“Hostages? Was I abducted?” Bianca questioned as she stopped applying medicines to the man's injuries.The man nods his head in approval “Yes.” Bianca nods in disbelief.“Did he do this to you?” Bianca asked, looking at the bruises and black spots on the man's pale white face. She lets go of the first aid box with fright as flashes of David fiddle in her head. A tear trickled on her chin, she quickly wiped it off. Bianca is trying her best to let go of those hurtful memories she once had, she wishes to be healed so she can be strong to conquer that devil in human skin called David.The man stood up, walked to the door“My daughter! What if that monster tries to hurt my daughter?” the man panicked.Bianca was reminded of her aborted babies, a cloud of guilt floated above her as she sat in a corner. A storm of sorrows swept her thoughts away to her past.The man tried opening the door but it was locked outside. Continuous twitching of the door knob snapped Bianca back to life.“It's of

Bianca quickly slopes her head on her shoulder, pretending to be feeble like a vegetable.“Strange” Henry uttered as he stares at her, he frowns doubting his visions. He raised her head upright with both hands as he smiled at her.“Do you remember the day you beat me up? Gosh! I was defeated by a beautiful feeble damsel.” Henry chuckles as he slams his palm on his forehead.“You were so fortunate Oscar didn't find you or else you would be in hell by now,” Henry mutters as he played with her hair. His eyes met her brown eyes fixed at a spot, she looked emotionless, seeing this made Henry slump his shoulder as he sighs“When will you recover? I can't wait to prove to David and Alice that you are alive.” He let out. Bianca let a smile on her face when she noticed Henry's gaze elsewhere.“You will be my long-time bait, Bianca. Ah ah… I can sense more money coming my way.” Henry thought as he rubs his palm against each other with evil laughter in his head. He tucks out his tongue, swaying

“Help! Daddy!!” A cracked voice scream was so audible as she opened the door. Bianca let go of the doorknob, letting her wide-opened mouth make a wild scream.“What?” Bianca shoves her trembling hands in her widened mouth. With her sight fixed on the floor where the old man lay, her heartbeat was paused she didn't even notice his crying daughter.“Oh my God!” Bianca takes a deep breath in.Blinking twice as she doubts her gazes. Her feet pushed her towards the lifeless man on the ground.“Stay away from my daddy.” The little girl cries, wrapping her arms around her dead father.“I'm not here to hurt you, I'm also a hostage here trying to help your father,” Bianca mumbles hiding the tears about drop out of her shocked brown eyes.Bianca bends her knee, lowering herself to the ground, she screams as she confirms he was shot in the forehead. Bianca cautioned herself, shoving both hands in her mouth, she made a deep sigh nodding her head negatively in pity.Bianca's trembling palm touches

“Henry, don't think about me. Save yourself, please.” Bianca pleads, with her curled lips. She became terrified as Oscar's grasp on her chest region became tighter.“I'm not with the property documents, right now!” Henry whimpered, raising both arms in the air.Oscar made a short loud laugh“You do joke with death, don't you?” Oscar kicks some documents toward Henry.“Here, sign.”“Henry, think twice before you make a decision.” Bianca's voice trembles. She was so close to ending that she couldn't breathe properly.“Will you shut up?” Oscar yells banging his fist on her head. Bianca winced letting go of some tears.“Don't hurt her, I would do as you say,” Henry muttered as he grabbed the documents and input his signature into them. “Keeping my bait, Bianca alive for long worth more fortunes than all I ever had. Her existence is worth trillions.” Henry chuckles within as he faked a frown.The document contains the transfer of ownership of all the companies and money Mr. Chu offered Hen

“You can't run forever, runner boy!” Oscar chuckles as he grabbed a stool, smiling sheepishly at Henry and Bianca's back figure running away. He grabbed the property transfer documents, joyfully waving them in the air.“Did he just call me runner boy? I will teach him a good lesson” Henry flared up with his veins throbbing out of his neck. He turns around, taking some steps toward Oscar.Bianca pulled his back“Let's just get the heck out of here”Bianca grabbed the bag of guns Henry left behind.“We might need this.” They both arrived at the main door.Footsteps echoed before the main door.“Are you ready?” Henry inquired. Bianca nods positively with a smile.“Always ready.”Henry opened the door at once with his feet. Bullets triggered from the guns held by multiple men toward Henry and Bianca.Henry and Bianca both slide their legs on the smooth red rug mat like a chute in playgrounds, with an arm on the ground supporting the angle they slid to. They both pulled out a gun from the

A ringtone emerges from Oscar's pocket. Oscar adjusts his collar acting cool when his eyes met the caller's name. Oscar answers the call.“Why didn't you kill her when you had the chance?” David questions over the phone.“I will do my job. Just relax” Oscar made a harsh reply.“Relax? I wasted a million dollars on just an assignment I can execute myself. Get her and eliminate her instantly or else…” David hung up the phone call. He tossed the cell phone on the bed where he was seated. He positioned his elbow on his legs, clutching both fists together.“This assignment is just too easy, why are they dragging all this? I will handle everything myself if they fail to accomplish the little task I offered” David said to himself as he grabbed his walking cane helping him to stand on his feet. David fakes a smile as he walks to the living room banging his walking cane at every step he takes.David grins at Sophia who was pacing back and forth in the living room. Sophia bites her finger as s

“Henry!” A scream awakens Henry.Henry staggers and rolls out of bed.“Who's that? What happened?” He asked as he furrows his curvy brows, he strode out of his room with a gun in his arm.“Oh, thank goodness you are here. Now come and have dinner before it gets cold. I made pasta specially for you.” Bianca chimed, leading Henry to the dining hall. Henry followed her with his mouth wide open.“You screamed my name just for me to have your trash? You woke me up from my deep slumber. Well, I'm not hungry. I am not ready to be fed poi..” Henry rasped, his stomach grumbles interrupted him. Henry sighs as his eyes met Bianca's lit eyes, her smile is so dreamy. Henry blinks, moving his gaze away from desirable Bianca.He took a seat, grabbing a fork.Bianca sat closer to him. She took another closer look at his unbuttoned shirt that was exposing his biceps and muscular chest.“I… I love you!” Bianca blurted out, drooling over his muscular body.“Hmm? what's with this weird lady?” A smile crep

“Henry! No Henry don't leave me!” Cold sweat begins to break from her forehead as she struggled to suppress a scream from her slumber. She arose when she felt a touch on her shoulder with her eyes wide open and her heart beating faster, she sat upright staring at a wide open space.“What's wrong, Bianca?“ Sophia asked as she placed her hands on her forehead.“What a nightmare!“ Bianca plainly uttered, and she rolls her eyes laying her head on her soft pillow. Bianca had a nightmare about Henry letting go of her hand.“Uh? Mum?” Bianca hastily sat upright as she remembers that lovely voice, she glance over her environment. When she sighted her mother, she hops in her hands, giving her a warm embrace.“Mum” Bianca cries out.“No, tiger! I don't want to see those tears anymore. They are too precious to be wasted on me.” Sophia disengaged from the hug as an ache started deep in her stomach. She turned away as tears welled in her eyes.“Mother!

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.

“Shh…I know you love me more.” Erickson said like he read her mind. Celine shrugged with a frown. “Will you stop making this weird?” Erickson grabs her arm tightly.

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.

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.

"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.

With a cloud of sadness hovering over her, she fell to her seat with a slumped shoulder. Her confidence died down so did that rejoicing soul of hers. She looked up to Henry with a dreadful stare “You are at fault,” Henry was unable to compose himself anymore, the tears of joy wiped off, and he had no gut to look into his daughter's eyes. His eyes fell to the floor his soul drowning in disappointment.“If you haven't left mum for that woman. This wouldn't have happened!” Celine stood up, “Go take care of the bruises on your face” she stormed out of the hospital and fell to her knees with tears streaming from her eyes.Despite being blamed by them, he didn't hesitate to check on Bianca before running after them.

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.
