In Jeremy's Office... All the employees stood there holding their breath. The blinds weren't on and they could see through the glass, but they couldn't hear anything that was said. Jeremy didn't let the guards stop that guy and the moment he got in, he started throwing punches. One of them ran to Scarlett to inform her that there is a fight. It was not a fight per se. Jeremy wasn't even trying to dodge and let that skimpy man hit him. "Were you responsible for her miscarriage?" Gerard folded his…-

Mark led Jerlina in. The town will be free of filth only if it is washed over by the blood of the vermins causing poor people distress. No number of reforms will help those who have violence in their blood. He did the mistake of letting go of the lower-level people from their gang and now they've grown up to be the thorns on his side destroying this place. Only when the weeds are pulled out and burnt, the garden will become lush. That boy...he loves him and wouldn't wish ill on him. But he is…

No, it can't be him... I kind of remember his name... What was it..? Jerlina bowed and rubbed her temples. She didn't tell him her name, but he told her his name. It was... "Come on, honey buns... you're wasted. I'll drop you home. Let's meet and talk when you're sober..." Jerlina remembered that guy's gentle deep voice as he caressed her cheek. His forehead was pressed on hers and his warm breath fell on her face. "Are you shy?" She grazed her lips on his. Ugh! Was that even I who talked…

"Jer, you..." Gerard tried to hold her hand but she pulled her hand back and he didn't mind that. He could not believe what he was hearing, but then slowly it got registered. She's pregnant? That means... "Jer..." his eyes teared up. "You... we are pregnant?" he fisted his hand over his mouth and took a deep breath and broke into laughter. Jerlina held her breath and clenched her jaws to control herself. He could see he was obviously happy about it and her heart moved a bit and she wanted to hug…

Gerard looked at Jerlina ordering another drink. She had no change in her emotions if not she seemed a little disgusted. But he is the one to blame for not explaining everything differently. Had he not let his emotions control him, she'd have believed whatever he tells her like in the past. Why Emma left his school is directly connected to him and Emma is blackmailing him with that truth. And so he didn't want to answer Jerlina's question. He decided to tell his story in a way to invoke her…

*** Expletives Alert*** "F*cking coward!" Matt gritted his teeth. "After everything you did for her, you're letting her go? Should I pity you? Should I bless you and tell you to follow your heart and become a c*ck? You f*cking c*nt! F*ck off!!" Matt ended the call and Jeremy gritted his teeth. He didn't know what kind of reply he expected from Matt. But Matt doesn't get this angry at him ever. What do you know, Matt? If I follow my heart, I will steal her and take her to the end of the world and…

What is he doing? Jerlina got angry at TJ in her heart. But seeing those piercingly blue eyes that were calm as the deep blue sea, she realized she needs to have this talk. She needs to tell him what she feels and maybe about her miscarriage. I need to pull the band-aid and tell him that he and I can never be together again. "Yes, let's," she turned and looked at Gerard. "I know a place." "I'll be at the pub," Jerlina looked at Jeremy and he nodded. He extended his hand as if he was about to…

"I didn't know you sing so well, Bobby," Jerlina said with a grimace and Scarlett started laughing out loud. "Oh, you're here," Bobby's tone was mixed with a lot of emotions. But disappointment was more pronounced. "I'm leaving," Jerlina waved her hands. "I won't disturb your night of loving." "Stay for dinner, madam Luna," Bobby said with a grin after he was pinched by Scarlett. "No need to feel obliged, Bobby. I can see I am not welcome here," Jerlina said in a serious tone making Bobby…

"Anything," Scarlett said seeing the serious but hesitant face of Jerlina. "Thank you... It's... will you please keep what I said before, about me trying to you-know-what as a secret? Please keep it from Bobby too. I know it is too much of me to ask this, but I don't want Emma to know. Bobby will tell Jeremy and Jeremy will tell Emma and she'll laugh at me," Jerlina started mumbling the last sentence. "Got it," Scarlett agreed. Even if he is her husband, she knew she cannot talk about other people's…

Thinking about her miscarriage made her want to cry more, but then she tried to distract herself. Her eyes were puffy and she didn't want to enter the office now. "Bobby was pretty happy that you didn't run away scared from him that day," Scarlett asked after a while and Jerlina smiled with embarrassment. "I used to be very scared of him and everyone near TJ... But they've done a lot for me without any appreciation from me. I don't know how I will repay them all," Jerlina fiddled with her fingers.…
