The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 58: Alone, As Always
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
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 59: Not Without Support
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
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 60: In His Jealousy He Belittled Her
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
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 61: Not In Front Emma
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
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 62: Grow Apart
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
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 63: Hurting Hearts
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
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 64: A Deed Done Without Much Thinking
Jacques saw those guys running towards Jeremy and they were holding something in their hands. She grew up in these situations and she knew those guys are holding little blades and the moment the opponent is open, they will stick it in one of their vitals resulting in a fatal ending.She observed if TJ had noticed the approaching men, but he was well-hidden in the darkness. And there seemed to be almost eight to nine men approaching him and she didn't think TJ could handle that many people with weapons in their hands.She wondered if she should alert TJ. But that might divert those guys towards them. TJ should be conscious of his surroundings as he is in danger all the time and she decided to wait and see. Gerard knitted his brows seeing Jacques looking in the direction of TJ. She didn't even look at his face. In the dim light, he could see the shine from her diamond ring. He noticed it back in Emma's home. She was proudly wearing it and she seemed so comfortable with it when usually
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 65: Be In A Triangle
Jeremy wished it was her and he wished it was not her. If it was her, it means she has no self-preservation and he needed to give her some lessons. He can protect himself, but she cannot involve herself in dangerous stunts like this.But why do I want to see her there? Why do I wish that this clumsy attempt to "help" me was undertaken by her?His legs started running towards the driver's side. Am I dreaming?From the distance, Gerard watched the woman he thought he knew well, rash driving towards a bunch of men. He couldn't fathom what she was planning to do. Because of the way she rushed forward, it seemed like she'd kill a bunch of men to save that one guy.Why? How did she change this much?She is not someone who gets involved in other's lives. But she has a strong sense of justice. That's why, against his advice, she became a witness to the harassment allegations of her boss' son.
