FOR NOW...

Backed up by her husband, Raquel told her own side of the story. Max on the other hand glared at her for her 'betrayal'. Tired of Camilla's crass remarks, Tonio took Raquel back upstairs. Oscar cannot understand why Tonio insisted on trusting Raquel. Upstairs, Tonio and Raquel get into a fight; she's against not taking immediate action towards Max and his lies about her.  She was about to go downstairs and confront him face to face but Tonio harshly stopped her from doing so.

Very hurt, she entered her room and locked herself in. Ashamed, Tonio knocked and knocked but she wouldn't open the door for him, instead she wept.
Downstairs, he informed everyone present that he believed totally Raquel and he knew very well that Max really tried to kill him; he more or less admitted it on the night he'd first confronted him about it. Max boldly confirmed he'd said that, but it had been only to 'bug' him. Oscar restrained Tonio who was about to make a move to hit the bastard. Martha comes in but as no one tells her anything, went upstairs in a huff.

Ramon came to remind Tonio that Chucho was still waiting for him, and he left to attend to him. Martha went to see her sister, asking why everyone was acting so strangely and Raquel told her what happened, tearfully feeling it wasn't a good idea to have slept with Tonio, when he still had suspicions about her. In the study, Tonio handed Chucho a thick wad of cash,(by the way, accepting money for saving a life is VERY TACKY) and is thanked profusely. 

 Tonio returned to the living room, coldly told Max he could continue living in the mansion  BUT must stay away from his wife,   and went upstairs. Victoria gave her son very strong advice which he sulkily listened to before walking out on her.

 Max goes to meet  his accomplice, Luis (one of the drivers) at his quarters. Or... I don't know, it's a huge estate. They talk about how there would be no way for Tonio to easily find the judge. As for the manager of the building where he rented an apartment, she will not recognise any photo of him, since she never saw him physically; Luis had arranged the lease and everything. Tonio maybe as smart as most people say he is, but he was yet to outsmart Max. For now, they will lay low until the dusts settle then come up with another plan. Max is angry and bitter; Raquel was his yet ended up falling in love with Tonio and giving herself to him. However, he was still going to have her no matter what and punish her like she deserves, for betraying him. Luis is promised 25 million pesos once they reach their goal, but Luis wants 50 million instead.

 

Daniel and Chucho, wearing one of Daniel's shirts, leave the house to go to town. 

Tonio is angry and bitter at the unresolved issue; he goes to see Raquel, who is talking with Martha. After she leaves, Tonio asks Raquel if she left his room last night because of Max banging on the door. She tells him what happened, and how Max called her a tramp and a fool. She now  regrets  sleeping with him, because how could he say he  loves her if he doubts her. Tonio said due to what he's being through, it's only logical he still had  some doubts. 

Raquel is more upset. She didn't know how to convince him she wasn't Max' s accomplice.  Did he honestly think she would actually conspire to kill him?

Tonio shook his head slowly then pulled her into his arms. Tearfully, Raquel wrapped her arms around him, hugging him back.
