Vince and I engaged in a spirited one-on-one taekwondo battle. Taekwondo had become my solace, my escape from the demanding office life that consumed my days. Vince, ever the supportive partner, indulged my passion with unwavering enthusiasm, his martial arts prowess only enhancing our connection. 

Suddenly, I craved for a true challenge. I longed for a serious fight that would push me to my limits and test my abilities like never before. I know, Vince shared the same desire, hidden behind his laid-back facade. 

"Babe,gusto ko ng totoong laban." napailing nalang si Vince, sisipain ko na sana pero nakailag agad siya. Wala namang thrill eh kung pagbibigyan niya ako palagi. 

 "Woah, chill there babe. Sige papayag ako pero sa isang kondisyon." 

"What condition?" ngumisi siya kaya napataas yung kilay ko. 

 "1 month kang hindi mag sha-shopping kapag ikaw ang natalo, kapag panalo ako I will give all my cards to you." nanlaki ang mata ko sa sinabi niya. There's no way na matatalo ako. Shopping is my life! 

"Ano, deal or no deal?" pero kapag nanalo naman ako, mapupunta daw sakin lahat ng cards niya. Edi unlimited shopping yun. 

"Okay, deal." As we began the match, the sound of feet striking against the mat echoed through the room. I moved with grace and precision, my movements fluid and calculated. Vince, usually reserved, unleashed a flurry of strikes that caught me off guard, gosh I don't wanna say goodbye to unli shopping. It was clear he wasn't holding back this time.Our spar evolved into a fierce of skill and strategy, we exchange more intense than the last. 

I felt a surge of exhilaration course through my veins – this was the challenge I had been seeking. With every block, kick, and punch, I pushed myself further, determined to show Vince the extent of my abilities.At isa pa, gustong kong patunayan sa kanya at sa lahat na hindi ako mahina. Kilala yung parents ko bilang malalakas na tao, narinig ko kasi dati pinag uusapan ako ng mga tao, na yung bunsong anak ng mga Thatcher ay mahina at nagpapaka damsel in distress. Of course, sabi ni Papa ako ang princessa ng pamilya namin, but it's not true na nagpapaka damsel in distress ako. Hawak ko yung ibang business namin, kahit na masyado pang maaga dahil bata pa ako. 

Now, I have 4 fashion company and may partnership kami ni Elara at Azaleia. Amidst the clash of kicks and strikes, our harmonious combat was abruptly fractured by the intrusive ring of Vince's phone. 

"Answer the call first, Babe" he nods and reach for his phone. Baka kasi importante eh. 

"It's Lothaire." my brother's name flashed across his screen, stirring a sense of urgency within Vince as he accepted the call, leaving me watch on with a mix of curiosity and concern.Pero naisip ko, ang epal talaga ni Kuya kahit kailan tsk tsk. Vince's expression shifted from stoic concentration to profound shock. 

 "What's wrong?" I inquired once Vince concluded the call, his silence unveiling a weighty revelation. 

"Let's go to the basement." he uttered gravely. 

 "Rainenian was found dead."
