Ilang araw na ang lumipas ngunit di nagawang pumasok ni Brent sa company. Dala ng labis na pagdadalamhati nanatili siya sa loob ng condo. Sa pagkawala ni Edward parang nawalan na rin siya ng ganang bumangon sa bawat araw. Ilang araw na siyang natutulog at di bumabangon sa kama, ayaw niyang mag-isip at madilim ang buong kwarto. Hindi rin siya nag-abalang magcheck ng kanyang social media account. He wanted to be alone in silence, thinking makes him feel lazy and tired.
Samantala, naisagawa na ni Celso Chan ang lahat ng plans niya. Dala ng sobrang takot ng dalawang tao na pinapadukot niya nag-produce ang mga ito ng fake evidence at Audit Report pointed out Brent, as the person behind those suspicious transactions and who took the money from Rodriguez Group of Companies. According to Celso’s plan, he plotted a frame-up situation to force Brent to abdicate his position as Chairman of the Board. Pinuntahan
Sa Mansyon ng Chan masayang ibinalita ni Celso kay Mike ang mga naganap sa kompanya. Matapos ang naganap na emergency meeting narinig nilang lahat na ipinag-uutos ni Shantal ang dismissal ni Brent mula sa kompanya. Gagawin ito kinabukasan in front of public media which will be a live stream in the whole country.“Dad, what did you say? Is that true that tomorrow there will be an announcement in the Rodriguez Group of Companies? Does uncle Edward approve all Shantal’s decisions?” tanong ni Mike sa ama.“Nothing to worry about Edward, dahil anak niya ang gumawa ng pasya and I’m pretty sure he knows everything. And it turns out that all my plans go well, dahil naniwala siya doon sa binigay kong fake evidence na ginawa ng Finance Head, bukas ng umaga mawawalan na ng credibility ang mayabang na si Brent Santillian.” na
Malakas na bulungan ang pumuno sa paligid ngunit walang naglakas loob na sumunod kay Brent. Sinundan lamang ng tingin ni Allan ang papalayong si Brent. Gusto niya itong ipagtanggol ngunit batid niyang wala siyang magagawa ng mga sandaling iyon. Si Mica na nasa isang sulok hilam ang mata sa luha at labis na hinagpis ng masaksihan ang lahat ng kaganapan. Tila ba isang palabas na tanging nagbibigay ng masakit na alaala sa bawat nakasaksi nito. Mabilis siyang bumalik sa office nila at kinuha ang cellphone at nag-send ng message kay Brent.Mica’s Message:“Sir Brent, I know you are innocent and a good man. I can’t stand my feet to save you against their accusations because I am just a nobody's secretary that has been serving you for how many years. I saw your effort to make this company expand faster than before, and I al
Brent walked away from Shantal’s life without hesitation. He was fed up with her capriciousness and accusations. He gave up loving her and only pain has left in his heart. He was tired of living but he needs to face Celso Chan to seek justice for his father’s death. Ilang ulit siyang tinawagan at pinapaalalahanan ni Atty. Moran na kailangan niyang magpakatatag. Ito ang naging sandalan niya ng mga panahong iyon. Ang sabi nito nakarating na sa kampo ni Celso Chan ang inihain niyang demanda laban dito. Dahil malakas ang impluwensya nito nagawa nitong harangin ang kahit anumang balita sa kasalukuyang kaso na isinampa ni Brent laban dito.Day and night Brent spent his time drinking inside the condo. He hasn't cleaned himself, he was lost and he was far from the old Brent. Bakas sa maamong mukha niya ang labis na kalungkutan. Ayaw tanggapin ng isipan niya na nagtatapos ang pagsasama nilang mag-asawa
Shantal went home earlier because she felt so tired and lost. Pag-alis ni Atty. Moran sa office niya nawalan na siya ng ganang magtrabaho. She can’t explain her sudden mood swing. Pagdating ng bahay she walks towards Brent's room. Pagpasok niya sa madilim na kwarto ramdam niya ang bigat ng paligid, Brent's voice echoed in her mind. “Miss Rodriguez, from now on I will forget you and I hope our paths will never cross again because if it happens I don’t know if I will be the old Brent Santillian you used to know.” Pagbukas niya ng ilaw tumambad sa paningin niya ang empty room nito. She walks closer to the table near the bed. She slowly opens the drawer. She’s shocked when she saw Brent’s wedding ring left there, may kung anong kirot sa puso ang naramdaman niya. Doon lang niya naisip that he must really tired of her.
Shantal had arranged everything in the company before she decided to leave. Temporarily Allan took her position to run Rodriguez Group of Companies. After the meeting, some of the board of directors has been trying to question why she suddenly decided to leave. She never gives them a specific reason as to why she made that decision. Tanging si Allan at ang mga kasambahay lamang niya ang nakakaalam sa kalagayan niya. She wants to give birth in the US. She informed Martin about it and he replied that he is willing to take good care of her for old time's sake.Nang mga sandaling iyon naman nasa airport na sila Erick at ang assistant ni Brent na si Ryan. Gamit ang private plane ng pamilya ni Erick nagawa nilang dalhin sa paliparan si Brent na walang nakapansin dito. Shantal is waiting for her flight to US ng mahagip sa paningin niya ang pamilyar na mukha. It was Erick na dumaan sa harapan nila. Dahil nas
Five Years LaterBrent had been busy for the past five years. He started to revive his company in Singapore, it focused on Digital Marketing and Financial Investment Portfolio. Since the day he woke up, he decided to work silently, dealing with different businesses in Europe and ASIA. Nobody talks about him for the past five years because he stays away from the limelight. He never accepts any interview nor shows his face in public. All his business activities were presented by his personal Assistant Ryan. In a short period of time, they are able to expand their market across the globe. They are now a renowned Digital and Marketing Company.Naging matagumpay ang tahimik niyang mga plano. He wanted to return back in his own country to take his revenge against his wife and Mr. Chan. He never forgot the day they treated him like a crimi
After a happy dinner, Shantal took her child upstairs. Instead na sa kwarto niya dalhin si Brielle sa dating kwarto ni Brent niya ito dinala. Bago pa sila bumalik sa mansyon, tinawagan na ni Yaya Santina ang head ng mga kasambahay nila at sinabi niya ritong linisin at iayos ang kwartong iyon. Doon din dinala ang gamit ni Brielle dahil ito na ang gagamit sa dating kwarto ni Brent.Maraming kwarto sa loob ng mansyon nila ngunit mas gusto niyang doon tutuloy ang anak nila ni Brent para manatili ang memories nito sa isipan ng anak niya. Pagbukas ng kwarto tumambad sa kanila ang samot-saring naiwang award ni Brent na di nito dinala noong umalis ito. Naroon pa rin sa drawer ang diary at wedding ring nito. Muli nararamdaman niya ang lungkot dahil sa mga ala-alang iniwan ni Brent.“Wow, is this my room Mom?” masayang tanong ni Brielle at patakbo
At exactly 7 pm Ryan had arrived at Brent’s house to pick him up. He quickly grabbed his jacket and cellphone as soon as he heard the car sound. Matiyagang naghihintay si Ryan sa pagbaba niya. He lived in a big mansion in Singapore even though he was alone. Mas pinili niyang mag-isa to avoid gossip. He opted to have a stay-out servant which only assigned to clean the entire house. It has been five years being single and alone, madalas sinasabi ng mga employees niya na maghanap na siya ng partner ngunit di siya umiimik dahil alam niyang hindi pa annulled ang kasal nila ni Shantal. He still remembered the last day they spent together at Rodriguez mansion. A very tragic moment when he forced himself on her out of so much jealousy and pain. He was so desperate and felt devastated that night, yet Shantal had provoked her.Pagsakay niya ng kotse ni Ryan napansin nito ang malungkot niyang mukha. He wa
