Every family always has a secret, and the Araneta Family isn't an exception. How could they give proper foundation to their family if they're built up on lies? What would happen if someone finds out?
Would that still break an already broken family?
Irene was left alone on her and Greggy's bedroom. She was holding a picture frame as she laid her head back at the headboard of their bed.
"I miss you..." She whispered. "You're always in my mind and in my heart..." A tear rolled down on her cheek.
Her phone lit up and a message made her drop the picture frame she was holding and her feet took her immediately downstairs.
Unknowingly, someone went inside the room to looked for someone but was only greeted by a broken picture frame.
"Asan si Gorio?" Irene's eyes were puffy and if a word was plastered over her face it would be fear.
"Why?" Alfonso furrowed his eyebrows at his mother, "What's happening, Ma?" He worriedly asked.
Irene shook her head and gulped down, "I need your father. Where is he?" She waved her hand dismissively at Alfy as her eyes wandered around to look for Gregorio. "I think nasa entertainment room, sila Tito Tommy at Tito Bonget." Alfy frowned.
Irene only nodded and scurried away to where the entertainment room was. "Gorio?" She shouted. "Gorio!?" She called again as she got closer to the door.
"Greggy!" She called as she saw Gregorio's side profile from the door, Greggy looked at the director where he heard his name and was startled to see Irene.
He then went to her as she bit her lip, gripping on her phone. "Why?" He asked as he went out of the room and closing the door behind him.
She unlocked her phone and let Greggy read the message himself.

Gregorio looked at Irene and looked at their surrounding to make sure no one can hear them.
"We have to make this stop, Gorio..." She frowned. "If this is some kind of a joke, it's not funny."
Gorio was still in shock as they made sure years ago that no one should know except the immediate families of both sides. None of their friends knew.
"Gorio... We can't just stand here and do nothing... She's all we have now... Nawala na siya sa atin noon... But then she came... I can't take it kung pati siya mawawala satin..." Irene cried and buried her face to his chest.
"Shh..." He stroked her back and bit his lips as he didn't really know what to do at this time. His chin rested on her head, his hand stroking her back up and down.
"I can't lose her again, Ai..." She broke down. "We can't lose her again..."
Greggy's eyes opened as she called him what they call each other years ago. When they were still young and in love.
"We won't lose her... We'll try, okay? Tomorrow's her day, no one should try to sabotage it." He pulled Irene closer to him. "Tahan na... Umiiyak ka nanaman..."
