Sandali lang na nahawakan ni Emy ang anak niya. She passed out in tiredness after that.
Sila Anika naman ay nagdecide na ipaalam kanila Diana ang nangyari.
The mistress immediately went in their residence.
Diana couldn't help but feel hurt for her friend.
She thought she had it worse. Giving birth alone? But Emy had it worse than hers. How about giving birth while your husband is marrying another woman?
Diana helped Emy's maidservants clean Emy and her room. Then she held Emy's baby.
"Did she say what his name?"
Anika nodded.
"What is it?"

Sa reception...
Sebastian was anxious. Inaasahan na niya na hindi pupunta si Emy. He wouldn't want to see it too. Iniimagine pa lang ang mukha ng babae habang pinapanood ang kasal niya, halos hindi na maatim ng isip niya.
He sighed. Since reception na, he was thinking na pwede na siyang umuwi. But he was suddenly stopped by Xeno and the Emperor.
"Where are you going?"
"You've got what you wanted, right? I will go home now. My wife needs me."
"Pero asawa mo na rin ngayon si Misa."
Napatiim bagang siya.
"You told me it is only marriage by paper."
"Sebastian, mapasa papel man iyan o hindi, asawa mo na rin ngayon si Misa. Take responsibility. Hindi kita pinalaking ganyan."
"Papa, Emy needs me."
"Misa needs you too now. Kung hindi mo siya sasamahan ngayon, people will talk about her."
"Just five days, Sebastian. Spend five days in Misa's residence. After that, hindi na kita pipilitin."
"You are asking too much. I have a wife and she is my priority. Napagbigyan na kita and that's enough. Kulang pa ba na dahil sa kasal na ito, my marriage to Emy is crumbling now?"
"Sebastian! You can't blame that to your father. Hindi niya kasalanan na hindi maintindihan ni Emy kung bakit kailangan mong pakasalan si Misa."
"Papa, I can't believe hearing this from you."
"You are not going anywhere, young man. You will spend five days in Misa's residence whether you like it or not."

When Diana heard that, agad niyang pinapunta sa residence ni Misa si Lia para sabihin kay Sebastian na nanganak na si Emy.
Pero hindi nakausap ni Lia si Sebastian dahil pinigilan siya ng mga tauhan ni Misa.
In the end, she went home feeling bad for her Miss..
Diana tried too. Pero ganun din. She was stopped by those guards. Then she found out na limang araw doon si Sebastian. And Xeno commanded that the two should not be disturbed at all.
Naikuyom na lang niya ang mga kamay niya. Wala talagang kasing sama ang dalawang iyon. They even made sure na hindi makakaalis si Sebastian sa residence ni Misa at walang makakausap ito mula sa labas.
And five days?!
God knows kung anong posibleng mangyari sa dalawa.
And they said it was just marriage by paper.
Her anger increased on behalf of her friend.

Emy woke up the next morning feeling terrible. Her body is still aching. But she immediately looked beside her. Her baby...
But her baby wasn't beside her. She looked around the room to ask anyone kung nasaan ang anak niya, but instead, she saw Misa there, carrying her son.
"You..."
"Oh, you are awake."
"Give me my baby."
"Chill, Emy. I can't do anything to your baby as much as I want to. Serafina knows I am here."
"Give him to me now!"
She couldn't help but to raise her voice. She's scared. She's still weak and vulnerable at kung may gawin si Misa sa anak niya ngayon, she won't be able to defend him.
"Geez, Emy. You're such a sore loser."
Misa walked towards her and laid the baby on her arms.
She remained sitting beside her.
"Your baby looks like Sebastian. But how unlucky he is, he got your eyes."
"Go away."
"Emy, I have never thought I will see you this weak. You are always so high and mighty. But look at you now.
"Truly, my father is right. Emotions make you weak."
Misa stood up.
"As of now, you are no longer worthy as my enemy, Emy. You're disgraceful."
"Go away! Get out!"
Emy continued screaming made her maids and Serafina rushed there.
But Misa just immediately acted as if she was scared of Emy.
"Mama, I-I was just puttibg back her baby beside her. I... I didn't know she will be upset."
Serafina immediately accompanied her outside.
"Emy is just still stressed for giving birth. She will ease up." Serafina told her.
Sakto namang dumating ang Empress at dahil sumisigaw pa rin si Emy, she heard what was happening there. Agad siyang napatingin kay Misa.
"Don't you know that your appearance here will cause her to be like this? Or baka naman sinadya mo talaga na magpunta dito to stress her?"
"Your highness, Misa has no ill intention towards Emy."
"Wag kang magbulagbulagan, Serafina. Babae ka rin. You should sympathize to Emy. Isa ka sa naghikayat sa kanya na pumasok sa pamilya natin. But look how heartless you are towards her. I can't believe you playing stupid now."
Saka niya iniwan ang dalawa doon at pinuntahan si Emy.
***
Misa left Emy's residence.
But even after seeing Emy like that, she was still not satisfied.
She was expecting na may mangyayari sa kanila ni Sebastian kagabi. She had wore her most seductive dress. Pero mas pinili pang matulog ng lalaki sa sofa kesa tabihan siya.
Then she heard na nanganak na nga si Emy.
She had decided to visit the lady para inisin ito.
But instead, siya pa ang nainis.
Emy still had the Empress' sympathy.
Kulang pa.
Not until people left Emy's side totally, she will not stop at all.
