THE BETTER HALF Episode 13

We started with Camille clarifying that she did not want to be with Marco nor to break up his family, only to learn the truth about what happened with Marco.

Bianca asked Camille how she met Marco and Camille told her about Marco saving her and her brother from a couple of thugs and they started dating as soon as she was done with school.They then got married after Marco was done with his engineering studies. Bianca asked if there was love between the two of them and Camille looked at Rafael. Rafael told her that he was fine and Camille told Bianca that she and Marco loved each other. Bianca got mad and said that Camille was the reason she had problems with Marco before so she would not allow her to destroy her family especially now that they had a daughter. She took her stuff and got up to leave.
Bianca was extremely nervous after she left the hotel but she was confident that Camille and Rafael bought into the story.
Marco played at the arcade with Julia and Clarita watched on. She later asked Marco about his relationship with Bianca and whether he had feelings for her from the start. Marco was a little confused then answered that he never considered a relationship with Bianca especially since his parents were workers at the household. He was glad that Bianca had fallen for him even with the difference in social standing.
When Bianca joined them, she told Alfredo that she had to convince Marco to move back to America.  Alfredo told her that it had already been six years and she had to stop running. Clarita said that she wanted to stay with her granddaughter longer and even asked Bianca to move into their house along with her family. Marco agreed to it and told Bianca that it was fine because he wanted to stay in the Philippines and they no longer had to leave because he was in good terms with Clarita.
When Rafael and Camille got home, Camille asked Rafael if he thought Bianca was telling the truth. Rafael told Camille that he did not see why Bianca would lie to them but he would investigate the CCTV footage during the time Marco was supposed to leave for Dubai and see if he really did board the plane.
After Marco put Julia to bed that evening, he asked Bianca when was the first time he said he loved her. Bianca said that she was the first to say she loved Marco because he was too shy. She said that he wrote a letter to her telling her he loved her and that they had a long distance relationship because Marco moved away to study. Marco asked where their letters were and Bianca said that her mother had burnt  them.
Camille thought about what Bianca had said and did not believe that Marco would have cheated on her. She told Raphael about it and he got mad. He told Camille that she had to belive that Marco cheated on her but Camille told him that it was not in his nature. She added that it was like someone telling her that Rafael was cheated on her. Rafael told Camille that he would never cheat on her and Camille assured him that her heart now belonged to him since she no longer loved Marco.
The following day, they consulted a lawyer about the status of their marriage and he told them that if Marco filed for a declaration of reappearance, their marriage would not be valid. Camille would have to annul her marriage to Marco and then marry Rafael again to make their marriage legal.
After they left, Rafael told Camille that he was willing to fight for their marriage as long as Camille loved him. He asked her never to deceive him and if she ever felt that she had feelings for Marco and wanted to get back together with him, she should tell Rafael.
Camille told Sheryl about Marco being alive and she became flustered since she did not know what to tell Camille. She said that she was surprised and hence the reason she became speechless.
Marco and Bianca moved to Clarita's house along with Bianca who was very excited to live with their grandparents. Bianca was not taking it well and she told Marco that it was because she did not have good memories in that house. Marco said that they could make new memories or move to a new place later on. Bianca howover had nightmares about Juancho and saw his ghost everywhere.
The following morning, Bianca was supposed to go out with Marco to look for a school but Rafael called her for an immergency meeting. Bianca asked Marco to go ahead and went to see Rafael. They found that the construction site had been closed down because they had no permits but Bianca said that they had submitted all their requirements. Bianca left immediately to go talk to their lawyer.
The school that Marco took Julia too said that they did not have the curriculum for Julia's special needs since she had dyslexia so they recommended another school. It happened to be Camille's school and Marco went there to see her. He greeted Camille good morning and introduced himself cheerfully. He then said she looked familiar and offered her his hand. Camille was hesitant to take it but she finally did and introduced herself. That was where we ended..
