"Let go! You aren't even holding it right!" Jerlina felt her wrist getting gripped hard and she couldn't hold on to the scissors anymore. With a clink, the scissors fell on the floor and she tried to struggle out of his grip. But she ended up tripping on his legs. "You're such a..." Jeremy held the back of her head with one hand to keep it from getting hit on the floor, and his other hand pushed against the floor to stop him from crashing into her petite body as both of them fell on the floor due…-

Jerlina felt her heart beating in her throat as she heard the two dogs growling at each other and just by TJ's voice, they went away as if they weren't aggressive a moment ago. His voice... she heard him commanding the dogs to go downstairs and the dogs left..! If so, why were the dogs in here in the first place? How did they open the door and enter? She heard his footsteps entering the room and she saw him standing in front of her. Maybe because of the stress, she felt a sharp pain in her…

Lying on the floor, Jerlina saw the beast, majestic as it is with its pointed ears, jumping down from the bed. Its collar made a slight clinking noise as it got down. It walked closer to her as if it didn't want to leave her alone. It was only then she noticed that its eyes are icy-blue. A Siberian husky? Her heart calmed down a bit, but as someone who has never been around dogs much, she still was not relaxed. She once had a rescue cat, but it was already old and it died within a couple of years…

"Don't touch!" Jerlina didn't know where she borrowed her courage from, but she had actually slapped his hand away, stopping him from touching the planter – the planter where she buried her baby he killed. She wasn't even thinking. She didn't want his murderous hand touching her baby and out of instinct, she actually hit him. A couple seconds passed and only then her brain registered what she did. Her palm stung by the force she had used on him and through her peripheral vision she could see him…

Jerlina's heart started to pound as she passed Payton High School. And as they passed through the little pub where she did her first stupid thing, her heart skipped a beat. Even after ten years, why is everything the same? That alleyway was where TJ almost trapped her that day when she left her part-time job... That tree is where she hit her head as she ran away from TJ... That pavement in front of that house was uneven and she sprained her ankle as she fell from her bike as TJ chased her. Her way…

Jerlina held the little box that was made in a fine black walnut wood with beautiful carvings with both of her hands. She's been holding the box for more than an hour and still her tears didn't stop. She didn't think the clinic would provide free caskets for miscarried babies. She greatly appreciated this help. And also, the box is very well-made and looked really expensive. She is not someone creative, but she can appreciate art. Seeing how cute and exquisite the carvings on the box are, she inferred…

"I will never be with you, TJ." Jeremy heard her as he closed the door. Her low voice filled with resentment made him feel like a thousand daggers got lodged in his heart. "I know," he spoke under his breath rubbing his chest. He leaned on the wall closing his eyes. The pain in his heart escaped as a sigh. "I know, I'll never be with you. But still, be with me for a while." He saw how much damage he had done to her unwittingly. He knew he broke her. He won't expect her to stay with him…

Standing outside the room, Jeremy watched Jerlina talking to his mother with a smile. She seemed to be holding up well. He thought after Gina's visit she'd be blue. Turns out, Daisy has cheered her up. He saw his mom with her usual kind smile. But she can be pretty scary at times like when she forbade him to get in the room. He could understand his mom is not willing to trust him with Jerlina. It hurt him and he felt like no one trusts him anymore. Of course, he knew his mom is not that fond of…

Dr. Kruger leaned on the wall bowing her head as she heard the little sniffles coming from inside the room after Gina stormed off. She heard some of what those two talked about. 'Strong woman' She doesn't like that phrase either. She knew people who others think as strong are the ones carrying greatest scars in their heart, weeping silently, when no one is looking. She closed her eyes and her nightmare came to her recollection once more. That day, she thought she did the right thing for herself…

Gina seemed to not understand Jerlina's pain and felt like she was blaming her for attending a wedding. "Linny, what's there to-" she let out a deep breath as if she was wronged. "I know Gerard and you were planning to marry, but it didn't work out. It happens! He found someone better for his career! Do you have any idea how many millionaires and politicians attended their wedding?" she shrugged. "And just because of that we cannot be close-minded and ignore him, right? Plus... Ugh! Leave it, Linny,"…
