“WHAT’S the real score between you and Randall? You even came in together and we saw with our two eyes that you were holding hands while walking,” Marylex asked curiously as she approached Meredith, while Shanaia waited for her response.She pulled them to the side of their room before telling them the truth.“Oh my goodness! For real?” Marylex said in shock after hearing the story.Shanaia folded her arms. “Looks like someone is in trouble because of what you entered.”She and Marylex looked at her in awe.“What do you mean, Shan?” she asked.She didn’t say anything, but Shanaia pointed to her heart which she immediately understood. “But you can prevent that from happening,” Shanaia added.“H-how?”“If you can make him fall in love with you.”“Right!” Marylex agreed.She didn’t know if she could do that. For her, their pretensions are difficult. What else could make him fall in love with her? Besides, she has no idea if she possesses the qualities he seeks in a woman.She shook her

You’re cheating on my class?” Mrs. Garson asked when he saw the test paper inside Clayton’s bag. His eyes widened in shock. “I-I don’t know anything about that, Ma’am. “What do you mean nothing?

“HEY, Barbara! What’s wrong with you? You’re spacing out!” Letisha asked after they ate lunch at the canteen. They are now at their hangout place in BSU.“I’ve been thinking about Clayton. Were we too harsh on him?” she asked, causing Esperanza and Leticia to exchange glances.Leticia reacted. “Clayton? You mean the out-of-trend guy?”“Seriously, Barb? This is the first time you address someone you despise in their first name.”She shrugged. “I don’t know! When I heard what he’s going through right now, I suddenly felt guilty for the things we say and do to him, especially that cheating incident in class with Mrs. Garzon.”“I knew it!

BARBARA stopped when she recognized that voice. She wanted to ignore it but her body seemed to have a life of its own and looked at it. And just like that, the blood rose to her head when she saw the person who was the reason why some people told her that she lacked a mother’s care. “Y-you grew up b-beautifully,” Rebecca said with trembling lips and was about to approach her when Barbara took a step back. Like Barbara, the tears of the woman formed in her eyes. She shook her head upon seeing it. For her, it wasn’t praised. She just said that because she wanted to flatter her, but she won’t buy it. She examined her from head to toe and she could tell that her appearance was far from what she expected. She’s not wearing any make-up. Even her clothes looks simple. For Barbara, she looks poor. ‘What happened to her? Isn’t she elope with a wealthy man before?’ She composed herself and show that she wasn’t affected by her presence. “Do I know you?” she asked. She wanted to leave, but

“HOW is the procedure going?” Barbara asked the owner of the salon when she returned. “We’re almost finished. Is that for him?” he asked, looking at the numerous paper bags she was carrying. Barbara handed him the paper bags. “Make sure it’s worth what I paid you, okay?” “I’m sure you’ll be amazed when you see Clayton’s major transformation,” he said excitedly. She just shook her head and read the magazines in the waiting room to distract herself. After a minute, the owner emerged, accompanied by an unfamiliar muscular young man. But she wasn’t paying attention. She looked behind the unfamiliar man. When she didn’t see Clayton, she raised one of her brows. “Where has he gone? I thought you were almost done?” “What you’re looking for, Miss Barbara, is right in front of you,” the owner said, causing her to look back at the unfamiliar man in front of her. She didn’t believe he was concealing a lovely face. She didn’t even know who he was in a first glance. The man in jologs and lo

Give me an acceptable reason why you can’t marry me!” Randall yelled, couldn’t accept the fact that he was rejected.Meredith took a deep breath, trying to hold back her tears and face him. “Because you don’t really love me.” Meredith’s emotions were mixed as fear dominated her heart.

“MEREDITH?” Ranier was taken aback as Meredith and Editha entered their house. He couldn’t believe that he would see them so soon. He thought that it would be difficult for him to talk to them again. “Where is he?” Meredith asked, worriedly. “He’s inside his room.” Meredith was on her way to Randall's room when she became stunned and closed her eyes. Barbara’s soul appeared in her body once more. She opened her eyes after a few seconds and turned to face Ranier. “Brother! F-forgive me. It’s all my fault. If it wasn’t for me, the people around me wouldn’t have been hurt. I deeply regret being weak and selfish back then. Ranier hugged her back. “Shhh... It’s okay, Barb. I know how you feel. But, please, help and guide my son, your nephew, to be strong. Don’t let him take his own life. I was so damn hurt by losing you then that I can’t bear it if I lose my son as well.” She released herself from his embrace and nodded. “Don’t worry, brother. I will fix everything I was left behind.

“SISTER MARIA!” Editha said as she hugged tightly the nun she considered her real mother. Sister Maria hugged her back. “Oh! Thank God! You’ve finally come! I have waited so long for your visit.” Editha let go of the hug. “I’m sorry, there’s so much happened in the past years.

Don’t tell me you’ve moved out of your condo?” Meredith asked Randall when he took her to an unfamiliar condo.But Meredith’s guess was wrong. That unit is the place where Barbara and Clayton’s dark past happened.“Don’t you remember this place?” he asked back.She looked throughout the entire condo. “Y-yeah. This place is quite familiar to me, but how did you know that this was the place?” He held both of her hands. “I told you before that I know the whole truth, didn't I?”She nodded. “However, I also told you that it doesn’t matter what happened in the past if we know it will only affect our marriage.”Randall closed his eyes. “But my conscience won’t let me sleep anymore!
