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
Andrew is out of the state and Ruby has been doing her best to raise Uma in his absence. Her parents have been helpful in their own way, but she can't wait for Andrew to come back. She misses him, her daughter misses her father too. But she has just tucked Uma into bed now and she has come out of the shower. She is about to attend Frederick Cargo’s wife's ladies party. She has being very nervous because the ladies that are going to be there are very rich and powerful, but who is she? Just a former rich girl whose family got kicked out of the family. Even though she is very nervous, she has her beautiful black jumpsuit that is very elegant. The heels are one of the only good ones she has. She bought them years ago, after saving for six months! She puts very light makeup on her face and she is ready to hit the party. She walks into her Ferrari and drives it out to the road. She keeps getting sweaty, she keeps thinking that this going to end up in a disaster, but she keeos going.
Everyone of them is shocked, but the most shocked is Ruby herself. “What? How?” Ruby stammers. “Andrew sent me a gift? How did he know about it? I didn't know about it until like five minutes ago!” Frederick only smiles as he hands it to her. “Let's not bother about how he got to know. You have a gift now, that's all that matters. Open it, everyone is waiting.” Eve doesn't look pleased at all. How is this lady upstaging her? She came in here with the cheapest of shoes and the saddest story and she wants to take the limelight off her?! Anyway, she draws closer to Frederick and gives him a kiss on the cheek and whispers something into his ear. She likes to see her friend look at them with jealousy, she likes when all the attention is on her. Even though that's what she wants, everyone is looking at Ruby waiting to see what kind of gift she has gotten. “Did you like your watch?” Frederick calmly asks his girlfriend. “Yeah, I did. I thought you were going to get me the one million
Yolanda pretends to be drunk as she stumbles out of the car, wondering what has happened. “Oh, God! Did I hit your car?!” She pretends to be shocked. All the girls look like they have seen a ghost. Ruby immediately breaks into tears because the car is just a few months old and it has been so wrecked that it would be impossible to save it. At the back, Eve has a satisfied smile on her face. This was a plan she had with Yolanda, she wanted to embarrass Ruby so much for upstaging her at her own party. She is smiling with satisfaction, but she pretends to be so worried for Ruby. “Oh my God, what are you going to do now?” She asks pretentiously. “Do you even have the money to fix it?” The staff immediately rushes to the scene to make sure that everyone is okay. Fredrick must have heard the commotion because he comes out of the house to see what has happened. He sees Ruby in tears and sees that her car has been destroyed. He doesn't need a soothsayer to tell him what has happened, h
