Chasing his heart 24. A tip of an iceberg
“A condition?” Bianca creased her brows.Roberto tracks his fingers on her lap, sliding those naughty fingers toward her hips.“Let's meet tonight” He leaned closer as he gave her a lustrous wink.“What the heck?” Bianca subconsciously crashes her palm against his face.“What?” Roberto's jaw dropped with his hands on his reddened cheek. He froze, staring at Bianca with wide eyes and raised eyebrows. He was specifically speechless, he shut his open mouth. His tight-lipped smile made Bianca hold back unwillingly in her speech.Keeping her distance from him, Bianca hastily alight from his vehicle with a flushed face.She rolled her eyes “What a freak!”Roberto alights from his white vehicle, he walks into his hospital with the pretense that nothing happened earlier.“What did he think? I would accept that rubbish. I don't need his assistance.”Bianca muttered to herself.“I'm Williams Bianca and no one can hurt that self-worth.” she chins up, standing tall as she walks into the hospita

“No! Not at all.” Bianca admitted, feigning a smile.Alice grunts “Whatever! I don't solicitude scum” She departs from the hospital's archway, striding closer to her vehicle.Wrinkles appear on Bianca's forehead as she pursues Alice.“What about my pay?” Bianca questioned with raised brows, she seized Alice's right arm. Alice faces her with squinted eyelids.“How dare you lay your filthy hand on my elegant skin?” Alice clamors, she squinches her brows at Bianca.Bianca unlocks her grip on Alice's arm as she rolls her eyes. Alice hops in her vehicle, she ignited the car engine, ignoring Bianca for a minute. Alice moved her gaze to Bianca's disgruntled face.“Have this and get the hell out of my life” Alice squawks, she threw some dollar notes at Bianca's disillusioned face. Bianca gathered the notes, getting hold of a shattered heart “Everything would be fine in no time, all I need is to help my mom and that jerk that made my life miserable.” Bianca sniffles. She couldn't help herse

“I must say, your beauty is beyond compare,” Roberto whispers, sending chills down her spine. Bianca shivers, gazing around to avoid eye contact with him. He helps her to her feet, he couldn't take his eyes off her cleavages exposed through her drained black gown. He waggles his fingers on her face, sliding them downwards.Bianca pushes his arm off her face.“You disgust me, Roberto.” Bianca spat on his face as he violently pinned her hands to the wall. “You filthy thing!” Roberto calls as he subconsciously slaps her face.“Ah!” Bianca winced as she fell on the floor, she got released from his grasp at once. Roberto strides to the tap, he splashes water on his face.Bianca pants as she crawls to the bathroom entrance, sneaking out.“Do you think you can escape my den?” Roberto asks as he grabs her by the hair pulling her backward. Bianca screams, she could see David's reflection in him.“No, I'm sorry….please” Bianca pleads as he hurled her against the wall. Her whole body trembles

“Shh… ” Henry shuns her, and they maintained eye contact.”Trust me, everything would be alright. I would protect you at all costs” Henry stated, smiling with eyes and mouth. They cling hands, having meaningful eye contact.“Let's visit my mum in Roberto's hospital.” Bianca blinks, backing away as Henry tries to move closer, she moves her gaze elsewhere.Henry coughs, trying his best to fix her attention on him but it seems she's only interested in her mum at the moment.“Hmmm…Alright,” Henry responded, he lets go of her hand. He grips Roberto's suit on the floor he pulls a car key from the pocket. “I would drive” Bianca snatched the car key from Henry.“Okay…” Henry murmured.Bianca walks out of the mansion with the car keys in her hands. Henry pursued her, he creases his brows wondering what came over her.“You bitch!” A female voice yelled.Henry paused, shifting his gaze at the place the feminine voice resounded from. Alice came out of nowhere, she gaits barefooted with her heels

“Oscar is nothing compared to a weakling like you.” He gives, waggling his fingers in Henry's styled hair. Henry grunts, as he forces air out of his nostrils.All the men in black laughed loudly, humiliating Henry. Henry gave a tight-lipped smile as he glimpses Bianca seated close to him. The button of her lips just down with her gaze fixed on the floor. “Bianca, trust me. Everything would be alright” Henry assured her. Bianca blinks, shifting her gaze to Henry “I thought you took care of this. We are in a mess all because you are irresponsible”“Pardon?” Henry glared daggers at Bianca.“Shut up” The man in black seated close to them commanded, he slams Henry's head.“I deserve the same respect you offer to your boss, okay? Besides, we are one, aren't we a family anyone?” Henry questioned, facing a man in black.“Ah…ah… one family my foot. Mr. Chu is gone, there's nothing like that anymore, punk” The man in black uttered. He grabbed a black veil.“No..no. Don't do this to me, bro”

Some men in black walked in with their arms behind their heads as Bianca points a pistol threatening them.“You don't have to help me! I got the job done myself.” Bianca spoke. She ordered them all on them kneels.“Good! Just stay still.” Bianca uttered.Henry grunts.“What next?"“Phone the cops?” Bianca suggested, pointing the pistol at the men in black.“Geez! that would be a grave mistake, Henry. You can't eat your cake and have it. We are all going to jail if you expose us” Oscar quaked.“Gosh! I don't know the reason you would involve yourself in this crazy club?” Bianca blames Henry, squeezing her brows. Henry ignored her as he walks backward as Bianca led the way. “Club, indeed!”“How do we get home?”“Are you seriously asking me?”Oscar opens his mouth to catch his breath.“Shut that shit hole, rascal” Henry yells pulling Oscar's neck towards him as he walked out of the men in black hideouts.Bianca followed “Lay down flat, face the floor! The floor!” Bianca ordered, bouncing

“Lay down, mother.” Roberto smiles radiantly as he had some check up on Sophia. Roberto injects a liquid into her veins as she lies on the bed. A few minutes later… Sophia dozed off. Bianca was delighted seeing her mother so happy.“I can see some improvement in her health,” Roberto remarked.Bianca stares at the diamond ring inserted in her middle finger “Do you think you can fool me?” Roberto raised his brows, swinging his hair aside. “I want us to get married, Bianca.”“Why? I'm very sure you despise me” Bianca frowns, tightening her lips.“I was only striving for your attention, love. I'm sorry for all the pain I caused you” Roberto pleads as their eyes met.Bianca hastily broke eye contact, she walked out of the ward. She blows out her cheeks.“Did he mean everything he said? Or is he toying with my heart?” Bianca questions as she tilts her head, she has no idea of what to do or how to react.She smiles when she recollects glimpsing a fearless and free smile on Sophia.“She ha

Don't worry, I would order other accessories needed to make you look sexy for me.” Roberto cooed as he pulls his arm across Bianca's shoulder.Some ladies were shocked to discover Roberto with another lady. Their pictures were secretly taken and posted on the internet.Roberto was trying his best to make her feel on top of the world, trying his possible best for Bianca to see the world from another perspective.

Chasing his heart 86. Impossible
Henry ran to a doctor his eyes met “Hi, how is my son, Erickson? I heard he got into an accident and he needed a blood donor.” Henry questioned, he cared less about arresting Hannah.“Oh, you mean the patient in ward 103. His partner regained consciousness with bruises but he's still unconscious, he loved so much blood and urgently need a blood donor.” The doctor explained.“Then what are you waiting for? What about the blood bank?” Henry asked hastily. Bianca watched the cops take Hannah. She, later on, remembered her children, and she ran to Celine's ward.“Frankly, there is a higher percentage that the blood bank might not be able to deliver on time. It might be too late when they arrive.” Tue doctor explained.“I can't lose my son. No! I just can't!” he lamented holding his head, tears flowing from his eyes as he stares at the doctor.“Aren't you his father?” The doctor questioned. “I am!” Henry said almost screaming.

It was getting dark“I will drive us home, besides mum must be damn worried,” Celine announced.Henry let out a chuckle, laughing with eyes “I wouldn't want to end up in an accident, love.” Celine darted a feigned glare at him.“You can't force me, your highness.” A blush appeared on her face, she hopped in the car with a wide smile, the smile she had never had. Her life feels complete with her family whole and healthy but she didn't think of the evil lurking in a corner. Henry drove, they were only stealing glances at each other in silence.“Dad, do you treasure every moment we share just like I do?” Celine broke the silence.“Uh… that's not a question, love. I treasure every second I set my eyes on you. I regret the fact that I didn't see you grow up.” “Those three days we spent tomorrow felt like 20 years, Dad. You don't have to be sorry.” Celine chimed.The vehicle halts at his mansion. They alighted with a smile. Don crinkled his nose when he sighted Celine, he got disgusted

Helen stood in front of the open wardrobe, her hands trembling as she pulled out clothes and shoved them into a suitcase. Tears streamed down her face, and her chest heaved with sobs."How could you do this to me, Henry?" she screamed. "How could you have a child with another woman?"Henry stood behind her, his hands in his pockets, looking crestfallen."Helen, I'm sorry," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I never meant to hurt you. It was a mistake, a one-night stand, I swear.""A mistake?" Helen whirled around, her face contorted with anger. "A child is not a mistake, Henry! You have a daughter out there, and you didn't even have the decency to tell me!""Helen, please," Henry begged, taking a step towards her. "Let me explain.""Explain what?" Helen shouted. "That you've been lying to me for years? That you've been keeping secrets from me? That you've been cheating on me?""I didn't cheat on you," Henry protested. "It happened before we even met.""That doesn't make it be

“That's a bad idea, Celine” Emily advised. Celine didn't heed, she barged into the house with her house pounding. She would rather go in than stay out waiting for a miracle.Celine's heart skipped a beat as she slid the doorknob, she takes a quiet step in and the door shut behind her.

She stood frozen, she gasps when she sighted Henry, Helen, and Erickson in chains, and then her hawkish gaze moved back at David.It was the first time she's seeing David in person. She squint's her brows"Who are you?" Celine asked, trying to sound confident but failing."I want your supposed father, my dear, I'm David," David replied with a smirk. "I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. Now I have you to myself."Celine clenched her fists and stepped forward. "You're sick, David. Let them go and face me like a man."David chuckled. "You are in no position to give me orders, my dear. You are the one who is going to do as I say.

“Emily, please don't tell me you believe that trash! Why would I assassinate you lover?” she said with her lips quivering.“What's with the pretense now? There's no one here just us.” Emily creased her brows with eagerness to listen to whatever she wanted to say.“I didn't murder him, besides he's alive. We had no dispute whatsoever so why would I hurt that fellow? ”“Really? You hated him from day one.” Emily rasped, blaming innocent Celine. If only she knew Jones was only playing tricks on her to get rid of Celine.“Im not ready to argue.

Henry lay on the ground, bloodied and bruised, his men continued to beat him mercilessly. He was in turmoil, he groaned cursing the day he ever joined the men in black. “Let go of me! Stop!” Henry ordered. He thought his title as the second in command would make them listen but it was otherwise.“Beat him to death, boys. We need to send his head to Boss when he is dead.” Lucas chuckled.Henry became weak and he couldn't scream for help anymore, he was about to lose consciousness when a gunshot rang out.
