Xochil told Alfredo to forget completely and break off from L.F. As the two of them appeared at the wedding reception, holding each other affectionately, Carlos and concluded that these twosome are definitely in love with each other..

Consuelo was at the tail end of her ignoble acts. She called Pedro aside, during the reception and told him that she was sorry for maltreating L.F and regretted her past evil deeds, that was why, she claimed, she sent L.A to give him the Will of Don Fernando to pass to L.F. they both embraced as a sign of forgiveness and reconciliation.

L.F was stunned as she stumbled on them embracing each other. How could her father be embracing an unrepentant enemy of the family that almost threw them out of their own house, unto the streets without a roof over their head? Consuela lied to L.F telling her that Pedro was condoling her on the loss of her husband, Heriberto. L.F did not spare her. She 'washed' Consuelo to the ground with her acidic tongue.

Every effort by L.F to announce her impeding marriage with Carlos, to Alfredo during the reception was frustrated by Alfredo as he avoided her like a plague. He already suspected that was coming, but like every coward, he did not have the heart to receive such 'bad news' in public glare.

Pedro was petrified by the fact that L.F would soon discover that he hid the truth of Don Fernando's paternity from her, and may react by rejecting him henceforth as her 'father'. Pedro told Marissa that he was afraid of telling L.F a late truth now.

Tormented Jenny was no longer enthusiastic about the vacation trip proposed by Guillermo. She was haunted by Carlos Eduardo's definitive declaration that nothing would stop him from marrying L.F now. Guillermo's assistant Navy, warned him to dig into the past of Jenny and not rush into a relationship with her because of her emotional instability. Ordonez came to the rescue by telling Guillermo that Jenny was obsessed with Carlos, but Carlos is in love with L.F and not Jenny.

Guillermo received a business information that automatically canceled his proposed vacation trip Jenny.

Don told Rigo what Consuelo told him about her dead granddaughter. Rigo screamed that it was a lie. She assured Don that she would go and bring his daughter right away. She rushed to the L.F's house to tell her the long-overdue truth that her biological grandfather was Don Fernando Alcantara who was Amelia's father.

The failure of Alfredo to win the love of L.F after so many years weighed heavily on his memories. He began to drink alcohol to quench the desert of his implacable defeat. On getting home, Xochil accuse him of being drunk. He felt ashamed for his untoward state. He however insisted that he would still attend Vanessa's wedding reception. As he was struggling to wear his dress in readiness for the wedding, Xochil came to assist him to be ready. In the process, they got entwined again in kisses... and this time around, ... it happened!

L.F sought and obtained Pedro's permission to follow her heart, concering her matrimonial future. She called Carlos to annouce to him that she would want to marry him now and for ever! carlos was overjoyed by this L.F's decision. L.F told him to give her some few hours so that she could explain her irreversible decision to Alfrdo, then she would be ready any moment for marrige to Carlos.

The old lion, Don Fernando rose up from coma and trauma, induced by Consuelo's lies. He condemned with ferocity all the evil plots of Consuelo to consigned him to a mental home. vanessa's joy doubled to know that Don would participate in her wedding which was less than 24 hours away. Don was discharged and went home, hale and hearty.

The jealous push which Jenny executed on L.F almost turned into a disaster, as L.F did not move her body from the spot where she was violently pushed. Jennifer de la Wicked became afraid when she saw blood seeping out L.F's head. She thought that L.F had died. She quickly ran away from the court scene before anybody could see and point her out as the murderer.

But for the merciful discovery of the unconscious and badly bruised body of L.F by Clarita and her husband, Caesar, L.F could have bled to death. They rushed her to the hospital. Carlos was released on bail and case adjourned.

Carlos was alerted and he came to treat L.F at the hospital. L.F responded to treatment and tender care of Carlos. She woke up and recounted the evil that Jenny did to her. She also declared with a tone of finality that she had nothing to do with Alfredo again.

L.A went to L.F's house to curry her favor by giving to her thw Will of Don, but it was Pedro that he met. Pedro could not stand the site of nor trust this guy, so, he chased L.A out of his house.

L.A went to announce to Consuelo that he had given the Will to Pedro, when he was told that L.F was not at home. Consuelo almost had a heart-attack because of this.

Jenny became restless and had to confess her desperate act that almost killed L.F, to Guillermo. He assured her he would make her forget the memories of Carlos if she would give him the chance.

Alfredo behaved like a typical emotional landlord over L.F. accusing her of treachery and demanding explanation from her on why she was still moving in the company of Carlos, whom he claimed was a man of questionable and dubious character. After heated disputations between the two of them, L.F walked out on him.

Alfredo went to visit Carlos in the prison and mocked him, gloating over him that as a 'thief', Carlos was not a good model for model Pedrito, therefore he (Alfredo), would file for adoption of the boy and raise him as his child, away from the thieving example that Carlos had laid for him. Carlos assured him that he was a defeated and jealous foe and L.F would never marry him, so, on what platform would he adopt Pedrito?

Schemers Fall Apart!
Consuelo, almost suffered a nervous break down after L.A refused to return to her the latest will of Don Fernando which he obtained from her some few weeks ago on the pretext that he wanted to study it. He told her that He is going to hand it over to the owner, which is his own biological daughter, Luisa Fernanda.

Vanessa rushed back to the hospital to tell Rigo of his encounter with Pedro and the latest news of Carlos Eduardo's imprisonment for theft and burglary. Baba Fernando could no longer pretend to remain in coma at this news of his beloved boy being locked up for attempted robbery. He was jolted back into full consciousness, and woke to ask them to explain to him what happened to C.E.

Carlos detention and L.A's propagation of the 'robbery' was a blessing in disguise. It afforded Pedro and Marissa opportunity to reconcile again as Pedro apologized ton her and supported her during this difficult times.

Reuben suspected foul play in the way and manner of L.A setting trap for Caesar and Carlos. Jennifer asked Carol to cover for her, in the midst of a successful advertising campaign so she could attend court hearing and give support to Carlos.

Alfredo was still sulking about being 'gamed' by L.F when he got home, only to see that all news on TV was about Carlos, an heir to a banking empire caught in burglary and attempted robbery. L.A made sure it was widely circulated scandalous news in all media. He also saw L.F in the video clips of the news report. Alfredo went wild with rage.

Vanessa moved close to Don's bedside and said to the sleeping figure of Don: "... Please recover quickly and know the truth and embrace your granddaughter Luisa Fernanda". Vanessa also took decision to visit L.F and reveal all the truth to her. Rigo backed up her desire and plan.

Jennifer and Alfredo suffer from the same sickness of obsession. When Xochil came home and told Alfredo of the new prospect of being showcased in a career limelight by Guillermo, he was hot with jealousy. Like Jenny, he is obsessed with the 'bird' flying in the forest, while not wanting the 'bird' at his hand the freedom of a romantic flight.

Carlos heeded the warning of Lupe, he decided to break into L.A's office alone. Caesar was too loyal to Carlos to allow him to go alone, he went with his pally for the burglary adventure. Clarita suspected that the absence of Caesar from the house may not be unconnected with the planned burglary, so, she went to alert Marissa, who was mending fences with Luisa Fernanda. The three of them rushed to Reuben's office in Marissa's car.

He knew that, being an loyal ally of Carlos must have being acting in concert with Carlos Eduardo, his mortal enemy. So he set a trap waiting for their arrival.

While collecting the documents, the security men and L.A appeared and caught Carlos 'red-handed'. They called the police to arrest them for theft and burglary. They were locked up in police cell for attempted burglary and attempted robbery. By the time L.F and Marissa, in company of pregnant Clarita arrived, it was too late, for they were already caught.
