On their way back, Jerlina was happy her plans will succeed. Daisy said that she'll give her rose bushes. Jerlina felt a little bad for making that sweet lady think that she had grown interested in gardening when all she cared for is her escape. Forgive me, Daisy... But I have to escape. Now, all she has to do is clear the small garden area she saw in the house for her roses. She wondered if she should get the permission of the house owner to turn his outdoor space into a rose garden. She turned…-

"So, the Davis family fed you?" Jeremy asked trying to listen more. She suddenly turned quiet and he wanted to hear more of her voice. She is not screaming at him and talking to him and he was not willing to let go of this moment. He already knew all these things about her. And heaven only knows the joy he feels as she is opening up to him. Yes, he is an ass for getting happy for this, but he was happy. And she has him now and she doesn't have to worry about food ever again. "Yes. And for a child who…

"You don't want him to know? He might make all troubles go away with a swish of his little finger. And Jerry... shouldn't he know?" Alexander asked Patrick. Both of them got tired after their verbal battle and became silent. Patrick pondered for some time. "No need. Just watch over Fitzgerald. Missy will be safe with him." "Do you not trust 'him'?" Alexander tried to stand up. He cannot be seen staying here for too long. Who knows how many eyes are watching him? Patrick took in a deep breath,…

Jerlina was avoiding her boss' phone calls since she knew why he calls. She had already spent the money he sent to her, to pay for Uncle Pat's medical bills and she cannot return the money to him. And she cannot ask TJ to stop threatening her boss, because her relationship with him is not good. Well, it is worse, to be honest. But she knew her boss cannot file a complaint against her since there is no proof that she extorted him for money. He sent the money of his own volition imagining that she is…

In the hospital room... "You have some nerve to lie through your teeth," Patrick Davis knitted his brows. If Jerlina saw him now, she wouldn't believe this is her gentle uncle Pat. "Haha... were you offended?" Alexander Volkonsky chuckled and seated himself on the bench. Patrick rolled his eyes and Rebecca held his hand with a smile. Seeing her beautiful smile, Patrick calmed down. "I asked for your assistance four months back," Patrick complained. Alexander sighed. "I had bypass surgery…

Jerlina had her fill and stretched herself. Maybe because she didn't sleep the entire night, she felt a little giddy, but since she had coffee, she knew she can go on for some more time without sleep. She could only imagine how the old Aunt Becky would be feeling right now. She picked up her phone to call Aunt Becky to check what she wants for breakfast. "There is a family dinner at Chestershire Mansion in a couple of days to welcome Emma and her husband. We'll be attending together to talk about our…

"Twisted..." Jeremy muttered and let out a snort dodging her hand and she took a couple of steps back with her face filled with fear. Of course, she'd call his love twisted. She never tried to understand him. She came to his life like the moon fairy one day and then she returned up to the sky forgetting him. He's the one who is howling at the moon ever since. She never looked back at him. Stalking? Kidnapping? Killing? Is that how she sees it all? All I wanted was her safety. Is he twisted?…

"I am fine..." Jerlina moved aside since getting away from his hand. She thought he'd be angry for walking out alone and dragging his name creating trouble for his men. Looking in his eyes that seemed a little tired, she didn't find anger no matter how hard she searched. "Thank you for helping me out there," she decided to probe to see if he was hiding his anger. "Did they approach you or-" "No, I thought they were harassing Gina and intervened. Turns out..." she gulped seeing his eyes turning…

Jerlina knew the thugs won't touch her after she mentioned TJ's name. They may hold her to make sure she is not lying, but she knew she'll be safe. "TJ? Look at this liar saying she's TJ's woman," the guy held her arm tightly and dragged her to the front while the others sniggered. Jerlina winced as she thought her arm might break by the force he held her. The other guys grabbed Gina who tried to escape in the commotion. Jerlina let out a deep breath thinking of her fate. She chided herself for…

"What are you doing here, grandpa?" Jeremy asked and Jerlina turned away. "Why can't I be here? Do you own this place?" the old man's voice was haughty. Jerlina decided to leave since he has nothing to do with her. As she took a step forward, the cane suddenly was thrust in front of her legs. If she wasn't quick on her feet, she'd have fallen face-first on the floor. What the... She knitted her brows and looked at the old man and he scoffed. "Is she your wife?" Alexander Volkonsky asked…
