Forced Marriage: Escaping Her Monster

Chapter 244 - When Hell Freezes Over

The nurse slowly retreated leaving the couple alone to solve their issues alone.

Jeremy who was bowing his head down till then looked up. Her lips were pressed, the rims of her eyes were red and her nose flared.

She is enraged!

"Say it again," she furrowed her brows, "You talked to Emma, didn't you?" she glared at him and took a step forward.

Jeremy took a step back, instinctively.

If she hits him again, he will get hit without hesitation, but he didn't want to get hit.

And that sting in his cheek made him gain his senses back.

What did I say? How did I say that?

Giving her up?

I am stupid!

Jerlina saw him going silent and she walked to her phone and decided to look through Emma's messages.

"NO!" Jeremy didn't want her to see those images.

It would be one thing if he told her that her baby's grave was heartlessly destroyed by that monster. But it would be more devastating for her to see the actual images.

"Don't talk to me," Jerlina glared at him.

This stupid had the nerve to talk to his dear sister even after she forbade him to do so. As if that was not enough, he had the nerve to come to her and ask her to break up with him.

Retard!

"Jeryl, I..." Jeremy tried to get close to her and she pointed her index finger at him with a glare.

"Don't come closer, stupid!" she gritted her teeth.

With her finger still pointing at Jeremy, she scrolled through the text messages Emma kept on sending, and as the images loaded she took a look.

What!

She wouldn't lie... Her heart stopped for almost five seconds. She felt the whole world spinning and the ground beneath her feet slipping. She thought she was falling into a never-ending chasm.

My baby... who did this to you?

But then she noticed closely. She actually searched for her baby, she locked safely inside a box before burying.

In the soil, she searched for the box.

But she couldn't find it.

Her first thought was that Emma could be holding that box hostage to ask for something. So she scrolled through the texts. There was no mention of a box.

All Emma wrote were curse words and that Scarlett was not a good friend and she betrayed her and so on and so forth.

Right! Scarlett!

Jerlina remembered Scarlett acting weird the past few days. But she did say she was going the "Bond route" or something of that sort.

As she was about to call Scarlett, she received a call from her and she answered the call.

"Jeryl, I..." Jeremy thought she was answering Emma's call and tried to stop her but Jerlina with a glare pointed her finger at him.

"Scar, what the hell is going on?" Jerlina asked. "What is that b*tch doing?"

"Ah..." Scarlett sighed. "Where is your hothead husband? I expected his angry call, but he is not-"

"Scar, that damaged planter is not my baby's grave, is it?" Jerlina interjected her.

She so wanted to believe it was not her baby's grave. Because if it is, her baby is missing. That would be the worst thing she could ever imagine.

"NO!!!" Scar realized that was the first thing she should have mentioned to Jerlina before talking about that buffoon. "I kept the grave inside your room since winter is fast approaching. That planter Emma destroyed is not your baby's grave. So, don't worry... I did say that I am planning something, right..."

Scarlett went on.

Jerlina with a sigh of relief leaned on the counter. Scarlett was still speaking and Jerlina's throat went dry.

She picked up the biggest wine glass she could find and opened the little cabinet they had the wine and filled the glass. Almost half of the bottle was emptied in just that glass.

As if she was drinking water, Jerlina chugged the entire glass within a minute. All she could think was how Emma is vicious and how Jeremy still gets affected by her words.

Didn't he know I buried my baby in a box? Hell, I bet my last dollar that he was the one who made the box! I remember those carvings on the box... they were pretty similar to Joel's works.

But he chose to believe her blindly?

Even after I told him not to speak with her?

And he came here to break up with me?

Really?

"Jeryl!" Jeremy knew this is not good and he took a step forward.

*Clang*

That glass broke by Jeremy's feet and he stopped.

Jerlina could realize she is starting a commotion in someone else's house and that it is highly inappropriate for her to do so.

But she was mad. So very mad, she wanted to punch him in the gut.

But that guy got hit by a bullet in the gut, and that too for her! How can she get angry at him for this petty issue?

But is this a petty issue?

"How is Bobby doing, Scar?" Her voice became soft. The moment she realized that her baby's grave is safe, she was relieved.

And it seemed like Scarlett has gotten the proof too! Scar is smart and reliable.

But the big baby in front of her... She didn't know what to do with him.

He wants me to break up with him, huh? Heh!

Yeah, I will do that... When hell freezes over! And when his dear sister enters heaven!

This retard had the nerve to ask me that though! What should I do to him?

"Scar, just tell everyone what Emma did. If she dares to step one foot inside Peyton, let her be welcomed with rotten eggs and tomatoes. And don't let her inside the company, our home, or anywhere else. And if my idiotic husband tries to override my decision, tell everyone that he's gone crazy because of the wound and that no one needs to listen to him anymore," Jerlina said with a snort.

Scarlett laughed from the other end. "What did that fool did to make you this angry?"

"He wants to grant his sister's wish. He wants me to break up with him. What do you say, Scar? Should I?" Jerlina said glaring at Jeremy.

Jeremy shook his head, "No, I don't want to... Jeryl... please..."

Scarlett laughed. "Don't break up with him. Only you can make that fool happy... Just make him beg you for a day or two and then forgive him. I heard he ended his relationship with Emma. Emma was not pleased. He didn't even doubt me. He just called her out and divorced her He's not that senseless like before... He thought that planter was the grave and asked Jimmy to pick up all the soil and change it to a new planter and all. You know how men are..." she chuckled.

"Fools?" Jerlina asked gritting her teeth.

Hearing everything Scarlett said, Jerlina's heart did melt.

"All the time... But we have to make them believe they are smarter and stronger to stroke their ego. Otherwise, they won't be different from whiny b*tches ..." Scarlett went on.

Jerlina started to feel the spin as the wine took effect.
