“Andrew, we cannot go to Barbados! Do you know how much it would cost? I know that I wanted to make you a nice small dinner, that has been ruined now, but we can still try!” Ruby begs. “I don't want you to stress yourself for us.” Andrew laughs under his breath. He knows that the family has been through a lot and if they deserve anything, it's to go on a vacation. He is rich enough to afford it, he is worth billions, even if they don't know it yet. “Come on, Ruby, it's going to be for a few days and with everything that everyone has been through, I think that it's a great step for us.” He says. But even Doreen doesn't get it. There are some times that even a loaf of bread is luxury to them and Andrew is suggesting that they fly to Barbados?! “Andrew, you have said so many crazy things, but this has got to be on the top of the list! Do you know how much it costs to fly to Barbados?” Andrew smiles at his mother-in-law. “Mum, don't worry about it. The army was very generous to me
As soon as Adriana sees Ruby down, she knows that the entire family is with her. How were they able to afford a vacation here?! Did they steal Mister William Sanchez's money? She rushes down. It would be a grave sin if she doesn't allow them to see her. She wants them to fall on their knees once they see her. She wants them to beg her so that she doesn't ruin their lives by telling Mister William Sanchez that they stole his money. Once she gets out of the bitch, she catches the bright orange kimono that Ruby was putting over her bikini. She follows the bikini to the bar and when Ruby turns around, she almost drops what's in her hand. “Oh my God, Adriana! What are you doing here?” She laughs to cover her shock. “I should be asking you that, Ruby. What are you doing here, because the last time I checked, you couldn't afford a trip here.” Adriana folds her hands. She waits for Ruby to start to stammer with guilt, but Ruby only smiles. “I'm telling you, Adriana, even I didn't think t
After Adriana stole from Mister William Sanchez, he made sure that he took all her debit cards and every bit of money she had. He didn't give her anything for her to travel to Barbados to try to get Mister Edwin Fedelis. She used what little savings she had and Jasper had to buy her tickets, to and fro. Now they are saying that she has broken an expensive bottle of wine, but she doesn't have any means of paying. It's embarrassing that it's happening in front of these people that she despises, she feels very humiliated. “Hey, are you the manager?! Then why are you speaking nonsense about something that you didn't even witness? The stupid waiter was the one who bumped into me!” She defends herself. “Madame, I didn't bump into you. It was due to your carelessness that the bottle fell on the ground, we can check the cameras if you try to deny it.” The waiter says. “It's unfortunate what has happened –” Thomas says, but he is cut off. “Uncle, I am capable of handling this by mysel
Andrew feels like everything has come to a stand still inside of him. His brother, who he thought perished in the fire with the rest of his family, is alive. He has been living with the burden of grief for five years and there are many nights that he struggled alone in bed with the thought of being alone in the world. That was before Ruby and Uma came into his life. Hearing that his brother is alive unlocked something in him, something that he didn't know has been stiff for a very long time. He takes a deep breath in, taking out the cigarette from his mouth as he looks at Tina. This is not a prank, he knows that she would rather die than play such an expensive game with him. “Tell me the truth, Tina. My brother can't possibly be alive. We had an accident, they were all shot, I was the only one who escaped.” Andrew says. “That's what we all thought, sir. But you were not the only one to survive. Your brother was able to get out and we gave video evidence too…” They get into her c
It's crazy because it takes less than five minutes for the news about Frederick's attempted assassination. Frederick is one of the most protected men in the city and yet someone had the mind to try to kill him? Andrew immediately smells something fish and calls Tina to come and pick him up in front of the Sanchez headquarters. He doesn't waste any time, he makes a quick phone call and orders for Frederick to be heavily protected. Once he gets to the house, the place is already surrounded by over fifty soldiers who are armed with guns. The normal security guards have been dismissed, this is now a job that is greatly beyond them. The head of the soldiers sights Andrew approaching and immediately gives the signal for the gates to be thrown open. “Salute the overlord!” Every soldier salutes immediately. Tina drives right through and they get into the house. The sitting room is filled with doctors and there are a few bloody pieces of clothes on the ground. “Where is Frederick Car
The entire city is waiting to hear what has happened to Frederick Cargo. His team has advised that he stay out of the public eye till the day of his press conference. Tina has been around too, because she has to keep protecting him, and the soldiers are there also. Even though Frederick is confined to his mansion, that doesn't mean that it would feel like a vacation for him. He has to work from home because he is a very busy man. Tina just hangs around her own laptop, working. They barely say more than a handful of words to each other. Everyone is going smoothly until the door opens widely as someone storms into the house. It's Frederick's ex fiancee, Eve. “Where is Frederick?! I'm not leaving this house until he grows the balls to speak to me!” Tina frowns. Visitors are not allowed at the moment, they have to keep the threat at minimum, so why is a woman barging into the house? Tina doesn't know that she is his ex-girlfriend. She assumed that he was single, but he never said a
Tina holds on to Frederick's arm as she desperately finds a way to escape. She saw the guy pull a gun and follow behind them. “Are you sure that it's the guy?” Frederick asks. “Maybe you are just being paranoid.” She knows that her instinct is never wrong. “I'm trying to save your life, Mister Cargo, don't try so hard to die!” She turns around and seeing that the elevator is not available, she takes the stairs. It's a long way down and they are running as if their lives depend on it, because it does. As they run, they hear the door open and it's like a mighty thump in their hearts. He is drawing close! Tina takes her phone out and texts Andrew. He has to know that the assassin is attacking them again. As soon as they get to the exit, they run into the parking lot and try to find somewhere to hide, or at least to get to their car. The assassin is inhumanely fast, Tina catches him coming into the parking lot and he aims his gun at them. Bang! He fires at them, or maybe it's a w
Andrew drops the mask in shock. He doesn't know who he was expecting to see, but it definitely isn't his long lost brother. He has been very worried for his brother, he thought that his baby brother was in danger, being tormented by some evil people, but here is his brother being an assassin. He takes a step back and runs his hands through his hair. Andrew is never taken by surprise very often, but this is one of those rare occasions, and this is one of them. “Saint?” He calls out. His brother looks at him through very angry green eyes. Andrew remembers those eyes as vividly as the feel of his tongue against his teeth. He remembers those eyes squinting as Saint stuck out his tongue at him from the other end of the dinner table. He remembers those eyes. He remembers seeing Saint in the car before it tumbled and he blackout, only to be pulled out by Ruby. He thought those eyes were gone and now he was looking at them? “Saint?” He calls again, but his brother doesn't respond. It'
