Atty. Wilgreg and Atty. Ninia made a heart-to-heart talk the next day about the incident inside Atty. Lulu’s hotel suite.
“Babe, I love you more for not easily giving up on me and for not believing Lulu right away.” Atty. Wilgreg looked at her with his eyes casting the shadow of a totally in-love man.
“I actually slapped you,” she snapped at him and gave him a sullen look.
“Really? Was it hard?” Atty. Wilgreg asked while caressing his face.
Atty. Ninia eyed him. “Would you want me to repeat it, Babe? I slapped you because I could not slap her. I really wanted to slap her as I saw her grinding herself on top of you and mind you, she was moaning loud!” she murmured with gritted teeth when she remembered the scene.
Atty. Wilgreg burst out with laughter then murmured back, “Babe, you can do better than that to me. Would you want to test it to know how it would feel like grinding on top of me?” he grinned widely at her.
“Would you want me to fry your egg, instead of grinding on it Babe? Grrrr.” Atty. Ninia shot Atty. Wilgreg with her wide rounded eyes.
Atty. Wilgreg was in full laughter again as he embraced her and kissed her tenderly.
Right at that moment, Atty. Lulu already boarded the plane, going back to Indonesia.
As she sat on her assigned seat, someone called her name. She looked beside her and there she saw a man seating, smiling wide.
“Jairo,” she said on the verge of crying.
“Hey, something wrong?” Jairo asked worriedly.
“None Jairo. I was just happy to see you,” she murmured.
Jairo once again smiled widely. “Me too Lulu. You did not reply to my messages. So, maybe it is fate that brought you to be near me again.”
Atty. Lulu smiled and gently put her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes.
Jairo smiled again as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and let her lean on him comfortably. "Sleep, Lulu. I can see that you needed it. I will just wake you up when we are about to land in Indonesia already," he gently kissed her forehead, and Atty. Lulu nodded.
She then closed her eyes and tears started to fall down her eyes. "How could I act like a fool?" she thought while wiping the tears from her eyes.
Jairo, handed to her his handkerchief and looked at her with a query in his eyes, yet he did not ask.
Atty. Lulu, took the handkerchief offered by Jairo. "Thank you, Jairo."
"When we are in Indonesia already, I hope you will answer my messages and calls, Lulu. Let us make up for the lost time that we had for so long," he said gently, and once again Atty. Lulu nodded. This time a smile crept through her lips.

Lucia waited for Carolina. She learned that today is her book signing. She released a new werewolf-inspired book and she is going to launch it in this popular bookstore. She touched the hard, metal thing inside her bag. She is ready for Carolina. “It is time for my revenge Carolina,” she whispered.
Carolina got out of her BMW car, together with Wilgreg and Atty. Ninia. They walked together going inside the shopping mall, where the bookstore, where she is going to launch her new book is located.
“Mom, this is the second time that you wrote a werewolf story. I know it will be a hit again, just like your first one.” Wilgreg stated while putting his arm around his mother’s shoulders, while his right hand is holding Atty. Ninia’s hand.
“I hope so son. Actually, this second book is a sequel of the first one.” Carolina replied holding his son’s hand on her shoulder.
From afar, Lucia could see Carolina and her companions walking over in her direction. She is standing beside a wall of another store. Once again, she touched the metal and hard thing inside her bag.
When the trio came nearer, Lucia got the gun inside her bag and pointed it in Carolina’s direction. However, a woman who is passing by saw her, and out of fear, she shouted so loud that caught the attention of Wilgreg, Carolina, and Ninia.
Wilgreg’s eyes grew big when he saw Lucia pull the trigger of the gun she is holding. Immediately, he dragged her Mom down and Ninia. Just as the time that they hit the floor, the sound of Lucia’s gun filled the whole floor of the mall.
There was a commotion and Lucia tried to flee. But the guards saw her and caught her.
Lucia was brought to the Police Station. Carolina through the help of Atty. Wilgreg filed a Criminal Case for Frustrated Murder against Lucia.
Automatically, Lucia has been imprisoned since she was caught in flagrante delicto while committing the crime against Carolina Monaro.
Add to that, a complaint for Attempted Murder against Lucia was also already lodged a day before by Atty. Ferrer on behalf of his client, Damian Lincuja. Lucia’s son, Dr. Marlon Raguya was included in the case as an accomplice for aiding her mother through the drugs that he gave her.
Marco Raguya, could not accept everything that is happening to their family, especially to his Mother. She is in the prison cell now but he could not even hire a lawyer to protect him. He has no enough money for that. It was his brother Dr. Marlon, whom he called to hire a lawyer for their mother.
Since it was Saturday, Dr. Marlon Raguya and his Lawyer were not able to process the bail of Lucia Raguya. So, Lucia stayed in the prison cell.
The next day, Lucia was totally acting differently. She was laughing, shouting, and cursing every policeman that will come closer to reprimand her for being so noisy. Her other inmates became so furious at her since they could not sleep well. It has been two days that Lucia Raguya has been pestering them.
Two of the female inmates were not able to control themselves; they both gave Lucia’s stomach hard punches, making her pass out.
The two inmates laughed when they saw Lucia finally become silent.
“We can sleep without any disturbance now.” The bigger female inmate said giving Lucia, one more kick on her stomach.
