Jacques struggled hard to get out of the small town filled with gangs not only to improve her life, but also to get away from 'him' - the one she calls 'The Monster'. She had offended him by breaking the friendship with his little sister. She thought she escaped it all when years passed and she settled in the city. A nice job, a lovely boyfriend, a small home for them... She thought she had what she needed. She almost forgot about 'him'. But then he came back in her life for his sister, and took everything away from her. Her boyfriend, her little home, her freedom, and to her dismay he even took the child in her belly. He is a self-made man although he is from a powerful family. He has attained everything he has, working hard with his own hands. He has plans, He has secrets. But for him, she is the moon. She is his first love. She came to him one noisy night and he couldn't forget her from then. But every time he tries to get close to her, she suffers as if they are not meant to be. He wanted to stay away from her to not see her suffer. He did stay away from her for years. But when a chance presented itself pushing her to him, he couldn't stay back and tried to get close to her. And he got close to her to help her, but then he made her lose her child unwittingly.

She is used to living a certain way and enjoys certain perks because Jeremy is where he is. So, Emma won't touch him where she gets hurt.Emma will hurt Jeremy where it only hurts him – she'll hurt his heart.Unfortunately for Jacquesand fortunately for Emma, the one Emma hates and the one Jeremy loves is the same person – Jerlina!And so, Emma will try to hurt Jerlina.But will Jeremy believe her when she says it to him?Jacquessighed.I should defend myself against Emma. And I have the help of others."But Jeremiah Harrison would," Jacqueswetted her lips. She still remembered the way Jeremiah glared at them when he left the wedding."Whether you like to admit it or not, he has influence here... And I think he's someone with a crab mentality. He'd-""Crab mentality?" Jeremy questioned."Yes, crabs in
Jacques With a sigh.Well, I tried!Was she happy he refused to help? No. But she understood him.She wanted to give it a try as she promised and she did. But she had a suggestion and she would have been happy if he listened to it.But... Well, I can try later."Jerlina," he stopped at the door.He didn't feel good for using that tone on her. He was not going to change his mind, but he can explain it to her.He was harsh with her, but it is for her own good. And if she can't understand that..."What?" Jacques Got up and walked to him. She wondered if he forgot something."You're not mad?" he asked looking at her face. He was surprised.She asked something and he harshly refused her, but she still looks at him normally?Why can I never understand her?Is it because it doesn't directly involve her she can act normal?"No, why would I be mad? I am a little disappointed... but I am not mad," Jacquesspoke from her heart.Jacques Looked at his surprised reaction. "I know I got mad at you be
"Are you sure about this? You're not mad? Charlie doesn't think this is a good idea... he thinks I might provoke the Tigers' gang leader by hiring a member of his group," Jacquesasked Jeremy.She was currently in Jeremy's office after leaving the clinic. She was happy she found an amazing artist to design for her glassware company, but the problem is he belongs to another gang and there might be trouble attached to him."Do you think he would be helpful for you?" Jeremy asked."Yes! When I first saw his cute art, I was mind blown! You see, for the collectibles I am putting up on our website, I thought of adding some cute items to attract Mikhail Volkonsky's fangirls. Shaun's designs would be perfect... I consulted Nick and he said with a little tweaking here and there, and a little training, Shaun has the potential to become a designer!" Jacques Held his arm."So can I?""You are sponsoring him for a crash course on designing but you aren't hiring him?" Jeremy asked.This one is... am
Jeremy had very little hope, but he decided to wait. Waiting for her comes easy for him.He waited for some time and her door was still open. And as he watched, she came out of her room, still with her pout on.Is she still feeling bad?"Tell me more stories from your childhood, Jerlina!" he tried to use his normal voice, but his excitement to see her walking towards him got revealed by his excited voice."Really?" he saw her eyes widening with relief."Yes, tell me more about your grandpa... he seems like an interesting guy," he said pointing at his bed."He is! Geez, I have a lot to tell you about him...Where shall I start..?"With no care in the world, she walked to his bed and he kicked out the pest Earl who tried to sneak in. He made sure to lock his door.No one is permitted inside tonight!-----Jacques Woke up in the morning feeling a little dampness on her forehead. She opened her eyes groggily and met eyes with a smiling Jeremy.Her neck felt like it was resting on a block o
Jacques Looked at the man lying on her lap, playing with her fingers. She prepared dinner that night since he seemed so out of it. After dinner, he asked her to join him to watch television and he didn't seem to be watching that comedy sitcom either."You can talk to me about Emma if you want, you know..." she said, caressing his hair. "Good memories, bad memories... I'll listen..."She won't mind much, and it would help him if he talks about Emma. Jacquesalso wanted to know what Jeremy actually thinks of Emma. And if she knows of that, she might rightly point out how Emma had manipulated him and how the signs were earlier there that he ignored his love for her.Jeremy was in deep thoughts, but it was not about Emma. He didn't want to be thinking about Emma today since this is the day Jacques Said that she'd give him a chance.He was actually thinking about what he should call her.He wanted to give her a unique nickname. Jacques Is a nice name but it is long. And Jer is out of the qu
She says there is a chance... I have a chance!Jeremy hugged her. He wanted to jump and scream it to the world. But he decided to keep it for when she accepts his love.I really hope it is sooner!Will we have a baby by this time next year? I wish we had a girl. We can name her after our mothers.He went on dreaming."I'll be tending the roses," she kissed his cheek. "You finish washing the dishes," she turned and left, seeing him reveling in that little kiss she gave him."I love you, Jerlina... You're my Luna forever!" he shouted as she left the house.His heart was happy beyond comprehension. Humming a song, he went to finish doing the dishes. He saw the plate Emma used and his smile reduced.Emma... how could you consider Jacquesto be your enemy? Why do you hate her that much? Who can hate that one with the purest heart?-----She patted her face that was blushed red. Her heart was pounding and she ran to the garden.What's with me! I am not a teenager! Why am I fuzzing about a ki
Jacques Pressed her lips and raised her eyebrows."Wife, huh?""Yes, of course," Jeremy said, puffing his chest.They are married. If she is not his wife, then who is she?"Who agreed to be your wife?" she asked, biting her lips.One of her brows was raised and that bunch of her hair hanging by her cheek made her look a thousand times more adorable."You didn't?" Jeremy raised his brows."No! When did I?" Jacques Raised her voice. The corners of her lips were lifted up and Jeremy couldn't help but pull her closer holding her waist.Leaning on the counter by the stove, he pressed her waist on his. Jacquestried to step back, but he pulled her closer. "Then what did you agree on? Who are we?"They've never defined their relationship properly till now. She used to hate him and now she doesn't. He has always loved her and now he has confessed to her. They are legally married.So what is their relationship?He was leaning casually on the counter and was almost at eye level with Jerlina. Jac
Jerlina's eyes clouded.He apologized!She thought it was enough that Jeremy knew the truth. She didn't know she needed the apology.Turns out, she needed the apology.Everything that went wrong in her life, started with her meeting Emma again. She lived in fear and stress for months. After she lost her baby, she almost lost her mind trying to find out the reason behind everything.She slowly learned a lot of truths and little by little each of the knots in her heart got removed. She learned a lot, she changed a lot and she grew a lot for the better. She lost some and gained some. She learned that a lot of people truly love her; more than she thought.The biggest shock for her was the fact that Jeremy never hated her and he really wanted to protect her.But she feared him for the better part of her life thanks to the lies of Emma.And for Jeremy to not believe that his sister is not a saint till now, was a big burden in her heart. She didn't know why, but she didn't like Jeremy thinki
Jacquesstaggered back holding her chest. Her eyes clouded and she leaned on the wall for support.The truth is out! He finally realized the truth!It won't change anything from the past, but she felt vindicated. She knew it. She knew Emma was behind it but her voice wasn't heard. A lot happened, but finally, the truth came out.She wouldn't say she was happy. There is nothing to be happy about in this circumstance. But she was relieved. She now knows that her beliefs weren't wrong and Emma is the source of most of her troubles.She let out a sigh.She looked at the tall back in front of her, shielding her from Emma. His voice was shaking and she could feel his pain.Is he showing me that I am more important to him? By confronting his sister in front of me... By confronting the one I thought was his most important person in front of me, is he telling me that he takes my side?No, it should be because the truth is on my side.But he insisted on my presence here. Although he's hurt, he w
