But before I assist you in your mission, I would be overjoyed if you would fulfill the task I have for you. “Uh?” Jeri's mouth was agape upon hearing his words. “ Look, sir. I am paying attention to you because I have a deep respect for elders. However, I can tell you are here to use me as a pawn to get something I do not know about. With due respect, sir, I am not interested in this conversation. Excuse me, please..."Jeri rolled her eyes and turned to leave, but she paused as the man's words echoed in her ears."You will find me when the time is appropriate, Jeri, I promise you. By then, you will be kicking yourself for not working with me earlier." Those were Mr. Elias' words that brought Jeri to a stop. She chuckled, shook her head, and turned back to face Mr. Elias."What led you to believe that I will require your assistance in the future?" She shot back. “I am a self-sufficient sin

Instead of Freya's servant as expected, they were all welcomed by Freya's presence, causing their expression to freeze in a mask of shock. Was she watching from inside?Immediately Freya set her gaze on Jeri who was standing behind one of her guards while others stood behind her, her eyes narrowed, her expression icy.Although she was astonished to see Jeri in her house, she was a bit nervous."What do you want, Jeri?" Freya inquired, frowning."Just because we are not on good terms doesn't mean we can't exchange pleasantries, Freya's,” Jeri snapped and rolled her eyes. “I don't need your greetings, Jeri.

He was dressed in full football attire.“Hey, my boy," Sophia responded, stood up and spread her arms to embrace Dawson.” Where are you coming from?" “I'm coming back from a football training game," Dawson responded after breaking the hug with his aunt.“Aww. That's so sweet," Sophia pecked his cheeks, flashing a wide smile. “Where's your football field located?” "At the garden,” Dawson responded, placing his ball on his head, his gaze locked onto his aunt's.“Who's your coach?"

“Jeri!" Freya shouted into Jeri's ears, calling her back to reality.Jeri, who was lost in thoughts earlier, flinched in fear after Freya's words resonated in her ears.“What's it, Jeri? I have been calling your name, but you seem to be lost in thoughts that you didn't hear me. Are you thinking about how my father got to know your birthday? Is it?" Freya asked, but Jeri only shook her head without saying anything.“Come on, Jeri, speak to me. What's it?" Freya insisted on knowing what was wrong with Jeri, but Jeri wasn't ready to speak.However, others were busy singing and dancing, which was obvious that no one was listening to what they were talking about, but Jeri seemed not interested in the conversation.“Give me a minute, Freya.

Jeri's and Sophia's gaze were fixed on Mr. Elias, anticipating his next words.Freya, on the flip side, couldn't take her gaze away from Jeri, as she was still wondering how possible it was that Jeri was her sister. Again, how is it even possible that they celebrate their birthdays on the same day? Are they twins?“Jeri," Mr. Elias began.” Your Mom and I were in a relationship. Unfortunately, her parents weren’t aware of it. It was a secret relationship known by me, her and my parents who are late now.”"Wait! What!" Jeri gasped, cutting into Mr. Elias' words. “Mr. Hemsworth told me that my Mom was an orphan, and he picked her on the street and made her his wife. So what parents are you talking about?" “Perhaps he met her when her parents were no more. Who knows?" Sophia spoke, her voice barely audible.“Well,” Mr. Elias replied to Jeri's words. “Mr. Hemsworth was right when he said your Mom was an orphan. But saying he picked your mom on th

Love, Lies And Hidden Truths Jeri's Life on the Line

The text had been cryptic, but the threat to Jeri's life was clear.Since he was asked to come alone, he asked his guards to wait for him from a far distance from the old warehouse.As Darien stepped out of the shadows, a figure emerged, causing him to flinch in fear."Who are you?" Darien demanded out of fear.The figure revealed a woman with piercing green eyes and raven-black hair."I'm Maya," she said.

Love, Lies And Hidden Truths Forgiveness and Fear
Darien began to pace around in the garden, wondering what to do. It was as if his head were going to explode for trying so hard to figure out what to do next.“I need to act fast.

But Darien has changed. He's trying to make amends. And as his grandfather, I will beg you on his behalf to please forgive him even though he deserves to face the consequences of his actions. He was still a kid that time when it happened and probably his father was afraid to lose his son that was why they kept it hidden. Please have mercy on them, Jeri."As Dr. Williams' words pierced into her ears Jeri's gaze wavered. Her plan was to get Darien and his father arrested, and not to forgive them. Now

Not only that, I would be able to help you as well.""Help me?” Jeri's gaze hardened, her voice icy. “ You're the reason I've suffered. In fact, I'm still suffering because without my mother, I'm just like an orphan.""I know,” said Darien as he took a step closer, his gaze full of regret. “But I'm willing to make amends. Let me help you fight those who've wronged you.""You think you can just waltz in and fix everything?” Jeri scoffed. " My mother's dead because of you."Darien's face contorted in ang

Darien's face paled, his eyes filling with a mix of shock and guilt. At last, Freya exposed the secret they have been hiding for decades.Mr. Ethan's eyes widened in astonishment, wondering what Jeri was talking about.

“What?" Darien gasped, his eyes shifting from the old man to his father. “ What did I just hear you call him, father?" “You heard him well, Darien," Dr. Williams cut in, causing Darien to avert his gaze away from his father to Dr. Williams.“Dr. Williams,” Darien called, still trying to comprehend what was happening. " I have been searching for you. You were nowhere to be found a few months after Jeri had left this city. I thought she came back and took you away demanding that you saved her life. I was astonished when she came to my office asking me about you. Where have you been all this while? And why is my father addressing you like that?”"How many times do you need to be told that Dr. Williams is your grandfather?” Jeri snapped."Zip your mouth, Jeri. I wasn't talking to you,” Darien countered, his brows drawn together.“What Jeri said is nothing but the truth, Darien," Dr. Williams responded, walking past Darien, his hands tucked behind him.“Huh?” Darien gasped.

Their faces were holding no traces of smile, causing Darien and his parents to ask themselves what exactly the ladies were there to seek.Jeri's eyes blazed as she stepped forward.

Love, Lies And Hidden Truths The Storms Arrives
“What's wrong, son?" Mrs. Lucinda asked as she sat beside her son on the couch.Darien, whose face was clouded with anger, hastily stood up, avoiding his mother's touch.“Tell me, is it true?" Darien asked, his arms folded above his chest, and his back against his mother's gaze.Mrs. Lucinda was confused as she couldn't comprehend what her son was talking about.“What exactly are you talking about, son?" Mrs. Lucinda stood up and asked with skepticism.Darien turned around and faced his mother.
