Anastasia was watching how Francisco get frantic. She could see the obsession and frustration in his eyes. He's telling his men to search for her. But it was just a show. Inside the tinted car, Anastasia raise a cold champagne while her father was holding a glass of tea instead.

"Good job, Ana." Ezekiel said.

"I want him to go crazy until he lose himself. Then slowly—I have to see how he will get tortured." Anastasia said. Her voice was dangerous and like Sabrina—her voice was beautiful no matter the tune of her voice.

"Janine is back to the Alvarez Mansion." Ezekiel said. Anastasia's eyes darkens.

"I don't want her to ever step a foot in that mansion." She mutter her eyes fierce and full of hatred.

"Ferdinand put the mansion under Enzo and Catriona." He said. Ezekiel hate the thought that Enzo wanted to marry Catriona. Francisco's blood runs through her veins and he detest every person connected to him.

"Francisco isn't her father. She raise herself alone and she's independent. It's alright that Enzo fall for her. Besides, they have children, so dad. Please—no more killing. Catriona is innocent and she never did something bad to us."

Ezekiel remain quiet. When she found out that Ezekiel arrange assassins to kill Catriona—she got mad at him but when she learnt that she's safe and pregnant—her hatred lessen. At least he won't kill Catriona for now. But she will protect Catriona for her son. Her son would be in a great pain if he lost the love of his life.

Sabrina got up and found a Spongebob sweater. The one she bought when she found it cute. It was oversize and a great size for her darling. She found Gabriel typing on his keyboard and she showed it to him. Gabriel only glance at it and look back at his laptop.

"What is it love?"

"Put this on." She said cheerfully.

"No." He replied monotonously. Sabrina's lips wobble.

"Gabby, put this on." Her voice break yet Gabriel still said no. He won't wear such a silly sweater. Besides it's too hot inside the room and he's wearing a t-shirt.

"Brina… I am busy. I am in the middle of a meeting…" He mutter as he type furiously on his laptop.

Sabrina was quiet and suddenly, Gabriel frown when he heard a sniffle and sobbing. Sabrina started crying and then she ran off.

"Brina!" He calls. She lock herself in the dressing room and started crying there. Like an immature teenager would do. She's crying all by herself. "Oh, fuck." She's too weird this day. He took the key to the walk in closet and open it. He found her at the corner crying like she has been lost. She looks so adorable though his heart ache. "Baby…." He said in honeyed voice.

"It's okay if you don't want to be with me…" She hiccup. "I—I won't bother you again…" She whimpers.

Gabriel drop his shoulders and stand in front of her. Then he took the sweater. He remove his shirt and put it on. It's a little wet from her tears. He wipe off her tears with the t-shirt that he took off and caress her hair.

"Don't cry okay?" She nodded. He took her outside the walk-in closet and fetch her a glass of water. She stop crying and yet she's still pouting. "I already put it on. Are you happy now?" she nodded. She wrapped her arms on his arms and hugged it like a koala hanging on the branch of a tree. "I have to work."

"I want to cuddle." She mutter and look up at him with those puppy eyes. He exhales. She's been weird lately.

She keep singing in the recording studio in the other room and water the flowers. Then she ate weird stuffs… like pizza dipping it in a lot of ketchup then the mango and the shrimp paste. She ate a lot of it. She would then bother him with lots of things. she will suddenly blurt to him that she want him to strip and make love to her.

There are other stuffs that makes her weird. He understand that its because of hormones but Sabrina? Really?

Sabrina clung into his arm while he's reading some documents. Then she went back to bed bringing the big panda bear that they bought and hug it clinging into the arm of it. He hate that panda. It occupies half of the bed leaving him no space to sleep. She like hugging it more than she like hugging him.

He remove his sweater and put on another shirt as he attends a live conference meeting. Oliver was on the other line taking note. Once he's done, he call his men and told them they found Francisco in Davao he want to capture him but a footage made him stop. He was looking for a woman in a dress and lots of women appear with the same dress.

It was weird. Francisco was getting frantic. He had thought and then think of a woman coming out from Sabrina's room back in the US when she was admitted in EPUA facility. It didn't show her face but her back was slender yet curvy then when she turn around to the camera a man block her or them to avoid seeing her.

Gabriel look at his wife. Sabrina found out something that her grandfather is keeping, hiding from the world. What if—it's the woman who also makes Sabrina suffer for years? Is it possible? If it was Ezekiel Mondragon then there's nothing impossible for him.

"Find out who that woman is. I think she's the one making Francisco crazy. I want to see him become that obsessed. Don't capture him yet… we have to see how Ezekiel would play."

"Roger that boss."

Veronica open her eyes. Her mouth is dry and around was white and the sound of beeping machine was the first thing she heard followed by the pumping of oxygen. She feels that someone is watching her. She saw Tony standing by the glass outside the room. Then it opens as Tony put on the hospital dress. He then face Veronica and reach her hand.

"You—you lost weight." She murmur in a hoarse voice. "Why aren't you taking care of yourself? Do you want me to take care of you instead of you to take care of me? How could you take care of me then if you are sick like me?" She ask though it was hard for her to talk.

"Shh, I will be healthy soon. So you should be too." He squeeze her hand lightly. "I have been eating and sleeping well. I will talk to your grandpa so we could settle a date for our wedding after you recover."

"Did you make the cure?"

"I make it with Sam."

"Thank you, Tony." She smile bitterly.

"You don't have to thank me. I am your husband. My duty is to protect and save my queen. So be strong okay? Then after you get discharge I will surely take care of you. Feed you, bath you, massage you and even help you with your therapy."

"Tony…"

"I love you." He mutter and kisses her hand. Veronica smile slightly.

"I love you, Tony."

"How's Sabrina?"

"You don't have to worry over others. They are fine." He kiss her forehead.
