He tried to turn on the car but Isaiah was quick enough to punch him hard on his cheek. Losing control of the wheels while trying to nurture the pain he felt, Isaiah opened the door and dragged him out.Isaiah gritted his teeth and said to him. "You have been hiding from me for three years. Let's see how you will manage to escape this time.""Calm....calm down brother. Let's talk this out." Steve tried to plead for mercy, seeing the anger in Isaiah's eyes, but it all fell on deaf eyes."I don't mind killing you right now and ending everything. You deserve to die!" he said and punched him hard on his jaw again, causing him to bleed from his nose."Brother let's talk this out.""You killed my mother! What's there to talk about? You ended everything then!" he yelled and gave him a punch again on the jaw, the next on his nose and he went on until Steve was bloodied.He wanted to give him a punch for the last time but stopped with his hand held up. His arms were acting up and he couldn't m

Isaiah's gaze fell on Zoey's face and seeing her reaction gave him the satisfaction he wanted so he went on. "The lady I came in with is my fiancee, as we are set to get married soon." He dropped the bomb and that made Zoey's heart drop down to her stomach because she wasn't expecting the news.She wasn't expecting the sudden marriage announcement. He shouldn't be announcing their marriage, that would only make things worse.She wanted to scream at him from where she stood, but that would be embarrassing to her and of course, people were there and that wouldn't be the right thing to do at all."She has brought meaning to my life since we started dating and now, we are about to profess our love forever to each other." he continued.The spotlight came on her and the cameras were made to face her. Zoey felt her leg wiggle, as she tried to avoid the gaze of the people around but there was nothing she could do. No matter where she turned, people were staring.Isaiah went on with his speech

Asher walked to him and hugged him tightly. It's been years since he last saw his brother and he just couldn't control his emotion even with a patient staring at them.Zoey was still in a daze trying to know where she knew Asher from and how it so happened that his brother saved her and brought her to the same hospital he works at. What a coincidence!After having all his emotions pulled out, Asher pulled away and smiled at his brother who had a straight face and didn't seem happy to see him."Where have you been all these years? I have missed you so much you know.""Aren't you supposed to look at your patient first?"That was when Asher realized he had a patient unattended to and she was Zoey Hall. He quickly went to her and lowered his head."I apologize for what just happened.""No you shouldn't. He is your brother.""But why are you here alone? What about Isaiah?""Mr Alcatraz? You do know him?"Asher narrowed his brows as he stared at her. From the looks of it, something must hav

Carissa had many questions running through her head at that moment but seeing the state of Zoey, she preferred to keep shut and not cause more heartbreak.She hugged her tightly and rubbed her back gently, trying to give her the comfort she needed.The two stayed that way for a while before they went back to the house. Carissa quickly gave her some water to calm her down a bit and when she noticed Zoey was a bit calm, she started with her questions."So..... What's going on?""I am not pushing through with the deal anymore. I can't handle it." Zoey said."Why? What happened? And why are you wearing this?""During the party, Isaiah suddenly started accusing me of something big," she sniffed and went on. "At first, I wasn't going to put my mind to it but he went on calling me a gold-digger, a whore," she felt a lump in her throat as she said that. The feeling in her heart was bitter as she thought of what happened at the dinner party.She went on, "He said I am only on this deal because

Zoey grumpily sat down and crossed her arms underneath her chest, avoiding his eyes. "What do you want? I know you have a mission because you have a big, comfortable house to live in rather than this small house." Zoey spoke outHe smirked. "A mission? You think I am here for a mission?"She nodded. "Why else would you be here?"He let out a small laugh and sank to the couch. "Anyway, this is my house and I got it for this reason," he paused for some seconds and went on, "I can decide to come here anytime I want to. I don't have to have a mission or reason."Zoey adjusted on the seat and pressed forward a bit. "I know this house belongs to you now, but you should have informed us about this and besides, we are still living here. I mean, this house doesn't suit you for goodness sake.""I don't need to inform you about coming here. Don't worry about whether the house suits me or not, I will change the decorations and make it my taste.""What? You can't just change the decorations. They a
