Bobby paused screwing in the lock and turned to look at Jacques. He leaned on the door frame with a smirk.

"Well, look who's not scared of me anymore!"

Jacques shrugged with a smile. She wasn't that scared of Bobby anymore. She herself didn't know the reason. Maybe it is because he is married with a child. Scarlett seemed like a smart woman and if she married him, he must have something good, right? Also, after getting to know Daisy, she realized Bobby inherited her smile. And someone who was raised by that kind woman cannot be that bad, right?

Whatever the reason is, Jacques was not that scared of him.

"Well, who used to block me and act rudely with me when I was minding my business?" she asked back.

"Acted rudely? Trying to chat with you is 'rude'? Telling you that you were one of us is 'rude'?" he scoffed and he looked disappointed.

"One of yours?" Talia was shocked and her eyes widened. "You would be saying stuff like 'we', 'us' and how you handle 'them' who goes against you... Do

    Jacques held the knob of the door to close it but she couldn't. She remembered TJ was warm when he embraced her before. And the way he suffered when he had the panic attack made her feel bad. But then she was a little scared that she'd get attacked like before.Sigh!She closed the door and lied on the bed. She tried to sleep, but she couldn't. She wondered if people would die of high fever and google said that they can. It gave her a fright. She wondered if something happened to TJ, she might get blamed.Ah... I will make him take a pill!She got up and walked to her first aid box. She remembered that there were some antipyretic drugs. As she pulled open the drawer, her eyes got drawn to her balcony. The door was closed, but she could see the little planter out there through her heart.Her hand holding the drawer handle paused. She stood straight taking in a deep breath. Her eyes teared up.Yeah, so what if he has a fever? I lost my baby because of him!She went back to bed and cried

    Jacques thought they' be going to the Corporate Office of the Fitzgerald Lumber Corp. located in the port city of Latson, but she was taken to the Registered Office in Peyton. The old building was there for more than a century as this was used by the Fitzgerald family.Scarlett told Jacques that TJ uses this office still although he has a lavish office in the Corporate office building too. She explained how even after expanding the business to an international level, he still is the same and uses the office as a tribute to his adoptive father."He was adopted by Mr. Fitzgerald?" Jacques was surprised.Scarlett let out a deep breath at Jacques's question. It seemed like Jacques knew nothing about Jeremy.She used to be in the 'gang'! She used to follow around Jacques in their "patrols". She watched how Jacques never gave a chance to TJ. But she never refused him either.At least tell him that he has no chance with you and put him out of his misery – she wanted to shout it to Jacques.S

    "I didn't finish my assignment... But it was the deadline and that teacher will reduce marks for tardiness. I knew I had to submit something if I had to get my scholarship... That day Emma asked me to take a printout of her assignment and I..." Jacques took in a deep breath, rubbing her temples. Her head hurt remembering the mistake she made."I took two copies and...I was wrong..." she looked at Scarlett and she had no change in expression when she expected disgust. "I thought I could replace it with my own the next day, but the teacher started correcting the same day and he found two exactly the same assignments... Plagiarism is considered a crime and it would lead to immediate expulsion from the school... The matter was immediately informed to the Principal. I was up for a scholarship – I needed that scholarship...""So you lied even after Emma begged you to tell the truth?" Scarlett asked. At least that's what Emma said and Jacques's story is the same."She begged me to tell the t

    When Jeremy came to his office, his heart melted to a puddle seeing her sleeping. With her head resting on the table, she looked cute.He got close to her and his hand naturally went to pet her head, but he held himself back. Bending to her level, he looked at her face. She looked peaceful as she slept.All I want is for you to be peaceful, my Luna...He talked to his shrink and she suggested staying away from her if she triggers his attacks. But how could he do that?He might not be her lover, but she is a member of his pack forever. As an alpha, he must protect her and he will just do that.Jacques was in her dreams. She was walking through an unfamiliar forest and her heart pounded as there was only the gentle moonlight to illuminate the way. In the distance, she saw a couple of blue wisps floating around. She was drawn to them and walked closer, but as she got closer, the wisps started to rise up. It was then she realized that the mesmerizing blue orbs were the eyes of a big monst

    "Jacques..." Jeremy gulped. He didn't know how she'd react but he wanted to explain it properly. She seems to think this is going to be a business meeting, but it is a personal one. He already prepared proper words to explain, but seeing her amber eyes, he forgot everything."Grandpa wants to meet my wife and look at you... honestly, you don't look like my wife," he said and watched her eyebrows furrow.Oops! Did I say something wrong?"Okay..." Jacques said, controlling her anger. She wanted to think that he was making fun of her dressing sense, but she forced herself to not think that way. "What should a lumberjack's wife wear anyway?" she failed within three seconds and took a jab at his dressing sense. She didn't understand why she couldn't keep her composure with this guy every time.She thought she was taking a shot at him and felt bad not knowing Jeremy is currently on cloud nine.She admitted that she is my wife again!"I'm sorry-" Jacques's soft voice was buried by his deep

    Jacques looked at herself in the mirror. Wearing the expensive earrings and the dress, she looked different even in her own eyes. She looked attractive and regal. Guess you get what you pay for!She thought TJ would be ready by now and was about to open the door when she heard a knock at the door.She opened the door, and there he was - the glorious wolf, standing in front of her with just a towel tied around his waist.Is he a nudist?"Help me choose my suit," he leaned at her and she saw his face turning from a playful smirk to awe."You look pretty, Jacques," he said, taking a couple of steps back to have a good look at her."Step aside," she walked past him towards his room. She certainly didn't want to hear his compliment, but he seemed so genuine and it gave a weird feeling in her heart. She is his secretary anyway and it is not wrong to choose his suit. And she wanted to get away from him."Stay here," she pointed her finger at him and he nodded with a grin. She went inside

    "Did Patrick talk about me?" Alexander Volkonsky asked."Uncle told me you were friends growing up..." Jacques said with a smile. She knew her uncle hides a lot from her, but she wasn't that interested in knowing all that too. Her uncle behaved a little...weird. His home is a small suburban home, but the decor would be similar to what she saw in Downton Abbey. Everything will be chosen by her aunt - the wallpapers, drapes, rugs and whatnot.She was treated as someone superior in her uncle's house. Even their children had to act respectful to her even though she was younger than them and she was there to share their food.She could see Mikhail treating TJ almost the same way although they shared friendship."Here... I have a picture..." Alexander showed an old black and white picture on his phone. There was a group of well-dressed boys and he could hear where he and uncle Pat were standing."Is this Aunt Becky? And... He looks like my grandpa!" She looked at him and there was no repl

    "I can't believe what happened there... I pinched myself and it hurt... It did happen right..? Right TJ? "Jeremy smiled looking at the little woman by his side. She's been speaking non-stop ever since they got in the car.She was oddly composed the entire time she was with Alexander Volkonsky and the moment she got in the car, she started speaking in a high-pitched voice. "It did! You did it! Your company got a six-figure worth deal!" He raised his hand with a chuckle and she gave a high five. "Yes! "He has never seen her this happy and this was the first for him. He would have never guessed she'd get loud out of happiness. "Wait... I have to prepare for a lot of orders... The equipment, the furnace... "Jacques started to worry. Her company is built for producing in the hundreds. Anything of higher capacity cannot be handled.Even Mikhail's endorsement means nothing when she cannot handle the influx of orders. She has to revamp their website and make sure the supply meets the d

    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..." Dr. Kruger took a deep breath."It's rare... complications after abortion... but...I became an Attending Physician...

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

    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

    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.
