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?
"Gregorio..." Irene looked at her phone, a few inches away from her face. The light from her phone illuminating her face.
Greggy stood frozen, "Anong date ngayon? Hindi naman natin anniversary diba? Hindi rin naman birthday mo. It's not anyone's birthday either... It's not Yana-"
"Ai... Kalma..." Irene held up her hand to her husband to calm him down, "I was just startled sa text na nareceive ko..."
He scrunched his eyebrows together and went to her side, climbing up to the bed. "Anong text?" He asked her, leaning in.
"Here..." She gave her phone to him, waiting for his reaction.

He gave her back her phone and sighed, massaging his temples, "You really don't want to trace that number?" He frowned.
She shook her head, "No... Madami siyang alam... And it seems like he or she's helping us... Greggy, baka may ibang naka-alam nun?" She bit her lower lip.
"That can't be... Paano nila malaman yun?" He leaned back against the headboard and looked at Irene, she shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know... But all I know is that we should release something as soon as possible. For our safety. For Issa's safety..." Her voice was waving from nervousness.
"Okay..." He reached for her hand, stroking it to calm her down, "We'll release something tomorrow, tawagin mo muna sila lahat. I'll call June." He saud as he took his phone from the nightstand to call his secretary.
Irene went outside their room and unto Issa's, she knocked on her door softly, waiting for Issa to let her in.
Slowly, the door got pulled in, revealing Issa in her robe. "Mommy?" She asked, confused on why her mother was there with a worries face.
"Can we talk?" Irene gave her a small smile, Issa then nodded. "Sure, sure... Pasok ka Mommy... I was just washing my face..." She smiled.
Irene took a seat on the couch and waited for her daughter to settle down. "Anong nangyari mommy? Don't tell me maghihiwalay nanaman kayo ni dada?" She frowned.
Her mother quickly shook her head, "No... No... It's nothing like that naman, love..." She smiled, Issa then let go of her breath of relief. "Buti naman..." She whispered.
"So if it's not that... Then what?" She pointed.
Irene sighed, "Naaalala mo pa ba yung text na natatanggap ko sa unknown number?" She started then Issa nodded.
"They messaged again... Saying that we should let anyone who needs to know about the truth... Mahirap na daw kung sa iba pa yun manggaling... I thought they were threatening us but I think they're helping us now..." Irene continued.
"So..." Issa frowned. "We have to tell who?" She asked. "I mean wala naman pong problema sa'kin... But what if this would affect the company? Dada's and yours?"
