From Prison Bars To Gold Bars. 17. A Sour Encounter
"If that is a joke, it's a very expensive one." Olivia said, arching her brows at Van. "If you're going to tell a lie, then at least try to find one that's easy to believe. Do you even have any idea who Eric Mochi is?""She's right Van." Tony said. "Allow me to explain, we all know about some people that are billionaires, wealthy people who are respected by the society, but the Mochis are different. Eric Mochi is a fifth generation billionaire, it's like their family has been rich since the dawn of time. From what I heard, they started with a small factory and that business has been growing since the 1900s up till today. It had been passed down the generation for years and now Eric Mochi is the one in charge. Apparently he's one of the very few business owners to have friendly relationship with the president, and other ministers.Getting an appointment at his company is almost impossible, much less getting him to see you personally.""Oh?" Van could tell quite easily that Eric was a
From Prison Bars To Gold Bars. 18. The Threat
There was a dark look in Van's eyes as he uttered those words and Blanche was almost drowned in a sea of fear. "W-What on earth are you talking about? Who are you to talk about punishing others for their sins?!" She tried to sound as dominant as she did before but her voice was wavering. Regardless of his faded old outfit, Van was different than the person she knew five years ago. Back then, they spoke however they pleased to him and he didn't dare to so much as look them in the eyes, much less talk back at them. That was one of the reasons she didn't mind her daughter getting narried to him, she wanted to have a son in law she could control. He was much different now. But she believed he was still under her in terms of wealth so it gave her the courage to keep going. "You pulled the short straw by being poor and you don't have anyone to blame for that. Tell me, how exactly are you going to punish us? With more of your empty threats?"Just then, Bianca showed up with Moses by her
From Prison Bars To Gold Bars. 19. New Van
"Go on, beg for it. Isn't that what you came here for? It must be that the money is important to you right? Maybe that mother of yours is ill? Or you have an outstanding debt? I'll take care of everything. All you gotta do, is drop to your pathetic knees and ask." Moses felt like he was taunting Van with his statement but the latter couldn't even be bothered. He watched calmly as Moses kept poking at him with money issues, asking if he needed rent or if his family was just starving. Next to him, Bianca was totally enjoying it. The look on her face showed that she wanted nothing more than to see him humiliated and it left Van to wonder if she truly loved him during their years of courtship. He understood the fact that couples dated and broke up all the time, it wasn't anything special. But if their life for each other was genuine, they would never be able to stand by and watch the other be in a difficult position. "What is going on here? I don't like having a large group in the hall
From Prison Bars To Gold Bars. 20. Family Relations
Van was a frail, gentle man with a kind heart, and that was one of the reasons she chose to date him in the first place. She felt that when they married, she would be able to control him however she pleased, and for the time they spent together, she could. Van never raised his voice at her, nor did he ever question her decisions or request, whatever she said was always final. But there he was now, sending chills down her spine with just a single look. "All this is because of the money right? That's all you want. If I give it to you, you're going to leave." Bianca didn't know why but she was getting more scared by his presence. "Though I can't believe you'd actually have the guts to demand any money from me. Shouldn't you have forgotten about it? I mean how else am I supposed to get compensation for my wasted time?""Wasted time? I practically lived for you during our years of courtship, but you lied to me, cheated on me, and even went as far as to almost ruin my life. And you dare o
From Prison Bars To Gold Bars. 21. A Father
"Babe, you never told me you had a sister." Bianca said, staring from Ivy to Moses. "Oh, so you're the illegitimate child my father had with that prostitute. You have some nerves showing your stupid face in front of me. Didn't I tell you that I'd kill you the next time I set my eyes on you?""And here I thought you would have grown out of that little delusional bubble in your head but I guess I was wrong. You're still as stupid as ever.""Why you-?""What the hell is going on Moses? You have a sister?"Richard Wilson was the CEO of the Emigrand group and he was happily married to Rachel Wilson. They had a son, Moses, and to everyone they were the perfect family. Three years after Moses was born, Richard started seeing someone else, a model. Cori Aldrich was a model known both locally and internationally for her beauty and charm. She even won the title of the sexiest woman of the year for four years in a row. Every man was interested in going out with her but she only chose the best
From Prison Bars To Gold Bars. 22. A Declaration Of Love
"So I'm a father," Van had been repeating the same thing over and over again, still finding it difficult to believe. "I am a father!" More than the shock he felt, Van was surprised to find that he was oddly pleased by it as well. He had never imagined that something like that could happen to him, he couldn't believe that such magnificent blessings would fall on him when he least expected it. If he was ever going to have a child, van believed it would be with Bianca, since that was the wonan he had chosen to spend the rest of his life with, and he was loyal to her during their years of courtship. If he hadn't gotten in that fight with Bianca, he would have never ended up at the bar, his one night stand with Ivy would have never happened, and he would have never gotten the privilege to be called fhe father of someone. Although it had never been his intention to cheat on Bianca, but Van was glad it was with a woman like Ivy. She had this aura of toughness around her, and she also see
From Prison Bars To Gold Bars. 23. Marriage Offer
"I initially came here because I had a lunch appointment with a new friend I made, but I'm already too late and I doubt he would still be here. But just in case, why don't I check if he is and if he's not, we can go back to your place.""Okay, but how do you plan on dealing with this mess?" Ivy asked, gesturing at Moses and Bianca. Van sighed and turned his attention back to Moses. "Listen, I have been standing here for way too long and if you don't mind, I'd like to go home."Moses scoffed at his statement. "Do you think this is some kind of joke?! In case you're not aware, you're in a serious trouble here. Not only did you ruin our friend's birthday party and constituted nonsense in such a prestigious hotel, you also threatened me and my fiancee. Do you really think I'm going to let it go?!""He must really think you're joking." Bianca was trying to support Moses but the truth was, she was feeling sad. And as much as she hated to admit it, she felt that way because of Van. He was

After the commotion died down, Van and Ivy left the hotel but rather than going right back to her place, they went to a nearby restaurant to talk. "First of all Ivy, let me apologize for all that transpired between us. Normally, I'm not the type of guy that would do anything to hurt a woman and honestly, asides from Bianca, you're the only other woman I've ever been with. I'm not trying to praise myself or anything, I just want you to know that I'm not a bad person.""Yeah, I hink I know that now." Ivy didn't want to admit it but Van felt like the perfect father figure for her kids. In fact, she was almost glad to have someone like him as their father. "Not to be rude or anything but you need a change of outfit. I wouldn't want our kids to see you wearing that."When she said 'our kids' rather than 'my kids', Van felt a warmness in his heart. He was a father, for real. It wasn't a joke or a prank, he really was a father. It was overwhelming but at the same time…pleasant. "Yeah, I fi
