Forced Marriage: Escaping Her Monster-Chapter 327 - The One Who Sent The Pictures
Chapter 327 - The One Who Sent The Pictures
"Pictures? Of me and Gerard?" Jerlina asked and he nodded. "I am being followed?" she was surprised.
She thought the threat to her life is neutralized and she is not watched anymore. But that is not the case?
"It's not me," Jeremy wanted to clear that in case she misunderstands. He would never do such a thing without her knowledge. It's disgraceful if he asks someone to watch his wife.
"No," Jerlina shook her head. "I know it can't be you," she scratched her head. She knows Jeremy won't do such a thing. "So who was it?" she asked.
"I don't know," Jeremy shook his head. "But it seemed like they wanted me to think that you are meeting him behind my back and that you are close with him."
"Oh?" Jerlina raised her eyebrows. "But there were a lot of people around… Who would want to... Can I see the pictures?" She asked. "Why would someone-"
"I deleted them," Jeremy said and Jerlina was stunned.
"Why did you..? We could have found out who was behind this!" she looked at him and he bowed his head.
"You didn't doubt me, did you, Joel?" She asked seeing him not meeting her eyes. "Now I feel bad for not telling you immediately."
"No, no, don't," Jeremy hugged her. Then he kissed her forehead and spoke looking into her eyes. She can never misunderstand him regarding this.
"I never doubted you. I knew someone was deliberately stirring trouble and I didn't want to give importance to such obvious malice towards us. But it made me sad you didn't tell me. I went to your company and they told me that you were never there and when I called you I knew you were by the beach and… I was sad you didn't come to me…" he opened up.
Her amber eyes are so mystical, they'd suck the truth out of him very easily.
Jerlina got more stunned.
"Why didn't you ask me?" she hit his chest. "Why did you keep it in and… Idiot!"
He obviously was affected by it. So why didn't he ask me?
"Well, I…" Jeremy only then realized that he could have done that. Rather than trying to make her say the truth, he could have asked her point-blank.
"I wanted you to tell me yourself…" he said. That was the truth.
"You're…" Jerlina pinched his arm making him shout.
"What was that for?" he asked rubbing his arm. He felt like he was pricked by a needle. This one is violent!
"You're an idiot!" she tried to pinch him but he grabbed her hand. "Will you wait for me to tell you that I am cheating too?" she asked.
"What?" Jeremy didn't quite get what she said and asked.
"If I cheat, will you keep all the doubts in your heart and expect me to break it to you?" she asked.
"Cheat?" Jeremy's lips curved and Jerlina only then realized that she is saying stupid stuff again. 𝗳𝒓𝚎e𝚠𝒆𝐛𝐧𝐨v𝚎Ɩ.co𝓶
"No! What I meant was…"
As she was speaking, he pinned her hands above her head and leaned closer to her face.
"You should be asking me directly," she finished her sentence.
But no, her husband was not listening to her. He started to nibble on her lips. His chest hair started to rub on her chest as he moved over her and she closed her eyes as her heart started to race.
Gently, he kissed her. His soft lips on her lips made her lose herself and when his tongue trailed over her sensitive lips, she leaned closer for more. She wanted more of this intimacy.
But he left her lips and leaned back. Then he started to laugh.
"What?" she tried to hit him but he was still holding her hands by the wrists.
"As if you'd be able to cheat on me," he said kissing her forehead. "You are too dumb to cheat."
"Well…" Jerlina was a little offended to be called dumb but it is not wrong to be dumb in this regard.
And he probably is right. She is not very good at hiding things.
"Hug me. I am cold," she decided to change the topic.
"Accept that you're dumb," he whispered in her ears with a chuckle.
But even before she said anything, he let go of her wrists and wrapped her around her shoulder, pulling her closer to his chest.
Jerlina's lips curved delighted in his embrace. As his pine scent enveloped her, she wrapped her arms around his back.
"I am not dumb. I love you," she said and he kissed her head.
"You better not forget it."
He lay beside her and spooned her. His big hand glided over her chest and his lips curved sensing her tensing up.
"Want more of me, Jeryl?" he whispered in her ear.
Without saying anything she held his hand and guided it to her peaks.
Vixen!
"Should we find out who sent me the images?" he breathed in her ear, kneading her soft peaks.
"Hmm," she let out a pleased hum. "It would be better if we know who did that."
Jerlina didn't think that they would succeed in splitting them up but it won't hurt to know who is planning on doing that.
Jeremy could see her breathing getting heavy and she has warmed up with his gentle caresses. He got excited too as he started to grind himself on her.
It was then he noticed her phone blinking with notification and he picked it up.
"Why?" she was not impressed he stopped. ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m
"It's Gordon," he passed her the phone.
"Gordon?" she got stressed and got her phone.
She made sure that she would call Jonathan at the right time and they know not to disturb her other times. But anyone who has old relatives knows that any unexpected phone call could be the harbinger of sad news.
"It might be nothing," Jeremy patted her back.
"I hope so too," Jerlina checked the message.
Reading the message, she shook her head. "It was Amanda Prescott!"
"Amanda who? What?" Jeremy didn't understand what she meant.
"The one who tailed me and took pictures of me was Amanda… You know that "journalist" you bewitched? That one!" She said with a bitter tone.
Seeing his empty look, Jerlina sighed. "Never mind…But wait!" She sat on the bed and Jeremy hugged her from the back. "How did Gordon knew Amanda took pictures of me? That old man!" She gritted her teeth.
She had told him again and again that she doesn't need his "protection" but he never listened to her, did he?
Jeremy stopped her from calling Gordon when she is angry. "If he is revealing that they are watching over you knowing you won't like it, could that Amanda be a serious threat to you?"
He only cared about that.
"What threat? That old man must need a reason to kill people and ruin families. And so he will use this chance. He already asked me if I wanted Emma dead and I told him to not to interfere in my life.. Now…" As she was speaking, she received another message from Gordon.
