Chapter 3
Neil P.O.V.
It's been a month since eliana left andrei.

Andrei is very angry with eliana, even the worker is affected.

Wanted secretary again for Mr.Andrei Buenaventura

For the 3rd time this week?
Is nothing really going to last with his secretary?

Psh!

"Neil" I glanced at my office door when someone called me.

"Andrei, why are you here bro?" smiling I asked

"Nothing, Just paying a visit. Let's have a drink at the *** bar" he suggested, I gasped. Here he is, drinking alcoholic beverages.

"Fine but VIP" I replied, he had a fist bump before leaving.

I immediately called ria to report our hangout.

"Babe?"
"Hi babe, I miss youuuu" she said softly

"I miss you more babe, I can't go to your condo and andrei is inviting you again VIP I suggest"

"Well, I'm not doing anything right now. Can I come?"

"Sure but only light drinks okay?" I don't want him to get too drunk

"Yes babe, I'll go home first then just fetch me there and I'll also say something important"

Important matter? what is that?

"Okay drive safely, i love you"

"I love you more babe" he replied softly before turning off the call.

I finished the work I could finish before going home to the condo and then picked up ria.

"Good, I don't want you to wear a tight dress when you're going somewhere like this" I said authoritatively. She's wearing a pants and longs leeve ..

He just laughed and hugged me. I helped him into the car.

"Babe?" "Hm?" I replied

"I talked to aunt amanda a while ago" I looked at her when she said this

"What did you say?"
"They are very angry with eli, And andrei said he left a word one month ago, I think when he called you right away and eliana left" he sighed before continuing what he was saying "When eliana comes back here he will pay her andrei for what it did to him, He'll make eliana suffer the most "mixed with bitterness in his voice.

"Two months left and eliana will be able to come back here, I just hope it won't be noticeable when she threatened" I don't know what happened to eli and she didn't call after a month.

"I feel sorry for my best friend babe" I tightened my grip on her.

"We're here to help her, Let's just trust her" I replied with a small smile.

He stopped talking and just looked out of the car window.

When we got to the *** bar we entered and went straight to the VIP Room.

"Are we late?" I asked Andrei who was with our friends

"No you're in time" laughed calix

We all started drinking.
Andaming talked but ended up talking about eliana and andrei.

"He doesn't have enough reason to use me, If he doesn't love me well free to leave when we're still together" andrei's bitter statement to him only focused our eyes and ears.
"She fcking hurt me, I'll just give it back to her and I can triple it" he said angrily

Ria held me tightly so I looked at her and her eyes were full of concern.

Hopefully after this.

Author's P.O.V.

A month passed and her adoptive parents confirmed that the woman had suffered trauma from the men who had beaten her.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

[A/N: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a disorder that develops in some people who have experienced a shocking, scary, or dangerous event.

It is natural to feel afraid during and after a traumatic situation.

Fear triggers many split-second changes in the body to help defend against danger or to avoid it.

This "fight-or-flight" response is a typical reaction meant to protect a person from harm.

Nearly everyone will experience a range of reactions after trauma, yet most people recover from initial symptoms naturally.

Those who continue to experience problems may be diagnosed with PTSD.

People who have PTSD may feel stressed or frightened, even when they are not in danger. ]

Every day trauma finds the girl, nightmares are always her enemy.

The doctor said that she could help the person with PTSD but in the case of the young woman, she was not able to help herself.

"Iha?" old woman who sheltered him calls "Let's eat"
then led eliana to the dining room.

When they finished eating the couple decided to call the girl's friend to let her know her condition.

"Hello? Who is this?" answer from the other side

"Is this neil eliana's friend?" beginning of the old woman

"I'm ria, Neil's girlfriend and eliana's bestfriend"

"Daughter, can you go where we are? To Palawan" 'I hope it agrees' thought the couple

"Ho? Why? Did something happen to Eli?"

"Oo iha!"

"P-po?"

"She was sick a month ago when we found out she had that disease" it explained Eliana's illness.

On the other hand, ria was sitting while crying. Neil just went out to buy at a convenient store when they ate at the movie marathon to watch. But when he returned, he did not expect that he would find a crying bride.

Ria P.O.V.

I still cry to this day.

Why Eli need to suffer like this?
Why him?

"Babe?" I didn’t look back at him and continued to cry while looking at his cellphone.
"Why are you crying?" worried its question and touched me on both cheeks.

I didn't answer and buried my face in his chest.

"Babe why?"
"Babe si eliana" I said and cried out loud.

She seemed to lose color in her face when I said "A-what happened to eliana?"
Kabadong he asked

"K-we need to go to p-palawan better sooner"

"Wait what happened to him ria?" its a serious question

I took a deep breath before putting the two rice on my face
"She's sick" she blushed at what I announced "She's having Post Traumatic Stress Disorder" I lifted my eyes to her, neil was crying.

"Get up pack for a week's clothes, I'll book a flight" he stood me up and ushered me into the room "You don't have to tell anyone it's okay?" I just nodded, he gave me a kiss first before leaving.

Andrei P.O.V.

"B*llsh-t, Eliana" I shouted when I saw an envelope sent to me.

A woman turned her back but I'm sure eliana, the woman I loved then but I hate now. She was still with her man while hugging her. I know it's her. She was wearing the bracelet I gave her.

"Have fun with your man, when you come back here Hell you will experience me" then crumpled the photo and threw stones somewhere.

"Sir"

"Come In" my secretary entered

"You have a meeting with Mr. Montano this 3 pm" I didn't speak and focused my eyes on the papers.

When I finished all my work and went home, I found the manganese cleaning the whole house.

"Good Evening Sir" they greeted

"Uh! Man, please delete eliana's photos here as well. Just leave the photo of mom and me" their mouths fell open at what I ordered

Maybe they are wondering the woman I am proud of every day and all over the World I will take away my life and I will never let her in again.

I just cleaned the body and went down to eat.

"Man, do you have any food yet?" I shouted from the stairs.

"Yes sir, Eunice, serve sir dinner" manang quickly left, I went straight to the dining area and waited for something to eat.

While I was waiting I took out my cellphone. When I opened the cellphone I saw my wallpaper.

Me and eliana ...

I replaced it with wallpaper and deleted all the photos saved on my cellphone with him.

I was about to start eating when Neil suddenly called.

"Andrei, ria and I just have to take care of something so I can't get in, it's just important" then the call killed me.

It's rude not to even speak to me.

'What are they going to take care of?'
