Ethan has been updating recently on their Elite Red Room. Their income rocketed than the past few years. The suppliers of drink shouldn"t be delayed all the time so he oriented the managers that he hired to keep it always on track and double the supply of their drinks. Their idea on Elite Red Room was all because of Sabrina and Enzo. Credits to them."You are still working." Aria peek from the door of his study. He glance at the clock and it is past midnight.
"You hungry?" He closes his laptop and stand up ready to prepare her foods.
"Hmm." He strode toward her and a.s.sist her in getting back to their room. Her stomach is big now and it"s been five months. The time is fast and he would see their baby in four more months. "You"ve been working late every night. Isn"t the company stable?" He pull a chair for her and she slowly sat down.
"The company is doing great. I am monitoring other businesses."
"What do you want to eat?"
"Anything."
He rummage on their fridge and prepare four layers of pizza sandwich. It only took him ten minutes to heat it and he prepare two gla.s.ses of milk. Once the oven rings, he pull out the sandwich and cut it in the middle.
He put it in front of her and he sat down beside her.
"How are you doing these days?"
"My back keeps hurting."
"You need more calcium." He kisses her temple as he rubbed her round stomach. "Aren"t they triplets?" He suddenly asked. "You"ll never know." She took the half sandwich that is bigger than her hand and started eating. "You should eat too." She munch and he just love watching her eat.
"I think it is more than one baby inside." He finally concluded as he eat as well.
"I am nervous." She exhales and caress her stomach.
"I know that it is hard, baby. But I will always be here with you. You can do it." He cheer her up. "You should eat more…" He kisses her temple.
Ethan never comes home late since her pregnancy starts. Rather, He will have to take his work home so he can monitor her at the same time. It"s been quiet for three whole months and everything are stable. He wonder what their enemy is plotting this time. But while a certain someone is plotting, he knew that his sister have lots of plot on her sleeve. Yet, he was still worried and he thought to himself that he"s a stupid brother.
How could he never guessed on what makes their sister this vicious? What happened back then? Only his sister know and only Janine and the man behind her knows. As he coaxed his wife to sleep, he was in daze as he recall the day they found Sabrina.
She"s all wet from the ocean and once she woke up, she was staring at nowhere. She was quiet and no one could make her talk not even the investigators and the police. They all thought she was going to kill herself when they found their mother"s dead body and half burnt.
She remain standing by the altar of their mother"s ashes for the five whole hours. Not talking nor crying. At that time, Enzo and Ethan could feel the dark aura from their sister like she"s been possessed. But neither of them talk about it. It was a whole new Sabrina that change overnight.
He could feel the pain from Sabrina but what he felt wasn"t enough to know what Sabrina had in mind. They were tortured for a week and he was a useless brother for not taking care of her and for not rescuing her and their mother.
"Sabrina, what happened?" he utter and then he look down at his wife. Soon, he will be a father and he will not let what happened to their mother and sister, happen to his wife. Twice is enough and history wouldn"t repeat itself.

At the same time, Sabrina woke up from her sleep. She found the bed empty. It"s been three days since her husband flew to New York and she"s missing him. But she can"t leave the country in this situation. She has lots of problem in her hands that she has to prioritize.
She closed her eyes and keep remembering everything that happened back then. She then pull out a sketch pad and a charcoal pencil that she always keep on the drawer at the bottom and started sketching on what she sees inside that property. She sketch the faces of the people accurately.
After sketching a scene, she then sketch on how Francisco look at that time and on how, he lovingly caress her mother"s face. Her mother was disgusted by the man and she did learn to herself on why the man was obsessed with her mother.
After few pages, she then sketch the single face of Francisco looking directly at her. She stare at him for long and smile dangerously.
"How long are you going to keep playing with me?" She asked the man that she portrayed on the sketch pad.
Her phone suddenly rings and she reach it and answer it without saying anything.
"I am surprise that you are still awake." Ignacio said. She remain quiet. "I won"t say much. I"ll just inform you to have dinner with me and my grandfather tonight." She then hang up.
After that call, she called Gabriel. It didn"t take long when he answer her.
"Why aren"t you sleeping yet?" He asked in a honeyed voice.
"I couldn"t sleep now." She mutter. "What are you doing?"
"Just checking few things."
"You are still busy?" She pouted. "Ignacio just called inviting me to have dinner with the old General. It"s been a while since I last saw the old man."
"Okay, I"ll send body guards with you." She chuckled.
"There"s no need." She could hear from the background noise that someone was presenting something and discussing with him whatnots. "Let the New York Times notify you of your interview."
"Why so suddenly?" He asked and she knew that he"s doing mult.i.tasking.
"After that project that you"ve been working on, it"ll be good to make exposure." She said in very seductive voice. "Honey, don"t work up yourself, I"ll be worried if you get sick while you were away."
"Okay. I"ll proceed the meeting so I can rest."
"Good. See you soon, my big bear." He laugh from the other line.
"See you soon." She hang up and sigh. d.a.m.n, she is really in love with him. This is—dangerous. She use to have a big views against falling in love. But Gabriel came and it all happened. There"s nothing that can stop it now.
She went back to sleep after that sweet talk with her husband.

Marga had sneaked to Enzo"s room but she didn"t find anything but boxes of condoms and his girlfriend"s things. Then she screamed when Versace jumps and growls at her. She screamed and run outside and back to her room. After that she wouldn"t want to sneak around when Versace is around.
So to investigate further, she went to Sabrina"s room and search around. Just when she was about to leave, something caught her eyes. She went to her dresser and pull the drawer. She stare at the familiar portrait. She pull the sketch pad to see a man"s face. It was Francisco—a little bit younger version of Francisco. The eyes show"s craziness and cruelty. She never thought that Sabrina could draw like pro and even show the person"s emotion through the portrait.
She flip the sketch pad and saw another face. It was the face that she haven"t seen but the face looks scary. She flip it again to find another and it was her mother"s face. Then flip it again and her face. She check the date and saw it was two years ago, when she bullied and embarra.s.s her in front of everyone.
She started shuddering. Sabrina is a psychopath. That"s what she could only say. Then she turn another page and the words makes her pee on herself.
"I will torture each one of you until you wish that you will just die instantly."
She put it back quickly and look around when she felt that someone has been watching her. She left the room and run to her own room.
Veronica was at the corner camouflaging herself in the room of her boss. She could enter easily since the guards that were hired in the Alvarez are EPUA"s guard and their boss made that thing to scare Marga. She sent the video to Sabrina and laugh a little.
