The Next Three Weeks, hanged out on a thin line between love and hate, fear and passion, sadism and masochism, smuggling and counterfeiting, crimes and set ups, bureau investigations and police officers, new friends and new enemies.Over the days Jerald became more negativistic, provocative and more loving. As if that's not enough he started becoming cynical, uncaring and arrogant, but at least they're not as bad due to intertwined habits of being in love with Jennifer.Though he never said it to her, she knew. She didn't get flowers everyday but he made sure with every chance he gets when passing by a flower shop to buy her a rose and to remind her that she's loved.One thing he never forgets is to hold her hand. No matter how sweaty they were he wouldn't let her go.He asks his men to look out for them whenever they take late night walks because he'd be lost in her than focus on who wants to kill him.He taught her to always take full responsibility of her mistakes.With every s
2 Hours later.Jennifer was left in the interrogation room for the past two hours and she was busy yelling she is innocent.“I swear I had no intentions to use the knife!” Jennifer cried even though she cried her lungs out, it was hopeless because no one was in the interrogation room.“Fine! Be like that! Why would I do that? It was just for self-defense measures!” She was yelling. She was right though, Jerald have been teaching her to defend herself using the pocket knife.The door went open and when she saw Mason she sighed in relief.“Oh, thank God, Mason you're here. Please tell those policemen that I didn't do anything?” Jennifer said. He put three files on the table. He unlocked the cuffs on her hands.“The Thing He Kills For…” Mason whispered and Jennifer looked at him with a reassurance look.“What did you just say?” She asked.“Oh nothing. Oh and congratulations on your marriage.” Mason said as he sat down and Jennifer looked at him rubbing her wrists. “We know you weren't going
Jennifer's Point Of View“Jennifer?” He said my name so calmly. His leg on top on the other, sitting down on the chair next to the room door."What did I say to you when I left this morning?” He asked. He said a lot of things but I remember his one order. “To greet you by the door when you get home.” I said, well I forgot to do that, don't get me wrong, I had plans with my friends. “I told you to greet me at the door whenever I come, didn't I?” He asked and I nodded. He did.“Don't you care about your husband?” I do. But I didn't dare to say it, we met like two days ago. “I had plans with my friends." I responded honestly and he looked at me taking off his tie. “Is that more important than a promise you made to your husband? Looks like you are in need of a punishment.” He said, first of all I didn’t promise to greet him by the door and secondly… what punishment is worse than this? He literally tied me with a rope and I can barely move. Not to mention the collar on my neck that is
The Next Morning. Saturday.Jennifer, Me of course being like my mother, I was preparing breakfast and trying to make it up for last night. Maybe I'll be in his good books. I was busy humming that I didn't hear my so called ‘husband’ walk into the kitchen. So I continued with what I was doing, which is slicing tomatoes. I wasn't really humming I was trying to figure out, when is Yet. Perhaps it's the night at our wedding or maybe… he's seeing someo—“What are you doing?” His husky voice made me jump. “Eek!” I screamed and I mistakenly cut myself with the knife. Oh Jennifer. Immediately when I saw blood on my finger I put it in my mouth, it will stop the bleeding.“Ouch.” I cussed.“Don't do that! Stay here!” He ordered me. I looked at him as he disappeared through the door and I took out my finger from my mouth.I'm learning from my mistakes.He sprinted to me holding a small bag of first aid kit. He opened the fridge and took out a bottle of alcohol.“This is going to sting.” He sa
At The WareHouse.Jerald stormed in and found his men: Christian, his right man and Wiz, his hacker talking in his office.“Speak of the devil! So boss we were able to track the supplies turns out… over two hundred of them went missing and that's over Six Hundred Million dollars.” Wiz said, he always ordered his men to never beat around the Bush whenever they talked to him so he sighed.“Why did you even ignore my call?” Wiz asked and Jerald rolled his eyes.“It was an unknown number.” He defended himself and Christian laughed. “But you know I'm the only one who has access to your phone.” Wiz said. For someone who's a Warlord, yes.“Don't tell me Your wife is already controlling you?! I have to meet her!” Christian mocked him and their laughter filled the room, Jerald looked at them disgusted. “Leave my wife out of this. Now tell me… what can we do?” “Well… let me go grab some cables so I can start tracking the supplies.” Wiz stood up and walked outside.Jerald went into his pocket
7am. That Day.Jennifer's Point Of View I would lie if I say I slept a blink. I didn't sleep, not even a wink. Why was he so aggressive? What would've happened if he went through with it?Oh well, It's been three days and trust me, I receive calls from Mark with each minute passing by. So I ghosted him. I took a long shower. Honestly I want him to touch me like last night but when he's sober. No… we just met.Does that mean I have to wear heels? I can't even find flat shoes. I walked downstairs and found a small table with only one chair and a rose. He's apologising for last night!! Oh my gosh!I walked there and I found him waiting for me so eagerly.“Good morning, Mrs Carter.” He says. I smile at him.“Morning, Mr Carter.” He raised his left eyebrow after I responded, he pointed the table.“Please, take a seat.” I smile at him and I sat down. Is he apologising for…“What's the occasion? Is it about last night or should I say earlier?” I asked as he placed a meal on the table.“
She looked at him with a hope he'd say ‘It's a joke’ but he didn't. “You have a tattoo on your back, what does it mean?” He asked. She let out a deep sigh as if it was a touchy subject.“I'll have to kill you if I tell you.” She said and he raised his eyebrows but she didn't feel intimidated by his stare. Perhaps, it's because she's hiding something.He laughs out loud. “Oh, I see what you did there.” “Are we done?” She asked and judging by how the look in his eyes, she knew he was thinking something. “Not really.” He says as he walked away. Jennifer smiled, what was going on in her mind?He came back holding his black shirt.“Here. Wear this.” He gave her his shirt. Without hesitant, she took the shirt and stood up.“Where are you going?” “To change into this." Jennifer responded. He smiled.“You can do it here.” She raised her eyebrows. “Pardon me?” “No one's looking. Go on.” He said. As if he's no one.“But you are looking, aren't you?” She asked folding her arms.“I am your
I looked over his shoulder to see a woman that was literally his female version.“Mom?! What are you doing here?!” Jerald snapped at the old lady. Oh it's his mother.I quickly grabbed the dress from the floor and wore it while she was explaining.“Uh… what am I doing here? You want me to leave?” His mother was fearless. She talked to him as if she had balls way huge than his. “Yes! Leave! You're not supposed to be here until the next two days.” Jerald said, okay that's not a way to talk to your mother.His mother turned and started walking to the door.“No! Ma'am! Please… we are done.” I yelled and she turns to me with a huge smile.“You must be Jennifer… Honey, it's safe to come now!” She yelled to someone else from the door.“It better! Because I'm too old to die.” A man walked to His mother and that made me make a conclusion that it's his father.Wait… were we too loud? I felt my face flush red when my eyes and his mother's eyes meet. And I must say the woman is beautiful. She
