At a silent beckon, the guards grabbed Diana before she could advance towards Arisa who fell unconscious due to nervousness. "Hey". Diana wriggled in their arms as John approached her. "Let go of me!!!". Once John stepped towards her, her mouth fell open and her eyes widened like saucers. She stopped struggling instantly and the guards pushed her to her knees. "Mr. Iowa". She breathed heavily as she looked down. "W..What are you doing here". A brow raised, he asked with amusement and irritation while Bianca stared at the scene, shocked. "Am I supposed to explain my presence to you". In a second, he pushed out his leg gracefully and kicked her on the jaw. The guards stepped aside as she fell on her back. Everyone stepped back from the scene. It wasn't right but who were they to stop the Mafia Lord. He could even set them ablaze and they wouldn't do anything. Josh ran towards Arisa without thinking and carried her in his arms. To everyone, he was a doctor doing his job but to L
The tip of her ears turned red with embarrassment and fear ; nevertheless she tried to keep calm. "Boy sit down this instant. Don't make me shoot those legs of yours". John said from behind and Matt turned in shock. "You!!!". He said with a dark look on his face. "What are you doing here". "I came to see how my son-in-law was holding up. I've been reading the news, you know". Lily rushed out of John's arms when she became uncomfortable and helped Matt into the wheelchair. Matt scoffed at John's words as Lily helped him. "Still having hopes aren't you?". John placed his hands in his pocket, unbothered. "You made this decision a long time ago and you suddenly think you can toss my Princess in th dark because of some slut?...". Lily began arranging the mess he had made, acting like she wasn't even in the room. Matt wheeled over to John and he smirked down at him like he was looking at a deformed wretched person. "Risking your life for a cheap home wrecker". He clicked his tong
"Babe!!!". Arisa called out in panic as Matt staggered towards her trying to balance on his two legs. She threw her legs down ready to stand but he grabbed her by the knees and their eyes locked. She saw mixed feelings swirling in his eyes. Despair, hopeless, gratitude and sadness.She looked at her father who silently stood at the doorway with his signature "amused" look. Lily had made up some excuse to leave them but John will face that later. She looked down when Matt grabbed her hand and ran his thumb over her engagement ring. "You saved my life...". He looked at her and they locked eyes again. "...And I'm more than thankful for that...". "You don't have to be .. I'm just doing my duty as your future wife". She stammered. Matt breathed out. "Arisa.....I owe you but...aside marriage..I can give you anything you want. Can't you think of something else". Arisa's eyes spammed as she pulled her hand away from his grasp. "W...what are you saying...you want to leave me for tha
Bianca was at home with Jae and Diana. She had driven down to her father's place to get him and also check on her father's health, making sure the maids were taking proper care of him. Her heart flipped severally as she watched Jae lying still on the bed, looking so cold and shriveled. She blinked away the tears in her eyes as she raised the blanket up to his chin and left the room. As she climbed down the stairs, down to the living room, she glanced at the mansion beside her house and scoffed as she looked away. She wasn't going to let anything ruin her mood on a Sunday morning. "How are you doing". She asked Diana who was making coffee for the both of them. There was a bruise at the side of her lips. "Never been better". Diana replied dryly and gave her a cup. "Latte". She adds when Bianca sips hers. "Just how you like it". "Anything I have to know concerning the news". Bianca asked as they sat on the high stools surrounding her kitchen slab. "Matt's been discharged...". She
Josh watched her lean over the rails, over looking the tall buildings and ant-sized people while sobbing. He didn't have the confidence to go over and just watched as she cried like a broken person. After some time, he finally came forward and Arisa turned to the sound of the bag, rustling. "What are YOU doing here". She said, wiping her eyes angrily. "Come to gasconade". "I..uh....I thought you were still hungry". He raised the bag. She wiped her eyes one more time not saying anything but watch as he began setting down the food on the round coffee table there. "I'm not hungry". She plainly said folding her arms. "You have to eat something...I don't care if..". "I said I'm not hungry!!!". She snapped at him, wiping the mascara off her cheeks. "Just throw the food away or something". He saw her chest heaving with anger and frustration, her frown etched like a deep tint below her nose. He continued placing the plates and chopsticks on the table, arranging the meal. "Didn't you
Mr. Lewis opened the door after a while with a small smile on his old face. "Mr. Iowa. What a pleasant surprise. It's so good to see you". Mr. Iowa just walked in with his guards and stood, waiting for Mr. Lewis to shut the door and join them in the living room. "Please sit..sit...". As John sat down, he crossed his legs and casually said. "Will your daughter be bringing the refreshments". "M..mm..my what?". He almost spammed. "You daughter is here, isn't she". He smirked at Mr. Lewis's stunned face. "Where is she?". Mr. Lewis sprang up from his seat. "I'll get her immediately". With that, he ran to the kitchen to see Lily folding her arms with a frown. Once he closed the door behind him, he whispered. "He knows you're here". "W..what?!.. How's that possible". "I don't know but I think he wants you to get him some refreshments". "Refreshments?". Her heart pounded at having to see that scary man again. That man who has touched her back at the hospital. No way!!! "Dad I

Even her co-actors were patient with her and we're all nice and cozy with her. She was expecting a controversial treatment with the news going on but it seemed like no one really blamed her for what happened but blamed Arisa. Several people assumed the sudden engagement was a plot because Huong-Matt was probably threatened by John Iowa into marrying his daughter. After work, Bianca had a quick video chat with Diana and Jae who were still in her office. She decided to get creamed chips from her favorite restaurant wh
"Hi..". Bianca said with a sweet smile while dragging the sleeves of her blouse up her elbows. "So...I hear you wanted to see me". Arisa points at her face while grinding her jaw. "You piece of fucked up bitch!!! Just how dare you!!! You couldn't steal my husband so you think you can kill me". Bianca raised a brow. "Your father is so smart... intelligent and knows the right words to use when dealing with someone... it's hard to believe you're his daughter". She inclined her head. "Are you sure you weren't adopted or something". Arisa just stepped back and chuckled with one hand placed over her mouth. "Funny you think that". She said after laughing, spite in her eyes. "And just so you know... unfortunately though, I'm your neighbor so you're the one getting in my way of parking my car...if I had killed you, it wasn't necessarily my fault". "You mother fuvking...". "Slut? Homewrecker? Bitch? Let it all out Arisa. The fact that Matt treats you like shit wouldn't change if you ke
