She was 19 he was 22 a year later they had the triplets Estrella, Elesandro and Roman. June 11 of 2000" was all the man got out of his mouth when he was grabbed by the throat. That's when Thomas saw Sanitago standing there.

"Why are you looking into my cousin and her husband?" he said, "What wait that woman is your cousin" the older man says. "Yeah now why you in my sisters business oh brother please move because I will blow your fucking brains out" Olly says. Holding the guy by his throat "Santiago man we go way back I didn't know she was your cousin" Marshall says.

Inching closer next to Olly "Don't move man I don't wanna have to hurt you but I will ,you know my cousin Olly. Elena is his kid sister, don't let me ask you again what you want with my cousin" he replies. "I didn't know she was your cousin Santiago you know me Curtis is my son the one I told you about" the older man says.

As Olly looked at his cousin who nodded at him " I'm listening" Santi said as Oliver shoved the guy. Then snatching the file from him "You don't need this" he said stepping to the guy waiting for him to try something. "Oliveras tranquilo primito" Santiago says before turning to the older man "come on Santiago you treat me like this" Marshall says.

Shaking his head "when I find out someone is looking into my family I have to step in" he answered. "How'd you know?"the older man questioned, "I have my ways. Marshall Olly meet my training officer, my mentor when I was in the CIA.

He's the one who told me to walk away and that I would regret not being there for my family and he was right. Because my kids, all four of them are my greatest accomplishment" Santi said.

Flashback

1997

"Angela why did you leave me I'm very disappointed in you" Elle says following the older girl. Shaking her head "yeah well I wanted to do this I went into medicine to appease my mother but I always wanted to be a cop. Elena and you have other people, didn't you say your best friends were coming" she says.

Continuing to walk "Yes but they are not trying to be doctors well one is going to be a Psychologist or something and the other is a business major. But you're missing the point. They are not going to be here in the hospital so hence i'm still mad at you" she said again.

"Hey Ang you ready to rol….." Curtis says stopping and staring at each other Elena smiled "Hi Elena '' she says. With a twinkle in her eyes that had Curtis drawn in "Curtis how do you two know each other" he says. Elle looked at Angela ``I think I'm gonna like your new job" she said with a smile.

As Angela pushes her gently "Elle this is my partner Curtis this is my old classmate Elena" Angela says shaking her head. At her friend " It's nice to meet you Elena so you're a med student here I know she used to be" he says.

While both ignored Angela " Yes I am I graduated I and I just started med school a few months ago" she says. Angela rolled her eyes " yeah, yeah Doogie Howsers, Curtis come let's go Elle see you Friday" she replies. Pushing Curtis out the door " It was nice to meet you Curtis, hope Angie invites you" Elle responds. "What's going on Friday?" he asked as Angela pushed him out of the hospital doors.

Curtis had begged Angela to come to find out they were having game night at her new place"wow this is a nice how much is this go for" He questioned. As Angela knocked on the door when. Man opened the door "he what's up Ang who theses dudes" Ross says grilling at the two younger men, "Rossy be nice hey Ang, hi Curtis I'm happy Ang brought you. Don't pay my brother any mind, come in" Elle says, pushing him. She had her hair down with a blue belly shirt that showed the belly ring with light blue wide leg jeans "Elena Nichole, este tipo mira sobre mi edad" he says.

"Roberto Ross no es una muerte de moda" she replies when Camila stepped in"Papá, dale un respiro, estás aquí" she says. "So they look about my age, no funny business" he said as Elle plucked him making him grab his arm"shut before I tell Papi that thing you remember that thing verdad" she says.

As he made a face "fine don't pluck me again shit"Ross said "come on guys, So Ang what do you think of the new place" she says. Leading them into the living room" I like it but why the bigger place, what was wrong with the other place"Angela asked. "Well nothing it's just with Sammy and Ramona coming the parents thought having us all in one place with Rossy, Camila Kristina here.

To make sure we don't get into too much trouble I guess" Elle said shrugging as Ross went back to playing the video game"yo where's Kristina sr anyway" he asked. Making Elena shrug again"I don't know she said something about a hot date"she says not looking at him only making him laugh"right touché" Ross said.

As they talked getting aquatinted that's when Sam came in "ughhhh I really do hate this class do you know he gave me B with your brain and my gift perfect wording and he gives me a fuckin….Sam says. Words dying on her lips as her eyes landed on Drew who was in her recliner"Hi Sammy this is Ang's friend and partner Curtis very handsome right. And this is Andrew aka Drew look at his eyes they sparkle" Elle says wiggling her eyebrows making Sam play in her hair nervously.

"Hey what's up I'm Sam you can call me Sam" she says shaking Drew's hand "hi Sam are you gonna play with us over here you can be my partner" he says. Playing in her hair again "umm yeah sure give me a second" she says as Sam pulled Elle to the back with her" why didn't you tell me we we're having male company I coulda changed and showered fuck Elle" Sam says. "Whoa mamacita I didn't know they were coming until they got here and I tried to text you but didn't answer Samantha" Elle says, " yea well my phone died I'm gonna go shower stall please"she said to her friend.

"Bet I gotchu Sammy, put on something pretty, show off that rack of yours"she said, pushing Sam towards her room before going back and stalling them. Sam was showered and changed With her hair up in a messy bun with navy blue jeans on and a white T-shirt while Elle was talking to Curtis. "So what did I miss?" she asked, sitting next to Drew on the couch just as Ramona came in with the food."I paid the delivery guy Camila you owe me money. I used the money from your petty cash Drawer" Ramona says . Taking her shoes off and sitting down"why you in our place"well I wasn't gonna use my money"Ramy says with a shrug, "first off You gonna stop using our petty cash drawer as your personal ATM. So you don't have to take your ass to the bank. I'm gonna start snitching to Tina alright with y'all sneaky lil asses" Ross says.

"Robert we're not gonna snitch on them okay now primita stop touching our shit and stop being lazy. No stop right there Mona don't even think to mind fuck me or Rossy entiendes crazy bitch" Camila says. As Sam laughed all the while Elle and Curtis went to sit outside on the balcony Sam was always amazed at Ramona's gift of gab in distracting the older ones.

Meanwhile "so your brother lets you guys have beer " Curtis asked, she smiled " yes we can just beer though , wine when we are with the family. And I can only have stronger stuff with my father" she says laughing, " so you're really seventeen in medical school like damn. When did you graduate high school and you just graduated college Damn that's crazy" he says, not really when you look at it my parents are Immigrants that came from nothing.

But my grandma was a professor and damn good one she also studied young childhood development so in saying that. She never bothered with baby talk so we started speaking words earlier which led her to teaching us early so that's how that happened" she says. All he could do was stare "what color are your eyes? I've been trying to figure that out since the other day it's not hazel it's different" Curtis asked. Making her smile as she turned to face him"it depends but it's an amber color with a hint of red in it depending on my mood"Elle answered finishing her beer.

Then opening her Chinese food "wow it's nice really nice because I thought it was contacts but Ang said no" he says drinking his beer. He was nervous, which was new for him because he was always smooth but she was different "she was right though anyway, what do you do for fun Mr. Smooth"she says. It made Curtis smile"me nah baby girl" he said waving it off making Elle hiss"muchacho please I can tell but please try my intelligence.

You're very smooth Curtis, it's the way your words flow but continue" Elena said with a grin,"I mean I do okay with the ladies I'm sure that's not what you wanna hear. Because you're interested and so am I. But my only problem is you're only seventeen and I'm 20 and I can go to jail" Curtis says.

That's when she smiled going straight to his anatomy "no you won't first off the age of consent in the state of Maryland is 16 and I'm seventeen Not remotely the same thing so you can not go to jail and second why would I let that happen to you"Elle says picking her chopsticks back up. Looking him straight in the eye" how do you do that" asked pointing at her and her chopsticks trying to calm his nerves. She was straight to the point of not beating around the bush" oh it's easy my brothers godfather taught us when we were little Japanese Dominican. Anyway, let me show you"she says, reaching over to help him when he turned to look at her his face was just inches away from hers.

That's when he caressed her cheek with his knuckle before he kissed her, sending shivers through them both as she leaned in closer, kissing him back. With him putting his arm over her shoulder as she held his face as he pulled her closer not being able to resist his pull to her as the kiss grew more intense. Just then someone cleared their throat making Curtis spoke" Ang go away" he said against her lips,"yes please will be back in a few"Elle says continuing what they were doing but something told her to look up.

Making her pull back but she never turned around "Hi Papi, Mami" she says, "ummm ayy Nena" Esmeralda says as Curtis stood up scratching his head nervously "Umm sorry sir Curtis Ashford" he says reaching to shake the man's hand that Manolo took "let's talk Curtis" he said patting the young man on his shoulder.

He's been with my cousin since she was seventeen. His sister do not know how they met but I know your boy couldn't see past her. When I first met the dude, his sister in law didn't like Elena and tried to fix her up with her friend but that dude was true blue. Now anything else your gonna have to get from your son but from what I know for him it was at first sight they have been through so much together. And they are still standing, stop creeping and be straight with him. The man hates lies" Santiago said, nodding as he and Olly left, taking the file with them"oh and everything you had on my sister is gone" he said as they left.

Ashford-Tavares

"Lo, Lo, Lo open the door please killing her isn't gonna change anything and I got rid of it but you can keep looking if you want" Jacques said sitting on the floor outside the as Sam came up the steps. Creeping past the young couple when the door opened with Elody flying out swinging at him. "Why would you do that? Why would you betray for that bitch" she says, shoving him continuously . As he stood there taking all of her hits before he moved and embracing her with her still swinging but he held her"Loly listen to me babe I know this is hard for you. But all it's gonna do is put a divide between you and your sister no matter how hurt she is that's her mom and your fam is still intact.

Your mom is at the hospital with your dad Robinson text me ,look I'm not lying to you" he says as he felt tears on his white beater. His jaw clenching, hating the situation, hating that she was crying he couldn't stand seeing her like that pulling back and cupping her face. Seeing her tear stained face" I'm not wrong for wanting to hurt she is very much into my father and I will not stand by and watch it. And you set me back weeks Ques for her" Loly says, shaking his head"NO YOU HEAR ME LO I WILL NEVER BETRAY FOR ANYONE. EVERYTHING I DO IS FOR YOU AND US AND OUR FUTURE YOU ARE NOT THINKING CLEARLY ELODY SO I NEED YOU TO THINK USE THAT BEAUTIFUL MIND OF YOURS.

Elody Ciera Ashford-Tavares you are the most important person in my life and I will not and cannot lose you to yourself"Jacques says. All she could do was stare at him"I can't do nothing Ques I'm not built like that" she says when he smiles "I know that's why you gotta stop mama and just think ,take your emotions out of it.

And breathe and just think" he says wiping her tears away her face was red and puffy" I have to start over and talk to Mami did she really go to the hospital" she asked. It made him smile"yeah she did'' he says pulling her closer and taking his phone out and showing her the picture Robinson took of them"they look happy" Elody says.

Kissing her forehead then both of her eyelids"they are but they have their issues like everyone else baby but they are solid they gonna be just fine" he says hugging her. Before standing up and then helping her up and walking upstairs to their room kicking his sneakers off and laying down with her laying her head on his chest. Taking a deep breath"I'm tired Ques" she says pulling her closer to him"I know babe just rest for right now okay we will talk to your mom when she get home" Jacques says.

Meanwhile Sam walked into her bedroom "Drew, Drew are you here" she said as he came out the bathroom with his shirt off trimming his beard"what's up is everything okay what happened now" he questioned. Making her stop and staring at him with a smirk before looking at him then blushing when she saw the boyish grin on his face"is it true Elle went to see Curtis" Sam asked.

"Oh yeah that well Stella came here they had it out like booommm like bad it's like two trains on a collision course"Drew says making a face. As she looked at him with a raised eyebrow " how'd that happen because we all tried to get her to go but nothing" she replies he shrugs' ' honey I have no idea but she must have said something to get through her. But you know Elle she didn't give in easily instead of saying hey I'm hurt she rages and makes the other person rage but I whatever it was because it worked.

So let's just be grateful for Stella's intrusion this time and just let's be that's it let them figure out where to go. We did our part by being here for them" he says, pulling her into his arms and kissing her. "Oh no, no, no Admiral Cain we have a house full of kids and family members…. Drew" Sam whispered against his lips. "DAD! Madison shouted as they heard a slam making them rush out of the room.
