Lena had always enjoyed flirting with rich handsome guys and she wouldn't hesitate to do the same with the men who patronised her cosmetic counter with their girlfriends. In fact, she would spend more time attending to the guys rather than the gals who were the genuine customers. She was more interested in getting to know the guys than to earn her commissions and that pissed some of her lady customers off. Though she did manage to get acquainted with some of the guys, the relationship didn't last.

One evening, while getting ready to call it a day, a group of 4 gals approached her counter. One of the gals pointed her out to the others as the one who had snatched her stead from her. Then without waiting for Lena to say anything, they grasped whatever they could on the counter and hurled them at Lena. Lena managed to duck the 'flying' items but in her attempt to do so she slipped and smashed her face into the glass showcase.

Lena wasn't seriously injured but looking at herself in the mirror, she would rather die than to be alive. Her pretty face had been disfigured with scars left behind by the deep cuts. For somebody who had always lived in vanity, a disfigured face was indeed a very harsh and cruel blow. Lena was so depressed that she stopped work and spent most of her time hiding in her room. Though, her mother assured her that she would resume her beauty with surgery, Lena understood that she could never afford such an operation. Gradually, she fell into dejection and hopelessness.

Derick who was out on bail, was spending most of his time at home as his mother wouldn't allow him out of her sight, not even to attend school, lest he should get into more trouble. However, it wasn't easy for Derick to remain indoor especially when his didn't have his 'collection' to play with. He then turned his attention to his niece who was already a 3-year-old gal. He would play 'doctor' with her and would strip her naked to examine her body. Though, her mother and grandmother were around when her uncle 'played' with her, both were too preoccupied to be aware of what was going on. The former would be talking to herself in her room while the latter would be busy with the housework.
