Tiffany and Nathan are being treated while I look fine as heck. I only had some injuries and bruises while them.. I don't know.

"Stop. Just get out, now!" Utos ko sa Nurse na nagti treat ng injury ko at agad itong lumabas na. "Where's my car? Did you bring my car?"

"Yes, Zeus. But it's still dangerous. We are chasing Grant Ward because we believe that this is his doing."

"Yun na nga, Apollo, eh. We're talking about Grant Ward so I must not keep idling!" His expression was surprised and looked at me from head to toe.

"How did you know about Grant Ward?"

"Long story. I'll talk to you later." I removed my dextrose and stormed out of the room.

I went to my car and drove my way to Grant Ward. I'm aware that Exodus is  looking for him. But how can they find him when they're searching for him somewhere far? Grant Ward is just here in South Korea. They missed that part.

His men stopped me from entering but he asked me to come. I punched him right away.

"I told you to stay away from them. I think I warned you trice." He smirked. "You still don't take my words seriously huh?"

I looked at the woman beside him and I just hissed. Sabi ko na nga ba. This woman can't do any better.

"And how dare you neglect my woman! I sent her for you to be happy and to meet your needs as a man but you dare neglected her?!?"

"I only want one person, Ward. And it's not her."

"You dare defy me? The one who owns your life?"

I will not listen to him again. He just declared war and we must do this fairly. We must fight, not threaten each other by words. He wants to fight? Then I will fight back.

"You don't own me, Grant Ward." Tumayo ako at pinunasan ang tumutulong dugo sa gilid ng labi ko. "You want war? Then i'll fight you heads on." I glared at Lesley one last time before getting out.

I came back to the Hospital and saw mom and dad crying themselves out. I confessed everything. How I was threatened by Grant Ward and everything.

While at the hospital, I tried visiting Tiffany. But her room was too guarded and they won't let me in. The third day I tried to visit her, but it was her mom who appeared.

*pack!*

"Tita..." Jessica looked at me with a worried face after Tita did that.

"Sinasabi ko na nga ba. Papa was never wrong with his choices but he was wrong when he chose you! You're the one who cause this accident to Tiffany and Nathan. I don't want to see you again!"

"Babalik nalang po ako when you're cool." I sighed at tumalikod nalang.

Now, even her mom resents me.

...

I returned to work two days later. I heard Tiffany did, too. But I just can't face her right now dahil bukod sa wala akong mukhang maihaharap sa kaniya, tambak ako sa paper works.

The thick faced Lesley is still here at the office and I just won't care about her.

"I heard from Taec, about what happened." I sighed.

"Are you going to slap me, too?" Umiling siya.

"That was a brave decision to make, oppa. I'm proud of you." Napangiti nalang ako sa sinabi ni Hani. "I came here to say goodbye." Kumunot ang noo ko.

"You're leaving?"

"I got re-assigned to Exodus LA so I have to leave all works here."

I see... maybe their parents want them away from Grant Ward or so.

Tinapos ko ang lahat ng paper works na kailangan kaya inabot ako ng gabi na. Palabas na ako ng office nang makatanggap ng isang text message mula kay Apollo.

Taecyeon Ok
Tiffany and her sisters are leaving for the States tonight. Their flight's exactly 11pm. Go and chase her, Zeus.

I looked at my wrist watch and it's already pass 10! I have to be in the airport now or I'm not gonna see her again!

I drove to the airport and arrived there 30 minutes later. I looked at the board to search for the flights and then I realized, I'm too late.

"Ugh!!!" Paulit ulit kong hinampas ang manibela ng sasakyan ko at nang maubusan ng lakas ay napasandal nalang ako doon.

Damn. They're gone, now.

"Zeus, you have a visitor." Tinanguan ko nalang ang sinabing iyon ni Apollo.

"What can I do for you... Tito?" It's Tiffany's Dad.

"I'm sorry for what my wife did to you, Nichkhun. I've heard what happened. I heard that you did that to protect them. If only I knew, I could have helped." Umiling ako.

"I wanted to deal with it on my own, po. I know his abilities. He's capable of doing the worst. He even sent an eye to look after me." Tito laughed.

"What did Cronus say? I heard that he was his disciple once."

"Dad is very disappointed, Tito. He hurt the first heir when he was just a baby. Now, he harmed the family again. He want to find him as soon as possible and end him himself."

"I agree. I guess that young man is uncontrollable. If he doesn't stop, now, many will be harmed." Tito looked at his wrist watch and stood up. "I have to go now, son. I have a flight to catch." Tumayo din ako at nakipag kamay kay Tito.

"I'm sorry for what happened to Tiffany and Nathan, Tito. This is clearly my fault."

"I am glad to have a son in law like you. Really, Nich. And if you want to see them, you are free to do so.." binigyan ako ng makahulugang tingin ni Tito bago siya lumabas sa office ko.

Wala pa din akong mukhang maihaharap kay Tiffany. I'm more than afraid that maybe she hates me now. Could it be possible?

...

Hindi ko namalayan na nakatulog pala ako sa office ko. I woke up when the ray of the sun shine touched my face. I brushed my hair and went to the bathroom to wash my face.

"Goodmorning, sir." My Secretary greeted. "Oh... you didn't come home last night?" Umiling ako.

"I slept while doing some works.." 

"I just want to let you know, sir, that you have a meeting today with sir Ok and the new Travel Department Director. It's at 8am, Sir."

Nagpunta ako sa mini closet ko para makita kung may natitira pa akong damit doon at may isa pa nga. I changed into a new polo.

Nang time na ay pumunta ako sa meeting room para kilalanin ang replacement ni Hani.

The new director is a female friend and recommended by Hani. She came from the States and that's all I know because I hadn't payed much attention to her introduction.

"Oh, we got a new Director.."

"Seolhyun-shi, please say hi. That's Lee Jung Shin, the Director of the Marketing Department." Ang lokong Jung Shin, akala mo naman ay na love at first sight.

"I'm warning you now, Ms. Kim. That man is a womanizer. Just to let you know." I smirked.

"Aish, Hyung!" Tumawa din si Taec. "Anyway, Directress, would you excuse us? There's an important matter I have to discuss with these men." With that, lumabas si Seolhyun.

"Man, she's new here and just came back you're hitting on her agad? Baka bukas mag resign na yan ah?"

"Gags bro. Nagbibiro lang naman ako eh. Tsk. Anyway, the advertising and marketing team is seeking audience. Can you make time for them?"

"No, Nichkhun is busy. I'll go." Saka ako tinitigan ni Taec.

"Fine, he'll go." Paglabas ni Jung shin, kinausap ako agad ni Taecyeon.

"You can't face your employees with that bothered situation. Kanina nga lang na in-introduce ko si Seolhyun ay sobrang bothered ka." He sighed. "Bro, if you're confident enough about fighting Grant Ward, then chase your family and be with them. They need you now."
