Miami, Florida

Orlando was irritated by the whole thing "You do know none of this is necessary Eddie he hasn't been here" Sandy says. Watching her house be searched from top to bottom "Is it Sandy Ravi would never just disappear not on his son or his mother.

He could stop this at any time and tell me where my cousin is but he isn't man enough to do that" Eddie says pointing at Orlando. She rolled her eyes "Whatever you can search all you want your nah going finding anything. Just don't break up my shit you hear me or you gonna have to pay for it" she say.

"Then you can go through what happen that day" he asked, oh my god we does went through this already he was mad because we had to delay our trip. Because Miranda was home I was making her lunch and he said why she just always in his house.

Then Miranda says it's not his house that he was squatting here then he slapped her across the face then she shoved him. I slapped him for hit for hitting her my child he then shoved me to the ground that's when she pushed him into the counter.

That's when he hit her again and I jumped up and then he and I was going at it then I told him to leave my fucking house. Because I not going to have he putting his hands on me or my child and he told me to go fuck myself and he left outta here vex" she says. She didn't hear her mother storm in "You telling lies Miranda tell de fucking truth Ravi would never put he hands on you.

Your Fadda tell you to say those lies" the older woman ranted Orlando shook his head the teenager rolled her eyes. "I gwan pettle you one you roll your eyes at me chile tell de truth" Rishma says making Sandy throw her head back. "Mommy you weren't here he hit my child Mimi go ahead baby" Sandy says Eddie laughed its why he knew Rishma wasn't falling for it. "Titi Nena got shot so my papi brought me home because he didn't want to be back and forth.

Dragging me to the hospital and he didn't think it was fair to me to spend my vacation like that so I called my mom and he brought me home. And I was home for a few days and she was going to send me to my grandmothers house that day.

Then he started bitching about me always ruining his plans and it was annoying me so that's when I told him it wasn't his house. It was my house and my brothers and my sisters house not his that he was squatting here that's when he hit me.

Then I hit him back because he's not my father and my father don't even hit me then my mother hit him then he pushed her. You don't hit my mother so that's when i shoved him then he hit me again so i hit him back then that's when him and my mother got into.

And she told him to leave and just like my mother said he cursed her out leaving" Mimi says. "Gurl ya lie you does tell her to say these things about she real fadda because we all know she isn't yours" the older woman said coldly.

That's when Orlando laughed hard only angering the woman "Mommy he knows the truth because I told him" Sandy says. Her mother's face harden "gurl your stupid what you tell he nothing he was never good enough for you" Rishma says. "But my money was good enough to bring you here and take care of you is good you old witch. What is it huh you can take black prick but it's not good enough to marry bitch you darker then everybody here.

Yet you like to run your mouth and want to talk about good enough he lucky I didn't find his ass because I would've broke his legs. Then his hands for hitting my daughter because you wanted her to perpetuate the hate you dish out. Hell we all know Tashin is not her daddy hell Tashin know he anit her daddy but he love her anyway he knew you was a hoe. What he do is pretend to be stupid and you don't have to like my kids because guess what.

They don't like you either most people don't like you because you stupid It's why your son stays in Europe and don't want nothing to do with you" he Orlando said. "Yous a fucking Liar the older woman spat angrily when an officers interrupted.

"Detective we didn't find anything the place is clean nothing is out of place here If Mr. Gallan did come back. Here there's no sign of him sir" the officer says Eddie gritted his teeth. "Good you guys can have some water and gwan from my place" Sandy says opening the door.

"I will find out what happen to my cousin and I will be back to arrest all your rass"he says, gwan carry your rass" she comments closing the door behind the cops. "Sandy what happen to Ravi you guys are supposed to be trying to have baby" Rishma said.

That's when Orlando started laughing "Bwoy something funny" the older woman says. "First off you old cunt I am a grown ass man not some fucking half pint of a man and second yes something is funny.

But I will let your daughter tell you Sandy I have to go and catch the trial while it's still going. Baby girl come you can stay with your brothers at my house" he says going to l leaving and he was still laughing as he did. When Sandy jumped and stopped him as he just looked at her"No your place is with your children not running after her"she says.

Just as his phone rang " Sammy C what you need I'm on my way no Tio text me a while ago that lady redhead just did her first act and Elle is up next. And when she takes the stand it's over for her and they should be home by tonight. Yeah he is but it's not going to be necessary once Nena takes the stand.

Bye Sandy I have to go I'm on my way" he says going around as she grabbed his arm, No I Fucked up I destroyed our family alright. What else do you want me to say Orlando I'm sorry" Sandy says, Sam I'm on my way talk to you no it's a minor inconvenience more then anything later"he says hanging up.

Taking a deep breath"papi I'm going to wait in the car"Mimi says, no Chile you stay right there"her mother says. As she groaned"girl you crazy begging this man he hurt your husband"Rishma says. "Mommy shut up I shoulda never listen to you I was happy for the first time in my life.

It's why I left Guyana a picked to come here in De first place I knew you was arranging for me to marry Ravi. I told daddy it's why he let me come here where I met him Orlando I loved you from the moment we met" she says. Shaking his head"Come on Sandy don't do this we talk about this alright you are the mother of my children.

And wherever you need me I'm going to come because I will never disrespect you because I one point I loved you. So much but with that being said we've been over for a very long time and I'm with someone who is always going to have my back. So I don't know what you want me to say right now "Orlando says, you don't love her and she doesn't love you.

Because she's always going to love Curtis or did you forget I was there too huh O. Like we didn't double date with them all the time or go on vacation with them this is all and the both of you know it. But your both to stubborn to forgive and just let love be so your going to continue to push to be together.

And what continue to make yourselves miserable to prove what tell me Orlando. What does it prove you guys are faking the funk and as soon as you realize it you can both be with your families" Sandy says blocking the door. Running his hand over his face"Ay dios mio Sandy listen to me I'm not trying to hurt you because part of me will always love you.

You gave me four beautiful children but we are over the moment you let him into a space we built for our children. Now please move so I can go you know what "he says backing up to the kitchen to leave through the garage. Tossing Miranda the keys she ran to the kitchen and left"Mimi come here right now"her mother shouted.

As she moved to go after the teen given Orlando the chance to walk out the front door leaving her cursing. "See you make yourselves look real stupid" Rishma say, taking a deep breath"mommy go the fuck home now your not welcome here. I will get the love of my life back so go home I'm done doing your bidding.

I am not happy I haven't been happy in thirteen years Ravi never made me happy. And I am tired of pretending it's over I hope he stay gone because I'm done so get your shit and go home" Sandy said.

As her mother stood in shock"Ravi is a good boy and you let that man ruin your marriage your stupid"the older woman continues. When Sandy closed the door on her and walked away then pouring herself a drink. Looking down at her phone then sending a text to the only person who could help her.


Aurora's Media new headquarters

Instead of taking Miranda to the house he brought her with him getting out the truck. Only to see Detective Gallan "What the fuck Sam ,Drew I'm sorry for the nuisance how can I help you Detective" he says. "When did the work start on this I have reason to believe there's a body buried here" he asked. Drew shook his head"Like we told you we recently bought this property and hired Cordero consulting and Contracting.

There is nobody buried here he was hired to do a job just a few weeks ago to revitalize the building. And my wife and I told you this he had nothing to do with us buying the building. We showed you the paperwork and everything so this isn't even about us this is about him.

But here's the thing if you don't get off my property you will have a problem with my lawyer" Drew says. Eddie shrugged his shoulders"he can make it easy if he would just be honest you want to blame someone blame him. I'm just doing my job" the detective says making Orlando laugh"you can't do a stop work order on a property that isn't mines dumb ass" he replies.

Crumbling the warrant up and tossing it to him then he signals the guys to keep working so they did. "I don't own this building at all they do"Orlando says, yeah maybe be but you laid down this concrete so I'm checking it"Detective Gallan says. All Orlando could do was shake his head"No I didn't this is the original concrete to the parking lot you moron.

We are at the task of digging it up and putting a new one down which I what they are doing. What don't you get your cousin left on his own accord it has nothing to do with me. So continue to waste your time but get off this property detective READY IT UP"Orlando said.

"You guys seem like really nice people but I would find another contractor if I were you. Let's go Cordero I will be seeing you really soon"he say, sure I look forward to it take care now" he replies waving. As the officers left making Drew look at him"dont ask he calls himself coming after me I apologize.

That he dragged you guys into this" he says, he seems to think he's onto you about whatever" Drew says. Orlando smirks" I don't know what he thinks but I've done nothing wrong I've been a good boy. Now Get to work we have a deadline guys" he says as Sam shook her head" good boy yeah.

Your lucky that I love you Orlando" she says, I love you too Sammy C" he says hugging her. Before leaving "papi Eddie says you put me up to lying so you could have his cousins family" Miranda says. " His cousin have a family I didn't know don't worry ounces" he says driving away. But Orlando already knew he put a tracking device or a listening device on his truck.


Port Charles

"No Jax I'm not agreeing to that we are the parents and we make the rules" Carly says. Taking a deep breath"Josslyn take your food and go to the bar while I talk to your mom" Jax says, gladly father" she says getting up.

And leaving the table in a haste Carly shook her head "No I will be chaperoning Jax and that is not up for debate. You haven't been backing me up you've been letting her do what she wants instead of being on the same side. I don't trust that boy and my instincts are better at detecting the bullshit then yours is and he is trouble.

That Josslyn doesn't need" she spat as Josslyn watched eating her breakfast Jax sat for a second contemplating before he spoke. "No Carly your not I trust the boy because I took the time to actually get to know the kid and you haven't.

And putting it frank you haven't even been an adult about the situation I mean you downright argue with a teenage boy. I will not have you do what you did to Michael and Morgan I won't have you do that to Our daughter.

Josslyn is has to learn to make decisions on her own and yeah we are not going to like them but she has to be able to do that. You want allow your son to live his own life Michael is a grown man and if he wants to share custody with Lucas and Brad it's his choice. But you jump through hoops to force him to see it your way and it' s the same thing your doing with Josslyn.

And I won't allow that she knows the boy more then you do and If you weren't so busy trying to make him the villain. All because Joss doesn't agree with you or see things your way and you continue to distance her.

She's alot like you Carly and she's going to dig her heels in just like you but Instead of trying to fix the relationship with our daughter. Your sole focus is on destroying this boys life you know like you blamed Ava for doing to Morgan.

Or did you forget that Carly that Ava didn't think he was good enough for her daughter and it brought her to the point. Of switching his meds that lead to his death so how far are you willing to go huh to cause another mother that pain that you have. And my instincts are better then yours Carly he's a good kid working to become and doctor. So tell me what's your real reason you don't like him or is he right it has to do with" Jax says.

When she cuts him of "Don't you dare say it and No that's not it at all you know me better then that" Carly says. "Then what is the real issue why because he's Elena's son a woman who despise you as much as you despise her. But unlike you she doesn't hold that against our daughter and is very nice to her all the time but you can't even do that
he says.

Just then Sonny comes over making Jax groan" Well I will call Lulu and speak to her about renting the Haunted Star and make the arrangements. You can do the catering of the party but I will speak to Michael I have to take Joss to school now bye Carly, Sonny" Jax says leaving. He was annoyed and just seeing Sonny knowing he was going to put his input in a situation that isn't his he didn't want to deal with the man.

Sonny waited until they left "So what happen did you guys decide that Joss is going home with us" he says. Shaking her head "No we didn't even get to that because all we did was go back and forth. And I am done doing that Sonny I can't this is my daughters future and if he isn't going to do right I will be the bad guy. Have you got anything on this kids baby mother yet I need her found so she can take him and get out my daughters life" she says.


Baltimore, Maryland

Elena got and took the stand Diane smirked "Ms Tavares you are at the epicenter of this story now aren't you" she asked. Making Elle shake her head " I don't know" she answers Diane chuckles right " so why don't I just get to it because we know what really happened that day. Because the defense played the video for us but tell me your take on it because we know for a fact.

That you antagonize and provoked my client in your witness statement you said you didn't hear what she said to you. But you in fact answered when she spoke to you" she asked Elena shook her head. "I don't know what she said Ms. Miller her touching is what got my attention" she responds. "Did you provoke my client as you did so many times before" the lawyer asked.

Rolling her eyes "you can ask the question the same question as many different times and different ways all you like. But your still going to get the same answer I don't listen to the woman when she speaks at all. Alright so I don't know what else you want me to say right now I answered your question" Elle says.

"Your honor Ms. Miller is badgering the witness" Monty says watching her with pride, asked and answered Ms. Miller move along" the judge says. "Your honor I asked her did she provoke my client by calling her salacious names" Diane says. Making Elle laugh "I did not provoke her to do a damn thing Ms. Miller. But someone telling you the truth about is not salacious and let's be clear I don't care for her at all.

She si the one that approaches me not the other way around" she says, "Right because you call her a whore and a million other derogatory names is okay. Here's what I believed you sought out my client to degrade and push her beyond what she could take. And I believe you did have a gun that day but your daughter hid that gun from the police and claimed it was your cellphone.

Because who would have a nickel plated cellphone case and you did all this to get Mr. Ashford and you got right" Diane says. Rubbing her head then sighed " I don't care if you want to sit here and bash me what you not going to do is put my child in this bullshit alright now.

Didn't have a gun and I have a nickel plated cellphone case my cousin made it for me. It's the only one like it and I'm not with Mr. Ashford at all" she says, I think you set my client up and your daughter helped you do it.

You just didn't think she that would do it I think you knew exactly what you were doing and you wanted to push her over the edge. So you can destroy her life and steal her husband" Diane says when Monty spoke "Your honor I mean really is there a point to any us this it seems to me she just wants to badger the witness hearsay. When everything that happened was well documented" he says.

"He's right Ms. Miller get to the point and make It" Judge Turner says she was pissed that it wasn't going the way that she wanted. "Ms. Tavares how do you know my client" she asked trying to take a different approach to breaking her down. Throwing her head back "I met her when i was dating Curtis Ashford she was his sister law" she answered. "Where you guys close" the lawyer asked, " No we weren't she and I didn't float the same circles" Elle replies.

Monty smiled because she just lead him to where he needed to be " so how did we get here" Diane asked. As Elena shrugged "I have no clue on how we got here" she answers she knew se was getting under Diane's skin. "Then you can tell me why your daughter recorded the altercation with you" she says, I have no idea Ms. Miller you know these kids they record everything" she answers casually.

"Ms. Tavares give it up you set this whole thing up to trap my client and it worked" Diane says, Your honor Ms. Miller isn't even trying to speak on facts but on hearsay" Monty said.

"You set this up and I want to know why Ms. Tavares because you conveniently have the video of the altercation. Why what do you have against my client I know what it is she had Curtis Ashford who is the father of your children.

Someone you still hold a torch for and you were jealous weren't you Ms. Tavares because he never married you. He never even thought of it when he was with you am I right she is the one he wanted to stay with.

And it got you angry that it was never going to be you so you made it your business to antagonize her and push her over the edge. Right into your trap and it worked because you have him no further questions for this witness" she says.

" I have a few questions for you Ms. Tavares why did Mrs. Robinson say that you insisted Curtis tell the truth what did she mean" Monty asked. "Because she thinks that i pushed him to tell Tommy that she was cheating on him I did not. I told him do what he felt was right I had no opinion on the matter"Elle says, he shook his head "why do you think Ms. Johnson blames you.

And even went as far as to almost killing you" he says, I don't know I honestly couldn't tell you maybe you should ask her" she says. "Ms. Miller assumes you were jealous of the relationship that Jordan and Curtis shared why"Monty said. "Oh please I could care less about there relationship between them that's there's business" she answers.

"Do you think she wanted you dead" he asked, yes she did I think that goes without saying" Elena replies. That's when Jordan jumped up"YOU LYING CONNIVING BITCH YOU DID THIS YOU SHOULD HAVE STAYED OUT OF MY BUSINESS.

THIS IS YOUR FAULT YOU HATEFUL MANIPULATIVE BITCH YOU SET ME UP"she shouted, Ms. Miller calm your client now" Judge Turner says. As Diane grabbed her" Jordan stop you are blowing any chance we have" she says, " I can't sit here and listen to this woman destroy me or my character and make herself some victim she did this Diane. I want to take the stand Diane I have to defend myself" Jordan says.

Her father reached over and whispered something to her calming her, sorry your honor it won't happen again"Diane says. Nobody saw Elle wink at Monty but Curtis did that's when it hit him his mouth dropped"no further questions Ms. Tavares you may step down" he says with a grin.
