They both come from poor families but Tessa/Teri and Marga always support each other as they face their issues, struggles, challenges, as well as the happy experiences of their youth.
He leaves to work abroad with an international shipping company, saving a substantial amount of money when he returns.
They return to Manila when Jaime feels Tessa/Teri is ready to launch her ready-to-wear brand in the Philippine market.
But instead of renewing old friendship and forgiving past mistakes, they thread down a path of jealousy, revenge, and obsession: this time including Jaime Laurel, the one person most affected by their history.
At the near end of the series, it is revealed that Jaime was responsible for murdering his adopted son Rafa and a master manipulator of the events so far.
Eventually, to pay back what Marga has done to her best friend, she sacrifices herself to rescue Tessa/Teri from getting shot by Jaime until he was neutralized by the authorities.
