The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 94: One Call Away
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
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 95: A Suitable Mate
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
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 96: Can He Say No?
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
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 97: He Wanted Her
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
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 98: Flutters In His Heart
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 99: Deep Uncontrollable Love
"That's Duke when he was a puppy..."Jacques's heart almost jumped out of her chest hearing Jeremy's voice right by her ear. She hadn't realized that he was standing behind her. Or maybe she stared at that picture for too long.His hand reached and grabbed the photograph."Isn't he cute here..?" he chuckled gently. "He's my lucky charm."Only after he rescued this dog from an addict, he met Jacques and his life changed after that. And that's why he considered him as his lucky charm. And although huskies are said to be working dogs and not guard dogs, Duke is smart and he can do what is asked of him.Jeremy stood beside Jacques and she saw the genuine smile on his face. He must love that mean-looking dog – she thought. And that dog loves him too."He should be over ten now, right?" Jacques asked."Yes, but how did you guess?" he asked with his eyes wide.Oops! I cannot tell Jeremy that I guessed Duke's age by the style of the beard he had back then!"So is Earl Duke's grandson?" she as
The Moon's Dark Secret Chapter 100: Wavering Resolution
I can see she is trying to make me believe she has something with Jeremy but is she realizing she is forcing a kiss on Jeremy? Jeremy – the leader of a gang, who can smash human skulls?Jacques gulped seeing Jeremy's jaws clenching with fury. Tara tried to pull him closer to her lips but she couldn't. Having failed, she tried to get closer to his lips but Jeremy held her wrists.Oh, please don't snap her wrists, Jeremy! That's going to be a lawsuit!"Joel!" Jacques walked closer with her secretarial smile after quickly dishevelling her shirt collar. "Something is sticking on your..." she went and held his hand. "Ah... there, I got it," she pulled out a hair only visible to her eyes and blew it away into the invisible ether that fills the universe.As she expected, Jeremy let go of Tara's hands and started to fix her collar. He's a lot like Earl. Nothing works better on him as distraction does."Thank you," Jacques smiled at Jeremy and he went back to his seat getting the documents fro
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.
