"The first address she went to was closed. Locked from the outside. It meant no one was there. She followed the condo in Pasay.After parking her car, she hurriedly got down and headed to the condo lobby. Those who lived there seemed wealthy.

What can I do for you?" the receptionist asked warmly."Is Miss Almira Madrigal here?" she inquired.""For a moment, ma'am," she checked on the computer. "Yes, ma'am, who are you?""A friend.""May I know your name, ma'am?""Ericka Reyes."The receptionist furrowed her brow, "Ericka San Miguel?""Ye---yes," she wasn't sure why the receptionist recognized her. Perhaps from watching the news and seeing her on TV."Room 10-B5, ma'am.""Can I go up now?""Yes, ma'am.""Thank you," she smiled at the woman."Welcome po, ma'am," the receptionist replied with a

She opened her eyes. There was a device attached to her body. She was wearing oxygen. "What happened? Am I in the hospital again? Since we got married, this is the third hospital for me. I must be really unlucky."She saw Monica sitting nearby. She raised her hand to get her attention."Ericka!" Monica approached her. "How are you?""Where's Monte?""He left. Said he had somewhere to go. What happened to you?"Tears were all she could manage. It seemed serious. She removed the oxygen and sat up. She felt strong; at least that's how she felt."What happened?""They haven't told me yet. The doctor said you just had a shortage of oxygen. I thought you were pregnant when they called me." She sighed. "Bernard and the others are acting strange. I feel like they're hiding something from me."She bit her lip. "Should I tell her?""I went to see Almira," she looked up."Oh? Why would you visit that girl?""There's-- there's..." her mouth trembled. 'How do I begin?'"There's what?" Monica prodd

Monte walked down the hallway of their house, unsure whether to tell his grandfather about what happened or not. On his fourth turn, Ericka emerged from their room."What are you doing?" she asked, standing at the door and watching him nervously.He nervously bit his thumbnail. "How do I start with grandpa? What if... what if he gets angry?""It's not your fault since you didn't know," Ericka reassured, approaching and placing her hands on his shoulders."But...""I've been hearing whispers for a while now. What's going on here?" The grandfather stepped out of the room, looking concerned."Grandpa!" They both exclaimed in surprise.They approached as if they had seen a ghost... what is it?" he inquired."Uh... well... grandpa... we have something to tell you," he stuttered."What's going on? Is it important?" he grinned, "Do I have great-grandchildren now?""Let's discuss it in the study room," suggested Ericka."Alright, it seems like it's something important," he walked ahead.They

Almira closed the door of her condo with a sly smile. The señor seemed easily fooled, thinking he'd found Almira Madrigal. After snipping a lock of the child's hair, she retrieved the one she had taken from the Monte household. Returning to the señor, she maintained her grin."If we can prove this is my grandchild, we'll do what's right," the señor's words echoed in her mind.Feigning concern, she asked, "What about Ericka?""I know how to handle her," the señor confidently replied.Her smile widened, a masterpiece of deception."You will bring luck to my life," she praised the child, acknowledging the power of wealth and intimidation.She knew that the one she tasked would do everything she instructed. She wouldn't be disappointed, unlike someone like Khaye Dominguez. If she were still alive, she might have spilled everything to the police.She placed the child in the playpen and called the elderly housekeeper."Why, ma'am?" the housekeeper asked."Get ready. You're going home. The s

Addressed to grandpa.'She took it to the study room where the elderly couple was reading reports that day."Grandpa, there's a letter," she handed the sealed envelope to the old man.He examined it, "This is the result of a DNA test."Her heart pounded as if it were drumming. Her hands and feet grew cold. Despite the cool aircon, she was sweating profusely."Are you okay?" Monte whispered, helping her to sit."Yes," she replied, though she wasn't ready for what she was about to hear.The old man furrowed his brow, looking at them."Take a look," he motioned as he sat up.They approached. Tears streamed down her face. 99.9999999 percent. The child was Monte's. Even Monte felt a chill. 'What have I done?'"Both of you, sit down," the elder said. They complied."Give me s

POV: ErickaShe didn't know what was on her mind as she stood in front of Almira's condo unit. The elderly man was hospitalized due to a heart attack. While in the ambulance, he kept repeating the name Miguel. Thus, she left the hospital to visit Almira since the doctor hinted that the señor might not last long. The old woman needed to be with her grandchild.She pressed the button several times, but no one answered. "Is there no one here?"Fifteen minutes had passed, and the door remained closed.She decided to go to the reception. The woman she first saw was not there."Miss, is there no one in Miss Almira Madrigal's unit?""Give me a second, ma'am. I will check," she smiled and pressed the keyboard. "Ma'am, Miss Madrigal is not here.""Any hint where she might be?""The instruction is... hmmm, out of town for one week.""Ah, I see. Thank you."She left the building. Her mind was exhausted, thinking about the elderly man in the hospital. 'I need to talk to Almira.'She was about to

POV: MonteHe was surprised by the strength his grandfather displayed. Children indeed bring immense joy. He was happy as Almira brought their child for his grandfather to see."Thank you for your understanding, Almira," he said, placing a hand on her shoulder."It's nothing," she replied, holding his hand, "for grandpa.""Just a moment, I'll just call Ericka," he said, retrieving his cellphone from his pocket and dialing his wife's number.The number you have dialed is incorrect."Huh? How is it incorrect? We were texting just a while ago," he wondered silently.He tried again.The number you have dialed is incorrect.'How could it be incorrect? We were texting just a while ago. Is my phone malfunctioning? I'll check later. The important thing is that grandpa is awake.'He returned to his grandfather, who had tears in his eyes. Shortly after, the doctors arrived and checked on his grandfather."It's a miracle, Mr. San Miguel," the doctor said to him. "Just the other day, he had almos
