Jeremy staggered hearing what Jerlina said. He stood supporting himself in the trunk of the tree. His chest felt heavy and he took deep breaths to help him breathe. She didn't elaborate, but she revealed a pretty shocking incident. Emma had told her that Jerlina had no one. The knife Emma left was there and she tried to off herself forgetting that she was pregnant. But she stopped herself and she ended up losing her baby anyway. How much did she suffer that day? He didn't think she was lying. Her…-

One by one the others started to leave the garden and the place became silent. "I talked to her recently, but she didn't mention calling me. So she called?" Jerlina decided to speak her mind. These past few months had entirely destabilized her. A lot has happened around her while she was totally ignorant. "Yes, there were some ten or so missed calls and she even went to your apartment-" "Why wasn't I informed..." Jerlina wanted to raise her voice, but she held back to not scare the baby. "You…

Emma wiped her eyes the moment Jeremy left in his car. He acted as usual with her and she just cried without speaking anything more since she didn't know how much Jeremy knows. As a veteran of lying, she knew speaking a lot is never good. She barely got away with saying that she almost got stabbed by Jerlina. If Jeremy was not such an emotional idiot, she couldn't have gotten away. If Jerlina went along with her, or just ended the call just how she usually does, this issue would have been resolved.…

Jerlina tried to do some work at Jeremy's desk. Just an hour ago, he called her and told her to do whatever she wants as he won't be in the office in the morning. Apparently, he is meeting his dear sister. And this was the first time he called her phone and she stored his number. Since she was given no tasks to do, she used the time to revamp her company's website. She knew web designing and she changed the website to be more attractive to women. She had some plans for the collector's items and she…

"It's..." Jeremy gulped looking at her reddened eyes. He bowed his head realizing his mistake. Marriage is not something to be taken lightly. It is a covenant made between two people in love. Some consider it sacred. And he thought of it as some deal that would keep her safe and close to him without even considering her feelings. "You're easily saying that I can get back with Gerry after you let me go. What will you do if I want to continue my relationship with Gerry while I am married to you on…

"Yeah, Emma got my knife to cut the apple. It was weird. Today I searched for it in the cabin and found it under the bed." Charlie didn't know why his boss is asking all these, but he answered anyway. "Okay then... you know what to do with those guys. Figure out if they are connected to Mosely." Jeremy said and closed the door. Under the bed? Did Jerlina store it there for future use? She said she finds those kinds of places as safe places. But if she was planning on using it, why didn't she take it…

"Just leave, Gerry." She didn't want to think about love or anything like that now. She just wanted to be left alone. There was silence for some time and Jerlina still didn't turn to look at him. He left after a while without saying anything more. Jeremy was silent. His wounds stang but his heart hurt more. Both of them were interacting as if he wasn't even there and it hurt. They are going to talk more? "Do you need to get your wounds treated?" she asked as they got near his mom's…

Jeremy wished it was her and he wished it was not her. If it was her, it means she has no self-preservation and he needed to give her some lessons. He can protect himself, but she cannot be involving herself in dangerous stunts like this. But why do I want to see her there? Why do I wish that this clumsy attempt to "help" me was undertaken by her? His legs started running towards the driver's side. Am I dreaming? From the distance, Gerard watched the woman he thought he knew well, rash driving…

Jerlina saw those guys running towards Jeremy and they were holding something in their hands. She grew up in these situations and she knew those guys are holding little blades and the moment the opponent is open, they will stick it in one of their vitals resulting in a fatal ending. She observed if TJ had noticed the approaching men, but he was well-hidden in the darkness. And there seemed to be almost eight to nine men approaching him and she didn't think TJ could handle that many people with weapons…

Jerlina stood near the Jeep and her chest felt heavy. The way Gerard looked at her got imprinted in her heart and his gentle voice that was trembling when he asked her what is wrong with her, hurt her. She only then realized something. He must have been shocked to learn that she is married to TJ just like she was when Emma mentioned her wedding with Gerard. He might even be thinking that she married TJ to get back at him. I don't want him to misunderstand. Although she had decided that she should…
