***Completed*** Jerlina struggled hard to get out of the small town filled with gangs not only to improve her life, but also to get away from 'him' - the one she calls 'The Monster'. No, he really was not a monster... He was 'her monster'. 'He' had devoted his life for his little sister. She had offended him by breaking the friendship with his little sister. She thought she escaped it all when years passed and she settled in the city. A nice job, a lovely boyfriend, a small home for them... She thought she had what she needed. She almost forgot about 'him'. But then he came back in her life for his sister, and took everything away from her. Her boyfriend, her little home, her freedom, and to her dismay he even took the child in her belly. And he forced her to marry him! Why? Will she escape his clutches? ----- He is a self-made man although he is from a powerful family. He has attained everything he has, working hard with his own hands. He has plans, He has secrets. But for him, she is the moon. She is his first love. She came to him one noisy night and he couldn't forget her from then. But every time he tries to get close to her, she suffers as if they are not meant to be. He wanted to stay away from her to not see her suffer. He did stay away from her for years. But when a chance presented itself pushing her to him, he couldn't stay back and tried to get close to her. And he got close to her to help her, but then he made her lose her child unwittingly. What should I do? I can't just give up on her! ----- One heart filled with resentment and another filled with remorse... What will be of them? Can his love make her resentment go away? Or will his remorse consume him? Will she see his remorse over her resentment? Will she forgive? Will there be romance? Or will there be blood? ----- Thank you readers. Updates will be at least one chapter daily. Cover picture is not mine. Will take down on request.

Chapter 1Facing The Monster

*****CONTENT WARNING – The first few chapters contains contents like miscarriage and suicidal thoughts that can be triggering for some. Read under your own discretion.*****

*Swish*

The golden leaves on the road blew aside by the wind displaced by the rushing car. The squirrel, who was burying his acorn by the dirt road, scampered away to the nearest tree.

"Ah… There is the road, baby… Don't panic, mom will drive safely. Are you growing well, baby? Is that why my back hurts? It's good. Momma can bear it."

Speaking in a hushed tone, not knowing whether she was comforting the twelve week old fetus in her belly or herself, Jerlina Hopkins gripped the steering wheel as she took a sharp right turn. Her slightly trembling hands caressed her lower abdomen as she looked at the rear view mirror.

Good! No one's following us!

She increased the speed and the silver Camry sped through the dirt road lined with trees on both side.

I have to get out of here… The wedding... Baby… If I tell your dad about you, will he stop the wedding..? Ugh! I know he would. He's a good man. He might have been coerced by the Harrison family for this wedding…

There is more an hour for the wedding... should we go there?

Jerlina talked to herself, while checking the rear view mirror occasionally. As she adjusted the mirror, even she was surprised to see the reflection of the dirty woman with the messy hair; someone a stranger to her. She averted her eyes to look at the road knowing this is not the time for self-pity. She pushed back the tears formed in her eyes.

Harrison… I despise you for doing this to me.

She saw the highway at the distance amidst the thick rows of trees and her heart skipped a beat seeing the fork at the end.

"If I go right, we can go to my place. If I go left, we can meet your father… Baby, what should I do?" She sighed. She really couldn't decide.

She slowed down the car and after making sure there is no one following her, stopped the car. Running her fingers through her shoulder-length hair, she fixed it the best she can. She got the wet tissue from the glove box and wiped her face, while contemplating her next move.

Just when she had a chance, she escaped without thinking twice.

"Before I could tell your father that I was pregnant, that monster kidnapped me. Should I just leave like this, baby? Doesn't he deserve to know that I am pregnant with you?"

What should I do?

She closed her eyes and the smiling face of the man in her heart came to her smile.

'Jer, I love you. I know there are troubles around, but I will find a way for us to be together. For now let's be apart. Just… trust me.'

Remembering the words he said the day before he broke up with her, tears started rolling down from her eyes.

Looking at the mirror, her amber eyes twinkled as she reached to a decision.

"Yes! That's it… Now we can go. Let's sneak in somehow and have a chat with dad." she shifted the gear and accelerated the car. She never was a confrontational person and she doesn't appreciate creating scenes and she decided to handle it all, amicably.

If only I can sneak in without alerting that Jeremy Joel Harrison a.k.a. 'Triple Jay' or 'TJ' the notorious delinquent in this county and probably this state, and also my kidnapper, I can meet my Gerry.

She knows the man she loved. He is her first love and she is his first love too. They are… They were in a relationship for seven years and she knows him like the back of her hand. If not for the Harrison family, they'd still be together.

Even if he had changed his mind and really wanted to marry Emma Harrison, he should know I'm carrying his child, shouldn't he? It is only fair.

She checked the time in the dashboard clock.

3: 23 p.m.

Yeah, let's do it!

As Jerlina got closer to the road to take a left turn, she felt darkness at her side and reflexively, she turned to look.

Her blood curded up seeing that six wheeled truck – Velociraptor or whatever, dark as a moonless night just like the heart of the owner, hiding behind thick shrubs. The dark gold circles around the headlights, made it seem like a big cat with sharp eyes that had marked its prey. Like a jaguar lying in wait for its prey, it had waited for her arrival this long.

Jerlina felt a chill pass through her spine and she froze. In this county, there is only one who could afford to own such an expensive truck.

How long was he here? Why is he here and not with his sister? He knows I escaped?

Jerlina's hands shook and maybe out of fear, she felt a sharp cramp in her stomach.

"Don't be scared, baby…" She caressed her belly, while thinking how to escape that monster looming by her side.

Perspiration formed in her forehead as she felt pain all over her body seeping through her bones, but her will to escape the monster enabled her to step on the pedal. She knew even that monster would be limited in his ability to hurt her once she gets on the road where there will be cops patrolling and gritting her teeth, she pushed through.

*CLANG*

As she moved just a meter, she felt the clash by her passenger seat side. Her throat dried, her eyes widened, her heartbeat quickened making her adrenaline shoot up. She knew she cannot fight that monster and her instinct told her to flee - she pedalled the accelerator.

But her puny car could do nothing to outrun that monster of a car with 600HP. He was skilful in stopping her car from moving forward and started pushing her car away from the road towards a boulder by the side.

Is he going to crush me to death? Am I going to die here? My baby… I'm sorry… I'm sorry I didn't protect you.

Her head felt dizzy immediately after a popping sound as the airbags deployed. She heard a loud sound of horn or it could be her ear ringing. Her heart was racing… Her car's engine had stopped and she couldn't hear the other car. She looked to her side and the glass was cracked hard and she couldn't see anything clearly.

What is happening..? Did he leave? Did I hit my head? Why is everything blurry? No… Not this!

She in her half-conscious state clutched her stomach as the shooting pain wanted her to faint and stay awake at the same time. She never went through pregnancy before, but at that time, she knew what was going on.

I'm losing my baby!

Hospital… I need to get to the hospital… I need to escape that monster first…

She tried to unbuckle her seatbelt, but her hands were trembling so hard she couldn't even do that simple task.

No… be strong Jerlina… You have to get out of here to save your baby.

She gritted her teeth and tried once more and the belt unbuckled. She sighed in relief and not minding the pain that spread to her legs, she opened the car door. But it only opened a few inches and it seemed like her car was stuck against the boulder.

Oh no! What can I do?

"Going somewhere, honey buns?"

That eerie voice laced with mockery, made her skin crawl and she yelped.

He's still here?

"Come on, let's get out…" He grabbed her arm. Upon contact with his rough, big hands, she flinched and tried to escape, but at the same time she felt another cramp in her abdomen and she stopped struggling as she was pulled out through the passenger door.

He pulled her out so easily like a mother picking up her toddler from the sandbox.

Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved

“I, Tang Li, will only marry the most powerful and influential man in the world!” The powerful man, Song Boyan, was the man she was clinging onto now. The man was holding a cigarette between his fingers. He touched her chin softly. “Do you know what you are talking about?” “I want to be Mrs. Song.” Mr. Song laughed aloud. “You do like to brag. Aren’t you afraid of its consequences?” He received a kiss just as he was done talking. Her previous life was awful because she had loved the wrong man. After her rebirth, she had made a vow that she wanted to set things straight for herself. However, she had clung onto a powerful man in the end. Their marriage was rather chaotic too. “Sir, Madam has ruined the eastern wall of the manor.” “Protect her well. Don’t let her hurt herself.” “Sir, Madam said that she wants to run away from home with the young master.” Mr. Song sighed and put down the documents in his hands. “Send them to wherever they want to go. Don’t let them get lost on the way,” Mr. Song ordered.

Transmigrated Into The True Heiress

Eira Kingston, a feared assassin, never imagined that death would lead her to transmigrate into the body of Ephyra Allen, the disgraced first daughter of the once-powerful Allen family. But what shocked her even more was the soft mechanical voice in her mind, addressing her as "master" and informing her that her soul had returned to its original body. Eira dismissed the strange voice, thinking she was having a post-death hallucination. But waking up in a hospital, with memories that weren’t hers flooding back, she was forced to confront the truth. Ephyra’s life had been nothing short of a nightmare. Despite being the legitimate daughter, she was labeled a bastard, shunned by all, and overshadowed by her scheming stepsister, who had stolen the love of her father and her betrothed. To make matters worse, the wealth and status the Allen family enjoyed were all thanks to Ephyra’s late mother, and the only reason she hadn’t been discarded entirely was due to her mother’s inheritance, locked away until she turned eighteen. But Eira wasn’t one to be defeated by circumstances. If she was going to live Ephyra’s life, she would do so on her own terms. She would destroy those who had caused Ephyra pain, claim the inheritance that was rightfully hers, and find out who was behind her own death. Because if there was one thing Eira knew how to do well, it was to survive—and make her enemies pay. However, being a high-schooler with nothing to her name wasn’t enough. As Ephyra, she’s powerless, but as an assassin, she’s lethal. Still, even that wasn't enough until she became the contracted wife of Lyle Aelion—a powerful, enigmatic figure in the business world with a secret illness. And it turns out, the only thing that can relieve him is her scent.

After Marrying Him, the Ending Has Changed

The well-off little salted fish transmigrated to a poor era, where her grandparents valued boys over girls, leading to a miserable life for their granddaughters. Fortunately, her dad, though lazy, slippery, and illogical, shamelessly relying on his parents and taking advantage of his siblings, was protective of his daughters. Her drama queen mother, who was lazy but liked to eat, often tried to coax food off of her, yet she always left a portion for her. There was also the Scholar Tyrant System that pressured her every day to strive for progress, capable of using high-tech to hunt and allowing her to eat meat!! It wasn't until her cousin from her second uncle's family changed drastically after nearly drowning that Jiang Mianmian realized she was in a reborn female protagonist novel of that era, and her family of three was destined to meet a tragic end as reprehensible relatives. However, Jiang Mianmian, who knew the plot well, was fully capable of avoiding the tragic deaths of her parents and was not afraid of the seemingly strong but actually hollow protagonist. Her only worry was the powerful ally backing the protagonist. Then she discovered that the protagonist’s powerful ally was none other than the beautiful young man her father had rescued from the icy river last month! So Jiang Mianmian was completely reassured. With this life-saving favor, the young man would definitely not side with the protagonist against her family in the future. Moreover, Dashan took the initiative and said, "Little Lamb, I’d like to court you with the intent of getting a marriage license, is that okay?" As someone obsessed with good looks, Jiang Mianmian struggled and then reluctantly refused, “No, I plan to have a son-in-law who will marry into the family.” The powerful ally didn’t hesitate, “Then I’ll be the son-in-law who marries into the family, and the children will take the Jiang surname!” Jiang Mianmian: “Let’s go, get the marriage license!” (Updated and posted at 10:10 AM on the 16th of this month)

It's a wonderful book with many unexpected turns. You need a few chapters to get into the story, but after that, I couldn't stop myself from reading. At first Jeremy (ML) seems very unlikeable and I couldn't imagine that he could ever redeem himself, but he isn't the "Monster" I first thought of. He is a really sweet guy who loves Jerlina so much, but is just a bit dumb to realize how he and Jerlina got manipulated by a certain someone (not gonna spoil). It's a story of lot of misunderstandings, but after they got cleared, you're in for a great love story of two people who bring out the best in each other.

I rarely ever write book reviews and just silently support the books but this book is totally worth a review, the author laid such beautiful emphasis on each character making them feel so real. At first you'd think Joel (ML) is really such a monster and you'd think there's no way to redeem him but he is such a beautiful person at heart and the way the author explained to the tiny details on how everyone feels and not just skipping their feelings and the way the explanations on miscarriages, kidnapping and emotional manipulation was explained into detail was so great and the way each character (especially Jerlina(FL/MC)) development was created is sooooo good. My review seems all jumbled up but I just finished reading this novel and it feels like a part of me has just been seperated😭. Anyways BRAVO author you did a great job 😘

Grammar on point. Spacing on point. Narration and dialogue, check. Jerlina has gone through a lot in the first 8 chapters and I sympathize with her. She losing her baby was a big blow to me because it made me really cry. Male lead so far isn't so appealing to me because of his character but I have hopes that he will develop but before that, I just don't have an impression on him. The main story is interesting because it seems the male lead has carried an unrequited love for Jerlina since forever but he has a terrible way of showing it. Enters the green tea bitch of sister who he is yet to find out her true nature. In all, I will be around with my cup of coffee sipping and waiting to see because I love Jerlina.

Hi, this is my third book in Webnovel. Hope you will enjoy reading this. The FL is Jerlina. She worked hard to be where she is and she believes in taking personal responsibility. She doesn't think the end justify the means. Her life is upturned when her boyfriend who according to her is the only one who truly loved her broke up with her and marries her enemy. The ML is Jeremy Harrison. He is a loud, crude and boorish guy who takes no nonsense. He falls for Jerlina and in his attempt to keep her safe, he does some unthinkable thing that shattered her soul. He wants to be her protector when all she wants is to escape him. This is a romance story but it is slow burning since the FL hates - I'm not using the word 'hate' loosely. She despises him. She won't warm up to him immediately, but she will gradually get to know him and learn that a lot of her opinions about him are wrong. It will take 50+ chapters for the FL to learn about him and after that she will slowly have her heart moved. Updates will be at least one chapter daily. If this book reaches trending ranks, I will do mass releases. Although English is not my first language, I try to be as grammatically correct as possible and you won't find a lot of errors (hopefully). Thank you for choosing to read my book and I hope you like it.

Okay... Second review after 132 Chapters. The story development is very good. Jerlina genuinely hated Jeremy at first but then she slowly learns about the situations that led them where they are. Jeremy is very trusting of his sister but he is not stupid to believe her entirely. He investigates and he thinks for himself and with Jerlina's help started to see how Emma truly is. The character development is awesome!💕💯 Love this book very much 💞 I purchased coins for the first time to read this book. That's how amazing this book is 💝 Those two will make an amazing couple. Can't wait for more ❣️ And this is an amazing author we all need to support with our everything 💖

Another amazing work by author Golda 👍👏 Must read! It would make you feel a lot of emotions. The FL is suffering a lot since a lot of powerful people are conspiring against her. Her family is trash too. I still can't accept the ml and I hope she really leaves him. The ex is not good either. I hope she finds someone who truly loves her. The other characters if the book so far may frustrate you, but they are true to their character. A mother will try to stand by her son as much as she can but she knows her sons actions are wrong and tries to protect the FL. The nurse tries her best too. The ml is a leader if a gang and too powerful so not many can go against him. Hope he gets what he deserves.

I have seen this book in feature, though the title attracted me but the piles of errands didn't allow me to pick it up until recently. This first chapter locked my interest and there is no secret I would be following the book. To be honest, it hurted me to know how the fl suffered all these years and Emma...if I was allowed a murder in the world. I would murder her with my own hands and throw her into the Pacific Oceanto feed to the fishes. Gerry...i have mixed feeling about him. Jeremy, dude please for the sake of your luna, clear all the mess you made. And I sympathise with the heroine but she needs to grow a brain to look at the big picture and not to let the grief blind her. The writing style was as smooth as butter 😂 and technically it was the reason I didn't left it after reading it for a few chapters. There are some book that took a spot in ur head and this was that book. And author can you please hasten the updates and increase the number of chapters you post in one go?
