Adrian was rather shocked, she seemed regretful about it but she still did it, if he were to be honest with her, her regretfully attitude meant nothing.
"How?" He asked and Isabelle sighed looking at him.
"You won't tell her right?" Isabelle asked.
"I don't know" Adrian answered.
"What do you mean you don't know" Isabelle said almost yelling then she sighed as nothing came from Adrian.
"I was planning on telling her anyway, I was just scared of the outcome, Maria hate being deceived and am sure you know that since you are her psychiatrist" Isabelle said.
"How did you owe Gabriel so much, there's a lot I want to find out about this?" Adrian said with curiosity.
"I venture into a business and I had no idea it was a scam, I tried fixing it by borrowing some money but it got worse and I still lost even the money I borrowed, I had no idea i borrowed money from Gabriel, when I found out I tried paying to avoid issues, I didn't want to tell my aunt about it cause I was scared she would get mad, I wanted to fix things myself" Isabelle started.
"I should have just my aunt, I would definitely get scolded but It would have been settled and I won't be in this situation, 3years ago Maria asked me to check on her hospital and make sure it was doing well, I did and found out the man in charge was a fraud, but when I saw how much he was gaining i joined in cause I really needed that much money but Maria found out recently about it and I was able to keep him away from her cause she trusted me to handle it" Isabelle said with guilt written all over her face.
"Is the amount really that big that you haven't paid it even after 3years?" Adrian asked Surprised.
"I told you the interest was unbearable, it was way too much and the money kept increasing every month" Isabelle said.
"I really don't know what advice I would give you, Gabriel is very devious, it's really shocking how you got involved with him" Adrian sighed.
"You should tell Maria before she finds out herself" Adrian said again and Isabelle nodded.
"I know, I will tell her" Isabelle sighed.

"I heard what happened to your daughter, my deepest apologies" Sofia said.
"Sabes por qué estoy aquí Sofia (you know why am here, Sofia)" Sanchez said and Sofia sighed.
"No creo que pueda ayudarte con nada, Sebastián es demasiado peligroso (I don't think I can help you with anything, Sebastian is too dangerous)" Sofia said and Sanchez scoffed.
"¿Por qué todos tienen miedo de un solo hombre? (Why is everyone afraid of just one man?)" Sanchez complained.
"The man who did the impossible job, the one who made the falcone what it is today, the lider favours him, who wouldn't be afraid, you've seen what happened to those who crossed him" Sofia said bluntly warning Sanchez.
"Exactly why he needs to be stopped, he would go out of hand like his father and try to leave the falcone!" Sanchez yelled.
"Untill then, we can't do anything to him" Sofia said calmly.
"Myself and the others have a plan that would work perfectly, all we need is your cooperation" Sanchez spoke more calmly this time.
"What if you all fail" Sofia asked.
"We won't, as long as you cooperate" Sanchez said and Sofia sighed.
"Think about it, this is the only chance we have" Sanchez said and Sofia nodded in agreement.
"I would speak with my daughter but if this plan fail I don't want us implicated" Sofia said and Sanchez nodded.

Mario was pacing around the room while Fernando relaxed on the couch with his phone in his hand.
"I don't know why you're so disturbed, the falcone doesn't even know I exist, Luis has by handling everything just fine" Fernando said and Mario stopped pacing.
"Seriously? You're just going to leave all that wealth for Luis to take?" Mario asked.
"How many times do I have to say this, my father had his reasons for not telling neither me or my sister about his assets in the falcone, I found out and have been benefiting from it and almost got myself in trouble with Miguel, the falcone is too dangerous for me, I will leave Luis to handle it just as he has been doing" Fernando said and Mario sighed massaging his temples.
"Fine If you say so, how's Maria?" Mario asked and Fernando looked at him suspiciously.
"You have been asking about my sister a lot lately, I hope it's not what am thinking" Fernando said.
"Am just asking and you haven't said anything bad about her recently, seems what she did at Miguel's auction really touched you" Mario said and Fernando sighed.
"Just leave" Fernando said to Mario and returned to his phone.
"I was about to" Mario said and got up leaving the house.
When he got out he made a call
"Did you do everything I asked?" He said over the phone.
"Good" he said and hung up.

"He kil..."
"I don't want to hear it Wesley, I know you looked into him because you cared about me but I don't want to know what he do" Maria cut him off and Wesley sighed.

"She has been my idol, she's a really good doctor, of course I love working under her" Bianca said and Sofia nodded.
"What about Yolanda?" Sofia asked again.
"She's hardly in Spain so I don't really get to work with her" Bianca replied.
"Is there something wrong?" Bianca asked.
"No, not at all, I just need a little information on Maria and what she usually does, to keep you safe" Sofia said and Bianca smiled.
"It's alright, you don't need to worry about me" Bianca said but Sofia wasn't having it.
"I don't know what she usually does mom, am only a trainee more like her assistant, she has a brother though who disturbs her a lot, he is actually a gambler, oh and Yolanda seem to hate her cause of Sebastian" Bianca informed and Sofia nodded.

BEVERLY HILLS
Sebastian got off the phone with Adrian and sighed, Adrian told him Sanchez wasn't doing anything about his daughter's death which was supposed to sound like a good thing but it wasn't good at all.
Knowing Sanchez he wouldn't just sit back and do nothing but why is he so quiet about the situation, something definitely isn't right.
The door opened and Maria entered.
Sebastian furrowed when he saw her and Maria was confused, wasn't he happy to see her?
"aren't you happy to see me, what's the problem?" Maria asked.
"After spending your entire day with that foreigner, definitely not" Sebastian scoffed and Maria smiled.
"Is that jealousy am sensing?" Maria said as she walked closer to him but he ignored her.
She got to him and Hugged him tightly, he let her but didn't hug her back.
"Don't you want to know what we talked about?" Maria asked but Sebastian was silent and Maria smiled.
"He wanted me to stay away from you" Maria breathed.
"It seems he is asking for death" Sebastian said coldly.
"That's too harsh" Maria said looking up at him.
"Protecting him? He really has to die" Sebastian said and Maria chuckled.
"He thinks you're dangerous for me and I would get hurt" Maria said her head returning to his chest as she hugged him more.
"I would never allow that" Sebastian assured.
"I know you won't" Maria said and Sebastian made her face him and he kissed her, Maria returned the kiss as it deepened.

NEW YORK, AMERICA
"Are you okay honey, why did Wesley leave again?" A woman asked, she was Wesley's mother, Caroline.
"That idiot almost got me in trouble!" He yelled and Caroline sighed.
"With Gabriel?" Caroline asked.
"Yes! You know how devious that man can be, he is now a member of the la Gente, I can't believe the lider chose him to replace Beatriz" Carl yelled.
"I heard he killed his wife" Caroline said And Carl nodded.
"She died because he thought she was having an affair with Martin Alejandro" Carl said massaging his temples.
"Was she?" Caroline asked.
"Martin wasn't a good person, it was good he died, he had a wife but still went after Gabriel's wife!" Carl complained and Caroline sighed.
"I pity poor Yolanda, she is suffering her father's wrath in place of her mother" Caroline said sadly.
"Gabriel thinks he is above me but he doesn't know what I have planned for him, I would crush him till the extent he won't be able to stand up" Carl said.
"What do you possibly have that would defeat Gabriel?" Caroline asked.
"His wife's affair with Martin wasn't frutile, Yolanda is Martin's daughter not Gabriel, do you think if the young girl find out she would keep on putting up with Gabriel's attitude?" Carl said and Caroline was quiet.
