She pulled her hand from the grip that Troy is holding."I was Sweetheart, until your mother called to tell me that our baby was brought home by your bodyguard." Mateo replied but he is shooting fiery glares at Troy's direction . Who immediately released Lorraine's hand. While his other hand massage his cheek that made contact with her palm."Wait a minute, your mother? She is alive?.... Your baby?... You have a baby?" Troy was confused. Suspended into the revelation he just heard."Of course! Duh! You should have made your investigations more thorough. Why would I be in a pediatric clinic? You would not think I came here for a broken nails?""Yeah... Didn't I warn you before. That you're barking at the wrong tree?

"Something between you and Theo dear?""Mom , why did you say that?""I can't help but noticed that you keep on avoiding your husband, you were civil to each other when there is someone else around..""Mom..." She doesn't know how to answer her mother."I don't mean to pry on your marital problems dear but I feel that a few days giving him the cold shoulder might lead to serious problem if you won't be able to settle your differences sooner." Her mother advices."Mom... Do you mean that you and Dad will never be together again? You have been away for a long time, and still you avoided him like plague. You won't even try to speak to him. Why?""Hmmm... I don't know if you understand this Lorraine dear. There are much more than differences in ideas between us. Why do I feel the table has been turned towards me and your
Lorraine is in dilemma.but then as the woman opening and shut the drawers looking for something, she noticed the bags of food place in the coffee table. "Someone has been here?" She said aloud. "Alora! What are you doing here?" Mateo's secretary suddenly came inside the office surprised to see her assistant inside the room. "I.. Didn't you know that the HR needed some documents ASAP? Since you were not around I've done it myself." She reasoned out. " I brought the documents myself., on my way to my lunch break." Terry the secretary replied. "But they called when you were not on your table demanding that they need it ASAP." Terry acknowledged it, but she added."Boss doesn't leave his office unlocked when he is out, where did you get the key. Besides documents like that cannot be found in here." Terry again told her. "I... There must be a misunderstanding. I thought it was securedhere. Anyway I help myself with your key." "My key?" Terry was baffled. Her key to Mateo's office w
Instead of confronting Alora, Mateo check the bugging device that Lorraine said Alora place under his table. He also check his office room for hidden cameras and he was not surprised that they found two. After finding out that he is under surveillance instead of confronting Alora, Mateo left it as is and allow them to think that he doesn't know of the spying on his bussiness instead they planted a trap and treat her no less different from the previous times before she was discovered. In another place the real Alora Mendez is being kept in a secret room. Her captors allow her to eat and allow her to maintain her personal needs. But she wasn't allowed to get out of the room. When the lady who brought regularly her food came she pleaded. "Please! Let me go.I don't think I am of use to you." Alora pleaded with the lady. "Listen child to me you cannot be of use, I don't go capture people to serve what I want. But I don't know how you can be of use to the master." The woman replied.
Once again Lorraine made a visit to Mateo"s office, but this time with another reason beside of having lunch together. upon reaching there he was out looking for Terry she saw that she was not on her table but Erika disguise as Alora was sitting there looking at some documents there. When she saw Lorraine there was subtle recogntion that was replace immediately with an enquiring smile. "What can I do for you ma'am? May I help you with something?" She asked. "Hi, I am looking for Theo. Since he is out I want to asked his secretary for his schedule, you must be her assistant." She replied. "What is the nature of your visit ma'am? Do you have an appointment?"She asked professionally with a hint of malice. "Do I need an appointment to treat my husband to lunch? By the way I'm Lorraine Collins Mateo's wife." She replied and offered her hand in handshake. She played along to Erika's acting but she was surprise at how she responded to her act of friendship much more when her handshak
"Actually I got help." Alora recalled the time when she bit he key to the door of the kitchen .that was place inside he food, and told the story with them.The flashback;"Ouch!" Alora felt the hard thing that offended her mouth. She look at the direction of the surveillance camera and take cover as she took out the thing from her mouth. She was shocked to see that it is a key.She wondered for what is the key is it intentionally place or is it what she thinks is it to gain her freedom.She continued to eat but this time with care Incase there is some clues to shed light on that thing she found in her food. But she is already almost finished with her food but there is nothing."Maybe it belongs to the careless cook's. The key found its way to my food. Eeew!" She thought imagining where are the places it came from. But as she want to push her food away her spoon hit bottom of the plate, and that's where she saw at the bottom of the plate a piece of paper is taped in a plastic wrapper.
"Uncle Ronnie!" Alora rushed towards her uncle and hug him.who just a few years older than her. She was so glad to finally seeing a familiar face. He was her only remaining relative . They became closer when her mother died. When Ronnie offered his help to the distraught cousin.

But Ronnie's father refuses to follow the family's ideas, he was the brother of Alora's father. He never disown his younger brother, he tried to help him and his family.
