In a fraction of a second, a dozen more gunshot sounds followed. "Noooo! Jeryl!" Jeremy shouted and pulled Jerlina closer to his chest. Covering her ears, he whispered, "Don't look!" "Don't look. It's okay…" he hugged her. *Tic* In front of him, the gun Gerard held in his hand fell on the ground with the muzzle cold. That was followed by Gerard kneeling on the ground. His back should have been punctured with at least half a dozen bullets has lodged in his torso and one bullet even…-

Jeremy started shooting at the guy he noticed and Jerlina sat by his feet without moving an inch. There might be others and she could take a chance and run to the armored jeep those Agent Smith followed her with, but she trusted Jeremy more. With him knowing that she is pregnant, she knew that he would give his all to protect her. Gerard scurried to the rock holding his gun not minding the wave of bullets flowing from everywhere. Maybe everyone was concentrating on the shooters in the higher plane,…

Jerlina looked at Jeremy and in the faint moonshine, she saw her image reflecting in his eyes. The scent of spring, the whispering breeze, and the chirps of crickets gave a peaceful solitude for them to express their heart. 'No one?' he asked and Jerlina's eyes clouded. "I do," she said holding his cheek. "I trust you." Jeremy's heart burst with joy and he kissed her. His hand holding her cheek traveled down and ended up on her abdomen. Of course she would trust me… I knew it! Jerlina…

"Jeryl?" Jeremy placed the gun back in his belt and walked towards her. Placing his hand on her shoulder he observed the guys with her. "I told you not to-" "I wanted to watch the moon here," Jerlina interjected Jeremy who was glaring at those men. She was not very pleased that he is not looking at her and is concentrating on those guys. Jeremy was a little angry at her wandering around with the men arranged by Jonathan Erling even after he asked her to stay in Patrick's house today. But hearing…

Jerlina called Jeremy after waiting for an hour. She couldn't rest somehow as she felt uneasy in her heart. "Are you okay?" Jerlina asked as his voice was not fine. "I am fine…" he said with a sigh. "What happened with Emma?" Jerlina asked. She worried if something happened to Emma. Yes, she worried. After thinking about what she did out of rage the previous day, she was not feeling guilty no matter how much she thought about it. But she worried. She still isn't sure about Jeremy's feelings…

No, she won't leave me. She is not going to leave me when she is pregnant with my child. But if she stays with me for the baby… That's not going to make me happy, is it? 'Think of me every second, Joel.' The words she spoke when he talked to her on the phone suddenly echoed in his ears. Her smile, the way she served him food last night, her pout, Patrick's words… It all snapped him to reality. Ugh! What am I even thinking! He wanted to bang his head. His wife loves him. He knows that.…

"She hit herself in her stomach and miscarried her child," Gerard laughed more. "She's bleeding like crazy now. The doctors are trying to save her life." Jeremy fisted his hands closing his eyes. Gerard's laugh echoed in the halls of the hospital. Miscarried..? So she killed her baby? Bleeding? Jeremy tried to find some sort of pity in his heart for his sister but he couldn't find any. All he could see in his mind as he closed his eyes was Jerlina's face. That day as he was chased around by…

After meeting with Gerard, Jeremy went to the corporate office in Port City. Jerlina didn't come to the office as she wanted to rest. He was fine with it since he is making it seem like they are in the midst of a fight. Everyone's under the impression that Jerlina refused to return with him and they are separated. Gerard is reliably informed of this and after his talk with Gerard, he thinks that he has a chance with Jerlina. Which is exactly how Gerard would go hard against Emma. Yes, he's being a…

Gerard had a pleased smile as he saw the defeated figure in front of him. Even though Jeremy didn't say a word, Gerard could understand everything. He heard that Jerlina left Jeremy and is currently staying in her uncle's house. Honestly, is that even surprising? She is a billionaire. Why would she still stay with his thug? His plaid shirt is buttoned wrong and his brown hair is disheveled. He stank of cheap beer and heartbreak. He was glad he came directly to this stinky bar than going home first.…

Jerlina wanted to slam the door shut in Jeremy's face but she held back considering this is not her house. Her uncle is thinking of her very highly and she won't break his trust by acting unruly in his house.
