Chapter 1: The Woman in the Mirror

There was no turning back.

With fierce eyes, she was gazing at the mirror. Still in disbelief, she touched her cheek, then she moved a finger to her chin, her eyebrows, her eyelids, and caressing her nose line.

“Who would have thought that I will own this face?” she uttered these words while still stroking her facial contours.

It was undeniable. She looked like a goddess. Her charm and appeal exuded divinity. Her face radiated the allure of a glamorous film star combined with the sophistication of a top fashion model.

She just could not cease scrutinizing the reflection that continued to stare directly into her eyes. Those almond-shaped dark brown eyes may appear so delighted but seemed to hide the loneliness and despair of a woman.

“Ha! No one can tell who you truly are,” she muttered, trying to awaken that satisfaction from within but anguish still engulfed her.

The light in her glamorous makeup space began twitching. She looked at the incandescent bulb. It was starting to lose spark. But after a few seconds, it went back to usual. It was as if the luminescent was telling her to shun with that feeling of doubt and regain that composure she once lost – a year ago.

“It was not that long time. But I know, nobody will remember.” She kept convincing herself.

She began murmuring as if singing an original tune, “I…I am beautiful… I…am beautiful…” she began humming a melody, then stopped. “I am the most beautiful girl in the world, in the universe rather,” she gulped, swallowing her saliva.

“No one can bring you down, baby. No, not today or ever.” She was still talking to herself. Then she started chuckling as if a funny thought crossed her mind.

It was hilarious. That moment when she ran her fingertips on that shiny surface as if touching another person found on the other side.

“Are you my twin? Do you wish to be as beautiful as this woman standing in front of you?” She was definitely asking herself.

“You wish, bitch! You don’t stand a chance. Because I am the only one in this world. I am the one and only,” she declared.

She was gently fondling the moving image like a child. She was infatuated. She was mesmerized. She could not control her adoration on the face she was seeing.

“You are the most beautiful thing I have ever set my eyes on. No one is as gorgeous as you. No one is as lovely as you. No one is as sophisticated. Nobody! Nobody!” She began screaming at the top of her voice to prove her point.

Then she felt terrible. “I am sorry. I didn’t mean to shout at you. You gorgeous thing. I am sorry.” She felt apologetic to her own reflection.

Again, she began touching herself - her face, her chin, down to her long neck that resembled a statuesque swan. She looked at herself in the mirror. She paused. Then, she closed her eyes for about five seconds. She opened them again.

A fuzzy memory suddenly came across her mind. No. It was vivid. A memory of her past abruptly interrupted her beautiful introspection.

That past. If she had her way, she wanted everything to be forgotten. If only she could erase everything in her memory, she would do it. But then, she couldn’t. In her moment of adoration in front of her reflection, that past came up again like a thief in the night.

Her face became gloomy. It was a sad memory. More than sad. It was a painful one that she wanted to obliterate while she was still living. It tormented her.

And her eyes became swollen. She tried to close them but tears flowed to her cheeks. She shed a tear or two. And those tears reached her lips. The liquid was salty.

It was as salty as the ordeal she experienced that night. It was harrowing. It was deeply painful. It was so profound that it not only afflicted her physical fortitude but also the cavernous trench of her soul.

She slowly closed her eyes. Then, shards of that memory came flashing into her consciousness.

“Please don’t do this to me.” She was grousing.

A pair of sturdy hands were exploring every part of her body. She was drowsy. Her body was paralyzed. She couldn’t move in the uncomfortable mattress. She was merely lying on the center spot of the bed with a man on top of her.

She wanted to resist the advances being done to her chaste form but she was just too weak to even lift her fingers.

“Please I beg!” She was trying to plead to her assailant. “I know you are a good person so please I beg you to stop!” She continuously implored other means to escape this tormenting fate.

But the man was unrelenting. He became more aggressive as the woman tried to stop his hands from further stroking her. He acted like an animal who was deprived of food for so many days that when it came his way, he had no other means to consume such but to devour every bit and every piece of that flesh.

Then, she finally had her strength gathered and shouted, “Stop, please stop this!”

The man was stunned. But only for a few seconds as he continued ravaging the miserable woman. That woman’s face, her bosom, her shoulders, nothing escaped the cruel hands of that man.

He ripped the woman’s fancy dress to expose her body more. The man was too strong that the French laces that formed the embellishment in that now tattered number were shattered. And those tiny Swarovski crystal sequins scattered on the floor.

“Stop it,” she shouted again, but to no avail, the man did not listen. Instead, he punched the woman in her stomach. It was hard that it made her lose her remaining strength and fell into a deep slumber.

Then, she opened her eyes. She was still looking at the mirror. But she was full of tears. Tears incessantly flowed from her eyes – one after the other.

She rubbed her face vigorously causing her makeup to smudge.  Her mascara and her eye shadows smeared her rosy cheeks. The pinkish skin turned gray.

Her scarlet red lipstick was all over the bottom part of her face and her once lovely neck was smothered with red stains. It was unattractive. It brought back the ugly façade she had after that horrible episode of her life.

She looked hopeless. She felt wretched. She was miserable.

The woman once again gazed intently at her reflection.

“You are still beautiful! No matter what.” She consoled herself. The agony of that experience was too difficult to handle.

Sofia wanted to cease thinking about her past but it continued haunting her. Even though she already changed her name just to forget who she truly was, but she could not deny the truth that she was Clarissa Gonzales, the infamous beauty queen who was dethroned, maligned, and was defamed by the public due to a scandal that ruined everything about her.

In the midst of the scandal, she left the country to undergo cosmetic surgery. After her amazing transformation following her successful surgery in the United States, she decided to change her persona. From Clarissa Gonzales, she became the 'Sofia Villanueva.'

She returned to the country and she was ready to avenge herself from the people who caused her downfall.

“No, I will not cry. I will not cry anymore. I will take back what was taken away from me,” she angrily said while still staring at her mirror image.

Eventually, she wiped her tears with the back of her palm. There was a box of clean tissue right in front of her but she chose to use her hands.

She tried to remove the smudge on her face. But it wasn’t easy. She even looked much awful as she attempted to clear her skin of that makeup that has been on her face since morning.

“Look at you now. Look at that despicable face,” she was murmuring while still trying to get rid of the smear from the branded cosmetics that her face has become accustomed to. But at that moment, it seemed different.

Then, she stopped.

“All right, I know that behind this messy makeup, you know who you are. You are the most beautiful in the world. Haha!” She laughed a bit and became serious in a beat.

Then, she stroked her hair upwards. She seemed confused. Nevertheless, she scrutinized the image in that shiny thing in front of her and slurred, “With that face! You are going to take back everything that rightfully belongs to you! I promise that.”

Finally, she gave in and used the tissue paper that has been waiting for her to acknowledge. She wiped her face, making sure to clean every part and portion. She made certain that all the ugly spots were removed in order to reveal that lovely face again.

And she did. After a few minutes, that lovely but innocent and seemingly fresh look of a beauty can be seen in that mirror. Again.

She smiled. And she smiled even further which made her eyes closed. She opened them and she was happy.

“This is just the beginning,” she said to herself.

Suddenly she heard footsteps coming in the direction of her room. The sound of the footsteps became louder as they approached the entrance. She looked into the corner where her door was situated.

A voice of a man was calling her name. “Sofia!”

Then she heard him call her name again. “Sofia, are you there?”

And the door opened.

Chapter 2: The Secret Lover
The door revealed the most stunning man the world has ever seen. “Are you okay?” he uttered as he was closing the door of Sofia’s room. “I have been trying to call you on your mobile phone but it seemed you are too preoccupied. Is there something bothering you, Sofia?” He sought answers from the woman who was keeping her silence. Mikael Alonso is the owner of the mansion where Sofia has lived for almost a year. He was the embodiment of Adonis. Handsome and good-looking are understatements to describe the appearance of this man. He was blessed with an amazing height, was well-built, and was bestowed with an outstanding sense of style. With his charm and stunning good looks, everyone would think he was taken straight from a cover of a top male fashion magazine. “Something’s wrong? Were you crying? I heard you shouting downstairs.” He raised his concern again while inching his way towards Sofia who was still in front of her vanity mirror.

She gently squeezed the hand of her companion and took it on her lips. She kissed it.“Thank you so much for taking me here, darling Pablo.” She was continuously kissing that one hand of her lover while they kept walking.“Te amo mucho más Laura,” Pablo lovingly replied in Spanish. “You know that I will do everything for you.

Pablo was silent. He remained dumbfounded after receiving the shocking news from his mother. “Estás loco Pablo. Por qué te casarías con una sirvienta?” Pablo’s mother was furious. She had been scolding her only son, calling him crazy for wanting to marry a servant. She also told him that Laura would be deported to the Philippines. “Tonto! Como puedes hacernos esto?” The woman was full of anger. She could not believe that Pablo would do such a foolish thing as proposing marriage to a mere house cleaner. Out of her exasperation, she was shaking her son’s shoulders as if she was trying to get the sense of out him. “Mamá, por qué hiciste eso? That was the woman I love.” Pablo got the courage to speak his mind and asked his mother why she had to report Laura to the Spanish authorities for deportation. “Lunatico!” his mother replied. “You will never see that woman again!” The words were final and Pablo could not do anything about it.

Chapter 5: The Beautiful Childhood
“Mama, mama, I’m home!” A little girl’s voice filled the air. “Mama, look what I’ve got for you today. I bought bread and noodles.” “Where have you been this time?” Laura went out of her room to see what the little girl was up to. “Did you go garbage hunting again with Mikael?” “Kael was so insistent this morning so I had no choice but to join him. Besides, we were able to earn money from all the junk we collected from our neighbors,” the little girl replied. The mother just stared at the girl who was still standing in front of the door of the little apartment that they were calling home. “My Clarissa, look at you. Your arms and your face are full of dark spots. Those are probably dirt from the garbage that you collected.” Laura was trying to scold her daughter but her gentle voice conveyed how she cared for the little girl. “I am fine, mama. At least I brought us lunch. And I had fun collecting those things and earn from them.” Claris

Chapter 6: Childhood Sweethearts
“What are you up to this time, Kael? Clarissa had been bugging her best friend about what secret he was referring to since they left her house. “Why are you so impatient? You will know later.” Mikael was having fun prolonging his best friend’s agony with suspense as they proceeded to his apartment in order for her to find out what it was. “You are so annoying. I regret joining you today.” There was a sense of disgust in Clarissa’s voice. “By the way, I knew you tricked me this morning.” Mikael was surprised. Then he said, “What are you talking about? I never tricked anyone. I am a good boy.” “Don’t play nice. I knew that you got more money from our earnings this morning. I should have gotten more.” Clarissa finally expressed her suspicion. “I did not. Promise. I wouldn’t do such a thing.” Mikael said. “So why were you speaking with that dealer in a hushed tone? Perhaps, you were hiding something from me. I should be earning more, shoul

Chapter 7: The Lost Son of a Business Magnate
“What are you doing here?” Maria’s voice stunned the two men who were standing in front of the main door of her apartment. “Maria, you’re here. Finally, we meet again,” one of the men said. “Yes, Osvaldo, we meet again. But what are you doing here? Why are you here in our place?” Maria asked several questions to the man who seemed to be a previous acquaintance from years before. “Maria, I am here to take our son. I know that you have been keeping him from me since he was born,” the man replied. “Son? What son? Who’s this son you are talking about?” Maria was appalled by the man’s responses. “Maria, don’t lie. I hired an investigator to find where you are. And I found out that you got pregnant after you left the mansion,” the man said. Maria kept silent. She could not articulate the right words to say to the man who hurt her some years back. She was so angry that her face turned red. And finally, she gathered her courage
