Two Weeks LaterOn the bed of a spacious ward in a hospital, a fragile looking young woman in her early twenties, was lying eyes closed. She had a slender gorgeous body even with the white hospital gown on her and a bit curvy. Her white skin looked extremely pale against the white hospital gown with her auburn hair flowing all over her petite face that seemed to be drained of all colors.Ariana tried to open her eyes but the sharp light that penetrated it made her close it once more. She tried again. This time, she slowly opened them and finally adjusted to its brightness. Just when she thought she could stand up, she felt something sharp. "Arrrrrrggg!" She cried out in pain, her emerald green eyes shutting tightly once again. Ariana felt pain on her stomach and head. She touched her head and saw it was bandaged. Feeling confused, she pondered in her mind what had happened to her. She glanced around where she was and noticed she was in a room that looked like a hospital.Images of
She wasn't going to let anyone touch her baby! Ariana continued glaring at everyone and anyone that comes close to her."Where is Rex? Rex, they are going to kill our baby!" She said, screaming loudly.Vincenzo Alberto, watched as the girl went hysterical at the loss of her baby. He sighed wondering why it has to be her. Just when he had finally found a solution to his sickness, this had to happen. He felt pity for her and wanted to help her. It wasn't just because she was the cure to his illness but because he knows the pain of losing someone.He had lost someone too.Pulling himself together, he squinted his eyes as he walked closer to the girl. She was looking at him fiercely as if she would tear him out anytime."Just because your baby is gone doesn't mean you have to kill yourself. Get a grip of your emotions," Vincenzo said, drawing closer to her."Who are you to tell me that? Don't you dare tell me I lost my child! My baby is still here! Get away from me! I need to see Rex!"
"What do you mean by that, Sir?" Shirley asked, frowning deeper."I just want to tell you that I know you and I will never hurt your friend. I am her boss. Do you think I will harm my employee?"Vincenzo asked.Shirley knew that he was telling the truth but wasn't too much for a boss to be doing? She was just confused about why he was being so kind to Ariana." I know you are her boss but doesn't it make it look weird? I mean which boss would go through all these hassles just for a flimsy employee?" Shirley asked." I don't have to explain to you my reasons for helping your friend, young lady," Vincenzo said, getting pissed.His gaze was filled with anger and Shirley thought she was going to burn in his fury. She immediately shut her mouth as she lowered her gaze. She knew she was threading on dangerous grounds when she started asking questions."Anything else?" Vincenzo asked, calming his emotions."N-no, I… don't have any more questions as long as you promise you won't harm my friend

The couple were filled with embarrassment at the ongoing event. Especially Vera, who never expected Ariana to make such a fuss on her big day.She had thought she finally got rid of Ariana and was expecting her to be wallowing in physical and emotional pains. Well, she was emotionally feeling pained but that doesn't mean she would disgrace her in the process.On her wedding day! Vera had insisted that they get married in a grand style. Fortunately for them, Rex's parents had forgiven him and told him to come back with their daughter-in-law.She was very excited and couldn't wait for the reception to be over.

"How could he do this to me? I loved him more than my life! I did everything for him. I sacrificed all I had for him!""You bastard! Rex, I will never forgive you! You are an asshole! I hate you!""Please, this should just be a dream!" Ariana kept mumbling as she walked ahead without looking anywhere else. She couldn't hear the honking of the cars as she walked blindly towards the busy road. The only thing echoing through her head was the memories of the past two months with that jerk and the voices of the traitors! She wondered if all those five years meant absolutely nothing to him. How could he change so fast? How could he plan an accident for her just because he wanted to get married to Vera? She was pregnant with his child!Ariana broke out in loud sobs as she kept walking towards the busy road. "Why the fuck am I still alive?" It would be better if she just died that instant. It would be better if she had died alongside her child. At least, she would die with the feelings th
It's been a few hours since Ariana and her boss, Vincenzo left the hospital. Sheila didn't know exactly where they were going but she knew they were going to meet that bastard, Rex.But it's been too long and Sheila was beginning to feel anxious. She was worried about Ariana and prays everything works out for good. Sheila kept pacing around the hospital waiting for her. She wondered what state Ariana must be in at the moment. She wondered if she should call her.After another ten minutes, she decided to call Ariana but the phone kept ringing without an answer. Maybe she wasn't with her phone. Taking a deep breath, she decided to call Vincenzo.After just one ring, he picked it up but there was no words from him."Mr. Vincenzo, can I please speak with my friend?" Sheila asked, sounding anxious."She just left in a cab without her bag," he simply said."What! How could you… sorry, Mr. Vincenzo but do you perhaps know where she would be headed to?" Sheila asked, holding back her anger.
Ariana took a cab to her office and arrived earlier than everyone else. She went straight to her desk so she could start working on the files on her desk.One hour later, her co-workers came to the office too and were surprised to see her working very hard. They all heard that she was hospitalized but no one knows why."Ariana, I heard you are not too fine. I hope you are better now?" One of them asked.Without raising her head, she simply answered," Yes. I am much better""Are you supposed to be working so hard after being discharged?""I think Ria is right, Ariana. You are supposed to be resting and doing minor jobs" another chipped in." And you guys are supposed to be working instead of lazing around with talks that don't concern you," She retorted, still typing away in her computer." You don't have to be rude!" The first girl said, getting angry at the way Ariana was talking to them." You don't have to care about me either! If you are pained, leave me alone!" Ariana retorted ag
