Dinner with the Castros were surprisingly welcoming. Warm and welcoming. She was questioned once why was Richard Armani not with her. But just after she simply told them that he had an important matter to attend to, the curious relatives stopped throwing questions at her. Relieved, she began eating her dinner and soon, with Geneva, Elizabeth and the rest of the Castro women teasing her, lightly exchanging stories about just anything, Psyche felt herself relaxing in the middle of the people whose lives, she thought, was complicated. No, they weren't. In fact, they were just ordinary people enjoying the feast in front of them. How Ironic. She married the enemy's son and now, she's eating with the entire family. At the end of the day, everyone sent her home with Rafa Armand embracing her tightly. He whispered just before she seated herself inside the private chopper,

" Love my brother as he is. I don't want to see an annulment in the family after two years, Psyche. This shouldn't be about the last will and testament anymore. You are already a family to us. "

Psyche needed to held herself firm, when she thought that she's about to really cry hard again. This was the same man who reminded her that she shouldn't fall in love with his younger brother.

When Jake brought her home at Baras, Rizal, Psyche felt entirely empty again as she stood in the middle of the golden high walls of the palace. Then she thought about her family, her closest friends... and her husband. Her first day being married to Richard Armani was unbelievably... isolated. This was not supposed to be how a new wife should feel on her first night with her husband, correct? When she was younger, she imagined her honeymoon with a man beside her showering her kisses, telling her how much he awaited this moment for them to be on that one single bed, doing his best to make her a woman who will fall in love with him over again... and again... and again. But then, some dreams will hardly come true. Hers won't. Psyche showered and brought the MacBook with her in the kitchen. Her own honeymoon, alone of course, will start with her eating her wedding cake and black coffee to top it. It was already eleven in the evening and she doubted if her friends were still on line. But just the same, she felt herself smiling when she started opening the gadget. True to her words, Joei was right when she said that her MacBook had new icons which means, she'll get to hack on a wider range this time. She was eating the mango cheese, wedding cake, when she sighted Laura approaching. Psyche instantly smiled and invited the woman to join her. Laura had a look on her face that told her that she was apologetic and Psyche wondered why. The woman seated herself beside her.
