Yufa

The two broke their contact as soon as they heard the door opened with a loud bang. The snake was the first to lower her feet to the linoleum, looking as startled as all of the criminals caught red handed. While Nathan was still processing what on earth was happening. The prick is drunk as hell. I didn't wait for him to get on his feet, I shot to my own and took long, aimed steps towards the love birds that dared to mess my territory. Like a raging bull, I charged towards the snake that wormed her way in our lives. My bubbling anger fueled the strength hidden in my limbs and I reached them in no time. I grabbed a fist full of  her hair and yanked her out of Nathan's limp arms. She screamed, clawing at my hands that held her precious hair.

"Let me go!" She shrieked.

I heard her plead with urgency but I turned deaf with it. If rage and fury are two different things then I swear both of them were doing a great job blocking all the sanity I kept within me. I was so furious.

My eyes were dark and my breath ragged but I don't care. Once I knew she was out of Nathan's reach, I pulled her hair harder and hurled her hard into the ground.

"Bitch!" She snarled, her feline eyes we're sharp. Her face contorted into an ugly grimace while she tried to stand only to lost her balance and fall i to the ground. I must have hurt her butt good.

I wasn't satisfied. I wanted more. The surge of adrenaline is still working on every single limbs in my body that aches for more action; aches on hurting the snake that defiled my home. I sit on her stomach and slapped her as hard as I could, as many slaps as I could manage. I wanted to gauge her eyes out of her skull. I wanted to pull every single hair on her head. This woman destroyed my family. The one that took Nathan farther from me. The one that gets all the attention that should be mine. She is the greatest threat to my child. She won't be getting anymore of his attention and time. Not ever. I kept slapping her like a madwoman gine overboars. The need to hurt her was insatiable, I cannot get enough of it.

I screamed and shout with every slap I give. I don't care if all the live souls in this house has woken up with my outrage. For me, there was only me, my anger and this snake. I kept slapping her for I don't know how long until my palms hurt and my arms was numb.

"Yufa! Let her go!" I heard Nathan shouting at the back of my head but I wasn't going to listen to him. I'm not done yet, and I don't know if being done hurting her will quell the storm within me.

I stood up, gasping for air before pulling up her hair once again. I wasn't going to give her a chance to regain her bearings. I didn't let her stand either. Instead, I dragged her on the floor, shifting her weight on her hair and pulled her like a garbage bag out of my house. She kept shrieking on the process, kicking, thrashing and clawing my hands trying to pull her hair out of my grasp. She was strong but hell, I was stronger. I kept pulling her until we reached the door and hurled her outside. She landed on her butt and rolled several times on the ground.

I didn't know how did I acquired that great amount of strength for a petite woman like me, but  I was proud and that doesn't matter anymore. Seeing her helpless on the ground made my insides scream with delight. No one is allowed to mess with my family. No one is going to take something that is meant for my child.

"Bitch!!!! You think this is over?" She screamed. "No matter how much you hurt me, still Nathan will come crawling back to me. You still lose!" She smirked feeling so sure about herself.

"Really? Try as much as you can." I grinned devilishly. "But if ever that day comes, I swear it will be the very last time you'll walk this earth with your head still attached to your shoulders." Her smirk fell and her once reddened cheeks went pale.

She scrambled to her feet with one missing heel and ran towards safety. Once she was gone from my sight, I went back to the house and found Nathan still struggling to stand. I didn't waste anymore time, I quickly approached him. Once I reached him, I slapped him hard. Harder than Miranda's. The impact echoed within the living room. My strength died down as soon as I released one final blow to Nathan.

"How dare you?!" I spat. My knees felt wobbly under me. I struggle to keep myself firmly standing.

"How dare you defile this house with your immorality and selfisness?!" I screamed, shattering all my resolve.

My thoughts whirled back to the very first time I spend my night waiting for him. I waited and waited, but the person I have been waiting for never did come home. I was never his home from the very start. I fought against my tears from streaming but they are too powerful.

"All this time, I know everything. I know what you've been doing behind my back. I even saw you kissing her at the event!" Nathan visibly stiffened. "Did you hear anything from me, then? No! Because I know its not wise and besides you still come home, do you? I am still your wife and that's enough to make myself believe that somehow, you'll see me not just a dirty speck in your life but a person nonetheless. Capable of all emotions." I paused. I'm dying to rub  all his shortcomings on his face, I wanted to tell him everything I'm feeling right now but I know everything will be useless. He's already done the worst thing, a cheating husband could ever do to his wife and I don't see any regrets on his eyes. Right from that moment I saw it clearly. I saw the hopes I've kept with vanish as his eyes burned bright with remorse and hatred.

"I didn't ask anything from you, Nathan. Even in my wildest dreams, I never expected you to return my feelings. All I did ask was respect, a little respect would suffice everything." My voice broke into sobs. "But you didn't! Do you really enjoy hurting me? Does seeing me in pain gives you the pleasure, greater than the pleasure Miranda is giving you?" He was silent, but his eyes isn't. The hatred within them burned brighter and I know any minute now, he'll burst just like I did.

"What about you?" Hus whisper came like a breath of ice and fire combined. Scorching, chilling every bones in my body. "I lost everything dear to me the day you came marching into my life. I lost her." I gulped down the fear that threatened to escape as I continued staring at those silver eyes. "I cannot justify what happened now, nor I was going to. You wouldn't believe either if tell you I didn't mean to do it. This is me, and you'll never be able to change me or bring back the man I used to be."

With every word coming from his lips, an invisible hand came wrapping around my neck; squeezing, tightening its grip, blocking the air from entering into my body. It was suffocating.

"This isn't working anymore. Your family already planted it's roots in Europe so I guess our marriage has served it's purpose." He said.

"W-What?" I'm sure I didn't get it or is my mind too numb to take it all in.

"You are free now. You can do anything you want to. We're done."

Those words seemed like a giant belfry, ringing loud shattering my eardrums. Did he mean... No, no, no, no. What about my child? What about my dreams of having a complete family before he arrives?

"No." I said, still dumbfounded at the mere idea of an incomplete family. "You can't do this." Fat tears start falling down from my eyes.

"Apparently, I can. You're not deaf, I'm sure you heard me. I'm leaving." With that, he made his way towards the stairs still wobbling, trying to keep himself upright.

He's leaving.

He's leaving.

He's living!

Miranda's threats ame ringing inside my head; 'No matter how much you hurt me, still Nathan will come crawling back to me. You still lose!' Did he do it on purpose so they can free themselves from the earthly sins they've been doing? Did he intend to it the hard way? No! This isn't happening. I won't be giving in. For my child.

"No, you can't do this to me, Nathan!" I bolted towards the stair and followed him halfway upstairs. "Please, listen to me!" I pleaded. He must know I am with his child. I cannot change his mind, but I know his child will. "Nathan, please!. You must listen to me."

But he kept his pace, never slowing down. I pushed my way upstairs. If only I could reach his hands, this will be over. We could still talk about this, right?

"Nathan, listen to me. Please!" I was relieved when I reached his hands. For my child, I will do everything.

"I said, leave me alone!" I didn't have the chance to hold it tightly, nor held it longer. He snatched back his hands and I felt my body lost it's balance. Everything seemed to slow down, all the sounds muted. I tried to reach for his hands once again but they were too far now. As if on que, my heart starts to beat wildly in it's cage. I didn't regain any strength to keep myself from my inevitable fall. My body fell on the stairs, rolling down the stairs until I hit the ground, hard. Every part of my body ached. I didn't know which parts of my body hit the stairs but I know my lower back took the hardest blow and my head hit the floor too. Black dots start clouding my vision and my ears start ringing louder than before. What had just happened? I blink back the blackening of my vision, trying to focus on my surroundings. This isn't a dream, though I wished it was.

I fell from the stairs, right? My baby. Wait, my baby is fine right? Dread settled at the pit of my stomach. I felt nervous. I tried to move but it was damn too hard, everything is painful. My baby should be fine. He should be. I didn't just try, I forced myself to sit but the sight that greeted me was the most horrible, heart-wrenching thing I saw in my life. Blood pooled under me. My body shook at the fear I know is slithering around me. I lifted my shaking hands and saw blood dripping from them, warm and sticky. My babies blood.

I can no longer contain the emotions I cannot name. All of them was mixing their ways with the others making it so hard to name all of them. My brain cannot even process what really is happening. The blood strips everything in my mind making it a blank piece of paper. I let out an ear piercing scream, guttural and pure. Black spots returned, rapidly decorating my vision until I no longer know what happenes next.
