He hurriedly left the room and confronted Señor and Almira. His face flushed with anger and irritation.

"Who gave you the right to meddle in our room?!" he raised his voice.

"I did," his grandfather casually replied.

"Why? Why did you interfere?!" he seemed to be losing his temper.

"That room is spacious. It becomes even more comfortable with Miguel's crib," Almira explained.

"You," he approached the woman and held her chin. With intensity, he shook her, "What right do you have to disrespect all the memories my wife left?"

"Monte!" Señor was frightened by his actions. He wasn't a violent person, so this seemed to surprise him.

"Return my wife's belongings to our room. When I come back, everything should be in order!" He pushed Almira towards the sofa. "Don't test me, Grandfather. I'm not afraid to lose my inheritance. You'll be the ones losing if I leave!" He left them stunned. Not a single person dared to speak. He slammed the door on his way out.

    "I'm sorry, Monte. But this is the truth," Lovie de Luna said sadly.Bernard, too, was shocked by the discovery. "Life isn't perfect. You may have a lot of money, but true wealth isn't something you can acquire or buy—it's having a child," Bernard reflected in his thoughts."This can't be," he couldn't believe it."This might be the reason why you and Ericka haven't had children despite being together for a year," Lovie comforted him."Does this mean Miguel isn't my son?" he didn't know whether to be relieved or confused."What do we do now?" Bernard asked."I need to hold that Almir responsible for ruining my life!" Monte replied with frustration, clenching his fists as the blood seemed to rush to his head."You made a mistake, Almira. Maybe you fooled Grandpa, but not me. You need to be held accountable for all your deceit!""Who can you trust at home to ensure you get the child and bring them to the laboratory?" Lovie asked."Jeremy!" he quickly grabbed his phone and searched for J

    POV: AlmiraAlmira overheard Monte and Jeremy's conversation, so she approached Jeremy."Hey, gay guy, why is Monte going home?" she pulled him to the side."Um... well... nothing, ma'am," he stammered nervously."You idiot! Do you want me to tell señor that you switched the sperm he passed to the laboratory?" she threatened him."Ma'am, please. We're in this together," he replied."Damn it!" she slapped him. "I can still go abroad. What about you? You're not even a nurse, just a masseuse, right? Remember, I'm the one who helped you get a job!""Ma'am, that's enough. I'm really tired of all the things we're doing!" he firmly refused."I'll decide when you'll stop, okay?" she angrily pointed at Jeremy. "Maybe you'd like me to bury you somewhere, and no one would know until you die!"Jeremy was frightened by her words, regretting his collaboration with Almira.

    "What about you, Rizza? Are you ready?" she asked while looking at the confident woman standing in front of her."I've been ready, Almira. This is really my dream," she replied, putting on her shoes."Just make sure that once you place it, leave immediately. You might end up making a bet," she reminded her."I know that, Almira. We usually do this in the mountains," she said while tying her hair."Are you sure you want to be the one doing it? Can't we get someone else to do it?" she asked with concern in her voice."Almira, you know me. I'm careful in doing things," Rizza answered arrogantly."When will you consider me your sister?" she asked, surprising Rizza."How will you accept someone like me as a sister, who's known for her bad behavior? Honestly, I was afraid to acknowledge you before because rumors about your bad character were widespread. But not all the time, you're bad."She just looked at Rizza. More than a year has passed since she learned that she had a half-sister. Her

    He couldn't believe that Almira could commit such a heinous crime. He knew she had a bad temper, but he never thought she could kidnap his grandfather and friend."Am I to blame for what's happening in my life? Did I pave the way for her to become this evil woman who only wants me to love her?"He cried in the living room out of intense worry. Various thoughts raced through his mind. 'What if I never see my grandfather again? What if something bad happens to Monica? I can't handle what's happening in my life.'Lost in his thoughts, he didn't notice Bernard and Lovie entering with the police."Hey," Bernard called out, "I haven't told Monica's parents yet. We've also stopped the media coverage. Has Almira called?""Not yet," he replied, holding his cellphone. "I'm getting worried.""We are too," Lovie said, sitting beside him and comforting his back."Do you know any places owned by the Madrigals?" a police officer asked, holding a paper and pen."Their houses around Manila and... and

Rizza pulled her by the hair, almost ripping her scalp.She cried in pain, unable to resist and forced to follow Rizza's direction. They passed by numerous casualties, some lifeless."Rizza!" Almira called, "Have you seen that monster? Come on, let's escape!""I can't, I can't leave them," Rizza refused, handing Almira something. "Hold onto this!""Rizza!!!"

    His cellphone rang. It was Monica."Oh, how are you?" he greeted her.'Are you busy?'"Not really, why?"'Good, I'm in the elevator. Bye.'"This girl is really weird," he murmured, shaking his head.It had been two months since his grandfather passed away, and it was the first time he would see Monica again after she was taken by her parents to another country to unwind. They had talked on the phone, and Monica seemed anxious in their last conversation. Perhaps she couldn't wait to share her stories.The door opened, and there was Monica. She was wearing pants and a blouse, an outfit she rarely wore when meeting him. She was a fashionista."Monte," she looked serious."Why?" he asked."I'm sorry," she hugged him, and he felt her wet clothes."Why are you crying?" he patted her back. He guided her to sit on the sofa in his office's corner. He grabbed tissues and water from the mini fridge. "Have a drink first.""I couldn't tell you right away," she took a breath.

After a few minutes of waiting, she arrived, confidently striding toward him."Hi, my dear," she greeted, attempting to give him a cheek kiss, but he blocked her. "You're so unfriendly.

They've run out of clients, hence their desperate actions. They've deceived not just a hundred people, but many more." They laid out photos that had circulated online, revealing the extent of their deceit."What's our first move, sir?" Ericka asked at the NBI."We'll expose them with their own tricks.

    "Really?" She was genuinely surprised by what she learned. "So, most likely, they're seeking revenge against us?""Yep," Bernard confirmed."That's why Shaina and Khaye have different last names. Shaina's father's sibling is Khaye's mother," Monica explained."Does Mrs. Dominguez have something to do with this?" she inquired."They started a business after Monte kicked her out. However, their equipment is expensive, so Shaina and the others in the office do setups like this. Due to shame, some remained silent, especially the elderly.

Molly teased her."Hhhaaah" She let out a heavy breath, "park on the side."They stopped by the roadside. She took out her cellphone and showed Molly a picture of her husband with Shaina."Holy shit! Is that for real?""Yes, Monte admitted it to me. Someone sent it just now. I know that place, the penthouse in the office building. We're going there." She answered."Legit?
