    Jill and Lexy Jodi Sta. Maria and Sue Ramirez 2

    Jill confirmed her worst suspicions when she found his secret phone containing photos of him and Lexy. To make matters worse, Jill also discovered that her close friends are aware of David’s affair but choose to keep it a secret from her. 

    Although Jill is devastated over David and her friends’ betrayal, she still managed to contain her anger after witnessing David and Lexy discreetly holding hands at his party. Jill also put her plans of confronting David and kicking him out of the house on hold for the sake of their only child, Gio (Zaijian Jaranilla).

    Jill, however, is preparing her next course of action as she vows to take matters into her own hands.

    As the story continues, the wife and the mistress will meet again soon as Lexy learns straight from Jill that she is pregnant.

    What does Jill have planned to ruin David and Lexy’s relationship? How will Jill react to the news that her husband got Lexy pregnant?
