Mary's bloody form barreled through people as she ran towards Leo's room. When they saw the bloody lady, they jumped out of her way. With trembling hands, she tried to call Leo's phone but he wasn't answering. Dialling her mother's number, she was glad Sheryl answered on the second ring.

"Yes, Mary? Nandito ako sa cafeteria, pinasundan ka ni Leo kasi ang tagal mo daw, nasaan ka n-" Mary cut off her mom.

"Mom, umalis ka?! Fuck!" Mary cursed as she bumped someone that caused her wound to sting.

"Mary. Stop cursing. Bakit ba?" Sheryl asked.

"M-Marco is here! He's on his way to Leo!" Mary cried.

"W-What?!" Sheryl gasped.

"P-Please hurry. Get to his room please ma" Mary only said before putting her phone down.

Leo's room was on the third floor. Mary didn't take the elevator because there was a line so she had to run in the stairs with a wound slowing her movements.

Finally making it to the third floor, she dashed towards Leo' room in a hurry as nurses widened their eyes when they saw her.

As Mary ran, she saw that Leo's room door was wide open so she pushed herself faster until she barreled towards the door.

Leo was on the floor staring at Marco as Marco pointed a gun at him. Clutching her purse harder and swallowing the pain, Mary tried to speak.

"M-Marco. Please. P-Put the gun down" She said pleadingly.

At Mary's voice, Marco turned his head to Mary and widened his eyes when he saw she was wounded.

"Stupid bitch. I told her not to hurt you" Marco muttered as he rolled his eyes.

Leo's eyes found themselves to Mary. When he saw her wound on her shoulder, his eyes pained.

"Mary. Are you okay?" Leo asked worriedly from the floor.

"It's fine. I'll live" Mary assured her fiancé.

"Yes, Leo. She'll live. You, not so much" Marco said as he looked between them. He tilted his gun once again and pointed to Leo which made Mary's eyes widened.

"Marco please stop! You don't know what you're doing" Mary inched towards Marco but he saw it so he pointed the gun at Mary.

"Step one more closer and I'll paint the walls with your blood" he warned at her.

"Mary!" Leo shouted at her.

"Why are you doing this, Marco? Hindi pa ba sapat na pinatay mo si tita Avril for your revenge?" Mary frowned.

At this, Marco laughed which made Mary's eyes turn into confusion.

"So yun ang akala mo?" Marco asked while grinning.

"A-Ano pa ba? You're the only one who has a motive to kill her" Mary muttered.

"My, my. Napaka guillable mo talaga, little Mary" Marco tsked at her.

Once more, he pointed his gun to Leo's form and cocked his gun. Leo held his hands up but he knew it was hopeless.

"I'll finally have my revenge for what you did to me" Marco growled at Leo.

"Marco! Lumayo ka sa kaniya please!" Mary shouted behind his back but he ignored her.

"He isn't good for you anyway. You met Grace, right? You know how Leo over here abused his ex until she got sent in a hospital and became mentally scared?" Marco said while staring at Leo's eyes.

"That doesn't matter. Ten years ago pa yun and Leo's a changed man" Mary pleaded.

"Changed? Please" Marco scoffed.

"Don't worry, Mary. You'll be thankful when this is all over.." Marco mumbled as he positioned his finger and got ready to shoot. Leo closed his eyes tight as he braced himself for what's coming.

"No!" Mary shouted.

A gunshot rang in the air.

Leo winced but didn't feel any wound on his body. He confirmed this when he roamed his eyes over his form but didn't see any blood. Then he looked up and saw Marco's white polo slowly turning red from the blood seeping out of his chest.

He clutched at his wound as the gun from his hand fell to the floor before he slumped all together.

Behind Marco's back, Mary was standing and trembling as tears fell from her eyes with the gun Leo got her, positioned in her hands. Her purse was on the floor, the zipper opened widely as Leo gaped at her.

In a second, Leo went over Marco's body and held Mary's trembling form in his chest, ignoring the blood from her shoulders sticking to his lab gown. Her sobs and cried resounded as guards and Sheryl arrived at Leo's room.

Leo slowly removed the gun from Mary's hand as she continued to cry to her fiancé. Looking at Marco's body being dragged out of the door, Leo breathed deeply.

It was finally over.
