Kristine

Storyline

The feud between the De Silva and Fortalejo families started when Romano Fortalejo refused to marry Alicia De Silva because he was in love with Ana. Romano and Ana's daughters Emerald and Jewel grow up knowing nothing about the feud, but when their father dies leaving a lot of hospital bills, Emerald goes to her grandfather to get the inheritance left to them by their grandmother. Emerald Fortalejo runs into Marco de Silva, as Marco kidnaps her to get revenge on the Fortalejo family and he slowly falls in love with her. Emerald realizes that her kidnapper, Marco, is a really good man who felt guilty about the real reason why Emerald is in Paso De Blas. Jewel becomes worried about her sister and calls her Auntie Margarita, but warned her that Emerald isn't at Villa Kristine--she went to Paso De Blas despite her aunt's warning not to go. Upon arrival, Jewel meets Jaime Reyes but defends him from insults from an old man, not knowing that she's having an argument with her own grandfather, Don Leon. Jewel found out about the man she argued with at the Villa Kristine market. Jewel meets Jaime again and pretends to be his wife which she told the guard to gain entrance to the Hacienda De Silva, knowing her sister is there. Inside the Hacienda, Jewel tries her best to avoid Jaime. She tries to escape and hide in the sugar-cane fields, but the enemy finds her necklace and Alfon uses it as a clue that the Fortalejos were behind the hijacking and the murder. Alfon becomes suspicious about any newcomer in the Hacienda de Silva, especially Jewel. Later that night, Jewel tries to leave the Hacienda de Silva; on the way out she sees her necklace hanging on a tree, but Jaime catches her trying to get it back and she scrambles to think of an alibi. Emerald wants to go back to the market to find her sister but Marco won't allow it for her own safety. Meanwhile, Emerald and Jewel's mother Ana is back from Davao and she must come up with another lie so nobody becomes suspicious of her whereabouts. Roman Fortalejo's home ends up being foreclosed. Jewel tries to fight her feelings for Jaime and wonders what if he found out who she is? Alfon won't stop until he finds out who the necklace belongs to. Margarita sees Ana at Paso De Blas and doesn't want Don Leon to see her.
