Even more absurdly, I was now pregnant with his child. A child who would never be acknowledged by their father. An illegitimate child. I nodded dazedly. My whole body felt weak. The man I considered my husband was never mine. Even after death, his gravestone would not have my name!

Habang lumalayo si Allen, parang pinipiga ang puso ni Isabel sa sakit. Kumalat ang balita sa Laoag tungkol kay Allen Alvarez, isang lalaking lumubog sa matinding pagsisisi. Ang pangalan ni Isabel Fajardo-Alvarez ay naging simbolo ng hindi maipaliwanag na kalungkutan at pighati, at walang sinuman ang naglakas-loob na banggitin ito sa harap ni Allen. Pagkalipas ng ilang taon, nakilala ni Isabel si Luis Mendoza, isang mayamang mamamayan ng Laoag at nag-iisang tagapagmana ng kanilang pamilya. Mabait si Luis at inalagaan si Isabel, tinuring ding parang sariling anak ang bata. Sa paglipas ng panahon, ipinakilala ni Luis si Isabel sa kanilang business partners, kasama ang pamilya nina Allen. Sa gitna ng isang masayang pagtitipon, biglang nagwala si Allen, lumuhod sa harap ni Isabel, ang kanyang mga mata’y pulang-pula at puno ng pighati. "Isabel, comeback to me... I’m begging for your forgiveness" aniya, humihingi ng kapatawaran, umaasang maibabalik pa ang dati nilang pagsasama. Mapatawad kaya siya ni Isabel o mananatili nalang alaala ang kanilang pagsasama?
