The Moon's Dark Secret のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

"I didn't finish my assignment... But it was the deadline and that teacher will reduce marks for tardiness. I knew I had to submit something if I had to get my scholarship... That day Emma asked me to take a printout of her assignment and I..." Jacques took in a deep breath, rubbing her temples. Her head hurt remembering the mistake she made."I took two copies and...I was wrong..." she looked at Scarlett and she had no change in expression when she expected disgust. "I thought I could replace it with my own the next day, but the teacher started correcting the same day and he found two exactly the same assignments... Plagiarism is considered a crime and it would lead to immediate expulsion from the school... The matter was immediately informed to the Principal. I was up for a scholarship – I needed that scholarship...""So you lied even after Emma begged you to tell the truth?" Scarlett asked. At least that's what Emma said and Jacques's story is the same."She begged me to tell the t

"Jacques..." Jeremy gulped. He didn't know how she'd react but he wanted to explain it properly. She seems to think this is going to be a business meeting, but it is a personal one. He already prepared proper words to explain, but seeing her amber eyes, he forgot everything."Grandpa wants to meet my wife and look at you... honestly, you don't look like my wife," he said and watched her eyebrows furrow.Oops! Did I say something wrong?"Okay..." Jacques said, controlling her anger. She wanted to think that he was making fun of her dressing sense, but she forced herself to not think that way. "What should a lumberjack's wife wear anyway?" she failed within three seconds and took a jab at his dressing sense. She didn't understand why she couldn't keep her composure with this guy every time.She thought she was taking a shot at him and felt bad not knowing Jeremy is currently on cloud nine.She admitted that she is my wife again!"I'm sorry-" Jacques's soft voice was buried by his deep

"Did Patrick talk about me?" Alexander Volkonsky asked."Uncle told me you were friends growing up..." Jacques said with a smile. She knew her uncle hides a lot from her, but she wasn't that interested in knowing all that too. Her uncle behaved a little...weird. His home is a small suburban home, but the decor would be similar to what she saw in Downton Abbey. Everything will be chosen by her aunt - the wallpapers, drapes, rugs and whatnot.She was treated as someone superior in her uncle's house. Even their children had to act respectful to her even though she was younger than them and she was there to share their food.She could see Mikhail treating TJ almost the same way although they shared friendship."Here... I have a picture..." Alexander showed an old black and white picture on his phone. There was a group of well-dressed boys and he could hear where he and uncle Pat were standing."Is this Aunt Becky? And... He looks like my grandpa!" She looked at him and there was no repl

Jacques gulped seeing the big black iron gates of the mansion in front of her. They are currently in front of Jeremy's father's mansion.She was refreshed after breathing in the salty seawater, but then Jeremy told her they'd be visiting his parents to talk about their "wedding". She had no way to refuse him and her mood got spoiled.He said they won't be there for long and even bought her dinner already. But she was not in the mood to meet Emma today.Jeremy felt bad seeing her struggling to even unbuckle her seatbelt. She had gone pale."Is it okay to leave that expensive box there?" she bit her lips. She wanted to stay in the car or just run away."No one will open my glove box. We can keep it safe once we reach home," he knew she did not want to get down. He wasn't trying to ruin her mood. He remembered his mom's advice not to let her meet Emma and so he decided to meet his " parents" today before Emma returns.He has to do it, otherwise, poor Emma won't hear the end of it from h

Jeremiah Harrison knitted his brows. The belligerent son of his never brought home a woman and there were all kinds of rumors surrounding him. Rumors like he likes "little" girls and men. Both cannot be true, but in either case, he cannot sire children.That was fine because...then the billions that [email protected] owns will be inherited by his children and grandchildren. He made sure they are his next of kin. But to rain on his parade, he brings home a woman? And she looks healthy...She looks like a girl but she has the hips for childbirth...and young; very young. She's pretty. She'd be prettier with a little surgery in the chest.Jacques could feel the lecherous eyes on her and her lips curled with disgust. Who would look at someone the same age as their daughter with such eyes? And even after meeting him in the eyes, he still stared at her in a lewd way.What a shameless pervert!She subconsciously leaned closer to Jeremy and his hold on her waist tightened."I'm here to introdu
