Jeremy stood facing his opponent with Ariel behind him. He knew he had to win this match and at the same time, find a way to protect Ariel. He couldn't help but wonder how Noah would be faring. “You have to keep moving. Leave me here. I'll handle this guy." Jeremy whispered to Ariel. The lady looked at him as if he was crazy. How was he going to fight against a man with a weapon in his own. It just didn't make sense. “I don't think I can leave you here." Ariel’s voice felt like a cold water wash over Jeremy. He was glad that she wanted to she wanted to stay with him but he knew that he would not be able to fight to his fullest strength while trying to protect her. “You need to leave, Ariel. You'd only slow me down and endanger the both of us." Jeremy answered her. He took a step forward and the pain shot through him like an electric bolt, causing a groan to escape his lips. “Just leave. Noah is waiting for you." Jeremy revealed, hoping that it would push her to leave without

Anger seeped into Jeremy’s bones. He clenched his fingers into a fist and walked back to his room where he was visited by his nurse. “Can I help you with anything else, Mr. Jeremy?” The nurse said to Jeremy in a kind voice but the man simply shook his head. He would be better off alone so he could think of ways to turn his life around. “Okay then. I’ll be around the corner. If you need me just press the call bell. I’ll be coming in during the afternoon to serve you lunch and then you take your medicine.” The nurse simply bowed and left Jeremy to the comfort of his quiet time. “I can’t believe they’d speak to me like that. After everything I had done for them. I don’t think Ariel knows about this cause I know she’d never let them treat me this way.” Jeremy muttered to himself. He had seen no visitors since his time being here and he couldn’t help but worry about how his sister was faring all alone. Jeremy reached out and took an apple from a platter on his desk. The McDonald had r

The next morning, Jeremy went from the hospital and he arrived at Ariel’s company. “Hi, Bella. Is Ariel around?” Jeremy walked over to Bella and tried to get some information about Ariel. “Hey Jeremy. It’s been a while. Why haven’t you been available for a while?” Bella scrutinized Jeremy and wondered why he was dressed in such low clothes. “I have been busy. I’d like to see my wife please.” Jeremy was getting impatient as time went on. He could remember what the doctor had promised him saying that he could not start treatment until treatment had been made possible and Jeremy had to rush to Ariel. The doctor had warned him that if he delayed, he could endanger the life of his mother and Jeremy didn’t want to do that. “Okay. I am sorry. She’s in her office but she’s in a meeting. I don’t know if she would be able to attend to you.” Bella looked at the clip board she held close to her body. “I am her husband. She has no choice.” Jeremy said with a tinge of frustration when he he

“The little man has come to play.” Joachim was the first person to talk as the men walked to the car. Jeremy had a stoic look on his face, refusing to make any reactions. He had gotten quite used to the way they insulted him and he could not do anything about it. “Grow up, Joachim.” Ariel spoke up instead. She did not like seeing her husband being insulted, especially in front of her. Ariel couldn’t take her eyes off Jeremy. She had to admit that he was very handsome and why had she not seen it before. She walked past him, and his scent wafted through her nose. He had the scent of a hot cup of chocolate drink, especially one that was just brought out from the fire. Ariel refused to compliment him. She didn’t want him to realize that he was having a drastic effect on her. They all got into the car with Jeremy taking the driver’s seat and the siblings relaxing at the back of the jeep. Noah didn’t look impressed with Jeremy tagging along and he made sure to voice it out. “I hone

Jeremy arrives at his mansion with Ariel on a taxi. The siblings had left him and it was possible that Ariel had been persuaded to stay in the family mansion with her brothers. Although, Jeremy was not happy with the way he was treated by Ariel’s brothers, he felt he needed to apologize to Ariel. She would be able to reason more with him. “Would she even want to hear me out?” Jeremy thought to himself. He had undressed himself and walked to the kitchen to get some lunch when he heard a knock. “It’s ten pm, what kind of person would be visiting house at such a time.” Jeremy grumbled to himself. He had an urge to ignore the person and go to bed but he was a rather nice fellow. Jeremy quickly went to unlock the door and behind it, stood a lady dressed in a pale blue gown. She held bags of groceries by her side and the bags looked like they would fall down in a single minute. Without thinking, Jeremy moved f
