Back in San Juan,Lupita was gettingr eady for her big night, she was talking to her cousin Maria.
"ohh lupita, you are going to have a night to remember, I am so happy for you",lupita smiled as she tried on a shimmering blue low cut strapless dress with a side slit all the way to the thigh,"Yes,and i cant wait to be in his arms and dancing on top of the clouds","Hey,why dont you and rene' join us and double" Lupita said, Maria smiled with glee and said excitedly"SURE!!" and went to call her beau Rene'.
As things were going in San Juan..Back in Miami was another story.
Ernesto and Anayla were getting ready to do the books for it was that time again..TAX TIME when a knock came at the door "I'll get it, you keep working papa" Analya said and walked to the door..she opened the and was starled to see ROBERTO standing outside, "YOU CREEP!" havent you done enough to try to distroy this family, you BASTARD!?, Roberto walked in and headed towards the kitchen where ernesto was doing the accounting.. Ernesto looked up and was about to speak when Roberto stopped him and said "Ahhh..dont get up old man, of you know whats good for you " just then Roberto's goons Jacques and Herc came in from the back door guns at the ready. "Now old man, lets get one thing straight..you dont like me, and I sure as hell dont like you, but i'll make this brief..I know Lupita is in San Juan, and right now old man..she is safe, BUT now you and I we make a deal, I want to buy you OUT! I'm here to offer you $500 million to buy out all your businesses and to make them a part of my Partner's business" Ernesto looked at Roberto with hate and anger in his eyes and said "whats the catch you slimebag?"as Anayla held him back ..Roberto smiled and said .."No Catch, just the beautiful hand of Analya as my wife",Analya was shocked and looked at Roberto and said "you slug, I would never agree to such a vile thing and my father would never do such a thing for a snake like you " and spat in his face, Roberto started to raise his hand to strike Analya but used his glove to wipe the saliva from his face...he snapped his fingers and motioned his goons Herc and Jacques out the door.
As Roberto retained his cool, he looked at both Analya and Ernesto and said"You both will regret the day you refused my offer"he looked at Ernesto and said "And YOU old man..you just signed Lupitas death warrant!, I hope your heart can take it when I take your heart ..AND CRUSH IT!, and as for you Analya, you will regret spitting on my face, just rememeber.. its not like the old days anymore, for with my new business partner, I AM KING! and you WILL bow down to me as you crawl on all fours like the dogs that you are!" and left.
Ernesto held his heart and gasped for breath as he said "Analya..what he said...call Fredrico, warn him, make sure Lupita is safe.", Analya nodded and got her papa some water and asprin, She went to the phone but she didnt call Fredrico, instead she called her brother Ruiz, "Ruiz, its Analya!! he came to the house and threatened us," Ruiz spoke "Analya,calm down sis! nothing is going to happen, not while I am here" just let me handle it from this end, stay with father but dont tell him you called me..remember no one knows im alive"and hung up, he then redialed a number the phone rang and then a voice answered.."Who calls?" the voice said,
Ruiz spoke,"He made his move, now its up to you..BE CAREFUL, for she does love you". just then the voice on the other end said "thank you, I will not forget this,and dont worry.I will not leave her site" he then hung up the phone in the limo and told the
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?"
Lupita gazed into his eyes and he took her in his arms and they kissed passionately, "that is but a sample of whats in store for tonight" as Stefan,Lupita,Maria and Rene' stepped in to the limo, Stefan told the driver, "Downtown Club Princess" and make i t a smooth ride" the driver nodded and the limo drove off for a night of romance and more.
But as they hit the highway, another limo was following them from a distance, a phone rang, the driver took it and said "Just a moment",and passed it to his boss.."Sir, its our friend in Miami", it was Rocko Sandoval and the driver was his henchman Rodreigo
"Rocko here, ahh good to hear from you, I take it things didnt go as planned?" the voice at the other end was that of
roberto,he spoke.."Mr. Sandoval, he wouldnt hear of it, and she spat at me..so now they have to be taught a lesson, you dont cross the lions or the hawks AND LIVE...Ill have my associates give them their first lesson, can you handle things there ?" rocko said with a smile, "ohhh, dont worry,my friend will make sure they get the message, HOWEVER I need one thing from you ..JACQUES!"
Roberto agreed,"I'll send jacques on the private jet tonight, and Rocko..make it look like an accident, I want him to feel his heart crushed with each painful scream,ciao!" and hung up the phone,an evil smile crossed his face.."old man, NOW you will feel as alone as ever" and laughed,then picked up the phone and dialed.."Jacques, you fly tonight to assist our benefactor on taking care our big problem"and hung up.
