Ana finished playing the song, and a moment of silence followed. The audience was captivated, and familiar music filled the room. Ana’s fingers danced across the piano keys, and the audience, both familiar and foreign, rose to their feet to applaud her performance.Ana wiped away tears from her eyes and looked around in disbelief. “Martin, we thought… Ana didn’t know how to play the piano,” one of her friends said.“Yeah, I remember that. We taught her because she said she didn’t know how to play any instruments, right?”“She’s outstanding!”Ignoring his friends’ comments, Martin continued to stare at Ana, who was still staring blankly at the piano.The host coughed and quickly made his way to the stage to praise Ana. “Wow! That was an outstanding performance, Lady Ana!”Ana blinked and smiled at the host before standing up to face the audience. “How did you learn to play the piano, Lady Ana?” the host asked.Ana smiled and took a deep breath. “I don’t know, to be honest. I don’t kno

Ana has been busy for the past few days due to her work, so she has been focusing on her tasks and the evidence they have. She still hasn’t found any loopholes that would further incriminate the Villalobos.She also needs to be careful because she knows Levi Villalobos may be taking action to get her out of the town of San Alfonso.Furthermore, she cannot afford to lose the battle. She has been preparing for all her plans against the Villalobos for a long time. She doesn’t want to go back to the past where she had no chance and was considered a coward, as her opponent is not to be taken lightly. But as long as she is by Martin’s side, she will be at ease.Tyron continues to serve under the Villalobos to find out their every move. Ana no longer trusts the people she is with at the hacienda, as Levi might bribe them to betray her and reveal his plans for her.Ana thought her work would be quiet, but she heard some bad news from Tyron.“Ana, Grandma Tasing is dead. She was found lifeless

“Why is this happening?!” Everyone looked at Martin, who had just arrived from Manila. It took him a few days to get back to San Alfonso due to his work. He was worried about Ana when he heard what had happened, so he rushed to finish his work, but he still couldn’t come home right away because he had a lot of business to take care of.Martin looked at Ana, trying to calm himself. “Ana, what did I tell you?” he asked.Ana turned to Martin, looking at him emotionlessly, but she sighed. “Martin, I just wanted to go around the whole area of San Alfonso and help the people who are struggling because of their low wages under the Villalobos,” Ana explained in a calm voice. “I know you're just worried about me, but I can take care of myself. You don't have to worry about me anymore.” She smiled and held Martin's arm to calm him down.Martin took a deep breath and just shook his head, as it seemed that Ana had plans that he didn't know about. “Who’s Tasing?” he asked Ana, who paused but just

Ana couldn’t sleep because of her conversation with Detective. She was still thinking about everything she had heard and learned. She took a deep breath and paced in front of the bed, trying to piece everything together, but there was still missing information. Furthermore, she didn’t find what she was looking for.“Can’t sleep?” Martin asked as he woke up and noticed Ana wasn't beside him.“You can sleep more,” Ana replied. Martin furrowed his brow when he saw Ana couldn't sit still.“What did he tell you?” Martin asked seriously. Ana stopped pacing and scratched her hand, then shook her head at Martin. “Did he hurt you?”Ana looked at Martin and shook her head. “No. He will never hurt me.”Martin furrowed his brow even more because Ana seemed sure that the man wouldn't hurt her. “Then, what is it? What’s bothering you?”Ana sighed, crossed her arms, and turned away from Martin. “I-I don’t know…? That old man… He’s not crazy,” Ana said with her eyes closed, then turned to look at Mar

ANA’s POV“Hey,” I blinked and looked around, realizing that we were at the town hall. I stifled a yawn, as I hadn't had a proper sleep in a week. I tried to read Lady Stella’s diary again, but I couldn't focus due to my business responsibilities and the upcoming election.“Martin,” I called out softly to Martin, who was listening intently to the conversation. “Martin,” I tugged at his sleeve, causing him to turn towards me. “What are you discussing?” I asked.He glared at me, so I just smiled, as I hadn’t really been paying attention, my mind preoccupied with Lady Stella’s diary.“About business and the funds for the citizens,” he replied.I fell silent and leaned back in my chair. I glanced at the Villalobos, who were acting as if they were saints in front of the investors. Furthermore, I couldn’t believe that they could still carry themselves so confidently after what they had done to me, as if they had nothing to do with what happened to me. It was obvious that they were hiding ev
