Ruby goes to the bank and withdraws everything she has left. She needs to pay their rent because she is paranoid that they will get kicked out of the house. Everything she has in the account is just about 500 hundred dollars. It doesn't cover the rent for more than a few months, but she goes with it. She will beg them, she will promise them that she will bring the rest at the end of the month or something. She goes to the office and she walks directly to the reception to wait for the manager of the estate. He seems to be the only reasonable person here, surely he will listen to what she has to say. Mister Calvin, that's what they call him. As soon as Mister Calvin walks in, she stands up to greet him. “Oh, it's a Sanchez family member!” He smiles at her and even though there are other people who came before her, he lets her into the office. “Good morning, Mister Calvin,” she greets. “I hope it's okay that I've come so early? I didn't want to miss you.” “Of course, Miss Sanchez,
Jasper laughs because Andrew must be crazy if he thinks that he would crawl and beg his little daughter for anything. “You just be high on something! Do you know how much my shoes are worth? This was a handmade suit and it's worth more than you will ever be.” Jasper says. “Besides, why would I crawl to beg your daughter?” Andrew smiles at Jasper's foolishness and says, “You have to remember that I'm not the one whose girlfriend is missing…” Andrew shuts the door, but Jasper puts his leg and stops him from shutting the door. He can't believe that Andrew is really asking him to kneel and beg his daughter. “What kind of man are you? Do you realize that if you ask me for money, your family will never lack anything again?” Andrew doesn't reply, instead he widens the door and calls over his shoulder. “Uma? Why don't you go up to your room?” “Okay, daddy!” She picks up her doll and runs up the stairs in a few minutes. Andrew gives Jasper a one sided smile. “Now you will have to crawl
Adriana feels like someone has rudely slapped her in the face. “What did you guys say right now?!” She demands to know. The secretary sees that she is in trouble, she swallows a gulp, but answers. “I don't know what happened exactly, ma'am, I wasn't there, but it's rumored that the anonymous partner removed you and put your cousin.” She says. “That's a lie! Ruby doesn't know how to run anything, that was my contract, I fought to have it!” She shouts. “How dare they? I was only gone for three days!” “Uh, ma. Today is exactly a month since your vacation.” The secretary corrects her. Adriana is wide eyed with astonishment. A whole month?! Jasper rushes into her office breathlessly and as soon as he sees her, he picks her off the ground in excitement and hugs the hell out of her. “Oh God, I thought I've lost you.” Jasper covers her face with kisses. “Is it true that I was gone for a month?!” She asks him. “I thought it was three days.” The secretary calmly leaves the room. She k
It works for her because Frederick Cargo immediately stops and looks at her with a hard frown. “What did you say?” He asks her. “Weren't you the one who gave her the job? Why don't you ask why my grandfather has cut her and her family off? Ruby is a thief, just like her parents. Her father stole and when he was caught, he was banished and everything was taken from him–” “I believe that it's Ruby we are talking about here.” Frederick frowns. “Yes. She is a thief, just like a father.” Adriana nods. “Do you know that she and her useless husband bought a Ferrari on credit just to impress the family? As soon as she got the funds for the project, she paid off the car and I heard that she has been stashing some money somewhere.” Frederick's frown grows even more. “Miss Adriana, are you very sure of what you are saying?” He asks her. “Yes, sir. I will go and bring my evidence, if you don't believe me.” Of course there is no evidence. What she plans to do is to forge documents that wil
Ruby wants to stop herself, but she is not strong enough and a tear slips out of her eyes. For Adriana to bring in the police, that means that she has a lot of forged documents to back her up. What is she going to do? So she won't be able to see her daughter for a long time? Her life is going to be ruined by this. Mister Frederick Cargo walks into the place with his security guards. As soon as he enters, everyone else enters too. Adriana rushes to sit very close to Mister Frederick, beside her is Mister William Sanchez and Jasper. They are very sure that they are going to win this, they are sure that it's going to work in their favor. Ruby, Andrew, Thomas, and Doreen are seated farthest away. Once everyone is settled, Frederick Cargo stands up and then the meeting has been kicked into session. “I called this meeting today because Miss Adriana Sanchez brought it to my attention that Miss Ruby Sanchez has diverted some funds for her personal use, which we all know is incriminating
“What?! That's nothing but madness! How is it that it's me that is being investigated when we are here because of Ruby?!” Adriana jumps to defend herself. Mister William Sanchez looks at her with a very angry face. “Is this true, Adriana? Have you had the guts to steal from me?” “No, grandfather! Are you going to believe this bullshit of a man? I didn't steal from you!” Adriana defends herself very fiercely. Mister William Sanchez still has his doubts. He doesn't trust anyone when it comes to matters about his money. “You will not leave this place until we have what Andrew has to say! If it turns out to be true, I am going to deal with you!” He threatens. Adriana makes to speak again towards her defends, but Mister William Sanchez yells at her and asks her to shut up. She has to swallow back her words and sit down. Andrew smiles in the corner of his mouth. He drops the file on the table and looks at her dead in the eyes.“Let's talki about one year ago, Adriana.” He says. “One
Five years after the attack on his family, Andrew goes to visit his parents house. His family's mansion is thirty minutes from the city. His parents chose to build the house in that way because they wanted to keep the family away from the business of the city. That way, the kids were to grow to the ambience and serenity of the natural environment that surrounded their house. As soon as Andrew stops in front of the mansion, the first memory that comes to mind is what happened before his family disappeared. He remembers how his parents barely had the time to pack a few things into the car and made his siblings and him get into the car without any real explanation. He was schooling abroad, just a few years to graduate medicine school and his father called him to come back home. They had just driven for a few hours before disaster struck them….Andrew inhales as he looks at the house that was once his haven, the place he looked forward to coming back to after long and stressful sch
Andrew is not happy that he has to leave everything that he is doing and go back to the army, but he has to do it because the country is in danger. The enemies took advantage of his absence and now he will teach them a very bitter lesson. He is sitting on his bed, getting ready to leave when Uma comes and slides next to him. “When are you going to come back, Dad? Are you going to disappear again?” She asks with tears in her eyes. “Oh, no, princess. I'm not leaving.” He says to her softly. “I will be away for a few days and I promise you, I will be back. I will also call you everyday, okay?” “What are you going to say?” She asks him, wiping her eyes dry. Andrew can't tell his family that he is going there to fight the bad guys, she wasn't going to understand. Because her mother worries a lot, he told her that he was going for a job interview. Of course she was happy and promised to be praying for him to get the job. So, that's what he said to her. “I'm going for a job interview
