Rita was weeping silently from her confinement. She wanted to approach her niece who was crying in a corner, but couldn’t because she was tied up. Even her mouth was gagged, so she couldn't talk to her either. Earlier, she thought Danica hadn't noticed her following her. When she stopped her car to a side, she also stopped and kept her distance. But someone suddenly knocked on the window, she thought it was a beggar because of his clothes. But, he aimed a gun at her and he got into her car. She could do nothing but drive and follow the man's command where to go to."Why did she tie you up?" Natasha's voice was trembling and she was afraid to approach the woman because a woman named Danica would hurt her if she disobeyed her.Rita could only shake her head. She felt sorry for her because she seemed to have gone through the hardships of life. She was undeniably her niece because she looked like Daniela. She was also thin, so she was worried about her health.Natasha's attempt to approac
Steven and Xander went to an abandoned place. When they got there, the kidnappers were already there."I said just go alone, why are you with someone?" Brando asked Steven angrily."He's my friend and he doesn't carry a weapon like I do." Steven replied calmly."Release the hostage!" Brando called to a companion.Steven was furious when he saw Danica. She was obviously weak and had wounds on her face. Even her lips was cracked and stained with blood."It's her fault why I hurt her. She fought so hard so that's what happened." Brando explained with a smirk."When can I get my sister?" Steven asked the man whose face was covered and only his eyes were uncovered."Wait for my call. I don't want the authorities to find out, understood?" Brando pushed and released the captive.Steven quickly approached Danica and helped her stand up. The three men quickly moved away from them and they could not follow."Steven, Rita… they might hurt my friend!" Danica cried and hugged the young man."I nee
"Steven, when you read this letter of mine, I am no longer here, so don't look for me anymore. Forgive me for the sins I have committed against you. I will leave Daniela with you again and Sean. I need to get away to find myself. It's also my fault why Rita was kidnapped. Please forgive me and don't vent your anger toward me on the children. I wish you and Danica happiness. To her, I entrust our two children. I know she will love the children more than I did as a real mother. I'm worthless and everything Soledad said is true."Steven shredded the paper on which Nicole's letter was written. He was angry and he could not allow Nicole to leave just like that."Hijo, calm down first. We need to put your sister first before that problem with Nicole." Asuncion calmed her grandson."Grandma's right, Steven. I don't know what else Nicole wants to happen." Danica hugged the young man sadly.Steven tried not to let the children know about their mother’s departure for the time being. He could no
"Why did you suddenly come back? Did something bad happen?" Asuncion asked her grandson as they entered her room."Grandma, what was the agreement between you and Danica before the twins came out?"The Madame looked apparently guilty. "Why did you ask that?""I need to know, is it true that you gave Danica a condition to fulfill in order to be married to me?"Asuncion sighed and averted her eyes from her grandson. She knew what he hated the most was for someone to meddle in his life. "You know she has a problem with her ovary and the state of our clan when it comes to women."Steven no longer needed to hear the exact answer from his grandmother, what she said was enough."I don't want our bloodline to end with you. It's important that you have a child who will carry our family name." The Madame explained to her grandson."I understand and thank you for understanding my situation." He said sincerely.Steven didn't stay long in his grandmother's room. He did not want to tell her the tru
"I've changed my plan, Rita has to live so Steven and I can get married.""But what if she betrays you, Ma'am? Remember that she knows a lot and…""I know what I'm doing, so just follow what I want!" She irritably interrupted what else Brando had to say.Brando did not speak for a few seconds. "What are your plans now?"Danica smirked as she felt Brando gave up. The man was handsome and young, she could tell that he liked her, so he did whatever she said."Don't worry, I only need their wealth." She lied, so that he would not hesitate to cooperate with her.Danica needed Brando to be loyal to her. She can also use him one day as a man.Brando smirked and had hope."I want you to bring Rita and Nicole together because I'll talk to them. But don't let Natasha see Nicole, understood?""Yes, Ma'am." Brando replied with a smirk. He understood why the woman could not go there personally yet, because Steven was strict for her ‘safety’."Where are you taking me?" Nicole struggled to break fre
Madame Asuncion cried when she saw her granddaughter in the hospital. She was very happy and she was safe, but she noticed something had changed in her. She was quiet and she refused to speak even when asked by the police."Don't force her to speak now. I understand how she feels because I also experienced what happened to her." Danica said sadly.Rita averted her eyes from Danica and she might not be able to control herself. If a stare can kill, she was certain she would've died.When Gaven heard that Steven was in the same hospital, he went to them. He still can't contact or find Nicole, so he's worried."Sir…"Gaven turned to the man who called to him. When he recognized him, he quickly approached him."Sir, don't come near Sir Steven for now." Tony whispered as he looked around."What do you mean? Why can't I approach him? Do you know Nicole is missing and she can't be contacted anymore?""Let's go somewhere else, Sir. Please follow me." Tony did not wait for his response. He led
Rita entered Danica's room angrily when she regained her strength."Don't show me that attitude. Remember, you won't want to make me mad." Danica rebuked her."I want to make sure you're not doing anything bad to Nicole and Natasha. Call your henchman now so I can see they're still alive." She boldly commanded Danica."And why should I grant your wishes?" Danica asked arrogantly."You choose, to get your plan ruined right now or fulfill your dream to marry Brother? I'm not afraid to die anymore, Danica. I'm ready to risk my life for them!"Danica glared at Rita. She was hurt by what she said and she hated her. She had no choice but to call her henchman to show her that the two were still alive."Rita? I'm glad you came home safely." Nicole's eyes watered and she smiled while staring at Rita.Rita hardened her emotions to stay calm in front of Nicole. She was grateful and she had no bruises or signs that she was hurt.Danica quickly ended the call because she didn’t want to hear drama
When Danica arrived at the other hideout, Brando met her immediately."You idiot, why did you leave this bag in my car?" She threw the bag at him and it hit his chest.Brando scratched his head when he saw the bag. "I'm sorry, Ma'am, I was in a haste and I didn't even think about where I put it.""Be glad and no one else saw this." She rolled her eyes at the man. She went to where Nicole was."Ma'am, could you let us taste her before you bury her alive?" A subordinate asked Danica while smirking.Danica smirked and looked at Nicole. She was irritated with her perfect body, so she was pleased to think that other men will harass her."Danica, don't do this to me. If you're going to kill me, do it now." Nicole pleaded, and she was afraid.Instead of feeling sorry for her, Danica became even more annoyed with the woman. She approached her and slapped her hard on the cheek."That’s for being the villain in my life! If you didn't come back, Rita and I would still be friends!"Nicole immedia
