the hand of Lenita. And then, after few days, Mara was punched by Gary
because of seeing her and Christian giving her a
necklace
in Amante's party as Clara reported. This event is caused by Clara's
jealousy. Mara and Susan needed to live far away from Gary, so they live
only temporarily at the Del Valle's, It makes Clara more angry to
Mara, Clara made Mara as her servant.Once, there was a school camping
in Mara and Clara's school, It was Father and daughter camping, Amante

and just holding on a branch of a tree but she didn't help her. After
that, she go away and Amante saw her. And then, when they are about to
go home, Mara saw Clara's raincoat, like the one she saw when she was
about to fall, so she get angry at Clara. In the other side, Lupe didn't
stop gambling so her
cancer
in heart worsened, so she was reccomended to take more rest. In
Clara's place, Gary didn't stop harrassing Clara, telling she is the
real David and not the real Del Valle, so she went taking in a DNA test
with Erris, Christian's friend. The result was, her blood didn't match
to Alvira and Amante but she keep on hiding the truth even Erris force
her to say the truth, And then, She told a lie to Gary that the result

Erris about a DNA so he went to her room to look for it and he saw it
and he told Alvira the truth and Susan also reads Karlo's diary!
Chapter 2
When
Clara became normal again, Alvira let Mara became free because she
jails her own daughter. So this switching of their fortunes was held in
the court. And then, the judge decided to return them in their own
families, At first, it was hard to live especially for Clara, who had
trained to live in a rich life and do not do household chores because
Yaya Vonel do all household chores (sometimes Alvira too). This cause
Clara really angry to her. Mara had a sweet sixteenth birthday but Clara
didn't, so she destroys Mara's party. Because the world for them is
scruffy, Alvira and Amante decided to move in States even Mara don't
like, so before they go, they had a farewell party or despedida to their
friends. This cause Gary and Cristina team up, they plan to block
Alvira and Amante to go away from them because Gary still love Alvira
and Cristina, Amante's ex girlfriend, still love him. So Gary decided to
hire Lenita's personnels to kidnap Mara but his personnels also
kidnapped Clara so she can't report them, they didn't know Clara was
Gary's daughter. And when they beg for ransom and they were fooled
because the money is incomplete, Gary decided to kill Mara by attaching
bomb at her. He let Clara free but she still saves Mara and try to
remove the chains in her hands but Gary came and he pulled and force
Clara to leave her so Mara was left crying and she died. So everybody
was mourning for Mara's death but the truth is, Mara was alive and saved
by Lenita, Gary's left hand, because she didn't want to kill her, she
let Mara free but she slipped while she was walking and she ran fast,
but the bomb exploded and causde Lenita's death, so everybody thought
the body they found was Mara but it was actually Lenita so they buried
Lenita's body thinking it was Mara. Mara was adopted by Nanding and
Barang, she pretended to have amnesia so she can't hide from the
kidnappers. And the truth is, she called Christian before she collasped
in the way so Christian brought her to Nanding and Barang, his dad's
friend. Because his parents are divorced, he was not allowed to go
there, but secretly, he went on a vacation but his mom, Vanessa, knew
about this but she never knew he would had vacation at Nanding and
Barang's. He was called "Utoy" by Nanding and Barang when he was young.
On the other side, Lupe was attacked by her
heart cancer when she knew Gary was included to Mara's death. So Christian keep updating to them so Mara can knew what's happening.
Chapter 3
One
day, Barang heard Christian called the girl they adopted (which is
Mara) called her "Mara" (her real name) so the truth revealed so
Christian and Mara went back to their families again but Mara still
hides and she now hides at Christian's house and Vanessa, Christian's
mom, saw her. Vanessa thought Mara was visiting her, she told Clara
about Mara's appearance to her and Clara told about this to Alvira. She
wonders why Mara visits Vanessa and not to hers which the truth really
is, she hides in Vanessa and her divorced husband's room before which
she don't want anyone to go there. So, when Mara is in danger, Christian
transferred her in an apartment in back of the owner's house which
Mara rents while Christian pays. One day, while Alvira is driving with
Clara and Clara is talking to Alvira, she accidently bumps into the
pineapple vendor, she was brought to the police station and paid all
the pineapples and the vendor's wounds. They saw there Lenita's mother,
which she asked the police to find her because she is lost for 1
month, as Alvira and Clara looked, Clara recognize she is the kidnapper
of her and Mara. So Amante and Alvira tried to hewn (ipinahukay) the
grave and to test the blood of buried body to Lenita's mother. So,
Amante and Alvira waited. The result was it was Lenita's body! So
Alvira, Amante and Susan are happy. On the other side, Christian had
knew about it and reported to Mara that they already know the truth.
But still, she keeping visiting Lupe to check her status. One day,
Clara visited Christian, when Vanessa make snacks for them, she
secretly looks at Christian's
camera
and knew that he is with Mara. So Clara became jealous again. Then,
Amante visited the caught kidnapper and asked him the truth, but he
will say only the truth if he gaves him 10 million pesos but Amante's
money (which is also 10 million) was set to give it to the person who
will say where Mara is and how is she. But, Gary outruns Amante and he
sent a personnel to give him food with poison cause him to die and
pretend to be his wife's friend so he cannot say the truth to Amante.
Next to it, Christina called Amante to tell that she is not the one who
killed the kidnapper so she wants to see him so when Gary knew it, he
outruns again Amante and killed her. So, Amante was accused that he
killed Christina. On the other side, Christian tells Susan that he
needs a help about Mara. She came along with Christian and met her
daughter again. Susan had a plan to go away in a far place and live
with her forever. Without telling Christian, Mara leaves a note,
telling Christian that she's sorry for what she will do. So when
Christian read it, he quickly go to the bus station, knewing if Mara's
fine. Susan was about to leave their house when Gary came, so she
quickly hides her bag and pretend she is taking care of Lupe. When
Gary's drunk and had slept, she quickly run away but before he got
drunk, Gary send 2 personnels to follow Susan because he recognize
there is something wrong with Susan. While on the way, Susan felt
something bad, she thinks someone follows her so she try to lost their
ways by losing her own way and then after that, she runs away from them
but they still followed her. Mara and Susan lost their ways because
they (Gary's personnels) were about to ride the bus they will ride. So,
they hide in a bus which is empty and the driver is not there, Gary's
personnels tried to look there but they were caught by the driver and
was about to go. They try again but they were not allowed to enter
without their tickets. On the way, the conductor gets the ticket but
Mara and Susan don't have tickets, so Susan pleased the conductor to
pay him, she pays big (1 thousand pesos) and she said not to return the
change so she and Mara can ride. In the place where they were about to
live (which is in Lucena), They ride a boat and accidently fall and
drowned, There, Mara met Derrick. Then, Mara and Susan were allowed to
work in an inn in the island. Mara worked as a janitor while Susan cooks
