Jeremy tried to find the towel, but his brain shut up and he forgot where he kept it. He is someone who prefers to air dry since he lives alone. If he walks to the kitchen, has a beer, and gets back to his room, he'd be dry. Where do I keep my towels? "Uncle Pat... " Her broken voice made him pause his search and he looked at her. She looked terrible would be an understatement to describe her condition. "Uncle Pat... heart attack. Aunt Becky called... I..." Jerlina couldn't even finish her…-

Jerlina watched the two dogs eating from their bowls. She figured why the two bowls were kept apart. These two are extremely hungry dogs and liked to steal the other's food resulting in fights. From the bowls, she learned the names of the dogs. The bigger one was called Duke and the younger one was Earl. "Earl, no!" she stopped the dog from getting close to Duke's bowl for the ninth time. The younger one was naughtier and more fearless than Duke. Although these two acted like goofy buffoons, she…

"And here I thought you came to meet me..." Mikhail stood up and walked to the table. He opened the box and checked the different glassware in them one by one. "You look impressed," Jeremy's lips curved up. He could see the admiration in his eyes for the glasses. Of course, my wife's company makes the best glassware. I knew it! Jeremy was a little nervous if someone like Mikhail who grew up in luxury and has seen every best thing there is in the world will be as impressed as he was when he first…

Hearing some scratching noise, Jerlina looked at her bedroom door. She figured it must be the dog and decided to open it. "In the end, you succeeded in becoming one of us..." David Millman said and Jerlina's hand that reached to the doorknob paused. "You aimed for my son but failed. And now you climbed much higher in the ladder... getting a Fitzgerald!" he snorted and Jerlina's eyebrows twitched out of anger. What in the everloving hell! What is this fresh bullsh!t this guy is spouting! He is…

"I can't wait for long," Jeremy tapped his fingers on the receptionist's desk. The woman who seemed to be in her early twenties looked at him hiding her contempt. Surely her boss is not someone who considers meeting with someone wearing a flannel shirt and jeans a priority. He even drove a broken truck here. Is he some kind of beggar? "Sir, please wait for one more minute. I haven't gotten a reply from Mr.Millman's office yet," she said with her business smile. "Sweetie, you've said that for…

Jeremy felt stupid for trying to manipulate her this way along with the sadness he felt to see her hate-filled eyes. He decided it would be best for him to be straightforward. But he wondered if she'd believe him if he says that Millman might be responsible for hiring a gang to kill her. He decided to give it a try. "Did you eat anything?" he asked getting her hands off his collar. He knew she didn't eat anything from the morning. Noticing her wince a little he remembered the would in her hand and…

"Stop!" Jeremy shouted and the next moment Jerlina came to a halt. His powerful voice was not the reason, but it was because she heard a bunch of dogs barking. They were so loud as if they were expressing their displeasure on her since she defies their master's command. They sounded fierce and Jerlina got scared. Her fingertips went cold and she wondered what he'll do to the planter if she steps out. He threatened to destroy the planter previously after all. She turned and faced the tall man once…

Jerlina wondered if Darren Scott got the right person. But she remembered him mentioning her company and her, by name. Her surname can be considered not so rare, but her name definitely is. He is talking about my company! "May I know who the buyer is?" she asked. She wanted to know the 'genius' who wants to buy a company that is worth two hundred thousand dollars for twenty million. "Can we meet somewhere?" Darren asked and Jerlina somehow felt a weird feeling in her gut. "Mr. Scott, I have no…

Jerlina got so confused and paranoid and she kept on having nightmares during her sleep. Sometimes she felt like she was not exactly existing and was living someone else's life. She questioned whether everything happening to her, is actually happening or not. But then, she'd sit on the balcony beside the planter and the pain in her heart would remind her of everything that transpired in her life. That little plant will pull her back to reality each time she was about to lose herself. Thankfully,…

Jerlina couldn't understand what was happening. One moment she was holding the scissors to kill him and the next moment she was pinned down by him on the floor. He said he didn't despise her and she figured he was searching for a stronger word than 'despise'. He got mad when she mentioned Gerard and then she opened a conversation to negotiate for her freedom and after that, he became weirder. What's with that...smile? Is that even a smile? Or is it something sinister? Is he trying to scare me? Oh,…
