"Jerlina! Jerlina!" Emma slammed the table with her fisted hand. Her entire face twitched and her reddened eyes widened. "Is that all you care about? What is so special about her?" Emma shouted and stood up. Jeremy wondered if she would leave but Emma walked to the balcony. It was a big balcony that is twenty feet wide. There used to be nothing there before but now his wife brought some planters with some flowering plants. She wanted him to have something "fresh" to look at. He gritted his teeth…-

"Hmpf!" Jeremy scoffed. "A gang lord?" he opened his drawer and took out a cigar. "You weren't very mindful that I was a gang lord when you eagerly asked for my black card…" he looked at her and cut the tip of the cigar with a meaningful glance. He didn't see an ounce of guilt on Emma's face. As he expected. "People grow up, Jerry. I will never deny that I accepted your gifts before… But I've learned a lot…" Emma clutched the phone to her chest, with the lens still pointing at Jeremy. Jeremy…

Sitting in the interrogation room, Jeremy ran his fingers through his hair with his head bowed. He was told that he would be getting recorded by the cops. He cannot appear too relieved to hear about his sister's death. He could not help but shake his legs as he closed his eyes. He wondered if Jerlina has asked for a lawyer. He knew that she could handle it as she's smart, even smarter than he. Or it doesn't matter what she says. She won't get into trouble anyways. After all, she is not involved in…

The cops covered Jerlina immediately. The shooter was restrained by the other cops and a commotion ensued. He was still cussing at her saying that she doesn't deserve to live and stuff like that. Maybe because she's gotten used to such situations already, or maybe because she was sure that this is staged, she didn't feel scared. Also, her mind was entirely occupied with Jeremy. And she wanted to get inside and so when the cops led her inside, she happily went inside. The police used this as a chance to…

Jerlina found something snap inside her head as she read that news. Every article was not very detailed and was very ambiguous probably because the entire details aren't officially released yet. But the news would imply that Emma is dead and that Joel is responsible for her death. Emma is dead? Dead? Seriously? And Joel... Why would he even hurt his sister? She dialled Jeremy but he wasn't answering. She wanted to panic; she wanted to worry; she wanted to breakdown. The tips of her fingers…

Emma smirked and threw the phone on the seat and sat up fixing her hair. Staying with her knees to her chest is making her bleeding worse. The doctors refused to discharge her and urged her to take a rest but she has a lot of plots to orchestrate. She's gotten the help of Amanda Prescott, well, she refused to help once she learned that she is going against Jerlina, but that didn't stop her. She used Amanda's connection and scoured a media crew. She intends to hurt Jerlina but if Jerlina is hiding,…

Jerlina sat by the balcony and took care of the rose planter. She made sure there is no dust on a single leaf of the rose and that the bush is healthy. Sitting on the swing, she watched the planter. It's been a while since she spent time staring at the rose planter. "I love you, baby… I would always love you…" she muttered tracing her finger over a leaf. Her eyes clouded thinking of this baby that lost its chance to see the wonders of the world because of the ill-intent of an evil-minded woman…

"What are you going here?" Bobby walked up to Emma and he almost held her throat. As much as Bobby wanted to question Scarlett, he was more inclined to know the purpose Emma was there in the hospital his wife visits. He didn't think it was a coincidence. Emma took a step back and her eyes widened and her hands trembled with fear. She saw the murderous intent on Bobby's face and looked around. She's heard that Gerard is dead; that he was killed by that lumberjack's men last night. But she still…

Jeremy said nothing and hugged her. Sometimes silence would help a lot than words. He still didn't understand if it is one of those times. Jerlina closed her eyes and leaned on Jeremy's chest. Every time she closed her eyes she remembered the face of Gerard before he was hit by the first bullet. She played it again and again in her mind. And at one point, she was confused and got unsure that if what she saw is what happened exactly. Leaning on his strong chest gave her warmth. In that unsure seas she…

He walked behind her after locking the door. The shepsky dogs are let out and he asked for some of his men to guard his home for the night. He might have dissolved the gang but that doesn't mean his men won't listen to him anymore. They'll come for him if he asks for help. After settling everything, he walked to their bedroom. She was not in the bedroom and so he walked to the bathroom where the sound of flowing water was heard. The tub sounded full and he walked in a hurry. Jerlina was standing…
