The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 38: Who Wants Her Dead?
"You have some nerve to lie through your teeth," Patrick Davis knitted his brows. If Jacques saw him now, she wouldn't believe this is her gentle uncle Pat."Haha... were you offended?" Alexander Volkonsky chuckled and seated himself on the bench.Patrick rolled his eyes and Rebecca held his hand with a smile. Seeing her beautiful smile, Patrick calmed down."I asked for your assistance four months back," Patrick complained.Alexander sighed. "I had bypass surgery and-""Liar!" Patrick interjected. "There was no news about that!""Oi, dimwit! When a company is worth billions, they won't announce the health scares of the founder unless they want the stocks to crash," he snorted."So you can't decide anything for yourself and your board members will be making the decisions about your life," Patrick smirked. " That is some life you are leading... Do you have autonomy over anything?"Alexander rolled his eyes. He couldn't deny what he said. "No, I weep as I lie on my bed framed with gold,

Jacques was avoiding her boss' phone calls since she knew why he calls. She had already spent the money he sent to her, to pay for Uncle Pat's medical bills and she cannot return the money to him.And she cannot ask TJ to stop threatening her boss, because her relationship with him is not good. Well, it is worse, to be honest.But she knew her boss cannot file a complaint against her since there is no proof that she extorted him for money. He sent the money of his own volition imagining that she is asking for money. He said it was her severance pay and she can spend it however she wants to."It's David Millman? Why is he calling you?" Jeremy asked. He hasn't received any report that Trevor Millman contacted the Shard Viper yet. So why is David bothering her? Is he trying to intimidate her?Jacques wondered if speaking the truth would change his mind. But she decided to give it a try since she didn't want him to go bankrupt without the supplies."Mr. Millman sent me severance pay and a

"You don't want him to know? He might make all troubles go away with a swish of his little finger. And Jerry... shouldn't he know?" Alexander asked Patrick.Both of them got tired after their verbal battle and became silent.Patrick pondered for some time. "No need. Just watch over Fitzgerald. Missy will be safe with him.""Do you not trust 'him'?" Alexander tried to stand up. He cannot be seen staying here for too long. Who knows how many eyes are watching him?Patrick took in a deep breath, "His Lordship respected him till his last breath but wanted to keep Missy safe from those around him. He wanted Missy to grow up like an average person. He believed that there is more freedom in being average.""Makes sense..." Alexander nodded. "Such a pity for a girl who had to be pampered with riches to suffer all through her life. 'He' should be giving back-""What's given is given, Alex," Rebecca interjected. "All he wanted was for his granddaughter's wellbeing. And Missy's suffering should

"So, the Davis family fed you?" Jeremy asked, trying to listen more. She suddenly turned quiet and he wanted to hear more of her voice. She is not screaming at him and talking to him and he was not willing to let go of this moment.He already knew all these things about her. And heaven only knows the joy he feels as she is opening up to him. Yes, he is an ass for getting happy for this, but he was happy. And she has him now and she doesn't have to worry about food ever again."Yes. And for a child who thought she'd die of hunger, that big bowl of mac and cheese, and a plate of spaghetti and meatballs they gave, was worth her life. How can you put value to one's life? So, I am very indebted to them and I don't think this much is enough," Jacques looked up. She interlocked her fingers together and her hands went cold speaking out her past trauma.She thought he'd mock her for her poor past, but was surprised when he was very quiet. His big hand patted her hands and she wanted to get her

On their way back, Jacques was happy her plans would succeed. Daisy said that she'll give her Now, all she has to do is clear the small garden area she saw in the house for her roses. She wondered if she should get the permission of the house owner to turn his outdoor space into a rose garden.She turned to look at him. With his brows knitted, he was rubbing his forehead and she gulped in fear. Her palm sweated and her heart pounded.The doctor definitely tattled! Oh, Jacques! You and your big mouth!Jeremy, in fact, was thinking about his meeting with his mother. She looked disappointed and sad, making him feel bad.'Jeremy, if you keep her locked up for the sake of protecting her, you might end up killing her soul. She might be safe, but she won't be the same as before. Just let her take a walk or give her something enjoyable to make her think living is worth it... Don't let her stay locked in.And... I don't know what you feel about Jacques and how serious you are with your marriag

Jacques was a little relieved after stopping the water, but she was still scared because she broke the tap. He was still standing behind her and she turned at him.Water was dripping from her hair and face, her clothes were soaking wet, and she shivered as the autumn wind blew."I'll..." she held out her hand to pass the handle to him. "I'll find a way to fix it..." she gulped and looked up. Seeing his expressionless face she got nervous and started to twist the hem of her shirt.Jeremy took in a deep breath and observed the little woman in front of him. Little drops of water were dripping from the tips of her hair that got lumped into beautiful curls.One drop fell right on her pink lips and another slid through her skin that has become translucent getting soaked in water. One drop fell on her shoulder and another on her...Her white sweatshirt has turned flimsy and is clinging to her skin as if it is her second skin. She clearly wasn't wearing any underwear and he could clearly see

"...Your husband!" he chuckled and kissed her neck, making her skin crawl. "I am proving to you that I am a man... your hands... Can you feel it? YOU made that happen. Not her! You... only you..."His voice got hoarse. With a hiccup, he rested his forehead on her collarbone.What kind of dream is this?Jacques, who had a deep sleep after a long time, couldn't figure out what was happening as she was still half-asleep. She tried to move her limbs, but her hands and legs were pinned making her trapped.It took her some seconds to gather her bearings.Her lips were slightly wet and in her hand, covered by his hand, she could feel the warm and thick thing that was slightly sticky. Her dress was pulled up and the man above her was burning like a furnace and stank of alcohol.She was not born yesterday... She knew what was happening here.Her heart pounded and she couldn't understand why he got like this out of nowhere. She could understand that he was drunk and was mad at her for some reas

In the evening, after taking the shower, Jeremy couldn't forget Jacques's image, all soaked up. Whenever he closed his eyes, all that came to his mind was her beautiful eyes, those pink lips, and her porcelain skin.He tried to distract himself by working in his shed, but he was restless and wanted to take a peek at her. She was just there in his house and it made his desire rise. He couldn't control himself and feared he might do something he will regret later.That's why when Mikhail asked him for a drink, he didn't refuse. He decided to stay out for the night to calm him down.Only after he went there, he was told that it was a party to celebrate his wedding. A few of them were married and they all started to tease him for falling into a trap. They started joking about how their lives turned miserable after their marriage and how it is better to be a bachelor for life.They started drinking and those men changed their tunes about marriage. They explained how getting married has its

The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 180 - Tempting Reveal
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
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 179 - Claws Of Death
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
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 178 - The Meeting
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
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 177 - Tiger Trouble
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
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 176 - She Was Eying Him But Behind Her Was...
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
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 175 - Feeling Tied
Jacques stayed silent as she didn't know what to say."I had terrible morning sickness and it was a time when I had a promising career ahead. I was just twenty-nine and I thought it was not the right time for the baby. So I..." Dr. Kruger took a deep breath."It's rare... complications after abortion... but...I became an Attending Physician... When I decided it is time for me to become a mother...It... five miscarriages, going through all the fertility treatments available, clinical depression, and a suicide attempt later, I quit my job and my husband brought me here. 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
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 174 - More Dates?
Sometime later, Scarlett's family joined them in the backyard and they all played games and chatted merrily. Except for Scarlett and Jacques, everyone else got drunk.Jacques helped Scarlett in taking care of the leftovers and cleaning the kitchen. 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. Jacques decided to drive Jeremy home but Dr. Kruger asked her to stay the night here since it had gotten late already."I can drive..." Jeremy said with a slur."Go to bed," Dr. Kruger patted his back."Yes, mom," Jeremy hugged her. "I love you, mom. So much.""Me too, Jerry. 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
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 173 - Happy Day
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... Linny... please... help me... I wasn't thinking..."Jacques almost stopped hearing that pitiful cry, but then she walked without stopping.It could have been me.Scarlett hugged baby Cia in her bosom as they walked at a larger pace towards Bobby's house. Soon after, they heard the sound of glass shattering on the floor, followed

"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. Jacques nodded with a smile.They predicted the next one to come for her under the nudge of Emma would be her stepmother.Jacques hasn't paid a cent for them for more than two months and they have never lived without her money and it would be hard for them to survive.They do not know how to spend thriftily and not to mention all the debts they are under.After talking to Gina, Jacques never cared for them. Although her stepmother would be too proud to talk to her, Emma would have found a way to make her come to her. And recently Charlie
