The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 9: An Amazing Soup
Jacques's eyes filled with tears as she caressed her abdomen that felt empty for her. Her back hurt constantly and her legs cramped up often. Due to anaemia, she felt giddy at times.More than the physical ailments, what hurt more was her heart.Should I follow my baby? Will he be waiting for me?What is left for me here? Why should I stay here?These thoughts popped in her brain often. But there is this little dark corner of this heart that wanted revenge.Revenge on the guy who took her everything.I need to be alive to watch him suffer!And Gerard... should I ask him why he broke up with me and why he married Emma?Jacques gritted her teeth trying to control her thoughts.He left me. He didn't even look for me for a month and proceeded to plan for his wedding with the woman who caused our misfortune.Why should I meet him just because he wants to meet me this time?She closed her eyes and really fell asleep. Maybe because this is a hospital, or it was her anaemia or some medication
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 10: His Luna
Jeremy was pretty happy as he walked through the hallways. He was planning on what to cook next for her.I saw the pumpkins in Martha's garden read to be picked... So maybe that pumpkin pie pudding?He was so happy, he wanted to go home to learn the recipe and give it a try before cooking for her.At that time, his phone rang with a notification.{Emma Cooper posted a picture...}The notification read and he immediately clicked the notification. Emma had posted a picture.Emma was with a bright smile sitting beside Gerard in the first class of a plane.They waited for almost an hour for Jacques to wake up but then since they had a flight to catch, they left.It's better this way.He looked at the post once more. There were some hashtags above the picture which he ignored as always. Although a millennial, he didn't like these social networking sites. He's only in Facebook upon Emma's insistence.Seeing Emma's bright smile, his lips curved up too. But seeing the man sitting beside her,
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 11: Shouldn't Have Seen Her Again
Jeremy went back to Jacques's room. He decided to stay in the hallway to make sure no one tries anything funny.When he got there, he couldn't help but sneak a peek through the glass and during the small time frame when the wind blew the curtains away, he had a glance of Jacques deeply asleep on the bed.He placed his hand on the door and before he knew it, he had opened the door and entered. He looked around and realized Daisy was not in the room.He placed his hand on his heart as he felt his heartbeat racing, realizing he was alone with her in the room. He took in a deep breath with a smile.The past few days when she was with him, he is always feeling this way. He has stared death in the eye and escaped from its jaws a handful of times. But even then his heart didn't race like this.Only when I am with her...The lighting was dim and she was lying on her back on the bed. Her IV was still running but the monitors that were connected to her were removed. Her shoulder-length blonde h
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 12: Sister Visits (1)
The next day, Jacques woke up with the glaring sun falling on her face. She looked around the room and Daisy was not in the room. The blinds were pulled up and the windows were open bringing in a fresh scent of roses.Jacques felt a lot better than the first day she was here. She still had severe bleeding, but she didn't feel much cramping. Her hemoglobin levels are slowly improving and she didn't feel much giddiness.She sat on the bed and her head didn't spin anymore and she took in a deep breath closing her eyes unwilling to look at the cold white walls. Her abdomen hurts, reminding her why she is in this place. Even with the sweet scent of roses, the smell of disinfectants was overwhelming making it hard for her to enjoy anything.That familiar voice made her flinch. Her heart skipped a beat as she didn't expect her step-sister to come here.Why is she here? What does she want now?That was the first thought that came to her mind.Did she hear about the miscarriage?"Gina, come in
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 13: Sister Visits (2)
Gina seemed to not understand Jacques's pain and felt like she was blaming her for attending a wedding."Linny, what's there to-" she let out a deep breath as if she was wronged. "I know Gerard and you were planning to marry, but it didn't work out. It happens! He found someone better for his career! Do you have any idea how many millionaires and politicians attended their wedding?" she shrugged. "And just because of that we cannot be close-minded and ignore him, right? Plus... Ugh! Leave it, Linny," she pouted as the last resort since she couldn't come up with any more excuses.Jacques wanted to laugh out loud. She knew those two never loved her, but still she was nice to them, and provided for their extravagant needs. She thought she'd need someone as family in times of her troubles.After reading a news article about a girl who lived alone who was not reported missing even after a week which resulted in her demise, she got scared. She thought if she kept those two close, they'd at
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 14: The Choice She Has To Make
Dr. Kruger leaned on the wall bowing her head as she heard the little sniffles coming from inside the room after Gina stormed off. She heard some of what those two talked about.She doesn't like that phrase either. She knew people who others think are strong are the ones carrying the greatest scars in their heart, weeping silently, when no one is looking.She closed her eyes and her nightmare came to her recollection once more. That day, she thought she did the right thing for herself and for the sake of others she'd be helping in the future. But it backfired spectacularly and not a day goes by without her regretting that decision.But no one knows that. Everyone thinks she is a strong and kind woman who is very happy because she is successful.Ah... Jeremy... I can see why you want to protect her.She talked to him and everything he said seemed so surreal. She couldn't believe it all, but she didn't doubt Jeremy's honesty either.What a pity! What did she do to get in the eyes of a g
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 15: Resentment
Standing outside the room, Jeremy watched Jacques talking to his mother with a smile. She seemed to be holding up well. He thought after Gina's visit she'd be blue. Turns out, Daisy has cheered her up.He saw his mom with her usual kind smile. But she can be pretty scary at times like when she forbade him to get in the room.He could understand his mom is not willing to trust him with Jacques. It hurt him and he felt like no one trusts him anymore.Of course, he knew his mom is not that fond of Emma, for some reason. Emma, on the other hand, loves his mom as much as she loves her mom. He could only hope that there comes a day when his mom understands Emma.Since his mom learnt that Emma's husband is Jacques's ex, she thinks that truth somehow factored in his decision to marry Jacques. Maybe Jacques thinks that way too. But the truth is far from that.He does have a personal reason for his desire to keep Jacques close to him, and it has nothing to do with Emma.He received information
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 16: Filled With Remorse, He Still Wished To Be With Her
"I will never be with you, TJ."Jeremy heard her as he closed the door. Her low voice filled with resentment made him feel like a thousand daggers got lodged in his heart."I know," he said under his breath, rubbing his chest. He leaned on the wall, closing his eyes. The pain in his heart escaped as a sigh."I know, I'll never be with you. But still, be with me for a while."He saw how much damage he had done to her unwittingly. He knew he broke her. He won't expect her to stay with him forever.He cried tears of remorse."I'm sorry. Please allow me to atone for what I've done. I'll even offer my life."He wiped the corner of his eye.He knew it all and yet he still wished for her to be with him. Even for some time he wanted to call her 'his wife'."Just let me look at you for a little longer."He walked to the reception and informed Mr. Davis that he can visit Jacques now.Jacques walked to the window as soon as Jeremy left the room. She opened the window and a gentle breeze caressed
