That night, Jack couldn't sleep, insomnia invaded him because of the overthinking
Cassandre noticed that her husband is somehow anxious and annoyed by everything he is facing.
One minute he was coming and going along the room, the other he was standing at the window.
She woke up several times to check on him, and always found him awake. So she decides to get up and speak to him
Cassandre:" Honey, why are you still awake?"
Jack:" It's nothing darling, go back to bed."
Cassandre:" I will, once you tell me what's bothering you."
Jack:" I'm just thinking about Jeremy. What does he want after all this years. Why is he back in our lives."
Cassandre:" I don't know yet, but we will figure it out together, as always."
She takes him by his hand and leads him to bed, and he fell asleep in her arms like a child.
The next day, at the breakfast, the children were asking a lot about Jeremy and what he has to do with their dad's case.
But Cassandre did not say a word, she wanted Jack to explain the story from the past.
As Jack sit for breakfast, Samuel asked him about Jeremy
Jack:" Don't worry about my business. I will sort it out soon."
Steve:" But dad, we are a family and we have every right to know who is after our father."
Jack:" Deal, I will tell you everything if you want to know. This story goes back a long time, when your mother and I were still at the university. I was studying business with Jeremy, we were best friends back then. And when your mother came to the university, it was love at first sight. Unfortunately I wasn't the only one who fell for her. And Jeremy was more comfortable with women than I was. He invited her out and she accepted, but after that date she wasn't interested anymore and didn't hid it from him. His ego couldn't let her go, so he was always after her trying to ask her out again but she refused everytime. During this time, we were going out together and we started falling in love. As he was my best friend I wanted him to know so I asked Cassandre to join me and I invited him to the restaurant, he was surprised by her presence. After I told him that we were seeing each other for a while and now we're together his gaze changed, and he became furiously jealous. He started yelling at me, saying that I wasn't his friend anymore and he is gonna make me regret. I thought that he will be upset for a while and then will call down and forgive me. But time has passed and nothing changed. Until that day, I was sick and couldn't make it to the university, Cassandre had finished her classes and was on her way to my house, she wanted to surprise me and so did I. Even if I was sick, there is something that pushed me to go and pick her up. And that's when I saw him, he was trying to take her by force. He had followed her all the way from the university and was waiting for the right time to take her. Seeing him touching her made me full of rage. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I attacked him with all my strength. I kept punching him till I saw blood running down his face and body, I told him not to come near her again. After that day we never heard from him again."
