Darien became lost in thought as his expression changed gradually after hearing that.“What’s wrong?” When Jeri noticed how suddenly angry Darien became, she inquired. It was strange. “Umm… well…” Awkwardly scratching the back of his head, Darien attempted to maintain his composure despite appearing confused. “ Nothing… nothing.”“Huh? You have got to be kidding, Darien. Come on, talk to me,” Jeri insisted, looking worried. She knew something had gone wrong when he acted that way. Darien, on the other hand, did not want her to find out what was going on, so he faked a smile. “There is no need to be concerned, Jeri. I'm doing extremely fine. I think it's time to go to bed now. We will talk tomorrow, okay?” He pecked her cheeks and kissed her son's forehead before leaving the room without waiting for her to say anything.Jeri remained silent, perplexed as to why Darien's expression had changed so dramatically afte
Love, Lies And Hidden Truths Love VS Family Legacy
Darien was even more surprised when he discovered that Jeri knew the lady. “Jeri, you know this punk who sells her body to make money?” Darien questioned with skepticism.“A punk?” Jeri was lost. “ What exactly are you talking about? This is Aysel, my stepsister. She is the stepsister I told you about."Darien's parents, unable to comprehend what was going on, stood silently as they watched the drama unfold in front of them.“What is happening here?” Mrs. Lucinda inquired, her gaze moving from one person to another." Darien, have you met her before?"“Mom, I knew this lady as Catherine, and she works in the Delham brothel. She offers her body to men in exchange for money. Tell me, Mom, is this the woman you want me to marry?” Darien spoke through clenched teeth, pointing at Aysel. “What are you saying, Darien? Does that mean you go to the Delham brothel?” His mother raised her eyebrows, anticipating his response.

As soon as she let out, the tears she had been holding back for so long flowed down her cheeks to the ground.On the other hand, Aysel was overjoyed because Jeri had given up on Darien so quickly. That was all she ever wanted. Jeri turned around and was about to leave the house as tears streamed down her cheeks. “What are you trying to do, huh?” Darien grabbed Jeri's arm, causing her to pause halfway to the door. “ I brought you here and…”“And your parents are against it.” She cut through his words and yanked her hand from his grasp." I do not belong here, Darien! Can't you see that?” Jeri looked into Darien's eyes, expressing her heartbreak, pain, and disappointment. Darien could see in her eyes that she adored him as much as he adored her, but the circumstances prevented her from expressing her love for him.Jeri clutched her child against her chest, allowing endless tears to flow down her cheeks, revealing to Dar

“I am afraid that this place might not be safe for her, little one,” Dr. Emiliano told Darien. “Keep in mind that a few days ago, some intruders broke into this small house to attack her. Who knows what would have happened if you had not been there?” The elderly man sat on a wooden chair in his small study area, unsettled, because he knew the lady Darien was about to place in his care was in grave danger.“You have nothing to worry about,” Darien reassured the elderly man. “I have got everything under control. My men will always be available to protect you from any threats.”"I do not require your protection, Darien! Let me be!” Jeri abruptly snapped. "If I die, I die; if I live, so be it. I do not need you again. Can't you see it?”She detested Darien so much that Jeri never wanted to see him again because she was so furious.“I appreciate everything you did for me,” Jeri continued. “ But it's time we go our separate ways. It's cle
Love, Lies And Hidden Truths A Secret That Could Destroy Everything
“How dare you, Freya!” Darien raged as he pointed his index finger at the tall and slender woman sitting on a couch with her legs crossed and a glass of red wine in her hand. She was dressed in a black knee-length dress and sat on the couch, sipping her wine. Her hair was dark and glossy, and her eyes were piercing blue, giving the impression of a spoiled brat.“Has it gotten to the point where you are sending thugs to attack someone just because you want me to marry you, huh?” Darien yelled at her, but there was no trace of fear in her.Freya smiled evilly and dropped her drink on the four-square transparent glass table set in front of her. She sighed as she dropped the drink, dropped her leg, and stood up. She stood before Darien with her arms folded above her chest, staring at him from head to toe.Darien became increasingly enraged as she stared at him with her large dark blue eyes.She burst out laughing and lightly c
Love, Lies And Hidden Truths Jeri's Quest For Answers
“Here you are, little one.” Mrs. Lucinda smiled evilly as she stepped into the small house that Jeri had been calling home for the past month." Do you think you can get away from me, huh?"Jeri, who was breastfeeding her child, quickly jumped out of her seat, clutching her child to her chest and lowering her gaze to the ground.“Good… good day, ma'am,” Jeri stammered, avoiding eye contact with Mrs. Lucinda, who entered Dr. Emiliano's small house after being informed by a spy where Jeri lives.Darien, on the other hand, offered to build a new house for the old man as a token of appreciation, but he declined, stating that he was content with his small home.“Shut up, witch!” Mrs. Lucinda cursed through gritted teeth, glaring at Jeri, who shivered at the sound of her voice. “Because of you, my son no longer respects me. He brought you here because he thought I could not find you, right? Well, I guess he forgot that the same men who protect him a

Jeri gave Darien a deadly glare as he approached them.“You want to know what is going on, right?” Dr. Emiliano asked Jeri one last time, unconcerned about Darien's presence.“Yes.” Jeri rolled her eyes.“Walk up there, pick a book, go through it so you would know what's happening in the world today,” the old man pointed at his small library that was positioned in one angle of the small house.Dr. Emiliano disappeared from the living room, leaving Darien and Jeri behind, without another word. He did not even seem happy.“Umm…,” Darien scratched his scalp awkwardly with his left hand akimbo. He inquired." Please explain what is going on here. I do not seem to understand what is happening."“Tell me, Darien. In what way is this elderly man related to you?” She glared at him, her face displaying pure rage as she raised her voice.“Gosh,” Darien exhaled, clasping his palms against his face.“ How many times do I have to tell
Love, Lies And Hidden Truths A Dangerous Game
Jeri went into her room and locked it from inside, preventing Darien from entering. She leaned against the door and wept bitterly. It was not her intention for their relationship to end this way, but she believed it was best for everyone.She has suffered her entire life, and she cannot afford to continue doing so when she can help herself out of her misery.On the flip side, Darien repeatedly banged on the door, calling for her to open it, but she refused. After being exhausted, Darien could not help but join her in bitter tears over their predicament. She was the only woman who captured his attention at first glance. It would be painful to see the woman he loves wholeheartedly walk away because of his family members.Darien vowed to make things right, even after discovering that he was to blame for Jeri's mother's death. He believes he owes her a lot, and he would never let her go just like that.Jeri stood up and b

"Well,” Maya said, " if you think that's the best thing to do, then go ahead and do so since the whole thing centered on her.”With newfound determination, Darien left for Jeri's mansion after a long discussion with Maya.Perhaps the truth would change everything. Who knows?Darien arrived at Jeri's mansion a few minutes later, his heart pounding. One of the gatekeepers led Darien to the garden where Jeri was having fun with her son. "Jeri," Darien said, his voice barely above a whisper.Upon hearing her name, Jeri swiftly turned, her eyes narrowing. She was taken aback when her eyes fell on Darien."What is it, Darien?" Jeri asked, her brows furrowed.Darien stood dumbfounded as though he didn't hear her. Unfortunately, his attention was carried away by the little child who was busy playing with a ball.When Jeri noticed that, she became uncomfortable so she decided to ask her child to go into the house and he did.Dawson ran past Darien without greeting him. Probably because he did
Love, Lies And Hidden Truths Jeri's Life on the Line
Ever since Darien got the text, he became restless to the point of refusing to eat his dinner.He was eager to meet this unknown person to know who the person is and what the person wants.When it was almost midnight, Darien took with him three guards and exited the mansion without telling his father or grandfather.Within a few minutes of driving in the almost empty road, he arrived at the old warehouse, his heart racing with anticipation and fear. 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. "I've been tracking Adrian's operations for months.""Huh?” Darien's eyes narrowed."What do you want?"Instead of responding to his que
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. I can't sit back and watch them hurt Jeri. Not now," Darien said to himself with determination.At last, he retreated to the living room after giving it much thought.As he re-entered the mansion, he heard his grandfather speaking."Jeri, dear," Dr. Williams said, his voice soft, "I know my family has wronged you. 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
Love, Lies And Hidden Truths Darien's Dilemma
The mansion felt empty, the tension filled the air with Mrs. Lucinda's departure. Jeri's emotions swirled, relief and sadness mixed.As they exchanged glances, Sophia broke the silence. "It's time to start healing.""And seeking justice.” Freya chuckled.Just then, Darien approached Jeri, his eyes sincere, as he was eager to seek her forgiveness."Jeri," he began,“ I know I can never undo the harm I've caused. If only you could forgive me, I would be the happiest man on earth presently. 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
Love, Lies And Hidden Truths The Price of Secrets
"Huh?” Jeri gasped, her eyes narrowed as she tried to digest the whole thing."So you were the one who ruined my life from day one?" Jeri's eyes blazed as she spoke to Darien. Jeri glared at Darien as if she should strangle him to death. He killed her mother. As if that weren't enough he ruined her life by impregnating her."Jeri, I…" Darien continued, but Jeri cut him off."Shut up! You have no right to speak," Jeri spat, her voice venomous.The tears she had been suppressing for a long time finally escaped her eyes, and streamed down her cheeks.She came to seek justice for her dead mother and also to expose Mrs. Lucinda's sinister plans and now this. Jeri's world crumbled right before her as she was still finding it challenging to believe Freya's words.Upon seeing how heartbroken Jeri was, Sophia stepped forward, placing a gentle hand on Jeri's shoulder as she attempted to comfort her."Jeri, let's think this through," said Sophia as she gently rubbed Jeri's shoulder with her thu
Love, Lies And Hidden Truths A Night of Shame, A Lifetime of Consequences
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. He wasn't aware that the woman his son stabbed to death in his office was Jeri's mother.“What…what are you talking about, Jeri?” Mr. Ethan inquired, his gaze shifting from his son to Jeri. "Oh please, don't pretend as if you can't recall how your son murdered my mother in your office many years ago,” she growled in response, her fist tightened.Just after Jeri said that, it dawned on him that the woman was indeed Jeri's mother who had no one to look for her after her death.Mr. Ethan averted his gaze away from Jeri to Darien. He couldn't believe his ears. Never has he for once thought that this thing will come up in the future. Mrs. Lucinda, on the flip side, couldn't say anything, rather she froze in place staring at everyone with skeptical brows. She was just imagi

“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. He curiously i
Love, Lies And Hidden Truths Mrs. Lucinda's Downfall
As soon as they set eyes on Jeri, they were taken aback, wondering how she was permitted into the house without their permission They exchanged glances, wondering if Jeri had come with the police to arrest Darien or something different. Just as Mrs. Lucinda was about to question how she came into the house without their permission, Jeri stepped into the lounge and Aysel followed.Immediately Mrs. Lucinda set eyes on her daughter, she quickly swallowed her words, convincing herself that she had access into the house through Aysel.Upon realizing this, it fueled Mrs. Lucinda's hatred for Aysel.After Jeri and Aysel stepped forward, Freya and Sophia followed. 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. "We know what you're planning, Mrs. Lucinda. And we won't let you get away with it.""I have no idea what you're talking about," Mrs. Lucinda snapped,
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. They locked eyes as though they were about to wrestle.Although Darien didn't believe what Jeri and the other girls were saying about his mother, he felt it best to ask his mother a few questions to be on the safer side.Again, the evidence provided by the girls triggered him to believe them a little. He wasn't ready to fully trust them as he was well aware that Jeri was determined to get back at him because of what happ
