INT. MEETING ROOM, 8:40 PM

Letizia and Raguel entered the meeting room, and was shocked to see only the four of them. Letizia, Raguel, Anji, and Erwin. They thought the two teams would have a meeting, bakit apat lang sila?

ANJI
   Thanks for coming, Letizia, Raguel. Upo muna kayo. Ginulo ba kayo ng mga reporters?

RAGUEL
   Bakit tayo lang? Akala ko may iba pa?

ERWIN
   We'll get into that later.

ERWIN
    First, thank you for coming and for your willingness to cooperate. We will do our best to put an end to this scandal.

ERWIN
   When the two of you started working together, I knew that at some point, your divorce will resurface.

ANJI
    Ako rin. Inasahan ko rin naman. But I didn't predict that it will come from an anonymous hate account. 'Yung thread na 'yon, halatang issue ang habol. I think their purpose is to drag you down.

ERWIN
   Anji and I tried to track them... at nagawa naman namin.

LETIZIA
    Oh, really?! That's good! Who is it? And what's their goal? Makakasuhan ba?

RAGUEL
   Onga, sino 'yon? Kilala ba namin?

ANJI
   [ Sighs ] Yeah... kilalang-kilala.

LETIZIA
   Huh?

ANJI
   The insider was... Hannah, your personal assistant, Zia.

LETIZIA
    Huh? No! No! She's— She's been with me for five years! I've known her! Hindi niya magagawa 'to! I'm not buying this!

RAGUEL
   Love, calm down...

RAGUEL
   Paano kayo nakakasiguro? Tsaka ano namang makukuha niya at bakit niya ginawa 'to?

ERWIN
   That's where it gets personal. Nung nalaman namin, syempre, hindi rin kami naniwala agad. So Anji confronted her.

ANJI
   [ Sighs ] Yeah, I confronted her. Kasi gaya mo, Z, hindi rin ako makapaniwala. She's been a reliable assistant to you at pinagkatiwalaan ko ikaw sa kanya.

ANJI
   So, I asked her. At... do'n namin nalaman na hindi niya ginusto 'yon.

LETIZIA
   Huh? What do you mean?

Erwin and Anji gave each other a knowing look.

ERWIN
    Hannah was paid by Lucio Cordova Sr.

LETIZIA
   W-What?

RAGUEL
   Huh?

ANJI
   Umamin si Hannah. Hindi kinaya ng konsensya niya. It turns out, her mother is sick and they have so many hospital debts. And Lucio took advantage of it. Binayaran niya si Hannah na ipakalat 'yon.

LETIZIA
   Fuck...

ERWIN
   Letizia, Raguel, we can handle Hannah and the owner of that account. Pero si Lucio Cordova? Hindi... your problem with him is personal.

ANJI
   Yeah, Erwin is right. To be honest, wala naman talaga akong alam sa kabuuhan ng nangyari sa inyo. I just know the gist of it, tapos napag-usapan namin ni Erwin. I found out na may past na pala si Lucio ng pagpapahirap sa'yo, Raguel.

RAGUEL
   Y-Yeah...

ERWIN
   Kaya kung gusto niyong maayos 'to, si Lucio muna ang kailangan niyong kalabanin. Kasi tingin namin, kahit maayos 'to, gagawa pa rin ng paraan si Lucio na manggulo.

ANJI
   Yeah. We think his motive is to ruin your image. Ang nakakapagtaka lang, bakit ngayon pa?

LETIZIA
   He kept his distance for the past five years. Noong naghiwalay kami ni Rago at noong umalis kami ni Kuya sa kanya, hindi siya nagsalita. Hindi rin siya nanggulo. Hinayaan niya rin akong i-pursue 'tong showbiz life ko. Kaya— Kaya akala ko— Oh my God! Akala ko okay na!

LETIZIA
   Akala ko okay na! Fuck! H-Hindi pa ba siya kuntento sa ginawa niya samin dati?! Hindi pa siya nakuntento sa daming nadamay?! Gusto pa niya mangguli ulit?! And now he wants to ruin what we love to do?! [ Sobs ]

RAGUEL
   Love... calm down...

Raguel pulled Letizia into a hug. Letizia cried in his chest—she's not crying out of fear or sadness; she's crying out of fury. She's mad. Galit siya sa Lolo niyang wala nang ibang ginawa kundi kontrolin siya.

Letizia was shaking because of anger but calmed down when Raguel stroked her hair and kissed her temple.

RAGUEL
   Calm down, love. We'll be okay... hmm?

RAGUEL
   We will get through this. I promise you.

ERWIN
   Anji and I will release a joint statement confirming your divorce. Pero itatago muna namin ang relasyon niyo.

ANJI
   I'm sorry. Hanggang do'n lang talaga ang kaya namin. Susubukan din naming kontrolin ang mga hates na matatanggap niyo.

RAGUEL
   It's okay. We understand.

ANJI
   Iwan muna namin kayo.

When Anji and Erwin left, Letizia looked at Raguel with a mixture of hopeful and scared eyes.

LETIZIA
   We will not let him ruin us again, right?

Raguel smiled and kissed Letizia's nose.

RAGUEL
   We won't, baby. He did it once. We will not let him do it again. He has to kill me first.
