LOGIN“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
“For what reason? What are you two going to talk about? Why do I have to leave when you can talk while I’m here? Is there something I shouldn’t know?” Raquel asked, her voice filled with confusion and doubt at that moment. “Uhmmm… Don’t think that way, my wife. I’m just worried… Claveria might wake up,” Lejandro replied. Alexander suddenly cut in, irritation evident in his voice. “I-it’s fine with me if you stay, Ma’am. But just like your husband said—your child might wake up,” he said, unable to hide the anger in his tone. “Ah, yes… I’m sorry. I’ll go now,” Raquel said reluctantly, though she didn’t want to lose sight of the young man. She felt as if there was a blood connection between them. But she didn’t want to reveal that to Lejandro since he still didn’t know that her memories had already returned. After a few moments, the two men were left outside the gate. Meanwhile, not too far away, a pair of eyes continued to secretly watch them—quietly taking photos and sending a mes
Raquel slowly stood up, carefully removing Lejandro’s arms wrapped around her body, making sure not to create any sound that might wake him. And she succeeded in escaping his embrace—gently, without leaving any trace of disturbance. She immediately walked toward the window of their room. From there, she saw a young man still sitting on his motorcycle—silent, as if he had been waiting for a long time. As Raquel watched the young man, she felt a deep sense of unease—like she might know the boy standing in front of the Boraque Mansion. Her heart started beating rapidly. It felt as if a long-hidden memory was slowly awakening in her mind. "What is this feeling? I can’t explain it, but there’s something strange that I feel. It’s like a force is pulling me back to my past." As Raquel stared at the young man, he was also looking at her—the same boy who had been outside the mansion for quite some time. The shock was evident in the young man’s eyes when he realized that the woman peekin
"If only I had known that he would be the one to find that necklace..." I paused for a moment in the middle of my walk. I couldn’t stop myself from clenching my fists. I could clearly feel my heart beating fast—not because of nervousness, but because of fear. Fear that he might uncover the secret I’ve been hiding from the world for so long. That necklace… it isn’t just a piece of jewelry or an ordinary accessory. It is the last memory I have of my mother before she disappeared. As Alexander was thinking about the first step he should take to retrieve the necklace, the woman he considered his mother—the one who helped him when he was on the brink of death—stared at him absentmindedly. "Alexander, you seem to be thinking deeply. Maybe I can help." That’s why I need to get that necklace before he manages to open it. "If you need help, I’m here," his adoptive mother said. But Alexander knew that no matter how much he trusted the couple, he still needed to take matters into his own
Raquel stood alone in their room, gazing out at the land of the Boraques. The vast grounds were bathed in the soft light of the full moon, illuminating the beautiful gardens and the expansive estate. But… how could I enjoy this beauty, this serene environment, when my eldest child is gone? she murmured, her eyes meeting those of her youngest child with Lejandro. “Why did this happen?! Why is it that the one I hated most of all is the one who has returned to my life! Is fate orchestrating all of this, or has he planned everything for his own desire?” she said calmly and gently, though her heart was full of anger and frustration toward Lejandro. A knock on the door pulled Raquel from her deep, emotional thoughts, leaving her alone in the vast room with only Baby Claveria by her side. Raquel walked slowly toward the door, each step tinged with anxiety. Little did Lejandro know, her memories had returned. She didn’t know how she would face him. In the quiet of the night, every sound
The burned corpse from the car explosion driven by Leah was sent to Bulusan Village, where the people who took care of Leah lived. “What’s that? A funeral service?” “Who died at Aling Bora’s place? Oh my, this is so shocking!” People outside their homes whispered while waiting for the couple,
“W-Why is it that just when your return as Elijah is near, something like this happens to you?! What are they planning to do to you, Leah? How did you get into an accident?! Who is behind this?!” Drewf exclaimed in disbelief while watching Leah. But Leah didn’t answer. She simply lay there, think
“Uhmmm... Detective, any updates on what I asked you to do? Have you found any information?” asked Doc Juarez to his subordinate, Detective Raffael. “Yes, sir. But for now, I still need to gather enough evidence before I can say if that person is really your child.” “R-Really? So, does that mean
“Who’s that?!” asked the Doña. “Ahm… it’s me, Madam, Leah. I just wanted to ask if Ma’am Elijah is there. Señor Lejandro is asking for her.” “Oh, is that so... Tell your Señor Lejandro that we’re discussing something important.” “But… Señor might get mad. Baby Lucifer is crying. He might be hung
