MY heart was racing. I am scared but I know I shouldn't be. I have to be strong, for my child.

"You're here," I said as I kept my cool, glancing at the mirror in front of me.

"You think you can escape from me like that?" Mapang-uyam niyang sabi.

"Not at all," I shrugged. "I just wondered what took you so long. Lost resources, probably?"

I saw how irritated she was when she saw my relaxed expression.

"We're alone here, akala mo makakatakas ka ng gano'n na lang?" she mocked.

I noticed the difference in her stature, or maybe because her weight dropped. Even her eyes were bloodshot.

"Oh, you thought you could escape this again?" I asked, secretly slipping my hand on my phone to speed dial.

"Wala tayo rito, Polaris, kung hindi mo kinuha sa 'kin si Caspian! Your father stole from us! You stole everything from me! Dapat 'di ka na nabuhay!"

"I did?" My lip twitched. "First of all, to set the record straight, you framed my father up so you could get to me. Second, you cheated on Caspian. Third and most of all, he wasn't even in love with you in the first place–but he does fall for me. Wala akong inagaw dahil una pa lang, akin na siya."

Rage fueled in her eyes.

"H'wag kang magpanggap na inosente, Polaris! You fucked Claude too–"

"I do?" I shot my brow up. "Or you two set this all up to fabricate the story?"

Natigilan siya. "Caspian knew what you did to us. If he's in love with you, even you successfully rid of me, bakit wala pa rin siya sa 'yo ngayon?"

It fueled her anger.

"Bitch!" She attacked me, raising her hand to slap me but I was quick to evade it, gripped her hand, and slapped her hard across the face. Napaatras siya at napahawak sa pisngi.

I knew it hurt because my palm stung.

"How dare you!"

"How dare me?" I stepped forward. "No. How dare you! You ruined our lives! You killed my child!"

She screamed and attacked me. She successfully got a handful of my hair and I do, too. I gripped her hair too and pulled it twice as hard until she was screaming.

"Mang-aagaw ka!" Sigaw niya.

"Mamatay-tao!" sigaw ko pabalik.

I evaded her claws from scratching my skin, pulling her hair but to my shock, she kicked my leg so hard I lost my balance.

Nabitawan ko siya. I did my best not to fall in a vulnerable position and she used it as her chance to overpower me.

"I will kill you! You bitch! Mang-aagaw!" She screamed.

I grunted when my hips hurt but I did my best to cover my stomach from her.

Hope blossomed when I heard a loud thud from the door. Cheska's eyes sharpened.

"Shit!" She glanced at the door, distracted and I used it as a chance to push her off me.

She instantly recovered and reached me again, scratching.

"Fuck you! Hindi ka pa mamatay-matay!" Histerikal niyang sigaw. "I will make sure to kill you! Caspian is mine! Mine!"

It frustrated her more when she couldn't get closer to me again as I kicked her off me, doing everything in my power.
