The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 91: Knowing The King
"Gerard... It might be hard to fathom, but the timing she says this... Are you sure she is not lying? And is that even your child..." Seeing his glare, she gulped. "So it is your child? How did this- Did you keep on meeting her after-""We lost our baby, mom," Gerard began to shake leaning on her shoulder and she sighed in relief.Thank God it got solved by itself!She was relieved but her son's pain hurt her."The day of my wedding she had a miscarriage. And that b*Emma hid it from me although she knew. While she was suffering I had to put up with that Emma b!tch! Mom, I can't continue this farce anymore... I want my Jer. I am going to divorce-""No, no!" Before he finished, his mother closed his mouth. "Don't say that word. And what do you mean 'our baby'? I don't think there ever was a baby. She is playing to get you back... Women like her..."She decided to play the "She lied about her miscarriage" card but was interjected by Gerard's painful chuckle."Hahaha... Very well, mom!"

Jeremy deliberated if he should go and bring her back to have his talk. He wanted to know what they were talking about. As he was about to turn to sneak to the garden, sudden darkness rose in front of him and he almost punched the dark head that popped up."Whatcha doin', Jerry?" Even after knowing it's Scarlett, he wanted to punch that grinning face."She is interested in someone very much," She smiled and he pulled down the window. But Scarlett was quick to stop him by holding the window. "Get lost, Scar. Don't you have a baby to look after?" he turned to leave. He did want to know who she is interested in but he didn't want to beg Scarlett for answers.Geez! I didn't believe the phrase "men marry their mothers" until Bobby married Scarlett. Daisy and Scarlett are the same gossip-lovers."She's has a lot of questions to ask about...It's fine if you don't want to know. By the way, she still isn't talking about her wedding. What is that about? Does she even know? I thought she'd as

Jacques was silent all the way to the store. After lunch, Scarlett with great excitement came to her and asked her to go with her to get a wedding dress. Jacques was hesitant at first, but Scarlett explained that it was important.Jacques had to agree. For her sake and the sake of other innocents, she has to go through the wedding. She didn't want to die and she especially didn't want others to get killed getting mistaken for her. If being Jeremy's wife can protect her, why refuse that offer?Yeah, it's just a dress that happens to be white. I have to wear that dress on that particular day and pretend to say a few lines. Let's get this over with."Scar... Will this shop have $500 dresses?" Jacques asked, seeing that high-end boutique. "Why don't we go to Merchants street where there are affordable-""$500?"Scarlett raised her brows in surprise."Yes, that is too much for a dress worn only once. We can rent a dress. Do you know a good-""I cannot wear a $50 dress and I definitely won'

Jacques saw Martha's face getting flustered. "That- He didn't believe your lies, of course! He said he- he was always careful – very- and even if you got pregnant it can't-" with a stutter Martha spoke and Jacques fisted her hands. "Then why are you here talking to me, liar!" Jacques smiled. "I can see you're lying. Now get lost," she turned to leave. She didn't want to interact with that lying woman."You're showing your lowly birth by the words you use," Martha smirked. "You can try but you'll never become one of us. Remember that. You are a lowly orphan and-" "Yeah, yeah... and you're the greatest nonce Harold Feldstein's sister-in-law. I admit. You're better than me," Jacques said in a sarcastic tone and scoffed seeing Martha's flustered face. She was lost for words.Jacques was not feeling guilty. That woman has no right to talk about her birth.At that time, Scarlett came back and Jacques gestured that they could leave. "Who is she? Your fellow grifter? Is there a gang of pe

Jacques looked at Jeremy and he seemed serious and was ready to leave as if he was a king giving orders.You're not the King here!Emma had a pleased smile and Martha had a victorious smile. But looking at Jacques Martha was confused as to why she was allowed there.Jerina didn't want to care about Martha. She turned to look at the boss of the boutique and she had an unimpressed look. Of course, she wouldn't like outsiders getting involved with her staff. She wanted to speak, but for some reason, Scarlett stopped her from saying something and she went silent. Even Charlie looked surprised and confused.Is TJ that stupid? Is he willing to ruin his name for his sister's "compassion"? And is it compassion to shove something in someone's hand that they might not need or want? Isn't assuming what others want, patronizing? "Yes," the girl nodded and she didn't stop smiling, but Jacques's heart clenched. She knew she might be wrong. That girl might be really happy to get a job elsewhere. An

Scarlett stood behind Jacques with her hands folded. She knew why Emma was here. Since Jeremy mentioned Jacques's wedding dress, she's here to know the price. And just like she predicted, Emma started to talk."So you were here to get a wedding dress, Jacques? You could have asked me to join you. So did you take a picture? How many dresses did you choose? What color?" Emma went on."I got one dress and the wedding's just a week away. You can see it then," Jacques answered plainly and Emma clenched her jaws."Ah, so you're trying to keep the-""Shall we leave?" Jeremy walked from behind Emma and Jacques saw Emma's face relaxing immediately."Jerry," Emma clung on to Jeremy. "Let's go to dinner together. I want to-""I'll leave with Scar, then," Jacques interjected."Yes, I'll have to get back," Scarlett went along. "Here, we made good use of it," she returned the black card to Jeremy.Emma's eyes bulged seeing the metal card getting transferred from Scarlett's hand to Jeremy's. In the

When Jacques woke up, she felt the gentle breeze on her face. She was still sitting in the car, but they had already reached home.Did he leave me because I was asleep? He could have woken me up rather than leave me in the car...She yawned and started to unbuckle her seatbelt, but paused hearing the slight murmur the wind carried. It seemed like Jeremy and Charlie were conversing about something serious. She decided not to eavesdrop, but when she heard her name, she decided to listen.Her heart pounded as if she was breaking into the Louvre Museum since she is not used to eavesdropping. Jeremy and Charlie were at a distance talking and their voices were very dull. Jacques couldn't even hear properly.But then, the wind changed direction and she heard their voices a little better."...I was wrong to ask you to respect her as my wife. You saw how she acted before...that's her true self. That's who she is. Respect her for who she is..."He's asking his people to respect me! Does that me

Jeremy, overwhelmed by his emotions and the immense high given by her feminine scent wafting into his senses, got closer to her. His arms gently lifted her close to him and his lips wanted to unite with hers."No," she said and her eyes widened.The next thing he felt was her cold fingertips on his lips and even that coldness gave him an odd warmth all over her body. But he knew she was resisting and he decided not to go through with his desires.But before he lowered her down, she jumped from his embrace and within seconds she ran up the stairs and got inside her room. He heard the sound of the door locking and an odd feeling of loneliness washed up in his heart."That girl is really fast, isn't she? Like a squirrel... Bobby was right to give her that nickname."Jeremy sighed hearing that familiar voice."Mark! What brings you here?" He got down from the stairs."You should start locking your doors, Jerry," Mark poured himself the rum he helped himself."The tigers are very quiet aft

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
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 172 - His Way Or Hers?
"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
