 "Cat got you tongue? Do you really think Regan is loyal to you? Of course not. Loyalty Is far from his vocabulary. Look at him. He came to me the moment we saw each other again" -Tiffany

CARINA'S P.O.V.

I wanted to go there immediately but I suddenly have this uneasy feeling inside me that I couldn't comprehend. I took a deep sigh and looked at my daughter who was now staring at me with a curious look on her face.

"Mommy that lady said daddy is upstairs. Let's go" She said as she pulled my hand. It felt like the time became so slow while we're on our way upstairs. My heart was beating so fast that it felt like it's about to pop out of my chest. The anxiety I was feeling was getting worst as we approach the room. Why would he go inside a room with someone?

When we were in front of the room that Rosie was talking about, I knocked reluctantly but nobody was answering or even opening the door. I knocked again and still no answer. Then I heard someone moaning loudly and that made me more hesitant to knock again.

"Mommy, somebody is inside. Maybe its daddy" My daughter said and was about to open the door but I stopped her.

"Stay here and wait for mommy okay? I will just check it if was daddy or not" She nodded her head and went to the single sofa at the mini living room just across the room. There was even a TV there and a grand piano at the corner. Rosie's house really is beautiful but it doesn't feel homey. I don't know why.

I turned around and look at the door in front of me, having second thoughts on knocking again. I was really hesitant to open the door but my instinct was telling me that Regan was inside. I took a deep breath and opened the door without knocking and to my surprise, it wasn't locked. I looked inside and the scene I saw almost broke my sanity, making my heart felt like somebody stabbed it many times. 

Regan was lying there naked on the bed while a girl was on top of him. They were both naked. Regan's eyes were closed but the moment he opened his eyes and realized what was happening and that I was there at the doorway, looking at them, he looked so shocked and pushed the girl off of him immediately and got off the bed and started putting his clothes on in a hurry.

"It's not what you think Kitten. I don't know what happened-----" The things he was saying didn't registered in my head as my eyes stared at the woman who was smirking smugly at me. She didn't even bothered covering her nakedness. I never thought I would see her again after all these years but I did. She was right in front of me. She's real. My tears fell from my eyes as I looked at Regan who was now properly dressed. He tried to touch me but I swatted his hand away.

"Don't touch me!" I shouted angrily.

"Hello Carina. Still remember me?" The woman asked while smiling sarcastically at me. I looked at him in disgust but he was just shaking his head. His eyes had unshed tears threatening to fall down and were like begging me not believe what I saw and whatever the woman was about to say.

"Cat got you tongue? Do you really think Regan is loyal to you? Of course not. Loyalty Is far from his vocabulary. Look at him. He came to me the moment we saw each other again" She taunted at me. I couldn't even retaliate because of the pain I was feeling at the moment that I felt like I was glued on the floor. My heart tightened painfully and it was so hard to find my voice.

"Shut the f*ck up Tiffany! We both know that wasn't what happened! Don't believe whatever she says Kitten. You know she's a liar and a conniving bitch" He shouted at her in anger and yanked her arm. He looked like he was about to kill her but I couldn't care less anymore. 

I gathered all the strength I have and walked out of the room. I went to where I left my daughter and quickly picked her up onto my arms and walked away from them as fast as I could. I heard him shouting my name while following me but I ignored him. We were almost at the car when my daughter spoke.

"M-mommy, I can't breathe" I stopped on my tracks and stared at her worriedly. She was breathing shortly and looked like she was about to pass out. Her face was pale and has red spots, even down her neck and arms. I didn't notice a while ago. I panicked all of a sudden and shouted for the driver who was in front of the car, to take us to the hospital. Regan caught up to us.

"What happened to her?" He asked worriedly and cupped our daughter's face with his hands.

"She can't breathe and there are red spots on her body! I think she's having an allergy attack!" I answered with a trembling voice, almost shouting because of panic and fear. Scared was an understatement of what I felt upon seeing my daughter like that. Thankfully, there was a nearby hospital from Rosie's house. When we arrived there, the hospital staffs quickly attended to her and told us to just wait outside the emergency room where they took her.

I couldn't even seat because of the fear I was feeling at the moment. Just thinking about my baby being at the hospital was like killing me. I covered my face with my hands as I continued sobbing, uncaring if there were people who were now staring at me in pity. I felt Regan's arms wrapped around me but I pushed him away immediately. The events earlier replayed in my head and I slapped him because of the anger I was feeling towards him.

"Don't ever ever touch me! Get out of here! I don't want to see you!" I yelled at him but he shook his head no. He wrapped his arms around me again, forcefully this time and I tried my hardest to push him away as I repeatedly hit his chest with my fists but he didn't let go. Instead, he hugged me tightly until I lost my strength and just cried on his chest for I didn't know how long.

"Stop it Kitten. She's going to be alright. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I love you so much, you and our kids...."He kept on repeating those words as he repeatedly kissing my forehead, comforting me. Yes, I was so angry at him but the anxiety and fear I was feeling right now for the safety of my daughter was more my concern than my anger towards him.

Just waiting outside the emergency room felt like eternity and I've never felt this scared in my entire life. If something happened to my daughter, I will never ever forgive myself. After I don't know how long, the door opened and the doctor came out. Regan and I quickly approached him.

"How's my daughter doctor?" I asked before Regan could open his mouth. The doctor has a serious face as he stared at the both of us.

"Your daughter's lucky. She's out of danger now. Luckily you brought her here quickly if not this could have killed her. She had a severe allergy attack. Are you aware about her allergy?" The doctor asked us. I felt a sudden relief washed over me as I heard the good news but I was still bothered of what could she consumed earlier that caused this.

"Y-yes. She has an allergy with peanuts. We attended a party a while ago but I was told that the food they served at the party didn't have any peanuts in them" I quickly explained. I tried to recall all the food she ate earlier but I was sure that they didn't contain any peanuts.

"Most likely, the last thing she ate caused this. Anyway, just make sure that this won't happen again. She will be staying here until tomorrow to make sure that everything's okay. You can see her now" The doctor said and left us.

Then the vanilla ice cream came into my mind.

"She ate an ice cream" I muttered to myself confusedly. Russel said that it was a vanilla ice cream and I was so stupid to believe him because my mind was wondering where Regan was. Now because of my carelessness, my daughter almost died. My fist tightened in intense anger.

"Kitten, did someone give the ice cream to Scarlet?" Regan asked as he held my shoulders while staring at me. I could see how bothered he was and at the same time he was obviously outraged of what happened.

"It was Russel Cordova. He asked a waiter at the event. He went to our table while you were with your sl*t" I answered full of sarcasm and left him there. I went inside my daughter's hospital room and I saw her sleeping with an IV fluid sticking in her arm. It was my first time seeing her like that and it hurt so much. If only I could take the pain from her, her stupid allergy, I would do it. I held her hand and kissed it. My tears were threatening to fall down again but I blinked it back. I don't want her to wake up and see me crying.

I startled when I felt a warm hand on my shoulder. I looked up to see who it was and it was none other than Regan. I pulled away from his touch and I saw the tinge of hurt flashed through his eyes. He was staring at me with eyes full of sadness. He approached Scarlet and gently kissed her forehead then sat on the chair and held her other hand. We stayed like that for a couple of minutes without talking. Then after about an hour, he stood up.

"Kitten, can we talk?" He asked pleadingly. I glared at him and took a deep breath.

"Not now. I don't want to talk about it" I answered coldly and he nodded his head in understanding.

REGAN'S P.O.V.

Angry is an understatement of what I was feeling at the moment. I was so outraged to all the people who did this to me and my daughter. If I could just kill someone that easily. I looked at Carina who didn't leave our daughter's side since we came inside her room. She looked so tensed and looked like she would burst into tears any moment.

I know she's hurt after what happened but the pain doubled because of what happened to Scarlet. I looked at my daughter's sleeping face and my fist tightened in fury. I stood up and kissed her cheek before I gazed at Carina who was still giving me cold shoulders.

"Kitten, I need to do something. Look after Scarlet for the meantime. I'll come back as soon as I can" She raised her head to look at me and I almost gasped when I saw her with all the mixed emotions on her face but the anger that passed through her eyes didn't escaped from my keen and observant eyes.

"Just go" She answered simply but her eyes were ice cold and I felt like a knife pierced my heart. I leaned over her to kiss her cheek but she evaded it. I heaved a sigh and decided to just leave her for now and proceed to what I must do. I really wanted to talk to her but our daughter is the most important for now.

When I was outside the hospital, I dialed on my phone and contacted my lawyer.

"Hello Attorney Santiago. I need to talk to you right now" I told him the time and place of our meeting and then hang up. I dialed another number again.

"Yes Mr. Brown, I need your services again. This time, I want it as soon as possible". After I talked to Mr. Brown, I went to the hospital's parking lot to get my car. I told the driver a while ago to retire for the night and go home. When I was inside the car, I just sat there trying to remember what really happened. How come I was in a room with that woman when I woke up? I leaned back my head to the head rest and closed my eyes...
