“Wait, that’s not true Rose. I and your little sister tried all our best to find you so you could be with her, I even sent an investigator to your town but he never saw you there! I looked for you for so many years but you weren’t found!” Claudia said holding Rose's arm to perhaps prevent her from leaving. “Then why did you pretend that you and father weren’t married from the beginning? I even mentioned my sister’s name but you had pretended and tried to fool me!” Rose yelled out at the top of her voice.“Because I found out that you hadn’t known about me yet, I didn’t want you to despise me without knowing the actual truth,” Claudia responded with a pitiful expression.“I know that you have nothing to do about this but we are all victims of lies. I also fell victim!” She added.“Mother told me something, you were the one who had imprisoned her abroad and that you were the reason why our family had gotten separated. So why do you think I should believe in you? Huh,” Rose asked plainl
Claudia poured herself a drink from the mini-bar. The sound of footsteps behind her made her twirl around to notice Tessa. “The maid just told me Ray was here with a girl, was it, Rose?” she asked, still trudging towards Claudia who was now busy sipping from her cup of drink.“Yes, Ray brought her here because he was asking for help regarding his problem with his parents.” She said taking a seat.“So, if you were to help him, how about Stephanie? She was the one who had lost a fiance!” Tessa exclaimed, helping herself with a glass of drink as well. “I do n't care about Stephanie because my only concern right now is Rose,” Claudia responded not glancing in her friend's direction.“You are planning something huh?” Tessa asked as a smile appeared on her face.“I’m going to use Rose to get back my family fortune from Jessica!” Claudia blurted out and that left her friend in a confused state.“Wait a minute, how on earth would you even do that? I’m very sure that it might not push through
Chantelle glared at the doctor in front of her with heavy and tired eyes while Mitch sat next to her. She seemed to be nodding at whatever the doctor was saying. “Tell me, have you felt this pain for a long time?” the doctor inquired. “Yes doctor, these past few weeks have felt like hell. I thought that the pain would go away but it only keeps getting worse!” she answered truthfully. “Have you been taking any medication?” the doctor questioned further.“I’m taking some herbal ones with my tea!” she answered.“I would suggest that you get a scan and blood test done. I think that would make us know the cause of your stomach pain Chantelle.” The doctor suggested.“Can you just give me a prescription instead?” Chantelle uttered politely. “It's your decision but I would strongly suggest that you do your test, I’m just worried about your pains and symptoms.” The doctor made it very clear. “Why don’t you want to go to the hospital and take some tests, auntie? I would come with you while
“Here!” Rose had said while handing Nora some papers that constitute their house bills, she checked her bag if the things she had inside them were complete and if nothing was forgotten.“Where are you going to? It's just too early!” Nora asked adjusting the while inked papers in her hands carefully.“I’m off to speak to Raya because we have something to discuss and clear things among ourselves, aunt Claudia keeps saying things differently and I want all three of us to meet up and talk!” Rose responded as she applied some lip gloss to her lips. “Until now, you are still not done looking for your Sisters!” Nora said, she pulled open the side drawer before setting the papers inside.“You know very well that there is nothing more important than looking for Sasha,” Rose replied as she took her bag for her to leave. The moment Nora pulled open the door, she noticed Ray.“Rose, your Prince Charming is here. I have to go back inside to finish up or I won’t get anything from the market!” Nor
Chantelle walked towards the kitchen area of her eatery to check on what they had prepared for today's sale but a short blinding pain at the side of her stomach made her relinquish her balance as she stumbled on some plate causing the whole items to fall to the floor. The sound of the breaking items only seemed to worsen the pain she was feeling.Mitch quickly ran down from the stairs toward her aunt. “Auntie, why don't you go see a doctor already? Your pains seem to be getting worse!” Mitch muttered worriedly but her aunt seemed to brush everything as usual.“I’m okay!” she responded to the little girl while trying to get on her feet again.“What would happen to me if the pain doesn't stop and something bad happens to you? Grandma Flora already left and you are the only family that I have got.” Mitch said almost in tears.“Wouldn't that at least make you happy when I’m gone forever? At least everything that I have would automatically become yours finally,” Chantelle told the little
The air after Rodrigo and Jessica had their conversation had been filled with silence. They both had been mute throughout their ride back home but the moment they got back to Jessica's residence, Jessica had decided to halt the silence between them.“Uhmmm Rodrigo, I want to thank you for your understanding. It’s not truly impossible for it not to happen but can you give me more time to fix these things!” She told him but he ignored her and walked away.“Hey, you guys are home?” Daina walked down the stairs towards Jessica. “Uhmm, where is Raya?” Jessica asked ignoring her question.“I truly have no idea because I thought she was with you all along!” Daina told.“I think I should call her because where could she be?” Jessica said, searching her bag for her phone. The moment she brought it out, she had dialed Raya’s number.After the third ring, she was beginning to get worried.“I have called and she isn’t answering any of my calls!” Jessica lamented a bit of worry in her expression.
Tessa had walked into her friend's master bedroom as they talked. “You did that? Are you out of your mind? How could you let your men hit you with a bullet?” Tessa yelled out loudly in shock and confusion.“Tessa, shuuuuuuu!” Claudia said placing a hand on her lips.“What's with you, would you please just lower your voice already? Someone might hear you and all the things I have done would be in vain,” she told her friend while she glared around.“What were you thinking of when you allowed them to shoot you?” Tessa questioned more calmly this time. “Do you think if I hadn't done that? The cops and Jessica would believe that I had nothing to do with this. If Jessica finds out, she might come for me while she brings the cops along!” Claudia explained to her friend. “She wouldn't believe that I had nothing to do with her daughter's kidnapping. When the time comes when she would accuse me, making the cops believe her would be hard because my life was put in danger and I had gone there t
“Officers, do you have any news on Rose Franco and her sister who got kidnapped?” Ray questioned the police officer as his friend Eric stood behind him. “Negative sir, we still haven’t found any leads to use in this case.” The officer told him but that had only infuriated him, “So, that’s all you are going to say? Keep on going around to get information. Officer, instead I think you should make another move!” He snapped at them.“Ray, Calm Down already. I think you should allow them to do their job!” Eric said, patting his shoulder.“You want me to Calm Down? How can I be calm when my girlfriend has been kidnapped by unknown men? You want me to sit and relax when I have no idea where she might be or what they might do to hurt her!” He told his friend while breathing hard. “Weren’t you the same person who told me that they are working on it? I think they are the ones taking care of it.” Eric told him not wanting him to cause a scene.“Have you thought of what might happen to Rose? I
Travis blinked his eyes before speaking. “I’m sorry that we didn't get to spend enough time with you but please know that we love you so much!” he said dropping the flower on the grave.“Goodbye to you now Aunt Chantelle. Thank you so much for everything because you offered your good life to me so I could have a longer life. I truly love and miss you, Aunt Chantelle!” the little girl said, sobbing hard.“Let's go home!” Travis said to his family after they had dropped the flowers they had all brought. That evening, Rose was dressed up in a very beautiful strapped gown because she was meeting up with Ray. He had given her an address at which she had just arrived in. For a second she had doubted if this was the exact place he wanted her to come to because something had felt off.The light in the whole place was off, and it looked dark. She had thought of calling him but the light turned on showing the decorated area.Rose raised an eyebrow in surprise, she took a moment to glance arou
Travis slowly walked towards Jessica, he bit his bottom lip trying hard not to fumble with whatever he had to say. “Jessica, I know that I have caused you so much pain. I wasn't there for our children but I hope that you can forgive me because not for a moment did I stop loving you.” Travis said, rubbing the nape of his neck. “Remember the man who promised to love you all his life? That's still me Jessica, I want you to please give me one last chance for the sake of our children for me to prove what I’m saying is the truth,” he begged, she stared at him for a few seconds.Her hands slowly caressed his cheeks softly before limping and placing a warm kiss on his lips, and right after they hugged themselves tightly. “Rose?” the voice of Ray came gaining her attention.“Ray?” she responded before striding towards where he stood. “Rose, my father and I already talked, and he had told me everything. He told me that nothing had happened between you two and that you were a good woman.” Ra
Ray was eating out with his friend Eric when his attention landed on a familiar face in the bistro.“Be honest with me, are you getting back with Stephanie because of your mother or because you are still very much hurt by what Rose had done?” Eric questioned.Before he could say anything, Blake trudged toward where they are and that had pissed him off. Ray stood up from where he was seating, he grabbed Blake by the collar before punching him very hard in the face.“What are you doing here?” Ray yelled out angrily while his friend tried to pull him away. “Bro take it easy!” Eric said trying to hold him back.“Let's go of me!” Ray said, furiously. Blake on the other hand seemed to be recovering from the punch, he placed a finger at the side of his lips.“I didn't come here to pick a fight with you, I came here to make amends after I noticed you sitting here. I just want you to know that Rose didn't do anything wrong, I have known her to be a good person, and I know that she loves you
After Chantelle had heard what Tessa was saying on the phone. She slowly used another route in the hospital to leave without being noticed, she felt so much anger right now because Claudia had made them look like a fool.She got down from the taxi before running into the church where Jessica was about to get married. “Jessica?” she yelled out the moment she walked into the quiet church to see everyone seated.From the look of things, Rodrigo and Jessica had just stood at the altar to exchange vows.The murmuring from the seated crowd became vociferous. “Chantelle?” Jessica called in shock.“Jessica, you need to know something very important. It's Mitch, she is your missing daughter Sasha!” Chantelle told her but she looked beyond confused.“But how did that happen?” Jessica asked unsure if she had heard well.“I overheard a conversation between Claudia and Tessa earlier. They were talking about how they want to keep Mitch with them, Claudia basically wants to marry Travis so she cou
Their wedding day had finally arrived. Clara was still locked and being monitored by Claudia’s men, her men seemed to have brought breakfast for Clara who looked a mess.“Uh Marcos, isn't today the wedding of Claudia and Travis? Right?” she asked. “Yes, and the same wedding as Jessica and Rodrigo.” Marco had said and that had made Clara chuckle.“Seriously, those women are two crazy fools. Who would have thought that they would be getting married on the same day?” Clara uttered.“Um, what time is the wedding ceremony?” Clara questions further.“From what I heard, it’s happening later in the day by Two PM,” Marcos informed.“Can you please tell me the church where it would be held!” Clara asked, while she slowly pulled the iron from behind without him noticing.He was going to respond but she was quick to hit him with the iron on the head causing him to hit the floor. “Why haven’t I done this since? I’m coming for you Claudia, and I would make you pay for what you did to me!” Clara s
“Mitch, have you been there the whole time?” Claudia asked in a little hint of panic.“No, I just got here because I have been willing to apologize to you because I can be a little hard-headed sometimes. I’m truly sorry about that, and also I would like to thank you for taking very good care of me.” Mitch said with so much appreciation in her voice.“It's nothing Mitch, and I understand where you are coming from but what I really want for you is to be happy all the time because starting from today, I’m your new mummy!” Claudia told the little girl.“Thank you so much again!” Mitch said with a smile.“Alright then, why don't you go to Lisa’s room, you can play with her!” Claudia urged as the little girl nodded before leaving. “See that Clara, the kid almost caught us. Don't you dare do that again?” Claudia said with clenched teeth.“Why are you blaming me, Claudia? I was only borrowing money from you, why don't you just hand me the money so that I could leave!” Clara voiced.Claudia s
“What? You are telling me that June and Larry weren't Mitch's legitimate parents?” Claudia asked, surprised like she was hearing this for the first time.“That's right, Mitch heard the conversation between those two and tried to escape. It was a good thing that Raya, Jessica, and I had gone there!” Travis muttered while tucking both his hands in his pocket.“Uhmm but how comes was the DNA positive? I mean, the result that was shown to us clearly told us that they were related.” Claudia said with a stunned expression.“That was exactly what I couldn't place or understand. It made me wonder as well!” Travis spoke up.“Well, obviously the DNA test was fake, and I want to get to the bottom of this,” Travis said.“I would like to use the restroom real quick!” Travis said before leaving both Claudia and Mitch together. “Love, why do you seem so sad?” Claudia asked the moment she sat close to the little girl. “I was only thinking about my real parent, and who my real father and mother are.
“Hey, why do you look so happy even though Travis had completely left your home? Let me guess, is his annulment final?” Tessa asked her friend.“He is as good as annulled and by the look of things, I’m slowly getting the trust of Travis because he had told me earlier today that he would think about us getting married again, isn't that wonderful?” Claudia said giggling happily.“He truly said that, I think that I’m impressed!” Tessa comments. “Cheers!” Tessa said clinging her glass with Claudia’s.“Cheers,” Claudia responded doing exactly the same thing.“You know what, I’m truly amazed by how you are Claudia. Imagine, you were able to manipulate the DNA test that was meant for Mitch.” Tessa said shrugging her shoulder casually. “Of course, all it took was my money to have everyone in the hospital do what I want. Everyone nowadays can be swayed by money,” Claudia said. sipping from her cup. “You are right and now you are even getting closer to taking Mitch far away from Travis and M
“Attorney, there is this matter that I’ve been willing to ask. Is it okay if the both of us talk about it in private?” Rodrigo asked the Attorney who nodded. “Why don't we go over there?” the attorney said.“Jessica, can you please excuse me for a bit?” Rodrigo inquired, she nodded slightly before kissing her forehead softly. Jessica was going through the file while Rodrigo was away but the next voice had gotten her attention.“Jessica, I thought you had already left?” Travis asked taking a seat opposite her. “No, Rodrigo is still speaking with the attorney!” she informed. “I honestly didn't know that the hearing would take this long,” Travis said.“It's a good thing that I didn't bring the children. Were you able to visit Mitch?” Jessica questioned.“No, but I was able to visit their house yesterday. Larry had said that Mitch and her mother went to the mall but I honestly plan on visiting them tomorrow!” Travis explained.“Would you mind taking our daughters with you? You know wh
