Both men turned to look at the chief, standing behind the bars of the cell.

"What do you mean? I gave you two phone numbers -"

"A worker at home stated that your wife and friend went to the mall close by, " the cheid explained cutting Niel off.

Ian stood up and quickly recalled that his mom was gone. After 22 years of princely treatment he was going to sleep in a cold cell on a bed he hasn't adapted to yet. Niel ran to the door and held the bars to talk to the chief.

" It's almost dusk, you'll be out tomorrow, "he assured.

" I was planning to tell my children that I've never committed a crime worthy of going to jail, my record is ruined! My life is ruined!.. wait officer, I think I have another number if you could jus-"

" Sorry, but you can only call two relatives for now, " the chief spilled out his words of departure and made way to his office.

" No, no don't do this to me. Officer! Officer! Chief! Police man! Guy in the uniform! -"

"Shut the f××k up! " A cellmate ordered.

Niel gulped and respectively transported himself to the floor with Ian. The reckless and scary aura the huge lady carried was life threatening, she had several piercings and tattoos and Niel wondered how she managed to get one on her face.

"So, what do we do now?"

"I don't know,okay?! I'm thinking of how to sleep in this trash bin tonight,"

" Well, you're the only trash I see.. for now. We could've left that guy then we probably wouldn't have ended up here, "

"I sense revenge, "

"What do you mean? Revenge? "

"Can I tell you something? Don't tell mom, "

"Yeah, sure.. go on, "

"That day before Ivy's accident -"

"What? "

" Before Tania left the country, she came to my office. She told me that she wanted to go home with me and I explained that Ivy was home and she said she wasn't because she called to confirm. I didn't know what came over me, I just drove home to look for her then Tania said she was home and I shouldn't bother because she was at the garden and...she said something about wanting me and I gave into her seductions, "

"Yeah, so what happened? "

"Ivy was under the bed, "

"You know what? F××k you Ian! "Niel cussed, standing up and Ian covered his head with his hands. "I wish you were the one in that accident,the car would just sweep you away to hell and we could all be assured that our lives are going to be safe,you had s×× with your therapist with your wife under the bed!"he yelled and the cellmates from the neighboring cell moved closer to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"I did and I feel sorry okay?"

"You didn't apologize to her, you didn't even answer your phone when I tried to call you to come to the hospital, you never even showed up! What the hell was Bea thinking of? Giving you Ivy was like giving you an expensive diamond and as an amateur you're throwing it in the mud. You don't deserve her, not even a little bit, "

"I know I don't okay? She's a lot more complicated....she isn't like other girls I've met and you don't expect me to love her in a few days because I don't even know her yet and this was an arranged marriage. It didn't start with us dating and then an engagement, we didn't get married out of love; I did this to please mom and she did this for her own reasons. Y'all are acting like I was the one who brought Ivy home to tell my mom that this girl I want to get married to, "

"I absolutely nothing to say to you, a×××××e!" Niel cussed and the 'audience' gasped, he went to bed and laid on it whilst facing the other side.

" Jerk! " a cellmate yelled at Ian. This was like a movie and they enjoyed every single moment of it .

Ian looked at Niel and then at the cellmates, everything Niel said was right and no matter how hard he tried to forget about it, it kept haunting him. He could have just apologized to her the way he did with his mom but he felt she was different and needed to be apologized to specially, he eventually laughed at his stupid excuse before attempting to share the bed with Niel but he kicked him out.

Ivy opened up the door when she heard the sound of the doorbell, she was shocked to see a white haired black suited man in front of her, he looked at her with a smile and she turned to motion Jacob to come.

"Hi Carlos,"Jacob greeted.

"Good day,sir Jacob," he greeted back and Jacob opened the door widely to let him in. All three bodies settled on the couch and the man started speaking.

"When I heard young master was getting married I was really excited, I've served him since he was a kid and seeing him taking one of the boldest step I felt fulfilled. I left the house a few months ago because I lost my brother.. sadly but now I'm back and ready to resume my work. It's a pleasure to meet you madame," he stated, smiling and Ivy returned his gesture.

" Well you see Ivy -"

"Has total mutism, I'm aware of that but I've been keeping in touch lately and the maids really like her a lot and I felt proud that Ms Kim made this decision,"he added and Jacob couldn't hold his lips from smiling.

"Glad you do,"

"Where's sir Ian?"

"Oh, in a room with doors.. caging up his madness,"

" What do you mean, sir Jacob? "

"Ian got into a fight again, "

"Yes, I saw the news but why isn't he back yet?"

" She just figured a way of teaching him, a good lesson, "

Carlos looked at both of them with a puzzled expression on his face. When they told him, he begged Ivy to let him go but she refused. Even though Ian was a lunatic he had treated him like his own son while serving him which made him the second person Ian didn't deal with carelessly. Ivy's mind was made up and Carlos just had to wait til'the next day.
