MY EX-BOSS, MY LOVER Chapter 22
She stares at Jeremy, surprised. “W..What do you mean you can.. see and hear things in my eyes?”“The first time it happened was when I confronted you the day after you got discharged from the hospital. Remember when I was so out of it I held on your shoulders forcefully and faced you closely? That was when I saw scenarios in your eyes. I thought I was only overly stressed but it happened again on the night you witnessed me at my worst state at Campbell Park. That was one of the reasons I fell into extreme agitation.” Jeremy faces Serin closely. “And the third time was when we returned to Lewis from Gail’s party. What I experienced during that time was the most terrifying because I already heard myself wailing in the scenario, as if I was taken inside your eyes.”Serin falls into deep silence, unable to say a word, for Jeremy’s revelation is so painful to hear. One thing is for sure now. Jeremy has been in a serious, disturbing state. He has been hallucinating. It’s completely clear to

Five years ago.“What if I end up attending one of the unknown universities because of my school records and college entrance test scores? That will put you in shame. I don't think I can ever forgive myself for that.” Dave told his parents one morning while they were having breakfast in the garden.He was about to finish junior high and would soon enter senior high which was a crucial time for his college and future endeavors. Tony Sean held his hand. “We have come this far not to brag about what you can do for us in the future but to give you a beautiful life . You're not our investment, you are our son. We want you to prioritize your happiness over people's validation. What's wrong if you end up attending the least known school? What's wrong if you get ranked the lowest? What if your academic records are not that impressive? Will those define what kind of a person you are? Your mom and I just want you to live carrying the values we have imparted you, especially by living righteously

"You've been protecting Dave at all costs because that's what your mom had asked you. I'm sorry to say this, but you know what? Aunt Leona is not happy where she is right now." Chris already let out his frustration. Jeremy's deep guilt is frustrating Chris. His best friend does not deserve to miserably suffer because he has always been a good son and brother all this time. After drinking another shot, Ken wiped his wet lips. "I'm sure you know what Chris meant. Do you think Aunt Leona is happy despite your selflessly genuine effort to fulfill that fucking responsibility? Look at you, you are a lot more wrecked than Dave. You're not the one who committed that insane.." Murder. That word alone would definitely hurt Jeremy. Ken had to swallow his anger, so he

"Dad, try this. Yenny made this organic juice this morning. It will help you relax." Tony Sean's face lit up. The old man felt good because Dave seemed completely fine. But he had no idea that his son had been putting on an act since this afternoon for a reason. In just a few minutes, Tony Sean fell asleep. Dave put something in his drink. Since Yenny left, that box had kept bugging him. What if she got curious and opened it? He trusted her. But the thought of his mom, who had shown kindness to Yenny ever since, snatched his confidence. Paranoid, he came up with something. And that was to make his dad fall deeply asleep in case he had to confront Yenny for not doing what he had asked her to

"He actually came here to introduce his girlfriend to you." Ken responded, then he looked at Gail mockingly. "Formally." "What??" Gail suddenly felt annoyed, knowing that Serin was not actually Jeremy's girlfriend but a housemaid. And what annoyed her more was the heartbreaking scenario of Jeremy kissing Serin at Campbell Park, to think that they're not even in a romantic relationship. "Why? What's wrong with that?" Ken fueled Gail's annoyance. "Can't Jeremy introduce Serin to his friends?" Friends. That word alone was a slash in her heart, it was painful. Ken was right, she was just a friend. She and Jeremy were only friends.&nb

"Mysterious eyes?" Chris and Ken asked at the same time, flustered. "The first time I looked into her eyes, I saw flashing scenarios that were oddly familiar. But what's strange there is that I was in those scenarios. I saw myself. Even though they were flashing, I was sure that it was me. I thought I was only greatly distressed because of Dave, but I did experience it again. Remember when you talked to me regarding the new sketch she made? That night, when I met eyes with her, I saw scenarios for the second time. And.. a while ago, what I just encountered through her mysterious eyes is really agitating. Do you know why? Aside from seeing flashing scenarios, I also heard my own voice, screaming such a tormenting pain. That's the reason why I painfully screamed while confronting Serin in her room earlier." An overwhelming shock fe

Even though Dave's journal could confirm he did kill his mom, his psychological disorder could be used as an alibi, a form of defense, to get away from his serious crimes. Because of that voice recorder, Yenny listened to Dave when he had asked her to get inside. She fearlessly faced another unavoidable danger because she wanted to get her bag and escape with it. If Dave was cunning, Yenny was quick-witted. At that time, she easily came up with an effective approach. To appear vulnerable and defenseless just to trick Dave. She had to get the guy's trust again. And she did it. She was able to fool Dave with her sly pretense. Dave touched her face with fondness. "Leave early later, okay? Get my box and b

Following Jeremy from behind, Dave was wondering why his brother was in Horizon Town earlier than usual. Suddenly, it began to bother him. But the thought of Yenny and his box was freaking him out. Dave thought of distracting Jeremy. He would ask his brother to spend time with him in his room. But he stopped walking when he saw Jeremy go straight to the spacious hallway leading to the dining room and kitchen. "What the heck?" He cussed silently. Shaking his head, Dave just rushed upstairs, feeling more agitated. As soon as Jeremy reached the kitchen, the old lady welcomed him with a happy smile. He was clouded with heavy thoughts, but

That voice, he knew it.That was him, the old man whom he ran into Campbell Park across Tiffany Blue the night when odd occurrences terribly knocked him with shocking terror and absurd affliction.

Serin suddenly woke up. That scenario in her dream was filled with strange familiarity.That mountain. That sword. That guy. Those men on horses. That old man.She could not help but feel like she had already seen them before, not in her dreams but in real life.In haste, she left the bed and walked straight to the closet. As soon as she opened it, she got her black dress.Looking at the embroidered name on the back collar, she felt sudden pain.She did have a name but her identity had remained mysterious. Her memory was still completely empty.Eyes locked on her black

'I'm glad that you're finally here.. right next to me.' It was like a sweet tune to her heart. Serin flashed a warm smile. The pouring rain became a beautiful shower in her teary eyes.No more hesitation, Jeremy fearlessly faced her. The girl, who was standing before him, had given him unfeigned strength during his silent battles. He had yearned for her which felt like forever. Every day and every night, he had waited for this moment. If it's just a dream, he did not want to wake up. But Jeremy was not dreaming, it's real.

Five years ago."I will send you the exact address, sir." A male voice said on the other line."You have done such a great job. I will call you if I need something. Thank you." Dave ended the phone call. Nervousness began to tremble him while hurrying downstairs.Carl, the private detective that he had hired, managed to find Yenny in just four weeks.As soon as he walked past the living room, someone, who was comfortably sitting on the luxuriously-looking sofa, caught his eyes. He stopped walking. 'What is she doing here?'"Hi, Dave!" Gail greeted him. She rose up from sitting and walked to where he was standing. She was displaying her beautiful smile. "Where are you going? You must be in a rush.""What brings you here?" He asked coldly."You still have the courage to show up this house after you caused a scene here a month ago?" Jeremy showed up. He was talking about the nig

Gail simpered. "You think you can fool me??" Gail thought that Dave was just fooling around to tease her since he already knew that she had feelings for Jeremy."What if she really likes my brother, will you do something?""I won't do anything because that's not true and that will never happen." There was certainty in her voice. "Since when did you become fond of playing jokes on someone?She let out a heavy sigh. "Driving for almost three hours now must bore you. If boredom is killing you, play some music. Stop spitting non-sense.""What will I get if I play a joke on you?" He sounded so serious while his eyes were focused on driving.Gail looked at him. How his face plastered seriousness could tell that he was no longer teasing her. That's what Gail felt but the truth was, Dave was only acting. He had to fake seriousness in his voice and expression to persuade her that he was telling the truth.
