She had become manipulative in their relationship that he felt like a dog on a leash. She threatened to leave him and abort their child.He went to a bar and get drunk in frustrations before he went home. He doesn't even remember how he was able to reach home. He woke up with a headache, but he felt that he slept with someone and had a wild night.He thought it was Samantha, but it felt different. He saw the evidence in the sheets on his bed that he thought he should confront his wife.But was those kids that the Georges claim to be his, is it true? He must get to the

When Tristan learn that he fathered Nicole's kids, at first he was in dilemma as to what he had to do.To acknowledge the children means that he have to say goodbye to Samantha and break up with her. He felt that she might make true to her threat to kill herself. In so doing this he is not sure how the children will accept him.If he leave it as is this means that he is neglecting his responsibility with the kids, and having kids was all he needed right now. He wanted to experience being a father which will never come true if he will stay with Sam. She was diagnosed not to be able to conceived again after her miscarriage.He decided to talk to Nicole and asked him rights to the children. This might be the cure to Sam's depression of not having children.He rush home earlier to tell Sam of his plans. When he open the door. The house was empty except for the TV left playing adult movie. He saw some empty glasses and bottles of wine.Sam may be having experiencing attacks of depressio
Anna alone in her quarters felt that it's the time she made her move to escape. While she acted dumb and having problems to comprehend, she was silently mapping the place and making her plans of escape.Tonight is the night, it's now or never. Everything is perfect the impostor left. Once she is not around her guards tend to be slacking on their duties.Before she left she had paid her men. She's sure they will be spending the time on boozing just as always. She saw some of the men brought in supplies she assume to be food, and alcoholic drinks would be included in those supplies. Another thing is tonight there will l be a total lunar eclipse it would render the place in total darkness it's just about time the men will be too drunk to notice or check on her.She heard that the impostor had returned to her and Anthony's home so she knows if she will be able to escape that would be the place she had to avoid.She is hurting a lot knowing, that woman had stolen her home, her money, her
"That woman just doesn't know when to stop!" Athena reacted when Tristan relate and showed her the pictures that his private investigator submitted to him."What do we do now? It seems Helen as Anna George already reach out to Nicole."They already met?" Athena was surprised."Yes, Nicole said that they accidentally met at a mall while she is buying jewelry for her next campaign. I suspect that wasn't accidental on Helen's part.""She even insisted to meet with the twins, which have Nicole worried because she's acting weird. It was just a good thing that the exams are approaching. And the twins doesn't want to be parted with their pet." Athena was silent for a moment, thinking about what Tristan said."Now I think I know who is her target." Athena finally said after careful thinking."But how can we avoid Helen to reach her goal. We have no evidence against her to restrain her meeting my family especially the twins. Even the doctor who had done the procedure is out of reach., nowher
"Aren't you surprised to see me?" Helen baffled when she doesn't obtained the reaction she is anticipating when Anna saw her.Anna for her part tried not to show any reaction from seeing Helen who look exactly like her."Why don't you speak! Do you think I'm your doppelganger?" Helen irritably raise her voice for not getting a response. But still Anna just look through her as if not seeing her at all."Dolores!" She called the woman looking after Anna."Yes Ma'am. You want something?" "Did you drugged this woman?" "No Ma'am! You had a strict order not to do that anymore." The woman breathlessly replied."Then why is she standing there like a dumb woman staring as if I'm not here and not hearing me speak?" Helen said annoyingly."I don't know we have been talking yesterday when she woke up. But after that she had been that way ever since..""And what have you been feeding information to her." She suspected that Anna is affected by whatever she learn about their situation."Nothi
Anna woke up from a long and tiring sleep. She felt so weak and wondered why she is feeling tired when she just wake up."Anthony, Anthony honey where are you?" She felt panic when she clearly saw her strange surrounding. That's when she recalled the moment before their car crash against the concrete barriers along the road.Anthony and Anna was traveling within the speed limit required. But there was an incoming car who counter flowed to their lane. That's when Anthony discovered that the brakes are not working. He tried to avoid a head on collision and turn the steering wheel towards the barriers."Honey what is happening!" Anna asked her husband in panic."Braced yourself Anna, the brakes are not working!" Then a loud crash was heard. When she opened her eyes, she saw her husband bloodied face she felt his pulse he is still alive. But nausea hits her she then felt everything turn dark.

"What do you think, Athena?"Jonathan asked Athena, he is sure that Nicole's observation with regards to the personality changes of Annatalia George are not of coincidence or simply cause by oblivion."I don't know Jon, but if her observation were true. Then I guess that woman is not what she say she is." Athena have her own suspicion about Helen. She wasn't able to get to know her mother-in-law personally but the pictures she saw before shows her that. Helen of the present looks like the one in the pictures.But one that baffles her is why she only resurfaced after the death of Joshua. Truly if she is indeed the true Helen Hayes. She would have let her presence felt knowing that the things she was accused of were untrue."You know Jon, maybe it's about time we look deeper into the dissapearance of Helen Hayes.""Where are we going to start?" Jonathan asked."I have an idea. We need the help of Tristan." She replied."Why do you need those files Athena?" Tristan asked. He got hold o

How is Anthony he's not with you?"

She apologized but Nicole noticed the way she talk but she didn't put a weight on it. "Anthony is not with me I came alone." She replied."That's a pity the twins are missing their uncle Tony. You know how much he dotes on them." Anna smiled but there was a subtle expression of displeasure on her face that didn't escape Nicole. There must something going on with the couple, which she felt she must not pry except when she would be confided with."What brought you to Santa Elena, Anna. New busin
"Who is Annatalia George?" Bianca asked her mother is a very manipulative and vindictive person. Annatalia must have unintentionally cross her mother, or she is a wealthy person that Helen's attention was caught. " She is close to Nicole's family. She is rich and a very impressionable person. Easy to manipulate.plus she has a very very lovable husband.""Mom how could you? Is husband stealing is one of your achievement these days?"
