Isang linggo ng sunod-sunod na nakatanggap si Olivia ng kahon na pareho lang ang laman sa una niyang natanggap. Minsan ay makikita niya ang kahon sa sala, minsan sa kusina o kaya naman sa kaniyang kwarto. Kanina may nakita na naman siyang kahon na nakalagay sa hardin ni Isabel. Hindi niya ito binuksan at saka pinulot lang upang ilagay sa basurahan. Kahit anong gawin nila ay hindi ito mahuli-huli. Nagdagdag rin ng CCTV si Vanadium pero ganoon pa rin, wala pa rin silang ideya kung sino ang nagpadala sa kaniya ng mga iyon. Tila alam ng nagpadala sa kaniya ang pasikot-sikot ng bahay at hindi ito mahagip-hagip ng camera. Ilang araw na siyang hindi makatulog ng maayos sa takot na baka bigla na lang siyang pasukin sa sa kaniyang silid. Mabuti na lang at doon na palaging natutulog si Vanadium sa kaniyang silid kaya medyo napanatag ang kalooban niya.

Chapter XXVIII Matagal niyang tinitigan ang babaeng matamis na ngumiti sa kaniya. Hindi siya makagalaw sa kinatatayuan at tila napako na ang kaniyang katawan sa sahig. Paanong nangyari? Kailan pa? Saan? Nanatili siyang nakatulala at hindi niya namalayang nakalapit na pala sa kaniya si Isabel. Nagising na lang siya nang biglang lumagapak sa kaniya ang kamay ng dati niyang amo. Hindi lang isa kun’di maka-ilang beses siyang sinampal ni Isabel na maski siya ay hindi na mabilang. Sobrang hapdi na nang magkabila niyang pisngi at wala siyang magawa kun’di tanggapin ito. Muntik pa siyang matumba mabuti na lang at nabalanse niya ang kaniyang sarili. Ilang saglit pa ay tumigil na si Isabel at masuyo siya nitong hinawakan sa kaniyang namamagang pisngi. “Masakit ba Olivia?”
The Contract Chapter 29
Chapter XXIXMahigit tatlumpung minuto munang nag-antay si Olivia bago niya narinig ang ingay sa labas ng pinto. Ilang sandali pa ay dahan-dahan na itong bumukas at bumungad sa kanya ang nakangiting mukha ng babaeng may dala-dalang pagkain.Kumunot ang noo ni Olivia dahil parang pamilyar sa kaniya ang mukha nito. Parang nakita niya na ito pero hindi niya mawari kung kailan, paano o kung saan. Sinundan niya ito ng tingin hanggang sa inilapag nito ang dala-dala niyang pagkain na nakalagay sa food tray. Kaagad siyang napatayo mula sa pagkaka-upo at unti-unting lumayo sa may kama. Doon kasi nilagay ng babae ang kanyang pagkain.“Remember me, ma’am?” idiniin pa nito ang salitang ma’am na para bang sa salitang ‘yon ay maalala kaagad ni Olivia ku

Chapter XXXNaalimpungatan si Olivia dahil sa marahang pag yugyug sa kanyang balikat kasabay din ng pagbulong malapit sa kanyang mukha. Napaungol muna siya bago dahan-dahang minulat ang mga mata. Kaagad na bumungad sa kanya ang pagmumukha ni Vanadium. Biglang nagising ang kaniyang diwa at nanlalaki ang matang tiningnan ang kaharap. P-Paanong…?Dahan-dahan siyang bumanngon habang nanatiling nakatitig kay Vanadium. Inalalayan naman siya ng huli upang maka-upo siya ng maayos. Nang maka-ayos ng upo ay ilang segundo niya muna itong tinitigan bago makapagsalita.“A-Adi?” hindi makapaniwalang tanong ni Olivia sa lalaking kaharap na masuyo siyang tiningnan. Kaagad na napansin ni Vanadium ang pamamaga ng mukha ng dalaga kaya nag-aalala niya itong hinawakan. Napaigi

Chapter XXXIHindi alam ni Olivia kung ano ang eksaktong nangyari pero namalayan niya na lang na may nagbabarilan na sa second floor pati na rin sa paligid niya.Pagkatapos kasing patayin kanina ni Isabel ang kaniyang cellphone ay may biglang pumasok na mga kalalakihan. Hindi niya alam kung sino ang mga ‘yon pero alam niyang kakampi nila ito kasi kaagad sila nitong pinalibutan upang protektahan. Napahinga siya nang maluwag ng wala nang putukan na narinig. Wala siyang ideya kung may namatay ba at wala na siyang pakialam doon. Ang importante sa kanya ngayon ay hindi siya natamaan ng bala pati na rin si Vanadium.“Adi…” tawag ni Olivia kay Vanadium.Lumingon naman kaagad sa kanya ang lalaki. “Yes baby?”

Chapter XXXII “Stressed ba siya lately?” “Yes doc.” “Mmm… kaya pala.” “Why doc? Is there a problem with the baby in her womb? How about Olivia?” bakas ang pag-alala sa boses ni Vanadium. “As much as possible sana, ipapa-iwas mo sa kanya ang mga bagay o lugar o kaya ay tao na nagiging dahilan ng stress niya. There’s nothing wrong naman with her and the baby, Mister. Mahina lang ang kapit ni baby kaya dapat total bed rest lang talaga siya until lumakas na ang kapit ni baby sa kaniya. Huwag mo muna siyang papagurin dahil baka maging dahilan pa ito upang mag bleeding siya. Thankfully nadala mo kaagad siya sa ospital kundi baka maging mas malala pa ang

Chapter XXXIIIHalos apat na araw silang nanatili sa ospital bago i-discharge ng doctor si Olivia. Pauwi na sila ngayon sa bahay dahil ngayon din daw darating si Clara. Masaya si Olivia at excited na siyang makitang muli ang kanyang alaga. Masaya siyang hindi pala ito tuluyang nawala sa kanila. Kahit na ganoon ang ginawa ni Isabel sa kanya ay nagpapasalamat pa rin siya rito dahil hindi niya pinatay ang kanyang anak.Bumuntong hininga si Olivia dahil sa kanyang nasaksahin ilang araw na ang nakalipas. Hindi niya man maamin pero alam niya sa sarili niya na naaawa siya kay Isabel. Hindi niya alam kung ano pa ang mga sinapit ni Isabel sa kamay ng kanyang kapatid pero paniguradong nagdulot ito ng trauma sa kaniya. Napabuntong hininga na lang siya ulit saka inalis sa isip si Isabel. Sinabihan na rin kasi siya ng doctor na huwag mag-isip ng

Chapter XXXIVNang makapasok ang dalawa ay kaagad na ngumisi ang lalaking nakapula.“Akin na ang bracelet na gawa sa loombands Wolastik. Bakit ka kasi nakikipag pustahan sa gwapong katulad ko. Sabi ko naman sa’yo ’diba. Dadalhin ni chong parekoy Ruther si pareng Zirco?” nagmamayabang na saad nito.Umismid lang naman ang tinatawag na Wolastik at saka masama ang mukhang hinubad ang loom bands na bracelet. “Inggitero ka talagang Hermes ka. Ang mahal kaya ng bili ko dyan tapos hihingin mo lang? Tsk.” para itong batang natalo sa laro at hindi maipinta ang mukha.Ngisi lang ang naging sagot ng tinatawag na Hermes ng binata saka ito dumila sa kaniya.
The Contract Chapter 35 (Vanadium's POV)
Vanadium first saw Olivia in their kitchen, drinking her coffee and bowing her head. He clearly remembers the awkwardness that the woman felt in her surroundings by just one look at her. She was shy and timid but when their eyes locked, he knew it was not just a simple stare the woman had given to him. He, on the other hand, doesn’t know but he immediately felt something he didn't understand but of course, he chose not to pay attention to it. He doesn’t like the idea that his heart beat fast because of their maid that was staring at him for just a few seconds. It wasn’t fair to his wife and to be honest, at that time, the only people that were important to her were her wife and her only daughter. They are his life and he will definitely not know what will happen to him if both of them will leave him.But maybe God does want him to lose his mind when his wife leaves them and

“Congratulations.” Wika ng lahat nang nasa mesa kina Olivia at Vanadium. Nandito sila ngayon sa reception ng kanilang kasal at masayang nagkukwentuhan. Nakapalibot ngayon sa mesa ang apat na kaibigan ni Vanadium, ang pamilya ni Olivia, pati na rin ang pamilya ni Nanay Rina. Nandito rin ngayon sina Thori at Inday samantalang si Seleni naman ay hindi nakarating dahil may biglaan daw itong emergency. Nagpadala na lamang ito ng regalo sa mag-asawa at ngayon niya lang din nalaman na magpinsan pala ang babae saka si Vanadium. Hindi man lang ito nasabi sa kaniya noon ni Leni pero ayos lang, hindi naman iyon masyadong importante.“Salamat.” Ngumiti ng matamis si Olivia sa lahat ng nasa mesa.“Anak,” lumingon si Olivia sa kanyang Inay na siyang tumawag sa kaniya.
The Contract Chapter 39 (Vanadium's POV) Last Part
Olivia is now five months pregnant and he is beyond happy. Even if he still worries about the death threat Olivia was receiving, he made sure that Olivia is always safe. He also put CCTV’s all over the house, even outside the gate. When he saw a woman putting that little box in their mailbox, he already suspected that it was Isabel but of course he still needed to make sure so he called his friend for help. After a few days, his friend called him and asked for a meet up. He doesn’t want to leave Olivia but his friend told him that it was about the woman who threatened Olivia as well as the location of Clara. So he doesn't have a choice but to leave Olivia alone.When he came to the bar, he quickly went upstairs and three of her friends welcomed him. His eyebrows met and he looked at them, wondering why they are all here.
The Contract Chapter 38 (Vanadium's POV)
Morning came and Vanadium excitedly got up early and decided to cook for Olivia. He wanted to impress the woman even though she already tasted the food he cooked last time. But it’s almost afternoon, and there was no Olivia showing up. He was already late but he didn’t care at all. After an hour, there was still no sign of Olivia so he decided to reheat the food and bring it to Olivia’s. It’s not Olivia’s behavior to not go out this late. So he was worried because there is surely something wrong with Olivia.He knocked the door several times and when it opened, Olivia’s distorted face welcomed Vanadium. His worry doubled because of it and immediately asked what happened. Olivia just answers that it’s nothing but her voice betrayed her. It’s lifeless and Vanadium knows that she has a problem.
The Contract Chapter 37 (Vanadium's POV)
Vanadium is worried sick when Olivia didn’t wake up for nearly 24 hours straight right after their steamy hot sex last night. He didn’t know that it would make her sleep for almost a day. He keeps on blaming himself because of what happened to Olivia. He regretted what happened to the woman who was now sleeping soundly inside her room, however, he does not regret what they did last night. He can’t think properly because of the what if’s running inside his head. What if Olivia will not wake up and ends up not giving him a child? What if he will not have a child anymore? But deep inside, he knows the truth that he’s scared that he will lose Olivia. He's afraid that Olivia will also leave like what Clara and Isabel did to him. He doesn’t care if he looks like an idiot phasing back and forth. He is right in front of Olivia’s room and after a while, he decides to look at the woman inside.
The Contract Chapter 36 (Vanadium's POV)
Few weeks passed and Vanadium was still in pain because of the loss of his beloved daughter. He cannot focus on what he’s been doing at the office so he told his secretary to cancel all his meetings and appointments and he immediately went to a bar that is owned by one of his high school friends.He immediately maneuvered his car and when he arrived, he quickly went to the VIP room and ordered three bottles of whiskey. He wants to drink silently and be drunk thinking that it can ease his pain away. He cannot move-on and he will never move-on. He decided to stop drinking when his head started to throb and everything that surrounds him is already spinning.Vanadium took a rest for a while and when he thought he was sober enough, he got up and paid his bills. When he’s already done, he quickly goes out of the bar even though
