Lenie and Zyra just ordered two Tequila Rose drinks. At that moment, Zyra hadn’t yet noticed that Lance was sitting at the table next to them.

However, since Lenie kept glancing at the other table, Zyra finally turned to look. Her lips parted in surprise when she saw Lance with someone else.

“Oh, it looks like Lance isn’t into you anymore,” Zyra whispered to her friend.

“Hmm, that’s fine. Actually, it’s a good thing. We won’t have any problems anymore since he’s already with someone else,” Lenie replied, but deep inside, what she saw hurt her.

“Then why do you sound sad? Are you jealous?” Zyra asked, concerned about her friend’s feelings.

Before Lenie could answer, their food arrived. They only continued their conversation after the waiter left.

“Huh? Me, jealous? Why would I be jealous? You’re overthinking things,” Lenie said, forcing a smile so Zyra wouldn’t notice the sadness in her eyes.

“Oh, I just thought you really were jealous. If you’re not, I’ll call Lance, okay? Just to say

    After two days, Lance immediately asked his secretary, Feliz, to call Lenie. At first, Lenie thought that Mr. Alfredo Martinez was the one summoning her. "Why is Mr. Martinez calling for me? Did he say anything to you, Feliz?" Lenie asked. "Ah, I don't know. I just ran into him earlier, and he told me to call you. He couldn't find you," Feliz replied. "Alright, I'll just go to his office. Thanks," Lenie said. She was about to leave to see Mr. Martinez when Feliz called her again. "Lenie, it's the younger Martinez who wants to see you, not the old one. Mr. Alfredo is in a meeting right now—you might just walk in on him." Lenie froze, her eyes widening at what Feliz said. She suddenly didn’t want to move. Feliz had to call her again to snap her out of it. "Hey, Lenie. Well? Are you going to move or not? Sir Lance has been waiting for you." Upon hearing that, Lenie finally moved. "Okay, okay! I'm going now," she said before hurrying to Lance’s office. 'Why is he calling for me?

    On the other hand, Alice found out Lenie’s number through a friend. She wanted to talk to her again because she felt that Lenie would be an obstacle between her and Alexis."Feliz, you work with Lenie Santos, right? Do you have her number?" Alice asked while they were at a coffee shop."Yes, why? How do you know her? Oh, wait, let me check my contacts for her number and give it to you," Feliz replied as she searched her phone."Ah, she used to work with my boyfriend. I just have something to ask her, so I need her number," Alice lied."Oh, I see. Here’s her number," Feliz said as she handed her phone to Alice to copy Lenie’s number."Alright, I’ve saved it. I’ll talk to her later. Thanks," Alice said, handing the phone back.When Alice got home to the mansion, she immediately called Lenie, but she didn’t answer. She tried twice more, but still, Lenie didn’t pick up.She only stopped when Beverly called her."Alice, my grandson is asking me to take him to the mall. Do you want to come?

    When Lenie arrived at the restaurant where Alice had asked her to meet, she was surprised because the woman immediately gave her a cold stare."Alice, I thought we were going to talk about Javi? Why are you looking at me like that? Do you have a problem again?" Lenie asked as she sat down across from Alice."Ugh, Lenie! You're still not learning! You're still so gullible! That's why you keep getting tricked!" Alice responded.Though confused, Lenie quickly figured out what Alice was trying to say."Did you trick me again? And used Javi to get me here? Wait, let me ask you something. What do you gain by doing this?" Lenie replied, annoyed."It's just to let you know that you still have a thorn in your life. No matter what you do, I won't stop until you're out of our lives!" Alice yelled, loud enough for everyone in the restaurant to hear."A thorn? What are you talking about? As far as I know, Javi and Alexis are with you now! You're getting married, right? What more do you want?!" Len

    When Alice returned to the mansion, she immediately fixed herself up. Beverly and Javi hadn’t come back yet, so she still had time to make herself look beautiful."I need to look good when Alexis comes home. I need to make it up to him because I've done so many things wrong," she thought.As she was putting on makeup, an unknown number called her. She didn't answer right away because she was busy.When the call came in again, she finally picked up. She was even excited, thinking it was Feliz using a different number."Feliz, I already talked to Lenie. Everything is okay—" she stopped mid-sentence when she heard the voice on the other end."Feliz? I'm not Feliz."Alice’s eyes widened. She thought she recognized the voice, but she hoped she was wrong.“W-Who is this?” she asked, stammering.“It’s impossible that you don’t know me. We were together for years. You still don’t recognize me?” the man on the other end said.“Impossible,” Alice whispered, but the caller heard her.“It’s not i

    After half an hour, Alexis arrived. He immediately smelled the beef caldereta that Edith and Alice had cooked.Excited, he went straight to the kitchen to taste it, despite being tired from work."Edith, good thing you cooked this for me. It’s perfect—I’m exhausted from work, so I’m really hungry," Alexis said before taking a bite of the beef caldereta."Oh, yes. I really cooked that for you. So? Does it taste good?" Edith asked."Of course! You cooked it, so I’m sure it’s delicious," Alexis replied with a thumbs-up.Alice had strictly instructed Manang Edith not to mention that she had helped with the cooking, as Alexis might refuse to eat it. That would just waste all their effort.Alexis was about to start eating dinner when he noticed Alice standing nearby, watching him. He wondered why she was so dressed up but assumed she might be going somewhere important."Aren’t you going to eat?" Alexis offered.Alice smiled at his invitation. She sat beside him, took some rice, and served h

    "What? That ring belongs to Lenie?! So you still won’t choose me?" Alice responded in disbelief.She was furious. So, there was never any love for her from Alexis. She wanted to lash out, but she held back because Beverly was there.She sat down on the bed and rubbed her face in frustration. Alexis, on the other hand, just stood there, looking down in shame. He felt guilty that Alice thought the ring was meant for her.He tried to approach her to apologize, but she was too angry. She sat there crying silently."Alice, I'm sorry. I bought that ring a long time ago, and I still have it because I still love her. I keep hoping that one day, she will wear it," Alexis admitted, which only made Alice angrier.It was as if Alexis had just slapped her with the harsh truth—he could never love her."And you really had to tell me that? Yes! I already know you will never love me, but did you have to rub it in my face? Then go ahead, marry her!" Alice shouted, finally losing control of her emotions

    The next morning, while Beverly was having breakfast, she saw Alice leaving with Javi, and to her surprise, Alice was carrying a suitcase.She immediately called out to Alice to ask where they were going. She was starting to feel anxious because she had a strong feeling that the two were leaving her care."Hija, why are you carrying a suitcase? Where are you and my grandson going?""Mommy, I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can live here anymore with your son," Alice replied.Beverly was confused because, as far as she knew, her son was still planning to marry Alice."Huh? What are you talking about, dear? Didn’t we already talk about this? You and Alexis are going to push through with the wedding. What happened this time? Are you two fighting again?" Beverly asked with concern, not wanting to be separated from her grandson."Just ask your son what happened last night. He’s the one at fault here," Alice responded.At that moment, Alexis suddenly came out of his room. He was shocked to see

    On the other hand, Lester had truly befriended Lenie—not just her but also Zyra. Sometimes, Zyra would even tease her friend because so many men kept approaching Lenie. "You’ve really changed, BFF! Three guys are hovering around you now. Give me one, will you?" "Crazy! Lester is just being friendly with me. Besides, even if he were courting me, it wouldn’t be possible. He’s Alice’s ex-boyfriend. She might come after me again and claim that Lester still belongs to her! Ugh, I’m tired of dealing with that," Lenie replied. "Well, you never really know what goes on in that girl's mind. But she’s just an ex-girlfriend now, so she should stop making a scene!" Zyra responded. A few minutes later, there was a knock on Lenie’s condo door, but since she was busy, she asked Zyra to open it for her. "BFF, can you open it, please? You know I’m still working on what Mr. Martinez asked me to finish." "No problem, I got this. Are you expecting someone?" Zyra said before opening the door. She w

    AFTER A YEAR. . . As soon as Lenie stepped into their house, Alexis greeted her with a passionate kiss. They didn't care if they bumped into walls or doors as they kissed intensely. Lenie, however, found the courage to stop the kiss when Alexis started removing her blouse. "Oh, why did you stop? Is there a problem?" Alexis asked, seemingly disappointed. "I-I just want to take a bath first before... you know," Lenie said, her face turning red with shyness. Alexis smiled and teased her. "Is that all? I love your scent even when you're not yet bathed." Lenie covered her mouth in shock, and Alexis continued to tease her. "Come on, please?" he whispered, caressing her body. Lenie pushed Alexis away. "Alexis, I'll take a bath first." Alexis looked disappointed, but Lenie smiled and whispered, "Promise, when I get back, you'll enjoy it." Alexis's eyes lit up, and he waited eagerly for Lenie to return from her bath. When she came out, Alexis immediately swept her off her feet

    At the wedding reception alone, Lenie was already hearing all sorts of comments from the guests. Some wanted them to have a child immediately, while others thought they should wait. She didn’t know what to do. She was already feeling pressured, even though she had just become a Ramirez."Oh, please don't pressure my wife," Alexis interjected. "Besides, we already have a child—Javi, right? It’s better if we focus on him first. After all, he’s still young.""Huh? But isn’t he your child with Alice? The one who got imprisoned? You know, it would still be better if you and Lenie had a child together. It just feels different," one of the wedding guests commented.They quickly decided to have Javi moved away so he wouldn’t hear anything further. Both Lenie and Alexis closed their eyes in frustration, and Beverly noticed it."Yaya Sol, please take Javi inside. Check if he needs to rest. I’m sure he’s tired," Alexis instructed."Alright, Sir. I’ll put him to sleep," Yaya Sol responded.After

    After a few weeks, the two finally decided to say goodbye to Alice. Even though they didn’t know how she would react, they still wanted to try, especially since they were leaving the country with Javi after the wedding."Are you sure about this? You know what kind of attitude that woman has. I don’t know why she still hasn’t forgiven you," Alexis said."Alexis, until she forgives me, I won’t stop. I don’t even know why I’m still hoping we can fix things, even if it seems impossible," Lenie replied."Oh, wow. I really admire you. That’s why I’m marrying you—you’re so brave. I just hope she finally forgives you, and of course, forgives herself too. She’s the one responsible for everything, after all," Alexis said before kissing his fiancée on the forehead."Ugh, you’re spouting nonsense again. Fine, I know you’re head over heels for me. Let’s go now and visit her in prison," Lenie said.They brought Javi along so Alice could see her son. Honestly, every time Lenie saw her former friend

    Lenie was completely surprised when she realized that Mang Dante had taken her to a beautiful outdoor restaurant.She was even more shocked to see all the people closest to her gathered there. Thoughts started forming in her mind about why they were there, but she didn’t want to assume anything."Ma'am, I’m sorry. I was just following orders," Mang Dante said as he parked the car."Oh, that’s okay. I should be the one apologizing for thinking badly of you earlier. I had no idea they were planning to surprise me," Lenie replied.After parking, Lenie gathered her things and stepped out of the car.As she slowly walked inside, her eyes widened even more at how breathtaking the place was. She looked around and spotted Zyra and Lance. Beverly was also there, carrying Javi. Surprisingly, even some employees from RCG attended, despite not being very close to her.She was also shocked to see Gaustav, Zyra’s beloved. Her friend had always said that he rarely attended gatherings.Even Daphne wa

    AFTER 1 YEAR. . .Alice was already in prison, and Lenie was happily living in the Ramirez mansion. She had returned to RCG as an employee of Alexis, with strict instructions that she should not be given any high position in the company, even though she already knew how everything worked.Her relationship with Alexis had also improved, and they promised each other that no matter what challenges came their way, they would face them together.While they were having lunch, Beverly suddenly spoke up."Lenie, when will you be having your baby? I would love for my grandson, Javi, to have a sibling."Lenie almost spit out the juice she was drinking upon hearing that. Alexis, sitting beside her, chuckled.Although embarrassed, Lenie responded, as she still felt nervous whenever she talked to Beverly."Ah, Auntie… that's not in our plans yet. Besides, your son hasn’t even proposed to me yet," she said, laughing to herself.This time, it was Alexis who choked on his drink, laughing at Lenie’s r

    The next day, Lenie, Alexis, and Javi went to the hospital where Alice was staying. At first, they hesitated about whether Lenie should enter the room. "Are you sure you can face Alice? She might say something hurtful to you," Alexis asked worriedly before they entered Alice's room. Lenie simply smiled before replying, "Of course. I don't care what she says anymore. I have you both with me, so what else could be a problem?" Hearing that, Alexis also smiled. "You really are something. Alright, let's go!" Alexis said. They all entered the room together. Alice smiled upon seeing Javi, but her expression changed the moment she saw Lenie. "Everything was fine until I saw her. Why is she even here? Alexis, I was okay with just you and our son visiting me!" Alice complained. "Alice, relax. There's nothing we can do about it. Javi asked her to come. You know no one can say no to your son," Alexis replied. "Then you should have stopped him. I really thought I'd feel better after seeing

    Lenie had already returned to the mansion. Edith and the other household staff of Alexis’ family immediately welcomed her.At first, Lenie felt shy since it had been a long time since she last visited the mansion. Edith just smiled at her."Where are Mommy Beverly and Javi, Edith?" Alexis asked the elderly woman."Oh, they’re in the playroom, Alexis. They don’t even know that you're coming," Edith replied."Ah, okay. We’ll go see them. Thanks," Alexis said.They headed to the playroom and knocked on the door."Come in," Beverly said.As soon as they opened the door, Beverly was shocked to see Lenie. Embarrassment was visible on her face.She immediately approached them while holding Javi’s hand. Javi, excited, also ran toward them."Alexis, son. Why didn’t you tell me that you and Lenie were coming home from the hospital? I would have at least prepared some food for us," Beverly said."Ah, sorry, Mommy. I wasn’t able to do that because I got busy earlier," Alexis replied."Daddy! Mama

    As soon as Lenie arrived outside Alice's room, she felt a deep sadness upon seeing the number of police officers stationed there. She couldn't help but feel pity for her former friend, Lenie was now seated in a wheelchair."Do there really have to be this many police officers guarding her? Can’t you at least reduce the number? She probably won’t be able to escape anymore," Lenie asked, almost pleading with Alexis."I'm sorry, Lenie. That decision is up to the police, and I can’t convince them otherwise. They’re just being cautious in case Alice still has accomplices. She committed too many crimes," Alexis replied, his voice tinged with regret that he couldn’t grant Lenie’s request.Lenie simply nodded. She understood that Alexis had a point, but from what she remembered, Alice no longer had any family, which would make it difficult for her to escape even if she wanted to.When they entered Alice’s room, Alexis stepped in first, causing Alice to smile at him. However, her expression qu

    While in the hospital, Zyra and Alexis took care of Lenie after their work at RCG.Lenie was happy and no longer complained about the attention Alexis was giving her. She had accepted that she and Alexis truly loved each other and that it would never change.One day, while Alexis was watching over her, Lenie suddenly became concerned about the person who had wronged her."Alexis, how is Alice? Who's taking care of her now? Did you assign her a personal nurse?" Lenie asked. Alexis just smiled, amused by Lenie's kindness toward Alice."Oh, no. There are nurses checking on her every now and then, so I think she doesn't need one. Sometimes, I visit her to check on her myself. After all, she can’t walk anymore, right?" Alexis replied."Alexis, she should have someone with her. We know she has no family left, don’t we? She needs company now more than ever because of what happened to her," Lenie said, genuinely worried about Alice.Alexis just smiled, seeing how kind Lenie was to Alice despi
