"What? Why?"

I told him about my plan to leave Manila and stay in our mansion in Ilocos. No one knows about that place, only the two of us. Which is why, I am sure that no one else not even my parents can know that I'm there.

"I need your guards. You can help me, right?"

"Tria, it's hard to be pregnant and-"

"Just help me okay? I need this. I need to get away from here."

I sat at his couch, tired of everything. I just wanted to rest. He sat at the couch across from me. He seemed a little bit hesitant.

"You won't even tell him that you're pregnant?" he asked.

Umiling ako. "I think it's better like this."

He sighed, "You do know you're doing what he did to you. Except that, you are technically three now, instead of one person."

I looked at him and raised a brow. My hand went to my tummy caressing it.

"I am a poison to him, Jasper. It's true that I can destroy him. Ako ang sisira sa kanya. Having me in his life will do him no good. Kung nagawa kong saktan siya dati, who knows I could do that again. At ayoko na gawin 'yun. I love him too much to do that to him."

"You're doing this because some girl talked to you about it? Unbelievable," he said. "With what you're doing right now, you're already hurting him."

I nodded. I know that, but this is the only way I know how. The only way for him to be happy without me.

"Yes, but he'll find a better girl than me."

Jasper scoffed, "It doesn't work that way, Tria. You are the one he loves. He probably chose to love you even if it's hurting him, because that's what his heart is telling him.He won't just find another woman that easily, just because you are away now. I am sure he would and would find you."

I swallowed. I also thought about that. There's a high possibility that he would try and find me. I know the Montereals. They have great power and it would be hard for me to hide. That's why I thought of Jasper. He could help me with this.

"That's why I came to you for help. You are the only one I know who can help me this. Everyone I know is associated with him. He would know where I am," I told him.

Bigla akong nakaramdam ng gutom. I caressed my tummy, gutom na siguro silang dalawa. Kanina pa kase akong tanghali nakakain. "All of this is making me hungry," I said.

He made one of his maids come and ordered to them to get food. The maid nodded and ran towards the others to prepare food.

"When do you want to leave?"

I looked at him. "After I eat?"

Kumunot ang noo niya. "Ayaw mo bukas?"

Umiling ako. "Trent would know where I am, if I'll do it tomorrow. I'll do it tonight so they wouldn't notice."

He nodded and sighed.

"Look, I can only help you to get there, without being tracked by Montereals, but when you're there. You're on your own. I can't stop it if ever they manage to find you. I would just assign guards to guard you, instead."

I nodded. "That's good enough for me."

After eating so much, I rested for awhile in his living room. He said, we have to wait for the chopper. I also noticed he's been calling a lot of people. This is what a CEO does, huh? After resting, we went to the helipad upstairs. Jasper told me this is the best way he thought of.
