Loki glance at the woman sitting next to him, she sat there for an hour as if she doesn't have any emotions at all, he sighed and looks back at his laptop. Mariin niyang kinuyom ang kamao ng makita ang nakangiting mukha ni Agustos sa News, the Mafia prick is rulling the business world in Italia he became more and more powerful to the past few years on surveiling him. Malakas niyang sinara ang laptop at tumingin kay Asia, his hand balled into fist. If Agustos will rule the world then he would make sure that he has her daughter.

"Asia..."

But Asia didn't even gave him a glance which anger's him more. Parang may sariling isip ang kanyang kamay na hinaltak ang asawa. Her cold eyes darted to him, he can't see any emotions in her eyes as if she's not the same Asia he knew.

"Bakit?"

Loki's hand loose it's grip, but then after thinking about Agustos he grip her arms even more that it hurts but Asia didn't react at all.

"May sasabihin kaba? Kung wala matutulog ako."

"Do you really think ignoring me would make any difference?"

Asia gave him a sweet smile that he cannot accept because he is superior than his wife. How can she smile and nit get hurt by him, he knew that Asia already has feelings for him hindi niya sinasabi pero hindi siya tanga para mapansin. Her eyes sparkled whenever his around and she smile often if she's with him but now it's different, he can't see any emotions in her eyes.

"No, but will lessen the burdens I have inside."

Loki smirk and move his face to kiss his wife, his kiss deepened that he started to touch her body. There lips move in rhyme making him smirk then he immediately pull away.

"You should try hard ignoring me because it won't last." He said smirking. "Go on sleep My Asia."

Asia immediately look away, she wants to smack herself from letting him do that again. Loki cast a magical spell on her and can't just lift it, her affection towards her husband is undying that her body is willing to be with him even if her mind is against it. Mariin niyang kinuyom ang kamay, how could she love a monster?! He will never treat her right and she knows it but her heart is not accepting that negativity. Then her eyes glance back on him nakapikit na ang mata nito, it will never be that easy to escape a demon.

Pinikit na lang din niya ang mga mata dahil nakaramdam siya ng antok, her pregnancy is really something it's making her sleepy all the time.

"Dear passengers please buckle your seatbelt as we are about to land at Lucario's international airport, Thank you!"

Asia felt the happiness after the long flight they had from italy to Philippines, groggy siya sa antok dahil hindi siya gaanong nakatulog.
Pietro took their luggage after they land safely. Then her handsome husband put on his sunglasses and walk like god inside the airport, malakas na tumibok ang puso niya ng hilahin siya ni Loki palapit sa tabi nito then they intertwined their hands.

"Smile, they are waiting for us."

Asia frown not knowing what Loki is talking but after they set their foot outside the airport the flashes of camera's welcomed them.

"Mr, De Silva please answer some questions here!"

"Mr, De Silva how long have you been married?"

"Is she one of your flings before? Did you really hide her from everyone?"

"Misis De silva is it true that you are a prostitute before you met your husband?"

Nanlamig ang buong katawan ni Asia sa tinanong nito na tila pinag sakluban siya ng langit at lupa. Her body started shivering and her mind went blank.

"What did you say?" Loki said and walk towards the reporter.

"We have an Anonymous witness that can tell—"

Ngunit hindi na nito natapos ang sasabihin ng bigyan ito mg malakas na suntok ni Loki sa mukha. Everyone gasped, Asia stood there not moving an inch or even blinking her minds went blank. Naramdaman na lang niya na may humaltak sa kanya patungo sa sasakyan, then they drive away.

"Find out whose behind that reporter! Make sure to find them today!"

"Yes, Master." Pietro said.

Mariing hinilot ni Loki ang sintido at tumingin sa asawang nakatulala parin.

"Don't worry about that, we will do. Everything to hide your secret. I'm not doing any of this for you, I'm trying to save my reputation for marrying a whore."

Asia's heart broke even more but she doesn't have the time to cry, all she care about is her mother dahil kapag nalaman iyon ng ina ay sigurado siyang masasaktan ito.
She's scared that her mother will be disappointed on her or the worse it can kill her.

Nang maiparada ni Pietro ang sasakyan sa mansion ay mabilis itong bumaba at nag bukas ng pinto. Para siyang robot na nag lakad papasok patungo sa kanyang silid, her body felt numb. Her head aches and her tears started rolling down her eyes. Mariin niyang pinunasan ang mata, kinuyom niya ang kamo sa galit.

"Stop crying, we will do our best to stop that News."

Asia nodded and looks at her husband.

"Can you... Can you leave me alone for a bit?" Wika niya. "I want to sleep."

Loki nodded and leave without a word. She needs time to think and to process everything in her mind, napahawak siya sa kumirot ang ulo niya sa stress. She lay her body on her bed and close her eyes hanggang sa makatulog na siya.

Asia then wake up with a pounding headache tatayo na sana siya ngunit may kamay na pumigil sa kanya.

"Mahiga ka lang, you have a fever." Loki said.

Hindi kumibo si Asia she just lay there and close her eyes as per his command.

"What are you feeling?"

"A headache,"

"You have a high fever, that's normal. I think we should call Yvo for a check—"

"No!" Malakas na sigaw ni Asia. "I-I mean okay lang ako, hindi naman ako mamamatay sa lagnat."

"You better be." Loki said, "don't go to work tomorrow, mataas ang lagnat mo mag pahinga ka lang I'll stay here with you."

Hindi na umalma si Asia, all she wants now is to rest.

"Yung pangako mo pala..."

Loki hum and wet the towel.

"Kailan pala ako puwede umuwi samin?"

"Kapag magaling kana, you should rest first. Huwag mong alalahanin ang pamilya mo we took down everything that is asked by that reporter. You know a woman Juliet Oli?"

Asia frown and nodded. Isa ito sa mga nambubully sa kanya noon pa man.

"She's the woman who spill that to the reporters."

"You already saw her at the party after our wedding." Wika ni Asia.

Tila naguguluhan ang mukha ni Loki ngunit hindi kalaunan ay na realize niya ito.

"So that's her..."

Asia nodded and balled her hand into fist, kung nasa harap lang niya ngayon si Juliet ay malamang na nasaktan na niya ito.

"Don't worry I'll handle her."

"A-anong balak mong gawin?"

Loki smile, hinaplos nito ang kanyang mukha.

"Just a little surprise for her and her family."

----

"Oh my god Juliet! You didn't?!"

Juliet gave them a wicked smile. How can she not? It's hilarious, una palang talaga ay malaki na ang galit at inggit niya kay Asia bukod sa pansinin ang dalaga dahil sa ganda nito ay nahumaling din sa kanya ang boyfriend niyo nuong nasa highschool sila. She can't accept the fact that a poor girl like Asia can stand against her.

"Of course I did, she deserves it!" Mapang uyam na wika nito. "She stole Brian from me! And now Lucas is cancelling our wedding because of her! That dirty bitch!"

Lucas called off the wedding saying that he already love someone and that is Asia, kahit na itakwil ito ng pamilya ay pinanindigan niya na hindi siya mag papakasal.

"How can he love someone as dirty as her?! She's a prostitute!"

Malakas niyang binato ang wine glass na hawakn making her two friends startled. Hindi pa siya tapos na sirain si Asia, she would do anything just to bring her down.

"Ma'am Juliet pinapatawag po kayo ng Daddy niyo sa office niya."

Juliet rolled her eyes, she excused herself and was about to leave when her father entered the room holding a bunch of pictures in his hand.

"Dad, do you need something—" ngunit hindi na niya natapos ang sasabihin ng malakas siyang sinampal nito.

"You stupid brat! How can you ruin our image?!" The old man said in anger. Malakas nitong binato sa mukha niya ang nga litrato.

She immediately took one of the pictures and gasped when she saw it. It was her and two other man having threesome.

"Is this the reason why Lucas called off the wedding?! You whore!"

"D-dad let me explain—"

"Explain what?! Kalat na kalat na ang nga larawan mo sa buong baryo! You ruined my image you whore!"

"W-what?"

The two woman also took a picture of her on the ground, they both gasped and look at her in shame.

"I'm sorry Don Julio, we will take our leave."

Erika and Lina took their things and leave the room, siya naman ay naiwan kasama ang ama.

"You bitch! You were just like your mother!" He hissed. "If I lose in this coming election I will f*cking disowned you! Get ready to pack your things! Now all of my investors is backing out!"

Nanlulumong napaupo si Juliet sa sahig at dinampot ang mga larawan niya na nag kalat.

PIETRO hop inside the car and glance at the rear view mirror where Loki is sitting he then gave him a nod saying that he completed his task.

"Make sure to full all of our investment to Julio Castro's company. I don't want them lingering around."

Pietro nodded and started the engine.

"Where should we go Sir?"

"Home, I need to see my wife."

Mabilis na pinaktakbo ni Pietro ang sasakyan palayo, he took his phone out when someone called him. It was an unknown number but he still answered it.

"Who is this?"

"This is Lucas Rivero, I need to talk to you about Asia."

Loki's hand balled into fist when he
mentioned his wife's name.

"What do you want?" Mabilis niyang tanong. "I don't feel like wasting my time."

"Nasa tapat ako ng Village mo, Talk to me and I will tell you." Then he ended the call.

"Is there something wrong Master?"

"No, I just need to talk to someone." He said.

Malayo pa ay namataan na niya ang sasakyan na nakaparada sa tapat ng village niya. He knew who it is and his not wrong, pinahinto niya kay Pietro ang sasakyan at lumabas doon ganoon din si Lucas.

"What do you want?"

Lucas walk towards him, tumayo ito sa harap niya at tumingin sa kanyang mga mata. He's trying to intimidate him but that won't work.

"I don't have all day." Bored niyang wika.

"How much?"

Loki frown, he put his hand inside his pocket. Sumandal siya sa hood ng kanyang sasakyang at ngumiti.

"What do you mean?"

"Asia, how much should I pay to get her back?"

Loko laughed making Lucas angrier than before malakas nitong hinila ang damit niya palapit sa kanya.

"Do you think this is funny?!" He hissed. "Alam kong napilitan lang si Asia, she doesn't have a choice but to work there! And you came to pay for her, to make her your toy! And now you're laughing."

Loki smirk then push Lucas away, pinagpag niya ang damit na medyo nagusot bago tumingin sa binata.

"Of course it's not her will to work as a prostitute in that club, but shouldn't have you thought about that before leaving her behind? Don't act like a saint, if you were just not a coward Asia won't be there at first place."

"Anong sinabi mo?"

"I know everything I'm not dumb, and if you are here to take my wife away from me then you better leave. My wife is not for sale, she is mine alone, don't come near her don't touch her, if possible don't breathe the same air as her. Asia is mine and you better back off because I can kill you in more ways than one."

Tumalikod na siya dito at papasok na sana sa sasakyan ng muling mag salita si Lucas.

"What is Asia to you? You bought her to be your toy! Your sex slave! Do you even like her?"

Loki smirk, muli niya itong hinarap then he gave him a death stare.

"You don't know how long I have waited just to find my precious gem. You can't and will never take what is mine, now leave before I kill you."
