" Oh Antonio, I can't remember when last we sat and ate together as a family like mother and son with no problems, no shouting, no fighting, just peace and quiet "
" Yes mother, it's nice "
" Don't tell me you will be quiet all through. "
" What do you want me to tell you ? "
" Let's talk, maybe about your work place or something else.Come to think of it, what do you do for a living Antonio ? You never mentioned anything about your source of income "
" Well mom, I work at construction sites , I also work at a bar and I take some minor jobs from time to time "
" Really ? "
" That's good, what about your love life ? "
" Mom please "
" I mean it has been long since your wife,Romina passed away, don't you think it's high time you find a woman, get married and settle down, you're still young, you still have your looks "
" You think so ? Well is true I am still as handsome as ever,I haven't find the right person yet mom "
" Do you expect the right person to come to your doorstep ? No, you need to search Antonio, go out and socialize, all you do is work work work "
" If I have the time, I will , don't worry . I need to go mom, I don't want Raymond to meet me here,I don't want any problems this evening "
" Alright but Antonio, I think you should move back with us, we can cut cost and save money as well and also it can strengthen our bond "
" And Raymond ? "
" He will just have to live with it "
" I will think about it, bye goodnight "
"Goodnight "
-----------------------------------------------
" What about Jasmine ? "
" She was sitting here when I left "
" Hey have you seen Jasmine ? "
" Oh yeah, she left with a guy, I think I saw them walking to that room "
" Thanks man, let's go Raymond "
" Jasmine !! Leave her alone you bastard "
" Jasmine! Are you alright ? "
" He tried to r**e me "
" it's okay Jasmine, we are here we will protect, you are safe now, everything will be fine "
" Call the police Raymond "
-----------------------------------------------
" Where are you coming from Grace ? "
" Oh wow Andres it's nice that you care and you even noticed that I wasn't home "
" I am being serious Grace "
" Whatever "
" You're still my wife !! Where are you coming from ? "
" I went out with Stella, you're not the only one that deserves to go out and have fun with your 'close friend ' "
" Don't bring Mabel into this "
" I didn't even mention her name "
" You need to realize that you're a married woman,you coming back this late isn't good, you have kids "
" Andres, you need to realize that you're married too, I have every right to go and come as I please, excuse me I need to go to bed "
-----------------------------------------------
"Ma'am your breakfast is ready "
" Alright thank you . Daniella ! "
" Yes ma "
" I will be coming home late today, so don't bother about preparing dinner for me "
" Okay ma '
" What will you be doing that will make you return late ? "
" Oh here comes the man of the house, how's that your business ? I mean if you go out with Mabel and return home late, why can't I ? "
" Please don't bring this topic about Mabel "
" If you don't mind, I need to go , excuse me, I don't want you to ruin my mood "
-----------------------------------------------
" Morning Lola !! "
" Good morning dear, I didn't see you return yesterday "
" That's because you were fast asleep. So what happened yesterday at home ? "
" Well your dad visited and brought some groceries "
" Oh I see, you won't believe what happen yesterday ? "
" What ? "
" Jasmine almost got r**e yesterday "
" No ! Are you serious ? "
" Yes Lola, luckily , we stopped that jerk "
" How is she ? "
" She is fine but suffering the aftermath trauma,she is a little off balance but I believe she will be okay "
" Thank goodness, you all should be careful and take extra caution, the world is an evil place "
-----------------------------------------------
" Hey girl ! "
" Oh Stella ! "
" What's up with you today ? "
" Oh God, today has been so hectic and I don't want to deal with Andres and his problems, do you have plans tonight ? We can go out and chill "
" I am afraid I can't, I have to go see my parents and probably spend a week or two with them "
" Oh really, that's too bad "
" Anyways, about Andres, is the situation.... "
" The situation is getting much worse Stella. I want to go back to those days when we didn't have these problems, when we were one happy family . All these started when Mabel returned into Andres's life "
" Well girlfriend, I have a suggestion, since Mabel is the cause, why don't you get her out of the picture, get rid of her "
" You want me to kill her, I don't want to soil my hands with blood Stella "
" No ! That's not what I mean, I will never advice you to result into murder, what I am trying to say is that you should find a way to make her leave Andres's life for good "
" That's a good idea, I will think of something "
-----------------------------------------------
" Hi Jasmine "
" Hey guys, what are you doing here ? "
" We came to see how you're doing after all the drama "
" You shouldn't have bothered, I'm alright but since you're here, would you like something to eat ? "
" Oh no, we are not hungry "
" Speak for yourself David, I'm famished ! "
" I'm not surprised hearing that from you Raymond, you love food too much, you're always hungry "
" It's not my fault, it is in my nature "
" Shut up Raymond, David you have to eat, you will like the food, trust me "
-----------------------------------------------
" Hi ! "
" Hi "
" Why is a beautiful woman sitting all alone ? "
" I'm here to relax and just clear my head "
" Your beauty is rare "
" Stop it ! You're making me blush "
" Can I sit here ? If you don't mind, I am Antonio by the way "
" I don't mind , you can, I am Grace "
" That's a nice name "
" Thank you "
