Love, Lies And Hidden Truths Danger Lurking in the Shadows
“How did it go, Jeri?" Aysel inquired as she leaned forward, anticipating Jeri's response. “ Since you returned, there hasn't been any trace of happiness in your face. Did Darien tell you where to find the old man?" Jeri, who sat opposite Aysel, her face clasped in her palms, finally lifted her head to speak. The entire family of Mr. Elias, Sophia, and Aysel gazed at Jeri, their minds racing with questions. “I wasn't only met with what I was expecting, but with something strange. Something more dangerous than I can ever imagine," Jeri spoke, her eyes wide with terror. "What's it, Jeri? Tell us,” Mr. Elias quickly said, his ears itching to hear what happened at Darien's office. "I got to Darien's office, and to my greatest amazement, I was met with Darien, Adrian, and Mr. Ravenwood, sitting together and discussing how to bring down my business if I continue to fight against their business dealings.” "Huh?” Freya gasped. " You mean Mr. Adrian, my boss, and Darien are working hand
Love, Lies And Hidden Truths The Mysterious Stranger
Both Jeri's convoy and that of Mr. Elias set out for the road, heading to Dr. Emiliano's residence where Jeri had gone twice and didn't see him.Within a few minutes of driving, they arrived at the old man's house. Jeri, Aysel and Freya dropped from the car after the car doors were opened for them. However, Mr. Elias and Sophia were asked to stay back in the car while they went to survey the house.They looked around the house, but there was no movement, let alone a figure of anyone.Jeri exhaled deeply, walked up to the small house and stood at the entrance, her mind racing. Although there were bodyguards armed with guns, the three ladies were scared to knock on the door. Jeri turned around, and gestured to one of her guards to knock on the door. The young obeyed with a slight bow. He approached the door and as he lifted his hand to knock on the door, he abruptly stopped after a voice echoed from the background."You're looking for Dr. Emiliano," a young man in a complete black d
Love, Lies And Hidden Truths The Clock Tower Meeting
Jeri stood at the entrance of the old clock tower, her heart racing with anticipation and fear. She had no idea what to expect, but she was determined to find Dr. Emiliano, hoping to find her mother as well after this.Her guards escorted her until she found herself standing at the entrance. Jeri's allies stopped at a distance, waiting for a signal if anything happened during the meeting. As Jeri stepped inside, two men dressed in suits stepped forward and stopped her from taking any step further.Without saying a word, one of the men extended his hand, gesturing for Jeri to handover everything that she came with. Jeri rolled her eyes without uttering a word as well. She handed her purse to them but didn't give out her phone.“You can't go with that, madam," one of the men said, pointing at her phone.“Why?" She asked, her brows furrowed.“It's an order from our boss. So please give it to us," the young replied, his hand stretched out.She handed the phone to them, her eyes narrowe
Love, Lies And Hidden Truths A Threat To Expose The Truth
With that, Adrian disappeared into the shadows, leaving Jeri behind.Jeri stood there dumbfounded, her heart pounding heavily against her chest, wondering what to do. Perhaps it was time to report these CEOs for their illegal activities. However, what was holding her back was the threat. Although she was displaying how terrified she was about the whole thing, she was confused of how to handle the situation without her business being tempered with.With a heavy heart, Jeri turned around and left the small room. She headed to where she left her allies.As she approached them, everyone gazed at her, expecting good News. Before she could arrive at where they were standing, Sophia rushed to her.“How did it go?" Sophia curiously asked, as they walked back to the others. “ Where's the old man?" Jeri didn't respond, rather, she kept walking to where the remaining people were standing. Just after she arrived, she proceeded and said, “ I guess it's time we keep Aysel's case aside and focus
Love, Lies And Hidden Truths The 24-Hour Countdown
Now, Jeri, Aysel, Freya, and Sophia found themselves in Darien's office, ready to confront him.They all stood before him, their arms folded above their chest as though they were there to fight him.“If I may ask, what's all this drama about?" Darien inquired, his gaze skeptical as he sat on his executive office chair, his hands resting on the office table.“Darien,” Freya responded after exchanging glances with the other three ladies. “ We are here to address some issues that need to be tackled before they get worse.”"You are here to address an issue?” Darien frowned, as he assumed Freya had revealed to Jeri what happened between him and her mother many years ago. " What issue are you talking about? Because I can't remember telling you that I have any issues that need someone to help me out of.”"Look, Darien,” Jeri jumped into their conversation, " we are not here for some silly conversations, rather, to educate you about your mother's evil plan against you and your entire househol
Love, Lies And Hidden Truths A Surprise Reunion
While they were driving home, something caught Jeri's attention from the roadside. She immediately informed her guards to stop, which they did.Dropping off the car, Jeri ran up to an old man who was standing by the roadside with an umbrella above him.“Dr. Emiliano," Jeri called out, her voice barely audible as she tried to find out who the old man was.The old man lifted his head and gazed at Jeri who was staring at him with skepticism.Immediately they had eye contact, the old man was taken aback after realizing who was standing in front of him."Jeri," Dr. Emiliano said, his voice weak but warm. "I've been waiting for you."Jeri rushed to his side and tightly embraced him, relief washing over her. The two hugged each other like a father and a daughter who hadn't seen each other for years."Dr. Emiliano, I've been searching everywhere for you." Jeri said after breaking the hug. " Where have you been all this while?” Dr. Emiliano's eyes clouded. "I know, Jeri. I've been hiding. Fr
Love, Lies And Hidden Truths Beneath The Surface
“Yes sir." Jeri nodded as she sat with her legs crossed, anticipating what the old man would say.“Well," he said, “ my real name is not Dr. Emiliano but Dr. Williams Gregory.”"What?” Jeri gasped, her eyes widened in astonishment.“Yes, Jeri, that's my name," the old man explained. " However, Darien has no idea what my real name is.”"Why?" Jeri quickly asked with skepticism."Because I kept it a secret from him. Someone who knew me from a coffee shop brought Darien to me because the young man in question believed that I was in the best position to assist Darien achieve his goal. This young man, however, doesn't know that Darien was my grandson, neither does Darien know.“When they came seeking help from me, I immediately told myself that this is my grandchild because he looks so much like his father. I was expecting Darien to recognize me, as his father might have shown him the pictures of his grandfather. Unfortunately, Darien failed to recognize his grandfather.“I used the littl
Love, Lies And Hidden Truths Unmasking The Killer
Before the old man could shut his mouth, Sophia inquired, “ Does that mean the search for your mother's whereabouts is over?”“Why should the search for my mother be over, Sophia?" Jeri responded, “ my plan was to help Aysel before I could mention it again. However, as it stands now, I think I would have to get answers to all my questions concerning my mother's whereabouts as Aysel's case is getting lengthy and more complicated.”“No, Jeri," Freya cut into their conversation as she understood Jeri was about to throw a question at her. “ Remember our agreement? We agreed that I will tell you everything I know about your mother's whereabouts only after we've solved the current situation. Wasn't that our agreement?”"Of course, we all know that was our agreement, Freya," Jeri countered. “ But why were you threatening to report Darien to the police if he failed to report himself? Isn't it obvious that there's something fishy between you both? Again,

Love, Lies And Hidden Truths Love Conquers All (THE END)
"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
Love, Lies And Hidden Truths The Sins of the Parents
“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
