"Who is my Papa?!" Lucifer repeated the Donya’s question, then paused to think of what answer he should give her. "Uhm… don’t you know who my papa is yet?!" Lucifer asked the Donya. "You’re quite a playful child, aren’t you?" The Donya tried to keep her voice calm. "I’m the one asking who your papa is." "Hehehe, sorry! Guess who my papa is. He looks like me, and he’s handsome just like me," Lucifer said with a teasing smile. This made the Donya stop and think. She glanced toward the crowd, searching for Lucifer’s father. Among them, only Lejandro bore the closest resemblance to Lucifer, and this caught the Donya’s attention. "You naughty child! You even had me search for him!" "Lucifer! Let’s go inside," Sophia called out. Lucifer immediately went with his classmate, leaving the Donya with a huge riddle in her mind. --- 🎬 "Good evening, everyone! Attention, please…" Madam Bora spoke to all the guests present. She immediately captured everyone’s attention—especially Lejandr
"Happy Birthday, my dear child! This is my gift to you, my child," said Raquel while wearing a mask. "Mama, why are you wearing a mask on my birthday, Mama?" Lucifer asked. "Haha... Psssttt... Don’t be noisy, child. My face is a secret. I don’t want the men bothering me, my child. Do you want Mama to get married already?" her mother teased, leaning close to Lucifer’s ear and whispering, "Do you want to have a new Dad?" "Uhmmm, Mom..." Lucifer hesitated before saying, "I don’t want a new Dad until I get to know my old Dad, Mama." he said with a smile. "Hahaha! You’re such a jokester, child!" "Alright then, open your gifts and let’s see who has the best gift for your birthday," Raquel said with a smile. (Raquel was introduced by Elijah to his child to protect Lucifer from harm.) After a while, Doña Donita arrived with her husband, Don Ferman. "Papa! What happened to you? Why have you suddenly become so thin?" Lejandro asked with concern. "Uhmmm..." Doña replied, "Now is no
"Don’t worry about his illness yet, Roxane. What you need to focus on now is getting your face back, so you can return to your normal life, my child." "And I’ll take care of Doc Juarez. I’ll look after him once your normal life is restored," said her father, full of hope. "But, Papa... What if he finds out we’re deceiving him? He might chase us away, and that might not be the only consequence if he learns we’re lying to him, Papa." "Uhmmm... Child, I’ll handle everything. Go to the plastic surgery clinic and schedule your operation so you can immediately go back to the province and continue your life there with your mother!" her father said. Roxane said no more in response. Instead, she left Mr. Juarez behind, carrying the 20 million pesos intended by Mr. Juarez for her treatment. "Huhuhu! I’m sorry..." Roxane said as she walked away from the hospital where she left Mr. Juarez—who, coincidentally, was the first person Drewf visited there. Drewf saw Roxane but didn’t recognize h
"You've been staring at your phone for a while now!" "What's in that phone that you keep looking at? Are you waiting for a call?" the Donya asked irritably. "Turn your attention to the invitation from the Boraque family. And go change, because we're attending the event at Hotel Filipina!" "Uhmm! I don't have time for that, Mama! All I want is to get close to Lejandro again!" Furtiza/Elijah said with frustration. "Uhm! Are you still hoping your relationship with Lejandro will work out? Even though you don’t even want to know who your husband’s mistress is?! And besides, the Fermans are already struggling financially, so while there's still time, make a move and stay away from Lejandro." "What?! Why should I do that again?!" "Haven’t you heard? Their hacienda in America went bankrupt, and they’ve already sold it. And I’m annoyed at Lejandro’s father for deciding to sell our land abroad— He didn’t even tell us! He just makes decisions on his own," Donita said in annoyance. "Uh
Flashback: "Where is my Dad?! Is he still alive or already dead?!" Lucifer asked. "Are you tired of your Mom already?!" Raquel asked sadly. Present: "No! Mom!" "I just want to know if Dad is still alive. But it’s okay if you can’t answer that question. I don’t want to ruin this day either." "Remember, Mom... this is my 7th birthday! So please don’t be sad, Mama. And besides, I don’t even plan to meet Papa," he added. "I love you, Mama..." Lucifer said happily to his mom, hugging her tightly. "Uhm, what about Uncle Ernesto, Mama..." "Is Tito Ernesto coming today, Mama?" (Somehow, he had forgiven Ernesto, but they were no longer as close as they used to be.) "Of course, son. He’ll be here. Remember, it’s your birthday. I don’t want anything to ruin this day. So enjoy your day, son... and Happy Birthday!" Elijah replied with a warm smile. "You know, Ma... I want him to be my Dad." "Hahaha! Oh, you silly little boy. Go to your room now and wear your handsome outfit! Go on! Y
l"Hey! What’s that?" "Why are your cheeks turning red?! Oh my gosh!" "Haha! Don’t tell me you think I’m handsome, Nurse Karen?!" Ernesto asked with a grin. "Me?! Of course not..." "Yeah right... stop pretending. It’s written all over your cheeks!" "Oh whatever! Do my cheeks even have a face?!" Karen snapped. "Just kidding! Geez, you’re so serious." "Come on, let’s go out. I’m starving," Ernesto said with a smile. "Ughhhh!" "No thanks. You go ahead," Karen replied. She just watched Ernesto leave before talking to the man handling the documents. "All of these documents are real!" "Ughmmmm..." Meanwhile, in— -----America----- "Mr. Ferman, don’t you plan on telling your family what’s going on with you and the company? Maybe it’s better they know the situation before it’s too late." "No! Don’t tell my daughter about this. If possible, sell my hacienda here in America to save the company—and also to fund my long-term treatment." "But Don Ferman, once you do that, you won’
