Jeremy deliberated if he should go and bring her back to have his talk. He wanted to know what they are talking about. As he was about to turn to sneak to the garden, sudden darkness rose in front of him and he almost punched the dark head that popped up. "Whatcha doin', Jerry?" Even after knowing it's Scarlett, he wanted to punch that grinning face. "She is interested in someone very much," She smiled and he pulled down the window. But Scarlett was quick to stop him by holding the window.…-

"Gerard... It might be hard to fathom, but the timing she says this... Are you sure she is not lying? And is that even your child..." Seeing his glare, she gulped. "So it is your child? How did this-?Did you keep on meeting her after-" "We lost our baby, mom," Gerard began to shake leaning in her shoulder and she sighed in relief. Thank God it got solved by itself! She was relieved but her son's pain hurt her. "The day of my wedding she had a miscarriage. And that b*tch Emma hid it from me…

Jerlina hesitated to get down since she was embarrassed to face Jeremy and also she was feeling nauseated. But then, she had promised to cook breakfast every morning and he might be expecting her to prepare breakfast. She decided to cook, but when she got down, she was welcomed with a divine fragrance. "You started cooking already?" she asked and Jeremy turned at her with a stern look. He was not angry at her a lot because he had one of the best nights last night. But he was a little angry that she…

In the middle of the night, Jerlina felt very thirsty and woke up. She was stunned to see Jeremy lying beside her and she was cuddling him. With a gasp, she sat up and patted herself. She was relieved to know she wasn't hurting anywhere and she was fully clothed. She gently poked his cheek and he was in a deep sleep. He didn't even realize it when she got up. Jerlina got down from the bed and quenched her thirst. Her head hurt very much and she took some pills from the first aid box. She checked the…

"I will never forgive Emma ..." Jerlina spoke in a low voice and her voice made Jeremy a bit calm. During her teen years, Emma made her live in fear, and even now she still isn't letting her off. Even Gerard lied to her together with Emma. They knew each other for a long time and Gerard hid it from her. It was then Jerlina realized that even before she met TJ in the pub, Emma won't stop talking about her brother who is a local thug. "Why?" he asked. "You're not?" she asked back. "She ruined…

Jerlina lowered her eyes and looked away. Jeremy held her closer fearing she might run away. He thought she sobered up and his heart raced thinking about what he just did. I confessed! "We..." her breath tickled his neck as she was nestling there. "Us... it's not... " "We are not possible?" he asked. He didn't want to look at her face in case she is sober. "It's..." she struggled to say the words. "that day... I don't think I can forget..." Jeremy rested his chin on the crown of her head and…

But then it immediately went away as he never told Emma that he likes Jerlina. Had she known that her brother likes her friend, she'd be supportive and not let her petty vengeance get the best of her. But... Jeremy recalled Mark's words. If the boy who was with Emma that day was Gerard, why did the both of them pretend to not know each other in front of him? Jeremy had an impression that the boy had powerful connections and that's why Jeremiah Harrison made sure he doesn't find out his name. And…

"Jer- stop..." He tried to speak but she didn't stop and he lost the will to struggle. He slumped on the bed with a thud. His blood started rushing towards his lower abdomen and his hands were itching to hold her. "Shush, Jerry... I am applying medicine for your ouchies..." she straddled on his thighs and bent over him and continued licking his lips. He let her be and reveled in the sweet sensations of her lips on his face. From one bruise to the next she moved and "applied medicine" in her…

"You could've brought your car here than carrying her to your car..." Mark's advice fell on deaf years as Jeremy walked out of the pub carrying Jerlina. Her purse was hanging from his shoulder. "Him carrying a woman's purse is something I thought I'd never see..." Mark went to his office and closed the door. He opened the drawer of his table with the key he kept safely in the locker. Inside was an old sepia-toned picture of a girl. Pouring a glass of vodka, he rested on the backrest placing the…

Jerlina didn't want to answer Mark Maverick's question. She was glad she knew a lot more about Jeremy and her heart was moved knowing how much he had helped her in the past. But what should I do about it..? She didn't want to think that far. It was then she heard loud horn sounds and she saw Gerard's car slowing down in front of the pub. She saw two guys beside him shouting some profanities asking him to leave. She knew Gerard won't stop the car. But when the car almost stopped, she was a…
