"At Hacienda Ferman."

"Elijah! Carry these bales of hay and store them in the horses' feeding area! they need to be organized, no mess allowed!" brother Ernes commanded him.

"Yes, Brother Ernes," Elijah immediately replied.

He watched as lejandro helped Furtiza mount the white horse.

"He has the audacity to steal my husband I hope you fall off that horse!" Elijah muttered angrily as he organized the horses' feed at the hacienda.

He couldn't understand how everyone, including Furtiza, had forgotten about his marriage to lejandro. "They're all traitors! They don't even recognize me as lejandro's wife! How could this happen? It feels like I'm just dreaming about our wedding from the past few days.

But I won't let him get away with this! I know something is wrong, but I don't know what to do," Elijah said sadly.

Meanwhile, the Donya was shouting inside their mansion, searching for Elijah.

"ELIJAH! ELIJAH..." she called out loudly, making sister Leonora jump.

"What is it, Senorita ?" the housekeeper asked.

"Where is Elijah?" she demanded.

"He's at Hacienda Ferman, Senorita Donita. Btother Ernes, following Ma'am Furtiza's orders, told him to carry the bales of hay for the horses' feed."

"Is that so? Go find her and bring him back here! He needs to iron my dress, hurry because I have somewhere to be!"

"I'll do it, Donya Donita. He might not be finished with his task."

"Ahmmm! Hurry, I want elijah to do it!" the Donya said angrily.

Elijah watched as lejandro and Furtiza rode off, their affection obvious.

"This scene is breaking my heart! It can't go on like this. But what can I do? I have no allies in the mansion, everyone in the hacienda is on the Donya's side."

"BOOOM!" Bernard suddenly appeared behind elijah, startling Elijah out of his thoughts.

"Hi beautiful! What are you doing?" Bernard asked.

"Is it obvious? I'm carrying bales of hay for the horses' feed! Get out of my way.

lejandro might see you and think I'm with another man."

"Huhuhu! You're so silly, Elijah! Out of all the men you could fantasize about, you choose lejandro, who's already married.

I'm right here, ready to marry you in any church you want," Bernard said with a smile.

"You're crazy! You know I'm married, right? You're just pretending not to know.

But please, Bernard, I hope you'll change your mind and help me solve this problem," Elijah said seriously.

"ELIJAH! You're gossiping again! Hurry, the Donya is looking for you!" Manang Leonora shouted.

Elijah immediately stood up, leaving his task unfinished.

Bernard shook his head as he walked towards Furtiza. lejandro had left for a while, riding around the hacienda.

"Plaaaak" "Plaaaakkk" "Plaaaak" Bernard clapped his hands as he approached Furtiza.

Furtiza narrowed her eyes and said, "What are you doing? Why are you clapping?"

"You're so clever! I'm impressed by your intelligence, Furtiza.

Who would have thought that you'd end up with the man every woman craves, the one everyone fights over? And the worst part is, he's already married! You snatched him!" Bernard cackled.

"SHUT YOUR MOUTH!" Furtiza yelled angrily.

"Someone might hear you! Elijah might be around and hear what you're saying! Leave if you have nothing nice to say!"

"Ooooohhh! Don't get mad, Furtiza. Don't worry about lejandro, he's my friend too," Bernard said calmly.

"Stop it! My husband is coming!" Furtiza said.

"HUSBAND! You're really serious, huh?

Go ahead, keep doing what you're doing, because I'm going to win Elijah's heart too!

I know he'll love me one day," Bernard said softly to Furtiza.

"That's why you need to hurry before lejandro remembers Elijah!" she added.

"BERNARD...!" Have you been here all this time?

Come with me, let's go riding. My wife doesn't want to ride because she's afraid of falling off the horse. Whahaha," lejandro said to Bernard with a playful grin.

"Sure, let's go!" Bernard replied quickly.

"Honey, aren't you tired of riding already? This is our honeymoon, where should we go tonight to celebrate our honeymoon? Furtiza asked sweetly.

"Honey, where would you like to go?" lejandro asked.

"Can we just stay here at the mansion, honey? Furtiza said with a mischievous smile.
