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

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

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

Jacques held the little box that was made in a fine black walnut wood with beautiful carvings with both of her hands. She's been holding the box for more than an hour and still her tears didn't stop.She didn't think the clinic would provide free caskets for miscarried babies. She greatly appreciated this help. And also, the box was very well-made and looked really expensive. She is not someone creative, but she can appreciate art. Seeing how cute and exquisite the carvings on the box are, she inferred that the artist who carved it must have a very loving and kind heart.It reminded her of her father's funeral. With her step-mother refusing to arrange for the funeral, she had made arrangements with a funeral home with the basic pack and she couldn't even arrange the payment for the basic pack. She ran around trying to get a loan, but no one was willing to loan a large sum to an eighteen year old girl who hadn't even finished her high school yet,But someone paid for her father's funer

Jacques didn't know where she borrowed her courage from, but she had actually slapped his hand away, stopping him from touching the planter – the planter where she buried her baby he killed.She wasn't even thinking. She didn't want his murderous hand touching her baby and out of instinct, she actually hit him.A couple seconds passed and only then her brain registered what she did. Her palm stung by the force she had used on him and through her peripheral vision she could see him staring at his hand, stunned.I'm finished! He's going to kill me now!She has seen him fighting five guys at the same time and he bashed the skull of one guy without even batting an eye. She is nothing compared to those guys and it would only take one hit to kill her.But what if he breaks the planter out of anger?It was then she felt immeasurable fear and she wished she didn't anger him. She instinctively held the planter to protect it and her hands started to tremble.Jeremy was stunned when she hit him.
