Antonio stood still, like he was lost in darkness. He felt the old weight press against his chest. The same weight he'd carried for years, the kind that hollowed his ribs and every breath into a reminder.

He had learned long ago that silence was safer than truth. If he stayed calm, if he stayed unreadable, then maybe the cracks in his world wouldn't show. Maybe Zade wouldn't know what it feels like to be shattered.

Even when Zade kept pushing earlier, he couldn't dare to speak. But every accusation was a reminder of the promises he had failed to keep. To protect their mother, to shield his brother.

Antonio’s chest tightened, not out of anger, but out of grief, and guilt of knowing he could never give Zade the answers he wanted.

Maybe what Zade believes right now is for the best.

Antonio thought to himself. He clenched his fists, holding it all in. If he faltered, if he gave in, the truth would slip. And that he couldn't afford. Not now. Not ever. He would rather be hated.

    “ Here.” Antonio handed her a bottle of water with the cap taken off. “ Thanks,” Eloise mumbled as she took it from him. Antonio’s gaze remains fixed on her; she's been hanging her head since the explosion. Even when Oliver was asking how she knew, she didn't utter a word. He had to step in by taking her out of the area and telling Oliver to go home that he'd get back to him. He took his seat beside her. “ Are you feeling better now?” He asked after she drank a little. She nodded. A second of silence followed. “ Do you want to talk about it? About what happened earlier.” Eloise’s breath slowed. “ You won't believe me.” “ You can't be sure.” “ I am sure. Everything will seem so absurd and impossible to you.” “Well, isn't that explosion evidence already? That you're telling the truth.” She looked at him, hesitating. “ I came back in time.” Another second of silence followed. “ What do you mean?” She swallowed, looking away from him. Her fist clenched against her the bott

    “ They're not picking, both of them are not..” “ Keep trying, please keep trying?” Eloise cut in desperately, her body shaking as she kept looking out of the window. “ Can you please tell me what's going on?” Laera asked, panicking. “ You're scaring me real bad.” “ What's going on is that the two of them are in danger.” She choked on, hitting her finger. ‘ How could I not have known this since the beginning? It was so clear; the dream has always been about him.’ Her finger trembled as she thought in her mind. “ We're here.” The driver arrived just then. She bolted out of the car the instant the driver pulled into the parking spot. Hearing Laera's shout and call behind her. She scurried through the port, her heart racing faster than her legs, but before she could get any closer, she was stopped by the security. They eyed her from head to toe with their face twisted. Her being in a hospital gown and barefoot made one of them start calling the medical centers. “ How may we help

    Eloise winced as she stirred awake. Some part of her body feels weak and painful. As she slowly fell into consciousness, she felt the warmth from her hand. Someone was holding her, tight and firm like they were afraid she'd slip away. She slowly opened her eyes in that direction. “ El?” She heard his voice full of worry. “ Antonio.” She called his name weakly. “ Yes, yes, baby, I'm here.” Her eyes opened fully to see his face twisted with worry. His brow was furrowed. His hair was all messy. His face was pale and full of exhaustion. It made her heart ache. She looked around to figure out where they were. “ You're in the hospital, let me get the doctor.” Antonio quickly got on his feet but she held him. “ I'm okay.” She smiled softly. He sat back on the chair beside the bed, placed his head on her hand, and struggled to swallow down through his dry throat. “ I'm sorry.” He muttered, “ I'm so sorry I was late.” She forced herself to turn to his direction and rubbed his

    “ Things are not good at all, Shawn. No one wants to lose the project, and we all know Antonio as a man of his word,” Vale said to Shawn over the phone. “ What are you saying, once Zade becomes the CEO, he'd have the power to keep the contract signed.” Shawn tried to convince. “ That's the problem, no one trusts Zade's capability, he's never handled any business or company before.” “ So are you saying I give up?” “ What I'm saying is, you can't dispose of Antonio being the CEO.” Shawn gritted his teeth before hanging up the phone. He shouted in rage and smashed the glass cup of wine in his hand against the wall. “ I've done everything! Why can't I defeat him, why!?” He yelled. Still fuming, his phone buzzed with a call. He glanced at the screen to see Dayse's name and ignored it. The phone kept buzzing, and after the third time she called, he got frustrated and picked it up. “ Hey baby, I've been calling you..” “ What do you want?” He yelled over the phone. “ He

    “ Stop!” Laera screamed. “ Please, I'm begging you, Jeremy, with everything you believe in, please don't do it. I swear I'd love you, no, I love you, you're the only one for me please don't hurt her.” She cried desperately. Eloise trembled as she felt the sharp knife cut her flesh a little. Her body shook with fear, and tears gathered in her eyes. ‘ Antonio. Antonio where are you?’ she cried in her mind. “ Why do I feel like you love her more than you love me?” Jeremy muttered sadly. “ Look at you crying out your eyes for your friend and saying things you don't mean. It really makes me want to kill her.” He grabbed Eloise's hair tighter. “ No, no, no, that's not the reason. I swear.” “ Then what's the reason?” “ Because I'm worried about you,” Laera said. He chuckled. “ Worried about me?” She nodded. “ Yes, because her husband is a crazy man. There's nothing he's not capable of, he's insane.” “ I'm also capable of anything.” “ Not like Antonio, he'd kill you, Jeremy. I don

    “ No, please, Elly doesn't know anything about this, going out with Oliver was my decision.” “ No, it wasn't.” Jeremy shook his head, panting. “ I swear it was, Elly didn't even know until recently that I'm seeing him. It was my decision to sleep with him.” “ Don't lie to me!” He yelled. “ You'd never do that to me, you wouldn't betray me.” Eloise choked out a laugh. “ Elly,” Laera called in relief. Eloise managed to move, but every part of her body aches with pain. She groaned, chuckled as she sat up with her hands and legs still tied. She looked up at Jeremy with fire in her eyes. “ You can't even accept the truth?” She asked with a mocking smirk. “ Stop, don't provoke him.” Laera pleaded. Jeremy's nose flared, his eyes blazed with anger at Eloise. “ You think killing me would make her start loving you or what?” Eloise asked, glancing at the knife as if daring him to do it. “ You just don't shut up, do you?” “ No.” She shook her head grinning. She tasted iron on her
