Right after hearing Hans Mendoza's confession, umalis muna si Allistair at pinuntahan ang asawa. Daniel decided to meet with Hans.
"Daniel..."
Umupo siya sa harap niya. "You're my real dad? Yet you didn't even tell me?" He asked.
Napayuko si Hans dahil sa hiya. "Sorry. Akala ko kasi hindi mo gugustuhin pag nalaman mong isang rapist ang tatay mo."
"Yeah. I'll never forgive you. Pinaubaya mo lang ako sa ibang tao when you could've rescued me if you wanted to. It's just the same as abandoning your own son. Isang tao lang ang tinuturing kong ama at si Danillo Vilches yon."
He sighed. Nasabi niya na lahat ng gusto niya. He felt bad for Hans pero he just doesn't have that love for him.
Hans completely understands that. The only thing he could do now is to atone for his sins.
Umalis na si Daniel at sumakay sa motor niya. Hindi niya alam kung saan siya pupunta. He lives in a small apartment where they used to live.
Now that he's alone and wala na siyang poproblemahin pa, hindi niya na alam ang gagawin sa buhay.

DEATH
Another day has passed and I finally knew everything. Bumisita ako sa hospital kung saan dinala si Michelle. Kasama ko sina Becca at Zandra na nalaman ang lahat mula sa USF. Hindi ko nga alam paano nila naaccess yun eh.
I knocked on the door and went inside. Nakita ko sina Kevin at Alec na nakabantay.
"D..."
Michelle called my name. I smiled. Lumapit ako sa kaniya at hinawakan ang kamay niya. "Ikaw ang pinakamatalino sa buong batch natin noon. Pero minsan talaga bobo ka rin noh? Don't you ever do that again. Never waste your life."
Panenermon ko. Tumawa lang siya at tinignan si Alec. "D... meet my brother, kuya Michael."
I heard what happened. "Sorry you got caught up in our problems." I apologized.
"Please don't. It's Mikaela's fault. Kung hindi niya sana pinairal ang selos niya edi sana naging mabuting ina siya sa amin." Michael looked sad.
"Well, what are you going to do now?" I asked.
Ngumiti lang sila at sinabing binigyan raw sila ni Mr. Wilson ng free tickets to America. He'd lend his rest house to Michael's care.
He'll work there and at the same time, he can support his sister in everything that she needs. "Can we stay friends forever?" She asked.
Tumango ako at niyakap siya. I hope she feels better soon. Once she does, ako mismo ang maghahatid sa kaniya sa airport. I want to be the last person she'll ever see before she goes away.

THIRD PERSON
After days of being alone inside his small apartment, nakarinig siya ng katok mula sa pintuan. Tumayo si Daniel at binuksan ito.
Isang magandang babae ang bumungad sa kaniya. She was in tears and for some reason Daniel felt something in his heart.
"Daniel."
Napatingin siya sa likod ng babae at saka niya napagtantong siya si Amelia Wilson, his biological mother.
