LOGIN"In an unexpected turn of events, Claveria secretly followed her without Raquel noticing. Thinking Claveria was safely inside their car, Raquel confidently left her there." But her child had quietly followed her, completely unnoticed. This led Baby Claveria to see and hear what her mother did to the woman who looked just like her. "Mom... you’re amazing! Hahaha!" Claveria laughed loudly, as if she were just playing or joking with her mother. Raquel burst into laughter at her child’s words; her irritation and shock from her sudden appearance faded for a moment. After that, silence suddenly replaced Raquel’s laughter. Raquel calmed down slightly and said, "What are you doing here, Baby Claveria?! Didn’t I tell you not to leave the car, because it’s dangerous?!" Raquel asked, surprise evident in her eyes, though she was already smiling again because she couldn’t bring herself to get angry at her child. She simply scratched her head at what her child said. She decided to just go al
Raquel tightly gripped Claveria’s hand. She couldn’t help tightening her hold on her child’s hand after the sudden encounter with the woman who stole the father of her family. “Ouch! Mom, that hurts…” Baby Claveria complained sharply, her eyes already filling with tears from the pain she felt. “Ooopppppssss… sorry, Baby Claveria. I didn’t mean to. I didn’t mean to hurt you, my dear child!” Raquel said in shock as she immediately loosened her grip and gently rubbed the soft, small hand she had hurt. Because Raquel was busy comforting her child, she didn’t notice that Furtiza—who looked exactly like her—had already walked past them. Claveria suddenly lifted her gaze and frowned when she saw the mother and daughter passing in front of them. “Mom…” Claveria called out to the woman who passed by them. Shock was evident in her eyes as she kept glancing between her mother and the woman who looked exactly like her. Confusion spread across Claveria’s face as she stared at the woman who loo
“Has the Ferman Hacienda gone bankrupt? Is that why even their mansion in Velegas was sold to the Monteroso family? And how did Donita Monteroso come into such wealth, when we all know they used to be poor? Then again, many years have passed. Perhaps Donita has already married someone wealthy after all this time,” replied Mr. Ramonza. “That would be better, my wife, if it is Donita Monteroso whom I find in the Ferman mansion. They still owe us a debt that must be paid. Remember, that house is mine, my dear. Tomorrow morning, I will go there myself. Get some rest for now—I’ll take care of everything. It’s still early, and you can sleep a bit longer. As for me, I’ll go jogging so I don’t fall asleep and to build up some energy,” Mr. Ramonza said with a smile. Meanwhile, the Ferman family woke up early in the Boraque mansion after the events that took place in their own mansion the night before. The next morning, Raquel woke up early. Lejandro and Claveria were also awake. “Good morn
Tiffani swallowed hard as she listened to what her parents were saying. She couldn’t tell whether she should feel afraid or pity for the situation of her first love. “But I don’t want my parents to look bad in Alexander’s eyes either,” Tiffani thought. Slowly, she stepped out of her hiding place, pretending to yawn, making it seem like she had just woken up because of the noise her parents were making. “What time is it?” Tiffani asked while yawning, acting as if she had just woken up, trying to hide the anxiety in her chest. Her parents turned to look at her, both startled by her sudden appearance. It was obvious from their faces that they had been arguing. “What is this, Tiffani!” her mother immediately shouted, clearly startled and irritated. “This isn’t the time for you to interrupt!” “That’s enough, Furtiza! What does Tiffani know about this?” Erick cut in, trying to restrain the situation. “Go back to your room for now. Your mother and I still have something to discuss,” E
“What’s happening?! Why won’t the car start?! Hurry up! Mr. Ferman is almost here!” The stranger was already panicking because he could clearly see that Lejandro was about to reach their vehicle. “This SUV of yours must already be junk!” one of them complained. “Get out of there! I’ll do it!” the stranger snapped at his companion. The stranger quickly took the driver’s seat and tried to start the engine. After several tense seconds filled with anxiety and sweat, the vehicle finally started. The SUV sped away. At the same time, his cellphone rang. Lejandro stopped running, gasping for breath. There was nothing he could do anymore because the man had already managed to start their old SUV. Lejandro could only watch the vehicle disappear into the distance while trying to suppress the anger he felt toward himself. “You’ll have your day. But for now, I need to go back to my wife. Who knows what might have already happened to her,” Lejandro said, still catching his breath. Meanwhil
"Give back the necklace that belongs to me," Alexander said calmly, yet with certainty, to Lejandro. "Take it and open the clasp in front of me so I can be sure that you are truly the owner of this necklace!" "Uhmmm! How am I supposed to open that clasp? No matter how many times you try to force it open, it won’t work. I hope my excuse works so I can leave this place," Alexander thought to himself. "No matter what you do or what I do, Mister—it won’t open," he insisted. Lejandro stared directly at the young man while thinking, Is this kid fooling me? Or does this clasp really not open? Uhmm… He slightly frowned, as if trying to read the intentions of the person in front of him through every movement and word. But before he could process his doubts, Alexander suddenly spoke again. His voice was firm, yet carried a hint of nervousness, interrupting Lejandro’s thoughts and pulling his attention back to the present. "It’s already late for someone like me, a young man. Why don’t you j
“A police officer went to the Ferman Mansion and reported the accident.” “Good evening, sir. We’re sorry for disturbing you tonight. I would like to speak with Ma’am Elijah Ferman,” said a policeman. “Just tell me and I’ll relay it to my wife,” Lejandro said. “The child named Lucifer Boraque, w
“I need to look pitiful in Lejandro’s eyes and even in our child’s eyes, so I can make him believe that Raquel is the bad one and not me! But what will I do about the case Raquel filed against me? How did she find out that I’m Donita’s daughter?! That old woman is really a curse! She has to disappe
As the gate opened, no one expected Lejandro to suddenly block the entrance, causing Raquel’s car to stop abruptly, making her hit her forehead painfully against the steering wheel. “Ow!” Raquel cried out as she held her aching forehead. “We need to talk, Raquel!” Lejandro said loudly and serious
“Answer my call, Raquel… please!” Lejandro pleaded as he drove toward Madam Boraque’s mansion. He had already made 30 missed calls, but no matter what he did, Raquel did not answer his texts or calls. “Ma’am Raquel, won’t you answer? Your phone has been ringing nonstop,” Karen said. “Let him cal
