Forced Marriage: Escaping Her Monster

Chapter 341 - Dark Thoughts 2

Chapter 341 - Dark Thoughts 2

Jeremy was so sure of his love and the love she has for him.

That is part of the reason he wanted her to speak about Emma. That way he could ask about her meeting with that guy the other day.

What is making him so sure that she will get together with him? He wanted to know.

She still hasn't buried her baby in his home as she said. Yes, she gave a valid reason, but is it even the reason?

Yes, she does not lie when she says that she loves him.

But why am I still insecure?

All he used to do was imagine a family with her. But now they have a chance and yet he is still impatient.

He wanted to get her pregnant soon. To make sure she wouldn't leave him. But fate is not letting him rest.

Ah, I am turning crazy!

"No, I am definitely wanting to know the other surprise you planned for me," she had an amused smile.

He hummed and lay on the bed. She still looked cute and yet his heart was in no mood to admire her.

"It's no surprise," he said what he didn't mean to say and yet he continued. "It's just dinner in Paris… In a restaurant at the Eiffel Tower," he added.

Pick a fight. Tell me that I should have kept it a secret. Just tell me what you are thinking!

He expected a fight for some reason. Some reaction from her. She did give a reaction. She was happy. So happy she ran to him and kissed him.

"You're amazing," she said with her eyes misted. "I love you, Joel."

He held her cheek as a drop of her tear ended up rolling over his hand. He pulled her closer and kissed her.

"I love you too, Jeryl."

He would be thinking a lot. And then she'd say this. And it would make all his worries go away; temporarily.

Where does the fault lay?

She did tell him to ask her directly if something troubles him. But what good would it do? Her words would make sense and he would feel bad for feeling this way anyway.

It won't be any different from what he is feeling now.

Why make her feel bad by letting her know what he is thinking?

Jeremy looked at Jerlina sitting in front of him with a smile that reached her eyes. He should say and he did say it to her.

"You're pretty, Jeryl!"

She's so sexy in that red dress! And her red lips and curled hair… something she did on her face with makeup… she is so pretty, he wanted to take her to bed.

But sadly, it is impossible today!

His heart filled with calmness as he held her hand. That smile...

Aww!

But then he noticed her chewing for so long and taking very small bites.

Ah… she doesn't like the food… Why isn't she saying it? We could go elsewhere… How long is she going to starve herself?

He got angry. He was about to confront her about it. He forgot about the gift he toiled to find.

But before he shouted at her, she passed him a couple of boxes. It surprised him.

"I love you, Joel," she said with a hearty smile. "Happy Valentine's Day!"

And once again, he melted. He opened the boxes. There were necklaces. One with a girly design and another cool design with an ax. Both of them had her names engraved in them and that was enough for him to love those gifts.

And he could sense she is getting possessive of him. He loved her for it. She can take his everything and he would give it all for her.

He gave her the earrings he got for her. In front of her personalized gifts, his gift felt worthless. But her eyes…

I could die looking at them!

"I love you so much, Jeryl," he said from the bottom of his heart.

He could never lie about it.

That night was warm. She was lying in his embrace, snuggling up to him. In her embrace he found rest.

They returned back to their home.? It's been more than a month since they left their home. They had a lot of work to do but she was happy.

She still wasn't eating well. She said the reason she is not eating well was because 'it was not his cooking'. He cooked everything she liked. But she only ate half of them. She even learned to throw food away.

Well… It seems like she is changing… And not the way I want her to.

A week passed after they returned. She said she was going to the clinic and he went to the office. She is a hard worker and that didn't change.

"Love you, Joel," she kissed him before she left.

Everything was normal. At least the new normalcy between them anyway. Her periods ended in three days like clockwork but she is not letting him near her.

Yes, she was very subtle about it. But he sensed it.

Well… she might have gotten bored of me..? What should I do to spice it up?

He wondered.

Sitting in his office with the mountainous works, he couldn't figure out what to do. Mikhail called him and talked to him about his engagement. He was listening to it all half-heartedly.

He didn't know why he is feeling this way.

Am I depressed or something?

Charlie was calling him incessantly. So he ended his call with Mikhail and answered Charlie.

"Come here, TJ!" he was panicking. "A fight broke and squirrel… she… Come quick!"

His heart started to thump against his chest. His blood rushed to his brain and he started to feel like an anvil is resting on his head hearing that his wife is the one who started the fight.

"She's going to kill Emma," Charlie said. "People are recording and it is not going to be good!"

He didn't want to believe that. But Charlie has no reason to lie.

Kill Emma? Kill her?

He slammed the accelerator on his car.

What was Emma doing in the clinic?

He got there. Not even closing the door of his jeep, he ran inside the clinic.

Charlie was not exaggerating. In fact, he didn't panic enough.

Clutching Emma's hair, Jerlina was banging Emma's head on the wall and at any har surface she can find.

Is this really my wife? That lust for blood in her eyes…

And Charlie... He was stopping people from recording the event. He, in fact, no one was interrupting Jerlina.

She captured the hearts of them all!

His eyes ended up at the woman getting hit. Emma's face was covered in blood and she was dragged along by Jerlina.

Ahhh! Isn't Emma pregnant? This is no good!

His eyes ended up at Emma's feet. Her heels were broken and her ankles looked twisted.

And... blood...

Blood was streamlining through Emma's legs.

"No! Stop! Jeryl!" He ran screaming. His heart twisted in pain as it triggered his past memories.

Why is it exactly like that day?
