“We’ve been married for years. He took responsibility. For my daughter. And gave both of us a better life. But he did all that to cover up for his crime. And besides rapñg me, he kept lying to me and my daughter, ultimately putting our lives and reputations at risk. We were victims. I was deceived. And violated as well. But I won’t keep silent anymore.”
Mikoy took Marga to her favorite restaurant and treated her since he wasn’t saving up for anything. Meanwhile at Camila, the board rambled on about how Romina’s personal life was affecting the company. Mina apologized. “But I will never apologize for seeking the justice that I deserve.”
Robert was staring at a photo of his family when an older inmate announced that ‘the boss’ was coming. Hector started mocking Robert as soon as he entered the cell. A battle of words ensued.
“This is Robert Mondragon,” Hector announced. “Our new friend. Do you know what his crime is? He räpëd his own employee. He’s a rapist, and we all know what is done to räpïsts, right?”
Daniela revealed to Savannah that she was the mastermind behind the incident at the station earlier. She then went on with her plan of getting Romina kicked out of Camila so she could take over the company once she got her dad out of jail. “And I won’t have anymore problems.”
“I think you’re mistaken,” bratty lapdog said. “You have one more problem.”
Daniela spotted Marga and Mikoy talking nearby. She stormed over and started making a scene, asking why she was with him. Marga admitted that they were dating. Appalled, Danny girl dragged her away. Staring at his family’s photo, Robert flashed back to the memories he had had with them. A guard came to order him to sleep. As soon as the lights went out, Hector gave a signal and his lackeys ganged up on Robert.
At the mansion, Daniela and Marga engaged in another screaming match over her relationship with Mikoy. The argument concluded with a slap. Meanwhile, Hector mocked Robert, spouting some crap about being the king. King of scumbags. Robert fumed. The next morning, Waldo, the older inmate offered to apply cold compress on Robert’s wounds. Robert asked if Hector was everyone’s boss and he said they had just gotten used to calling him that.
“How did that happen?” Robert asked. “He just came in recently.”
“How else? He’s got connections.”
Hector came over to shut Waldo up. He then tried taking Robert’s tray for himself. Refusing to surrender it, Robert put up a fight. Some guards came to restore order, asking what was happening.
“This guy here tried to steal my food,” Hector claimed.
“Sir, I bumped into him,” Robert said. “It was an accident. I’m really sorry.”
“He’s lying,” Hector countered.
“Shut it,” a guard shot. “He already apologized. Just finish your meal.”
Live on camera at her office, Romina released a statement concerning her case against Robert. The reporters asked if she had any evidence to prove her claims and Mina said that she was saving them up for the court.
“Can you confirm that you were supposed to have a reunion of vows?”
“Yes,” Romina replied. “We’ve been married for years. He took responsibility. For my daughter. And gave both of us a better life. But he did all that to cover up for his crime. I am the victim here. And besides raping me, he kept lying to me and my daughter, ultimately putting our lives and reputations at risk. We were victims. I was deceived. And violated as well. But I won’t keep silent anymore.”
Kristoff offered to have Cassie tag along to the city jail since his dad would soon be visiting Robert. Meanwhile, Daniela informed Carlos of their daughter’s relationship with Mikoy. At Maxwell, Marga had a talk with Mikoy, determined not to let anyone come between them. At the city jail, Hector mocked Cassie for coming to visit ‘her räpist’ of a father without her mother’s knowledge. Robert walked in on the scene and soon engaged Hector. Cassie ended up getting hurt in the scuffle.
Finding out from Jepoy that her daughter was with Kristoff, Romina called him up and learnt that they were at the city jail. Meanwhile, Daniela talked an investor into pulling out their shares in the company. Romina arrived at the city jail, asking her daughter why she was there. Cassie said she had just come to talk to her dad so he could help clear her name against those trying to ruin her reputation.
“I can handle everything,” Mina said. “I’m your mother. You shouldn’t be protecting me. I’m the one who’s supposed to protect you.” After scolding Bernard for bringing Cassie to the prison without informing her, Romina banned her from visiting her father in jail for her own safety.
Carlos confronted Mikoy over his relationship with his daughter, telling him to let her be. Mikoy said no one would look after her if he left her. On her return to Camila, Romina was met with a bunch of loyal supporters of Robert who announced that they were leaving the company because she was tarnishing Robert, their savior’s name. Would you look at that. The guts of those two-faced ingrates.
Romina recounted to her brother how Cassie had gotten hurt in an attempt to protect her from her persecutors. She decided to take her overseas so she could have a normal and peaceful life. At the city jail, Robert was dead set on taking down Hector for hurting his daughter. Meanwhile, Romina told her daughter about her decision to leave for London, adding that she had already convinced Maxwell to arrange her transfer to Maxwell London. “You have to understand that I don’t want to lose you too. Leaving the country is what’s best for all of us. Please?”
Robert asked Bernard about his stocks, and he told him that they were still intact, even his joint account with Romina. “I need you to do something,” Robert said. “Go visit all the families of my cellmates. Most especially, the leader.”
“What for?”
The board lamented over the company’s situation, insinuating that Romina either focus on the company or her family. Mina announced that she was willing to step down as CEO. She then revealed her plan of going on a vacation abroad with her family.
“One of these days, I will choose who will take over my position,” Romina said.
Bernard approached a woman who was a wife of one of Robert’s cellmates. Finding out that her husband had a lot of debts, he gave her a cheque. “Would you like to talk about it? I just wanna ask your husband and his fellow inmates a favor.”
Hector joined his lackeys as Robert approached with Waldo. Before he could start ridiculing him again, the guys blindsided him and gave him a sweet sweet beating. Robert stared, indifferent. Meanwhile, Daniela was jubilating over Romina’s decision to step down as CEO. She asked Savannah to convince her husband to buy out all of Romina’s shares.
“Do you think that I don’t know you’re behind this?” Hector asked back at the city jail.
Robert looked unimpressed. “Why? Do you have proof?”
“I can see it in your eyes. I’m more powerful in here than you. Boys, you know what to do.”
The guys didn’t move an inch.
“What? Have you all gone deaf?”
“What now, Hector?” Robert taunted. “Are you surprised? You aren’t the only player in this game. This is between you and me, Hector.”
“You aren’t the only one who has connections outside. Don’t worry, I won’t get back at you for this. I’ll make your family pay instead.”
