Love, Lies And Hidden Truths A Desperate Attempt At Freedom
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

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.

Before Aysel could leave Darien's room, her phone began to ring, calling for her attention. She gazed at the phone on the bed, trying to figure out who was calling her.“Aunt Clara,” Aysel mumbled as she took the phone from the bed. Clara was an old friend of Mrs. Lucinda, Darien's mother, and the older sister of Aysel's mother, Margaret. She was a spinster who hoped to marry someone someday.Mrs. Lucinda communicated with Clara because she needed help finding a wife for her son so she could complete her mission. However, Clara chose her niece, Aysel, to be her old friend's daughter-in-law because she knew her old friend got married to a billionaire, which implies that her son is a billionaire heir as well.Even though Aysel was an adopted child, Clara considered her to be her niece.“Hello, darling… How did it go? I was expecting to hear from you, but you did not call,” Clara's voice echoed from the phone after Aysel

Before she could find an apartment to rent with the little money she had left, Jeri took a taxi to a nearby hotel to stay for a few days.Darien had been paying her own and her child's bills for the past month.

“Look who we got here,” said the young man as he rubbed his palms against each other as he covered the space between him and Jeri. Watching the young man approach her and lustfully bite his lower lip, Jeri, who had been standing motionless since entering the house, started to shiver. She looked down quickly, swallowing hard as she made a concerted effort to keep her cool. “Huh?” The young man was taken aback when he laid eyes on Jeri's child. “ Well, I do not think having a child will prevent us from making out. Will it?” The young man spoke, attempting to hold Jeri's jaw, but she retreated a few inches. “I did not come here because of you, Henry,” Jeri snapped, unable to bear Henry standing so close to her. Henry was one of the young men who fell in love with Jeri at first glance. However, when she was asked out to be his girlfriend, she declined. Henry tried everything he could to make Jeri his girlfriend, but he failed and had no choice but to give up. And now she is at Hen

“I guess you are done preparing so we can start moving, Jeri,” Sophia said to Jeri as she stood at the entrance. “Please give me a few minutes, and I will be out. I had to prepare both myself and my child, you know,” Jeri replied, attempting to finish dressing and join Sophia, who had been waiting for her for the past ten minutes. “All right, I will be downstairs waiting for you,” Sophia said, quickly disappearing from the living room door. Just as Sophia had vanished, Henry appeared out of nowhere and walked into Jeri's room without knocking. He opened the door quickly and closed it again, his gaze falling on the half-dressed lady he had hoped to spend some quality time with on the bed. “Damn!” Jeri exhaled angrily, quickly picking up her towel from the bed and wrapping it around her chest. “How dare you come into my room without knocking?” She barked and pointed her index finger at him. Henry stood with his hands akimbo, giggling as he scanned Jeri from head to toe, a million

Even as she hugged and exchanged greetings with Sophia, Freya could not take her gaze away from Jeri, wondering if this was the Jeri she had been praying to meet. “I rang your line yesterday, but you didn't pick up,” said Sophia to Freya after they broke the hug. “I apologize for that, Sophy. I was so occupied yesterday that I didn't notice your call. Is there any problem?” Freya responded, still trying to figure out why Jeri was there. Has Darien told Jeri anything about her? “Hmm… well…” Sophia sighed and shifted her gaze away from Freya to Jeri." Here's an old friend who needs help. So, I thought you were the only one who could help, so I brought her. I wanted to notify you before coming here, but you did not answer the phone." “I see,” Freya said, reaching out her hand for a handshake with a lopsided expression." Hi, my name is Freya Elias. It is a pleasure to meet you." ‘Even though she dresses decently like every other staff member I have seen so far, she is still giving

“Are you really this stupid?” Margaret's voice thundered through the room. “ How could you keep this from me, Aysel? The man who was chosen for you wants to marry Jeri instead. And you thought I did not deserve to know?” Margaret's face turned beet red as she stood in the living room, her eyes blazing with rage. Aysel cowered in front of her, her eyes wide in fear. “I… I didn't want to hurt you, Mother. I knew you wanted me to marry him…” Aysel trembled, and her voice was barely audible. “You believe you are protecting me by keeping secrets? You are just as dishonest as your father!” Aysel flinched as her mother's words made her eyes well up with tears. “You are just like Jeri,” Margaret's rage grew even more intense." You always get what you want, but I end up with nothing! Aysel, you are going to regret not telling me the truth. Mark my words!" There was an obvious sense of tension in the room, a tension born of unspoken words and unresolved emotions. Aysel burst into tears a

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

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

“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.

“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?"
