"What? I don't get it." Ruru said after Richard explained his plan to get rid of Liz once and for all. Richard scratched the back of his head and sat right in front of his cousin.

"Uunahan namin siya. And while doing so, we will expose her. We'll tell everyone that Liz is nothing but a liar and a fake ass bitch." He told Ruru.

"Okay ... after you exposed her, what's next?"

"Well ... we're hoping Liz would realize that there's nothing she could do to break us apart. And when that happens, she'll leave and never show her face again." Richard answered.

"Why do you still have to tell everyone that you faked it in the beginning? It really doesn't matter now, right? Since you two are really together." Ruru asked him.

"We lied ... and whether it's for a small thing or a big one, it's still not right. Ginawa ko yun for publicity, Maine on the other hand agreed to do it para lung tumigil na yung mga nagtatanong sa kaniya. Nagsingungaling pa rin kami and pwede pa rin niya kaming tirahin dun. Kaya mas mabuti na yung uunahan namin siya para wala na siyang bala." Richard responded. His phone then suddenly started ringing. He looked at the screen and saw that his manager was calling him.

"Who's that?"

"My manager,"

"He's a part of this, isn't he?"

"Yep. He also warned me that I could lose my job for this."

"And you're still gonna do it?"

".... Of course."

"What? Emeghed ... pero wait, hindi naman dapat issue yun di ba? Yung mahalaga eh kayo na talaga ngayon." Gabbi uttered after Maine told her everything that she and Richard were about to do.

"It shouldn't be an issue, pero alam mo naman kung paano yung ganap sa mga chismis ngayon di ba? Baka mamaya sobrang layo na sa katotohanan yung maisip ng mga tao. Lalo na kung yung hinayupak na Liz na yun yung magsabi sa lahat. Tsaka nag-sinungaling kami eh ... kahit pa maliit na bagay lang, mali pa rin yun." Maine answered. She flopped down next to her cousin and covered her face with her hands.

"Teka, paano ba niya nalaman? Hindi ba sinabi ni Clarisse sa kaniya?"

"Hindi naman alam ni Clarisse eh. Saan kaya niya nakuha yun? Baka mamaya hindi naman sure tapos nagba-bluff lang pala? Ugh, I don't know what to do." Maine uttered, already freaking out.

"Kumalma ka nga. DI ba sinabi mo may plano na kayo ni Richad? Susmaryosep, dumating lang yung butiking yan nagulo na lahat." Gabbi commented.

"Oo nga eh."

"Ano yung nagulo?" the two girls looked on and saw Maine's mom standing by the door.

"Ah wala po," Maine replied, not wanting her mom to be sucked into the mess that she was in.

"Sus, ayan ka na naman." Mrs. Mendoza said. She then walked inside the room and sat next to the two girls. Maine gulped and gave her mother a tight hug.

"Magiging okay din ang lahat, kung ano man yan." Her mom whispered.

"Thank you po." Maine replied. The three of them then heard the sound of frantic footsteps coming up the stairs. Maine pulled away from her mother and sat up properly. A few seconds later, a panting Richard came into their view.

"It's all set. Let's go?" he asked her.

"Let's go."
