"Daddy look at how huge Snow has become!"

Thinking about it. it might be true that Moira saw Helen. But why did she retreat.She wonder if Mark really saw Athena, she knows that Athena was in the area. But what could be the reason she hurriedly left. No matter what she had said that she was with the other group it cannot deny the fact that Mark heard her ordered her men to refrain from shooting.

"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.

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?"

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

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."

"You mean to say that you decided to drop all charges against that woman, just so you could have enough evidence to nail my grandmother to imprisoned her?" 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 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
"Are you sure about it grandma?" Helen and Terence were discussing some procedures she is willing to undergo."Of course! It's not that I haven't done it before." She replied enthusiastically."Grandma you have done it too many times I'm afraid that there will come a time that me myself won't be able to recognize you. There is still be a consideration if you will be able to pull out your new identity."Don't you worry about me. I am a good actress , remember? Just keep that woman hidden and don't let her escape until I will be successful in my mission. Besides if I have to change my appearance, to avoid being caught, it should be put into good use. Just remember all of the things I do is for your sake." She told Terence."After the surgery, Helen Hayes will be a memory only to the people who are closely related to her. Ha ha ha ha! And a new chapter is about to begin. I welcome myself back to the lives of Nicole and her children."Their evil laugher mingled together creating an
"How did it go grandpa?" Tristan asked his grandfather."As expected she took the bait. She had no choice. I told her you're not interested anymore." The old man replied."Good I think we can find something in her confession to reopen Helen's case." Tristan replied. He had asked his grandfather to faced Sam. Knowing that she will feel anxious to cooperate, because he is not interested in her cooperation."Look Tristan are you sure we are doing the right thing?" "What do you mean grandpa. Do you doubt this move?" Tristan suddenly asked his grandpa if he had a change of heart. He knows how much he dislike Samantha."There's nothing I wouldn't do for Nicole and your children. But to help that woman to avoid serving her penalty. She might turn her back to us Nicole especially. We all know how much she hates your wife." Jacob explained.""We are dropping the charge that involves the embezzlement, and some minor charges. But the capital crimes like attempted kidnapping and the present as
