"Are you sure you're ready to know everything that happened even if it will change your perception about me? You might hate me in the end, you know..."

But I want you to remember one thing... After you hear the truth, and whatever your decision is, I will never, ever, let Paolo go." Via announced, while looking determined."Whatever happened in the past, it won't change anything at the present time. I just want to know the whole truth so that we can all have a proper closure." Serena diplomatically explained.Via drank a whole glass of water, then afterwards, she finally speaks out."A day after you flew to Australia, Brianna came to our house and looked for you.

Tales of the Heart Chapter Thirty: Wounds From the Past
Liam is driving the car to their shooting location for their second day of work. Serena is quietly sitting at the passenger's seat, as her mind is flying elsewhere."I need to privately talk to Paolo so that I can apologize to him. I know it's too late to ask for his forgiveness, but it's better late than never, right?" she asked to herself.She snaps out from her reverie when she heard Liam's voice."Are you listening to me, Serena?"Serena shook her head, as she tries to regain her composure."Oh, I'm sorry. I was actually thinking about work. What were you saying again." she did a white lie to her boyfriend.Liam didn't say anything, but instead, he carefully stops the car at the side of the road."What's wrong, Liam? Why did you stop the car?" Serena curiously asked him."Serena, don't you trust me?" Liam seriously questions her."What kind of question is that? Of course, I trust you!" Serena insisted."Then why didn't you tell about your past with Paolo?" Liam finally asked the q

She was still in deep thought when she suddenly heard Paolo's voice inside the Centrum."Just like what I thought. There you are." Serena heard Paolo's baritone voice."W-What are you doing here?" Serena cursed herself for stammering like a fool."I should be the one asking you that." Paolo asked back.Serena lets out an audible sigh."I'm not in the mood to play mind games, Paolo. I'd better go back to work. Maybe Liam is looking for me too." she said in a hurry, as she starts walking away.Without a warning, Paolo gently grabs Serena's arm to stop her from walking away."Why do you keep on avoiding me? Did I do something wrong?" Paolo bombarded her with questions."Paolo, please let me go." Serena pleaded. "I should be angry right now, Serena. I wanted to know the reason why you left me without saying goodbye... But my heart is telling me to crush you in my arms and never let you go!" Paolo emotionally revealed his true feelings."What you're thinking is not right, Paolo." Serena w
Tales of the Heart Chapter Thirty-Two: Love Hurts
The second day of their shooting went on smoothly without any problems.Every staff and crew worked perfectly well together, and as a result, they were able to do advanced shooting. The director happily told them that their departure from Walnut Creek can be much earlier than the original projected schedule. It means they can go back to Australia after a week, and not the original schedule which is three weeks. Once they return to Australia, they will shoot the remaining scenes there, and they will be busy with promotions, advertisements and press conferences."I'm so glad and relieved we're going back to Australia earlier than the usual." Liam chatted, while he's driving.However, Serena is not listening to Liam. Her mind is elsewhere, and her conversation with Paolo awhile ago keeps on replaying in her mind."We can never be friends, Serena."

She tightly wraps the handkerchief on Via's wounded wrist and applied pressure on it.She grabs her mobile phone from her pocket and dialled an ambulance.As soon as she made a call, she turns her attention back to Via."Paolo...

You didn't have to do this." she whispered back, while looking teary-eyed.============================At a certain hospital.Serena's hands were still shaking while holding the styrofoam with hot coffee.

Back in Via's hospital room."I'm just so glad you didn't leave Via all alone, Serena. We don't know what else can happen to her if you're not there." Don Rafael said.Serena gently clasped her father's hand to make him feel that everything's okay."Via is fine now, Daddy. She's safe." Serena comforted her father."Your sister looks so frail and vulnerable, Serena. It really breaks my heart to see her like this." the old man spoke again.Serena suddenly remembers something."Do you still remember the day when you first introduced me to Via? She also had the same appearance. Innocent, frail and vulnerable. But deep inside, she's a very strong woman, Daddy. I am confident that she will recover from all of this and comes back stronger than before."

Tales of the Heart Chapter Thirty-Five: The Frail Via
Paolo raises his hands unto the air, as if surrending."Alright. But let me talk until the end before you insult me again." he pleaded again.Serena gave him a clipped nod as an answer. "---when Via first tried to commit suicide, it was my first attempt to end our relationship. I told her that it was my problem to begin with, and she doesn't need to blame herself. I wanted to end everything because I don't want to be in a half-hearted relationship, and the fault lies on me, not hers. I don't want to have a fake relationship with such a great woman just like your sister Via. She deserves someone better. Then one day, your father called me and informed me that Via tried to hurt herself. And that's when I realized that I couldn't leave her alone in that state." Paolo started with his own side of the story."So you decided to continue your relationship with Via even though your both fooling and torturing yourselves?" stated Serena."So you got back together with him again even though
