Saat akan keluar kastil,Catalin ibunya datang menghampiri Kendra..
"Putriku,kau bersabarlah nak...maafkan kecerobohan ayahmu dan kembalilah kerumah ini setelahnya...Ana akan baik baik saja,dia hanya perlu seseorang yang mengatakan cinta dengan tulus padanya...kabari mom kalau kau sudah sampai.." pelukan hangat Catalin membuat Kendra semakin kuat.
"Thank you mom.. But for now I can't forgive him,but I'll call you when I arrived..Love you mom.." Kendra berjalan menunduk seraya merekatkan mantelnya meninggalkan Catalin yang masih berdiri di ambang pintu,mobil yang ditumpangi Kendra melaju membelah jalan kota Romania menuju Bandara.

"Sir.. Kendra Dragomir William sudah hampir setahun ini tidak kembali ke Romania dan dia menghapus nama tengah keluarganya dari setiap data yang saya terima..dan ternyata benar,hal yang terjadi pada tuan muda Hunter itu adalah ulah Kendra sebagai bentuk balas dendam"
"Astaga kenapa jadi seperti ini..lalu bagaimana dengan perempuan bernama Anastasia Ashford?aku masih sangat merasa bersalah padanya..ia akan mengalami hal yang sangat menyakitkan kedepannya"
"Nona Ashford tinggal bersama Ayahnya disalah satu Apartment sir...dan saya mendapat info kalau nona melamar di Hunter House.Corp sir.."
Ucapan asistennya itu sontak membuat Jaime menegakan punggungnya...
"Dunia memang sangat sempit sekali ... Pantau terus mereka,dan pastikan Hunter tidak mendapat data data penting tentang Ana..aku yakin suatu hari nanti ia akan berusaha mencari tahu tentang Ana.."
"Baik sir,,akan saya laksanakan..saya undur diri dulu sir.."
"Abe tidak bisa menarik mantra itu dari Ana dan Kendra juga tidak bisa menarik kutukan yang ia berikan pada putraku sendiri...biarkan waktu yang menjawab kedepannya..maafkan aku son maafkan aku Ana..." ucap Jaime sendiri.
Flashback off ....
*******
Tanpa diketahui oleh Jaime dan Daniel,ada seorang wanita dibelakang pintu ruangan yang tertutup itu ... Ellen Vloat Rhyes,ia tidak sengaja mendengar perbincangan kedua pria didalam ruangan itu.. Kedua tangannya mengepal dengan tatapan sangat marah,ia mendengar semua pembicaraan itu...

Ellen sebenarnya sengaja mendatangi kantor Hunter agar bisa langsung bertemu Ana..Ken bilang Ana selalu bersama dengan Hunter,namun belum sempat ia membuka pintu itu.. Terdengar suara dua orang pria yang sedang membicarakan sesuatu,kedua mata Ellen terbuka lebar saat yang ia dengar adalah kebenaran tentang sahabatnya sendiri yakni Ana...
Tak lama seorang wanita menghampiri Ellen,ia adalah Jane..
"Permisi Nona.. Maaf anda sedang mencari siapa?kalau anda mencari Mr. Hunter Pearce dia sedang tidak ada diruangannya untuk 2 hari ini.." ucap Jane..Ellen tidak merespon pertanyaan Jane,kemudian ia langsung pergi begitu saja membuat Jane sedikit bingung..
"Kenapa dengan wanita itu?dia bahkan tidak menjawab ucapanku.." ucap Jane lagi.
Jane pun bergegas kembali ke mejanya...Saat Ellen datang,Jane sedang berada di Divisi keuangan mengambil laporan perusahaan,sehingga Ellen langsung menuju ruangan CEO untuk menemui Ana.
Didalam mobil Ellen meraih ponselnya dan menelepon Ken.. Ia sengaja tidak mengabari Ana tentang kedatangannya ke New Jersey hari ini.
"Halo Ken..it's me..we need to talk, meet me at Russel Brother cafe.. "
"Halo El..what's going on?okay see you around sis.."
Ellen menutup panggilannya,ia menatap wallpaper ponselnya foto dirinya dengan Ana,foto yang ambil sekitar 6 bulan lalu setelah Ana sadar dari komanya..ia menitikan air mata seketika.
"I will not let anyone hurt you my bestie..I'll take care of you ..." ucapnya sendiri seraya menyalakan mobilnya dan melaju menuju Russel Brother Cafe..
******
Russel Brother Cafe
New Jersey,America.
Suasana cafe hari tampak normal dengan lalu lalang para pelanggan dan staff cafe.. Dengan ditemani secangkir arabica Coffee dan Croissant breadnya,Ellen memegang kacamatanya dan memandang serius seorang pria yang baru saja turun dari sebuah mobil La Ferrari berwarna abu abu tepat didepannya duduk...
"Hei senang kau kembali El.. Hal apa yang ingin kau bicarakan.." ucap Ken seraya memeluk sepupunya itu.

"Ini tentang Ana dan kejadian 2 tahun yang lalu..aku tidak menemukan Ana dikantornya,seorang wanita dikantor itu bilang Mr.Hunter Pearce tidak ada diruangannya dalam 2 hari ini..."
"Oh ya.. Aku tidak tau soal itu,beberapa hari ini aku tidak sempat bertemu dengan Hunter atau Ana..Lalu apa hubungannya tentang hal yang ingin kau bicarakan padaku El.." tanya Ken sedikit serius seraya menatap sepupunya itu.
Perbincangan keduanya pun dimulai,Ellen menceritakan semua yang ia dengar saat berada di kantor Ana..ada sedikit rasa tidak percaya di mata Ken,namun Ken yakin tidak ada alasan untuk sepupunya itu berbohong padanya..Ellen sedikit meneteskan air matanya lalu ia langsung mengusapnya dengan tissue..
"Bagaimana ini Ken?apa aku harus mengatakannya pada Ana?" tatapan khawatir muncul dimata Ellen.
"Jangan dulu,,bukan waktu yang tepat untuk kau menceritakannya pada Ana..dan ku yakin Hunter pun tidak tahu menahu tentang ini.."
"Pria itu bersalah Ken..sahabatku dulu menderita karenanya...aku tidak akan membiarkan dia mendekati Ana..."
"Tenanglah El...aku mengerti tapi-..." pikiran Ken tiba tiba terngiang hal tentang kutukan pada diri Hunter,ia berjanji pada sahabatnya itu untuk membantunya menemukan cinta sejatinya agar kutukan itu menghilang..lamunan pecah saat Ellen memegang tangan Ken.
"Tapi apa Ken?pria itu penyebabnya.."
"Aku tau,kita liat saja dulu bagaimana akhirnya nanti..Apabila Hunter menyakiti Ana lagi,kita akan beritahu yang sebenarnya pada Ana...karena kau tau,aku adalah sahabatnya pria itu.. Hunter berada dalam posisi terburuknya,tapi aku tidak mau gegabah dengan menceritakan hal ini pada Ana..kita tunggu sebentar lagi.."
"Apa kau yakin?baiklah kalau begitu,aku percaya padamu Ken..."
Keduanya pun menikmati sajian di cafe itu,dan melanjutkan obrolan keduanya..
