Chapter 25 (Fight For Me)

I was also busy because of my mom's upcoming wedding. We chose gown designs for her and Eduardo's wedding.   Sebastian suddenly called. I just stared at my phone.   I don't know, but I feel disgusted. I feel so stupid. I want to see him, but I know his work is essential, and I don't want to meddle in anything he wants.   He loves to work, I know. He's a workaholic. I love him so much that I just choose to keep quiet and not disturb him.   He stopped the call, but he was texting me.   From Sebe: Baby, please answer. Let's talk.   "Hija, anything wrong?" I looked at mom next to me.   "No, mom."   "Did you have a misunderstanding?"   I immediately shook my head.   "He's busy, so we have no time to talk."   "Being understanding is needed in a relationship. You two have a lot more to go through at that point."   "I know, mom, I did. It's just..." I trailed out.   "You're contributing," she answered.   The ringing of her cellphone stopped our conversation. Mommy's forehead furrowed, and she turned to me.   "Sebe's outside. He said you're not replying. Wait, I'll let him in."   But I stopped her.   "No, I'll just come out."   I came out and opened the gate; Sebe's black SUV was immediately exposed to me.   I got in his car.   "Hi." I can't look at him.   "I'm sorry, I'm just tired," he said wearily. He sat on his lap. He leaned his face on my shoulder, and I could feel his tiredness.   I felt guilty. I moved away a little to face him.   "You should rest."   He nodded and looked at me seriously. For now, I'll pay more attention to him. Instead of sulking, I'll just understand him.   The following day, I entered school. As soon as I got out of the taxi, my vision immediately blurred. I stopped for a moment and touched my forehead.   Shit!   "Are you okay?"   I cleared my throat.   "I'm okay. I'm just a little dizzy."   Kurt's forehead creased. He gently touched my arm.   "Do you want me to take you to the clinic?" he asked worriedly.   "No, it's okay."   I was stopped by someone pulling at me.   "Kurt Marasigan." I didn't know he was here.   Kurt bowed his head. "Good morning, sir."   Kurt was suddenly confused.   "Good morning."   He immediately pulled me away from there. I went with him without hesitation.   His hand wrapped around my waist possessively. As soon as I entered his office, he immediately let go of me and loosened his necktie.   I already know what.   "How many times?"   "I know! I know!" I interrupted what he was going to say. He was a bit surprised there, but he also recovered quickly. He waved his hand in front of me.   "We're just talking!" I dropped the bag on the sofa.   "The hell, I care! You're engaged with me!" Like thunder, he told me.   Oh, my god? I know that! Of course!   "Fucking stop making me jealous!" He shouted.   Damn it! Tears welled up in my eyes.   "You're really impossible, Sebe! He's just worried about me!"   "Worried?" he mocked. "Are you close then?" He approached me, so I backed away.   I don't know why he's so hot-headed now. He lost his formality.   "What are you saying, Sebe? You don't trust me?" I pushed his chest as he approached me.   He shook his head. Doesn't he trust me?   "I feel good that he saw me! Where are you when I need you? You're busy, right ?!"   His forehead creased and pulled me closer. His aura has changed now; it has become soft.   "What's wrong?" he asked, touching me on the forehead and neck.   "No, don't ask, I'm leaving." I immediately turned around and picked up the bag on the sofa.   But he pulled me back. I also feel different from myself now that I have the courage to answer like this to Sebe.   "We have to talk!" His grip tightened on me.   "I have a lot to do, Sebe. I'm busy too, so please." I raised an eyebrow at him.   We looked at each other for a few more seconds, and he released me.   When I came out of the door, I heard him punching his desk.   I went to the comfort room to ease my emotions.   I entered the cubicle first. I was in the middle of urinating when I heard the footsteps of a heel.   I ignored that because it's normal for women here to wear heels. But I wondered why she stopped right in the cubicle where I was right now.   My forehead furrowed. A strange tremor immediately formed in my chest.   When I came out, I didn't see anyone enter. Each door in the cubicles was open.   I was immediately distracted when I saw something written in the mirror using bright red lipstick.   'Are you ready to die? '   My heart hammered violently.   My knees shook with extreme nervousness. My chest went up and down due to the shortness of my breath.   I was about to go out, but I immediately rolled my eyes.   "Fuck..." I clung to the sink so as not to fall. It was as if it were written for me.   I turned the letter over to the cubicle door again. My chest throbbed with extreme nervousness.   I was going to run out but was immediately stopped when someone entered.   Fuck!   Eli was in all-black attire.   She grinned devilishly.   I felt like I would explode with shock when she pulled out a small knife from behind her.   "Long time, no see," she horribly said to me. Her messy hair was loose. She had no lipstick, and she was pale.   My breathing became hard. It's like it's hard to find air.   "What are you doing here?" I said. I tried to strengthen my voice.   She laughed.   She approached me, so I backed away.   "Don't you dare come near me!"   He locked the door. I was moved to tears because she could stab me with just one move, especially since we were in a small corner.   "Oh?!" she sighed dramatically. "Are you scared?"   I wiped away my tears.   "You are crazy!"   She hushed me.   I needed help. I prayed that Sebe would find me.   I need to activate my brain now.   "You think you'll be happy because you take Sebe away from me? Huh?" She pointed the knife at me, and I was pressed into the sink. Eli's knife was only a few inches away from me.   It will almost reach my neck.   "He doesn't love you! I'm the one he loves!" I shouted at her. It was my idea to shout so someone could hear me.   "Me! I'm the one he loves!" She shouted at me back.   I smirked. So stupid!   "Dream on! He will never love someone like you! '   "Damn you!"   At the same time, she hit me with a knife, but I ran away. That hit my arm.   "Ack! ~" I screamed in pain. so much pain!   She laughed.   I saw my own blood flowing from my arm.   "You will die! If Sebe doesn't marry me, he won't go to anyone else!"   She pointed the knife at me again, but I stopped it immediately. I stopped holding her hand.   I gasped in extreme nervousness and fear. My arm was numb.   "Let me go!" She shouted when I did not let go of her hand with the knife, and I immediately kicked her in the stomach.   She groaned with pain.   She's crazy! She really wants to kill me!   That was the signal for me to get out.   "Help!" I shouted as I couldn't open the door.   "Help!"   "I'll kill you!" I heard her loud shout from behind me as she stabbed me in the back.   Fuck.   Even in great pain, I turned to her and pushed hard.   I could see my blood spreading right on the floor. Tears welled up in my eyes, but I tried to stand up.   My life will not end here. I love Sebastian so much, and I will never leave him.   I'm in so much pain and don't think I can manage what I'm doing. With full force, I opened the door.   I even heard her shout.   I heard the students gasp immediately. I heard the firing of blackened men from whom I did not know.   My vision became dark, but I managed to run.   Not now! Please.   I met the blackened and armed men, and not far away, I saw Sebe holding a gun.   My pace gradually slowed down.   I sobbed. "S-Sebe."   His jaw tightened, and he ran at me.   I could feel my body falling to the ground.   "Fuck!" I saw fear in his eyes when he saw that I was bloody.   Even with my eyes closed, I could see how scared he was and the flow of his tears.   He tapped my cheeks.   "Baby, breathe! Please breathe!"   I cannot talk. I could hear the gunshots.   "Fucking call an ambulance!"   Sebe shouted.   The students hid somewhere else safe for them. The only person here was in a pure black uniform with a gun. There are many of them; I know that they are Sebe's men right away because I've seen them once.   They surrounded Sebe and me. Damon immediately approached.   "Fuck! I'll drive you!" No doubt Sebe picked me up.   "Sir Sebastian! We shot Mike!" I heard Sebe's man shout.   "Fucking kill him!" There is no doubt in his answer.   Is Mike here with Eli?   I could feel his love caressing my cheek.   I nodded weakly.   "Fight for me, please. I'm sorry, baby." He speaks.   I could feel Damon speeding up the car.   I was completely numb from the pain, and I could no longer lift my eyelids.   Sebe shook me.   "Fuck! No! No!" he cried.
