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
Brielle had return to the restaurant where his mom and nanny been staying. Tahimik itong bumalik sa upuan niya na kaagad napansin ni Shantal. Namumula ang mata ng anak niya at halatang galing sa pag-iyak.“Hey, babe are you okay?” she asked her son“Yes, I’m fine Mom” nakatungo ang ulo nito habang sumagot“Are you sure? You've looked like crying? Is there anyone making you upset?” lumapit siya sa tabi nito“Nothing, I’m okay. I wanted to go back to our room after we eat,”“I thought you wanted to stroll around after our dinner,” she said again“No, I wanted to sleep. I don’t want to sta
Hindi mapakali si Shantal ng mabasa ang mensahe mula sa taong nagpadala ng bulaklak sa kanya. Ramdam niya ang galit at poot ng kung sino man ito. Paulit-ulit niyang inaalala kung sino ang may matinding galit sa kanya. Nakapagbihis na siya ng pantulog at nakaupo sa receiving area ng accommodation nila, ramdam niya ang pagod ng mga sandaling iyon. She can’t remember whom among their sponsors that she might get offended. Kanina naalala niya ang taong nakasuot ng mask at may binulong sa tenga niya. Hindi niya alam kung aling company ito galing dahil sa dami ng lists ng kanilang major sponsors. Nahihiya rin siyang magtanong sa organizer dahil ayaw niyang mag-ignite ito ng controversy. Hangga’t maaari umiiwas siya na halungkatin ang pribadong buhay niya dahil kay Brielle. Only selected people knew Brielle’s existence and she doesn't want to drag her son into a messy world of entertainment.
Confused, tired and so much stressed, Shantal’s emotions when they got home. She’s still taking care of his son inside Brent’s old room. Pagbaba nila ng eroplano sa NAIA naka-abang na rin ang local reporters, dahil siya ay kilalang Fashion Model & celebrity, binigyan sila ng special treatment at bodyguards. They arrived home easily using the back door exit of the airport. She’s so afraid of facing another bunch of reporters questioning her son. Pakiramdam niya di niya na halos kaya ang bigat ng pinagdaanan niya ngayong nadamay si Brielle. Nang mga sandaling iyon sunud-sunod na patak ng luha ang umagos sa mga mata niya habang yakap ang natutulog na anak. Ito ang unang pagkakataon na humarap siya sa mabigat na personal issues. Naalala niya na naman ulit ang araw mismo na pinaalis at inakusahan niya si Brent Sa harapan ng maraming tao at pinahiya niya ito, kaya bigla niyang naisip na mas masakit pala ang ganong pakiramdam na l
Brent had prepared everything for his return to his country. Ayon sa Assistant niyang si Ryan nagawa na nito ang mga ipinag-uutos niya. Bago siya nagpasyang umuwi ng Pilipinas inayos muna niya ang bagong project nila. Nag-iwan siya ng instructions sa mga trusted employees niya. Inaantay niya ang pagdating ni Erick sa Villa niya dahil ngayong araw ang usapan nilang sunduin siya nito.Dala ng tensyon na nararamdaman sa maaaring paghaharap nila ng asawa niya ilang beses na siyang uminom ng wine upang kalmahin ang sarili. Narinig niya ang ingay ng sasakyan sa gate ng Villa. Mabilis na bumaba ang kasambahay niya at binuksan ang gate. Ilang saglit lang nakita na niyang bumaba ng sasakyan si Erick. Sinundo ito ng driver niya mula sa airport. Nakangiting umakyat ito sa bahay niya. Nasa terrace siya ng second floor at tanaw niya ang pagdating nito. Ilang minuto lang palapit na ito sa kanya.
