Flying back home, Belen kept replaying Noah's reaction.
She tiredly glances at her phone, "there's no way he'll call me, yet I'm already looking forward to his call." Gasp! Belen recalls, "I did call Everest letting him know I'm heading back home…did I?"

Belen's footsteps were heavy when she stepped out of the car and walked towards her mansion. The large gates opened to her arrival, but Belen hesitated for a minute when she thought, "I don't want to enter…I'm afraid that if I do then." She nervously stares at the daunting gates, "Swallow me up…and I'll never be able to escape."
With a tight fist, Belen courageously walks inside as the gates close.
Her shoulders slumped at the familiar sight of the gates locking her up in the comfort of her home. The mansion she worked so hard to buy and call her own, with all its glory, luxuries, and beauty. But unfortunately, the only one residing in that home is Belen Astares.
