Forced Marriage: Escaping Her Monster

Chapter 356 - True Love?

"She hit herself in her stomach and miscarried her child," Gerard laughed more. "She\'s bleeding like crazy now. The doctors are trying to save her life."

Jeremy fisted his hands closing his eyes. Gerard\'s laugh echoed in the halls of the hospital.

Miscarried..? So she killed her baby? Bleeding?

Jeremy tried to find some sort of pity in his heart for his sister but he couldn\'t find any. All he could see in his mind as he closed his eyes was Jerlina\'s face.

That day as he was chased around by Viper\'s men, he was the one who carried Jerlina who was bleeding profusely. She was not responsive and he had to gather his courage when he saw the pool of blood in the car. He\'s seen far more blood in his days but that was the first time he felt his eyes blackening up. It was her blood. He couldn\'t bear to see it. But he needed to bring her inside to make sure that she is not...

His palms get chill even when thinking about it now.

When he got her from the seat, her head tilted to the side and his heart stopped. She wasn\'t moving even a bit and blood was still dripping down her legs. He called her but there was no movement in her. He wanted to die and almost dropped her down.

But he gathered every ounce of the courage left in his body and brought her in. His mother did everything and somehow Jerlina was saved. She almost lost her mind after that and thankfully she pulled herself together and is now happy.

He blamed himself that day; she then got convinced it was fate. But now, they\'ve learned that everything was pre-planned. Pre-planned by the one he used to trust with his life.

Thinking about that day, tears slipped out of his eyes.

I could have lost her that day not because of fate but because of the sister I loved…

She tried to kill my love, she tried to kill my mother, she killed my friend\'s mother, and who knows what else she has done..?

Should I have pity on her? Should I show her basic human decency?

No… giving her a few days to live without handing her over to the police is the biggest concession I am giving her.

"Does it hurt?"

Gerard asked walking closer to Jeremy snapping him out of his thoughts.

"Does it hurt to know that your dear sister is suffering? Does your heart bleed as tears in your eyes?" Gerard snorted and he was in Jeremy\'s space, puffing his chest and spreading his arms.

Does he really want to start a fight with me? Me? Does he know who I am? Should I show him?

Jeremy sighed in exasperation.

Seriously?

It was then he remembered that day when Gerard entered his office and punched him in the face blaming him for Jerlina\'s miscarriage. He let him punch because he thought he deserved it.

Well, it was that day Jerlina kissed him and took care of his "ouchies". So that ended well… But…

Dear sister…

Jerlina says the exact word…

It hurt Jeremy a bit. She must have talked to Gerard about Emma and him when they were together and Gerard learned Jerlina\'s language. He noticed him speaking using the same sentence fragments as Jerlina. They were in a relationship for seven years and that is to be expected, but…

Ha, she\'s mine! She is mine! Why am I thinking about this fool?

"That b*tch screwed around and got pregnant elsewhere. I was waiting for her pregnancy to turn nine weeks to get the paternity test. And just as I suggested paternity test, she ran to the bathroom and…."

Gerard still was speaking at his face and spraying on him. Jeremy had no care about what Gerard had to say. Nine months or whatever, he didn\'t understand a bit.

But he guessed that since they went to a fertility clinic Gerard must have never given his sperm to be fertilized and used someone else\'s jizz. And so the baby cannot be Gerard\'s which could be proven by a paternity test. That was why Gerard made sure that there was no record of them ever visiting the fertility clinic although Emma got pregnant by IVF.

Well, that was a smart plan to ruin the character of the woman… one I would have never thought about…Should I tell him that I have the proof that he played Emma and that\'s why Emma\'s child won\'t have the same DNA as Gerard?

Well… Nah… I\'m not in the mood to talk to this idiot! This twisted fool! How did Jereyl even fall for this kind of person? Eww…

"Was it because you are infertile?" Jeremy took a step forward and his nose almost touched Gerard\'s.

"You, b*stard!" Gerard raised his hand to punch Jeremy.

Jeremy\'s fisted hand itched to punch Gerard but he stopped himself remembering his wife\'s words. She didn\'t want him to cause trouble. He didn\'t want to caue trouble either.

I have a baby on the way. My baby should have the perfect father and not a thug as a father!

Let this idiot ramble all he wants… He thinks he succeeded. Let him revel in his "victory" a little longer. And I can chase him away after Jeryl learns of everything this "smart" guy did. She is not going to appreciate any of this… hehehe…

Gerard held back his punch looking at the stern eyes of Jeremy. He took a step back as if he was going to leave but then he turned at him.

"How does it feel to see your sister suffer, Jerry? And more importantly, how does your heartbreak feel?" Gerard asked and Jeremy raised his brows.

What is he talking about now?

"Don\'t pretend that you know nothing, Jerry. You should have known by now how my Jer played you," Gerard smirked. "While I was enacting my vengeance on Emma, she did her own thing…She made you fall for her and then broke your heart. I knew… I never doubted her. My Jer is always my Jer… She never changed!" he started laughing.

Jeremy\'s heart skipped a beat.

What is this fool saying? Jeryl? Getting revenge? Fool! Should I tell him?

"I knew one day or another, she will come back to me…" Gerard continued and Jeremy listened to him silently. It was all fun for him and he couldn\'t hold back his laughter.

Gerard let out a deep breath. "And that\'s why I stayed pure for her. I didn\'t even touch your sister once and I made sure I never will have to…" Gerard went on.

Jeremy felt like the ground beneath him slipping.

He may call Gerard stupid and laugh at him in his heart all he wants. But there is one fact that is undeniable.

Gerard truly loves Jerlina.

Wait… If Jerlina learns about what Gerard did to Emma for her sake, will her heart start to waver? Will she think that Gerard is the one who loves her more?

What will be of me then?
