“Mom” Marlon says approaching the woman.
Even though Marlon was the one to approach, the woman’s eyes were darted at Mackie and Sab.
Sab was teary-eyed. “M-Ma-Mackie” she says shaking.
“Mom” Mackie says in almost a whisper looking at the woman like a ghost from the past.
“Prince” the woman calls out staring at Mackie.
“Sab let’s go” Mackenzie says in a stern voice.
“Mackie si—” Sab says.
“Let’s Go” Mackie says holding her tight. Pulling her to leave.
“Mack” Jhai calls out following them.
“Anong sabi ni Mackie?” Shan says shocked.
“She called her Mom” Addison says.
“Let’s go, please excuse us” Gab says following them out.
“Wait wait,” Mandy says stopping in front of Dior.
“You don’t think…” Shan says realizing why Mandy stopped.
“If I find out you had even the slightest knowledge of this, hindi ka lang sa company matatanggal” Addison says furious.
“Girls let’s go” Clover says holding the door for them.
As the group exits out.
“Did Mackenzie just call you Mom?” Marlon says brows furrowed.
The woman sits down in shock.
Outside the restaurant.
“Twiny wait” Sab says being dragged by Mackie.
Mackie doesn’t stop walking. “Twiny ano ba” Sab says getting hurt.
Mackie was just looking ahead and continues on walking. “Mackenzie!” Sab says pulling her before getting hit by a motor.
Mackie falls to her knees. “Mack—” Sab says, but she hears sobbing as Mackie’s shoulder shakes.
“Twiny” Sab says kneeling as well.
Mackie continues to cry leaning on Sab’s shoulder.
“Sab” Jhai calls out approaching them.
“Take us home please,” Sab says eyes watered.
“We’ll go with you,” Clover says as they all exit the restaurant.
“I wanna be alone” Mackenzie says standing up.
“Mackie—” Jhai was about to say.
“Please” Mackie says tears falling.
“I’ll stay with her” Addison says assuring the group.
“No.” Mackenzie says looking at her, “You shouldn't see me like this, please,” she says as tears fall slowly.
Addison sighs, “Come home to me”.
“I will, I promise,” Mackenzie says.
Gab understands the weight of the situation. “We’re all here, for you both.”
Clover nods, “We’ll take care of Sab, basta take care of yourself” she says to Mackie holding her shoulder.
Mackie just nods.
As the group walks off to their cars, Addison’s gaze lingers on Mackenzie who’s still standing on her spot.
As they drive off, they see Mackie enter the restaurant again.
"You and Me. Outside. Right now." Mackie says with a stern low voice.
"Who are you to talk to--" Marlon was about to call Mackie out when...
"Not you. Her." Mackenzie says looking dead in the eye of Dior.
"O-off c-course" Dior says seemingly frightened.
As soon as they were out the resto. "You're sick" Mackenzie says with a disdaned look on her.
"Mack-- You can't actually believe na I had anything to do with this" Dior says defensively.
"Save your victim innocent act for those who'll believe you" Mackenzie says giving her a disgusted look.
"I've never met his mom till today" Dior says trying to convince her
"She's telling the truth" Amanda says as she exits the building following them.
"Prince," Amanda calls out in a soft voice.
"You do not get to call me that!!" Mackenzie says lashing out. "All these years... All these years we believed you were dead!" her voice breaking.
"Mackenzie let me explain, it's not the way it looks" Amanda says trying to hold her.
"Don't touch me! You have no right to talk to me or hold me as if you know me!" Mackie says backing away.
"It's me Mackenzie. I'm your Mom" Amanda says as tears fall from her eyes.
"Mom? Wow. I don't believe I have one" Mackenzie says in a sarcastic tone. "What has it been like 14 or 15 years??" she says.
"I had no choice I--" Amanda says trying to reason her out.
"Bullsh!t" Mackenzie says laughing at her excuse. "Ano yun for 15 years you didn't have any choice? For 15 years you didn't think about your 2 kids? For 15 years you lived your life. FOR 15 YEARS YOU MADE A CHOICE!" Mackenzie says fuming with rage being emotionally distressed.
"So don't tell me you didn't have a choice kasi meron. Meron." Mackenzie says nodding her head. "Pinili mo not to look back, you made your choice. And now I'm making mine." she says then walks towards her car.
"Mack you are way out of line! She's still your Mom" Dior says meddling.
"Gusto mong kampihan? Ode Mama mo na" Mackenzie says blatantly.
"Prince wait!" Amanda calls out before she could enter the car.
"Before I go. I'm warning you. Don't try to contact me or my sister ever-- ever again." Mackenzie says then drives off.
"Mission failed successfully?" Dior says to herself
"What's going on?" Marlon says coming out of the restaurant. "Are Okay Mom?" he says consoling her.
"Lets go home" Amanda says walking off.
"I'll call you later" Marlon says to Dior before leaving.
