Zoey woke up on the bed with a blanket that was tacked her in, a glass of water on her bedside and a piece of sweet lullaby music playing across the room. After she lost her consciousness behind the door while shouting Michael's name, she doesn't remember anything anymore.
She checked herself under the sheet only to found out that it is not a new set of clothes that embraces her body. She timidly cries by herself when the door slowly opens.
"Zoey?" An old lady said as she slowly enters the room with a tray of porridge and a glass of hot cocoa. Zoey skeptically looked at the lady who walks slowly towards her. Never in her wildest imagination that Granny C will tolerate the craziness of her grandson.
"Hello, there to my favorite granddaughter in law." Granny C smiled wildly to the girl lying on the bed. "You knew this Granny? Zoey asked with mixed emotions.
Should she be happy that she wasn't completely alone with Michael and that she might help her escape or whether to be happy that maybe, but please, Granny C attended her needs from the start and not Michael?
"I know your hungry Zoey girl, here eat your porridge. I made it myself. Michael will be here any minute now." Granny C neglected Zoey's question of whether she knew all of this or not.
Michael is Granny C's favorite grandchild. She knew that he was just young and immature when he lost the love of his life when he cheated with her best friend. Zoey is also her favorite relative-in-law that is why she helped her grandson execute this abduction to make her realize that Michael is really the man for her.
Michael keeps his contact with his grandmother ever since he moved out of his paternal home. For him, it is always his granny that has his back from the beginning so he promised that he would never keep a secret from her.
Indeed her favorite grandson, because Granny C planned everything to make this young couple be together again.
Despite all the years that had passed, Granny reconnect with Zoey's grandmother to have an insight of all Zoey's activity since they started planning this abduction. Zoey's grandmother is oblivious of all her granddaughter's hardship under the Cortez lad.
Even though this information was all useless because what would a grandmother with dementia knows about her child's well being.
"Zoey considers this as a recreational vacation for you and Michael. You, young people, need to have time together to rebuild your love from one other." Granny C said as she set the table for Zoey.
'Craziness is real in their blood. Eh?'
"Don't worry. I would let anything happen to both of you." Granny C assured her that no one would ever find them.

Nickel hasn't been himself for the past two weeks. He even requests for a long vacation as he cannot handle being the head of ASC while search all the corners of the country to find Zoey.
Good thing that his friend, Vernon, was available as on OIC for ASC while Nickel tried to become the next Inspector Gadget of the Philippines.
Vernon brought his team to the country to aid all the necessities of ASC.
"Vernon, will you stop checking on me every hour. I need my phone to be available in case some call me regarding Zoey's location. And YES. I ate my meals three times a day. Sleep more than 6 hours every night and can still manage to make myself clean and presentable." Nickel was driving when Vernon called him for the third time that day.
"Dude, ping me whenever you need something. I'm ready to help."

The Alcantaras also have their way of finding their precious daughter. They used all their means to locate Zoey. Among the remaining Alcantaras, Fatima is the most devastated. It is her daughter that we're talking here. The daughter whom she hasn't seen for years until she was relocated here by her company. The daughter she missed so much.
"Mom, you have to eat your food. You need to be strong so that Zoet will be assured that you won't be sick when she comes back. Mom, we have to be strong too for Zoey." Zick is also worried about his mom's conditions. Its either she is crying or dazed somewhere else.

Even Zoey's friends made an effort to find their friends on their own. They tried all their ways to find where the mother fucker Michael. Zoey's friend hated that guy since their younger days and now their hatred reached infinity for abducting their friend.
Shane is also embarrassed to face Zoey's family because she is now an in-law of the guy who took her best friend away.
She has been in a bad mood when she heard the news of what her cousin-in-law did. Even Leo got into a hot spot for what his cousin did.
Now that Shane is also weeks pregnant (she doesn't know yet) her mood spike from zero to one hundred real quick.
