“What’s wrong with me?! How do you expect him to send us the money if I don’t give him my phone to do it?!” The girlfriend asked, annoyed. “And what if he takes your phone and runs away with it the moment you give it to him? What would you do then, huh?! I can’t believe you seriously trust him enough to do something so careless,” the rider complained. The girlfriend, on the other hand, frowned. “Do I look like I haven’t thought about that already?! What the hell do you take me for?!” She looked at the rider with disgust for belittling her. “I know there’s a possibility that he’ll run away with my phone once I hand it over to him—“ the girlfriend said, and the rider, who didn’t care to listen to what she was saying, quickly cut her off like he’s known to do. “Then why do it in the first place?!” He asked, also angry that she wasn’t listening to him. “Half a freaking million dollars, that’s why! We stand to gain five hundred fucking thousand dollars if he keeps to his end of the d
“Cool” Jeremiah smirked.“I’ll just give you my phone to make the transfer and the motorcycle will be all yours,” Britney said and was about to take her first step to Jeremiah when Kris interrupted her.Feeling hurt and betrayed, he said “If you give him that phone, then just know that our relationship is over!” “What?” Britney looked at Kris like he was being outlandish with his statement.“You heard me. Give him that phone against my will and kiss our relationship goodbye ‘cause I can’t be with someone who would take a stranger’s side over mine”“Are you being serious right now?” Britney asked, surprised by the ultimatum just given.“Yes, I am, so what’s it gonna be?” Kris said, feeling confident that Britney would do anything to keep their relationship going.The girl pondered for a moment, thinking about what she should do.She weighed the benefits of the share of the money she would get from selling the motorcycle to what she had and would gain from continuing to date Kris and o
“Do you want a ride?” Jeremiah asked, sitting on this newly bought motorcycle and staring at the beautiful vixen a few feet away.“Yes,” Britney smiled then abandoned her unconscious ex-boyfriend and walked over to the motorcycle. “Here,” Jeremiah said as he gave her the helmet she had left on the seat when she first got off the motorcycle and she thanked him with a lovely smile. Everything about Jeremiah gave her butterflies in her stomach. From his dashing looks to the way he spoke, to the mystery surrounding him.Who was he and where did he come from? The uncertainty drove her crazy and in the moment she felt like the female lead of a romantic novel who was about to be swept away and taken on a wild adventure. Britney got on the motorcycle then she looked at Kris’s unconscious body and asked Jeremiah “Are we just going to leave him there like that? What if something happens to him?”Jeremiah looked at the young man he had knocked out with a single punch and he groaned. “Don’t w
"Where the hell is my rent, Jeremiah?!" Inside the poorly furnished living room of a one-bedroom apartment, the elderly landlord and his son glared at a young man who had tape, ribbons, and pieces of popped balloons all over his body. "But, Mister Owens, my rent hasn't expired yet and you know that. I still have a week until I have to renew, so why are you hassling me for it like this?" Jeremiah Garrick said with a confused look on his face.The landlord frowned."Did you forget that I gave you a one-week extension when you didn't have the money on time last month? That extension means that you owe me a week and I'm deducting it from the one you have left which means your rent expires today!" Jeremiah's eyes widened."That's not fair! You can't just decide to do something like that without first informing me about it. Even if my wife and I go around town and start begging everyone we see, it'll be impossible to make the rent within the amount of time you're giving me" Jeremiah comp
Jeremiah couldn't believe what he was seeing. It was like he was stuck in a nightmare and no matter how hard he tried, he wasn't able to wake up. On closer inspection, he realized that the man who was making love to his wife was none other than his former boss and owner of the Ludwig resort, Mr. Paul Ludwig. "What was that—?" Mary asked as she told Paul to hold on a moment and then checked what caused the noise she heard. To her surprise, she saw Jeremiah staring at her infidelity with grief in his eyes, and her mood immediately soured. "What are you doing here, Jeremiah?!" Mary asked angrily as she quickly got out from under Paul and covered herself with the bedsheet. "Mary, how could you do this to me?" Jeremiah sniffled. "Weren't we supposed to be celebrating our anniversary at home, so why are you here, in bed with Mister Paul?" Tears fell down Jeremiah's eyes. “Who the hell are you and how did you get in here?” Paul frowned at Jeremiah. “It’s my useless husband, that’s w
Jeremiah spent a whole ten minutes lying on the ground, not being able to believe that in less than a couple of minutes he had lost the only person that made him happy. "What do I do now? All the years I put into our relationship, trying my best to make her happy was all for nothing. If only I wasn’t a nobody who couldn’t afford to give her what she wanted—" Jeremiah said but was interrupted when his phone started ringing. "Who the hell is it this time?" Jeremiah grumbled and decided to ignore the call. After a few seconds, the call ended but then the phone started ringing again. Jeremiah got angry that the caller couldn’t take the hint to not call back. He sat up and took out his phone from his pocket so he could terminate the call. He was about to hit the terminate button but looked at the caller ID and his eyes widened. He quickly changed tunes and, instead, swiped to answer the call then he put the phone on his ear. "Good evening, nurse Victoria! I hope everything is alri
Jeremiah, who tried to cope with what he just heard, chuckled. “I’m sorry, doctor, but I don’t think I heard you properly. You said my mother is what—?“ Jeremiah said, trying his best to trick himself into not believing what Doctor Gabriel told him. Unfortunately, the sad expressions he saw on the doctor's and Nurse Victoria’s faces made it hard. "Doctor Gabriel, please stop joking,” Jeremiah said and then looked at Nurse Victoria beside him. "My mom is fine so tell Doctor Gabriel to stop lying to me. Please" Jeremiah pleaded but all he got from the nurse was the look of pity. "I'm sorry Mister Jeremiah, but as I said, her body was just too weak for the severity of the heart attack. Please accept my condolences" Doctor Gabriel lowered his head to Jeremiah. Jeremiah's eyes widened when the realization of his mother’s death finally sank in. Confused and lost about what to do, he looked at the Doctor and didn’t know what to say back. “I know this doesn’t ease your pain but
Mary threw the jewelry box on the floor and held the necklace between her middle and index fingers."I said are you fucking stupid? This cheap thing is what you thought a classy woman like me would like? Tell me, Jeremiah, how am I supposed to walk around with this nonsense around my neck?" She asked aggressively and Jeremiah grimaced."But you were singing how much you wanted it not too long ago, which is why I got it. What changed?” Jeremiah asked.“I did! My level has been upgraded, thanks to Paul, and even holding this thing makes my skin crawl. This is what I think of your stupid anniversary gift," she said then walked over to where the trash can was and threw the necklace inside.She smacked her tongue then returned to the couch to get her cardboard box of personal belongings and started heading for the door. "Mary, how can you be this cruel? Can we just sit down and talk about all of this? If not for me then do it for the years we spent together" Jeremiah pleaded but his words
