"Hotel Filipina" "Sec. Donna, I'll take care of him. Tell Mama that I'm with Lejandro and we're going to Hotel Filipina!" said Elijah/Raquel. "Are you sure about what you're doing, Ma'am Elijah?! Won't this put you in danger?!" "Don't worry about me, Donna. Everything will be fine. I'll explain everything when I return tomorrow." "Okay... Go ahead and leave. Someone might see you with Lejandro. Take care on your trip..." After saying that, Donna got into her car. But the two were puzzled as to why Elijah didn't enter the car. "Wait a minute! Why are we leaving without Elijah?!" Lejandro suddenly asked. "Uhmmm... Don't ask anymore, Ernesto. This is Ma'am Elijah's personal life, and we're not part of it," Donna said seriously. "Uhmmm! Aren’t Elijah and I going to be husband and wife?!" Ernesto asked quietly. "Crazy! That marriage is fake! It was just a setup." "Do you expect that marriage to become real?!" Donna asked, raising an eyebrow. "Whahahahaha! Me... Hope
Uhm... What do you even know about me?!" "Why did you say real if it's husband?" "Do you know anything about me when we’ve just met now?!" Lejandro asked Raquel/Elijah. ("Sh*t! I asked the wrong question," Elijah thought to himself.) "I mean, why would your husband leave you?! That’s what I meant to say. I don’t really know anything about you! You were the one who said we just met now. So what would I even know, right?!" "Unless you decide to share your life story." "I have no intention of telling anyone my life story—or what's happening in my family, especially to people I don't even know," Lejandro said seriously. "Ooops...!" "Easy! Easy, bro," Drew stepped in, trying to calm Lejandro and Raquel, as Raquel was about to speak. "It's okay!" Lejandro quickly replied. Just then, Lejandro’s phone vibrated, and he immediately grabbed it. It was the Doña on the other end of the line. "Drew, I have to leave you here for a while," Lejandro said as he stood up. "Why? Where are y
"Wooohhoooo! Yoooohhhooowww!" Ernesto shouted repeatedly while dancing under the booming disco music. Sec. Donna was watching him and laughing hard at what she was seeing. “Who would’ve thought that a crazy guy like this could actually make me smile,” Donna said to herself. “Is this your first time experiencing something like this?!” Donna shouted at Ernesto because they couldn’t hear each other inside Levi Disco. Sec. Donna also noticed that Ernesto kept dancing out of sync with the music. “Isn’t it obvious?! This is my first time in a place like this!!” “Woooowh!” Ernesto shouted back at Donna. While Donna and Ernesto were busy dancing with the crowd... Karen was shouting from a distance, squeezing her way through the people just to reach them. “ERNESTOoooooooooh!” Karen shouted loudly, but the music, yelling, and laughter of the people enjoying themselves inside Levi Disco were still louder. Karen didn’t give up and shouted again: “ERNESToooooooo!” she cried out. “We ha
"Mama Bora..." “Are you really sure you'll be the one to look after baby Lucifer for now?” Elijah asked shyly. “I really didn’t want to go with them. But Ernesto insisted. I didn’t want to turn him down… What if, if I say no, he runs away from our wedding—well, our fake wedding,” Elijah explained, clearly embarrassed. “Whahaha!” Madam Bora laughed and said, “Ernesto is kind. That’s why I already treat him like my own son. He won’t let you down at your wedding,” she said with a smile. A few hours later... Only two hours to go before it strikes nine in the evening—their scheduled time to head to Leva Disco. Meanwhile, Lejandro was on his way out of the mansion, heading to Drew’s condo. He planned for the two of them to go to Leva Disco together. Doña Donita had no idea Lejandro had left. He didn’t inform her before leaving. Doña Donita and Furtiza Monteroso (a.k.a. Elijah) were patiently waiting inside the storage room where old, unused but still valuable items were kept. “This
"What sin have I committed against my wife?! This is unacceptable! There’s no forgiveness for the sins I’ve done to my beloved wife!" "And what’s worse—I drove her away, just like I did with the child I believed to be my own. I need to find my wife and my child. I won’t stop until I find them—especially my real wife. I will beg for her forgiveness, even if she gets angry or curses me. I’ll accept everything—everything—just to be forgiven by my wife." Lejandro said sorrowfully, his eyes swollen from crying. Yet he had no intention of stopping his tears. Suddenly, he heard his mother's voice. "Where is Lejandro?!" exclaimed Doña Donita at the door of Lejandro’s room when she saw Emily there. "D-Doña Donita?! You’re already here!" Emily said, startled. "Why? What are you doing here? Why are you just standing there and not knocking on my son’s door? Do you have something to say to him or are you doing something inappropriate?!" The Doña asked angrily. "No, of course not! I’m here
Madam Bora was deep in thought after hearing what Elijah said. She immediately asked herself, “Did I really hear Elijah say that? Could he just be confused by everything that’s happening, and that’s why he wants to marry Ernesto?” wondered Madam Bora. “Are you sure about what you're saying, Elijah?! That’s quite a shocking thing to say. Aren’t you thinking of going back to your former husband?!" “I’m not saying you should get back with him. But shouldn’t you at least see him and find out what really happened on your wedding day?” said Madam Bora to Elijah. “It’s not that I don’t want to know the reason, Mama. I just want him to experience what he made me go through—to feel pain, to be cast aside, to be pushed away like I wasn’t even his wife!” I was shaking with anger at my husband, especially at the woman who destroyed my relationship with Lejandro. “I know, hija… Wouldn’t it be better if you could take your husband back from that deceitful Elijah? Because if you don’t, that w
