The full truth of how Louisa (Mutya Orquia) was brutally murdered by Edward (Joel Molina) is at last unearthed after fourteen years of silence.
With hopeful plans to elope with Liezel (Kolette Madelo) as quickly as possible, Louisa gathered the courage to borrow some funds from Edward, which he happily approved of.
However, when the night came, Liezel abruptly changed her mind and pushed Louisa away, arguing that she and Angelo (Luis Vera Perez) were finally made legal with Pastor Samuel’s blessing.
Frustrated, Louisa tried to get Liezel jealous by kissing a fellow student at Amurao High, which was actually Michelle’s (Kate Yalung) lover at the time. Then, an enraged Michelle grabs a massive rock and bashes Louisa’s head with it, which left her severely bleeding.
Finding no one to help with her condition, she thought about rushing to Edward, whom he perceived as a father figure, just like the rest of her friends. Despite her severe limping, Louisa was able to enter Edward’s home but mistakenly chose to descend to his office.
There, she overheard Edward watching a video of his weeping victims and was eventually caught by him. Louisa made further attempts to flee by pretending to be unaware, along with pleading with Edward to spare her life, but she was attacked shortly thereafter, fearing that she might expose him.
