Yesterday ticked past as supposed. Kayla carried on the unending emotions that lived on like the air through which she breathed. Given she lived with Anthony, she tied her emotions under the disguise of a mellowed-out appearance, just so she didn't earn questions from him. Even so, she couldn't beat down the emotions each time she crossed paths with him. Her eyes stung like her feelings, and her bedroom beckoned on her to come and cry her soul out. Fear, remorse, sorrow, and self-loath—still clung to her. Yet, the question ‘how did he survive’ never lost its grip on her.A new day, the same emotions, but different plans. It was finally Giovanni's hearing in the Court of Appeal. The day Kayla believed would set a boundary between Corey and her. As if Calvin Giovanni's lawyers were Gregorio’s curse, the man lost again in the Court of Appeal. Thanks to God, Gregorio didn't decide to carry the case forward, which meant the boundary between Corey and her had been set. No more Corey, nor hi

Having Irene's words at the back of her mind, Kayla drove down to KR. Given she didn't know her way around, a staff led her to the conference room and left her at the door with her anxiousness. The door was locked, but that wasn't a problem as Irene had given her a passcode to enter. Her fear and doubt were the problems. Puffing, she input the code. The door slid open. Soon as she stepped in, the room went quiet. All eyes were on her, which worsened her fear and discouragement. Her eyes ran nervously around the room, she could see familiar faces already.It was quite a massive conference room made of high technology. A round table with a large space in between settled in the middle. Sat around the table were about fifty prominent and prestigious members of KR, Ates Banks sitting as the head of them. Everyone with their stern expression nearly had Kayla leaving, but she muscled courage and stood still.“What brings you here, fairy?” a young man asked.Fairy. Was that a name he usually

Kayla would never give up on pleading for Anthony's forgiveness. She could take anything he gave as a punishment for her misdeeds. She could go through all he'd put her through, only with the hope that one day, things would be better between them.A week and four days breezed past. Life had been anything beyond miserable for her. What hadn't she done to make him soften his heart and get over vengeance? She'd done something even beyond her capability, endured his maltreatment without a word, and done everything she could to please him. Was there something she forgot to do? What hadn't she said? How hadn't she pleaded and begged? All she got in return for her efforts was pain, hatred, condemnation of her efforts, humiliation, and emotional torture that made her cry and worry each passing day.Sometimes she stayed up at night, and sometimes in the daytime, thinking if she should give up and save her baby the pain. As if he got worse with each day. Anthony gave her no little tint of hope

Kayla drove to the hospital. She parked in the lot and hastened into the building, struggling to keep her tears at bay. Throughout her stay in Qynville, it had been all about sadness and tears. Again, how possible did Anthony think it would be to divorce her after everything she'd been through with him? Now that she needed him as both the man she fell in love with and Clinton, he wanted to divorce her. As soon as Nora opened the door to her office, Kayla rushed in and hugged Nora, who stood near the door. She cried her heart out in Nora's arms.“Anthony wants to get a divorce. I'm scared, Nora. I'm really scared, I don't want to leave him.”“Hey, sweetie, relax. I know it's not easy, but I need you to calm down.” Nora crooned, helping Kayla take a seat. She squatted before Kayla and took her hands. “Did you sign the papers?”“How could I, Nora? After everything I've been through with him? Now that I want him the most? I can't. My efforts can't be futile, and my baby needs her father.”

“Kayla?” Nora streaked to the bathroom and opened the door. Kayla wasn't there, either. Now panicking, she ran off the room, looking into other patient rooms as she was heading to the lobby, hoping to see Kayla in one of the rooms. She met the receptionists. “Excuse me. Did you see a lady in a carnation pink dress leave the building?” “No, ma'am,” the first lady answered. “I did,” the second lady behind the first lady said. “I saw her leave.”Where did she go? Nora fell in total frustration and disarray. She ran out of the building, looking here and there, questioning the people she saw around. Nobody seemed to have caught sight of Kayla. Nora's hands instinctively went up and rested on her head, her eyes stinging with tears. Worry contorted her face as she turned around. Where in the world had Kayla run off to?Her phone rang. Dominic was calling. Nora didn't pick up, she rather ran to the parking, where she found Dominic stepping out of his car with the bags he bought.“You don't
