Iris's POV:

The moment he stepped out of my office, i became speechless. I never thought we will release such insulting words towards me. Almost 9 years have past and i expected a lot from him

I'd rather be straightforward to him than to give him false hope. I want him to know the truth rather than lie to him, at least he knows before hand if something bad happens but i didn't know the past years he grew to be such a jerk

I was so pissed at him for insulting me. Being a doctor is hard and stressful especially when there are persons like him that causes doctors to have headache because they are a nuisance

My thoughts was suddenly cut off by a knock on my door. I swear if that jerk shows up in front of my door again, i don't know what i'll do. Let's just pray to the Lord that he doesn't show up again in my office or else i'll forget that i'm a doctor

I breathe in deeply and calmed myself first before slowly opening my door

"I heard that you are the doctor of dad and wanted to pay a visit" She said before smiling at me. I know her, she will never smile genuinely at me. She's so fake all the plastics combined in the world would be ashamed

"Yes i am and now you saw me, you can leave now. I have a lot of paper works to fill in and finish. I don't need your company" i smiled sarcastically to her and began closing the door but she held it

"Why are you being so sarcastic and bitter? You still haven't accept the fact that i stole Xian away from you and got married with him?" She mocked me while smirking at me

"Why would i be? I'm contented with my life together with my family and friends. I have no plan on marrying someone nor wasting my time on pathetic person like you so if you excuse me, leave before i call the guards" i told her with pure hatred in my voice

I closed the door feeling more stressed. This day is full meeting pathetic people that came across my life again. I have to stay strong because i promised myself i wouldn't be vulnerable as i was before

I don't want to go back to the old me because if i do, i would waste all the improvements i got from staying in US. The main reason why i stayed in the US for 8 years aren't just because i want to study there

It's because i want to change into a better version of myself so if i'm ready to go back, i can face all the obstacles that will come to my life. I won't run away from my problems anymore, i have to face it

Isabella's POV:

Hi and yes i'm back with a POV this time. You just saw what i said to the main character earlier and i don't care if you hate me. At least i'm being true to myself, well in some parts

I hate her guts from the start i met her. I thought we would be friends but then i knew that she is his girlfriend. I'm doing this to her because i want her to feel the grieve and jealousy she made me feel once. It may sound cruel but i think some of you might understand if you have one-sided love

Let's go back to the story. I don't care if a lot of people might hate me because of what i'm doing. At least i'm being true to myself in some parts. You might know the fact that my husband said that i'm a great wife

Well it's just a 50/50 fact, I am a good wife only im his eyes. I only do house works whenever he is at home so he would see me doing things but when he's not around, i'm doing nothing.

I'm just doing all these things so he won't leave me anymore. When we we're still little kids, our parents used to say that the both of us would be married in the future, of course i was delighted. The thought of us getting married brings joy in my heart

But then when we grew up, i saw that he is drifting far away from me. I never thought that day would come by but it did. I want him to be always by my side like the way it used to but then i realized, things can't go back the way it used to be

He started ignoring me when i confessed to him that i like him. Of course i knew that he doesn't like me but me being the b*tch i am, i started spreading rumors about us dating and because of that, his friends started avoiding him and that only broke us apart more. I know i did wrong that's why i didn't chase after him when they moved

I was hurt when i heard the news that he got a girlfriend. At first i thought that maybe if he's happy, i will be happy for him too. But that only lasted a few weeks. I was happy that my parents need to move because of their work and the place happens to be the place where he moved

I was in total bliss and never realized that i was hurting some people too. I know it wasn't Iris's fault that she became his girlfriend but jealousy took over my emotions. Whenever i saw them together, it breaks my heart into millions of pieces but i endured it first

After a long wait, I knew that me and Xian got arranged marriage and it's now my time to take my revenge. I started to announce to everyone that Iris and Xian broke up because of our marriage. The moment i saw Iris broke down made me happy

I've always wanted her to feel the same grieve, pain and jealousy in my heart and i guess my mission was a success. After the graduation, i heard that she went to US to study medicine and might not return. I was happy with an obvious reason, only dumb people can't guess

We got married of course but i guess he still loves her, he doesn't want to have a child with me. Because of that reason, it pushed me to lie to him. It pushed me to pretend to be a great wife to him so he can finally forget about Iris and love me instead of her but nothing happened

Now that she's back, i won't let her take him away from me again. She has to remember that i'm legally married to him and she's nothing. I will fight fire with fire no matter what it takes to win his heart

Iris's POV:

Another day of my life and another day to face immature people. It's very tiring honestly, i have to put on a smiling face so that people won't say bad things about me. I have to keep in my true thoughts so they won't misunderstand what i will say

After my meeting yesterday at the hospital, i bought my own house so i won't be living with my parents anymore. I got everything done like the furnitures, the equipments and etc. Yesterday was very tiring for me but it was worth it

I can finally live in my own space and prepare for work in ease. The house isn't that big nor small. It's a 2 floored house with 3 bathrooms, 5 guest rooms with matching balcony, 2 living rooms, a big kitchen and 1 master bedroom which is mine, and a garage of course

I stood up from my bed and started showering and doing my morning routine. I chose my outfit for the day and grabbed my lab coat. I cooked myself a simple breakfast and ate before heading to work, after that i head towards my garage and hoped on my car to go to work

***

After an hour of driving, i head towards the receptionist and signed on the log book and head towards my office

(Author-nim: okay guys sorry for this trash part, i don't know what doctors do when they arrive at the hospital so forgive me)

I entered my office and sat down to start filling up my left over paper works yesterday and again i was very busy with my moving so i haven't got the time to finish this. I was too focused on finishing my paper works and didn't noticed that someone knocked in my door

"Can i come on Ms. Harberton?" The unknown person asked me. The voice was kinda muffled because my door was closed

"You can come in" i answered without looking at my door because i was still focusing on my work

The person opened the door and i brought my attention to the door. My smile quickly turned into a frown when i saw the person in front of me. What the f*ck is he doing here after he insulted me being a pathetic excuse for a doctor

"Why are you here? Are you gonna insult me again because i just told you the truth about your father's condition?" I said to him while raising my eyebrow with an intimidating look on my face

Once i finish what i was saying, i saw his expression change into happy to nervous real quick. He pulled out a bouquet of pink tulips with a mix of pink roses in it, my favorite flowers. So he actually remembered my favorite things after all this time?

"I know i did wrong and my emotions took over me completely yesterday so i brought your favorite flower as an apology gift. I hope you accept it" he came close to me wearing his sorry expression that i know so well. Oh no mister, that ain't gonna work on me anymore

"Sorry Mr. Kim but i don't accept flowers from the relatives of my patients. You can throw that away or just give it to your wife" i straightforwardly said to him with a bland look on my face

"But i can't throw it away, it will be such a waste plus Isabella doesn't like this type of flowers. I especially bought them just for you" he told me with pleading eyes, almost convincing me to accept his flowers

"So it's my fault that the flowers will go to waste? I didn't asked you to buy me flowers in the first place and plus why would you bring a random girl flowers if you are already married with someone? Are you asking for an issue?" I asked him

"You are not just a random girl for me, i loved you and i still do after all this years" he looked at me straight in the eyes

"Didn't i told you a long time ago that all that happened between us is now over? I clearly told you to let me go, i've already let you go now so please respect my decision" i left him alone on my office. I don't want to be in the same room with him for a long time, i feel uncomfortable when i'm with him

As i was walking into the lobby, someone grabbed me in the shoulders harshly making me look behind me to see the person

"Didn't i told you to stay away from my husband? Me and him are already married, why don't you get that straight in your head. You made him bought a bouquet of pink roses and tulips for you" Isabella said while throwing the bouquet harshly at me causing my lab coat to be stained with dirt from the flowers

I just stood there quietly while waiting for her next action. She didn't really stop there, she stood on the bouquet causing it to be ruined and slapped me really hard

"You're gonna steal my husband again from me. Our 7 years relationship isn't going well because you kept butting in and ruining it" she screamed at me while pushing me harshly at the wall. She's literally creating a scandal in the lobby of the hospital and not minding bunch of people staring at us

"Are you not gonna say anything? Are you ashamed because you keep ruining a married couple's life huh? You're such a sl*t, you don't even feel shame in your body"

I couldn't take it anymore so i slapped her hard across the face. She really had the audacity to scream me being a sl*t in front of many people in a place i work in where people respect me?

"You really dared to say those things to me Isabella after what i sacrificed so that you and your husband could live happily? I left for about 8 years and didn't interfere to the marriage of you both and you had the audacity to scream that i'm a sl*t? Look at yourself Isabella, causing such scandal in the hospital. You didn't even understand the situation and just charged in without knowing anything" i pushed her hard away from me and dusted my coat stained because of her

"Look at me? Look at you! How dare you flirt with my husband without my acknowledgement. He is already married with me so back off! Listen here people, this doctor that you respect so much is a home wrecker so beware of her!" Hasn't she had enough humiliation? Can't she just stop

I walked towards her and slapped her again in the same cheek making my hand print there. I'm shaking in anger right now and God know what i might do to her if she doesn't stop

"Can't you just stop Isabella! You're such a disgrace to the Lowells. I don't know how your parents deal with your scandals. You're a well-known model and you act like that? If you don't feel ashamed of yourself, bring some respect to your husband and your parents! Huh, no wonder your husband still loves me all this years, just look at your attitude, you don't give a f*ck even if you cause yourself a scandal just to spread fake rumours about someone" i was about to leave and check on my other patients when i heard a hard slap noise

"Why do you always do this Isabella? We have talked about this many times that i never love you even once. This marriage is just arranged. I don't know how to put up with your attitude, you can't even bring respect to your own image. Let's go, you had enough scandals already!" I heard Xian said to his wife

I honestly don't understand Isabella. I left them so that i wouldn't mess their marriage and they could live happily. Can't she just understand that i was the one who took a big sacrifice here for them? I hope she realizes her mistakes before it's too late

I understand that she's hurt until now but she's just too much. Screaming at me and calling me a sl*t in front of many people? How dare she

I won't stay quiet like what i did earlier if she do this to me again. I will make her taste her own medicine

And that's a wrap of chapter 29 of the story
