"I can't believe how naive she is Jon!" Athena was fuming with anger.at the same time she pitied Nicole. "You must understand her father raised her that way, It's a good thing she is able to run her business successfully. That is already an indication that there is hope for her to break out of that shell she was molded in." Jonathan explain."You know what Jon? If we didn't send Morgana to assist her I don't know. She might have been taken advantage of. She may not be able to be where she is now.""All I can say is that She takes after you. You were just like her now when I found you." Athena smiled as she recalled herself before she met Jonathan.Athena's memories.Athena was adopted from an orphanage where she was found in the gates of the place.

Ginger promised that no one will know if Nicole won't allow it.While Athena recounted what Nicole's purpose in speaking with Emma."That is totally impossible Ma'am there is no way that anyone was able to take advantage of her.

Athena insisted."One hundred and one percent." She replied"Good keep up the good job and carry on your mission." Athena ordered.

He threw the paper back at her."Who said I want a divorce? Did you read the documents clearly. Even the heading alone will tell you that you assumption is wrong!" She realized that Tristan had not read the documents. Mixed emotion was written all over her face. She doesn't know if she will be amused, be suspicious that he all along thought that their marriage is to be ended, or to be pissed of with him for not reading the result, that it spoiled her surprised. "What? You don't?" He pick up the documents as Nicole turn to leave him, pondering on what he had done. In his haste to reject whatever he thought she is proposing, he blindly toss the paper without reading."Goodness!" He realize his mistake after he read the document. "Nicole! Sweetheart wait!"

But for now he must show his lovely wife how much he miss her.'Sweetheart about we go on a honeymoon trip?" He asked sheepishly."Honeymoon trip? Don't you think it's a little bit too late for that?" Nicole declared she still had a lot of things to do to catch up with her absence. She knows that he is also busy rebuilding the trust of his investor and the company's net worth."There's nothing too late for anything to set your mind at ease and that I miss you so much and I want to show you that you and the kids are the most important priority in my life." Aaww...! that is so sweet of you hubby." She was touched."Then show me how sweet it is Sweetheart." He grin naughtily.

Although Tristan constantly were on the phone to attend to his obligation to his company, he makes sure that Nicole dominated his attention.Every night they talk to the twins. Jacob made sure that they were guided very well to achieved their goal that is to know what the twins like when they grew up. But then Nicole already knew that her kids have different likes. Moira is into fashion designing just like herself and Mark is into computers.Nicole Is so grateful to Tristan for taking her to this paradise island where all the tension and fear of the recent days ease her feelings, she relax under the breeze of the sea under the cloudy sky. All her worries just fades into a unwelcome memory.But their sweet and blissful honeymoon was cut short when Jacob contact them that there was an attempt on the twins. "How are they?" Nicole is worried of what will be the effects on their emotional stability."I'm sorry Sweetheart, I didn

On the way Mark keep reminding his sister that Adonis is already waiting for them."It's totally alright Mark it would just be for a while we will just be with her so that she will be safe from those bullies." Moira defended."Do you think that we will be able to shield her from those bullies? We are just Kids not strong enough to fight them off!" Mark is getting impatient with his sister's tenacity."We have training in self defense Mark, we just cannot leave a helpless girl to fend for her own." Moira made her brother regret his indifference towards the girl.Too late they were so engrosed n their bickering to observed that they were heading on the wrong direction, they were heading to the back exit of the school. The students were prohibited on the area because it lead to a forested place, it is under developed because it is home to some wild animals further more there s
Nicole and Tristan arrived in Santa Elena after they cut short their honeymoon trip."Where are my babies?" Nicole cry out to the people who are monitoring the developments on the field."Sweetheart, calm down they are doing their best to locate our children." "Locate? What do mean by locate?" Nicole's voice crack with fear."When Adonis realized that the children took longer to appear at the gate he alerted the body guards, they entered the school grounds and tracked them. but they were located at the exit of the school that was restricted due to safety issues."Tristan explained."...and?'"I'm sorry Sweetheart they tracked the kids location. But the place is forested and there's no signal. They lost them, that's why they are searching the place to locate them.""Honey my babies...." Nicole start getting emotional once more."Our babies, I am worrying about them too but our worries will not help to find them." He reminded her to making her realized they were both in the same po

Mark advice his sister. Move closer to hug her."Is that a White lion? I thought it is a tiger." Moira is in awe watching the creature." Look at its head and tail it is definitely a White Lion. Their species are gentle and pets to human but their numbers are dwindling.""But look at the baby Lion it looks like Simba of the Lion King.""All cubs look alike they develop character when they grow older." Mark said. Moira knew that her twin got this information while browsing the internet so she don't dare contradict."Look at the mother she look so weak and in pain."'"Yes, the kidnappers probably shot him.""Him are you sure it is a he?' So It is not it's mother? "I didn't see another lion. Yes it maybe the father of that cub." The cub was contentedly dozing at Moira's lap. "Where is the mo
"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. But she can still feel that she is being pulled from the car, she heard voices from people sw
"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
"It's good to see you Nicole. How are the twins?" Anna greeted Nicole when they meet each other at a jewelry store. They decided to catch up with each other over a cup of coffee."It's good see you too Anna. Me and the kids are doing well. Tristan too he's busy at work. How about you ? How is Anthony he's not with you?" She asked casually so as not to intimidate Anna as if she knew nothing about Anthony's complain about her."Sorry we weren't able to attend the christening of your baby girl." 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?" Bianca had been always opposed to her mother's plans of revenge mainly because she knows she is not a Blackburn. Her father was brutally murdered because of her mother's betrayal. While she was brought to hiding under a different identity for her own protection.Her mother Jesicca Blackburn became Rosanna Alano. A woman who befriended her in her lowest point fleeing the wrath of the Blackburn family. She took advantage of the woman's innocence of her true nature.

She is baffled she had witness the affection of the couple that it's hard to believe that any disagreement will separate them."I don't think so?" He replied."Then why?""That is the hardest thing to answer and I also cannot understand why?" Nicole raise her brows inquiring at the same time confused.. " Anthony said that they both met an accident , as they were always traveling together. That was before the christening.""So that's the reason why they weren't able to attend the invite. But why didn't they notify us?""Because Anthony was in coma. When he woke up from unconsciousness. His wife is missing and haven't visited him while he is confined . When he was discharged he search for her, he even notified the police. They search other places including clinics hospitals even nearby places where the accid
"Helen is not actually your grandmother." Tristan revealed."Tristan!" Jacob reacted "What? What do you mean? If she's not my grandmother then who is she. Why did she have to pose as my grandmother. The pictures... I can't believe it.""You heard me right sweetheart. She is not related to you.""How did you know it? You're not pulling my leg Tristan? This is not funny." She warned."You're right this is not a child's play. How did I know it? Let me tell you a story." He said after shaking his head in denial with her accusation."Tristan, son this is not the right time." Jacob advice."Grandpa, I might as well enlightened her. Because I have been carrying this in my chest for so long that it bothers me. Besides my love I think that you should know the truth to avoid being betrayed once more." He turn to Nicole after replying to his grandfather."Then enlightened me..." She challenged but a bit intrigued to what Tristan has to say."Helen is not your grandmother. At least not the Hele

She is indignant that Tristan will attempt to make a move behind her back."Sweetheart, it's not that I single out Helen. But in the long run you will learn why I'm doing it.""Then tell me now! Don't keep me in suspense." Her anger has not yet dose off."Nikki my dear, there is just things that we thought that you are not ready to know. I myself would like to let you know of a big secret but that is depends on what your response might be."

I have the right to know, don't you think. it's my life." She said emotionally."What do you want to know?" Jacob asked gently."I want to know why Tristan is pinning my grandmother? Is there something that I don't know? I mean she must have done w
