LOGIN“Elijah, do you know anything about what’s happening?!” Lejandro’s face was serious as he asked those words. “I don’t know anything!” “Go to Tiffani, and I’ll follow Mom!” Lejandro said. He then left Elijah at the mansion. Elijah immediately called Erick. “Hello, Erick! Hurry! Go to Mountain Road now! Watch for Donya Donita’s car! Do whatever you want with her! I just want her gone from my sight!” Elijah ordered. “Uhmmmm…” Erick replied with a long sigh. Elijah noticed it right away and snapped, “Fine! I’ll come to you tomorrow morning!” His shout made Erick quickly answer, “Yes,” and he immediately left to go after Donya Donita. Meanwhile, Raquel’s car was behind the police vehicle that was chasing Donya Donita. “Atty. Donna, let’s stop following her. I know the police will catch her. What we need to do now is expose Elijah—that he is not the real Elijah and that he is the child of Dony—” “Bhhhaaaaggg! Bllllluuuuuuggg!” A series of loud crashes echoed along the Mountain Roa
“What?” How could you not contact us, when we’ve been waiting for your call for a long time, Mom? You didn’t even call us once,” Lejandro said, clearly doubtful, especially after the Boraque family filed a case against his mother. “Lejandro! I don’t have time now to argue with you. I’m here to get money to add to the medicines they’re buying for your father. They’re extremely expensive!” Donita said. “What the—” Ring… ring… ring…! The telephone rang inside the Ferman Mansion. “I’ll answer it,” Lejandro quickly said, because he had really been waiting for a call from a detective he had spoken with a long time ago. “Hello,” Lejandro answered. “Sir Lejandro, is this you?” “Yes, it’s me. How are you?” “It’s a long story, sir. Could we talk privately—where no one can hear us, not even your mother?” “Huh?! Why?” the detective suddenly said, making Elijah and Donita look at him. “Honey, I’m just going outside. What my friend and I will talk about is important,” Lejandro said goodb
“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 disappear from our lives!” Elijah said angrily while staring at the ceiling of their room. While thinking about where to start looking for her mother. “Why are you still awake? What’s bothering you, honey?” Lejandro asked gently, though inside he was filled with fear and anxiety because of the disappearance of their child, Lucifer. “Go to sleep, honey. We’re leaving early tomorrow to look for Lucifer. But before that, I still need to go to Raquel to talk to her and continue the lawsuit,” she said. “Are you sure you’ll continue the case against Raquel?” Lejandro asked. “Yes! Our child is important, Lejandro! So you can’t change my mind,” Elijah replied. After that, silence ruled between the tw
“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, who is said to be the child of you and Ma’am Elijah, is missing due to an accident. There was a collision on the highway near Filipina Restaurant, and we are currently looking for the dump truck that hit the vehicle carrying your child.” “We suspect that the same dump truck that hit the car of Ma’am Karen Ramirez is also the one that took Lucifer Boraque!” “WHAT?! HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?!” Lejandro shouted in a loud voice. Elijah suddenly came out and said, “Who is Karen Ramirez?! I don’t believe my child would just disappear like that! He was only with that Raquel earlier—how did my CHILD disappear?!” Elijah shouted angrily. “Ma’am, it was Raquel’s maid who was with the child. We already br
“I’ve already done what you asked me to do. When are you coming here to the abandoned building?” the man on the other line asked. But Elijah ignored the question and instead said— “Where is the child?” “Is he still alive, or already dead?” Elijah asked. As she spoke, she thought to herself: (What do you take me for, Lejandro? Do you think I’d allow your real son to stay in that mansion? You’re mistaken. I only did all of this to make Raquel look even worse in your eyes.) Elijah smiled to herself while listening to the man on the other end of the line. “The child is still alive. But I don’t know how long he’ll last. It looks like he hit his head badly, so he still hasn’t regained consciousness,” the man replied. “So what do you want me to do with the kid? Do you want me to finish him off, or bury him alive?” “No! Watch your mouth, Erick. You’re being too brutal,” Elijah snapped. “Don’t worry. I’ll be sending a doctor there from Doque Hospital. I may be evil, but I still have
“What kidnapping are you talking about? My child, Lucifer, was not kidnapped!” Raquel said firmly. “He is truly my son, and I am truly his mother. You have no right to accuse us like that and disturb us during our own family dinner. What kind of nonsense is this?!” Raquel remained calm as she continued eating the food she had ordered. (“What I feared the most has finally happened! This is exactly what I was afraid would happen to my child. You are so cruel, Lejandro!”) Raquel thought to herself as she struggled to calm down. Meanwhile, Lucifer could not understand what was happening, although he did know what the word “kidnapped” meant. “I’m very sorry, ma’am. They suddenly entered, and no matter how much I tried to stop them, they wouldn’t listen,” the waitress said apologetically. “Don’t worry. You may go now,” Raquel replied, then turned to the two prosecutors/police officers. “Have a seat and join us for dinner.” “We are not here to—” “I know you’re not here to eat. So wher
