Both the Rosende family and the Brolly family were aware of Frankie and Nathaniel's relationship, and both families decided to separate them.
Both families grabbed the two teenagers and had them tied up, causing them to be suspended in the air.
By the time they were sure they couldn't run away, the two families brought their friends along with barrels full of acid.
"We are going to ask only once, and it will depend on what you answer, what we will do to your friends," said Bob Brolly, while he finished tying up one of their friends.
"What do you want to ask us?" Nathaniel asked, trying to control his anger but in vain.
"Are you going to stay in this relationship or are you going to end it?" asked Valentine Rosende, who was also finishing tying up one of their friends.
"No, we are not going to end our relationship, and we will never give any of you that pleasure; so leave us alone," Nathaniel said, bursting with anger.
"So they are going to continue the relationship. Well, only you will be the only ones responsible for what happens to your friends" said Maxim Rosende.
To Frankie and Nathaniel's surprise, both families, including Simon Rosende and Bridget Brolly, started throwing acid at their friends.
No matter how hard Frankie and Nathaniel tried to break free of those bonds, they simply couldn't, and had to watch, in horror, as their friends unshaped.
After four hours of cruelty, both families left, leaving them in that place. After much effort, Frankie and Nathaniel managed to free themselves from their bonds.
"We are very sorry about what happened to you," Frankie and Nathaniel said at the same time, as they began to cry.
With a lot of pain, anger, and sadness, Frankie and Nathaniel understood that they had to finish, so as not to continue hurting their loved ones.
"Goodbye love," Frankie and Nathaniel said to each other, as they walked away for good.
Separately, they took their friends to their respective houses and told them what had happened, while at the same time asking for forgiveness for what had happened and feeling ashamed of what had happened.
They all understood that it was not their fault, but that of both families, but they understood that, for now, they could not do anything about it.
After that, Nathaniel returned home and told his family what happened while Frankie had no choice but to return to the Brolly house, which was waiting for her to whip her savagely.
"Forget about love, about studying, and that you have a life, because your life belongs to us," Soren said.
