“Babe, don’t tease me now. I am not fine, to be honest.” Atty. Ninia said upon hearing Atty. Wilgreg mentioning about marriage over the phone.
“Hey, sorry Babe, I just wanted to lighten up your mood. But I was serious with what I said 'though. I am so willing to marry you. Anyway, I will be calling my friend at the NBI department to check on this matter. Don’t worry okay.” His voice was reassuring. He does not want her to worry, and most of all he does not want her to think of him having a connection to whoever published their photos.
“But our pictures are already scattered everywhere online now. How could it be removed?” Atty. Ninia said with exasperation.
“Would you really want to remove them, Babe? There is nothing to be ashamed of in those pictures. Anyone who will ask me now, I will be answering them frankly that the woman I kissed as seen in those pictures is the first woman who truly captured my heart. Actually, Babe, I am planning to contact the reporter who wrote the news about us. I will give him the liberty to interview me and ask more questions. What do you think Babe?” Wilgreg’s voice was really serious about what he was talking about and Ninia fell into silence again.
“Babe, are you still there?” Wilgreg asked when Atty. Ninia did not reply.
“Yes, Babe. Hmmm, you can have that interview Babe if you like; I guess the more we suppress information about this, the more that we will be put in any intriguing news.” Suddenly, Atty. Ninia replied with a somewhat relaxed tone already.
Wilgreg smiled upon hearing his girlfriend’s reply. “That’s my girl. I love you more. Relax my love okay?”
Atty. Ninia smiled now. “Yes, I will Babe. Thank you and I love you too.”
Atty. Wilgreg was still smiling when Atty. Ninia put down her phone already.
The next thing that Atty. Wilgreg did was to call his friend at the NBI and asked him to determine the identity of the person behind the Facebook Account that posted his and Atty. Ninia’s pictures. He is getting curious actually as to what could be the motive of the culprit who stalked them and took those stolen photos.
Thereafter, he asked his Executive Assistant to call the TV station or the reporter herself who published the news.

Once again, Atty. Wilgreg became the highlight of every social media platform. His interview became the most liked and most shared post on Facebook, YouTube, and others.
In his interview, Atty. Wilgreg admitted his relationship with Atty. Ninia. He even publicly declared his pure and sincere love and intentions to the young lawyer, which made the reporter/interviewer giggled with excitement, showing also clearly her envy towards Atty. Ninia.
The Board of Directors of the Lincuja Real Estate Corporation sent their congratulations to both Atty. Wilgreg and Atty. Ninia. They all agreed that the two young and brilliant lawyers are best matched for each other. No one ever thought that Atty. Ninia got her post as Vice President for Finance because of that love Atty. Wilgreg has for her. All of them believed that Atty. Ninia deserved her promotion and/or appointment because of her qualifications. Aside from that; they have witnessed how dedicated and good Atty. Ninia is when it comes to her work
This interview reached the ears and eyes of Lucia and Marco Raguya and both of them hissed with outrage. Marco thought it would ruin the reputation of Wilgreg Monaro but what happened was otherwise. He was loved more by the people, by the staff, and even by the Board of Directors of all the Lincuja companies.
In his beach resort, Damian Lincuja has been watching his son’s interview while drinking a young coconut juice, in front of the beach area. He proudly smiled as he finished watching the interview. “That’s my boy. You are indeed the son of Damian Lincuja!” he whispered happily.
Carolina on one hand became more excited when she watched the interview with her son. As Wilgreg’s Mom, she is the proudest and happiest of all, and of course, she is already excited about the grand wedding of her son and her future daughter-in-law.
Atty. Ninia was on cloud nine upon listening to every word spoken by Atty. Wilgreg during the interview. Her heart swelled with happiness and pride. Atty. Wilgreg lifted her up to a pedestal that made her a dignified and well-loved woman and that made her love for him grew stronger.
In Indonesia, Atty. Lulu Soriano was in tears upon seeing the interview of Atty. Wilgreg. She could feel her heart being torn apart. She loves Wilgreg since their college of law years and she will not just let somebody, whom he just met recently to snatch him away from her. Wilgreg is hers and for her alone and not for Atty. Ninia. These are the things that ran inside Atty. Lulu’s mind after watching the interview. And thereafter, she made a decision.
