"Is that really you, Nica?" Rita was still hesitant about the woman who introduced herself as her friend."Yes, I am. I gave you the name Tata."Eager to see her friend again, Rita immediately believed Danica. She said many things that proved she was Nica. Many introduced themselves to her back then after she made public about finding a friend. But none of them can say the same names. Only Danica matched as her lost friend.Ever since she met Danica, she had become part of her family. She was also happy because she liked her brother. But her older brother had no interest in her. She did everything to make her happy."Have you ever asked her something that only we know?" Nicole said to Rita when she didn't speak.Rita shook her head sadly in response. Because she believed her, she didn't think to ask her the thing that was the most secret between her and Nica back then."How can I be sure she didn't tell you the secret so you know that thing?" Rita was still not trusting her."Ask her,
"What did you do in Nicole's room?" Danica asked Rita intensely. She looked surprised to see her."Oh, I talked to her about Brother."Danica stared at her skeptically and she wasn't convinced."I caught them kissing.""What?!" Danica's eyes widened and she couldn't help but raise her voice."So I went to her room to tell her that Brother Steven only wants her body." Rita explained to her."The thickness of her face, really! She doesn't even respect me as your brother's fiancee!""Don't be angry, because of what I told her, she must have come to her senses."Danica smiled when she noticed the mischievous smile on Rita's lips. She put her arm on her shoulder and took her to her room."Do you think she finally realized that?" Danica asked Rita excitedly."With the thickness of her face, the truth won't get to her that easily. But I know her confidence has diminished." She answered confidently."I really love you, bestie!"Rita gazed sharply at Danica as she turned her back on her. She w
"How's everything going?" Danica asked Brando from the other line."Soledad will have a hard time because Steven himself filed the case against her for attempting to kill Nicole and the children.""Damn it! He'd rather believe that woman! I won't allow it!" Danica's anger towards Nicole grew."What do you plan now to do with Soledad, Ma'am?" Brando asked her."Wait for my call." Danica quickly turned off the phone and her sharp eyes focused in a corner.Rita felt like a thief who was afraid of being caught. She didn't know if Danica had seen her. But she made sure that she had left her hiding place before the woman looked in that direction."Are you leaving?" Rita asked Danica with a smile as she passed in front of her."Yes, I just have something important to do."Rita was unable to meet Danica's gaze. She was not the type of person to wear a mask and think of doing a bad thing to others. She also can't smile at someone she knew had done bad things to her family.Danica secretly smir
Danica felt the subtle coldness in Nicole's parents’ treatment of her when she visited them. She felt like she was going crazy because she felt that everyone around her had changed their opinion of her.Danica slumped on the sofa in her room. She was currently in her own house. She needed to think and figure out what everyone’s thinking about her. She drank alone because she seemed to be going crazy about many things. She could not accept that she would lose everything she had worked hard for. She can't lose the path to the life she wanted to have and the person she wanted to be with forever.Rita didn't know how long she had been outside the building where Danica's condominium was. Ever since she knew her true identity, she had always followed her. She called her because she was getting impatient, she still had to act like her friend so she wouldn’t suspect."Hello?" She did not bother to look at who the caller was."I was worried about you, so I called you."Danica smirked as she re
Rita was weeping silently from her confinement. She wanted to approach her niece who was crying in a corner, but couldn’t because she was tied up. Even her mouth was gagged, so she couldn't talk to her either. Earlier, she thought Danica hadn't noticed her following her. When she stopped her car to a side, she also stopped and kept her distance. But someone suddenly knocked on the window, she thought it was a beggar because of his clothes. But, he aimed a gun at her and he got into her car. She could do nothing but drive and follow the man's command where to go to."Why did she tie you up?" Natasha's voice was trembling and she was afraid to approach the woman because a woman named Danica would hurt her if she disobeyed her.Rita could only shake her head. She felt sorry for her because she seemed to have gone through the hardships of life. She was undeniably her niece because she looked like Daniela. She was also thin, so she was worried about her health.Natasha's attempt to approac
Steven and Xander went to an abandoned place. When they got there, the kidnappers were already there."I said just go alone, why are you with someone?" Brando asked Steven angrily."He's my friend and he doesn't carry a weapon like I do." Steven replied calmly."Release the hostage!" Brando called to a companion.Steven was furious when he saw Danica. She was obviously weak and had wounds on her face. Even her lips was cracked and stained with blood."It's her fault why I hurt her. She fought so hard so that's what happened." Brando explained with a smirk."When can I get my sister?" Steven asked the man whose face was covered and only his eyes were uncovered."Wait for my call. I don't want the authorities to find out, understood?" Brando pushed and released the captive.Steven quickly approached Danica and helped her stand up. The three men quickly moved away from them and they could not follow."Steven, Rita… they might hurt my friend!" Danica cried and hugged the young man."I nee
"Steven, when you read this letter of mine, I am no longer here, so don't look for me anymore. Forgive me for the sins I have committed against you. I will leave Daniela with you again and Sean. I need to get away to find myself. It's also my fault why Rita was kidnapped. Please forgive me and don't vent your anger toward me on the children. I wish you and Danica happiness. To her, I entrust our two children. I know she will love the children more than I did as a real mother. I'm worthless and everything Soledad said is true."Steven shredded the paper on which Nicole's letter was written. He was angry and he could not allow Nicole to leave just like that."Hijo, calm down first. We need to put your sister first before that problem with Nicole." Asuncion calmed her grandson."Grandma's right, Steven. I don't know what else Nicole wants to happen." Danica hugged the young man sadly.Steven tried not to let the children know about their mother’s departure for the time being. He could no
"Why did you suddenly come back? Did something bad happen?" Asuncion asked her grandson as they entered her room."Grandma, what was the agreement between you and Danica before the twins came out?"The Madame looked apparently guilty. "Why did you ask that?""I need to know, is it true that you gave Danica a condition to fulfill in order to be married to me?"Asuncion sighed and averted her eyes from her grandson. She knew what he hated the most was for someone to meddle in his life. "You know she has a problem with her ovary and the state of our clan when it comes to women."Steven no longer needed to hear the exact answer from his grandmother, what she said was enough."I don't want our bloodline to end with you. It's important that you have a child who will carry our family name." The Madame explained to her grandson."I understand and thank you for understanding my situation." He said sincerely.Steven didn't stay long in his grandmother's room. He did not want to tell her the tru
