| The rift between Eli and Jackie widens as Mateo goes on trial in the court. Though both are seated on Fidel’s side, it still doesn’t change the fact that Mateo is Eli’s father. The situation worsens as Jackie believes Fidel’s side of the story—that Mateo was a former lover of Fidel’s mom and he was out to destroy the Madrigal family ever since he returned in their lives. Eli on the other hand vows to Mateo that he will find his long-lost sibling. After begging Daniel for the truth, he learns that Onay is Mateo’s daughter! Together with JB, Eli meets Onay to plead his case. Onay however refuses to reclaim her parentage. As a last resort, Eli reveals that it was Mateo’s great love for her was the reason behind his fury the night he fought with Fidel. This disclosure paves the way for a reconciliation between Mateo and Onay as she agrees to stand as a witness to Mateo’s goodness despite his faults as a father. | ||

| While Onay is happy now that she’s reunited with her real family, her brother Eli is suffering from Jackie’s continuous indifference. He tries his best to woo his wife back but she demands space for herself and her grieving dad. As such, Eli spends the following days in a drunken stupor. As soon as JB arrives home from the trial, he finds Celine lying unconscious on the floor. He then brings her to the hospital where he learns that Celine’s cancer has relapsed! By this time, Jackie has also discovered that she is pregnant. But she still checks on her ailing cousin who advises her to mend fences with Eli. Meanwhile, Lena returns from her trip in the province with the news that Joaquin is already dead. She drops by Eli’s house to share his grief with Jackie. But since her sister is not there, she ends up commiserating with him. Intoxicated, Lena begins to kiss Eli, thinking that he’s Joaquin. Much to their surprise, Jackie suddenly arrives and catches them in an intimate situation! Eli tries to explain that she had it wrong but Jackie already accuses him and Lena of fooling her all along. The stressful fight causes her to bleed and lose her baby yet again. | ||

| Both Eli and Lena are remorseful for causing Jackie’s miscarriage. But with Fidel adding fuel to the fire, Jackie remains indifferent towards their pleas for forgiveness. After talking to Celine though, Eli tries to get past Fidel to see his wife again but the latter stops him by force. In another instance, Lena also explains to her sister that for one crazy moment, she thought Eli was Joaquin so she kissed him that night. But her admission that she wanted to steal Eli away from her before only proves that she’s really at fault. To her shame, Lena bids Fidel goodbye then leaves the home that she has come to love. In the prison, Mateo expresses his gratitude to Lolo Bogs for taking care of his daughter all these years. At the same time, he announces his intention to make Onay his sole heir as well as the head of his business. Instead of getting excited, Onay begs Mateo to find it in his heart to accept her brother. Because despite the conflicts between them, she believes that Mateo still cares for Eli. Meanwhile, Celine’s health worsens with each passing day. Hence, she asks Onay to promise to be there, perhaps for JB, even if she’s gone. Then one night, she wakes JB up just to take her back to the place where they first fell in love with each other. | ||

| In the trial court, Mateo finally narrates his side of the story. During the cross-examination, he admits that the gun which killed Monique was his yet denies the accusation that he was responsible for her death. But his vague memory of what happened further establishes his guilt. Meanwhile, Lena enters a convent where she comes to terms with her sins, grief and confusion. On the other hand, Eli’s dilemma increases when Jackie packs her clothes and leaves their house for good. He seeks Jackie’s mercy by reminding her of the things that they’ve conquered together, all to no avail. Back in the island, Celine spends what’s left of her life watching the sunset with JB, making him sing their song and recalling the beautiful memories that will be forever etched in her heart. She smiles at the thought, leans on JB’s shoulder, and then slowly closes her eyes. That’s when JB notices Celine's lifeless body before shouting her name in pain. | ||

| Except for Mateo, everyone else participates in scattering Celine’s ashes in the beach which held beautiful memories for her. Even Corazon genuinely grieves for Celine's death and regrets distancing herself to his son's wife before. JB on the other hand pretends to be strong enough to move on as he busies himself with loads of work in Mateo’s company which is being managed by his mom for the time being. Well-aware of his sorrow, Corazon asks JB not to push himself too hard. But the latter merely brushes off her concern and accuses her of feeling relieved now that Celine is gone. Onay, who happens to witness the whole exchange, tells JB that Celine would be disappointed with his attitude. But JB doesn’t care about anything anymore except putting an end to his misery. After several months, the court finally charges Mateo guilty of murder. Onay suggests a motion for appeal but her father insists to pay for all his sins inside the prison.

| Corazon promotes Onay from being her secretary to a marketing head who’ll directly report to JB. The career move should have been wonderful except that JB has become a difficult boss like before.

Truth be told, Jackie's equally crushed with her decision to annul his marriage with Eli. But she hardens her heart as Fidel keeps on reminding her how Eli and his father have destroyed their family. As she files for an annulment, she also goes job-hunting since her father’s savings is already depleting. At the same time, she visits Mateo in the prison to tell him that he deserves his punishment for killing Monique. Mateo on the other hand asks only one thing from her, that is, to give Eli another chance. But Jackie retorts that she’s merely reminded of everything she lost every time she looks at Eli. She didn’t expect her husbands persistence however as he forces her to work things out with him that night. | ||

In the prison, Corazon tells Mateo that she surprisingly finds herself liking his daughter more than her own son who’s growing more distant these days. Mateo understands however that JB is still in mourning. On the other hand, he’s happy to hear that Corazon has learned to accept Onay hence, his plea for her to come to terms with Eli too. And it seems that the "cold-hearted woman" we've known before has truly mellowed down as Corazon finds it in her heart to welcome Eli in his father’s company. She even cites Onay’s advice that perhaps starting afresh is not impossible for former enemies like them. | ||

And when he sees her wearing a dress from his wife, JB tells her never to wear such inappropriate clothes at the office again. Meanwhile, Jackie's financial problems keep on piling up as Fidel squanders their remaining properties on his gambling activities.
