The Part 1 finale of Ang Mutya ng Section E Book 2: The Dark Side is finally here, and honestly, it leaves you sitting with a lot of feelings. What started as a hugely loved Wattpad story by Lara Flores (Eatmore2behappy) and later became a Viva One favorite has now stepped into a much heavier phase.

This way, Part 1 ends on a heartbreaking note, but fans need not worry. Ang Mutya ng Section E Book 2: The Dark Side Part is confirmed to arrive soon. The story will continue as Book 2 has not ended yet, and there are more secrets to be exposed.
