"I didn't finish my assignment... But it was the deadline and that teacher will reduce marks for tardiness. I knew I had to submit something if I have to get my scholarship... That day Emma asked me to take a printout of her assignment and I..." Jerlina took in a deep breath, rubbing her temples. Her head hurt remembering the mistake she did. "I took two copies and...I was wrong..." she looked at Scarlett and she had no change in expression when she expected disgust. "I thought I could replace it with…-

Jerlina thought they' be going to the Corporate Office of the Fitzgerald Lumber Corp. located in the port city of Latson, but she was taken to the Registered Office in Peyton. The old building is there for more than a century as this was used by the Fitzgerald family. Scarlett told Jerlina that TJ uses this office still although he has a lavish office in the Corporate office building too.

Jerlina held the knob of the door to close it but she couldn't. She remembered TJ was warm when he embraced her before. And the way he suffered when he had the panic attack made her feel bad. But then she was a little scared if she'd get attacked like before. Sigh! She closed the door and lied on the bed. She tried to sleep, but she couldn't. She wondered if people would die of high fever and google said that they can. It gave her a fright. She wondered if something happened to TJ, she might get…

Bobby paused screwing in the lock and turned to look at Jerlina. He leaned on the door frame with a smirk. "Well, look who's not scared of me anymore!" Jerlina shrugged with a smile. She wasn't that scared of Bobby anymore. She herself didn't know the reason. Maybe it is because he is married with a child. Scarlett seemed like a smart woman and if she married him, he must have something good, right? Also, after getting to know Daisy, she realized Bobby inherited her smile. And someone who was raised…

Jeremy reminisced that day. He didn't have strong feelings of guilt and fear anymore. His mom helped him get the necessary help. But he did feel grief... The grief of losing a friend. Alexei was a couple years older than him and he was very brave and smart. He hatched the escape plan by getting to the control room and inform someone through the radio that they were kidnapped. Mikhail was a couple years young and all he did was cry. The three boys escaped the containment area somehow and they reached…

"Continue our talk, Jerlina..." Jerlina took in a deep breath. She didn't know why she said what she said. She made a plan to pretend to believe him and she can't even follow through with it. She stayed silent and gathered her thoughts. She was scared to have him in the room when just some minutes ago he tried to hurt her. And that's why when she saw his legs leaving her bedside, she was relieved. But then the room turned bright and he came to her bedside once again. Crouching down, he looked…

Jerlina rested her forehead on her knees as she sat hugging her legs. Her head hurt thinking so much. She thought he might be pretending to be in love with her and make him fall for her. Before she knew it, she had written a very elaborate story in her mind. The story of a very devoted brother who wants to give his sister what she wanted and willing to go to any lengths for her. Since his sister wanted some other woman's boyfriend, he separated the woman from the man and got his sister married to the…

In the evening, after taking the shower, Jeremy couldn't forget Jerlina's image, all soaked up. Whenever he closed his eyes, all that came to his mind was her beautiful eyes, those pink lips, and her porcelain skin. He tried to distract himself by working in his shed, but he was restless and wanted to take a peek at her. She was just there in his house and it made his desire rise. He couldn't control himself and feared he might do something he will regret later. That's why when Mikhail asked him for…

"...Your husband!" he chuckled and kissed her neck making her skin crawl. "I am proving to you that I am a man... your hands... can you feel it? YOU made that happen. Not her! You... only you..." His voice got hoarse. With a hiccup, he rested his forehead on her collarbone. What kind of dream is this? Jerlina, who had a deep sleep after a long time, couldn't figure out what was happening as she was still half-asleep. She tried to move her limbs, but her hands and legs were pinned making her…

Jerlina was a little relieved after stopping the water, but she was still scared because she broke the tap. He was still standing behind her and she turned at him. Water was dripping from her hair and face, her clothes were soaking wet, and she shivered as the autumn wind blew. "I'll..." she held out her hand to pass the handle to him. "I'll find a way to fix it..." she gulped and looked up. Seeing his expressionless face she got nervous and started to twist the hem of her shirt. Jeremy took in a…
