"S-Sir Vincent! W-What are you waiting for?! Let's take Ma'am Laila to the hospital."Vincent was like a statue in his position. The two portions of his mind were debating about what he should do. Should he rescue the child from her womb or just let the baby disappear so that he and Romana won't have any problems?"S-Sir Vincent!" Rina shrieked."C-Choose your child just this time! T-This is the only thing you can do for your wife and your baby!"He was about to step near his wife when Tristan unexpectedly entered the door."Laila!" he exclaimed when he saw Laila lying bloody on the floor.He let go of the fruit basket he was carrying and directly ran towards the crying woman."What happened?!" he empathically asked."T-Tristan ... M-My baby! H-Help me! S-Save my baby!"Tristan picked Laila up without delay. He was astonished for a beat when he caught Vincent just standing on one side who appeared to be incapable to move until now."What are you doing?! Why are you still standing ther
"H-Hello . . . R-Romana . . ."Vincent was so anxious when Romana answered the call."Turn on the loudspeaker. I want to listen to your conversation. If you can't do that, just let me and your child go," Laila declared, staring at him seriously and observing all his actions.His hand was trembling as he pressed the loudspeaker button of his mobile phone."Hello? Baby? Why aren't you talking? Is there something wrong?" Romana asked softly.He swallowed several times after hearing the woman's pleasant voice.Meanwhile, Laila smiled bitterly. Her husband's other woman is very sweet so he is crazy about the woman even though she is older than him."R-Romana . . . I-I want to say something . . . " he commenced.It's tough for him to let go of the woman because he's used to her fondness and lavish life but he doesn't wish for his wife and child to end up with a man who is only a driver.He has expended a lot since Laila was hospitalized, he has also sacrificed so much. He won't let it all g
Vincent was stunned and speechless from his stand. He had such a nightmare.Laila was like a cowgirl who frequently swings and grinds on top of the man he hates the most; Tristan."A-Animals!" he roared angrily.He thought she was a very sober woman! She hates Romana for being liberated but the truth is that she's the one who's doing something horrific."F-Forgive me, Vincent! I-I'm just hopeless for you not to leave me! I-I have no intention of informing you of this because I'm fine with this arrangement... B- But . . . Y-You want to leave me so I've uncovered the truth!" Romana pretended to cry.She probably would have received many awards for being a drama queen if she had become an actress.Vincent let go of the luggage he was carrying. He was eaten up with wrath.That's it! The logic of why it's so easy for Laila to say that she's going to be with Tristan is because the fact is that something already happens between them.He couldn't quite imagine what other mischief she was doin
Laila was about to squirt the acid on Romana's face when Vincent barred himself from the lady.Laila was dumbfounded."Stop it, Laila! Splash that on me if you want! After all, I'm the root of all this!""W-Why Vincent? W-Why are you doing this?" she asked with shivering lips.She couldn't accept that Vincent will use his body to keep his girl safe.Vincent hid Romana behind him to defend her from whatever frenzy his wife was scheming to do."It's tough for me to explain all my excuses to you, Laila. But there's only one reason why I left you, I don't love you anymore."Laila tightly held the small bottle in her hand. The two parts of her mind were debating whether she should throw what she was holding to Vincent or just give up."If destroying my face can make you feel better, go ahead! Do it! But before that, I hope you remembered the sacrifices I made for you! I endured everything before I gave you up, Laila! I chose you against Romana without knowing you had sex with another man!"
"I already told you to let him go. Look what happened to you," Vincent preached to Romana as he treated the scratch on her face.Her lips twitched."It was nothing compared to Laila's wounds," she uttered.She examined Vincent's reaction but he wasn't affected at all."Aren't you worried about your wife?" she asked again.She wanted to make sure he had no love left for the woman. He put down the cotton with alcohol he was holding and then looked at her enormously."Can we prevent chit chatting about her? My head heats up every time I hear her name.""Why? Is it because she cheated on you? Did she step on your ego? Or did you get hurt because you still love her?"She glanced straight into his eyes. She wanted to see the innermost part of the man's heart."None of those are my answers. I'm infuriated because I'm determined to leave you for her and her child even though I know I'll hurt you.Also, I don't want my child to live without a father, and furthermore told myself that you can li
Romana successfully sent the divorce papers to both sides. Laila and Vincent didn't know that she was the one who's behind it."Laila ... Vincent sent you something."Laila took the envelope from Tristan's hand. Her hands were trembling as she opened the thing."D-Divorce paper ...'" she stuttered."H-He didn't even ask my situation and how's the baby after he hurts me? I-Is this more important than our lives?"She wept again because of her bitterness. She thought of her lost baby again."Stop it... Let the one above punish people like them," Tristan irritably sounded.Although what happened to Laila was tragic, in Tristan's mind it was better that it took place. At least she was freed from a useless marriage. She got rid of a man who valued sex and money more.Laila took her pen from the front of her table and then signed the document. She was tired of chasing the man who did nothing but hurt her.After signing, she passed the paper to Tristan again. "Please, return that to him," she
"The patient's vital signs are stable. Let's just wait for her to recover consciousness."Tristan sat down in the empty seat. He looked up, shut his eyes, and afterward, he prayed silently."My God, thank you so much. You did not leave Laila behind ""I am glad that you are here for Laila! Her beast husband left her! After he found his fatty sugar mommy, he didn't come back to their house. That Vincent is a nightmare!"Aunt Cora was next to him. The old woman was still whining about what happened. She blames no one but Vincent. She cussed the man for what he did to Laila.He came into the room where Laila was. She is still unconscious."I am expecting that this is the last time I will see you lying in that bed. It was unbearable to see your life wrecked because of me. May the unpleasant memories be wiped off from your mind," he whispered to the sleeping woman.He stroked her long hair and then gave the girl a light kiss on the forehead.After a few hours of vigilance, he notified the
"Y-Yes, V-Vincent! I will marry you!" she tearfully responded to the man.Her workers came into her office one by one. They are all keeping a red rose.Vincent stood up to place the ring on her finger and after that, he supported her towards the middle of her workroom.The employees approached her one by one to hand over the roses they were holding."Congratulations, Miss Lichauco!" greeting from her secretary with a smile on her lips."Thank you!"Every time she accepts roses, she also receives congratulations from them.She never dreamed of getting married. She has no intention to be bound to a man because that is contrary to her perspectives on life.For her, love is just like venom that can destroy the whole disposition of whoever feels it.But all those assumptions were changed because of Vincent. The man made her feel that even though she is not ideal, she has the right to be loved and cared for.A bunch of applause brought her back to reality. Vincent hugged her tight and then
