Back to her home, while Paula's already sleeping, Raquel , the girls and Tamayo were gathered in the living room. However, there's so sounds, Raquel's mind was too heavily occupied to say a word, Tatiana was feeling more than guilty to even look at them, Alicia was still trying to hold anger toward Reporter Cano, and Tamayo was looking at each girls waiting for someone to say something because he didn't know yet the whole story.

"So, no one's gonna talk?" Tamayo broke the silent.

"I think it's a bad decision moving back to Madrid...." -Raquel-

"I'm so sorry.... " -Tatiana-

"We need to talk to Reporter Cruz as soon as possible..." -Alicia-

But they're talking at the same time and it made Tamayo even more confused.

Meanwhile, Sergio spent the night with Martin to have some drink. He needed it.

"It's unexpectedly amazed me, Raquel's trying hard to hide her daughter but you just casually hanging out with her, the fact that you like that kid without even knowing whose daughter she is. I think it's your fate, to be attracted to their bloodline" Martin brought up the topic, he was surprised too knowing that the kid who's clingy to Sergio was actually Raquel's daughter.

"You're right! No matter how I try to push her away from my thoughts, there's always something pulled her back. I can't hate her even if I want to, and it's crazy that I like her daughter a lot"

"Ah, I just remember! I talked to Agata earlier, she asked me about the state you and Raquel are in. I don't know what to answer so I said nothing. That girl is actually a keeper, what a waste she has to fall in love with a dumb like you"

"Well, you're also right! That's why I hate myself for not be able to give the love she deserves, for hurting her heart. I'm just a man who cannot move, what else should I say"

"Cheers!! For the problems that are swimming in your head.. "

"Cheers!!"

At first, Sergio just wanted to sip a glass or two of the alcoholic drink because he had a tight day the next day. But, two hours later, Martin found him red-faced drunk.

The next day, surprisingly before Raquel contacting Reporter Cruz, he was the first who initiated a meeting. That's exactly what Raquel wanted. Together with Alicia and Tamayo, she went to Black Tone Entertainment headquarters to meet Reporter Cruz in the meeting room.

Raquel gave him a death glare and he could only looking down, seemed nervous and apologetic like he should.

"I'm so disappointed in you, Mr. Cruz" Raquel sneered, steaming hot just by thinking of what he did to her daughter. "We helped you to be who you are right now, and this is what we got?" she sighed unbelievably. "How much do you know?" she investigated.

"I'm so sorry, Miss Raquel, I really do. I was out of control but I have no option" he stuttered like his life depended on his words.

"Oh really?! So who said that hurting my daughter is your option? Who gave you the permission to do that!!"

"Calm down, Raquel. Don't waste your energy.. So, Mr. Cruz... Where did you get the audacity to force a little kid to answer your question for your work purposes? I'm sure you know we can easily sue you for child abuse, right?"

His knees suddenly weakened even though he's sitting on a stuffed chair. "Please... Please don't do that, I'm really sorry. I'm just following my boss's order or else I will be kicked out" he trembled, panic-stricken as he begged with his almost-crying voice.
