Tavares House

"Jordan what are you doing here" Curtis asked when he saw her and Anna, yeah your baby is here mate so you can carry on" Wallace says walking back towards the room. As Curtis watches him annoyed that this guy was stepping on his toes he need to talk to her. He knew her well enough to know that she was playing possum to avoid telling them the truth.

Jordan looked at him incredulously " well when i heard you were going to be at racketeerers house that you were supposed to put in prison. I got worried and when you wouldn't answers i came to find you this is a set up Curtis.

And that woman has some explaining to do as to why" she says. Taking a deep breathe "it isn't a set up Jordan she told the truth" he answers, baby she wanted you to chase her and that is exactly what your doing" Jordan says.

Shaking his head "THEY ARE MINES!" he said loudly in a hush tone pulling her aside, and you what you believe because she told you they are yours come on Curtis" Jordan said. While Karina shook her head " yeah Curtis come on" she says mockingly rolling her eyes.

Going to grab his hands but he pulled away"he's not a racketeerers he was supposed to look like that. Look its a long story I would rather not get into right now I'm not being set up. I know exactly why I'm here but right now I need to go speak to a stubborn woman in there" he says. That's when she grabbed his hand "no Curtis we need a plan"she says in a hush tone.

Not knowing that they both heard her"Yeah a plan for what exactly"Esmerelda says. Making Jordan look at her meanwhile Wallace sat there"i know you not sleeping. So might as well tell me what's going on he isn't here" he said. "Oh come on all the s agencies weren't looking into from one time or another for no reason"Jordan said.

As Manolo smiled"Well as you can see I'm a innocent man if I wasn't I would be in prison" he says. "Right the kinds like you have their ways around that we all know that"Anna says. That's when he held his chest in mock hurt" I don't know what you mean Ms. Devane that is offensive" Manolo says with a smile.

"Abuelo, Abuela is my mom okay" the twins say simultaneously making everyone turn and look at them. Jordan looked on in shock before she looked at Curtis "we need to speak to her now and we need to... was all she got out. Just as Esmeralda was about to speak the door opens.

But got no response nodding his head you want to play possum I'll bite let me guess. Why don't we he's Cici and Dom's father the ex husband you don't ever want to talk about. You know I'll make one phone call and I'll find out everything but I want you to tell me Elena" Wallace says.

As he studied her" Elena,Elle babe wake up I know your awake" he says getting up. "She's asleep fool"Olly says coming in I mean she's good at playing possum but not that damn good Dugray" he says.

With the man looking at Olly irritated"What's your problem mate every time I come here you got an issue"Wallace says. Getting up and standing in the other man's face"You know exactly why I don't like you Hell and my sister isn't a stupid woman. She probably knows to because I like everybody so if I don't like you I have good reason.

You talk about a past she doesn't want to talk about what about you Dugray. Because I know one thing for sure that fool who I like a little less than you. Is gonna come in here and bare his soul and lay all at her feet his baggage be damned. All the while you're the one that plays possum" Olly says.

Making the man glare at him"I told you the last time to stay out my bloody past didn't I"Wallace says pulling out his gun. It made Oliver smile"oohh testy, testy are we James Bond don't be upset with me.

Because I'm just saying Elle probably knows and it's why she didn't tell you what was going on. Making you and everyone else think she's dead I mean Sam told her significant others. So why not you huh why wouldn't she tell hers hmmm makes one wonder"he said with a grin.

That's when he raised his hand with the gun in it"Im not gonna tell you again Olly stay out of it"he said. Olly still smiled"imma big brother Wallace it's my job to know well after Curtis I made. It my business to know everything about who my sister's bring home.

Not the bed warmers just the ones she let's around my niece and nephew then the family. What you think my father don't know please man I'm just saying don't let her hear it from. Anyone else but you because if she does you don't have a snow ball chance in hell.

So you should go and think about that Bond , James Bond" Olly says laughing. All Wallace could do is glare at him before putting his gun away then leaving the room bumping into Curtis. As he did "Mr. Ashford we need to talk now"Wallace says still ticked off.

"What I need to speak to you for I don't know you" Curtis replied all the while Oliver stood in the doorway. With his arms across his chest "I'm not asking I'm telling you we need to talk" the other man says. "Oooohhh what you gonna talk about are you gonna braid each other's beards.

And do each other nails and see who fucked up the most to Gage who has the better chance with my sister. If you ask me I think she throw the both of you away and start over" Olly says. It made Wallace turned around and glare at him before he swung at him.

Making Olly move out of the way as he shoved Wallace into Curtis. Who shoved the man back that's when Wallace punched him in the side before him and Curtis. Started to exchange blows as Manolo backed his wife and the kids up.

"Oliveras what did you do" he asked his son who held a smirk then shrugged. "I didn't do anything papi I swear I shook some trees he got real pissy I guess he didn't have his tea. Just yet I don't know you two go sit with your mom" he answered before stepping in and breaking it up.

When Wallace shoved him"you gonna stop pushing my bloody buttons Olly" he says angrily. As Manolo held Curtis back"enough men walk it off because if you had broken anything I would have. Shot the both of you act like grown men oh and Ms. Ashford you and Ms Devane can go.

Mijo see them out of my house"Manolo said walking away all while Wallace and Curtis stared daggers at each other. "come let's get you two cleaned up" Esmerelda says, "Curtis baby let's go we need to discuss this in private" Jordan says.

As he pulled away" no this is is being addressed now he says wiping his face off then going into room. While Wallace gritted his teeth before walking away Esmerelda looked at Olly who shrugged. Curtis walked in to find the young girl curled up next to Elle as the boy sat on her side.

"Hey your awake I think we need to talk now because I'm not doing the run around I know you want to stick it to me. Because of what happened but you owe to me and yourself" Curtis says.

"I don't owe you shit and now isn't the time"she responded, "no Elena you don't get to decide that. On your on or did you forget I was your husband and you didn't tell me anything"he said. "You didn't tell me plenty so that makes us even" Elle says, "No I would have told you anything and you know it"he shot out.

"Mami who is this dude and why is saying he was your husband" the teenager asked. Knowing that they would just go back and forth because they we're both stubborn as Hell. Taking a deep breath " Dom, CiCi this is Curtis Ashford he is your sperm donor" Elena said as both teens looked on in shock." Your our dad" Dom asked

" Yeah look I just found out and I wanted to meet you guys" Curtis answers, that is when it hit them " so you were going to have him leave and not say anything" they said simultaneously. Sighing " Yes I was " Elena answers, "Why is that ma "they ask as the tears start to form in their eyes. Wishing she had more time to get them ready for this conversation " because a lot of bad things happen and he knows why" she says.

Dominic looked at his sister who was at a loss of words " we don't understand why Ma" he said looking at her hurt. " Do you want to tell them why or should I because I had no time to prepare them for this conversation, but you pushed the stage is yours GO AHEAD" Elle watching him. " Umm your mother has her reason to feel the way she does what i did unknowingly or not.

I met your mother while i was undercover for the DEA and we fell in love but what i didn't know was that she was the daughter of my target. Your mom thought i was using her to get to her father and it just kind of was all downhill from there . And the stuff with my family imploding the way it did and my addiction did help matters but Curtis says.

"Wait, you're that guy that tried to put Abuelo in prison?" Dominic asked, looking at him in shock. Seeing the hurt in their eyes " Yeah but i cou... was all Curtis got up before Dominic got up. " Nah my mother is right you got to go bro" the teenager said getting up, wait no Dom Ciena said trying to calm her brother down.

Shaking his head " No wait what Cici tell me something man did you use her?" Dominic asked, In that moment he knew this was going to be an uphill battle. Putting his hand up stopping her from saying anything " No i didn't i loved your mother she meant everything no Elena I told you that your gonna hear me.

I had no intentions on saying anything about you grand father it was just the opposite. Because I couldn't in good conscience do that to her I could never hurt her like that. I had planned to tell her but someone told her first before I had a chance to.

So when I go there to tell her she was pissed and she wouldn't hear any of it. And I told myself that I just needed to let her calm down so I left when she asked me too. But when I came back she was gone she had cleared out our place leaving behind.

All our pictures and her wedding ring and divorce papers that I never signed. Because it wasn't over for me and I tried looking for her but I knew KK made her a ghost. So I wouldn't be able to find anything and I nosedive into my other addiction. As the rest of my life crumbled around me until I got cleaned up.

Then I started my search again and but I couldn't find anything on her. So I gave up because and that took 8 years for me to do and another 6 years to even move on. I knew I would never find a love like that so it was no point in trying. So I settled for the person who turned my life upside down thinking it what I deserved" he said.

Looking Elena straight in the eyes as the twins looked between them. As Elle turned her head"I don't believe you" she says, "Elena the problem isn't that you don't believe because you do. I can see it in your eyes the problem is whoever told you before I did sold you a story.

And they conned you and it has you feeling away and you don't like to feel that way. Because you're big brain of yours is going a mile a minute because you didn't see it. But I have one question who told you before I did"Curtis says.

When she looks over to him "you already know who told me and if you wanted to find me you could have because I wasn't hiding" Elle says. Catching him by surprise"wait if it wasn't KK then who was it" he asked.
