Lying on the floor, Jacques saw the beast, majestic as it is with its pointed ears, jumping down from the bed. Its collar made a slight clinking noise as it got down. It walked closer to her as if it didn't want to leave her alone. It was only then she noticed that its eyes were icy-blue.

Her heart calmed down a bit, but as someone who has never been around dogs much, she still was not relaxed. She once had a rescue cat, but it was already old and it died within a couple of years after she adopted it.

Still lying on her back, she extended her hand, and the dog stared back at her. She was scared to touch the dog and she decided to pull back her hand when the dog took a step forward and held her hand with its mouth.

Jacques's heart pounded as she felt the sharp teeth of the dog pressing on her hand, but the dog didn't hold it any more tightly. She calmed down seeing the icy-blue eyes of the dog met hers.

He looked really cute with the markings around his eyes and his fluffy tail was up

    Jacques felt her heart beating in her throat as she heard the two dogs growling at each other and just by TJ's voice, they went away as if they weren't aggressive a moment ago.His voice... she heard him commanding the dogs to go downstairs and the dogs left..!If so, why were the dogs in here in the first place? How did they open the door and enter?She heard his footsteps entering the room and she saw him standing in front of her. Maybe because of the stress, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach. Her entire body felt cold and she almost fainted.And then was his grating voice that seemed to hide a sneer as he explained that his dogs don't bite. It was as if he wanted to make fun of her for the fear of his dogs."Is everything fun and games to you, huh?"She looked at him. She was on her knees, while he was standing tall like a pine tree and it pricked her heart."Why?" her throat closed seeing him looking down at her. "How much more do you want me to suffer for your heart to get pac

    "Let go! You aren't even holding it right!"Jacques felt her wrist getting gripped hard and she couldn't hold on to the scissors anymore. With a clink, the scissors fell on the floor and she tried to struggle out of his grip. But she ended up tripping on his legs.Jeremy held the back of her head with one hand to keep it from getting hit on the floor, and his other hand pushed against the floor to stop him from crashing into her petite body as both of them fell on the floor due to her struggle.Her face was just inches from his face and her eyes that were red with anger and tears looked straight at his. This is the first time he's gotten this close to her while he looked straight at his eyes, and it made his heartbeat go berserk.His chest was pressed on hers and he could feel her heart pounding against his. And he had a feeling it was not for the same reason as his.He wanted to explain to her that he truly doesn't hate her and in fact, it is the opposite."I don't despise you," he s

    Jacques couldn't understand what was happening. One moment she was holding the scissors to kill him and the next moment she was pinned down by him on the floor. He said he didn't despise her and she figured he was searching for a stronger word than 'despise'.He got mad when she mentioned Gerard and then she opened a conversation to negotiate for her freedom and after that, he became weirder.What's with that...smile? Is that even a smile? Or is it something sinister? Is he trying to scare me? Oh, Jacques! You must have had balls of steel to suggest an exchange when he threatened to damage your baby's grave just moments ago... And there is a cut in his chest that is bleeding because you stabbed him with frigging scissors.There was silence for more than a minute and Jacques's brain went overdrive thinking of the possibilities. Her excitement gradually turned to anxiety.And what's with the position we are lying? Why isn't he getting up?As she was trying to read his face that was cove

    Jacques got so confused and paranoid and she kept on having nightmares during her sleep. Sometimes she felt like she was not exactly existing and was living someone else's life. She questioned whether everything happening to her, is actually happening or not.But then, she'd sit on the balcony beside the planter and the pain in her heart would remind her of everything that transpired in her life.That little plant will pull her back to reality each time she is about to lose herself.Thankfully, after that breakfast, she didn't see any of them for the next few days. But with no one disturbing her, she found herself losing time without knowing.Most of the time, she just lied on the floor and stared at the ceiling forgetting the time.

    "Stop!" Jeremy shouted and the next moment Jacques came to a halt. His powerful voice was not the reason, but it was because she heard a bunch of dogs barking. They were so loud as if they were expressing their displeasure on her since she defies their master's command.They sounded fierce and Jacques got scared. Her fingertips went cold and she wondered what he'll do to the planter if she steps out. He threatened to destroy the planter previously after all.She turned and faced the tall man once again. There rose the bitter feeling of resentment in her heart once more. But she needed to find a way to leave without letting him hurt her baby's grave.She racked her brain for answers, trying not to mind the pack of dogs behind the wooden fence leading to the backyard. She tried not to look at them, but her eyes got drawn to them.The gate was closed but the dogs barked loudly and tried to sneak out through the gaps in the fence. The Huskies were standing near the gate, seemingly guardin

    Jeremy felt stupid for trying to manipulate her this way along with the sadness he felt to see her hate-filled eyes.He decided it would be best for him to be straightforward. But he wondered if she'd believe him if he said that Millman might be responsible for hiring a gang to kill her. He decided to give it a try."Did you eat anything?" he asked, getting her hands off his collar. He knew she didn't eat anything in the morning.Noticing her wince a little he remembered the would in her hand and checked it. It hasn't healed in entirety, but it looked good.He could only feel sorry for her. His wound in the chest has already formed a scab and healed, but her wound still is not healed.Why would she hurt herself like this?"I'll get something once I-""Get in. Eat first. I'll go with you." He said and pointed at the door.Jacques didn't know what she should do. She definitely didn't want to go with him. and he was not meeting her eyes and she couldn't figure out what he was thinking."

    "I can't wait for long," Jeremy tapped his fingers on the receptionist's desk.The woman who seemed to be in her early twenties looked at him hiding her contempt. Surely her boss is not someone who considers meeting with someone wearing a flannel shirt and jeans a priority. He even drove a broken truck here.Is he some kind of beggar?"Sir, please wait for one more minute. I haven't gotten a reply from Mr.Millman's office yet," she said with her business smile."Sweetie, you've said that for the past five minutes. Now, call him directly," he wasn't willing to move."Sir, we have to follow our procedures. I cannot call our CEO directly," she said politely and picked up the receiver of the phone that rang."I don't have time for all your procedures," Jeremy pulled the receiver from her hand. "Get David on the line. Tell him Jacques Hopkins' husband wants to meet with him. The name is Jeremy Fitzgerald."The receptionist was startled by the crude behavior of the guy and called for securi

    Jeremy tried to regain his balance after he was pushed and he saw the little figure falling on the floor. He balanced himself and saw the little figure kneeling as the tiger was in an attack stance.Oh, No!Jacques was not willing to die."No, Khan!" She shouted and crossed her forearms to cover her face. She shut her eyestightly as if that would have her.Her voice was loud and clear and that was followed by Wyatt's authoritative command."Khan, stay."Just a second after Jacques felt something warm and soft hugging her and she opened her eyes to see little Benny hugging her.She felt a strong pull from behind her and a lot of shouts. Thankfully she didn't hear any weapon going off.She saw the distance between the tiger and her increasing and the big cat getting pulled back by Wyatt.She didn't know how it happened but the tiger looked calmer now."You okay, Jacques?" That familiar voice was shaking in terror and the next she felt was everything around her blackening as she was surr

    Jacques's heart pounded looking at the sharp eyes of Wyatt. The tiger was staring right at her and licked its lips.Jacques felt a shiver passing through her spine.Fear of death...She used to foolishly think for some time that death would end it all and death is a sweet release from worldly troubles.But now, facing the big threat in front of her, she realized that she wanted to live more than she thought she did.She gulped seeing Wyatt taking a puff with an odd smirk looking at her. She was terrified.But she stared right back at Wyatt. She remembered Jeremy's words that even Shaun's boss cannot hurt her.I am Joel's woman. I cannot show myself to be weak when he is near me!She felt a big hand enveloping hers. That familiar big hand was rough and warm.Yeah, I am in the safest place on earth.I am by Joel's side!"Come to the point, Wyatt. Don't waste my time," Jeremy said, placing her hand on his lap.It was like he is assuring her that he is by her side and no one can touch her

    Jacques couldn't take her eyes off the little boy with pretty green eyes. Those eyes reminded her of Gerard and the baby she lost.She fixed the long unkempt hair of the boy by running her fingers through them. The boy had a pleasing smile. He was shy at first but then started to play with her hair.She got some snacks for the boy from the others and he was happily chomping on them while talking non-stop.Should I just bring him with me?Jacques wondered. His father left him out in the cold. He wouldn't mind if someone else raises his son, right?But... She was told that Wyatt came running here as soon as he heard the news that his son is with Jeremy. News from Wyatt's town is that he was searching every nook and corner of his town for his son.Ugh!Jeremy, sitting at a distance from her, watched her without blinking. She was casually wiping the boy's snot, wiping his face, and was holding him the whole time.And the smile on her face...He could see a different kind of smile on her f

    And that's when she saw some movement behind the tiger. She thought she saw a piece of clothing sometime before, but she dismissed it.But now, that piece of clothing has moved.Is that a child?All of a sudden, she could move. She saw Jeremy pointing the weapon at the tiger and there were some tens of the volunteers pointing their weapons."Don't shoot!!!" Jacques waved her hand and walked towards the tiger.She wasn't thinking about anything but that child. They might shoot at the tiger but the child is bound to get hurt.Jeremy was stunned.Is she really walking towards the tiger? Is she trying to protect the tiger? She was scared of the huskies and now she is walking towards a....Is she stupid?He signaled others not to shoot but his weapon was trained on the tiger."Reckless idiot!" he mumbled, seeing the tiger crouching a bit as if it was going to lunge.Second, he felt his heart slipping to the pit of his stomach. He heard a ringing noise in his ear and his eyes darkened.The t

    Jacques was surprised to see the number of pickup trucks lined up in the road. Noticing Jeremy's car, they all gave way to him. She oddly felt proud, although she knew this respect was for Jeremy.He's the King, alright?She didn't think that many would volunteer for this when today is Black Friday and was impressed.Rather than shopping for Christmas, they preferred to help every kid have a Christmas tree in their home?"That's a lot of volunteers," Jacques said."Yeah, every year the number of volunteers is increasing and the number of trees needed is decreasing," Jeremy said, waving his hand to Charlie parking his truck."So more people are buying fake Christmas trees these days?" Jacques said with a chuckle."Ha... That's a very genius observation, Chippy! "Jeremy turned to look at her with a teasing smile."Chippy? Not you too, Brutus," she hit him in the arm.Actually, she understood what that meant. It just means the prospects of the households in this area is getting better an

I was just twenty-nine and I thought it was not the right time for the baby. So I..."

John... he was my pillar of support..." Dr. Kruger wiped her eyes."No one here knows this... Not even Jeremy..."Jacques got up and squatted beside Dr. Kruger and held her hand. She could feel the pain in the doctor's heart."I got better here. My husband, bless his soul, he's the one good thing I did right in my life. He did a lot for me, lost a lot for me, but he never even thought of losing me... And Jeremy... When w

Then Scarlett decided to stay in her parents' home and Scarlett's brother helped bring Bobby there.Both Jeremy and Bobby were too drunk to drive.

I love you," Dr. Kruger said with a chuckle and patted his back."Jeryl...Jerly...Jacques..." he started giggling as he slurred.He walked towards Jacques holding out his hands, "My wife, my love... here... let me..." he puckered his lips and tried to kiss her.Maybe he was seeing double, he couldn't quite catch her lips and

    Jacques once accidentally got in contact with acid when she was in school. It was just a drop and the acid wasn't very concentrated and even then it gave her a first-degree burn.If this acid is for hurting her, it should be a concentrated acid.How much will it hurt if Jeremy pours it on Stella? Won't her bones melt?A shiver ran down Jacques's spine.Wait...It could've been me!That acid... it might have landed on my face!Viper... Viper is the guy who wants me dead and this woman for her own benefit made a deal with him!Without saying anything, Jacques turned to walk inside.Stella's sobs intensified and she knelt on the floor knowing her fate."Please...

    "Stella!"Hearing Jacques walking closer, Jimmy stepped aside.Jacques's stepmother walked in with a bright smile replacing the scowl she had till then, as soon as she heard Jacques."What brings you here?" Jacques put on a bright smile to match her stepmother's."Oh, dear," Stella wrapped her arms around Jacques for a hug and Jacques put up with it.She saw Scarlett behind Stella and she pulled out her phone to record after passing the baby to Bobby.
