2021-08-06 08:21:48The family of four went home silently. Jace put his focus on driving while Arianne seems to be thinking deeply. Tara and Jacob must've felt the exhaustion of the day, so Jace was not surprised to see both of the twins are sleeping soundly at the back.
This day should be all about making good memories for his kids, and it really started perfectly. Until the moment Jacob was almost kidnapped! Things went a little too far and serious already. He should make an immmediate plan to find out the root of all of these so he can stop it sooner.
Seeing how Arianne get easily upset, his guess goes into Arianne and her mother. He cannot let that woman lay a finger on her same as to their kids. He should stop her at all cost.
They simply can't live in peace and harmony until this issue of Arianne's mother is not finish.
A few more minutes then they reached their building. Jace gestures to the bodyguards from the other two cars following them, to carry his kid

"We then all live peacefully. My father goes back to work and so is my mom. She found a work in the hospital as a nurse. We are a picture of a perfect family, until our path crossed!" Arianne said looking lovingly into Jace. "By that time, my mom seem to be the typical mother. She would be a friend if I needed one and an enemy whenever she disagree with my choices.

Arianne suddenly struck with a gut feeling. "Omg Jace! Where is the bedsheet that we used before? I just hope you wash it yourself!" she said in a serious tone. Jace laughed heartily. "First, I keep it somewhere where no one can see it! Lastly, I plan to used it against you." he said smirking. "And mind to tell me how will you do it?" "I don't have definite plans yet but let's see!" Arianne tried to push Jace in irritation but he didn't even budge. "Do I have to remind you what you did to me when Mr. Farris introduced me to you? You acted as if you never even know that I exist!?!!" "Well, I was really disappointed and upset when I woke up and found out you're gone that very morning! Again, my stupid self thought of so much nonsense! When all I plan to do when I woke up is to talk to you about what you told me earlier." "Don't lie to me, I heard you talking to someone on the phone about your ex and the suppos

After their hot and steamy shower, Jace and Arianne decided to prepare breakfast for the kids. Jace prepare their coffee and milk for the kids while Arianne make pancake and fry some bacon. When she was almost done, Jace phone rang. His smile turned into a scowl upon checking the caller id. He sauntered to the veranda to answer the call. "What do you want?" he said without even greeting whoever it is on the other line. Arianne was shocked with how he behave towards the caller. She can even hear him over the kitchen because of his high voice. "I don't have time for your stories so either you cut this call or I will do it!" "D'you really think I give a damn? So what? You do and try whatever may please you but one thing is for sure, I DONT CARE!" It's now Arianne's turn to furrow her brows. Who is the caller that seem to irritate him that much?

"Jace, mom called up! She has dad!!!" Arianne said with eyes blurry with tears. "Shit! What, how did it happened?" Jace said while gently patting her back. Arianne shrugged. "I don't know! I just talked to him right?" Before Jace could say another word, his phone rang. Seeing it was Taylor he answered hurriedly. "Taylor!?!!" But he got startled upon hearing the commotion on Taylor's background. His children came to his mind in an instant. "What's happening there Taylor?" "Jace, I am here in the kindergarten right now.

Arianne’s POV I got startled on the constant pounding on the door. Good thing it made me comeback to the present. For several days, I don’t actually have any idea exactly what day is today, all I know is that Jace, Natalia and their marriage are all over the news. That’s why I decided to lock myself in my room. I know it’s kind of selfish but really I don’t know how to face the world anymore most especially my two innocent children. Thank god for Dad and Riza, helped me telling the kids that I caught some virus that’s why I have to stay away from everyone. But I'm also hoping that the news about their father and his wife haven’t reached them yet. Until now, I still haven’t figure out how to explain it to my children. Or if I’m ready for any reaction that would come out from them. I’m very scared honestly! Scared on how will they take it that we can never have their father as often as we needed him because it would also be unfair to his wife.

The article said that the Keller Industries CEO, Jace Keller, was seen partying in a popular nightclub in Vegas.
