#JusticeForLove: End of the World
A beautiful, rich, and popular high school student in Manila, Olivia appears to have a perfect life like Mylene. However, being a socialite, she dislikes anyone from the lower social class, and thinks of them as being opportunistic. After graduating high school, Olivia left the Philippines and moves to San Francisco, California to accomplish her dream.

By 2020, Olivia is now a college student at the prestigious Stanford University. She reunites with Mylene after several years as Mylene arrives in San Francisco. When Mylene started helping a depressed woman named Alicia recover from her depression, Olivia is skeptical of her, and tells her to stay away from Mylene.

Sometime later, Mylene and Olivia discuss about Alicia and Mylene encourages her to accept Alicia, but she refuses. Olivia is upset at Mylene for trusting Alicia than her, despite their history as actual friends. Mylene is dismayed, as Olivia's arrogant behavior reminds her of her own husband, who threatened to abandon their marriage.

After Alicia is rescued from Ethan, Olivia apologizes to Mylene for disliking Alicia after realizing that she commited a selfless act, and tells Mylene that she finally accepts Alicia as a friend. Around the same time, Mylene reveals that Andrea is in imminent danger from her fiancé, and plans to approach Cristina in an attempt to rescue Andrea.

A few days later, Mylene goes to Olivia's house to tell her that the plan to rescue Andrea has failed. Olivia reveals to Mylene that she now has a boyfriend, and is about to go out on their first night together. As Olivia prepares to leave, she witnesses Mylene being knocked out by one of Gregorio's men. While attempting to escape, she is caught after being shot in the chest, and is pushed into a nearby wall, incapacitating her.

In her final moments, Olivia begs for her life, but the assailant shows no sympathy towards his victim and still proceeds to shoot Olivia in the head, killing her. The following morning, Mylene wakes up and is terrified after discovering Olivia already dead. The authorities later arrive, and proceed to arrest Mylene, believing Mylene had killed Olivia. Mylene realizes that she was framed for the murder, and asks both Alicia and Lori to clear her name.

Two months later, the court trial finally takes place in Sacramento. Due to the evidence presented, Mylene is acquitted for the murder of Olivia Imperial.
