Three hours earlier... Jerlina, sitting on the toilet seat stared at the four strips she had in her hand. She did have some doubts and that is why she brought pregnancy testing kits. Yes, she got her periods. But it wasn't like her regular periods. There was only spotting and she felt different. Combined with that, she felt light-headed in the mornings and she gets very nauseated lately. She used to love her husband's fried eggs but these days, even looking at them is making her want to throw up.…-

Jeremy was so sure of his love and the love she has for him. That is part of the reason he wanted her to speak about Emma. That way he could ask about her meeting with that guy the other day. What is making him so sure that she will get together with him? He wanted to know. She still hasn't buried her baby in his home as she said. Yes, she gave a valid reason, but is it even the reason? Yes, she does not lie when she says that she loves him. But why am I still insecure? All he used to do…

When they reached Venice, they checked in the hotel and Jeremy settled in the luggage. Jerlina walked to the balcony. They've arrived very early in the morning and the sun is yet to rise. Fog was rising from the canals that reflected the street lights rather bluntly. Hugging herself, Jerlina watched around. Some early birds were already up and other than that there was no one around. "How are you feeling, Jeryl?" Jeremy walked to her. "You can rest for an hour or two if you want. Or do you want to…

"Sky diving?" Jerlina widened her eyes. She knew for sure that he has booked a hotel in Venice and Paris. So rather than a romantic gondola ride in the canals of Venice or a romantic candle-lit dinner in some amazing French restaurant, he's going to make me jump to my death? Is he bored with me already? "You don't want to?" he asked raising his eyebrows. "No!" she sat. She now questioned his motives to bring her on this tour."You want to kill me, right?" She held her head. Maybe because she…

Gordon stayed in their home for a day and Jerlina found him getting amused by little things. She showed him around the woods behind the manor and they visited Jeremy's and her companies. He was very pleased with it all. Not to mention, Jerlina did ask Shaun to design a personalized paperweight for? Jonathan. Apparently, his birthday is coming soon and Jerlina asked Gordon's opinion and found a suitable one for Jonathan. The day Gordon was about to leave, Jerlina noticed that he was thinking deeply…

The next day, Gordon wanted to visit Jeremy's mother and Jerlina took him to the clinic. Gordon was visibly impressed seeing different kinds of people getting benefitted from there. With more employees hired, they planned on doing some renovations and expansion to add more departments like cardiology and neurology to help the vulnerable. And they are looking for places to start a rehabilitation center. The drug trade has been abolished and that leaves a lot of addicts who would be suffering and…

Emma stared at the back of Jerlina and she could only cry in her heart. She went through a lot and she still has eight more months to get a glimpse of a single billion but this b*tch got ninety-six billion just like that? Why? How? She couldn't understand how she makes everyone love her. People just do what she wants and she struts away like a proud peacock. And she came here to brag to me! Well, she might not show it but she should be jealous that I got pregnant! But she is so cunning! She…

"We congratulated her and that's enough," Jeremy said waving his hand at the group of stunned women. "They came here to celebrate and they didn't inform you. They didn't want to include you like family. Leave them be. Don't be a saint," he bent and kissed her right to the amazement of everyone around. "Lovely wife, just think about your true family! Don't care about others!" he pinched her cheek slightly. Uh… I was the one thinking about my great-grandpa while you… Ugh! Whatever! "Yes,…

Jerlina stopped and turned. She knew Emma will be stopped by the bodyguards before she even gets five feet near her. And they'd be careful not to break any laws. And even if they break any laws, will they be held responsible? In the end, it should be up to Emma to protect herself. Jerlina didn't have many hopes but was surprised to see Emma stopping with her hand over her abdomen as the bodyguards stood with their hands folded against their chests, covering Jerlina. Jerlina peeked through their…

"What are you doing here?" Emma asked. This time, she didn't even pretend to smile. Gerard's mother and Emma's mother were with them and Jerlina didn't want to engage with them. Gordon stood silently behind Jerlina and his bodyguards were keeping their distance. "Nothing," Jerlina shrugged and turned. She received a phone notification and Jerlina checked to see it was Jeremy. He said his work is finished and asked her where she was because he wanted to join her. Jerlina sent him the location of…
