Previously......
Claire:Your mommy here is going to Singapore for two years.
Carmen:But why mommy?Will you come back?
David:So you're leaving for two years?
Claire:I'm sorry but i have to.
Roxannie:One thing that i always regret is to accept Claire as a wife to my son.I wish i knew.She would never ever have been a Ladesma.
Doctor:I know it's hard for you to accept but that's
the truth.You have a miscarriage.
Claire:My baby is not dead David!David my baby
is alive.
Air hostess:Miss?Miss are you okay?What about some water?
Claire:I just told you am fine!I don't need anything!

Air hostess:Am sorry for the distabance.(continues
serving the other passengers)
Passenger:(next to Claire)I can see and feel that
you are not okay.Tell me.You can share
it with me.I'll be happy to help.Hmm?
Claire:I just remembered something from the past.
Passenger:(smacks her lips)Is it something to do
with your family?
Claire:(sighs)It's my mother-in-law.She hates me.
Passenger:(surprised)Oh,my,you are married?But
you are so young by just looking at you.
Claire:Who,me?You must be joking.Am only 25
years old.
Passenger:Oh,you know what,my son is 20 years
old now.He is studying medicine in
Singapore and that's why am going
there.
Claire:Wow,that's so great.He is so lucky to have
you on his side.
Passenger:It's only that you are married.I would
have introduced him to you and maybe
who knows?You may end up bonding
and get married to a each other.
Claire:(flays her hand)Oh come on.But am older
than him.
Passenger:Is there a problem?You know what,age
is just a number.You could be his sugar
sugar mommy.(pats on Claire)Well,
isn't that what this generation believes?
That's what the world is now.(laughs)
Claire:(also laughs)Well,you have a point there
miss.(laughs again)
Passenger:(holds Claire's arm)But remember,i
don't advice you to do so.Okay?I can
see it from your eyes that you are a
good wife.Well,let's leave it there.But
you wanted to tell me some thing about
your mother-in-law.
Claire:(changes the smiley face expression and
fluffs some strands of hair to the back of her
of her right ear)
[Ladesma's mansion(11:21 am)]
(Katharine,Carmen and David arrive)
David:Carmen,go to your room.
Carmen:Okay daddy.(leaves)
Katharine:Sir,i'll prepare something for you to eat.
David:Prapare Carmen's too and bring it upstairs.
Katharine:Okay.
[Manilla highway(Jeska and Roxannie in their car]
Jeska:Roxy,let me ask you something.Are you
really mad that Claire has gone away from
your son?I mean,you always wanted her out
of the picture since the beggining?So why
be mad now that she is leaving.(applying gel
on her hair)
Roxannie:(swerves the car out of the car out of the
road and parks it)
Jeska:Wait.Why did we stop?
Roxannie:(exhales)Jes, do you think am mad
because she is gone?Am very happy
you know,and you of all people should
know that every action that i put into
place has an account.
Jeska:So what are you planning to do this time.
Roxannie:It's so simple for me to plan things now
within the two years before Claire comes
back to the country.
Jeska:I don't understand.What do you mean?
Roxannie:(fluffs her hair)David has to marry legally
now.
(Manilla Airbus 129 S)
Passenger:Claire,i'm a mother too and i
understand what you are going through.
Did your mother-in-law make you leave
your family?
Claire:No.Actually,am going for a spa project.
Passenger:I bet you are a model.So,that means
you have your own spa in the Phillipines
?What's the name of the spa?
Claire:Symphony skin care and beauty spa.
Passenger:That's great.You know what,i've always
bought my beauty products from the
company ever since it started and my
skin has been improving gradually.I bet
you are professional on skin care.
Claire:Thank you so much madam.
Passenger:Oh stop it.Let's get back to family
matters.So you told me that you once
had a miscarriage.Right?
Claire:Yes,but i suspect something or someone
had something to do with it because all i
ever did was nothing but to take good care
of the pregnancy all over the period.I never
took anything that would harm my baby.
Passenger:Well,don't you think your mother-in-law
had something to do with it?Maybe she
poisoned you or something.
Claire:I don't think so because i never took anything
to eat from her and all the food that i ate i
prepared it with my own hands.
Passenger:Well you should dig dipper and find
justice for your baby before it's too late.
Claire:Meaning?
Passenger:Investigate the miscarriage until you get
to know the root cause of your child's
death.Okay?Don't let it slide just like
that.
Claire:(nods her head in acceptance)I will.
[Manilla Highway(Roxannie's car)]
Jeska:What do you mean.Claire is already legally
married to David.
Roxannie:No,she is not.Do you think that am a fool
?I did something nice before the wedding
you know.(Flashbacks)
(County director's office)
Roxannie:(seated on a black chair)Roman,i need
your help.
Roman:How may i help you?(places his hands on
the desk)
Roxannie:I need you to prepare me a fake
marriage certificate.
Roman:(romoves his spects)Are you out of your
mind?How do you expect me to do such a
horrible thing?
Roxannie:(removes a cheque of a hundred
thousand pesos from her purse and places it on
Roman's desk)Won't you help me now?
Roman:You know that i can't do that.I may end up
losing my job.
Roxannie:But we have been friends for so long.
Roman:Am sorry i won't help you.I can't risk my
job.
Roxannie:You have to 'cause you still owe me a
a debt of gratitude.I once did you a favour in my
daughter's skin care company.Your ugly daughter
got treated in the spa for free and that gave her a
reason to smile again.Now,make me smile also.
Hmm?(moves the cheque close to Roman)You
have to do it.You have no option.
Roman:(rubs his hair)Fine.
Roxannie:Well,good boy.
(Flashback is over)
Jeska:OMG!You are something else Roxy.Am
proud of you girl.
Roxannie:Do you think that i would ever allow that
scumbag to be a Ladesma?Over my
dead body.
Jeska:How are you going to convince David if he
finds out.
Roxannie:Jes,you of all people know that i have my
own ways of doing things especially
when i want something so bad.
Jeska:Just make sure you don't land yourself in hot
soup you know.
Roxannie:(chuckles)I am an eagle.Usually eagles
are known to fly towards trouble and soar
to greater heights and at last they end up
to be winners.That's me.
Jeska:Where are we headed to now?
Roxannie:Am going to check on David.(ons the car
and they leave)
