"Scar..!" Jerlina looked at Scarlett. "What is it?" Scarlett sat beside Jerlina. "I told you not to interact with Tara. What did she say? And what did that hothead yell? The whole office shook with his roar." "He... it's not his fault... It's..." Jerlina sat hugging her knees. "Look at you taking his side!" Scarlett smiled and patted her back. "So what bothers you?" "Scar, what will happen if Emma reveals my past relationship with Gerard to everyone? Won't the townsfolk stone me to death?"…-

Tara didn't know what to think of Jerlina. She was emotional but in the face of the woman sitting in front of her, she saw no ripples. It was like that woman wasn't even scared of her arrival and it hurt her. "We were... I thought I had a chance, but... he..." Back then, she saw how much Jeremy wanted to improve the lives of the people here and that's why she fell in love with him. They met with a misunderstanding and Jeremy was very wild back then. She hated him, but slowly her hate turned to…

I can see she is trying to make me believe she has something with Jeremy but is she realizing she is forcing a kiss on Jeremy? Jeremy – the leader of a gang, who can smash human skulls? Jerlina gulped seeing Jeremy's jaws clenching with fury. Tara tried to pull him closer to her lips but she couldn't. Having failed, she tried to get closer to his lips but Jeremy held her wrists. Oh, please don't snap her wrists, Jeremy! That's going to be a lawsuit! "Joel!" Jerlina walked closer with her…

"That's Duke when he was a puppy..." Jerlina's heart almost jumped out of her chest hearing Jeremy's voice right by her ear. She hadn't realized that he was standing behind her. Or maybe she stared at that picture for too long. His hand reached and grabbed the photograph. "Isn't he cute here..?" he chuckled gently. "He's my lucky charm." Only after he rescued this dog from an addict, he met Jerlina and his life changed after that. And that's why he considered him as his lucky charm. And…

Jeremy, overwhelmed by his emotions and the immense high given by her feminine scent wafting into his senses, got closer to her. His arms gently lifted her close to him and his lips wanted to unite with hers. "No," she said and her eyes widened. The next thing he felt was her cold fingertips on his lips and even that coldness gave him an odd warmth all over her body. But he knew she is resisting and he decided not to go through with his desires. But before he lowered her down, she jumped from his…

When Jerlina woke up, she felt the gentle breeze on her face. She was still sitting in the car, but they have already reached home. Did he leave me be because I was asleep? He could have woken me up rather than leave me in the car... She yawned and started to unbuckle her seatbelt, but paused hearing the slight murmur the wind carried. It seemed like Jeremy and Charlie were conversing about something serious. She decided not to eavesdrop, but when she heard her name, she decided to listen. Her…

Scarlett stood behind Jerlina with her hands folded. She knew why Emma was here. Since Jeremy mentioned Jerlina's wedding dress, she's here to know the price. And just like she predicted, Emma started to talk. "So you were here to get a wedding dress, Jerlina? You could have asked me to join you. So did you take a picture? How many dresses did you choose? What color?" Emma went on. "I got one dress and the wedding's just a week away. You can see it then," Jerlina answered plainly and Emma clenched…

Jerlina looked at Jeremy and he seemed serious and was ready to leave as if he was a king giving orders. You're not the King here! Emma had a pleased smile and Martha had a victorious smile. But looking at Jerlina Martha was confused as to why she was allowed there. Jerina didn't want to care about Martha. She turned to look at the boss of the boutique and she had an unimpressed look. Of course, she wouldn't like outsiders getting involved with her staff. She wanted to speak, but for some reason,…

Jerlina saw Martha's face getting flustered. "Tha- He didn't believe your lies, of course! He said he- he was always careful – very- and even if you got pregnant it can't-" with a stutter Martha spoke and Jerlina fisted her hands. "Then why are you here talking to me, liar!" Jerlina smiled. "I can see you're lying. Now get lost," she turned to leave. She didn't want to interact with that lying woman. "You're showing your lowly birth by the words you use," Martha smirked. "You can try but you'll…

Jerlina was silent all the way to the store. After lunch, Scarlett with great excitement came to her and asked her to go with her to get a wedding dress. Jerlina was hesitant at first, but Scarlett explained that it is important. Jerlina had to agree. For her sake and the sake of other innocents, she has to go through the wedding. She didn't want to die and she especially didn't want others to get killed getting mistaken for her. If being Jeremy's wife can protect her, why refuse that offer? Yeah,…
