I'll join you later," She whispered, pressing her lips against the corner of his mouth.He pulled her back down as she tried to rise, kissing her on the lips."Don't be naughty," she gave him a stern look while her lips pressed against his as she cupped his cheek."Why can't I be naughty when you can?"

Inside Marissa's Heart 23. Butterfly Gift
"Marissa, please wait. I want to talk to you," Juan uttered those words while keeping up with Marissa's quick speed as she darted out of the hospital. He positioned himself in front of her, a human roadblock. "Seriously..." he began. "Ohh, big brother," she teased. "Just listen to me," he demanded. "I guess you didn't find time to tell her because of Danna. Many things are happening right now, Juan. Danna was able to sketch Daniel with the help of Carlos because he has been chasing her for a few days. And we figured out that Daniel has at least raped a third of the girls in the town. I know we are going through a lot, but tell me when are you breaking up with her? Don't worry; you can end things with her when Danna is discharged. I am sorry for the way I reacted, my love."

She looked up and asked, "What are you doing here?" "I am here to see you," he said. Turning towards him, she expressed, "Juan, you know you shouldn't be here. You should be with Daniella; she needs you." "I know. Anyway, from today, we are not going to see each other here." he stated. "I know... because I know why you gave me the necklace, Juan. It's a butterfly necklace, freeing me from whatever we had. I am okay with it because I don't want to see someone suffer or die because of me," she said. "But you should know one thing-I will never forget about you, Juan. You can free yourself from me, but you can't erase my feelings for you from my heart." Juan nodded. "I am sorry, Marissa.

After finishing her examination of Daniella in Juan's room, Dr. Santos took a moment to look at the eager faces of everyone present. With a smile, she broke the silence, saying, "Congratulations, there's going to be another Valiente." Daniella, thrilled, held Juan's hand tightly, exchanging smiles. Despite any worries, Juan managed to grin, hugging Daniella as they both realized they were going to be parents.

Inside Marissa's Heart 27. Shattered Reflections
Weeks pass by in the unstoppable flow of time, like grains of sand caught in the violent grip of a desert storm Lost in thought, Marissa stared at the walls of her room, silent observers of the turmoil that had occurred since Juan picked Daniella over her, even though Marissa was the one who told the truth. Rosario entered the room, her voice full of maternal concern. "Marissa, are you okay? Why have you been distant?" She queried, worry lines wrinkling her brow. "I am fine, Mother.

Daniella walked towards Marissa, stirring trouble with a taunting remark. "You won't ever change, will you?" she questioned. "I'm not looking for your trouble, Daniella. Why don't you leave me alone?" Marissa responded, walking away from the unwelcome confrontation. With a sly smile, Daniella headed towards Juan's office, making herself at home by sitting on his desk.
