"I'll see you soon, great-grandpa," Jerlina said holding Jonathan's hand. She could see the old man's eyes were red and she could see that he does not want her to leave. But she cannot stay here forever. "I'll call you every other day," she promised. She was going to say every weekend but before she knew it she was telling him every other day. "I'll eagerly wait for your call then," Jonathan brightened up. "I'll call you right on time so you don't have to wait," Jerlina made sure to explain…-

"Did you hear?" Jerlina ran to Jeremy. She was packing their clothes, and that's when she received the call from Scarlett. "What is it? Be careful!" Jeremy caught her as she almost tripped on the rug. "Mark… he killed himself," her hands were shaking and her voice trembled. "I don't understand why he jumped into the river. Scar told me that he wasn't drunk and that there seemed to be no signs of struggle…" "He did?" Jeremy was shocked by the news. He hugged Jerlina who seemed to be more…

Mark sighed as he remembered the past. He knew… he knew he cannot suit that delicate flower who was just a year younger than him. People called her names just because she was different than them. Idiot, retard, and others… No one found her beautiful; except him. And that was enough for her too. And oh, only he knew how kind she is… And how much she loved him and how much he loved her. Mack… that's what she called him. She couldn't pronounce the 'r' in his name and he was always Mack…

Jerlina shrugged and turned to look at Jeremy with a burst of miffed laughter. "Isn't that your sister?" Alexander asked Jeremy. "I wanted to ask you why she was wearing the bride's color. I heard that it is not allowed?" he looked at Portia and Portia nodded. "…I noticed that too. But it was a different shade of white so I let it pass. And she…" Portia hesitated for a moment. But Samuel placed his hand on her back. "There are shades of white?" he asked with a clueless look. "It's white."…

*Cough* Jerlina was stunned to hear the familiar sound and turned behind her to see Alexander entering the room. Jerlina felt bad for not remembering that Alexander is there at first. Rose was walking a step behind him and she seemed to be in a pretty good mood. Has everything worked out in between them? Did Alexander agree to the wedding? Aww… I am so happy!! "Grandpa!" She smiled and was about to stand up seeing Alexander but Jeremy pulled her hand. As Jerlina wondered why he is stopping…

"Well, you look beautiful," Jeremy admired Jerlina as she stepped out from the closet. "I do?" Jerlina couldn't hide her smile. She didn't think of herself as a very beautiful woman by any means. She had a lot of insecurities and doubts. She was told that she is beautiful by a lot of people. But she never took it to heart. But every time Jeremy tells her that she is beautiful, for some reason she started to believe it. She didn't know how his words carry more weight than others. "Choose me a…

"Why would I care about…" With a slight whimper, she paused. "What are you doing?" she tried to hold his hand that tried to unzip her dress. "Nothing…" his voice was calm with a tinge of playfulness. As she struggled, he stopped his pursuit to undress her. Just as Jerlina was about to relax, his hands glazed over her chest and started to knead on her chest. "Joel…" Jerlina said swallowing her moan. "Hmm," his warm breath fell on her neck as he kissed her below the ear making her let out a…

Jerlina hugged him closer as he talked about the day Dave died. Jeremy was trembling and she didn't know if it was because he was angry or crying. Her hold on him tightened and with trembling voice, he told her about the gruesome details of Dave's death. It seemed like Dave was tortured by Viper and was thrown out to die on his own. Jeremy found him but by then it was already late. "I was in the brink of starting a war back then…" Jeremy told her and she took in a deep breath. "But it would have…

After a while, he looked up and she smiled. With his eyes half-closed, he climbed up and pressed his cheek on her chest as his hands wrapped around her waist. Jerlina hugged him around his neck. She find this act of his very cute. There were a lot of times when he offered her his chest to lean on and for her to do the same for him – it made her happy. She wouldn't lie. She was a little pissed that he acted mad at her when she did nothing. "Is he dead?" she asked and she couldn't help but take a…

"I am sorry" Jerlina added seeing the twinge of disappointment on Samuel's face. Pressing his lips Samuel shrugged hiding his disappointment. His father didn't ask him to ask her but he thought it would be nice to have them here. But it seems like they already have plans. Next year, maybe..? Jerlina turned to look at the entrance of the tunnel. "Ah," Jerlina muttered seeing Jeremy emerging out and she didn't have to think to walk towards him. Her pace quickened and her lips curved to a smile…
