As they take they take the freeway home, Anayla looks next to her to see a black stretch limo with tinted windows,the only markings was a flying hawk, the crest of Roberto. "Father, look.." anayla said, Ernesto took a brief look and saw the limo.. "Lupita was right! that is Robertos limo, he spurnned your sister and threw her out on to the street". Anayla looked more concerned as her father explained what happened, "dont worry my daughter,I will make sure we will not be bothered..they will not get to us, they will not harm us ..AS LONG AS I AM BREATHING".
Meanwhile,Jacques dialed up Roberto, "Boss, we are tailing Lupita's family as you requested," "Good!" Roberto said,"Just make sure you are not spotted driving the coporate limo with my crest"..jacques said,"sir, thats the only limo we had." "STUPIDO!" roberto screamed "YOU WERENT SUPPOSED TO USE THE CORPORATE LIMO,YOU FOOLS!", "But Sir,"we didnt have much choice" Herc said.
"YOU IDIOTS!", "YOU MIGHT JUST AS WELL HAVE ADVERTIZED WHO YOU ARE!"roberto continued to admondish the bodyguards,"THEY PROBABLY FIGURED IT OUT WHATS GOING ON, BREAK OFF AND RETURN NOW!" the bodyguards slow down and then trun off the next street en route back to Roberto's.
Anayla saw them turn back, "Father, they have gone" Ernesto looked at the cloud of dust and spoke "For now my daughter, they are gone for now, but at least Lupita is safe"

In San Juan, Lupita's plane just landed, and as she exited the oplane, she was met by her Grandparents,Fredrico Foliconita and Luisa Jupinteria-Floiconita, and their children Franco, Maria,and Thomas.Lupita's Grandparents owned a big farmhouse over looking 80 acres of farmland, Fredrico is not just a farmer, but he is also a well known grocer in the neighborhood, while his wife, Luisa is the owner of San Juan's most watched Telemundo affiliate WPRT,while their children are in college bt they also help tend the farm.
Lupita smiled and was welcomed by her relatives, as they embraced and enjoyed a reunion Lupita and her relatives went to the luggage rack to get her luggage,Lupita looked for her luggage and saw that she was next to her dream man, they looked at each other for the second time since the florist shop in miami, "we meet my lady",and he smiled at her and kissed her hand, she smiled and turned to her relatives who watched , but as she got her bags, he vanished again.But this time he left a single rose with a note attached "YOU ARE MY HEART,YOU ARE MY SPIRIT, OUR PATHS WILL CROSS AGAIN, THE JOURNEY FOR YOU BEGINS HERE,BUT ENDS IN MY HEART-Signed S"
As Lupita and her relatives left the airport, a figure in a cheap gray suit was watching from a distance, he then took out a cell phone and dialed .."she's here boss" the shadowy figure said, "now what..", the voice on the other end said "follow her, i will alert our friend in maimi of what is going on, did she meet him?", the shadowy figure grinned and said "for a moment, but not to worry,I'll make sure she and he never meet, what about at your end boss?", the voice said, "Dont worry,I dont think they will cause too much of a problem,just keep a tail and NO SCREW UPS!"..
The mystery man then called Roberto, "Ahhh amigo, all is well..yess,yess, she has made it to San Juan, and we have her under watch,ohh they met briefly, but not too long...dont worry my friend, our mutual problem will be dealt with soon, and NOTHING will prevent our financial agreement from going through" he laughed as he hung up the phone, he then lifted up a photo of Lupita that was faxed by Roberto, 'Poor little girl, so young, so beautiful, pity you wont live long to enjoy your true love.. he then buzzed and a man in white face came in. "Rodrigo, I called you here to make sure our friend here never sees her true love during her stay, use what ever plans or way you can ...BUT THEY MUST NOT MEET!" he handed the picture of Lupita to rodrigo who then took out a red marker and put an X on it, and said "Dont fear my boss, I will do whatever it takes to make sure she never meets him," he leaves, as the face of Rocko Sandaval is revealed.."He will rule the day he returned ..it is almost time, time for the final standoff, and this time..you wont darken my path again" Rocko then takes a gun out and cocks it as if to fire it at a target, and laughs.
