Alexandrine entered the bus but as the bus was already quite full by the time she entered, she stood. Not far away from him, a couple meters away from her, there was Nathaniel who had also taken the bus alongside her.

“ Ms. Claire is so beautiful. I can't because she's still single.” Nathaniel muttered silently as he observed Alexandrine who was deep in thought and didn’t seem to have noticed him yet.

Back at home, Johnson got back from work and the first thing he did as he arrived was to look for his wife.

“ Where is she?” He sighed in exasperation when he didn’t find her anywhere inside the house. He tried phoning her but to no avail. She wasn’t picking up his calls or at least, she couldn’t hear them to be more precise.

“ Where could she have gone at this hour?” As that thought lingered in his mind, he remembered how he asked her to go to the police station to file Tina’s case at the police station as he couldn’t take care of it himself. “ She must still be at the police station fi

    Michael told Johnson how he saw his wife, Alexandrine, coming into the bar with another man who was a true beauty. The more Johnson listened to his friend, Michael's explanation, the only thought that crossed his mind was that the man his wife was currently must have been her ex-boyfriend." I never knew Alexandrine knew a handsome man aside from you." Michael chuckled through the phone. " Are you coming or what?" He added to which Johnson said annoyedly, " Why should I show up there?"Michael was seriously annoyed at his friend and asked, " Are you seriously asking that right now?" Johnson was speechless. " I know you're a jersey and all, but don't you love her even for a bit?" Johnson didn't know what to say or how to answer as his friend popped that question at him out of nowhere. He had yet to take notice of his truest feelings toward his wife.When Michael heard the phone hanging up suddenly on Johnson's side, he slightly grinned as he knew his friend would be coming to the bar a

    When the morning rose, Alexandrine unexpectedly remembered the events of last night and felt embarrassed." Why are you so red, my wife?" Johnson asked, sleeping next to her with an amused grin. Alexandrine looked away and quickly muttered in response, " It's so hot in here; I'm going to take a shower."Alexandrine tried to cover herself with a blanket as she got out of bed. Johnson looked at her in amusement once again and said sneeringly, " What are you trying to cover when I have already seen everything there is to see?"" Shut up, Johnson!" How can you say such embarrassing things?" She shut the door of the bathroom with a bang." So cute!" Johnson muttered when his wife was no longer in sight.In the bathroom, Alexandrine relived yesterday's events once more and felt embarrassed." Why did I let myself go with the flow again when I know deep down his true feelings?" Alexandrine subconsciously wondered as she was taking a shower.Johnson, still very much in bed, also relived last

    Alexandrine was mesmerized at how handsome Johnson was in the costume she specifically chose for him. The latter was still waiting for her to compliment him but she was too busy admiring his handsomeness. “ Alexandrine, are you there?”Alexandrine snapped back to reality and looked at him in a daze. Witnessing her reaction, he said, “ Why? Am I so handsome that you couldn’t take your eyes off me?” He came near her and whispered through her ear.Alexandrine was mesmerized once again by his breath that was so close to her. She was having a hard time pushing him away as she wanted nothing more but to be near him. When Johnson made another comment, “ Did you know I would look this handsome as you chose those clothes for me?”Alexandrine finally found the strength to push him away. Coughing to hide her embarrassment, she muttered, “ What nonsense are you spouting so early?” She sat at the dining table and muttered once again, “ Come and have your breakfast, so we can get going already!”“

    Everyone in the hall regarded Alexandrine as not knowing who she was and why the hostess was so pissed at her grandson. Alexandrine looked at the scene in sadness, especially the scene her soon-to-be ex-husband was giving with his lover, Tina.“ Once again, he’s taking Tina’s side,” Alexandrine muttered silently. Alexandrine felt embarrassed showing this embarrassing side of herself in front of everyone and more importantly that she didn’t know how to qualify herself and introduce herself in front of everyone.To stop the scene that was taking place, Alexandrine approached Johnson’s grandmother and held her hand softly, “ Grandmother, let it be!” She said before everyone, questioning themselves even more as to who I was. Johnson finally noticed Alexandrine dripping wet and wondered what might have happened to her.“ Alexandrine, what happened to you? Why are you dripping wet?” The latter asked out of concern without leaving Tina’s side even for an instant. Alexandrine didn’t let her s

    A couple of minutes earlier, as Alexandrine was in the shower, she thought of what happened earlier in the main hall; How Johnson got angry over her and wanted to punish his cousin Meredith for slandering her.“ He was so cool back there that I almost fell for him all over again,” Alexandrine muttered as the water was sipping through her. “ How good would that be if beneath that anger, there was some love for me?” She muttered again as she lightly touched her tummy.“ I wouldn’t have to leave Johnson and we would be one happy big family with our baby.” She muttered joyfully before thinking how she could have lost her baby when she was pushed into the swimming pool by Meredith.“ Thank God nothing happened to you, baby.” Alexandrine was grateful most of all that her baby had escaped unscathed as anything could have happened in there, but she was happy that in the end, things were resolved peacefully.Later, when Alexandrine finished showering, she looked around her and realized that sh

    After Johnson had departed to the hospital, Alexandrine tried to process what had just happened. She wanted to understand why and how the news about their divorce had reached the media.“ Who could have done this?” Alexandrine tried to figure out who could have done such an evil act. “ Only three of us were aware of the divorce.” As she tried to think, she was horrified and she subconsciously thought, “ Could Tina be the one who leaked the news of our divorce over to the media?”Not pondering on the matter any longer, Alexandrine clothed herself and headed straight to the hospital where Johnson’s mother was taken.Meanwhile, at the hospital, there was no news about Johnson's grandmother’s condition. Johnson was worried and blamed himself for her state. Tina tried to comfort him, “ None of what happened today is your fault. You shouldn’t blame yourself.”Tina’s words seemed to have an effect on Johnson who hugged her tightly. Tina patted the back of his head and said, “ Everything will

    “ You mentioned earlier that you needed a place to move in, right?” Estrella asked her friend who nodded in response. Later, she said, “ Why look for another place when you can just live here with me?”Alexandrine was hesitant before answering. Seeing how hesitant she was getting from answering her question, she said, “ You want to be independent, am I right?”“ I’m sorry, Estrella.” Alexandrine nodded as she admitted her friend was right. “ I don’t want to trouble you by living off you.”Estrella was a bit offended by her last statement. “ What do you mean, living off of me?”Alexandrine apologized for offending her as she didn’t mean it. She told Estrella that in order to make a fresh start for herself and her upcoming baby, she needed to face the world and she needed to do that alone. Estrella happened to get what she was saying and supported her decision for doing what was best for her and her baby.“ I’ll support you in your little endeavors.

Throughout the kiss, she smells the heavy smell of alcohol on him, deducting him to be drunk.With great difficulty, Alexandrine managed to break the kiss and slapped him hard. “ What do you think you’re doing, Johnson?” She shouted at him. Johnson simply looked at her without uttering a word. “ I’m not Tina, so stop behaving like an ass, or else, I’ll call the police on you.”“ You’ll call the police on me, huh?” Johnson forcibly grabbed her by the shoulders. “ Were you so in a hurry to divorce me so you could move in with your lover?” Johnson was blattering nonsense after nonsense.

" What is this woman talking about?" " How could Alexandrine be the girl from back then?" Johnson subconsciously thought as the narration continued." When you fell down the cliff, I claimed your necklace as mine."

    " So this is what happened?"Still, in the abyss of her long-lost memories, Alexandrine subconsciously thought as she was unconscious, " So that means, I was the girl who saved Johnson long ago! I remembered everything as clear as day."" Due to me falling down the cliff, our history was changed and Johnson undoubtedly believed Tina was the girl who saved him."" She took advantage of my absence to take a place that wasn't hers in Johnson's heart. The reason why Johnson never looked my way was simply because he was keeping his promise to me."Recalling Johnson's promise once more, she subconsciously thought, " Although he forgot all about me, he didn't forget his oath. It's just that he got the wrong girl all along. Now that I've recalled my forgotten memories, I need to make sure Johnson knows the one who saved him that day was me all along and not Tina as he was led to believe all those years ago.Gathering her strength and energy, Alexandrine managed to break free from her unconsci

    " Why do you look so shocked upon learning the truth about that necklace?" Tina glaringly revealed to her nemesis that she was the little girl who had saved Johnson Santos all those years ago and not her as she presumably led him to believe all those years ago.During the silence, Alexandrine subconsciously wondered, “ What is Tina talking about?” “ The one who saved Johnson years ago was me! How is that possible?”The next thing Alexandrine knew, Tina was joyfully clapping her hands and when she was done clapping, she said, “ I must thank you, Alexandrine Claire.”…“ If not thanks to your necklace, how would I have been able to foul Johnson for so long?” She smirked joyfully before adding, “ Had you not left your necklace out that day, I wouldn’t have been able to take your place in Johnson’s heart, so thank you so much, Alexandrine Claire.” She laughed hysterically at the end of her sentence.Alexandrine was too stunned by Tina’s craziness to ask any questions whatsoever.

    “ Who would want to team up with you?” Alexandrine glared at her former friend and supporter with extreme coldness. “ What? Why are you looking at me like that?”“ Did you seriously think I’d allow you to use ema as a peon once more?” Nathaniel didn’t dare answer. Alexandrine wasn’t done telling him his four truths. “ You mentioned just now that whatever was happening was due to me standing by Johnson’s side, correct?”“ If that wasn’t truly my fault, then answer me this, would you?” Nathaniel flinched at the sound of that. “ Was it also my fault to befriend you and offer you my unconditional trust?” Once more, he was stuck and couldn’t answer her questions.“ Why won’t you answer me, Nathaniel?” She shouted as she added, “ Why won’t you admit once and for all that meeting you and letting you evade my life as you did was nothing but a mistake?”“ After all, had I not met you, I wouldn’t be in this situation and would certainly not have been used as a vulgar peon with no consideration
