Irreplaceable Love...

The sudden birthday party thrown by Isabel did not go without its own gravitating drama. She felt so unsecured by the the seeming reunion of Andre and Angela, and she went there to interrupt what she thought, may be another escapade by these duo, which may leave her out in the cold.

At that point, Angela excused herself and left them, after Angela's departure Korona commented about the gleam of love in Agela's eyes, which he has never seen before (He didn't know that he had lost out to Antonio, in the cupid game, he might end up being a double loser!). Isabel was suddenly jealous, but he quickly reassured her that she was the only love of his life.

As they toasted the wine, Andre said: "... to you, to me and to both of us". Isabel's turn to whip him emotionally came when she replied saying: "... and to someone irreplaceable, Pedro Donoso... Salute". That abruptly ended the romantic night for Andre, he hated competition, and whenever Isabel reminded him that Pedro's void in her heart could not be filled by him, he usually went sour, and sourly.

This might be the reason for her chickening out of the plan to marry him, as soon as Pedro died. She is discovering that her cold-blooded partner may not truley be in love with her afterall, as she had done with him, even unto helping him to murder an old weak man...

Andre had his last emotional slap on Isabel when, after the guests have gone, Aunty Rebeca urged Andre to frequent the mansion. He assured her that he would soon come to live with them, not as a guest, but as the man of the house, "... although, (he quipped), am not good enough to replace Don Pedro". Isabel protested that she never meant to spite him with her 'irreplaceable' tongue. He bade them goodnight and left.

I await with ectasy when Irreplaceable Pedro arrive at the masion in the body of resurrected Salvador! Then, the inevitable game of love and death would be played out in full, between three trio.
