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

    Jacques gulped seeing the big black iron gates of the mansion in front of her. They are currently in front of Jeremy's father's mansion.She was refreshed after breathing in the salty seawater, but then Jeremy told her they'd be visiting his parents to talk about their "wedding". She had no way to refuse him and her mood got spoiled.He said they won't be there for long and even bought her dinner already. But she was not in the mood to meet Emma today.Jeremy felt bad seeing her struggling to even unbuckle her seatbelt. She had gone pale."Is it okay to leave that expensive box there?" she bit her lips. She wanted to stay in the car or just run away."No one will open my glove box. We can keep it safe once we reach home," he knew she did not want to get down. He wasn't trying to ruin her mood. He remembered his mom's advice not to let her meet Emma and so he decided to meet his " parents" today before Emma returns.He has to do it, otherwise, poor Emma won't hear the end of it from h

    Emma and Jeremy walked in the front and Jacques followed them. Gerard stopped to join Jacques, but seeing Emma's glare he walked beside her. She hooked her arm with Gerard's and although he was stiff, he didn't refuse her.Guess he is getting along with his wife really well!Jacques silently sighed seeing Emma chatting carelessly with Jeremy and Gerard. Some people have the luck to get surrounded by people for one reason or another. While some are destined to walk alone.I am the latter. Why can't I get used to it? Gerard wanted to get out of Emma's hold. He knew Emma is doing this on purpose to show off to Jacques. But then he couldn't get over the fact that Jacques let another man touch her in front of him. He wanted to show her how it feels to be on the receiving end of jealousy and so he endured Emma's claws on him.Jeremy, on the other hand, couldn't listen to a single word Emma spoke as his mind was entirely occupied with Jacques. He heard the sound of her heels against the mar

    Jeremiah Harrison knitted his brows. The belligerent son of his never brought home a woman and there were all kinds of rumors surrounding him. Rumors like he likes "little" girls and men. Both cannot be true, but in either case, he cannot sire children.That was fine because...then the billions that [email protected] owns will be inherited by his children and grandchildren. He made sure they are his next of kin. But to rain on his parade, he brings home a woman? And she looks healthy...She looks like a girl but she has the hips for childbirth...and young; very young. She's pretty. She'd be prettier with a little surgery in the chest.Jacques could feel the lecherous eyes on her and her lips curled with disgust. Who would look at someone the same age as their daughter with such eyes? And even after meeting him in the eyes, he still stared at her in a lewd way.What a shameless pervert!She subconsciously leaned closer to Jeremy and his hold on her waist tightened."I'm here to introdu

    Harold took charge after Jeremy's boorish behavior and started to inquire about Jacques's company. "I've never heard of it," he said and Jacques was not offended. Her company is not a big name and not many know of it. It was then she saw Emma smirking at Jennifer.Wait... so her family might know who I am already? Is Harold throwing shade at me? And they think I will bow my head in shame because my company is small? Why would I?"Oh," she said with a forced smile to end the conversation between them. She does not like disingenuous people."Yeah, most don't know of it. It's just a small company in Peyton with less than five thousand turnover per month," Gerard said and Jacques couldn't understand why he speaks for her. "Oh, that small? I thought it would be bigger. 'She's the CEO of Hopkins Glassware'," Jennifer chuckled with a mocking sneer imitating Jeremy.Jacques didn't like getting mocked in front of Emma and maintained her stern eye contact with Jennifer. Maybe because Jennifer

    Jacques winced and her heartbeat quickened hearing the crashing of the vase when she least expected it. She bent to see the vase broken to shills right beside TJ's feet. She didn't fail to notice TJ blocking her feet with his and no shards ended up near her, but it spread everywhere else in the room.Emma's mother covered her mouth with her hands and her eyes became teary."Jeremy!" Jeremiah shouted and Jeremy smirked."Well, y'all should look for durability and other things offered by synthetics... You know what they say about glass houses and all..." he looked at Harold and Jeremiah started coughing again. Is he saying that his family doesn't have class?Jacques wanted to laugh but she held her laughter. She didn't think TJ would act juvenile; that he'd break stuff to show his displeasure.Why did he get angry again? Was it for me or is he just using me to show his anger at his family?Eh, who cares! This is the first time someone talked this openly for me and took my side. But I c

    Jacques stood near the Jeep and her chest felt heavy. The way Gerard looked at her got imprinted in her heart and his gentle voice that was trembling when he asked her what was wrong with her, hurt her. She only then realized something. He must have been shocked to learn that she is married to TJ just like she was when Emma mentioned her wedding with Gerard. He might even be thinking that she married TJ to get back at him.I don't want him to misunderstand.Although she had decided that she should have nothing to do with Gerard anymore, after seeing his hurt face, her heart wavered. "Shall we leave?" TJ's voice came from behind her."Mmm..." She tried to open the door as if it was a doorknob by turning it when it should be pulled.Jeremy opened the door for her as she appeared absent. "Jer, wait...Please, just one minute," Gerard's voice came from behind when she kept her one foot in the car and Jeremy clenched his fists. He felt a sharp pain in his chest when she stepped out of t

    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

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...

    "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.
