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.
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
