The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 67: Not Monster
"Yeah, Emma got my knife to cut the apple. It was weird. Today I searched for it in the cabin and found it under the bed." Charlie didn't know why his boss was asking all these, but he answered anyway."Okay then... you know what to do with those guys. Figure out if they are connected to Mosely." Jeremy said and closed the door.Under the bed? Did Jacques store it there for future use? She said she finds those kinds of places as safe places. But if she was planning on using it, why didn't she take it with her during her escape?And Emma... did she bring the knife to Jacques to share the apple with her? And Jacques might have got triggered thinking she was bragging and tried to stab her? But Jacques said there was no struggle between them. I should talk to Emma.Jacques kept the jewelry she was wearing safe in her closet and changed. She went to the balcony to check up on the planter. Squatting beside the planter, she sighed. She didn't know what she was doing as everything seemed mu

"It's..." Jeremy gulped looking at her reddened eyes. He bowed his head realizing his mistake.Marriage is not something to be taken lightly. It is a covenant made between two people in love. Some consider it sacred. And he thought of it as some deal that would keep her safe and close to him without even considering her feelings."You're easily saying that I can get back with Gerry after you let me go. What will you do if I want to continue my relationship with Gerry while I am married to you on paper?" She looked at him.It only hit her when he barged into her room claiming he is her husband. He used to like her and he has some awareness that he is her husband. So, how is he sure he will let her go?"No way!" Jeremy said without thinking. "What is the difference? You're saying you'll annul the marriage and that means our marriage is not valid. So why can't I meet others? Are you afraid that you'll be called a c**k by your peers?" she looked at him and he gulped.Because I love you,

Jacques tried to do some work at Jeremy's desk. Just an hour ago, he called her and told her to do whatever she wants as he won't be in the office in the morning. Apparently, he is meeting his dear sister. And this was the first time he called her phone and she stored his number.Since she was given no tasks to do, she used the time to revamp her company's website. She knew web designing and she changed the website to be more attractive to women. She had some plans for the collector's items and she decided to visit her company as soon as possible.Jeremy's computer had the latest specifications and it was easy to work with and Jacques, with no guilt, did her personal work in her office time. She stretched herself after concentrating for a while and her eyes ended up on the bag containing the lunch. She took a peek and it contained a generously big sandwich.When was the last time someone packed lunch for me?Her dad used to pack lunch for her when she was starting elementary school.

Emma wiped her eyes the moment Jeremy left in his car. He acted as usual with her and she just cried without speaking anything more since she didn't know how much Jeremy knows.As a veteran of lying, she knew speaking a lot is never good. She barely got away with saying that she almost got stabbed by Jacques. If Jeremy was not such an emotional idiot, she couldn't have gotten away. If Jacques went along with her, or just ended the call just how she usually does, this issue would have been resolved. Emma couldn't understand how Jacques had changed so much. Now Jeremy won't leave it as it is.You dared to talk back to me, Jacques? Karma will get me? Heh! Karma is the bane of your existence; not mine! You will suffer for taking my place! I should be the one adored by everyone; not you! "Move," the dry voice of Gerard snapped her out of her thoughts and she looked at him with a smile. Wearing a gray tailored suit, he looked dapper.How can I let him go?"Are you leaving for work? You di

One by one the others started to leave the garden and the place became silent."I talked to her recently, but she didn't mention calling me. So she called?" Jacques decided to speak her mind. These past few months had entirely destabilized her. A lot has happened around her while she was totally ignorant."Yes, there were some ten or so missed calls and she even went to your apartment-""Why wasn't I informed..." Jacques wanted to raise her voice, but she held back to not scare the baby."You weren't informed? You were trying hard to escape, not believing the threat on your life. Even Bobby got angry at your antics. Do you know how you were hunted a month back? The Shard Viper's people roamed around the streets with military-grade weapons and they had orders to kill you on sight. Even law enforcement officers were spying on behalf of him..."Scarlett got close to Jacques and whispered, "Jerry wanted to keep this from you, but... one university student was killed with twenty-one bullet

Jeremy staggered hearing what Jacques said. He stood supporting himself in the trunk of the tree. His chest felt heavy and he took deep breaths to help him breathe. She didn't elaborate, but she revealed a pretty shocking incident.Emma had told her that Jacques had no one. The knife Emma left was there and she tried to off herself forgetting that she was pregnant. But she stopped herself and she ended up losing her baby anyway. How much did she suffer that day? He didn't think she was lying. Her weeps originated from her gut and he could see she was broken even remembering that day. And the other day when he mentioned Emma at the diner, she got sick. She is not lying. She is greatly affected by what happened.He can understand why she is blaming herself for the miscarriage when she used to blame him before. Grieving for someone you lost is a very complicated thing. You'll try to find reasons and then you end up blaming everything. He went through grief and he understood her.Leanin

Thinking about her miscarriage made her want to cry more, but then she tried to distract herself. Her eyes were puffy and she didn't want to enter the office now. "Bobby was pretty happy that you didn't run away scared from him that day," Scarlett asked after a while and Jacques smiled with embarrassment."I used to be very scared of him and everyone near TJ... But they've done a lot for me without any appreciation from me. I don't know how I will repay them all," Jacques fiddled with her fingers. She was moved after knowing everything."They didn't do it for you, but for Jerry...." Scarlett said and Jacques looked at her. "Everyone here owes one or two to Jerry; even Bobby. So they won't ever question him.""I know... I used to be scared of that aspect too. When Bobby bragged about how they handled their enemies, I took it as he was threatening me... I feel stupid now that I know the truth." Jacques said."Haha...So that's how Bobby thought he was helping Jerry! Since I thought of h

"Anything," Scarlett said, seeing the serious but hesitant face of Jacques. "Thank you... It's... will you please keep what I said before, about me trying to you-know-what as a secret? Please keep it from Bobby too. I know it is too much of me to ask this, but I don't want Emma to know. Bobby will tell Jeremy and Jeremy will tell Emma and she'll laugh at me," Jacques started mumbling the last sentence. "Got it," Scarlett agreed. Even if he is her husband, she knows she cannot talk about other people's secrets with him.And Emma... she is vicious, isn't she?Although Jacques didn't elaborate, Scarlett understood that Emma's words were very hurtful for Jacques. It is not news to her that Emma hates Jacques, but she is holding on to the hate for a decade which was a little surprising for her.As someone who knows Jerry the longest, her words would mean a lot to Jerry, but when it comes to Emma, he won't listen to her or anyone else. She tried to talk to Bobby about Emma, but for those

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

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
