Truth Revealed

DAY 40

At the so called dinner, Angela made to sign but stopped and asked to be given a day to read and analyse the documents before signing. What a great disappointment it was to the lovers. Though outwardly they agreed with a smile, inwardly they were boiling with anger for her refusal and lack of trust of them.
Salvador sneaked into the basement to remove all the jewelleries and money. Valeria that was spying on him followed but just at the door into the basement, the guard stopped her and escorted her back into the house. In the secret room, Salvador packed all the valuables including cash and was about to leave when he heard Isabel and Andre in the studio lamenting their inability to take over all due to Angela's refusal to sign the forged documents. He went closer and opened the connecting door to see them better and hear clearer. Andre said they would take over the company despite Angela's opposition. He tried calming Isabel by kissing and when she was still worried if Angela suspected anything, he warned her not to tremble now because she did not tremble when the old man was killed. Andre said if they outsmarted the old man who was smarter, wiser and intelligent how much more a liitle girl like Angela. Andre went further to say he hated the old man but they fooled him with their plans. Poor Pedro! He heard all and was sad and tearful. He cried himself to the bar where he ordered a full bottle of whisky to drown his sorrows. The lady who had approached them before came to keep him company and he allowed her pouring out his disappointment and frustration.
Back in the house, Rebecca came looking for Andre and Isabel and met them on top of the piano in the mood for lovemaking and she wondered if they cannot wait for the quests to leave before satisfying their lust. Isabel asked for Salvador and she was told he had left. She was so angry because she had instructed him to work extra hours in order to drop the quests at their hotels.
Gayetana waited for him till 3am when Lupe woke her from the seat and not finding him at home decided to go to the bar to check. Salvador had followed the lady into the room for a nice time. He needed affection and assurance of his virility but the anger in him turned him to an abuser. The lady's face instantly transformed to that of Isabel so Salvador in anger started strangling her. She screamed and her the bouncers broke into the room, rescued the lady and threw him out. Gayetana that came to check, saw them manhandling him so she rescued him. At home, he finally agreed that Isabel married him for fame and fortune and not love. He further told Gayetana that they killed him to get his fortune but he would reclaimed everything and not leave anything to the traitors and murderers. He promised that they would pay for what they did to him.

The Plan to takeover

DAY 39

Isabel dreamt she was with Andre when Salvador brought out a gun and shot Andre. She woke up and wondered what the dream meant.
Simon pitied himself for walking blindly into the mess but it was not blindly. He Knew she wanted to tie him down when she lied about the children during their first date. For Abigail there was no going back. He must stand by Consuelo throughout the period.
Rebecca falling deeply in love with Salvador that she started chasing him everywhere. Walter that was spying on her called her shameless and warned that she would suffer when he was sacked eventually. Rebecca confessed that she was deeply in love with him and wanted to be his wife.
Valeria was keen on seeing her knight in shining armour that she had to start asking questions about him from Isabel. Isabel was surprised that she was interested in him. Walter came in to report Salvador late for work. Isabel delegated the power to reprimand him to Walter and Abigail. When Salvador showed up, Walter reprimanded him as delegated but he reminded him that once he did not come to work for two days and Pedro forgave him. He went into the kitchen seeking drinking water to quell the shock from the truth spoken by the 'stranger'. Vicky gave him a glass of water and told him the water was cleaned and not poisoned. Not able to stand the accusation or insinuation, he smashed the glass against the wall and walked away.
Salvador was given a letter to take to someone who would draw an agreement to be signed by Angela forfeiting all her inheritance to Isabel. Salvador opened it while driving and had to perk to read the content. Realising what was contained therein, he quickly went and made copies. He came back and advised Angela not to sign any so called important documents until she had consulted with a lawyer he recommended. She gladly accepted the lawyer's card he gave her and went out to see Antonio by the pool. Isabel came out to use the pool so Antonio left. She invited Angela to the dinner organised for the diplomats and business associates that evening in the mansion. Angela protested initially but when told it was for the good of the company, she agreed to be there.
Salvador took the documents to Isabel at the pool and after admiring her voiced out his admiration. Isabel as usual pretended not to notice his admiration of her. He gave her the documents and asked her to be fair in her dealings with Angela and the Dominquez. She got angry and warned him to confine himself to his duties in the house. He did and took Abigail to the superstores for shoppping for all that would be used for the dinner party. Abigail apologised for being rude to him for advising her on her children but he just waved it off.
Simon went to see Consuelo and informed her that he would care and support her and the baby but cannot come to live with her because he did not love her. She pretended to be crying but he walked away.
Angela and Antonio discussing about their love for each other and she proposed to him so that they can both leave for Europe as a couple but Antonio rejected such offer. He would rather stay back to finish his studies as Don Pedro Donoso expected from him. He later confided in Simon and he advised him to grab the opportunity and not be like their father who was a failure.
Rebecca went into the changing room to carress Salvador's clothes and Walter who had been like her shadow showed up and cautioned her to put a rein on her emotions and not go nut over a man she did not know.
The party guests started arriving and Isabel had to practically forced Angela to dress up and attend because the phony party was organised to fool her into signing the father's assets away. While at the party, Andre arrived with the documents and with Isabel requested an urgent signature of Angela on the documents. Angela now remembered the warning of Salvador and looked at the documents again.

salvador frustrated

DAY 38

Isabel sent for Abigail and warned her to control her boys and reduce the rate of scandal in the mansion. She told her to ensue absolute discretion about their love life and such display from women coming to cause trouble in the mansion would not be tolerated. Abigail was grieved and Vicky consoled her and promised doing her chores so that she can rest. Antonio came too to comfort her but she rebuked him for hiding all the crisis with Consuelo. She felt disillusioned and actually lost confidence in both of them.
Salvador and Angela came back from the hospital and when she refused his help, he reminded her of the incident when she was younger where she had another accident on coming back from removing a cast. Walter came to help her and she asked whether Walter told Salvador about her fractured leg when she was young and he said no.
Salvador went to the studio and met Abigail on the hallway. He tried reaching out to her to comfort and advice but she spurned the gesture and asked him never to interfere in their private life and it was only Pedro that she allowed not a stranger. He went into the studio but Antonio warned him to stay away. He was really angry so he left but on his way out he met Valeria who thanked him for saving her life. Rebecca showed up seeking affection but he excused himself and left. In the living room he saw Isabel and Andre kissing again. he was really upset, angry and frustrated with everything. He left for home and was picked by Gayetana. He told her all that happened, that Isabel was so indifferent, Angela rude, Walter hateful, Rebecca manipulative and Abigail and her boys not accepting him. The only person that was nice and sincere was Valeria and Azur that recognised him. He now decided to leave his past and loved ones and move on though it hurts. To make him happy and encourage him, Gayetana took him to a bar. A lady walked to them offering her services, he rejected and said she was shameless and daring. To him no other woman except Isabel and Gayetana responded that he does not exists for her.
Abigail scolded Simon and informed him that she had agreed with Consuelo that he would stand by her throughout the pregnancy and take up the responsibility after birth. Simon wanted to know what would happened if he refused and he was told that he would leave the Donoso's mansion. Poor Abigail, she does not know that Consuelo was only looking for a meal ticket.

He saw them

DAY 37

Gayetana dressed up at home and went to pick Salvador after work to a bar. At the bar, Salvador said he was not feeling the vibe but Gayetana said as a woman she needed to go out for a drink and dance once a while. She muted the idea of him owning a bar that would be run by her. Salvador said he would leave but she reminded him of the situation he's in and that he needed her.
The next day when Valeria was feeling better, Isabel accused her of suicide but she said involuntarily because she took a sip from the glass of water Abigail brought her. Isabel vowed to investigate it but Valeria exonerated Abigail that she was not responsible for the poisoning. Meanwhile Salvador came late and for the first time Antonio smiled and thanked him for saving Azur. Walter came forward to reprimand him for coming late and later he took Rebecca to the hospital. While going towards Valeria's room, they met Isabel and Andre kissing after he had accused her of preferring the Chauffer to himself. Salvador saw them and was really sad. Rebecca saw it but had no explanation for the couple's behaviour. When Andre walked passed, Salvador just stared at him and later Isabel. Isabel felt his eyes on him and was really uncomfortable so they left.
Consuelo came to the factory to harrass Simon. He sought the permission of the HR man and was allowed to go talk to her. Andre came then to find out the type of person Salvador was when he worked with them. Consuelo on her part came to threaten Simon with revealing all to everyone if he goes ahead to deny the pregnancy. She demanded to see him in her house that evening.
Salvador was at the table with Abigail and she told him about Pedro (himself) who was a good man, a saint who protected them all. Salvador comforted her and said Pedro was closer than she thought.
Back in the house with Gayetana, Salvador started complaining about everybody in Donoso's household so she advised him to go back and collect all the jewelleries and money and start a new life as Salvador Cirenza. He refused claiming she was only interested in the money.
Antonio and Simon were in the pool swimming and discussing Consuelo and her purported pregnancy. Antonio advised him to be careful of such woman who had had children from previous marriages. Walter came and challenged them but they held him and threw him into the pool. When he struggled out of the pool, he pursued them but they ran into the house. He went to report to Abigail but she refused doing anything and left. While Walter was out there, Consuelo came to the house as threatened since Simon failed to show up and when it became obvious that the issue was scandalous, he allowed her in. He then rushed to inform Isabel and sought her intervention.
Consuelo met Simon at the hallway and started yelling so Abigail came and she told her she was pregnant for Simon. She even produced a fake medical report so Abigail took her inside the room for further questioning and settlement. Simon came out and Salvador wanted to help but he yelled at him to stay away from their affairs and saving Azur does not give him the right to interfer. He then walked away. Salvador took Angela to the hospital to remove her cast. On the way she asked what the shouting was about and he told her Simon had gotten a woman pregnant.

Azur saved

DAY 36

Valeria drank of the water and complained of the funny taste. Abigail wanted to drink but Valeria forbidded her so she took the water and poured away. Abigail asked Antonio what was wrong with Simon as he's refused to talk to anyone. Antonio lied that he did not know and wanted to know if she told Salvador about Pedro allowing him to use the library and she said no.
Salvador asked of Azur and was told the dog ran into the forest and was advised to stay away as it was very ferocious and would definitely attack him.
Walter came to look for the pitcher of water that was taken mistakenly to Valeria. Not finding it on the table, he searched and asked one of the maids but she did not see it either.
On the field, While Isabel went to ride the horse, Rebecca that accompanied them seized the opportunity to seduce Salvador. She insulted even the memory of Pedro, she called him old and feeble. Salvador looked away and exclaimed that Isabel was a beauty to behold. Rebecca admitted the obvious and said she took after her, meaning she's beautiful and that she had always dreamt of dating a dashing young man like him but he quickly distracted her and rushed to help Isabel off the horse.
Simon went to see Consuelo to affirm that he was not the father of the baby she was carrying in her womb if it's true. Unfortunately, he had walked with hie eyes wide opened into her trap and she would not let go easily. When he stomped out, she realised that he was not foolish as she thought but she would not go for the pregnancy test as he proposed.
Valeria became sick from that poisoned water. She cried out for help but the house was deserted so she dragged herself outside and luckily Salvador saw her and carried her into the car but Walter ordered him to take her into the house but he insisted on taking her to the hospital. Isabel followed them to the hospital. Angela immediately called for a meeting as one of the maids confirmed that Walter kept the poisoned water in the hallway because he came looking for it. Walter denied it and was backed by Rebecca to avoid him being discovered so that she would not be roped into the crisis too as there are patners in crime.
Andre came for dinner and was told Isabel took Valeria to the hospital with Salvador. He became jealous and wanted to know which hospital but at that moment Walter rushed in that Azur has been captured. Andre the self appointed head of the Donoso's Mansion ordered for extermination. Vicky heard and went to inform Abigail's boys. Luckily, Abigail that was outside rescued the dog and brought it inside. Andre still ordered the guards on behalf of Isabel to kill the dog and Vicky went to call Angela . Salvador and Isabel came back just then to witness the argument from those for the dog and against. Salvador asked that the dog be let loose because he was not sick or violent. While those for the dog were scared, those against were happy that he would be atacked but Azur did not instead he allowed Salvador to rub his tummy. What a relief it was for those for Azur.
When Azur lovers left, Isabel rebuked the anti - Azur group of Andre, Rebecca and Walter for giving so much importance to the dog than the health of Valeria who was rushed to the hospital. They now apologised and asked after her but Walter's comment that there are many dogs poisoned daily drew the attention of Isabel who asked what that meant. Rebecca quickly interrupted and ordered Walter out.

The poison

DAY 35

Salvador while going to change for the day's work met Antonio leaving early because he had to collect some books from a friend to read. He inquired why he did not use the lbrary and was told that Isabel prohibited him from using the library. He advised him to remind Isabel that Pedro allowed him to use the library. Rebecca came to inform him that Isabel needed him but she needed him the most. He tactfully extricated himself from her embrace abd told her he would not forget that she gave him the opportunity to serve in the house. He left to see Isabel and upstairs wanted to enter the study but Vicky stopped him and while talking Salvador concluded her speech by saying that her tongue has a mind of its own and so does her teeth. Vicky was shocked and felt as if she was talking to Pedro.
Isabel came out and they went in together into her bedroom and he examined everything in the room, his former bedroom. When he was given the envelop, Salvador could not resist the urge to touch Isabel. As usual, she was surprised but pretended she did not see that. On his way out, Walter called him a stranger, an intruder and he reminded him that he was one before but Pedro took him in and treated him with courtesy so why was he hostile to him. Walter was dazed a bit that he knew such details so Salvador left for the errands.
Romero, the Head of HR confirmed that no Salvador Cirenza ever worked with Donoso Citrus. Andre rushed to the Donoso's mansion to confront Salvador but he was out so he told Isabel and Angela that their new chauffer was after something and he was dangerous. The ladies were confused especially when he told them he could have forged the recommendation letter and he was too young to have worked in the branch office that had been closed down for 15 years. When Salvador came back, he took him to the Plant to explain himself to the HR man. Walter was happy that Salvador, his rival, may be fired because he did not command confidence from him while Angela told Valeria that he may be fired because he was strange but Valeria said he looked like a good man.
Simon went to see Consuelo and saw her with bruises which she was using to ensnare the inexperienced young man. She lied that the bruises were inflicted by her ex because he saw Simon leaving the house. Simon decided to walk away from the relationship but the schemer and social climber would not hear of it so she told him she was pregnant for him. He said it couldn't be but the calculating lady knew what she wanted from him right from day one. Simon went home and did not respond to Abigail's question so she followed to find out who had been taking from her savings and Simon agreed to but begged not to be forced to say what he spent it for.
In the plant, Salvador explained that he was that young man hired by Pedro years ago but Romero said his name and face did not look familiar. Andre was happy that the potential rival to Isabel's love would be thrown out but Salvador looked into Romiro's eyes and narrated the accident he had at the factory, the rescue and the scar on his left hand which were true. Andre wanted to know why his name did not appear on the register and he told them the former office and every documents were razed by fire so they moved to the present office. The HR man collaborated the story and later apologised to Salvador. Isabel apologised for the embarrassment but Andre refused to admit he erred.
Salvador told Gayetana that Andre distrusted him but agreed to checking up the id of people working with Isabel for security purpose. When Gayetana confessed that Andre does not inspire confidence in her, Salvador admitted that nobody does because she suspects everyone including him.
Rebecca bought a gift for Salvador and went to the changing room to wait for him but he rejectd it. Walter that had seen where Azur was, poisoned water to be taken to the dog and confided in Rebecca but Isabel came and disrupted their little meeting. She was looking for her horseriding gear so walter left the pitcher of water on the table on the hallway and went searching. Abigail took the water to Valeria who wanted a drink of water.

Valeria in love

DAY 34

Rebecca was glad that Isabel agreed to keep him but Walter was displeased and cautioned Salvador not to be too familiar and to respect him as he was superior to him. I wonder in what ways was Walter superior to Salvador, looks, age what?
Simon left Consuelo's place for home and the former husband came for visitation. Apparently he's been spying on her and Simon. Consuelo ordered him out but the guy refused maintaining that he still loves her and when he had money he took care of them including the baby from her first marriage. He failed to realised that Consuelo was a gold-digger and opportunist. When she made to pass, the guy held her and kissed her without any objection from her.
Salvador gave Gayetana rent for her apartment and while conversing, she advised him to get the jewelleries and money and leave but he confessed that he was very much in love with Isabel and cannot abandoned her now. He affirmed that marrying Isabel was the best thing he had ever done and no regret.
Angela and Antonio discussing and Angela informed him that she would be leaving soon. Antonio asked her not to think of that but she offered to take him with her to Europe and he declined. Antonio's refusal to leave had to do with his family. He's quite a responsible and focused young man.
Valeria had been bitten by lovebugs from Salvador that she practically trailed him to everywhere in the house. She was eyeing him through the window and and followed him to the dressing room. She day-dreamed about her first encounter with this handsome and tall man and did not hear Rebecca come in.
Salvador encouraging Antonio to study hard because no man should be a slave to anyone. Antonio remembered Pedro's constant advice using the same words. Salvador asked why he does not like him and he answered that he does not dislike him either but just cautious because he was a stranger. Salvador agreed that strangers are not to be trusted. Rebecca came and interrupted their discussion with the beauty parlour's trip but it was Isabel that Salvador took out later.
Walter had made some changes in the maid's chores but it was not acceptable to Abigail. During arguements, Angela agreed with Abigail that functions should only be reassigned when a maid was not effective and not for ego sake but Walter was not happy with that. He said it was because Abigail was Angela lover's mum that was why she was siding with him. His malicious comment made Angela angry and she warned that years of working with her father would not stop her from firing him for disrespecting her. He apologised and left.
Andre not comfortable with a very refined and handsome gentleman being Isabel's chauffer, decided to probe Salvador. He just detested him and Salvador felt it and was wondering why. He would soon know why. Andre called Romero, the HR manager to find out details about Salvador Cirenza. Isabel complained to Rebecca that Andre was really jealous of Salvador thinking he was hired for his good looks and not for the service he was going to render. Rebecca begged her to marry him to stop the jealousy but she said it would be too soon after Pedro's death. Rebecca got angry that that name should not be mentioned again. She took the framed photograph complaining that there are all over the places but Isabel warned her never to touch or redecorate anything in the house. It was when Isabel was looking at the photograph that she noticed the semblance in the eyes of Pedro to Salvador and the way he stared too.

Isabel employed Salvador

DAY 33

The next day Salvador reported for work with excitement and so much expectation because he would come face to face with his wife, Isabel after some weeks of his demise.
Valeria decided to leave the house when Isabel came back from New York. Despite the pleading from Rebecca and the offer of financial assistance from Isabel, she insisted on leaving the house. No one could talk her into staying but outside, she came face to face with Salvador and became mesmerised, transfixed and weak that she almost fell so she was was rushed back into the house. Isabel too saw Salvador for the first time and was taken in by his looks but she had to pretend that she was not affected. She immediately asked for an interview and all his documents for identification. During the interview, Salvador told her what she needed to know and pleaded for some times to get his ID. Just when she was making up her mind at the last minute, Salvador presented a letter purportedly written by Pedro Donoso recommending him to whosoever will require his services. Isabel asked him to step outside while she confirmed the letter. Left alone in the studio, she checked documents with Pedro's handwriting and found them to be exactly as the one in the letter of recommendation presented by Salvador. She called Angela and she identified and confimed them to be Pedro's so together they interviewed him and he told them he met Pedro at one of the branches of the company. Having satisfied themselves of the genuinness of the recommendation letter, Salvador was offered the job of a chauffer permanently though Isabel acknowledged that he was too elegant for the job.
Back in the factory, Andre threatened Simon with sack again but he called his bluff. Andre warned him and reminded him that he was the the General Manager and Simon sarcastically hailed his 'ogaship'.
Isabel had a meeting with all personnel in the house. She acknowledged her error by making Rebecca the housekeeper without experience and commitment. She went further and reversed herself and reinstated Abigail as the housekeeper with the assistance of Walter who will continue as the butler while Salvador would be the new chauffer. Walter protested the new arrangement but Angela reminded him that he was contracted as a butler in the first place so that he would be.
After the meeting, Antonio wondered what made people trust Salvador this much after just meeting him and what power he had over people. What he did not know was that he had knowledge of the entire household and that was his the power he had.

Salvador replaced Walter

DAY 32

Simon was with Consuelo and she was making a lot of demands and urging him to stay the night but he insisted he had to go home. She called him momma's boy but he was not ridiculed.
Angela was really polite to Salvador during the interview and he won her over with his charms and gentlemanly attitude. While the interview was going on, Walter chided Rebecca for being quick in dressing the new chauffer in a very expensive uniform but she just told him he was jealous. Abigail told Vicky that Salvador called her name familiarly as if he had been calling it for years.
After prohibiting Gayetana from those spiritual session in the house, Salvador left for work. Antonio blocked his path and claimed he wanted to meet him. He introduced himself and extended his hand for a shake and reluntantly Antonio took his hand but felt a coldness that scared him. When Simon tapped him on the shoulder after that handshake, he jumped out of fear. Simon said it was the penetrating look of Salvador that made him uncomfortable.
Rebecca told Valeria that the new chauffer was tall, handsome, atlhetic and had a special charm. Valeria scolded her for taking such decision without consulting with Angela in the abscene of Isabel but Rebecca advised her to stay away from the others and not allied herself with them against her family. Walter came to announce that his replacement had arrived for duty. Rebecca warned him not to use the word replacement since it's just for the duration of his incapacitation and while still contemplating on where to go, Walter suggested that Salvador take Angela to the hospital to have the cast on her leg changed. Walter then went to inform Angela that Salvador would take her to the hospital before taking Rebecca out. Antonio offered to go with her because he did not trust the new chauffer but Abigail stopped him. He really is in love with Angela but the others are seeing him as an opportunistist trying to get into her heart to share in her father's inheritance.
Salvador took Angela to the hospital and on the way, he tried being nice by asking what happened to her leg. She explained a little and told him to concentrate on his driving. He did just that and she had to scream that he should be careful because he was not driving 'circus animals'.
In anger for being stopped and forbidden from accompanying Angela to the clinic, Antonio stomped out of the room and almost collided with Rebecca on the corridor. She not able to keep up with Antonio, took out her anger on Abigail for raising stubborn, unruly and rebellious children. For once, Abigail cautioned her that her children are her problems alone and not for any other to pass judgement. She told her that she does not deserved respect that was why her boys have not respected her. She warned her to stay clear of her family affairs and concentrate on her responsibilities as the administrator of the house that had suffered since the new chauffer came. Vicky that listened to all applauded her courage and was wandering why she was weeping later. The blouse that Rebecca gave to be mended was destroyed totally by Vicky. After lamenting the destroyed blouse, Rebecca went out saying he cannot stand them all.
Lupe the faithful aide of Gayetana, hired musician to serenade her boss on her birthday. They danced and drank outside for a while then the party was taken into the house.
Isabel and Andre came back from thier so called working holiday in New York and Walter told them everything despite Andre advice for any discussion to be the next day. Isabel was angry but Andre in his sarcastic nature said there was nothing wrong in replacing Walter if he could not perform his duties. Rebecca came back late from her imaginary meeting at the club and met that the lovers were already back. She advised Salvador to take the other entrance to avoid being seen by Isabel until she had spoken to her. Salvador/Pedro was really excited that Isabel, his love, was back and soon he would see her. Outside, Isabel saw Andre off to the car and they met Rebecca who quickly apologised for staying late at the club because of boredom at home.

Salvador the new chauffer

DAY 31

Salvador stared straight into Walter's eyes and asked to speak to Abigail the housekeeper but was told the owners' Aunt was the new housekeeper.
Angela visited Valeria in her confinement and encouraged her to be a pianist by practising on the piano in the study. Valeria said it would be desecration by playing Pedro's piano. Rebecca, the new drama queen, came in and questioned Angela's presence but she quickly reminded her that she was the owner and should not be bossed around. Rebecca left and went in search of Walter and saw him speaking to Salvador. Rebecca after finding out what the 'stranger' wanted from Walter approached him and ordered him out of the compound but he caught her attention by calling her full name and requesting to see Isabel Aroyo. He told them that he worked with Isabel in the factory and she told him that anytime he needed help, he can come to her. One would think he lied that he worked with her but he was not lying. He did as Pedro. Rebecca was attracted to him during this short encounter and employed him immediately as a temporary chauffer until Walter's hand healed. Walter was jealous and asked for proof but Rebecca cared less as she was interested in him as a potential lover.
Back in Gayetana's house, Salvador said the people he encountered were different from the people he knew them to be. Walter was rude and suspicious and Rebecca materialistic and social climber. Gayetana told him he was in for more surprises.
Isabel called home and Walter answered because Rebecca was in Isabel's room touching up her makeup in preparation to receive Salvador.
Antonio went to feed Azur in the forest just like Simon does so that the dog would not die from starvation.
Salvador reported for duty and Simon almost hit him with his bike while going to work. Antonio that came out from the forest saw him and was staring. He stared back but was ushered into the house by Walter. Salvador was introduced to all by Rebecca as her chauffer. Antonio rushed to inform Angela and she decided to stop his hiring. In New York, Isabel had a foreboding that something terrible was going on at home. Of course her dead husband was back and the truth will be revealed. Salvador was the gossip in the house for the day.
Angela still insisting nothing must happen to Azur if he showed up but Walter was complaining about the new employee saying his look was penetrating and fearful. Rebecca bought expensive uniform for Salvador and lied about her relationship with Pedro claiming she rejected marriage proposal from Pedro because of Isabel. She took him out for lunch lying about meeting with some girlfriends. When Salvador protested, she said she did not care.
Angela confronted Rebecca and warned her to always confer with her before taking any decision that had to do with the house. She then asked Walter to call Salvador for Questioning. Salvador came into the study, his study and behold his daughter and they both just stared.

Isabel on vacation

Day 30

Before embarking on the trip, Isabel called Antonio to convince him to stop seeing Angela. He offered to pay him so much for him and his family to leave the house so that discipline and order can be restored and maintained. But Antonio told her that his love was not for sale and even if he might go through disappointment, he will still stay with Angela.
Antonio discussed the sack of Simon from the citrus factory with Angela and she promised speaking to Andre for his reinstatement.
Salvador said that he was afraid of occuping another person's body and does not know what would happen or where he would go if anyone tried exorcism like Fr. Giacomo tried in the small town he woke up in. Gayetana calmed him and also advised on his sensitivity as it concerned his love for Isabel saying he should focus on his return to the mansion first.
Rebecca and Vicky clashed again and while arguing, Isabel came and separated them and ordered Rebecca to come and help her pack for her trip. While packing, she told Rebecca her intention of sending Antonio away so that Angela without him would leave out of boredom and loneliness. Andre came to pick Isabel up and Angela queried his decision to dismiss Simon from the factory. He lied that he was lazy but luckily, Simon showed up and defended himself. Angela ordered him to reinstate Simon and that from now he has become her protege. Andre complied and asked Simon to resume monday and he and Isabel left for the working vacation in New York, USA.
Rebecca and Walter decided to turn the house upside out to search for Pedro's safe in Isabel's abscene. Walter poisoned the water in Azur's drinking bowl in preparation to their search. The sensitive dog heard their evil plan and broke off from the chain and ran into the forest. Simon checked on the dog and saw the chain broken so he rushed back to report. Angela ordered the whole household to go into the bush and look for Azur. Walter wanted to exclude himself but she insisted that she was the owner so he must obey. He now left with a gun to kill Azur once and for all. While searching, Walter went quietly through the bush with the torchlight. He sighted Azur and shot but he dodged and attacked him. Simon heard the gunshot and ran toward there.
Gayetana and her group were in their evil session and something went bad. The session did not go as planned and the people attacked her. Salvador that was warned not to come out finally did on hearing the commotion to save Gayetana from the angry mob.The clown of a woman was lamenting the loss of money instead of being grateful for her life.
In a taxi to the hotel in New York,the lovers were quarelling again but quickly made up in order not to ruin their vacation. Isabel was worried about the myriads of problems at home.
The family gathered to review the attack on Walter. Simon said he heard the gun shot but Walter denied it saying it was the guard. Angela said the guard denied it. Walter wanted the dog out but Angela insisted nothing must happen to Azur and he must be found.
Simon went in search of the dog in the forest alone just like the guard who had been instructed to kill at sight did. Azur ran out to meet Simon and ran back when the guard came towards them.
Salvador/Pedro was in his house and came face to face with the first person, Walter.

aborted dismissal

DAY 29

Andre went straight to Abigail's quater but met opposition from all the personnel working in the house. While trying hard to evict them, Angela came back and ordered him to leave because he had no say in the affairs of the house. Abigail was still insisting on leaving to avoid unnecessary humiliation and embarrasment but Angela would not hear of it. She had a discussion with her and convinced her that they (herself and the boys) were the only family she had so Abigail stayed.
Isabel went up and took out all her anger and frustration on Valeria for siding with her 'enemies'. Valeria's indifference and lack of love hurt Isabel so much. To show her anger, she dragged her to her room and there was a huge argument that attracted Rebecca to the room. Isabel appointed Rebecca as the new housekeeper and instructed her to ensue that Valeria was looked in her bedroom as she was used to in the asylum. What a terrible reminder. Rebecca pleaded with Isabel to calm down and they left for her room. Meanwhile, Angela refused listening to Andre and called Vicky to help her to her room and asked that he leave because he makes her sick. Andre came upstairs and met Isabel still very upset about Valeria's attitude to her so he announced that they will be travelling to New York.
Salvador and Gayetane driving away from the cemetary stopped at the restaurant to eat. He confided in Gayetana Charlie that he robbed himself and that he had a lot of jewelleries hidden in his house. Gayetane asked where but he refused to say because he does not trust her yet. He asked for some sort of identification and Gayetana offered her place for him to stay because he still has money and hidden treasures. Pedro/Salvador was really set to regain the love of his loved ones especially Isabel and Andre. Gayetana agreed but advised that the reunion must be planned.
Planning they did by going to the factory to look for any type of job through Andre whom Pedro said he trusted completely. Andre fired Simon and his leaving coincided with the visit of Salvador. The security asked them to leave because they were firing and not hiring and Simon that just left had been fired. They left and Gayetana advised that going back to his house would be the best bet in getting closer to his loved ones and finding out if the trust on them was misplaced or not.
Abigail took food to Valeria and Rebecca tagging her regime of the house administrator as 'military regime' warned her to stay away but Abigail stood up to her and she backed away.
Antonio was with Angela in the sitting room when Isabel excused him for discussion with Angela. The encounter as usual was not pleasant.
Simon left the factory and went to see Consuelo. She encouraged Simon to go back to the factory because he was Don Pedro's protege. For her Simon was her meal ticket and without money a man was useless.
Azur was barking noisily so Isabel orderd the dog untied. Walter said he barked like that when Pedro was nearby and truly he was in a car with Gayetana. Back in Gayetana's place, they planned on how he would get back and be accepted. While sleeping, Pedro called Isabel's name in his sleep and she woke with a start.

Gayetana petrified

DAY 28

At the session to invoke the ghost of Pedro, Salvador mocked that the medium would be him as he was Pedro. Their first meeting was at the party organised for employees at the factory where Gayetana performed. The first book she gave Pedro was on Life after death. After series of questioning with detailed and accurate answers, Gayetana became scared and she wanted to leave but Salvador ordered her to seat down till the very end of his scary encounters since his demise.
While Antonio and Angela were in the attic together, Rebecca the treasure hunter caught the lover and went to report to Isabel. Valeria tried stopping Isabel from creating a scene but she shut her up and went and saw the lovers. Antonio wanted to explain but Angela asked him to leave so that she can have a private talk with Isabel. Antonio descending the stairs met the busibodies of Walter and Rebecca at the foot of the stairs. Abigail that came by asked what he was doing up there and Antonio just left for the bedroom. During their talk, both ladies were batle ready with Angela threatening and Isabel insisting that order must be maintained in the house. Isabel later stomped out of the attic with determination to throw the Dominguez out of her house and Angela daring her followed but missed the steps and came tumbling down. Isabel quickly called Walter and Abigail to get the ambulance.
Gayetana could not controlled herself anymore. She was really petrified and Salvador had to warn her to get a hold on her reaction but he eventually left after dropping his address. Lupe the next morning saw the sheet of paper with the address and Gayetana confirmed that it was Pedro's handwriting. She belived everyhing and later called for a meeting. Salvador/Pedro solicited the help of Gayetana before he lost lost his mind. He vowed to reclaim his family though he has no cent to his name. When Gayetana called him Salvador, he warned her not to but she reminded him that Pedro was dead. She made to leave but later came back and reaffirmed her support to him.
Isabel went to inform Andre about the situation at home and ordered her to fire the Domingues before Angela returns from the hospital. Meanwhile Simon was mocking Antonio that he was caught with his hands on the cookie jar. Abigail saw them and warned them to be prepared for the worse because the situation was really grim.
Isabel called the dominguez and dismissed them. Abigail accepted but the boys refused and Simon tore the pay off cheque. Antonio challenged her that she was using the abscene of Angela to throw them out but they would not leave 'even if hell freezes over'. Rebecca and Walter took over the fight while Isabel left. Valeria begged her to reconsider and order Rebecca to stop the attack on them but when she refused, Valeria announced that she was leaving too. Andre the self-appointed head of the house came to enforce the dismissal of Abigail and the boys despite the plea from Isabel not to.

Salvador robbed himself

day 27

Salvador after getting Gayetana's attention confided in her that he possessed the body of another. She did not believe him and after calling him a liar threw him out of her. Salvador did not leave but hung around turning callers away. Gayetana came and threatened him with police arrest but he told her to accept that destiny wanted them to meet. She accepted and told him Pedro was dead and her consultation fee must be paid. Salvador left and took a cab back to his house. Azur started barking making Isabel so uneasy. Rebecca had to give her sedative to make her sleep.
Abigail complained that Simon was always out all night nowadays. Antonio defended him by telling her that his girlfriend was fired. Simon came back and confided in Antonio that the children are actually Consuelo's and she really needed her job back. Antonio was alarmed and advised him to stay away from her and look for a younger lady his age with less baggage.
Azur barked noisily when Pedro/ Salvador approached but he talked and calmed the dog and the dog obeyed.. He took a ladder and climbed into the attic through the windows. He took the keys from the box and went back to the ladder but the security had removed the ladder so he jumped down while Azur distracted the security. He went into the basement and opened the door to reveal a big room full of valuables. He opened the safe hidden behind a portrait and took enough money and locked it back. From the inner door, he pressed a button for the door into the study to open. The flashback to the day of his demise and the lure of the piano made him stay longer but the voices of Walter and Rebecca jolted him back to reality so he quickly went back through the way he came. Walter woke everyone up to catch the burglar and they went out in groups to search the house and its surrounding. Azur guarded the door while Pedro/Salvador was in there and barked Walter away when he approached. Azur was still at the entrance when he finished so he asked the dog to leave in other not to give him away but he promised to be back for good. Finally when everyone gathered again, they all agreed it was false alarm. False alarm or not, Andre came when informed by Rebecca of the break in. Andre anxious to marry and move in to control the wealth of Pedro lied that he wanted them to marry immediately so that he can install order, instil discipline in the house and protect Isabel. Rebecca supported the marriage wholeheartedly hoping that the name of Pedro would be deleted completely from the house. Is this possible?
Salvador visited the tomb of Don Pedro Jose Donoso and from there went after Gayetana Charlie. At the shop, he brought out wads of money which enticed her to see him that evening.
Abigail and Valeria were discussing in the study and they noticed the footprint on the floor which made them to conclude that there was a break in.

Isabel's party

Day 26

Antonio and Angela finally gave in to passion and the desire for one another and for Antonio, it was a dream come true. Simon said the little angel finally learnt to fly.
Rebecca was so happy that she has transformed from a village peasant to to an elegant city lady. She was delghted that she would be the envy of all in her village if she ever returned there.
Isabel's birthday party
She obviously did not care what people would say if not she wouldn't be partying few weeks after her husband's demise. Vicky told Angela that Isabel's birthday party was going to be hosted that day and she defended that saying she had equal right to the house. Isabel came into the kitchen and formally invited Angela to her party. Initially she declined but for coutesy's sake accepted and promised to be there. The party proper, Isabel dreesed up and inquired from Valeria how she looked and she replied 'as beautiful as ever'. This is almost becoming Valeria's ready response to Isabel's vanity. Andre returned from his trip and joined them and while conversing with Isabel saw Angela and was gawking at her. Isabel followed his eyes and he had to take them off. Eventually, he got Angela's attention and exclaimed that she was glowing and wanted to know what happened. Isabel came to interrupt their discussion so Angela left left. When it was obvious that Isabel was jealous, Andre the 'he-goat' was happy saying her jealousy meant she loves him so much but when they toasted to thier relationship, she toasted to Pedro whose love was irreplaceable. Before he left that night the lovers quarrelled.
Antonio cautioned Simon on his new found love, but he spurned the advice claiming he knows what he was doing. Back in the factory, Consuelo was fired for insubordination. Simon knew it was witchhunting but he cannot prove it because, Consuelo was always aggressive and arrogant towards the supervisor. Simon went to see Andre on this but he ordered him back to work because he was not going to be as tolerant as Pedro was with him or any other employee. Simon then sought for Angela' help through Antonio but he declined saying that he would not abuse or take unnecessary advantage of her friendship.

farewell Cantalicia

When Salvador's neighbour came to threaten him and his family with machete, sticks and other tools, he had to quickly think up something to disarm them. He knew he and his family cannot confront them so he quickly came up with an idea. It was that idea that saved him and his family from being beaten up and finally decided his next move.
He excused the mob and ran into the shack and came up with an old newsprint. Since the peasants cannot read, he told them that that was a title deed on the land given by the government attesting to their ownership of the land. To confirm what he has just said, the leader of the team who is the father of his 'arch enemy' gave him a letter written by the daughter to read. He read and interpreted the content to them. Apparently, somebody else had interpreted the same thing so when Salvador did it, the man concluded that it is not the same Salvador Cirenza that they know. He forced his children and the others that had come to attack them to leave. Cantalicia could not take it anymore. She rushed into the house and went straight to the altar to pray to the Virgin for protection from this strange man.
Salvador not knowing what was wrong with her just came in and started reading the old newspaper. Because the paper was an old one, he laughed to himself that if the people had known how to read, then he and the others would be sorry by now oblivious to the fright that Cantalicia was feeling. Meanwhile, Cantalicia went to confess that the man in her house was not Salvador and she was scared so the Priest asked her to bear with him till he got his senses back.
Later, he realised that Cantalicia was running away from him so he asked and she confirms it that she is scared of him. That prompted him to make a decision to leave the ranch for good.
On leaving the ranch, he went to Lilia for help and the sex- starved Lady was ready to use what she had (money) to get what she wanted but Salvador was not ready to descend low even if he was desperate. He took enough money to take him back to the city and left Lilia's house before she came back to seduce him.
Lilia lied against Salvador and alleged that he was being indecent with her. That was all Sherriff Campo wanted to hear. He went out in search of him that night but missed him. He later sent a search party for Salvador but luckily Salvador made it to the bus terminal. Luck became Salvador's name because the Sherriff's search party saw him inside the bus sleeping from exhaustion and decided not to wake or harrass him.
Salvador was able to dodge and arrive the city at night. Being a gentleman he helped an old woman off the bus. Am sure Don Pedro went to his house that night because the dog barked uncontrollably out of excitement. Isabel could feel his presence.
He went to see Gayetana Charlie but she thought he was a mugger. She threatened to call the Police if he did not back off. When he introduced himself as Don Pedro she laughed and mocked saying if he was then she was Cleopatra. After much arguement and confrontation, she decided to see and consult for him but for a fee. Don Pedro/ Salvador had to go rob himself to have enough money to pay her consultation and check into the hotel.
Simon came back from his love nest in the morning and of course the mother was furious. She dragged him by the ear into the house and scolded him for disrespecting her. He was angry that the mother was treating him unfairly. For once, Abigail missed Don Pedro Donoso fatherly influence and authority on the boys especially Simon. For Anthonio, he's going steady with Angela.

life on the ranch

Day 24

The Priest and Dr. Valencia were worried about Salvador and his split personality. They wondered what he was doing and how he was coping in the ranch considering the sophistication and the educational abilities he's displayed so far during his stay in the hospital.
Abigail was scolding Simon but he vehemently opposed the treatment maintaining he was old enough to have a girlfriend and would not want to be tied to Abigail's apron strings.
While complaining of how she was illtreated by Angela to Isabel, Valeria asked Rebecca what the argument was about and she confessed she went into the attics. Isabel rebuked her for overstepping her boundaries by going to the place that had always been exclusively for Angela. The old hag pretended to be hurt and fighting tears, said she did that because she was lonely and bored so Isabel took them out. While on the outing, Rebecca advised Valeria to emulate Isabel and learned to live but she said she was not emulating anyone and would not change. Not done, at dinner, they all attacked Valeria but she ignored them and only spoke when they wanted to throw out Abigail and the boys.
Angela was eulogising her father virtues to Antonio saying he was hardworking and enterprising. Seeing the way, he looked at her, she asked Antonio if he loves her and he said yes with everything in him. Rebecca came in and saw them so they decided to go and continue their conversation in the attic.
Salvador refused sleeping on the bed in the hut again saying he would be nut to do that after being aware that bedbugs had infested the mattress. He opted to sleep in the shed outside. He went in the morning to survey the field and Cantalicia rebuked his laziness and said that that was responsible for his being sick in the head and she was not going to take it. Eventually, after much scolding he tried fixing the fence to avoid Cantalicia's quarrel and that was when his 'arch enemy' according to his wife appeared on the scene with Machete. Salvador tried taking his way out but the guy refused and Cantalicia came to fuel the situation. The guy attacked but Salvador defended himself and disarmed the attacker. Cantalicia, the amazon and fighter called him lazy for not fighting but he maintained that violence does not solve anything. At home, he was talking Cantalicia out of confrontation when the family of the attacker came for a showdown. Salvador deceived them with an old newspaper claiming that was the Title Deed of the farmland so there was no need for fight. To be sure that Salvador can read, the old man gave him a letter from the daughter in the city to read and he read convincingly. The group dispersed but Cantalicia became frightened and ran to the altar to pray for protection from the being that has possessed him.
