Daniela’s hesitance, however, appears less rooted in her feud with Romina, but more in the panic of a long hidden truth being uncovered.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VpemyhhPCWw?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div><p>Indeed, as the trailer teased, only Robert has the full picture.
