((( CLAIRE )))

"Good." He took the glass from me.

"Stop crying and get some rest."

I shook my head and ran towards the bathroom. I locked the main door and locked myself inside one of the few cubicles. He has the key to the main entrance and I knew well he could enter it with ease. But the cubicles can only be locked from the inside with a sliding metal rod.

"Claire…Open up!"

He's gotten inside the bathroom and was rapping against the door of the cubicle I'm in.  

I cried again silently.

"Open up or I'll destroy this door!" he warned.

I sobbed and despite the difficulty to speak, I mumbled.

"Please leave me alone for now Zhio…Please."

"I'll give you some space but don't lock yourself in there."

"I'll get out once I feel okay."

"You're making everything difficult for me Claire. What do I have to do to please you?"

Nothing…

Nothing Zhio…

(SYA)

We silently cleared the table in Zhio's room. They were arguing in the bathroom when we went in. What was surprising about it was that we overheard Claire was pregnant.

"Miss Claire is pregnant?" one of the maids was nosy.

"You heard it," replied the other maid.

"There'll be a young Zel Cantheliz in the house!"

"Shut up," I shushed them up.

That news was indeed heart-warming but it entailed something nasty. The pair was yelling at each other like a troubled couple.  

"I think you have to leave her here for a bit,"

I advised Zhio when I went inside the comfort room.

"I'll try to convince her instead."

"Make sure she doesn't hurt herself."

"Understood."

Zhio left.

I knocked gently at the door,

"He's gone, dear."

She didn't respond.

The two other maids curiously peered inside the bathroom too and all of us sighed together.

Looks like there's nothing I could do about her either…
