Asia slowly opened her eyes, hindi niya alam kung panaginip ba ang nangyari sa kanya? She slowly sat on her bed and hold her pounding head. She is having a severe headache, inikot niya ang paningin sa paligid ngunit mas lalo yatang sumakit ang ulo niya. She tried to stood up but someone stopped her.

"Stay in bed..."

Asia's eyes widened when she realize it was Yvo, matagal din niya itong hindi na kita and to be exact she doesn't want to see him in this kind of situation either.

"A-anong ginagawa mo dito?"

Yvo gave her a smile then she sat on the edge of her bed.

"You don't have to worry about a thing, I didn't tell him." Wika nito.

"Why?" Kinakabahan niyang tanong, Yvo is Loki's friend how could she trust him. "Kaibigan ka niya."

Pinag siklop ni Yvo ang kamay at tumingin sa kawalan, he know Loki alam niya ang takbo ng utak nito. Loki was once a kind kid back in their highschool but after the incident he became different who wouldn't? He witness how his parents killed, it was traumatizing.

"I don't really care if you would trust my words or not I have nothing to lose." Wika nito. "Your pregnancy is getting riskier, you don't know the trouble you put yourself in."

"Do you?"

Yvo chuckled.

"I do know, but i won't tell you." He said. "I'm still Loki's friend."

Hindi na nakapag salita pa si Asia ng tumayo si Yvo at mag lakad ito paalis ng kanyang silid. Then after a while Loki came in holding a tray of food for her, nag lakad ito palapit sa kama niya at naupo.

"Are you okay? How are you feeling?"

"Better, a-anong nangyari?"

Loki sighed.

"It was around eleven when I came home, it was quite and I thought you were sleeping. I was tired and immediately went our room and saw you lying in the floor."

Asia frown, dahan dahan siyang naupo. Inalalayan naman siya ng asawa dahil parang mas sumakit ang ulo niya sa sinabi nito.

"What?"

"I thought it was something serious so I immediately called Yvo. He said that it was from fatigue and stress."

Agad na napahawak si Asia sa kanyang ulo dahil bigla nanaman itong sumakit, mas lalo siyang naguguluhan sa nangyayari. So it was all a dream? But why does it feels so real like it actually happened.

"Pero nakita ko, y-yung lalaki..."

Loki frown, hinawakan niya ang balikat ng asawa.

"Who?"

Asia then shake her head, wala na din naman siyang magagawa. She just really hope it was a dream.

"Kumain kana, you have to eat."

Hindi na umalma si Asia, isa pa ay kumakalam na din naman ang sikmura niya. The food in her plate is making her mouth watered, it seems like she didn't eat for a week.

"I suggest you stay at our house in Laguna for a while." Wika ni Loki

"Ako lang?"

Loki hum. Asia nods her head, it was far the best decision Loki ever made. She doesn't want to be with him either.

"Puwede mo bang kumustahin sila Nanay? Na-mimiss ko na sila. Si Jena kung kumusta yung shooting niya."

Labis ang kanyang pag ka sabik na muling makasama ang pamilya, kahit man lang sana makausap ang mga ito ay ayos na. But Loki won't even allow her to have a phone, pinag masdan na lang niya ang asawa ng tumayo ito then she focus herself on her food. Wala naman siyang mapapala kahit na pakatitigan niya pa ito then Loki went back to her side and sat beside her.

"Here... Ask them yourself."

Agad na nabitawan ni Asia ang kubyertos na hawak ng makita ang inaabot ni Loki. It was a smartphone, he is giving her an access to it.

"A-akin to?" Naiiyak niyang wika.

Loki nodded.

"Call them anytime you want, call me too."

Hindi na siya nag dalawang isip pa, she put the tray beside and jump to her husband hugging him.

"Thank you .." naluluha niyang wika, she's finally getting things that she wanted and it just makes her happy.

Niyakap siya pabalik ng asawa, Loki tapped her back and hugged her. Hinaplos nito ang alon alon niyang buhok.

"We have already pack your things, you can leave tomorrow."

Kumalas sa yakap si Asia at pinaka titigan ang asawa then she slightly shook her head.

"Mag papaalam na muna ako kay Gina, ayokong umalis na kang bigla."

Ayaw mang pumayag ay napilitan si Loki sa kanyang naging desisyon, he give her what she wanted.

"Kumain kana, pumapayat kana."

Asia chuckled and nodded, she indulgence the food as if she was starved for a year. Parang mas masarap ang pag kain ngayon kaysa sa mga nakaraang araw, maybe because she's happy.

GINA WIPE her tears away and hugged her tight, nag paalam na kasi siya na hindi na muna papasok. Someone would took her place already, hindi naman kasi talaga puwedeng mabakante iyon. Loki has a tons of things in his plate and he needed a secretary.

"Babalik naman ako, saka puwede naman tayong mag usap through phone."

Gina sniff making Asia chuckled, she has always been a good friend to her. Yung totoong tao na tinuring siyang kaibigan not because she's Loki's wife but because she's Asia Argento.

"Siguraduhin mo lang na babalik ka! Kung hindi magagalit ako at hindi na kita papansinin kahit kailan."

Asia nodded, binuksan niya ang dalagang shoulder bag at inilabas doon amg binili niyang regalo para sa kaibigan. It was her paycheck and she saved it for herself but she wants to give something to Gina.

"Asia this is too much."

"No, it's not. Ikaw lang yung taong tumuring sakin na kaibigan sa loob ng opisina na to. You became my friend not because I'm your bosses wife, but because you are kind and wonderful."

Inilagay niya ang gold bracelet sa wrist ni Gina, then she showed hers.

"Ang ganda, pero sigurado ako na mahal!" Wika nito.

Asia chuckled.

"It was not don't worry."

Medyo matagal pa silang nag kuwentuhan ng mag salita si Pietro sa kanilang likuran.

"My lady, it's time."

Asia sighed, muli niyang niyakap ang kaibigan. She will surely miss Gina, it was not a permanent leave but who knows what is running to her husband's mind. Habang nasa sasakyan ay wala siyang ibang naisip kung hindi ang asawa, how would she tell him hindi naman niya matatago habang buhay ang pag bubuntis, if she's not wrong her tummy is almost 3 months her stomach is growing bigger and bigger everyday. Natatakot siya na baka kapag nalaman ng asawa na buntis siya Loki would go berserk and force her to do things she would never want.

"My Lady would you still want to stop by at the Mansion?"

Asia was about to refuse but then she nodded.

"Will you please, mag papaalam lang ako kay Loki."

Pietro nodded and drive their way to the Mansion. Nang maiparada ni Pietro ang sasakyan ay mabilis niyang tinanggal ang kanyang seatbelt.

"Sandali lang ako dito ka na lang."

Pietro gave her a nod so she hop off the car and went inside the Mansion. Agad niyang nakita si Leslie isa sa mga katulong.

"Nasaan si Loki?"

"Nasa office niya po ma'am."

Asia thank her before leading herself to Loki's office, it will be her first time in that room kaya't kinakabahan siya. Sa tagal na niyang nakatira sa mansion ay ngayon lang siya pupunta doon, Asia was about to knock when she saw the door slightly open. Itutulak na sana niya pabukas ang pinto ng marinig niya ang tinig ng asawa sa loob.

"I'm gonna hold her there for a while. I need to think."

"Think about what?"

Asia can't determine whose voice is that but then it hits her when she realize it was Luhence.

"You are just going to hurt her! Don't be a selfish bastard Loki."

"Don't question my decision Luhence! You didn't know how much I suffered!"

Luhence chuckled mockingly aalis na sana siya ngunit napansin niya ang babaeng nakatayo.

"Asia has nothing to do with any of this Loko, spare her heart and life."

Malakas na tumawa si Loki, she's not just innocent in his eyes.

"Your wife loves you, can't you just forget about the past and move on?"

Hindi alam ni Asia ang mararamdaman, ano ba ang meron? What is Loki's problem with her. She's confused.

"Forget? Her father killed my mother! They tortured her, she was like an animal that night! You should have seen her, I bet the word forgiveness won't even cross your mind."

"She doesn't even know her real father Loki, why her?"

"Because she's the only way, she is the bridge to Agustos Ivanov's down fall. If I have to kill her in front of him I will."

Agad na napahawak si Asia sa kanyang bibig sa lahat ng narinig, her eyes watered hanggang sa sunod sunod na ang naging pag bagsak ng luha sa kanyang mga mata.

"Is that why you marry her?"

Loki sighed and nodded.

"It was all my plan from the start. From getting her out of that club, holding her around her neck wrapping her around my finger, making her believe that I would change and love her, that's just disgusting. I would never love someone with a blood of murderer."

Mahigpit na napahawak si Asia sa door knob, she felt like everything was unreal like her world would eventually collapse. Ramdam niya ang panlalambot ng tuhod sa lahat ng narinig.

Her father killed Loki's mother? Gusto niyang ipag tanggol ang sarili niya sa asawa, but Loki's heart and mind is corrupted with rage, anger and revenge that he would even kill her if he had too. Nanginginig na hinaplos niya ang tiyan, so that is the reason why Loki didn't want to have a child with her. What could he possibly do if Loki would know that she's pregnant? Mariin niyang pinilig ang ulo, she composed herself wipe her face walk away. Kahit nanginginig ang kanyang tuhod ay pinilit niyang lumakad palayo, malayo sa asawa niya.

She's not safe anymore neither her child, if Loki would kill her she would also kill to make her baby safe.

"Are we going My Lady?"

Asia nodded and immediately hopped inside the car, ngunit sa backseat siya naupo.

"Mag drive ka kang Pietro don't mind me, Inaantok lang ako."

Pietro nodded and drive away.

----

Agad niyang ini lock ang pinto ng kanyang kuwarto, she sat on the bed and cried her heart out. Loki is just using her against her father, ang ama niya na ni minsan ay hindi niya nakilala. He was lashing out his anger to her and it was hurting her so bad, binaon niya ang mukha sa kama at doon umiyak.

Ang ama niya ay mamamatay tao? Kaya ba ganoon na lang din ang galit ng ina niya sa kanya? Asia holds her chest ramdam niya ang paninikip ng dibdib sa bawat minuto.

"My Lady, dinner is ready..." Wika ni Pietro mula sa labas ng pinto ngunit hindi niya ito pinansin.

Asia's heart and mind is in chaos, hindi siya makapag isip ng matino.
She wants to question her husband for all the pain he inflicted her, why? Bakit damay siya? She doesn't even know her own father, pinanganak siya na walang ni isang ala-ala sa ama.

"My lady?"

"Hindi ako gutom, please just... Just leave me alone."

Asia wipe her tears away but her tears kept on falling down her face. Parang hindi nauubos ang luha niya sa sakit at galit na nadarama, she's starting to feel rage inside her heart, why does she have to suffer to the things she clearly didn't do?

"Argh!" Malakas niyang sigaw at sinimulang ipag babato ang nga unan sa sahig. She's raging in anger, gusto niyang manakit ngunit pilit niyang kinalma ang sarili, hindi puwedeng malaman ni Loki na may alam siya. If he will knew that she knows something her life might be in danger.

"Kailangan kong umalis dito..." Umiiyak niyang wika. Buo na ang desisyon niya na tumakas sa lugar na iyon sa buhay ni Loki De Silva, whatever his plan is she will make sure to not let him use her.

Mabilis siyang tumayo at tumungo sa balcony, the door was unlocked. Hindi naman ganoon kataas ang kailangan niyang talunin ngunit dahil buntis siya ay hindi niya isasaalang alang ang buhay ng anak niya. Then her eyes darted to a the woden ladder, mukhang fire exit ito. Asia immediately climb down but then the door opened and Pietro came in.

"Lady Asia!" Sigaw nito Pietro run towards the balcony and saw her climbing down.

Sa takot ay mabilis siyang bumaba at tumakbo sa kakahuyan, ni walamg saplot ang kanyang mga paa. All she could think is to escape and save her baby's life, she won't let Loki hurt her or her baby again.
