As day broke on the horizon,the phone rang Luisa got on the speaker phone, "Good Morning my little puppets" Rocko said " Its time for you all to hear this,you now have 2 hours to take the case containing the contracts AND the 3 Million to the old fishermans warehouse on Peir 2,and again, NO COPS or they die"the phone call ended.

Stefan took the contracts And the three million dollars and put them in an attche case, Ruiz spoke""Ok has everyone got the plan, With Luisa and Analya safe in your SUV Fredrico, driven by your son Carlos, away from the confrontation.. Fredrico, Ernesto,Rene,and stefan will drive in stefans limo, and will stop at Peir 2 just a couple of feet away from the door."Ruiz then took out a brown case, "what is this Ruiz" Ernesto questioned, Ruiz answered 'in this case, is my part of the plan,A part no one will know till the time is right."

Stefan took over , "before we arrive, ruiz will get ready for his part,then as we stop a couple of feet away , we get out and enter the building, there we make the switch and nothing happens, but just in case it does..Rene"

Rene spoke, We know not to trust Rocko OR roberto so as Peir 2 is usually filled with homeless people, I have called the police to put in undercover cops around the area,they will serve as a watching post,and if something should happen they will let your son and stefans driver know and to take action."
"then its all set" Fredrico said "we go to save maria and lupita.." and they left to rendevous at peir 2.

At Casa Sandoval, Rocko and Roberto were ready, "Is everything set Roberto? Rocko asked, Roberto said " Everything is ready with me and Herc, as herc checked his weapons, roberto took out a thick black bag "What is this roberto?, what have you got in the bag?"
Roberto had an evil grin .."Just Insurance" and handcuffed it to the frightened hostages legs, Rocko was angered and lunged at Roberto , herc stood in front his gun ready , rodrigo held him back with a knife.."YOU FOOL!!" I SAID NO HARM!" Rocko shouted,
"You fool, this is MY payback for what the old man did to me, I said I was going to make his heart BLEED by taking away the most precious jewel from him, His Lupita!!" Roberto said,his anger now doubled..as he took rocko by the collar "YOU WILL NOT STOP ME FROM MY REVENGE!" , Rocko laughed and said "Come lets go now..finish what we began" as roberto and Herc went out teh door, Rocko whispered to Rodrigo "You know how to handle traitors,make him pay for his insolance" Rodrigo nodded and cocked his .45.
as they went to the limo , the girls tied and gagged with blindfolds over their eyes.

Rocko and Roberto arrived at the peir at 12:50 pm, the girls were bound and gagged in the middle of the abandoned warehouse, Roberto said "OK Herc, set up our insurance..just in case" Herc Said "Right away boss, and sneered at Rocko and Rodrigo as Herc unloaded bundled sticks of dynamite with timers on them at general areas of the warehouse. "What is this all about Roberto?' rocko Said as he looked at what was going on.
Roberto said "its MY insurance policy, just in case of a double cross ROCKO, and not just from their family" Rocko started to come near roberto, but roberto held his gun and fired one shot in the air , Rocko stopped in his tracks.."YOU FOOL!!! " You think that I would let you take my group without SOME payback?? what do you take me for , one of your lackies" Roberto siad as he began to chuckled, "You are about as smart as they are,Rocko, you never mess with a hawk, because we take whats ours,and Im taking whats mine"! Roberto laughed as Herc set all the timers to go off at 3:30pm the time of the switch. " Now I have the detonator, see all of the bombs are electronically hooked to the bag which is locked on the legs of those two ladies, should they struggle it only lessens their life about 2 tenths of a second more. now THATS insurance!" Rodrigo spoke from the entranceway,"I hear them, boss" Rocko looked sternly at Roberto and said " Lets go welcome our quarry" Rocko followed,he looked at Rodriego and nodded as they opened the doors.

It was 1pm as a black limo pulled into the peir entrance, Ruiz got out first with his case, then the limo went passed, ruiz started to run to the back of the piers to his location behind some crates , and motioned for the SUV to follow him, but keep a distance.
The limo arrived just a yard from the peir " THATS FAR ENOUGH OLD MAN!" Roberto said ,"Now walk towards the entrance remember no harm unless you were followed"As they walked towards the entrance Stefan tipped his hat as they passed "the mission on ragged hill"a homeless shelter some of the people nodded back as if they knew him.

"Its all set" stefan whispered to Ernesto who held the main case,'Just stay focused on what we do and watch for anything out of the ordinary" Ernesto litghtly nodded so as not to tip off roberto and rocko as to what was going on,Rene and fredrico came with the other cases, "Ok now you have something we want, and we have something you want, question is ..who goes first " Roberto said.
"First I want to see the girls" ernesto said as they met face to face, Roberto said " OK Old Man, you will see them " he led them inside and then said "Thats far enough" and had herc frisk them for guns and to see also if they were wired, "Nothing on them boss" herc said, just then a loud sound came from out of nowhere, Roberto took his gun out and started shooting in the air,Rocko said "Ok that shouldve taken care of that " Now there are your precious Lupita and Maria, just as I said no harm yet, oh theyve been doped up just enough to keep them quiet, now the contracts please..AND THE MONEY!, oh before that roberto has decided to add some insurance in case you decided to get smart and call the cops", he nodded to Rodrigo and he hit the lights , Roberto said "this whole place is wired and in the middle where your precious gems are tied up , is a bag filled with enough explosives, that will set off a chain reaction that will take this place and them to hell if you even think of being a hero, and I have the detonator, now gentlemen ..yoru contracts and the money".

The switch took place, and Roberto smiled and gave rocko the key to uncuff the girls, "Uncuff them, for its all ours" just then the lights went out ,a sound was heard , a minute passed then Rodrigo hit the back up generator, the lights came on.Roberto looked around confused "What was that ??" and called for his bodyguard Herc, Herc came up to roberto and said , "Boss..I think ...we've... been..."and slumped Dead to the ground as a knife stuck out of his back.

Roberto looked down and then saw Rocko, "You did this !!" Roberto said angerly and looked at the middle of the floor, the girls were gone,Robertos eyes grew more red and angered "WHERE ARE THEY?? WHERE ARE THE HOSTAGES??" The girls were rescued by Ruiz and were reunited with Stefan and Rene, "Stefan my darling!" Lupita exclaimed as she ran towards him and gave him the biggest kiss and hug ever, "I thought I would never see you again my love" tears ran down her cheeks as she was finally back in the arms of the one she loved. "Lupita my beloved, nothing on gods earth would ever tear us apart ever again" Stefan said as they embraced.
"Maria my darling!" rene said happily, "I wouldve died if I could never be with you my true love" Said Maria as they kissed,Rene and stefan took their loved ones to the limo and stefan told charles "To the suv and their loved ones charles, we've some unfinished business to handle"
Roberto tore into rocko "You fool what happened to your "Great plan" and shook Rocko by the collar,rocko said "Get your hands off me you punk" and tossed him to the ground and went after the case, as he did Rene, fredrico,ernesto and stefan were behind the entrance door looking on, Rocko got the case that had the 3 million , "I got it, lets go WE WON! WE HAVE ALL THE POWER !!, then as rodrigo took the case a shot rang out , Rodrigo was hit in the back and fell dead in his own tracks. Rocko saw that roberto gun was smoking as if it was just fired .." You Bastard!!" Rocko said then a voice shouted "This is the San Juan Police , you are surrounded come out with your hands up" The two decided to try to make a run for it,As rocko went to the back door, Ruiz was there with the undercover cops, Rocko surrendered, Roberto ran for the front enterance, but Ernesto and company were in the way, then he realized his mistake and ran up the stairs,ernesto started out after him,"WAIT ERNESTO.." Stefan said, ernesto truned " NO !! This is my battle , you stay with the women.

Stefan told Rene, "Rene and fredrico follow me , Ernesto is not thinking right we must stop him" they follwoed Ernesto to the stairs,
As ernesto caught up to Roberto, Roberto said "this is the moment ive waited for, to finish you off for taking my Rita!!"and pushed ernesto off the steps with his feet and ran to the roof, ernesto was saved by Stefan,Fredrico and rene, "thank you my friends,but this is one fight I must do on my own' Ernesto exclaimed as he chased Roberto to the roof.

Ernesto followed Roberto to the top of the building, Roberto pounced of ernesto as he came up to the roof and started to punch him,. ernesto fell on the roof as roberto continued the pummelling, then he stopped, 'GET UP OLD MAN,this is not the way we fight, we fight like men!"Roberto said as he got up from on top of Ernesto, as his back was turned Ernesto said "You are right, but you never did fight fair" and hit him in the back of the neck, the fight was rough and furious , as Stefan,rene and fredrico witnesed from a safe distance on the roof.

Roberto reached for his gun, but ernesto kicked it from his hand and it went over the roof and into the ocean, "It dont matter old man, I still have THIS!" Roberto said as he branished a knife from his back pocket, Ernesto knew he would do this and said , "Then lets make this EVEN: and brandished his old favorite knife "BETSY" a pearl handled switchblade given to ernesto by his father Raoul Valdez Gigaulina the founder of Ernestos gang.
Roberto smiled and said "to the death comes glory ,to the victor only praise, it is time old man you learn that I wield the power now"
Ernesto said "You try to rape my Analya, you used my lupita, YOU KILLED RITA...no foolish one, it is YOU who will pay" and began to lunge at Roberto, "You are not as swift as you once were old man,but then again you were never that good" Robero said as he made his move, and like two duelists in a tango to the death , both parried and dodged and thrusted then roberto tripped ernesto and he fell dropping he knife off the roof onto the limo.

Ernesto looked up at roberto as he smiled and began to laugh, "NOW WHO IS KING OF THE WORLD!,NOW WHO IS ON TOP !" Roberto said as he was about to make hsi final move , "You are now finished old man, you have nothing left ..but to die!! and just as he was about to lunge the knife into Ernestos heart, ernesto said weakly, "Never make a check that your butt cant cash " and kneed roberto in the groin, Roberto was in pain and stepped back to the edge of the roof overlooking the ocean.

As roberto began to teeter and lose balance,ernesto came to the rescue in time and grabbed Roberto by the arm, Roberto said , "There will be another time old man..." Ernesto looked down at roberto as his grip was slipping, "No ..no more, not this way! we would never take the cowards way out Roberto, that is what I respected about you was you followed the code of the streets" , "Roberto looked up and said "No ernesto, I respected you,because you fought with heart and soul, there will be another time" and he used his knife to cut the top off the shirt sleeve and fell to the ocean below.
Ernesto looked in horror as he saw his sworn enemy fall into the ocean without a trace. Stefan,Fredrico and Rene ran to aid Ernesto , "no ,I am alright!" Ernesto said , a tear ran down his eye, Stefan looked at him , "Its over ernesto...its all over" as they all walked down from the roof and came out of the old abandoned warehouse. he saw hi daughter Analya and lupita and ruiz running to greet him.. "AHH MY FAMILY REUNITED"Ernesto said as he smiled and kissed them all, Fredrico also came out and reunited with his family too "PAPA!!!"Exclaimed his kids as they too hugged in a reunion.

As they began to leave, they saw Rocko come pass in handcuffs, Fredrico said , "Excuse me for a moment" and punched Rocko in the face!, 'Remeber that and dont drop the soap"!! fredrico said Rocko looked at fredrico with scorn, "Someday ..I will have my revenge!", Ruiz said " that wont be for a long time where you are going rocko" as rocko went into the hlding vehicle.and were carted away to prison.

As the party began to go to their respected cars, Stefan had a surprize as he took lupita by the hand and said " My dearest lupita, ever since we first met back in that open market in Miami, I knew you were the one for me,and you have taken my heart and made it yours forever, will you therefore be my wife" and gave her a 24 karat diamond ring. Lupita smiled and looked at Stefan and said "I found my true love, and with him I will share his life and never find another to take his place for he is my only one, Yes my beloved I do and will say yes" and they kissed as lupitas family and friends celebrated and cheered.

So the wedding of both Lupita and Stefan AND Maria And Rene took place at The Church of Guadalupe in San Juan, alll were happy,and as a wedding present Ernesto gave stefan and Lupita a special gift, he made them partners is his businesses, Fredrico also gave Maria and Rene half of his businesses, but both combined to give them a cruise to hawaii!
As both couples danced the night away Fredrico paused outside and saw Ernesto, "My brother..I know how much you miss her.."
ernesto looked at the heavens and said "I do miss her, I wish i could find that spark again, but no one can replace Rita, if she could only see the man I have become, she would be happy" Fredrico turned to him and said .."Dont worry my brother, you will find that someone you got to have faith". Just then a car swerved to miss a deer and landed in a ditch, Ernesto and Fredrico came to the aide of the driver , she was a beautiful blonde woman who was trying to get out when ernesto came to her door, "Are you ok miss..misss" the woman looked at ernesto and said "Ernesto Guadalsi??" ,Ernesto looked at the woman and said " Yes that is my name, do I know you??"
the blone woman looked at him and said , dont you remember back at high school, Im Rosalita Julianna-Filipolo Rita's sister,Im sorry about what happened to Rita, she was planning the next reunion we were to have before her accident." ernesto tried to speak, their hands touched and it was like a light had hit his eyes, "Rosalita, yes I remember, you introduced me to Rita at the football rally for the screaming tigers, Where is Johathon, your husband? " Rosalita said "We divorced after 15 years, you know he got tired of me and went for a younger model",Ermesto looked and said " The jerk, he didnt know a good thing when he had it !" Rosalita looked at ernesto, "how are the kids doing, it mustve been hard to raise them alone," as they talked Fredrico took the hint and said " uh, why dont you two go to the receptiion and dance, I ll wait for the tow truck" and they did ...Lupita saw this and said "was that..." fredrico looked at her and said " Yes, that was rosalita, your mothers sister, its time lupita, that he found someone too who could help him not only ease the memories, but make new ones as well " Lupita hugged fredrico, "Thank you ..for making all of our dreams come true"
As they rejoined the reception analya was dancing with Juan Ferdinand Ortega, the anchor of Noticiero Puerto Rico whom met Analya during the standoff at the peir.
The next day, Lupita and Stefan, Maria and Rene were on their cruise, as the boat left the harbor they passed a small merchant boat ..on it was a mystery man in a beard and ragged clothes he looked at the ship and the couples and a tear ran down his cheek, "Good luck Lupita,you deserve all the happiness, but beware..it is not over yet between me and your father, we will meet again"
Lupita held stefans hand as she said " You are the jewel in my heart, I love you my Stefan", stefan smiled as lupita rested her head on his shoulder, "And I cherish and love you my dream angel, i am glad I found you for you are now a part of my spirit""

Part 11:Love is in the air,And Lupita in peril

As Roberto's plane landed he and herc were met by Rocko and his bodyguard Rodrigo, Roberto was hesitant to embrace his partner after the harsh words exchanged over the phone, but Rocko broke the tension "Roberto, my friend, let no words of anger come between two people who want one thing, POWER !" Roberto smiled evily and shook rocko's hand,"Better make this good Rocko,we are running out of time,and chances to grab the final peice of the pie before we control all" "Dont worry Roberto, with our equal powers,we will achieve or die trying"

As the meeting took place, on the other side of the airport, Fredrico and Luisa were waiting for Analya and Ernesto to arrive, and when they came down the ramp the joy on their face showed. "Fredrico, and analya!!! welcome brother and neice to San Juan",Fredrico,analya,luisa and Ernesto hugged welcome, "ernesto, when can we see lupita?",Analya said happy to see them.
"Lupita is with her Stefan and our daughter Maria and her beau Rene" luisa said , ernesto smiled " yes and they are scheduled to return tonight friom a weekend of sightseeing" so they all went to the famhouse where Fredrico was chatting with ernesto about whats been happening.
Meanwhile back at the hotel, Stefan and Lupita were just coming out of the hotel along with Maria and rene when a bellhop came and said that a call came for Stefan, "I must take this my darling, it wont be but a moment." Stefan said and kissed lupita softly on the lips. "I will wait for you my dearest" lupita said, Rene then looked at Maria and said, I want to take a picture of you two in front of the hotel, and as he walked to get the best shot, a limo came .
"Ahh you must be lupita, I am here to take you to a very special reunion at the request of Stefan of course",Lupita didnt reconize the driver but she knew if Stefan had a surprize then this must be one of them,Lupita said " I dont know who you are,let me tell stef.." and before she could get a word in edgewise a masked man came out of the back and shoved maria down to the ground and started to grab Lupita,Rene saw this and came to Maria's aide, you bastard! who are you and took off the disguise, it was Rodrigo, the henchman of Rocko and driving the limo was Herc the henchman of Roberto.
Stefan came out and joined in the fight , then Herc came out and drew out a knife and put it near Lupiitas neck, "the next move will be your last" herc said and motioned for Rodrigo who then looked at Herc and said "they seen us, we have no choice, and took out a power burst and tossed it on the ground,it exploded and smoke filled the street, just as the smoke began to clear , lupita and Maria along with the limo were gone.
"DAMNIT!" stefan said, "it was a trap!! we fell for it !", Rene looked at his friend and said "Stefan,look ..they'll be ok I dont think those bastards will do anything to harm them, this bought us time" "Rene,you are right, we must look at this with logic, and then find out just what we can do..I have to make a call, ride up front with Charles" as stefans limo came in Rene sat with charles,as Stefan went on the phone to the police.
Back at the farm, Fredrico,Luisa,Ernesto and Analya waited with baited breath to hear what happened, when they heard Stefans limo .. "OH MY GOD!!" Luisa shouted as she saw Stefan and Rene come out, their clothes torn,their face,legs and arms bloodied
as if in a war ..the families ran to help ..."What Happened, where is Lupita??" Ernesto said worried ..as Luisa got them something to drink,Stefan looked at Ernesto and said " they got her, we fought them off, tried to resuce them ...but Herc had a knife, they threatened to harm her if we moved one step." "HERC!!?" anayla said, "Oh god then that means ...." just then a phone rang .
Luisa hit the speaker phone as Stefan took the other phone and picked it up so as no one could hear on the other end, "Yes?" luisa said nervously, the voice on the other end said "Is This the roguizela ranch?", Ernesto spoke , "This is Fredrico Roguizela, with my wife, who is this?" The voice on the other end spoke "Is the old man and his daughter there with you?", Fredrico spoke again as stefan motioned all to be quiet, "yes they are..WHO ARE YOU ?" Fredrico spoke, "The time has come old man..to settle a score, I told you I would see your heart break when I took what you cherished the most if you didnt sign ..now I have her, and now YOU will be my puppet, or she AND HER NEICE will die!" Ernesto spoke "BASTARD!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER, YOU LAY ONE FINGER ON HER AND I'LL KI.." Roberto laughed "Old man, you will do nothing,as no harm will come to your daughter NOR YOURS Fredrico..YET! now listen , and if Stefan and that pipsqueak Rene are listening..make sure you get this" and handed the phone to Rocko , "Ahh gentlemen, my name is Rocko Sandoval you have heard of me yes? I am the head of a vast cartel ,drugs, prositution,gambling..you know the rest, Now I control all that the world has and with my partner Roberto and his gang the Lions at my side, we now hold all the cards but one..YOUR BUSINESSES gentlemen!!" a stunned silence took the families as Rocko spoke, see we want both the grocery and florist business to expand our vast cartel, the INS and DEA already have several of my men incarsarated for drug smuggling,and other things, but the WHOLE operation is not as you see it, no gentlemen, far from it, I have the underground railroad of smuggling constantly in movement dealing with far east and latin concerns, but several loose ends had to be dealt with" and so when your charming daughter Lupita stumbled onto Robertos secret , he had no choice but to make you pay, but you would not listen so we had to make sure both of you did." Roberto took the phone from Rocko "you see old man, I killed your wife because she was getting too close to the truth, yea I used Lupita, and I made love to her in a drunk rage, and I threw her out like the trash she is"
Ernesto was fileld with rage , but Stefan held him back as Analya tried to calm him down, analya took to the speaker phone "where is my sister and neice let me hear them Roberto" Roberto said "Sure Analya, but only for a few moments" he then walked over to the back room where Lupita and Maria, weak from the struggle with their captors ,drugged and gagged on a couch tied up with Herc watching them and touching Lupita and Maria face "Ohhh such good girls, maybe I should give the a peice of the herc"roberto slugged Herc "NO !!" he then took the gag off them but first said " Now you both listen well, you want to live to see your families again you will just say hello, anything more and I'll let Herc have his way with you so fast you'll want to die!" he then held the phone to Lupita.
A scared and shaken lupita spoke, "p-p-p-papa, S-s-s-s-stefan h-h-h-h-h-h-elp us..." Roberto then held the phone up to Maria "R-r-r-rene, pl-e-ase help us.." Roberto took the phone away and re-gagged them "OK Old man, now here is the deal, you sign over all your businesses to our gang and then give us an extra $500,000..no make that 3 MILLION dollars and meet us at the old wharfside and NO COPS, we will exchange there, and remember ..any cops and both Lupita and Maria will die,you have 48 hours" the phone went dead.

Luisa broke down in tears, analya tried to comfort her,Ernesto took control " analya you take luisa to her room, Fredrico, Rene,Stefan come with me, we must find out just where they have them and plan a rescue."just then the call came from the Police on stefans cell phone, Stefan answered 'Yes, did you find anything out?, yes...EXCELLENT!!, thank you " and hung up ..
Ernesto looked at Sefan, "Well, what did the sargeant say" Stefan looked at all three men and said "we got him!, and if you will all follow my plan, he will never know what hit him,and we will save two cherished lives..but first,I must ask to speak to analya"
ernesto looked at stefan and said "for the love of my daughter, you have my pledge",Fredrico looked at Stefan and said "For my daughter maria and neice Lupita You have my pledge", Rene spoke "For my Maria, You have my pledge",Ernesto called out for Analya.

Analya came downstairs "yes my father and uncle" Stefan asked "analya, I need you to call your contact and allow me to speak to him, its the only way" just then there was a knock at the door, "You dont have to call,stefan, for I am here,and you have my pledge"it was Ruiz, the family were in shock to see Ruiz alive, after he was thought to be missing after the plane accident.
"I know you have many questions, but there will be a time for that later, now we have to save my sister and cousin from two men who are now ..very dangerous,even to themselves" Ruiz Said
"Then Gentlemen, lets make plans" Stefan said as the men went to the kitchen to make some sort of plan to save Lupita and Maria.

Part 10: A shocking discovery

As Anayla and Ernesto arrived at the Miami Herald,Anayla was trying to figure out Robertos evil plan, why was he smiling like a cheshire cat after eating a rat, but that would have to come later, right now she and her father Ernesto had one thing to do, so they went to their old friend, the editor of the Miami Herald.
The editor was surprized to see his friends Analya and Ernesto, 'Analya,Ernesto, what can i do for my friends?" anayla said "I need to find teh photographs from the plane crash that took my mother" Ernesto was stunned and the editor couldnt believe what he heard,"B-B-B-ut that was over 20 years ago,anayla why??" Analya smiled and hugged her father "Papa, I cant tell you why, but please trust me, I know what I am doing" the editor said "Anayla, I wish you could explain it to me, but I'll get the pictures, I hope they will solve what ever problems you have".
The editor, along with Analya and Ernesto went to the archives and found the pictrues, "ok here they are analya, what now," Analya took the pictures and then asked "Do you have an enlarger, so as we can see if anything comes out", "Sure Analya" said the editor.
they went to the photo enlarging room, and analya and ernesto studied each photo carefully, but one photo struck Analya hard, ..
"LOOK!"..Analya shrieked, ernesto and the editor took a look at the phot Analya held in her hand, Ernesto looked and said " Can you blow that up as large as you can?" "Sure, Ernesto, I'll try my best" the editor said as he enlarged the picture to the limit.
As the image was enlarged a stunned look came to Ernesto, "OH MY GOD. LOOK!!" ernesto said and Analya and the editor were in disbelief, as the picture showed a lapel pin on the floor of the plane..it was a gold hawk and lion, the symbol of Roberto and Rockos gang.."THE BASTARD!!" Ernesto shouted angerly,"He killed my beloved Rita, your mother" he then began to break down in tears.
Analya looked at her father "Papa, I ..." Ernesto took one look at Analya's face and said "Who told you this ..who is this person who asked you to do this..?, Analya said nothing, but took her phone out and dialed, "its time" and handed the phone to her father, "Who is this??" ernesto said angerly, but then his demeanor changed when the voice on the other end said "Papa, its me Ruiz".
Ernesto smiled and asked "What are you doing , we thought you died in the plane accident" ruiz spoke "Papa, dont worry about where I am, just know that I am alive and well, the one thing you must do now, is come here..by now Roberto has already got something planned, things are getting dangerous now for Lupita..you MUST come now and bring the contract,dont ask why, but Roberto and Rocko are aligned and whatever they have planned they want to make sure our family is out of the picture", Ernesto was relieved but still concerned,"How is Lupita?, is she ok??" Ruiz said "she is fine, her and Stefan and your neice and her beau have not left the hotel, let me talk to sis, but know that I am keeping my eyes on the situation , lupita is ok for now," Ernesto gave the phone to Analya, "im here brother now what?" analya asked , "Listen close, take that photo and copy it, then send one copy to the San Juan's police and another to our attourney and to Stefans lawyer, dont ask why, just do it as you come here" Ruiz said, " I got to go now, Lupita is ok ..but for how long remian to be seen, I'll call you to tell you where to find me" and hung up.
Analya said to Ernesto "Papa, we have to go now, the flight to San Juan is in 3 hours,we must go and pack fast" Ernesto smiled and said "Lupita will be happy to see us"and they thanked the editor for all he did, "your welcome, anything for my friends" and they left for the house to pick up a few things.
Meanwhile at Miami international airport, Roberto called Rocko on his phone "Rocko, its roberto, seems our problems have now become doubled, its time to write the ending to this war, and make sure your people dont screw it up," Roberto spoke with some distain, Rocko,who was getting a bit angered at the accusing way Roberto was speaking said,"Listen you street punk, I was making millions while you were still a nickle and dime rat, dont tell me how to operate just because you couldnt get rid of a little skirt that thought you were a REAL man!"and slammed the phone down hard..
Roberto was angered and chucked the phone out, "DAMNIT!! He is NOT going to treat me like shit!!, Herc lets go ..its time we settle this once and for all".

Roberto Charlando was so angry at what he saw on the TV before he tossed a brick at it, his henchman Herc came in, "Boss" Herc said,"I just heard about what happened,I cant believe it"Roberto was so filled with rage he took a gun and fired 6 shots at the door,"DAMNIT!!" Roberto said, "Herc, get the limo,tonight, the old man gets a taste of Lions revenge!" and they hurried out the door and towards the limo.
herc sped off as roberto took a doctors bag out and grabbed a machine gun and some grenades,as they turned on the road where ernesto's house is and began shooting .."OLD MAN..THAT IS FOR YOU !!!" Herc then threw a grenade that hit the family's florial delivery truck and distroyed it,and they sped off in a hail of bullets.
Ernesto and Analya saw the commotion at their house,"oh my god" ernesto said , "that bastard Roberto, he is going to pay for thi..." Ernesto clutched his heart and slumped to the ground in pain, Anayla went to his side "FATHER,NO!!!!"she screamed as tears streamed down her face, the nighbors helped as an ambulance was on the scene and rushed ernesto to the hospital.
At the hospital Analya was on the phone and called Ruiz,Ruiz heard about the incident and was angered beyond belief,"That Bastard! I want to kill him, and if father dies, Roberto will rule the day he messed with us, what ever you do Analya DO NOT CALL LUPITA!. she doesnt need to know just yet..but there is something you can do.." As Anayla and Ruiz talked, Roberto's henchman Herc was within ear shot of the conversation. then as Analya hung up the phone, Herc used it to call Roberto "Roberto, its Herc, yep, he's in the ICU they say it was a massive heart attack" Roberto laughed , "excellent Herc, what else you got for me?" herc spoke up "you know that Anayla dame?, well I overheard her talking to some one , i couldnt quite catch all the conversation, but Lupita was mentioned.." Roberto's eyes were red as fire his hands clenched as if to strangle a person. "Damn her, Damn Her and her whole family, I shouldve done them all in when I had the chance!. Herc, pick me up outside the chalet and then head to the hospital, weve some unfinished business to attend to, then ready the private jet." Herc was puzzled "what for boss?", Roberto said in anger " because after we deal with the old man, Lupita will wish she was with her mama on that plane"and hung up.
the next day dawned, and Anayla was in the hospital awaiting word on Ernesto, the doctor came with a smile, "Analya, the test are complete and your father is going to make it", Anayla was happy and hugged the doctor "can I go see him doc?", teh doctor smiled and said "yes Anayla, and give him my best , he can go home tonight" . Anayla was pleased to see her father up and around. "Papa!!" and gave him a big hug Ernesto looke dat her and smiled " ahh my anayla,you dont have to worry about me, I am strong like bull, and stubborn like ox, does Lupita know what..." Anayla shhhed ernesto, "Lupita dont know, I didnt want her to worry an druin her night, but she did send you a card". Ernesto smiled as Anayla read him the card and told about how happy she was and all about Stefan..
"Anayla, lets say we surprize Lupita this weekend, I want to meet this boy who has won my lupita's heart !' Anayla smiled and said "sure papa,but first we must go to the Miami Herald first thing tonight" Ernesto was confused "Why to the newspaper anayla?? what are you trying to do??" Analya explained but didnt mention ruiz as was her promise to her brother. "NO!! I will not hear of it!! Ernesto exclamed! " Let her memory rest!!,Analya was defiant "But papa, you want to find proof ,and put this madman away, teh one place is the hearld"! Ernesto ,with all his bullheadedness couldnt argue when logic was made, "You are right my daughter, we must put an end to all this , and find turth where it lies, let us go".
As Analya drove Ernesto to the miami herald, a limo was right behind them, it was Roberto and herc in the next lane, roberto smiled as he passed her in the limo, Anayla shuddered and muttered to herself.."Ruiz, I hope you are right about this,for not only our sakes, but for lupita's too "

Part 8:Lupita & Stefan and the night of magic

While Roberto's plans for revenge began, back in San Juan, Stefan's Limo reached the doors of the Night Club "DOWNTOWN CLUB PRINCESS" ,a valet opened the door and helped Lupita and Maria out first, then Rene' and Stefan, who paid the valet with $25, the valet smiled "thank you sir,i dont know what to do with such a tip" stefan said "celebrate life and enjoy it with your family" then he and Rene took their dates by the arms and said "ladies, shall we?" as the dorrman held the door.
Inside the club it was a beautiful place,more like a palace than a night club. and Lupita and Maria saw some big celebrities.."OH MY GOD" Maria excliamed, "Is'nt that..oh god it is..LUPITA!! Look!!" Lupita turned and saw Pita Ojeda,Ricky Luis, Luisa Fernanda, and Roberto Angelini from Telemundo's most popular shows "De Mananita" and "Cotorrendo",but they also began a 10 city tour for their variety act " Muy Caliente Quatro" a combination of singing ,dancing ,and comedy. Lupita nudged Stefan as she wanted to go meet them , stefan looked and said "cool,i'll introduce them to you" Rene shall we escort our dates to meet them?" Rene said "awesome stefan, cant wait to press the flesh as it were..especially that Luisa & Pita,They are hot!" Maria gave Rne a pinch, "OWWW" rene said "uh but not as smoking hot as you Maria" Rene said ,holding his side where a big bruise now was showing..Stefan chuckled,"Rene' some day you will learn never,ever, say something you will live to regret, especially if your beloved is next to you.." Rene understood..and chuckled although painfully.
Ricky,Pita,Roberto,And Luisa met the 4 and exchanged greetings, lupita asked "I watch your shows very much back in miami, you all do an excellent job", Ricky & Roberto gave the ladies some roses and kissed their hands,Ricky said "Thank you, a lot of people enjoy our show and we are glad to be here to celebrate with our fans on this tour. Roberto said,"Thank you also for the kind words and keep watching." then looked at Maria and Rene and said "you two make a wonderful couple" and gave them both a hug, "stay well and together"Stefan and Rene Kissed the hands of Pita and Luisa,and noticed something strange..Lupita looked EXACTLY like Pita..
"My god, you look just like me",Lupita Said..Pita blushed and smiled ,then took Lupita's hands and said "we could be soul sisters, your beau has very excellent taste", Lupita smiled and gave pita a kiss on the cheek, "you are a beautiful angel Miss Ojeda", Pita smiled and said ."You may call me pita,my friend"..even Ricky,Roberto and Luisa noticed..and invited them all to see their show, PLUS gave them a free pass to visit Telemundo to see both shows. They talked for 30 minutes then Stefan,Lupita,Rene' and Maria all went to their seats to enjoy the show.
As the show began, outside of the club, Rockos henchman Rodrigo was in disguise as a vallet, and went under the limo, and planted a package of explosives beneath the gas tank of the limo and set the timer for 2am, and slinked off then called Rocko, and said, "Boss, Rodrigo here..the package has been delivered to the doorstep and ready to be opened",Rocko said "marvelous! now return when the package has been opened, remember our friend wants to make sure they get the point"and hung up.
Back to the club the show was a success,and the night was still young as the 4 decided to take to the dance floor, it was a magic moment as Lupita was dancing with her dream man Stefan,their eyes sparkling and her smile was contagious..she knew he was her one true love and forgot all about the pain and anguish after Roberto Charlando abused her and broke her heart. Stefan said" are you happy my love?", Lupita, with her arms around the man she loves placed her head on his chest and sighed "yes my beloved, I am so very happy to have you in my heart". Maria looked at Rene and said "Lupita is finally happy,wish something like that could happen to us .." Rene looked in Marias eyes and said"what makes you think it wont", and asked the band to stop, he then took the microphone and kneeled on one knee "Maria my dearest, we've been in love since high school..and i have one question for you" he pulled out a box and opened it as he took Maria's hand, "will you be my queen?",Maria gasped and was for a moment stunned and said "YES!!!"
They embraced as the band played romantic music,the patrons of the club applauded and cheered.
It was getting late,and it would be a long trip home, so they decided to stay in the hotel part of the club,Maria and rene took one room across the hall from the room Lupita and Stefan took,and as Maria and Rene said goodnight to Stefan and Lupita, Lupita looked at Stefan and kissed him passionately, Stefan looked at Lupita and said "my love, tonight let the stars light our way into heaven and bliss
", and with that he told her to close her eyes and he opened the door to their room, "Open your eyes my love" stefan said..
Lupita's eyes opened and she couldnt believe it, the room was huge, the lights were dimmed and rose petals were on the floor and on the bed, champagne was in a bucket and a fire place was going, Stefan put his arms around Lupita and said "look outside my love" as he escorted Lupita to the balcony ..it was magnificent, The hotel and club were built next to a beach overlooking the ocean, the stars glistened and reflected on the waves and the music of the ocean played.
Lupita's eyes widened, its as if this night was created by the angels, she looked at Stefan,his arms arond her , "Stefan, tonight has been one night i will never forget, just to be with you ,if this is a dream, dont wake me up"as she turned to stefan. Stefan smiled and said "Lupita, this night I want you to remember always and forever" and then took her by the hand and sat on a bearskin rug as the fire crackled in the fireplace, they shared stawberries dipped in chocolate ,then a glass of champagne.
Stefan then looked at Lupita,and carressed her face and said "This is not a dream my love" and kissed her passionately,their lips parted,Lupita smiled ,her eyes sparkling with the reflection of the fire in the fireplace,stefan stood up ,took her hand and said "join me", Lupita took his hand and walked with him to the bed, Stefan then said "The night belongs to you, as you are a diamond that sparkles and lights up the heart of the world",They then kissed passionately as Stefan began to undo Lupita's blue dress and felt her smooth skin as the dress fell off her and onto the floor, Lupita took off Stefans tuxedo and shirt and undid his pants as their passion consumed them and they made love on the bed. Lupita moaned lightly "my love this night WE will never forget". as their love making became intesne. outside the club Rodrigo saw someone approach the limo, it was 1:59am he hit the detonator,Stefans limo exploded and the mysterious figure went with it,The club crowd heard the explosion, teh manager called the police and fire department. Rodrigo sped off and called Rocko.."Boss, its done and it went off without a hitch, I dont think you or Roberto will have any problems now." "Rocko smiled and said "EXCELLENT, return to base and take the rest of the night off".
Meanwhile,Stefan and Lupita in each others arms glowed with the results of a night of love and passion, they woke up and both smiled and kissed .."Good morning my love" Lupita said as she got up to take a shower, Stefan looked at Lupita as she walked to the shower, "It is more than a good morning when I am with you" and while she showered he got up to look at the ocean , unaware of what happened on the other side of the club. he then went to the bathoom and as Lupita showered ,he brushed his teeth and shaved,then he looked at the mirror and saw the angelic,sensual body of Lupita,and smiled as Lupita saw the muscular body of Stefan and smiled lustfully,she then squirted water on him , he looked and said "Lupita, you enchantress" and entered the shower with her and they were very passionate.
As they got out of the shower and put on some robes, they heard a knock , it was Maria and Rene' .."Did you see what happened last night?", Lupita looked at Stefan .."Uh not really, we were a bit buzy" , Maria and Rene realizing what they meant blushed "Even us.." Rene said. "A limo was blown up with someone in it", Stefan was concerned and dialed up charles in Stefans limo "Yes sir" said Charles, "Just checking, what happened Charles" charles said "Sir, I saw the whole thing, the limo that drove the telemundo stars here exploded and as I told the police someone was killed I dont know who was at the limo at the time..but oh man it was brutal"
Stefan said "charles, you get a raise and now help the police as best as you can"and hung up the phone, "lets see what the news has on it " and turned on the TV, Marian De La Fuente and Jose Diaz-Ballart were anchoring "HOY EN EL MUNDO" and were reporting on the tragedy, "The charred remains of Jacques ViRosa the bodyguard for reuputed ganster Roberto Charlando was found in the shell of a limo rented by Telemundo to escort our colleagues Ricky,Pita,Roberto,and Luisa to a night club performance.." just then the TV set exploded , it was Roberto Charlando back in Miami who through a brick at it, he called his partner in San Juan Rocko,"DAMNIT ROCKO!!, WHAT HAPPENED??" Roberto shouted angerly at Rocko on the phone, Rocko was trying to figure it out ,"Calm down..all has been taken care of" Rocko said as he tried to reassure Roberto. "BULL!!, I CANT BELIEVE THAT YOU WOULD SCREW IT UP!!!, FIX IT NOW !!! and slammed the phone down.

driver,"to the ranch Charles, its time for my date".
As the limo approached the ranch, Lupita,maria and her beau Rene' looked and saw that Stefan was getting out of the limo, he took one look at Lupita and said "My darling, you are a goddess! and your friends look enchanting as well, are you ready for our evening?"

Ernesto was among those who helped out the neighborhood after the fire damaged
his neighbors home, when the phone rang,it was Lupita.
"Lupita!,how are things in San Juan?, Ernesto Said. "I am doing ok papa, my concern is about you, I saw what happened, are you and Anayla ok?"Lupita Said, Fredrico smiled and said "We are doing very well, dont worry my child, nothing or no one will distroy this family,How was your party?",Lupita smiled and said "Papa, he is all I dreamed about, we danced and talked till it was late,he's all I dream about", Ernesto Smiled and said "where are you speaking from?" Lupita said "Im shopping with grandma Luisa", Ernesto was pleased and said, "well Lupita stay safe and be good!!, we want to meet this young man. We love you honey."as Ernesto hung up the phone.
Meanwhile Lupita and Luisa went to San Juan's version of bloomingdales to buy a new wardrobe, as lupita tried on many outfits, outside the store, Rocko's good rodrigo was watching, and with his cell phone called rocko "boss, she has been trying on clothes for a while, nothing happ...wait a minute," then a grey ford mustang pulled up in the parking lot, and out came the mystery man.
Rodrigo then said "oh boy, boss..he just arrived! and has entered the store..." Rocko was on the other end "Stop him!!" rocko shouted.
But it was too late.

Lupita saw her knight in shining armour and he eyed her and both smiled, "Hello my darling jewel, your presence here brightens up the day even more than ever", and looked at her in the short skirt and blue low cut top and said " you know what would make that outfit sparkle?" he then took a box from his top pocket, and gave it to her, "open it" said the mystery man , as customers and luisa looked on.
Lupita opened it and saw a beautiful diamond necklace, the light made every karat sparkle like stars,"Oh my, sir that is exquisite," Luisa Said ,"but how could...", the mystery man stopped luisa and said, when I first saw her ,I knew she was the one for me,Ive been in love with her since that Miami street market." the man smiled, Lupita looked at the man and you could see the sparkle in her eyes as she looked at him and she knew that he was the one for her.
"I hope you will do me the honor of joining me for dinner tonight" the man said, Lupita was stunned and couldnt find the words,then said "yes,my love I would love to" lupita said breathlessly, the man then took her hand and kissed it, he then gave her a rose with a note "BE MY LOVE,BE MY HEART,FOR TONIGHT WE WILL ENJOY THE SUNSET,AND THE SUN RISE ON A NEW DAY-Signed Stefan Luis Barroni"
Lupita held the rose to her chest and sighed "we will be together and be as one with the night","Oh grandma Luisa, ive never been so happy in my life" Luisa looked at Lupita and spoke"I can tell lupita, you are really in love, he sure is a dream". as they left with 5 bags, Luisa accidentally bumped into rodrigo, "oh my!, are you alright sir, i am sorry I shoudlve watched where I was walking" luisa said as she helped rodrigo up from the ground,"its ok," rodrigo said "no harm,no foul" and left..
Rodrigo picked up his phone and called Rocko, "WHAT HAPPENED??!" Rocko said angerly.."well sir, I had sort of an accident" Im ok, but the blow gun got broke when her grandma bumped into me,but they do plan to meet for dinner tonight", Rodrigo explained.
Rocko said "ohhh really...well lets make sure their dinner will be one they will never forget then...FOR IT WILL BE THEIR LAST!! and hung up.
As Rodrigo drove his red corvette out of the parking lot, a shadowy figure was on a pay phone..."Your plan is working,but I dont know how long I can remain undercover,its not easy following my sister, but you said to make sure nothing wrong happens, I know Stefan is the one for Lupita, but how long can we keep this charade from him, I gotta go now, let me know if your coming down to visit, im sure lupita will be glad to see you guys, dont worry no one knows im here,just tell father all is well",as the figure hung up the phone,on the other end of the line Anayla hung up from her end and looked up to the heavens and said "good luck ruiz,be careful".

Part 6:Roberto takes on Ernesto

Ernesto is a proud man,his family lived in Mexico City,where he learned life the hard way, as part of a gang called "DOS QUARTO POR LIBERTI" who most fiercest rivals were the "El Madre Tigres" who were led by a young punk called Roberto Charlando, the only difference between the groups was ,while Ernesto's gang actually cared about the rules, Roberto's promoted chaos.
Ernesto and Roberto were fierce rivals, and hated each other with venom.
It was when in High school that the spite would show, when during the senior prom Roberto's galpal secretly fell for Fredrico and went to the dance, her name...Rita.
Roberto was so mad he vowed vengance on Ernesto,"One day, you will pay for all you have done, I WILL SEE TO IT!!" an angry Roberto muttered to himself, "You will rule the day you tangoed with Roberto"

As the years went by, Ernesto became a solid citizen, graduated with honors from college, and opened up a flowerstand that became a chain of shops, his wife Rita was a world class athlete,businesswoman,and beloved mother to three children, Lupita,Anayla,and Ruiz. as for Roberto, his scheming and trechery became well known to a young unknown by the name of Rocko Sandaval, who was the leader of a cartel in San Juan called "The Federal Golden Hawks",the two met one day at a cafe in Mexico City.

"You must really love being king of this city, but how would you like to be GOD of the world" Rocko Said, his dark hair slicked back
and a smile like a chesire cat.wearing a white suit with a cane of gold with a hawk ornament on top,"What do you want fool, dont you know you are in MY territory, my gang can make you look like yesterdays news if you dont leave now" Roberto Said,snapping his fingers as Jacques and Herc stood at the ready.
"My friend, you misjudge me, for I am here to talk business..if that is you call of the pinata boys for a minute." Rocko said, Roberto looked at Herc and Jaques and nodded , they sat back down."OK, you have 5 minutes..talk fast" Roberto spoke harsh.
"Roberto, I run the biggest cartel in San Juan,Puerto Rico, mainly products for distribution to the far east and some latin american cities,and a couple of foreign markets, Ive seen what you and your gang could do, and I want to invite your gang to become a part of my cartel and together we can rule the world."Rocko said brimming with a smile that could blind a cat.
"whats in it for me?" , Roberto asked, his goons at the ready with guns out of their holsters, "Why would one of the biggest cartels want my gang to join them?"
"You got something we want, and in turn..we can give you power to distroy the one who you hate the most"Rocko exclaimed and held out his hand..Roberto smiled and said "lets seal the deal,Waitress,a couple of coro.."Rocko interrupted, "Noooooo Roberto, you are a part of MY cartel,A glass of your finest Champagne,waitress" the waitress nodded and roberto smiled, "Finally, things are begining to jump my way.."
As the years went by, Roberto and his became the most ruthless gang in Mexico City,and with Rocko in San Juan controlling the wheels and money flow, the newly formed Cartel of the golden tiger hawks had power beyond all other gangs,while Fredrico and his family moved into an influencial neighborhood in downtown Miami, Florida. Roberto saw them leave,but he knew they would meet again.
While setling down ,Rita got a call from a mysterious person about doing some business in Alcapulco,Rita got some plane tickets in the mail and flew to Alcapulco, she never made it.
The investigators said that the plane had a mysterious mechanical problem and that all perished, at her funeral all her family and friends were there, and also there was Roberto Charlando,as the service ended, Roberto and Ernesto stared at each other "I am sorry for your loss Ernesto, if there's anything I can do.." Ernesto interrupted "there is one thing, STAY AWAY FROM MY FAMILY" Roberto smiled and looked at a 18 year old Lupita and a 20 year old Anayla now in college..such nice wwomen they are, especially this one ,Roberto took a long lustful look at Lupita the youngest sister, "KEEP AWAY FROM THEM YOU VIPER!" Ernesto said knocking robertos hand from touching Lupita,Roberto and Ernesto got face to face, Roberto said, "Old man...you will pay for taking Rita,and it will be my pleasure to watch you suffer as I take your precious Lupita or anayla as my lover".Ernesto sternly warned "You bastard, you lay one hand on either of them, and as long as I have life remaining I will see to it that you never touch my daughters, If only Ruiz was here,he too would make sure you pay"
Roberto left,as he went back to the limo it drove off, "Someday old man..the time will come when we will fight to the death,and I will take your most charming daughter as my lover, and you will never see the next life"
