TWO WEEKS LATER
Maria has been on the edge for the past two weeks, she hasn't seen Sebastian at all not even a glimpse of him.
Of course she had gone to his place but he wasn't there, she had asked Adrian where he was but he insisted he had no idea.
The one question that was ringing in her head was "why!?"
What the fuçk did she do wrong for him to avoid her, it was killing her so much.
Even Wesley had left Spain and her only company was Isabelle who she hasn't told about Sebastian yet.
Isabelle had noticed her friend's condition but no matter how many times she asked, Maria won't tell her.
Maria was currently laying on her bed trying to sleep when her phone rang.
She quickly rushed to it hoping it was Sebastian but her face fell when she saw it was Bianca.
"What! Are you done with your vacation?" Maria said, abviously annoyed.
Bianca was taking aback, Maria had never spoken to her like that even though she was sometimes strict.
"I'm coming back to Spain tomorrow, I just thought to inform you first" Bianca said.
"Hmmm" Maria said and hung up, she dropped her phone and turned on her bed.
"It's been two weeks" she muttered sadly.

NEW YORK, AMERICA.
Carl, wesley's father was pacing around the living room restlessly as Wesley sat on the couch looking at his father.
"Why couldn't you just handle it like you were supposed to, do you have to fight with Gabriel's daughter" Carl yelled at Wesley after a while.
"This happened two weeks ago, why are you getting pissed now!?" Wesley asked his father.
"Because three days ago, Gabriel called me complaining, he said you treated his daughter poorly" Carl yelled.
"He should tell his daughter to have better manners" Wesley said flatly.
Carl glared hard at his son.
"Do you have any idea who Gabriel is? He is our biggest asset!" Carl yelled but Wesley remained quiet he didn't know why his father was getting worked up over something like this, biggest asset his foot.
"They are on their way to New York at the moment, I want you to apologize to the girl so we can get this over with" Carl said but Wesley scoffed.
"I'm not apologizing to her" Wesley said and Carl glared.
"Am not asking you Wesley Reginald, am telling you" Carl said and stomped out of the living room.

Yolanda was currently in the car with her father sitting beside her, they were going to the Reginald's mansion.
Carl had offered to go to Chile with Wesley to offer apologies for what Wesley did but Gabriel refused and instead, he decided to come to America.
"I told you not to go see Sebastian but you still did" Gabriel started.
"I didn't see him throughout my stay in Spain" Yolanda said and her father glared at her.
"That was because he wasn't around! If he was you would have seen him!" Gabriel yelled but Yolanda was quiet.
"Do you know why I offered to come to New York instead?" Gabriel said and Yolanda looked at him with a curious gaze.
"Because you're going to stay here even after the deal" Gabriel said sternly with no room for objections.
The car halt and they both got down walking into the huge Mansion.
Carl welcomed them in with smiles on his face, and they sat down, Wesley had an angry expression on as he was furious his father is forcing him to apologize to Yolanda.
"I'm sorry for my son's actions Mr. Manuel" Carl apologized. "I hope that does not affect our deal" carl continued.
"Everything would go as planned as long as your son apologizes to my daughter" Gabriel said.
"Sure" Carl smiled at him. "Apologize to her" Carl turned to Wesley who stayed quiet glaring.
"It seems your son is unwilling" Gabriel said and Carl glared at Wesley hard.
"Wesley!" Carl yelled standing up but Wesley stood up too.
"You can't force me to apologize Father" Wesley said and walked out.
"It seems you can't keep your child in check" Gabriel said mockingly.
"This deal won't only benefit me but you too, you can't let something like this destroy it" Carl try to reason.
"It would benefit me that's no lie but even if it doesn't work out I have nothing to loose unlike you, without my help do you think the lider will spare you?" said.
Yolanda sighed, she had no idea how any of this concerns her at all, what she's more bothered about is Sebastian.
When she went to Spain to meet with Wesley she had gone to his place but he wasn't there.
The news about how he killed Beatriz spread fast and she was wondering what the lider would say after all Beatriz was no ordinary member of the falcone.
"Please reconsider" Carl pleaded, the last thing he wanted was getting on the lider's bad side.
"Alright then, the only reason am overlooking this is because Beatriz is dead and the la gente would be looking for her replacement, if I am able to get on the lider's good side with the deal then there's a possibility I would be the one replacing her" Gabriel said getting up and Carl smiled.
"My daughter would be staying in New York for sometime, I trust you would treat her well" Gabriel said again and Yolanda squeezed her fist tightly.
"Claro (sure)" Carl said.

COLIMA, MEXICO 9PM
Sebastian was seen standing in front of the Five members of the la gente, they all had a blank and an unbothered expression on their faces except for Richard, he seemed extremely furious at Sebastian.
Sebastian was standing before them cause the lider had said he would be attending this meeting.
It was regarding the death of one of the member of the la gente, the lider would have to come and pick who would be replacing her and Sebastian would be questioned as to why he killed her.
Sofia was rather pleased with Beatriz death, she doesn't have to deal with her anymore.
Miguel, Sanchez and Raul had a blank expression on, Beatriz death doesn't affect them at all but for Richard he was angry.
One would say he was in love with Beatriz but he had a wife and children, why was he so concerned about Beatriz death.
Sebastian had a stotic expression on his face, he definitely didn't want to come here but since the lider was coming he had too.
The door opened and a man walked in, he was rather old but yet not too old, the members present greeted him but he didn't even bother answering them as he sat down.
"Why are you standing, have a sit" the lider said to Sebastian.
"I have no intention on staying here for long so I don't plan on sitting down" Sebastian said plainly and Richard sneered.
"How dare you disobey the lider!" Richard roared but Sebastian couldn't careless as he ignored Richard completely.
"No need to get worked up, if the man said he wants to stand then let him stand" the lider spoke and Richard fell silent.
"I received news about Beatriz passing, how unfortunate, why did you kill her?" The lider turned to Sebastian who remained silent.
"I heard he kill her because of a woman" Richard said and Miguel shook his head while he sighed, Sofia was rather surprised.
"What are you talking about?" The lider asked Richard.
"He..."
"Beatriz son kill his mother and he killed her son as revenge which was fair but of course Beatriz won't take that so she decided to kill him, it's only fair he protected himself" Miguel replied cutting Richard off.
"That's n...."
"I don't think this matter should escalate more than it already has or else things we don't want coming into the surface would" Miguel said cutting Richard off again, his statement, obviously to warn Richard.
"Alright, so let's try to pick a replacement for her position, we can't have the falcone falling because of the loss of an important member" the lider said and Richard bit his lips in anger.
"I couldn't render my apologies for your mother's death, I'm sorry" the lider said.
"You don't have to act like a caring uncle, you never cared for myself and my mother even though we were your brother's family" Sebastian said and walked out.
"How arrogant can he get!" Richard complained.
The lider stood up and they all bowed to him as he walked out of the place, one habit of the lider is that he never has men following him around but you dare not try to assassinate him either.
"Why did you stop me from telling the lider what I know?" Richard yelled at Miguel.
"Are you stupid? Do you want the lider to find out about Alvaro?" Sanchez glared and Sofia blinked.
"Alvaro? What happened with him?" Sofia asked and they remained quiet.
"Do you all know what happened to him!?" Sofia yelled.
"Stop acting as if you don't know the truth Sofia, you also had a hand in it" Raul finally spoke up and they all turned to him.
"What are you talking about?" Sofia asked but Raul scoffed.
"All of us here know exactly what we did and we won't be spared if the lider or that beast Sebastian finds out" Raul said.
"Neither Martin nor Alvaro were innocent either, we just did the falcone a favor by getting rid of them!" Sanchez defended.
"Let's not speak of this again" Miguel said but Richard wasn't satisfied at all.
"You all are just going to abandon Beatriz?" Richard asked.
"She deserved what came to her and you, Sofia, I hope you have no plans that would make you end up like Beatriz" Miguel said to Sofia who rolled her eyes at him.
"We could use that girl against Sebastian" Richard offered.
"Just give up already, let's not talk about this" Miguel said and left.

BEVERLY HILLS
Sebastian entered his place which was very cold as he hasn't been here for quite a while, he never thought he was saying this but he misses this place.
Did he actually miss his house or did he Miss Maria?
Sebastian sighed as he poured himself a drink gulping down the content.
The fact that Miguel stopped Richard from telling the lider about Maria didn't sit well with Sebastian.
Are they hiding something?
Of course they are, every member of the la gente are skimming bastàrds.
It seems he needs to find out why Miguel didn't want to talk about Maria, is she related to the falcone somehow just like he had suspected?
"Sebastian?" Maria said and Sebastian looked up to meet Maria's surprised eyes.
