Life goes on to both Brent and Shantal. They are able to achieve plenty of recognition in their chosen field. Rodriguez's group of companies has become one of the country's most renowned businesses. Share revenue increased 25% from the previous years. Edward Rodriguez remains to be the chairman of the board while Brent is the current appointed President. Employee benefits increased as well. Brent gained respect from them because he worked hard to make things possible. It’s been 3 years since the accident took Cecilia and Mang Cardo’s life remains unsolved. Brent still secretly continues hiring someone to investigate the case.  Meanwhile, Edward Rodriguez invited him to  dinner. He came late because he had to attend a short meeting with their finance team. Pagdating niya sa location ng restaurant na sinabi nito nandon din ang lawyer ng company. 

Nang sumunod na araw bumalik na ng Pilipinas si Brent. Sinalubong siya ng driver sa airport. “ Manong Danny, si Uncle po?” “Naku sir may meeting ata sa labas kasi po nagpahatid sa akin kanina sa Makati Shangrila.” sagot ng matanda. Matraffic ang kahabaan ng kalsada kaya gabi na ng dumating sila ng mansyon. Tanging si Yaya Santina lamang at ang mga katulong ang naghintay sa kanya. “ Welcome home Brent!” bati ng matanda. Lumapit siya rito at nagmano. “Salamat Yaya Santina. Wag mo na po akong ipaghanda ng pagkain kasi busog pa po ako. Pakisabi nalang sa ibang katulong na iakyat na po lahat ng gamit ko. Bukas ko nalang po ibigay ang mga pasalubong ko sa inyong lahat.” sabi niya sa matanda .Kinabukasan, maaga

At Shantal’s home in the US…. Shantal’s mind we’re being bothered by her Yaya’s message. Sabi nito di maayos ang kalagayan ng ama niya. Tumawag ito at madaling araw na sa US. Di na siya bumalik ng tulog. She needs to come home. Her Yaya is right, It’s been a long time that her mom had died. She thinks that this would be the exact time to return back to her country and take back all her rights on her parent’s company. Though she doesn't have enough knowledge of the entire company operations she knows there are some professional employees who can help her to do it. She will drive Brent out in his father’s company. Panahon na para bawiin niya lahat ng para sa kanya. Busy man ang schedules niya ngunit nagpasya na siyang tanggihan ang ilan pang mga fashion series at commercial contract na dapat niyang gagawin. May sapat na siyang ipon. Batid din niy

Maghahating gabi na ngunit gising pa rin si Shantal. Nakita niyang hinatid ni Erick si Brent. Halatang lasing ang binata kaya mas pinili niyang manahimik nalang muna. Balak niyang komprontahin ito ngunit ng puntahan niya sa kwarto nito kaninang hapon ay wala si Brent. Nakita niyang sinalubong ito ni Mang Danny at hinatid sa kwarto. Siya naman ay pumasok na rin sa room niya. All of a sudden her life turns upside- down. Fate makes Brent  her enemy as her husband to be. She had to play the game her Dad been set up. She needs to get what belongs to her. She never feels any empathy for Brent because she thinks the man been sucking the blood and sweat of her parents a very long time ago.  Life has been unfair to her because she had to leave her home to prove to her parents that she can able to make them proud. Despite the fact that Brent was so nice to her  and she still hated the way he is.  

Next-Day…. Brent wakes up early at 8 am, the sunlight passes through the window of his bed. He felt so much headache because of the alcohol he had last night. Pakiramdam niya parang babasagin ang ulo nila. Gusto na niyang idilat ang mga mata ng may naamoy siyang scent ng morning dew cologne and he knows that that smell was from Shantal. Napadilat siyang bigla….Shocked and surprised, Shantal silently sleeping with him. Yakap-yakap niya ito. What’s going on? Tanong niya sa isip. Naaalala niyang bigla na nasa iisang room nga pala sila, accommodation reserved by Shantal’s father. Hindi niya matandaan papano siya nakarating sa higaan at katabi itong matulog. Hilong-hilo pa ang pakiramdam niya ng gumalaw ito sa sobrang gulat niya bigla siyang bumangon ngunit ang higpit lalo
