The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 22: His Decision Moving Forward
"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
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 23: He Taught Her How To Kill Him
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
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 24: Generous Offer
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. Sometimes she wondered if TJ would accept the offer for her company. Other times, she just stared blankly.At times, she sensed little flutters in her stomach as if she was pregnant and then there would be heaviness hitting her heart, making her cry uncont

The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 26: Unexpected Twist of Events
"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
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 27: Running Away
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."
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 28: Creating a Commotion
"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
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 29: Aristocratic Lineage
Hearing some scratching noise, Jacques looked at her bedroom door. She figured it must be the dog and decided to open it."In the end, you succeeded in becoming one of us..."David Millman said and Jacques's hand that reached to the doorknob paused."You aimed for my son but failed. And now you climbed much higher in the ladder... getting a Fitzgerald!" he snorted and Jacques's eyebrows twitched out of anger.What in the everloving hell! What is this fresh bullsh!t this guy is spouting! He is suggesting that I am a social climber? And when did I ever aim for that methhead son of his? I wanted him to get arrested!"Since that is the case, settle my severance paycheck immediately."Although she wanted to speak more, she ended the call. Her chest heaved up and down with anger.How dare he call me a social climber? Did I even want this? I always tried to stay away from the millionaires and billionaires. I love money, but I know too much of it brings trouble. I know I will be happy as an u
