(Later)
(Morena regains consciousness)
CEO: Morena, What happened? You fainted.
Morena: (rubs her eyes) Ohh, I'm okay now sir.
CEO: As I was saying, I want you to have this restaurant....
Morena: (pinches herself) Is this a dream?
CEO: (laughs) No. It's reality.
(Morena begins to cry tears of joy)
CEO: (smiles) You're crying?
Morena: (crying) Thank you so much sir. This is a dream come true.
CEO: You're welcome.
Morena: (she cleans her tears but is still unable to stop crying) I'm sorry sir. It's just coming out...
CEO: (smiles) Its tears of joy. Look, You really deserve this. You're smart, hardworking, a wonderful cook. And all that talent and gifts can't go to waste....All you need to do now is to sign a contract so that I can legally hand it over to you, So I'll discuss with my lawyer...
Morena: (cleans her tears) No problem sir.
(Meanwhile)
(Alicia goes to Celine's house)
Alicia: Babe, I'm ready.
Celine: Wow. So early?
Alicia: Yeah..
Celine: (checks her out) Wow. You look good.
Alicia: Yeah babe, I wanna look presentable to you sister.
Celine: Alright. Just hold on, I need to freshen up.
Alicia: No problem babe.
(Later)
Celine: I'm ready. Let's go.
(Celine drives Alicia to Cecilia's house)
Celine: Alicia, I just want to let you know that if you're going to work for my sister, You'll need to behave yourself and always obey all her instructions.
Alicia: Ok...
Celine: And she can be very crazy and hot tempered, Don't let her know you're crazy as well...
Alicia: No problem babe. As far as she payin' me good money.
Celine: Good. We're almost there.
(Later that day)
(At Uncle Roberto's house)
Morena: Good evening uncle.
Uncle Roberto: Welcome back. How was work today?
Morena: Magnificent! The greatest thing happened. The CEO of the restaurant I work in took me to a brand new restaurant and he said he wants me to have it.
Uncle Roberto: (amazed) Wow!
Morena: We're going to sign a contract tomorrow so he can legally hand it over to me.
Uncle Roberto: This is great news. I'm happy for you.
Morena: Thank you sir...
Uncle Roberto: (sighs) I've already filed for a divorce to cancel my marriage with Maria. I don't want to have anything to do with that demon ever again. I'll just focus on the only child I have left.
Morena: (looks down) I don't even know what to say...
(Just then, Juan enters the living room)
Morena: Juan! I bought something for you - lots of chocolates, sweets and biscuits.
Juan: (poignantly) Thank you.
(He goes back into his room)
Uncle Roberto: (sighs) He has refused to eat since yesterday.
Morena: I understand...He just lost his twin sister and his mother got put in jail. That's really difficult for a child to go through.
Uncle Roberto: We should just leave him alone...
Morena: No, Loneliness might worsen his case. Now's the time he'll need someone to confide in. I'll go talk to him...
(Morena goes to Juan's room)
Morena: Hi Juan.
(Juan remains silent)
Morena: Juan, I totally apprehend what you're going through right now.
Juan: (quietly) My sister's dead and my mom is in jail.
Morena: I'm aware. Look, Sometimes bad things happen and there's nothing we can do about them. We just have to move on. You know, I lost my mom when I was about your age. I felt really devastated but I remembered that, When there is life. There is hope.
Juan: Really?
Morena: Yes. I know I can never take the place of your mother or your sister but I just want you to know that I'll always be there for you, Okay?
(Juan nods his head)
Juan: (crying) I love you, Morena.
Morena: I love you too.
(Juan hugs Morena and she hugs him too)
(Minutes later)
(She goes back to the living room)
Morena: Uncle, I'll be going to visit Aunt Maria in prison later.
Uncle Roberto: What for?
Morena: I want to go and give her food. I'm sure they don't feed them well.
Uncle Roberto: Wow. So you actually care about the person that literally tried to kill you....You're really special.
Morena: Sometimes it isn't good to pay evil with evil. She's already learnt her lesson the hard way.
Uncle Roberto: (sighs) Hmmm...
Morena: That place is a hell hole. I wish we could get her out of there.
Uncle Roberto: Unfortunately, The court refused to grant her bail. (sighs) There's nothing else we can do.
Morena: You don't have to pretend to be innocent Uncle, I know you were the one who called the police on her.
Uncle Roberto: I'm not even going to deny it. I mean, I've always known Maria to be so insecure but I never knew it'll reach the extent of trying to murder someone out of envy and hatred. First, She burnt you with an iron and you got hospitalized, Next, She tried to poison you and my daughter paid the price for her wickedness. Who knows what she would have done next? I couldn't take any chances....
Morena: (sighs) Some part of me feels sorry for her for what she's going through right now.
Uncle: It's just karma....
(Later on)
(At Cecilia's house)
Celine: Sis, The lady is here.
Cecilia: Hmm, Ok. Let her in.
Celine: Alicia. Come in.
Cecilia: (recalls her) Alicia?
(Alicia enters the house and much to her displeasure, She sees Cecilia)
Alicia: (shocked) Cecilia?
Cecilia: (angrily) Celine! Why did you bring this streetfighter to my house?!
Alicia: (To Celine) Is it this stupid bitch you actually brought me to work for? (points at Cecilia)
Celine: (confused)
Alicia: Wow, So she's you sister? (looks around the house) So Cecilia, This is the shack you live in?
Cecilia: So Alicia, This is the shack you plan to work in? (she retorts)
Alicia: (To Celine) Babe, I'mma prefer to die of hunger than to work for this stupid bitch...
Cecilia: (retorts) And what do I need a scoundrel like you for? You would only wreck my home. (hisses) Get out of my house!
Alicia: (infuriated) Fuckin' stupid bitch! (Sh
(Alicia destroys Cecilia's photo frame before she angrily exits the house and she slams the door at Cecilia)
Cecilia: (hisses) Idiot! (To Celine) Celine, How dare you bring that thing into my house?
Celine: I'm really sorry sis. I wasn't aware that you and Alicia know each other and aren't on good terms...
Cecilia: (furiously) Alicia is such a crazy useless girl. We were working in the same restaurant before she got fired for her terrible cooking and behavioral misconduct. Before you can say anything, She's already chasing you with a knife.
Celine: I didn't know...
Cecilia: Where on earth do you even know her from?!
Celine: We once worked together in a milkshake factory. I befriended her cause she was really kind and helpful to me and I wanted to repay her....
Cecilia: Whatever. Don't ever bring that crazy lunatic near my house, I don't want to ever see her again.
Celine: (sighs) No problem sis.
