Since Hazel was here to help out she couldn't just spend the whole day crying in her friend's arms so after talking to her she just let Gizzel rest and went to help out with the shores.
This island wasn't that big and the news travel fast so it was obvious that Jeremy heard about what happened. He was at work when he heard people talking about the murder that happened recently and when he came to know that it's Gizzel's husband he felt like lucky was on his side.
He had long wanted to have Gizzel as his side piece, but that husband of hers was a gangster and even if Jeremy had hundreds guts he wouldn't have dared to make a move on her. They will only flirt from time to time and spend time talking, which was harmless but as time goes their actions become more ambiguous but they dared not to cross the line.
After lunch Jeremy when on the back of the building and dialed Gizzel's number, it rang for a while and Jeremy took a long puff of cigarette impentiently waiting for it to be answered.
" Hey! " The feminine voice spoke.
Jeremy's whole body trembled and his lust couldn't be hidden. He pictured the way lady-like Gizzel look, she was classy unlike his petite wife whose chest was almost flat. For a moment he was speechless , this woman really knew how to seduce men effortlessly.
" Are you there? " The voice spoke again.
This time Jeremy snapped out of it and cleared his throat. He then spoke calmly as he tries to suppress his excitement " Morning! I heard about your husband, am so sorry "
He heard a sob from the other side and his heart was paining to heard her sobbing. He hated the fact that the woman he wanted was crying over some man who is already a corpse . " Don't cry, Do you want me to come over? "
Hearing that Gizzel rolled her big brown eyes, She thought that this man must be stupid, doesn't he know that she had just become a widow and if anyone saw them together she will be thr topic to gossiped?
However, Gizzel kept her thought to herself and spoke softly " Your wife and kids are here, maybe after his burial we can talk ".
Jeremy was so mad, that woman of his wasn't only annoying, she is also useless, even without doing nothing she is causing him troubles.
He coughed and then spoke in a very harsh tone" What is there to care about, she is just a woman , what will she do to me? "
Gizzel was also a woman and she knew this type of chauvinist men. She had married one after all , " You , Big Brother Jeremy , don't say that, my sister is the most kind person I know "
Jeremy was furious after hearing that , he took a cigarette and threw it away " What is kindness had to do with pleasing your husband, I would have married you if we met sooner, don't stoop down to her level "
" But..."
Gizzel wanted to speak but Jeremy didn't let her , " I'll send you the money this afternoon , now that your husband isn't here let big brother take care of you okay? "
Although she seem reluctant, Gizzel ended agreed and hung up the phone , Jeremy was very satisfied. This is type of woman he wanted not some two good shoes. In his heart he already planned for divorce after all it's not like they have any kids together.
As he was about to go back , suddenly someone came from behind and hugged him tightly and pouted " Aren't you ashamed talking behind your wife's back , don't you have a pride as a husband at all? "
Knowing who was talking Jeremy smiled and spoke in disdain." How much is pride worth, can it be exchanged for money ".
He then grabbed the hand of the person behind him and pinned him to the wall, gazing at the face he missed so much, Jeremy's rare smile appeared on his face. He looked at the boy with so much adoration and longing, This person is Hazel's cousin, Alex, and Jeremy's first love.
Alex was the only person he had ever loved in this life, It's just that he couldn't stand the temptation of females body so he is just venting his desires as well as hiding his true self.
He then lean forward and gave the boy a peck. " I'm sorry, I have made you suffer so much"
Alex shook his head and smiled. " It's okay, I know this is unacceptable in society's eyes and I'm just worried that my cousin will be so disappointed if she found about us ".
Jeremy looked at him and swallowed hard. It was only because her eyes resembles Alex's that he took her as his wife , but everything about the two were completely opposite, from their temperament to their styles, the two were heaven and earth.
Seeing how much Alex's suffers from guilt he held him even closer. " Don't worry, I'll divorce her soon and you wouldn't be suffering any longer " He assured him.
" Are you saying that you won't remarry again? ".
Jeremy hesitated for a moment, after all , he was planning to divorce Hazel not only because he was tired of her and to appease his lover, The main reason was that he wanted to have a new wife, He might love Alex but other that being a mistress, Alex can't have another title, he needed someone to be there for him all the time.
" Don't worry about women I have, they are just decorations, they are like rocks, Am not even treating them like human beings. You are the only one I love, Be good and I won't mistreat, Okay? ".
Seeing that his mood wasn't good Alex didn't want to press on the matter but deep inside he was shaking in anger, this dog of a man was thinking with his lower body, he doesn't know what the word' Faithful ' means.
" Okay, I'll listen to my husband ".
Alex's voice was so sweet, hearing the word
'husband' from him Jeremy lost all his reasoning, If only they weren't at work he will make him lose his voice from screaming.
He held back and grabbed Alex's hand." Let's go back , If someone saw us it will be a disaster ".
...
After hanging up the phone Gizzel was in good mood. After getting her husband insurance money and cheating that Jeremy into giving her a large sum, she will run away from this small Island and go to the mainland and become a single rich lady. She didn't care about anyone else, not even her own children, She will just throw them in a boarding school and will sent them money from time to time.
And speaking of children, she doesn't even know where they are at the moment, she was so tired to even think about them so she leisurely locked the door and rest when someone came to knock she will start to sob and pretend like she was so hurt.
There was a knock on the door and Just like usual she started crying, this time it was an older woman who came and hugged her. " Ooh! Poor child, you shouldn't be suffering like this. Am so sorry. I just heard that the prophet will be here in the evening to give her condolences ".
Gizzel was stiff for a second.
" Do you mean Wren Morningstar? The Wren ? " .
