Forced Marriage: Escaping Her Monster-Chapter 357 - Did He Tempt Providence?

No, she won't leave me. She is not going to leave me when she is pregnant with my child.

But if she stays with me for the baby… That's not going to make me happy, is it?

'Think of me every second, Joel.'

The words she spoke when he talked to her on the phone suddenly echoed in his ears. Her smile, the way she served him food last night, her pout, Patrick's words… It all snapped him to reality.

Ugh! What am I even thinking!

He wanted to bang his head.

His wife loves him. He knows that. And here he is, doubting her love.

I will not do that. I refuse to doubt her! Everyone who knows her tells him that she has changed and is more happy now. She will not let go of him no matter what.

Not minding Gerard, he walked in to have a look at Emma. He wanted to imprint her appearance in his mind. After ruining the lives of many, he wanted to see her defeated face after getting betrayed by someone she trusted. She should know the taste of her own medicine.

But he was in for a surprise.

"Hmpf! Why are you here?" Emma's tone was dry. He reddened eyes still lacked humility and pride danced over her furrowed brows.

Jeremy was stunned for a moment but then he chuckled. Since he was clear with her that he is not going to pity her anymore, she is not going to pretend with him anymore.

Ah… this is the woman I thought was an angel! She used to act so helpless and pretended that I am her biggest support.

But she…

She killed her own child!

He understood that Gerard had a terrible plan for Emma. But to save herself, she was able to do a terrible thing to herself.

Everyone has a degree of self-preservation. Self-preservation is essential for survival.

But Emma… she is evil! She has no empathy or awareness.

He pulled out his phone and took a picture to show Jerlina. She might not appreciate it but he wanted to show her Emma's face. Jerlina shouldn't feel bad even for a second for someone like Emma.

He laughed and stepped aside dodging the jug Emma threw at him. He was not that distressed as he thought he would be. But he cannot deny the pain in his heart.

I let this heartless monster hurt the one with the purest of hearts out of stupidity…

"You don't deserve life, Emma. You're a waste and so do yourself and the entire human race a favor. Sign up for organ donation and kill yourself," he said hate dripping in his face. He felt irked to be in her presence and turned to leave.

Emma gritted her teeth and tears clouded her eyes. She is in a situation where even he can mock her.

"Are you angry at me for clearing your path, Jerry? Had that baby survived, Jerlina would never-"

"So what, Emma?" Jeremy gritted his teeth and looked at her. "Am I supposed to be happy she lost her child? That was a part of her that died that day. And you're-" he stopped. ƒ𝒓e𝐞we𝚋𝙣ｏ𝚟𝚎𝘭.co𝙢

Talking about Jerlina's pain seems to make Emma feel good. He gritted his teeth as he had no word to spare for her.

"What do you have against her, Emma?" he asked. "What did she do to you for you to wish death on her?"

Emma turned her face away from him and mumbled something.

Jeremy wanted to bash her skull and he decided not to act on his desires. His wife still needs him. He left the room not minding Gerard standing by the door.

Gerard was confused. Judging by the interaction between Emma and Jeremy, and after seeing how angry Jeremy was as he left, it seems like Jeremy is not on good terms with Emma.

And more importantly, he seems to be in love with Jerlina and he is still talking for her.

Will he let go of Jerlina as he said?

After talking to him, he advanced the plan he had for Emma and he is filled with hope that he will get his Jer back. But now he is not so sure anymore.

Why does it feel like I was played by him?

Fisting his hands, Gerard walked out. Emma stared at the back of Gerard and snorted.

I'll get back at all of you for doing this to me!

"Stop!" Gerard shouted as he caught up with Jeremy.

"I have nothing to say to you, Gerard! After seeing what you did to Emma…" he snorted. "You hid your hit and run accident from her knowing that she would hate you for it. If she knows what you did this time-"

"What did I do? How am I responsible for Emma cheating?" Gerard yanked Jeremy's collar.

Jeremy pushed him away. He was burning in a murderous rage and his blood is boiling wanting to kill. But he gritted his teeth and stopped himself.

I have to get back to Jerlina.

"I know it all Gerard. I have proof. I have proof that Emma conceived with IVF. Last time I checked that is not cheating. You're one twisted man, Gerard. Stay away from Jerlina!" he pointed his index finger at him and opened the car door and stepped in.

"You said you'll divorce her!" Gerard shouted.

Jeremy didn't mind him and started the car and stepped on the pedal.

"Answer me, [email protected]! Come back, coward!"

Gerard ran behind Jeremy's speeding jeep out of the parking lot. Panting, he stopped by the side of the road.

All he wanted was to keep Jerlina safe. Safe from those against her and from his secret that would hurt her. And that was the reason he left her with Jeremy. He trusted Jeremy would keep his word but he proved that he is a thug.

Not only did Jeremy not keep his word but also he tried to change Jerlina's heart. And now that Jerlina is still in love with me, that thug is using the same tactic as his sister.

He is blackmailing me to keep Jerlina for himself!

NO… NO… I cannot stay silent anymore. I cannot leave Jerlina with him anymore. She would be waiting for me to rescue her.

Gerard got his phone and scrolled down his contacts.

"Yes… I need a gun…"

His lips pressed to a line.

He must die!

That [email protected] must die so that my Jer and I can be happy together forever.
