After the union between Agnes and Ariston, Noel and Melody became step-siblings but they didn't get along until their years of adulthood. When their parents die, Noel is forced to be Melody's legal guardian despite their lack of closeness. As they grow older, they were married to their respective lovers: Melody marries Ronald and Noel marries Cynthia.
