"Your mom sent me,Ian," he stated, picking up a card.

"To play games with my wife!"he yelled and suddenly the room was silent, the atmosphere was so awkward that Ivy could hear the sound of an imaginary hawk.

Ian bit his lower lip in utter regret. What the heck did he just say? He wanted to chase Niel away because for some reason he disgusted the fact that Niel was with her, he could have just walked away but the more she smiled at him made him uncomfortable.

Ivy was deeply amazed, few hours ago he yelled at her now he was calling her his wife, it was really amusing. Niel suddenly realized that Ian was correct and he felt a little bit guilty for bonding with Ivy nevertheless the fact Ian was a little bit defensive when it came to her was a good sign.

"No, Mrs Kim asked me to stay with her," he explained,standing ,"If you aren't comfortable, I'll leave...see you tomorrow," he said ,standing up and picking his suit but all jaws dropped when Ivy held him back. Ian felt a slight pain in his chest but he still maintained his 'I don't care' look.

She stood up and handed a note to him which stated that Niel was her guest and she wanted to see him out.

She looked at Niel and dragged him out of the house whilst Ian furiously flipped the table and broke a vase.

Meanwhile, Ivy saw Niel off to the parking lot and he asked her to go back immediately.

"What you did would really piss him off, are you sure you'll be okay?" He asked and she nodded.

He tapped her head and got into the vehicle while she continuously waved at him as he drove away from the house. She took a deep breath and turned back to meet the beast whom she got married to.

Even though she was new in the building, she remembered a few flowers and used them to navigate her way back to the main building, the domestic staff would be in their quarters now so it was going to be just her and Ian.

She opened the door to see the most dreadful scene of her few years of existence, Ian had broken a few vases and due to the repeated punching of the wall his hands were bleeding. He was sitting on the floor with his head on the couch and she ran to help him, she knelt down to take a look at the injury and he pushed her away. He stood up and pointed at her in fury.

" Don't act like you care,you little sl××! Niel just came here and you've already had s×× with him, you look innocent but you're even more dangerous on the inside. Don't think I'm acting like this because I have fe-" he couldn't finish because she stood up and slapped him hard in tears and he froze immediately.

Aside his mom,no lady had ever had the guts to touch his face. Tears streamed down her cheeks and she wished she could yell at him but she couldn't, not only did he have a stupid attitude he could only spill out hurtful and vulgar words. He called her a sl×× because she just spoke with his best friend what if she made sure he slept over? He would assume she had a kid with him in secret.

He wanted to apologise but his pride held 'I'm sorry' down, she still looked pretty even when she cried, he wanted to embrace her tightly and beg her until she forgave him but he couldn't break his promise to Tania.

Ivy ran into her room and locked the door, she jumped on her bed and kept sobbing in pain. Ian ran his hands through his hair in search of a possible solution but his phone rang and Tania called.

"Hi babe," she said.

"Hi,"

"I can't come over because of her,is she really a mute?" She asked and Ian sighed,he stared at Ivy's room before taking a step forward.

"Yes,"

"Oh my! I can't believe that I was worried because of a mute, I'm coming over tomorrow to your office...can I?"

" Sure, whenever you want,"he replied.

"Umm...Ba-"

"I'm really tired right now, I guess I'll see you tomorrow then,"he said, switching his phone off.

" I wonder how they are," Bea repeated at the dining table and Jake and Anika exchanged glances.

Bea was a little bit anxious to text Ivy about updates regarding Ian and Anika advised that it would better to leave both of them to bond first before interfering in their marriage.

Jacob - also referred to as Jake and Anika decided to spend a few days with her before Jake returns back to his city.

"An arranged marriage was kinda like a good idea,Bea...I was thinking of doing something like that forJake," Anika stated.

" Hell no,I can't imagine a life with a voiceless wife," he said, sipping a glass of water and Bea slammed her hands on the table in rage.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"I'm sorry what I meant was -"

"Wow!! Jake you're 26 and you've never ever had a girlfriend not even a hot girl who can't talk and as your aunt I can proudly give you the reason.. you aren't attractive enough on the inside and on the outside. Ian's a jerk with anger issues but my son has the most prettiest girl to call a wife and millions of females dying to end up with him!! If you think this is a crazy idea, just watch and see Jacob Kim... watch and see!! " She yelled and made way to her bedroom.

Anika couldn't say a word, she was getting disrespected by Bea but she couldn't take sides with Jake for making fun of Ian. He was so lucky it was Bea and not her son, if Ian was present his corpse would be wheeled to the morgue that moment.
