Malakas na humagulgol ng iyak si Catalina habang nakatingin sa sugat ni Hugo. Hugo chuckled at her as she continued to cry so loud. Pinagtitinginan na sila ng nurse sa ward at hindi pa rin paawat ng iyak si Catalina."Babe, stop overreacting," Hugo chuckled at her."You nearly died!" She cried. "Tignan mo!" Tinuro niya ang sugat ni Hugo.Hugo took her hand and entwined their fingers. "Nadaplisan lang ako..."Catalina sobbed. "Masakit ba?" She asked innocently.Tumikhim si Hugo at umayos ng upo sa hospital bed at tumingin sa malayo. "Hindi."Marahang tinusok ni Catalina ang sugat ni Hugo na agad na nagpaaray sa kaniya sa sakit. Muling umiyak si Catalina dahil sa sugat ni Hugo."Babe..." Hugo called."Sabi kong 'wag magpapadaplis!" Singhal ni Catalina sa kaniya.Hugo just chuckled at her again. After the gun fight earlier and two vans exploding. Dumating rin ang mga tauhan nila. A little stKaugnay na kabanata

Chapter 55 Nakabusangot si Catalina habang nakatingin kay Hugo na nasa loob ng screen. She kept replaying the news where Hugo stated that Catalina and him have separated. Umirap si Catalina sa hangin at sinubo ang strawberry na isinawsaw nya sa peanut butter. Tumunog ang cellphone niya kaya kinuha niya 'yon at tinignan ang message galing kay Hugo. From: Hugo I miss you Catalina scoffed at him. "This a*shole." To: Hugo Akala ko ba separated na tayo? Napaawang ang labi ni Hugo sa nabasang reply ni Catalina. Mabilis siyang nagtipa ng reply. From: Hugo Babe, you suggested that! Umirap si Catalina. She took another strawberry from her bowl and dipped it in peanut butter. It's been two days and Josh hasn't made a move. Nakatira ngayon si Catalina sa bagong condo niya, she made sure that there was no bomb inside again. The thought of Josh annoyed her even more, she replied to Hugo.

Chapter 56 Catalina woke up in a strange room. The walls were painted white, her feet were tied to the bed by thick long chains. Malambot ang kama at parang hindi kidnapping ang nangyari sa kaniya, kumpleto ang kwarto, may banyo at may mga damit. Catalina was confused for a second but she knows where she is. Mabilis na napailingon si Catalina sa pintuan ng kwarto nang may pumasok doon. A man and a lady that she clearly recognizes. Pasimple siyang kinindatan ni Gianna bago nito nilagay ang tray sa lamesa sa kwarto ni Catalina at lumabas kasama ng lalaki. Catalina knew that Gianna can't simply come in without Josh's men. Nanliit ang mga mata ni Catalina sa nakasaradong pintuan. She quietly stood up and took the food on her table before checking if there was poison in it. Nang masiguro ni Catalina na walang lason ang pagkain ay agad siyang naupo sa lamesa at nagsimulang kumain. There was a window near the small dining table but it was built-in and Catalina was sure she'd make a noise.

Chapter 57Mabilis na gumalaw si Catalina para magpumiglas sa dalawang lalaki. They continued holding her wrist and attacked her with punches. Catalina flipped her body through the air as they let go of her wrists. Mabilis na sinipa ni Catalina ang leeg ng isang lalaki at tinuhod naman sa tiyan ang isa. Tumakbo si Catalina palabas ng kwarto pero agad rin siyang hinarang ulit.Binuhat nila si Catalina na parang sako ng bigas. Catalina used her elbow to hit the mans neck that made him drop on the floor, unconscious. Mabilis na tinapunan ng isa pang lalaki ng suntok si Catalina na agad tumama sa mukha niya. Catalina fell to the floor as she tasted the blood on her lips. Marahas niyang nilingon ang lalaki na ngayon ay nakalapit na sa kaniya at hinila na ang buhok niya. Mabilis na napatayo si Catalina nang hilahin siya ng lalaki."Hugo!" Catalina cried."Tumahimik ka!" Sinampal niya si Catalina.Akmang susuntukin naman siya ng isang lalaki sa tiyan nang mabilis na dumating si Gianna at bin

Chapter 58Maingat na iminulat ni Catalina ang mga mata. She saw Hugo beside her, sleeping soundly. Napangiti si Catalina nang abutin niya ang buhok ni Hugo at tinaggal 'yon sa pagkakatakip sa mukha niya."My man is handsome..." She whispered."Babe..." Hugo groaned and opened his eyes.Napangiti si Catalina nang isiksik ni Hugo ang mukha sa leeg niya."Bakit ka nandito?" Catalina asked."I couldn't sleep last night because I know you're here... So I slept here."Catalina massaged Hugo's nape. "Okay, sleep here..."Tumango lang si Hugo saka niyakap pa ng mahigpit si Catalina. She's still in dextrose and Hugo's acting like a baby. Ngumiti lang si Catalina saka muling pumikit."Babe?" Hugo called."Hmm?""I just want to tell you... Josh is in jail."Napadilat si Catalina. "Was he tortured?""Adamson took care of it."Napatango si Catalina. "Can we watch it?" She innocently asked."It's too brutal," Hugo said as he looked up at her.Ngumuso si Catalina. "Can you tell me then?"Tumango si

Chapter 59Saglit na lumabas si Hugo sa HOV para salubungin ang mga taong naghahanap raw sa kanila ni Catalina. Hugo frowned when he saw a familiar lawyer beside Katrina, who were both standing by the entrance."Anong kailangan mo?" Hugo asked him.Naglabas ng papel ang lalaki at inabot 'yon kay Hugo. "Mr. Ruiz, I'm attorney Fidel Meier. This is your father's last will."Kumunot ang noo ni Hugo. "Last will? Buhay pa si daddy, he's resting—""Sorry to break this to you, Mr. Ruiz, pero binawian ho ng buhay ang ama niyo kagabi."Hugo blinked twice before he shook his head. "This is not a good joke, my father is healthy!"Huminga ng malalim si Fidel. "Someone told your father about your wife's condition and it caused him a heart attack. Mr. Ruiz, sa papel na 'yan nakasulat lahat ng ipapamana niya sa inyong magkapatid at sa ina mo. Your mother is grieving pero sabi niya 'wag ka nang abalahin. But your father asked me to bring this to you the moment I find

Chapter 6020 years ago, Catalina was having a family dinner. They were complete, and happy. Sa murang edad namulat siya sa kahulugan ng tunay na pagmamahal. Sa murang edad naniwala siya na ito ang kasagutan sa lahat ng problema. What she didn't know was that love requires lots and losts of communication, arguments, misunderstandings, regrets, and trust. She never really understood what costs love until she saw how her mother jumped in front of her father to take the bullet.Life wasn't meaningful to Catalina before. Pero tuwing nakikita ni Catalina ang mga kapatid niyang masaya, lagi siyang nagkakaroon ng pag-asa na magpatuloy sa buhay.

Chapter 61"Wake up, babe..." Mariing pumikit si Hugo nang halikan niya ang kamay ni Catalina. "I beg you, Catalina... It's been five years... Wake up already..."Hugo was still hoping she'd wake up one day. Hugo wanted to tell Catalina how she safely delivered their twins through C-Section, how their twins were incubated, how they grew up with respect, how they learned to defend themselves. Tumulo ang mainit na luha ni Hugo pero mabilis niya ring pinalis 'yon nang marinig niya ang. pagbukas ng pinto."Dada..."

Chapter 62 Manghang nagtatatalon sina Severus at Catharina sa top deck ng yacht nang makaakyat sila. Hugo wrapped his arms around Catalina and hugged her from behind, placing his chin between her neck and shoulder. Napangiti si Catalina nang naramdaman niya ang labi ni Hugo sa balikat niya."Dada, it's pretty here!" Masiglang sabi ni Catharina.Catalina smiled at her daughter. Lumapit si Catharina sa ina at nagpabuhat dito kaya naman binitawan na ni Hugo si Catalina. Severus pouted at Catharina and his mom before he asked his dada to lift him up too."Mukhang mahihirapan akong makascore nito..." Pasimpleng buling ni Hugo kay Catalina.Pasimpleng siniko ni Catalina ang tagiliran ni Hugo dahilan ng pagngiwi niya. Catalina just recovered from her conscious state.
