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)
