
"Zero Dark Thirty. I thought it would be interesting."
Jacob gave a small smile, nodding.
"A classic. Let's see how Hollywood portrayed the mission."
As soon as the movie began, the sisters exchanged quick glances, eager to watch Jacob's reactions. He seemed relaxed, sitting on the couch next to Khloé, with his arm around her.
The first part of the movie showed the intelligence gathering and the routine of the CIA analysts. Jacob watched everything silently, occasionally nodding slightly, as if he were recognizing some details.
Kim, trying to sound casual, commented:
"It's interesting how they capture the behind-the-scenes of the operation, isn't it?"
Jacob calmly replied:
"Yes, it's pretty close to reality. Intelligence was the basis of everything."
This only increased the sisters' curiosity, but they held back, waiting for the most intense moments of the movie.
When the movie got to the mission planning part, showing the SEAL operators preparing for the attack, Jacob crossed his arms and remained silent, focused on the screen. The sisters noticed that he seemed more serious now, as if he were remembering something.
Kourtney, with her direct manner, tried to pull something out:
"It must be a lot of pressure to be part of something like that, right?"
Jacob answered in a neutral tone:
"Yes. The responsibility is immense. Every decision counts."
Khloé held his hand, feeling that the atmosphere had changed. She looked at her sisters, silently asking them not to pressure her anymore.
When the scene of the invasion of the compound began, the silence in the room was absolute. The images showed the operators moving in a coordinated manner, with precision and calm. Jacob watched with an indecipherable look, his eyes fixed on the screen.
Kim couldn't contain her curiosity.
"Is that really how it happens?"
Jacob leaned forward a little, as if he was choosing his words carefully.
"Some things were dramatized, but... yes, they captured the essence well." Kendall, biting her lip, asked the question they all wanted to ask, but in an indirect way:
"Have you ever done anything like this, Jacob?"
He looked at her for a moment, then turned his attention back to the movie.
"Missions like this are part of the job for teams like DEVGRU. I can't go into details."
The answer, although vague, made it clear that he was referring to personal experiences. Khloé squeezed his hand, trying to convey support.
When the movie ended, Jacob leaned back on the couch and let out a sigh.
"Good movie. They did a good job showing the sacrifice and dedication of these operations."
The sisters exchanged glances again, as if confirming something between themselves. Khloé, although still curious, decided not to press him any further.
Kim, however, couldn't hold her tongue.
"Jacob, be honest. You were there, weren't you?"
The silence that followed was palpable. Jacob looked at Kim, then at Khloé, and finally answered calmly:
"Some things I did in my time of service are not easy to share. But I can say that I always did my job to protect my country and my team."
The answer was enough for them. It wasn't an outright confirmation, but it wasn't a denial either.
When everyone started to disperse, Khloé and Jacob stayed behind. She looked at him, her eyes full of understanding.
"You know you can tell me anything, right?"
Jacob smiled softly and pulled her close.
"I know, Khloé. It's just that some things are better left in the past."
She nodded, realizing the weight he was carrying.
"It's okay. I just want you to know that I'm here for you, always."
He kissed her forehead and replied:
"That's all I need."
While Khloé and Jacob were talking, the other sisters were in the kitchen, arguing among themselves.
Kourtney crossed her arms.
"He basically confirmed it, he just didn't want to say the exact words."
Kim nodded.
"That makes sense. He's private, and honestly, I don't think we can even imagine what he's been through."
Kylie laughed.
"Well, at least now we know Khloé's boyfriend is a literate a hero." Kendall added:
"And it seems she found the right guy. He's discreet, respectful and clearly loves her."
They all agreed, realizing that Jacob was an extraordinary man in so many ways.
Later that night, as Khloé lay next to Jacob, she looked at him sleeping peacefully and felt grateful to have him in her life. Even with so many mysteries surrounding his past, she knew that the present was what mattered.
Jacob was not only an incredible man for his achievements, but also for how he made Khloé feel: safe, loved and respected. And that was all she needed.
Chapter 39 – A Night of Passion and Connection
The night was peaceful, with the house enveloped in a silence that only luxury and security could provide. Khloé and Jacob were in their bedroom, where the soft lighting of the yellow lights and the scent of aromatic candles created the perfect ambiance for another night of connection.
Jacob, lying in bed with a smile on his face, watched Khloé as she prepared for bed. She was wearing black lacy lingerie that hugged her curves perfectly, something she knew Jacob loved.
"You really know how to capture my full attention, Khloé," Jacob said, his voice husky with a tone of evident desire.
She smiled, slowly approaching the bed.
"Well, someone has to keep you interested."
Khloé climbed onto the bed and sat next to him, her eyes shining with a mixture of love and provocation. Jacob wasted no time, sliding his hand over the curve of her waist and down to her hip, where he gave her a light squeeze that made her gasp.
"Interested is an understatement," he whispered.
Khloé leaned in, letting her lips brush against his before pulling away slightly, just to tease him. Jacob, however, was not the type to take teasing lying down. He quickly pulled her closer, gripping her waist firmly as he captured her mouth in a deep kiss.
Khloé let out a low moan, surrendering to the way Jacob always seemed to dominate the situation with ease. Their kisses deepened, and Jacob gently turned her on the bed, positioning himself on top of her.
"You like teasing me, don't you?" he asked, the smile on his face as charming as it was predatory.
She responded with a challenging look.
"Maybe I'll like to see what you do with it." Jacob chuckled softly, his hand sliding down Khloé's back until it reached her bottom. Without warning, he gave a light but audible slap that made her moan and gasp slightly.
"Jacob!" she exclaimed, surprised but clearly loving it.
He just smiled.
"You started it. Now it's my turn."
Jacob continued to explore Khloé's body, alternating between passionate kisses and small teasing. With each slap he gave her bottom, Khloé responded with moans that mixed surprise and pleasure, her hands gripping the sheets as he completely dominated the situation.
"You know I love it when you do that," Khloé admitted, her voice full of desire.
Jacob leaned in, whispering in her ear,
"I know exactly what you like, Khloé."
She bit her lip, surrendering to the control Jacob had over her. He was intense, but at the same time he knew exactly how to make her feel safe and adored. His every move seemed to be made with care and intention, leaving her completely surrendered to him.
After a night full of passion, the two finally lay together, breathing heavily. Jacob pulled Khloé closer, wrapping his arms around her as she rested her head on his chest.
"You always know how to surprise me, Jacob," Khloé said, tracing soft circles on his chest with her fingers.
He smiled, kissing the top of her head.
"And I always will. You deserve every moment of attention and love I can give."
Khloé looked up at him, her eyes shining with affection.
"I love you, Jacob."
He cupped her face, looking directly into her eyes.
"I love you too, Khloé. And I promise to keep surprising you, in every way possible."
As Jacob fell asleep, Khloé lay awake for a few minutes, watching him. She thought about how her life had changed since he had entered her. Jacob was everything she had ever wanted in a man: strong, protective, passionate, and completely devoted to her and her family.
She knew his past was full of mystery and sacrifice, but that only made him more special. Jacob not only loved her, but he also made her feel more alive and wanted than ever before.
With a soft smile, Khloé closed her eyes, falling asleep in the arms of the man she knew was the love of her life.
