Chairman Castillo and Oliver's discussion about Sofia took a few hours before it came to an end. As a father who loves his daughter dearly, he asked for Oliver's help to encourage his daughter to talk as soon as possible and Oliver agreed without hesitation.

Though he didn't feel any sort of affection towards Sofia, he still wanted her to be safe before he cancelled their engagement. Whether Ruella accepted him or not, he still was adamant to remain single in the end. He felt guilty for wasting Sofia's life waiting for him. Sinubukan niya namang mahalin ang dalaga ngunit hindi niya talaga kayang turuan ang kanyang puso. It still beats for the Ventura lady at wala siyang magawa kundi sundin ito dahil sawang-sawa na siyang mamuhay na malungkot.

"I'll talk to her tomorrow, Uncle. Be at ease. Gagawin ko ang lahat para sabihin niya sa akin kung sino ang kanyang nabundol noon." Oliver assured him confidently.

"Maraming salamat, Ijo. Alam ko talagang sayo lang makikinig si Sofia dahil umii

    The woman was none other than Ruella. Kasalukuyan siyang nasa tabi ng ama, nakikipag-usap ng biglang tumawag sa Don ang isa sa kanilang mga tauhan sa warehouse informing the big boss that a woman was seeking out for their item. The man was ecstatic to announce that it was their generous client.Nakikinig lamang ang dalaga noong una ngunit bigla siyang nagkainterest ng marinig ang pangalan na 'Sofia Castillo'. She stared at her father intently. Knowing that his daughter holds a deep grudge about his client, he handed his mobile to his daughter para siya na lamang ang makipag-usap sa tao. Mabilis na gumana ang utak ng dalaga due to her extreme eagerness na paglaruan ang nasabing client. Her efficiency made the Don impressed dahil hindi ito nagpakita ng kaunting pag-aalinlangan sa kanyang mga sinasabi. She was planning to overdose that person which he found very satisfying."Give her what she wants. Let her indulge." She commanded coldly as the new plan suddenly played in her mind."Mi

    It didn't take long before they both went out from the supermarket with several bags stuffed on their hands filled with their purchased items.Oliver went directly to his car stuffing his bags on the backseat whilst Ruella also hopped into hers. They drove back to their apartment building. She was trailing behind him.15 minutes passed and they both arrived at the parking lot. Sabay silang lumabas ng kanilang mga sasakyan dahil sa magkatabi lang ito. They both entered the building and ascended on the same lift.Coincidentally, they were alone inside as it ascended on their specific floor.Oliver's eyes rammed curiously on the things she was holding. "What's inside the travelling bag?" He inquired."Nothing much. Just a few things." She curtly responded. Now it was her turn to ram her eyes at the ecobags he was holding. "Ano ba 'yang mga binili mo?" Tanong niya."Hindi ba't sinabi ko na magluluto ako para sa dinner natin?" He reminded her. "Don't tell me, nagbago na ang isip mo?"Some

    CDO City, Local airport…It was around half past midnight yet there were still a lot of people busy coming in and going out from the airport due to their flights. Others looked excited while the others painted exhaustion on their faces.Andrea dragged her suitcase nervously towards the exit while blending herself with the massive crowd. She had her head low as she took her slow steps towards the passageway. Kung hindi lamang siya pinagbantaan ni Ruella gamit ang kanyang mga magulang ay hindi sana siya uuwi ng sapilitan. She never thought of her to show up after a year. It was so surprising.She never expected her to stand bilang isa sa pinakamayaman na dalaga sa kanilang lugar. Recalling how the latter acted passively during her difficult times, she couldn't help mocking herself. Ang buong akala niya ay magaling siyang magpanggap ngunit nagkamali pala siya. Mas magaling si Roselle sa kanya. Hindi niya ito nakitaan ng kahit konting flaws para magduda siya sa katauhan nito. She took ev

    Ruella raced towards the mansion at full speed, getting thrilled. Habang nasa daan, tinawagan niya ang kanyang tauhan upang alamin ang kanilang lokasyon. Hindi naman siya nabigo at napangiti pa ito ng marinig na ilang metro na lamang ang layo nila mula sa kanyang bahay. Saka lamang siya nagdesisyon na mag dahan-dahan sa pagmamaneho upang mauna sila sa pagdating. She reminded herself that she didn't need to rush over for now because she was already assured that Andrea was now under her mercy. Magkikita at magkikita pa rin naman sila and nobody can prevent it from happening.Magmula ng magising siya sa coma, her mind was occupied by those people's faces who always haunt her whenever she closed her eyes. Ang mga mukha ng nanakit sa kanya at sa kanyang anak ay hindi niya maiwaksi lalong-lalo na ang mukha ng taong bukod tanging pinagkatiwalaan niya ng husto ever since she decided to live alone independently. Ang mapanlinlang na mukha ni Andrea. She had lots of questions to ask and she was

    "Anu ba talaga ang naging problema ninyong dalawa, hm?" Oliver asked curiously."Malalaman mo rin sa tamang panahon." Maikling sagot ng dalaga habang tumingin siya sa mukha ng binata. Marahang siyang nagtanong, "What happened to Sofia?"He sighed heavily before he responded. "She was… She attempted to kill herself." Malungkot na saad nito."Ganun ba?" She quired and went. "Perhaps she was struggling to deal with something lately at wala siyang mapagsabihan ng kanyang mga problema kaya naisip niya na gawin iyon…"Oliver stared at her intently for a brief moment before he replied. "I've been trying to ask her but she refused to tell me. Palagi siyang umiiwas sa mga tanong ko…" he sighed and went. "Hindi ko rin alam kung paano siya pagsalutain…""Hmm…" Tumango lamang ang dalaga habang nakikinig but her mind was telling him that, 'Of course she won't tell you that I was trying to get her mad by coming back from the dead!'Recalling the conversation earlier he made with his assistant, Ruel

    Meanwhile at the hospital…The doctor was carefully explaining Sofia's condition to Oliver inside the ward."Doctor, kumusta po ang lagay niya?""Her condition was stabilized but we have to undergo further observation para makakasiguro… Masyadong malalim ang mga sugat na kanyang tinamo and she's emotionally unstable…" the physician explained patiently and went on adding."Mr. Mitchell, Miss Castillo has to undergo psychotherapy sessions when she gets better. Baka may mabigat siyang pinagdadaanan na hindi niya masabi sayo o sa kanyang mga magulang kaya naisipan niyang saktan ang sarili…" marahang paliwanag ng doctor sa binata."Doc, was there any circumstances na pwedeng maulit ang nangyari?" He asked.Tumango ang doctor. "Posibleng maulit ang nangyari, Mr Mitchell. I advise you to stay on her side and let her feel that she's not alone… I'm afraid if she did it again, baka hindi na siya maagapan pa..."Oliver pursed his lips for a brief moment and nodded solemnly.

    Ruella descended herself out from the elevator, marching towards her apartment door gracefully… So what if he's there waiting for her? Should she chicken out?'Bakit naman ako tatakbo palayo sa kanya? I'm not a coward…' she thought defiantly, getting closer to him.Oliver's eyes slowly opened sensing her presence…"What are you doing here?" She asked, voice sounded flat as she took out her keys from her pockets ready to open her knobs."I'm obviously waiting for you as you can see…" he retorted. "Saan ka nga pala galing?"Natigilan ang dalaga at napatingala ito sa kanya. He was taller than her after all, thus she had to look up just to meet his gaze and it was sharp, deeply penetrating accompanied with his intimidating stance. If they were in the same situation just like before, she would cower and lower herself to submission but now… Their situations are equal… "Aba naman…" she chuckled lightly and quired. "Bakit naging interesado ka na sa mga lakad ko ha? Oliver, anong iniisip mo?"

    In the race track, Ruella was summoned out of her team's private lounge for a quick interview, and out of courtesy for them, she agreed though she hadn't tried facing the camera. Wearing her signature sunglasses, she dragged herself out immediately.A lot of reporters came running as soon as they spotted her coming out. They look trailed and ecstatic at her fully geared-up appearance. She got most men's attention once she stood not far away from the race track.Her long cascading brown hair was blown by the impact of racing cars passing by adding a sense of amazement to everyone. They couldn't take their eyes off her. It was as if they saw a goddess descending from no one knows where."Miss Ventura," One of the reporters began to ask. "Since when did you start showing interest in car racing?"Ruella thought for a while before she answered. "Since I was fifteen."They all gasped, unable to believe her words. One reporter then came forward to ask her another question."The Annual Racing

    "She never said anything about it," Oliver flatly replied. "I don't want to meddle in your affairs right now but you've got to get her as soon as possible," Don Antonio said hurriedly. "Her Aunt was freaking out right now!""Is that Oliver?" He even heard Aurora's loud voice in the background which meant that she was indeed throwing a tantrum. "Tell him to get his wife right now or I'll do it on my own!"Don Antonio sighed helplessly. "You heard her. You've got to hurry before she calls someone else to take her away from that race track!"Holding his phone, Oliver didn't know how to react. From the way Don Antonio speaks, he seems a little scared of Aurora which makes him quite baffled.His mind immediately wondered. 'When did he allow Aurora to boss him around?'After quite some time, Oliver's thoughts became steady again once the line was dropped dead and Emman's confused face came into his view.Startled, he blinked several times before he snarled. "What are you doing?""When are

    Oliver gazed at her in shock. It took him a couple of minutes before he finally managed to ask. "What did you just say?"Ruella's hot tears streamed down her face as she repeated. "I... I am pregnant!"He finally snapped out of it. The next second, he smiled and began kissing her happily."Isn't this good news for us? We're having a baby!" He looked elated in contrast to her melancholic reaction.He was all smiles but his moment of happiness slowly vanished seeing Ruella's endless tears. It was only then that he remembered her question earlier. His expression began changing."Are you telling me that I'm not?" He asked. His expression turned gloomy.Ruella, still crying, nodded and shook her head at the same time.Meanwhile, Oliver was getting confused. He clumsily wiped her tears before he asked. "Rue, I don't understand. Please stop crying and explain it to me clearly."Sniffling, Ruella opened her mouth to speak. "The baby might belong to him or yours, I'm not sure!""What?" Oliver w

    Oliver sensed something odd about her behavior lately but he pushed it aside. He went on comforting her until she eventually calmed down.After quite some time, Ruella finally felt so much better. She closed her eyes and soon drifted to sleep.Meanwhile, Oliver just observed her. He jumped out of her bed slowly after ensuring her breathing became even and went to the balcony. He stood there for quite some time, looking into the distance. No one knew what he was thinking as his face was unreadable.The night has deepened but the lights in the hollow streets shine brightly like the sun, creating a morning glow. The sky turned dark and the wind became chilly followed by a slight drizzle of raindrops.Oliver was immersed in his deep thoughts when the sound of his mobile phone snapped him out of it.It was then he realized, he had been standing there for a long time. Moments later, he went back inside Ruella's room. Shortly after, he received Aurora's phone call stating that they'd stay a

    Ruella rushed to the bathroom and retched everything out. Unbeknownst to her, Oliver followed her immediately."Rue, are you okay?" he asked, sounding worried as he supported her bent form over the toilet.Ruella couldn’t speak; she continued to vomit, feeling as if her intestines were about to come out as well. She had sworn never to experience something like this again, yet here she was, back in the same situation. The difference was that Oliver was now by her side, unlike before.He rubbed her back gently while holding her long hair and grumbled anxiously, "I'll bring you to the doctor!"Ruella was alarmed and instinctively replied, "No!" Wiping her mouth, she looked up at him and forced a weak smile. "I... I'll be fine, Ollie. I'm just not feeling well."She looked pale and exhausted, which worried him even more. He tried to convince her, "Rue, don’t be so stubborn. You can’t afford to be sick at this critical time..."She shook her head adamantly. "That won't be necessary."Dragg

    Ruella didn't know what was running in her father's mind.The words he spoke just now made her uncomfortable, so she quickly stepped in before he uttered other offensive words."Dad," Eyeing her father seriously, she said, stealing his attention from them. "I'd like to have a word with you."Don Antonio raised his eyebrows, amused at her daughter's quick intervention. But noticing Ruella's expression, he pursed his lips and stood up. "Follow me to the study."Ruella and Oliver went up with him leaving Aurora, Philip, and Lily.As soon as the door to the study closed, Ruella promptly occupied the couch followed by Oliver."Dad, where's Sierra?" She confronted. "Haven't I told Tommy to bring you to the island? Why are you still here?"She just recalled that Sierra tried to threaten their father's life a couple of days ago but after that, she lost contact with her. She thought that he might've captured her."I can manage my affairs," He muttered in disapproval. "I ain't too old to run aw

    His heart almost leaped from his chest thinking she might've heard him speaking over the phone."How long have you been there?" Oliver asked nervously.Ruella remained staring at him in silence. Her face was blank, devoid of any emotions.Her stare made him uneasy, but he approached her regardless of how he felt."What's wrong?" His voice immediately softened.Ruella was in fact, in a daze. It may seem like her eyes were focused on Oliver but her mind was elsewhere.She still couldn't believe that she was pregnant. It was like a dream. An impossible dream.At first, she thought that her Aunt Aurora was trying to cheer her up but she was wrong.She showed her the medical results taken overseas in their hospital and she was indeed two months pregnant.She recalled the scene that day.Her blood samples are taken before she undergoes the final test. There were a lot of nurses tending to her which she found a little odd.Moreover, it was very crowded so she argued with the doctor telling h

    In the living room, the atmosphere became chilly.Oblivious to what Ruella talked about with her Aunt upstairs, Oliver settled down on the couch across from the three persons.He noticed that each had different expressions plastered on their faces.The woman, he assumed to be the doctor, Victor discussed with him over the phone was busy taking notes to God knows what. However, her expression was a little strange after looking at Ruella for quite some time.Aurora's husband had his sharp gaze aimed in Don Antonio's direction and the same goes for the latter as if they were planning to stab each other any moment from now.Men are protective when it comes to their territories which was quite reasonable for Don Antonio but looking at Philip, Oliver suddenly felt curious, wondering why he was looking at him with such hatred in his eyes.As he waited, Philip finally broke his silence."I didn't know that Mr. Ventura was capable of ruining a crowned princess's life. If I had known you'd fail

    Under her scrutinizing gaze, Oliver felt nervous."Why would you think of that?" He asked trying to be nonchalant.Her stare made him feel slightly uncomfortable. It was like she wanted to drill holes all over his face, and man, he wasn't good at lying, but he couldn't tell her about everything yet for fear that she might get mad at him.Ruella seized him up and down several times. Seeing his facial hair intact and perfectly trimmed, she asked. "You look more mature than before. What's with the beard?"Oliver thought that she might've been suspicious of him for talking too much thus he tried to refrain himself a little.Pushing aside his nervousness, he suddenly grinned, asking. "Does this look better on me?"Ruella didn't dwell on it too much and just nodded. "Not bad."Oliver felt relieved. Then he leads her downstairs to eat the sumptuous meals he prepared for her.Moments later, after finishing their meals, Ruella stood up from her chair."I need to go home," she announced. "Sierra
