"Ella, wake up!" Ella was half awake and could hear nothing but the voice of his older brother, who sounded hysterical. Lucas was jolting Ella, who was falling deep asleep. He was in a total state of panic and felt as if something bad had happened. Ella awoke from her sleep when Lucas yelled at her. "Ella, wake up and get your ass out of the bed!" "What the fuck, Lucas?" Ella's voice was raspy. She turns away from him and covers herself with a blanket, attempting to sleep again. "Fuck off," she yelled, "it's too early, and I've got plenty of time to sleep." "Did you notice the pantry in the kitchen?" Lucas enquired. Ella jumped out of bed when she remembered the groceries Edward had purchased the day before. She became concerned that someone had stolen the supplies in the pantry and rushed into the kitchen to investigate. "Did the pantry supplies get stolen?"

"Ella?" "Who are you?" "Can you tell me what happened?" "Where has she gone?" "All right, we're on our way!" Following the phone call, Bruce and Salome dashed outside the mansion and straight to the garden, as instructed by the person on the other end of the line. They've been looking for Ella all over the mansion for hours, worried that she's suffering from emotional damage as a result of hearing Edward's engagement announcement. After a few minutes, they arrive in the secluded part of the garden, where they find Ella passed out with her head resting on Joaquin's lap while he is sitting on the marble bench.

Salome cried out loud. Salome was taken aback by

"Edward, wait. Let me explain!" Those were Joaquin's final words before Edward slammed the door in his face. Edward ignored his friend's pleading and walked out of the bathroom with a heavy heart and a gloomy disposition. As he watched his friend leave the room, Joaquin had a blank look and a slack expression. "Damn, Edward, you're too consumed by your feelings for Ella. I wish you had given me the chance to explain," he thought to himself. When Joaquin went out of the restroom, he saw Ella coming out of the women's restroom. She was crying and rushing out of the restaurant. Joaquin suspected that something bad had happened to her inside the restroom and decided to call her. "Ella, wait.

Flashback to five years ago at San Lorenzo Convent... "Lydia, I'd like to introduce you to Sister Lucinda. In this convent, she will be your roommate," Mother Superior Belinda said to Lydia. Lydia took a look around and assessed the condition of the room. It's a good size, with two single beds and a side bed drawer in between that serves as a partition. There was a built-in cupboard on each side of the beds, as well as a study table beside it. The room has enough room for an additional couch, book drawers, and storage for their personal belongings. It has a large window and a balcony from which they can see the field and the small village of farmers and fishermen. "Hello, Lydia, welcome to the convent. Let's be friends, shall we?"
