The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 1: Facing The Monster
The golden leaves on the road blew aside by the wind displaced by the rushing car. The squirrel, who was burying his acorn by the dirt road, scampered away to the nearest tree."Ah… There is the road, baby… Don't panic, mom will drive safely. Are you growing well, baby? Is that why my back hurts? It's good. Momma can bear it."Speaking in a hushed tone, not knowing whether she was comforting the twelve week old fetus in her belly or herself, Jacques Hopkins gripped the steering wheel as she took a sharp right turn. Her slightly trembling hands caressed her lower abdomen as she looked at the rear view mirror.Good! No one's following us!She increased the speed and the silver Camry sped through the dirt road lined with trees on both side.I have to get out of here… The wedding... Baby… If I tell your dad about you, will he stop the wedding..? Ugh! I know he would. He's a good man. He might have been coerced by the Harrison family for this wedding…There is more an hour for the wedding.
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 2: Getting Married
"Good girl," he petted her head as he let her stand on the floor. Jacques, looking at the floor, unable to lift her head as she was in so much pain, knew there is not a lot of time left.As much as she despised and resented him for everything he did, she knew he is the only one she could ask for help now."Please," she held on to his shirt. He was six and a half feet tall while she was a feet shorter than him. She didn't even have the energy to look at his face and only saw his broad chest. He wasn't wearing one of his usual plaid shirts, but a pure white dress shirt this time. "Take me to the hospital."The voice from above her felt dry to her and she shivered as she felt that rough hand patting her torso.In reality, his hands were on her just for seconds, but for her it felt like eons. She wanted to scream as she despised that touch more than anything, but she is left with no other chance than to beg this ill-mannered monster.To beg the person she hated with every fibre of her bei
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 3: No One To Help
The truck raced through the highway, not minding the signals and the speed limits. And Jacques was not in the mood to think of the law.She tried not to lose her consciousness as waves of cramps hit her. She was bleeding a lot and she still held hope.It will be fine. My baby will be safe.They were travelling towards the city and Jacques knew there was a hospital within twenty minutes reach. She knew calling for ambulance would only waste time and hoped this monster would take her to the hospital.Fearing her loud breathing might trigger him and he'd throw her away, she took shallow breaths. There was a little wolf plushie with a crescent moon shaped bell around its neck hanging in the rear-view mirror.As the car travelled, the bell made slight tinkling noises and oddly it gave her a sense of comfort and familiarity.His big hand held her arm as he took a sudden U-turn. The inertia made her hit her head at the window and she felt her stomach churn at the speed they turned and by the
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 4: Daughter-in-law She Didn't Know
The entire room felt like a storm has passed. Nurse Daisy wiped her sweat in a towel and properly tucked in Jacques. "Poor thing," she mumbled fixing the IV drip. "She must have loved that baby... She could feel she has lost it without the need for us to tell her.""Daisy!" Dr. Kruger admonished her for speaking too much, but the harshness was reeled back with a trace of familiarity and affection. After all, in this little clinic, everyone is considered family."I know, Doctor. You're mad she called your son a monster. I wonder why he has nothing to say either when his baby-""Daisy!" Dr. Kruger pursed her lips, folding her hands on her chest and Daisy sighed."Fine, I'll stop speaking. She reminds me of my daughter, that's all.""Every girl reminds you of your daughter!" Dr. Kruger shook her head with a smile. "Inform me when she wakes up. If she is hysteric still, we'll have to look for psychiatric consultation.""Since there are no other patients here, I'll stay with her," Daisy pu
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 5: Will Never Forgive
Dr. Kruger returned to her office to talk to her son, but then decided to check up on Jacques first. She liked Jacques as she invoked the motherly instincts in her. But she couldn't shake off this queasy feeling about Jacques in her heart.But when she got to her room, the sight she saw made her heart clench. TJ was standing by the door, peeping in through the little glass window in the door. He's not crying anymore and she was slightly relieved."Mom, when will she be discharged?" he asked noticing her walking towards him."Three days max," Dr. Kruger stood beside him."Can't I take her home tomorrow?" his piercing blue eyes fixed on her."Home? Your home?" Dr. Kruger probed."Yes, we are legally married now. It is proper for her to live with me-""You married and you didn't bother to tell me? And that child?" she was hurt when he agreed just like that but wanted to know more."Mom, you saw it. She hates me. It's not my child and it's not a marriage out of love. How would she of all
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 6 : Her (Ex) boyfriend Visits.
Jacques tried to squeeze out a smile, but her eyes burnt and she stopped trying to smile."I'm fine, doctor." She looked at Dr. Kruger. "I want to leave. I can pay the bills-""This is a charity hospital, Jacques. You don't have to pay the bills. And you're not well enough to be discharged. I'm not advising you to leave now. " Dr. Kruger said as she scribbled something on her notepad."And, you know how the streets here are like at night, dear," Daisy added in a very caring tone.Yes, the streets would be dangerous. I would rather take my chance there than being trapped here."My baby?" Jacques wanted to get her baby and find a way to leave."We can provide you options on what to do with-""Give me my baby!" Jacques interjected Dr. Kruger and raised her voice.Are they seriously holding my dead baby as a hostage for keeping me here?"I will keep your baby boy safe and comfortable until you become well enough to get discharged. Do you want to take a look at your baby?" Dr. Kruger asked
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 7: Emma Gets What Emma Wants.
Dr. Kruger looked at Jeremy and he leaned on the wall with a sigh and stared at the floor and Emma was too stunned to react.Okay... This Gerard is Jacques's boyfriend and those two know about it.So... is he also the father of Jacques's baby?But why did Emma marry him? And why did Jeremy marry Jacques?Don't tell me Emma got what Emma wanted like always. And as usual, Jeremy helped his sister, didn't he?Dr. Kruger who hates drama in her life and avoids gossips, and every reality show and drama series there is, got herself standing in the midst of a twisted drama in her own life involving her son."He meant I am Jacques's girl-friend. Silly Gerard!" Emma who had composed herself playfully hit Gerard in his arm and held his hand.Yes, you are so believable Emma.... Dr. Kruger wanted to roll her eyes.Pulling through the hallways avoiding Dr. Kruger's gaze, Emma spoke coyly as if the one who looked like someone shot a hole through her brain sometime before was not her."Aunt Maddy is
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 8: How She Got Here
"You can tell me if you want to meet them." Daisy spoke in a soft voice. "They said they'll wait for you.""Sure," Jacques said with a slight smile. Although Daisy refused to help her with filing a complaint, she found Daisy's presence very comforting. She had such a soothing voice and gentle hands."I'm sorry... I think I need to change..." Jacques said hesitantly. She tried to sit up but she felt the room spinning and she gripped the sheet."You have pretty severe bleeding, your blood Hb has dropped to 8.4. It is good that you decided to stay here another day. We need to improve your haemoglobin count." Daisy spoke as she helped Jacques.Maybe because she is a nurse, she had a nice aura around her and she seemed like a kind person.But Jacques didn't want to drop her guard with anyone related to that monster. And she didn't even want to think of meeting Gerard when he is with Emma.Why did he even visit? He didn't even bother to stop the car yesterday and why is he here now? Did Emm
