Daniella was happy that Lilian and Alexander have reconciled their differences. It was only Paloma who wasn’t thrilled at the reunion of Vanessa’s parents and her stepmother went somewhere to relax. Lilian was worried about her mother but Daniella assured Lilian that everything would be fine, and Paloma would just return home soon. At breakfast, Ortega announced to everyone that he and Lilian, would be gone for a day or two and that Thalia should take care of Vanessa for the time being. Daniella agreed to it, and Marcus did too. The newly reconciled couple must have felt suffocated because of the agents who were on the property and they needed someplace that was quiet and romantic. Lilian and Alexander left the property around noon. “Finally, it’s just me and you,” Marcus said. “And at least twenty security personnel,” Daniella added. “I’m here now, Dani, so why do you need them to guard this place?” Marcus disliked the idea that the place was cramped with Ort

Alexander took Lilian to his building first which housed his agency as soon as they arrived in the city. After he explained everything about the nature of his job, they went to the parking lot for their car, then they would go somewhere nice for lunch. All of a sudden, Lilian screamed when someone grabbed her and forced her to get inside their van that was parked just beside Alexander’s car. His eyes widen upon seeing Lilian being dragged away and he followed. He prepared himself for a bloody fight, and he was too focused on saving his woman that he didn’t notice the man behind him who struck his head. She cried for his name as Alexander lost his consciousness and was dragged inside the van. The horrible man who did it to him dared to smile at her. She was angry and glared at the man but all of them just laughed at her. “What do you want from us?” She asked and begged the men to let them go. “We only needed him, lassie. It’s just bad luck that you’re with h

Since he came, Marcus never got the chance to spend quality time with Daniella. She was always busy and on most occasions, she would prioritize their daughter and Vanessa. He wished that Lilian would be back soon! However, there was an old saying that stated to be careful with what you wish for or you might get it. He just got back from Daniella’s office when Lilian arrived, together with Alexander and a certain unwanted guest. At first, he thought that his imagination was just playing some tricks on his eyes, but when he rubbed it, Philip Madrigal was still there, alive and kicking! “Pa, what are you doing here?” he inquired. “Is that how you’re supposed to greet the man who let you see the world?” Philip scolded his son for forgetting his good manners. Marcus had no choice but to let his father inside the house, together with Lilian and Alexander. The couple immediately went to look for their daughter. “How did you know about Alexander and Lilian?” “It just hap

Before dinner, Paloma announced to everyone that she wanted Lilian, Alexander, and Philip in the library to discuss an important matter. “Ma, what is this about?” Daniella asked because she was confused why Paloma included Philip. “For now, it’s confidential, Ella,” Paloma replied and ahead to the library. Lilian and Alexander were also confused when Paloma made it sound so urgent and serious. Out of them all, it was only Philip whose expression remained the same and casually followed Paloma to the library. “Do you have a clue what is this about?” Lilian asked Alexander but the man only shrugged off his shoulders. They were all gathered around the long table inside the library and Paloma waited for everyone to take their sit before she opened her mouth. “Lilian dear, how much do you love Alexander?” She started by asking Lilian just how in love she was with Alexander. “So much, Ma,” Lilian replied. “And you Alexander?” Paloma continued. “I can’t l

Philip stared at the man who just arrived and wondered if he was Paloma’s suitor. He knew he shouldn’t feel a little bit of jealousy if the woman would entertain a suitor because he was nobody to her. They just had a one-night stand too long ago! He just listened as Edwin informed Paloma that he returned her car in good condition. When Paloma smiled at Edwin, Philip was starstruck, just like that night in the bar. He noticed her first just right when she came in, and he considered it a blessing when the woman sat beside him and ordered hard liquor. Just like Paloma that night, his heart was tortured as he mourned for the fifth death anniversary of his wife, the mother of Marcus. Katerina was his world and his everything but cancer stole her away from him! The woman who introduced herself as Sharon was very drunk and tried to seduce him into sleeping with her. He was still sober that night but couldn’t refuse the temptation and carried the woman to his car and brought her to th

Daniella didn’t believe when Marcus told him that he had no relationship with Alicia. No woman in her right mind would just kiss anyone she met for the first time, and she was not blind at all! She saw it how Alicia clung to Marcus as she missed her so much! “Do you take me as a fool?” She screamed and attacked the man by scratching his face! “Dani stopped it!” Marcus tried to elude her attacks but Daniella decided to transform herself into an a****n warrior. “So tell me who is she? How did you know her? Did you keep in touch with her so that she knew where you are?” There were still a lot of questions running through her head and she wanted to ask him everything! She was too angry that she felt like her heart would explode any moment or she would break down in tears! However, before she would let her tears fall down, she would get every piece of information that she could get from Marcus. “Fine, but can we talk about it in private?” He said and proposed to Daniella that

Paloma and Philip rushed to the district hospital where Lilian was taken, and while on the way, they were anxious and uneasy. “Let me drive the car for you,” Philip offered as he noticed that her hands were shaking and she was nervous behind the wheel. “No, I can manage. Anyway, the hospital is just nearby.” Paloma refused his offer and glared at the man for inadvertently causing a misunderstanding about Lilian and Alexander’s parentage. “If you were not stupid to just sit there and corrected me, things like these would never happen.” Paloma started to blame Philip for Lilian’s attempted suicide. Philip was exasperated as he listened to the woman’s outburst. “How could you put the blame on me when I didn’t do anything wrong? It was you and your damn assumptions!”Philip fought back and scowled at Paloma for singlehandedly blaming him for everything. “Bastard!” she cursed at Philip as she continued to maneuver the car towards the hospital. She couldn’t blame Lilian

Gerald waited until they reached home before he confronted Alicia about the kiss. He was too furious and humiliated at the same time when Alicia caused the scene at Daniella’s house. He went there with good intentions as Daniella’s friend, but Alicia did something horrible. “How did you know her husband?” He started by asking how she got acquainted with Marcus Madrigal. “Oh, we used to work together on the farm.” Alicia crossed her legs as soon as she was seated on an upholstered sofa. “You used me!” Gerald accused the woman of using his hospitality to be close to Daniella’s boyfriend. No, he couldn’t allow it! Gerald thought. If Alicia would stay longer in Oslob, he couldn’t guarantee that the woman wouldn’t do something stupid similar to what happened earlier. Alicia didn’t try to persuade Gerald about his accusation because it was true. She just used him to get close to Marcus and she was not going to deny it. “Common Gerald, just consider it as doing me a great favor
