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.

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. "Hello, my love," she greeted, bending to kiss him as he reciprocated the affection. * * * As dinner time arrived, Marissa made her way to the dining table, and a warm smile lit up Rosario's face.
