Sandy's house

"Jose, when are you gonna let this go? You haven't even gone to see Rigoberto" Carmen says trying to get through to her husband. " WHEN YOU STOP DIVIDING OUR FAMILY WITH YOUR NONSENSE AND YOUR HATRED THAT. IS WHEN I WILL LET IT GO RIGO WOULDN'T BE THERE IF YOU HADN'T CALLED THE POLICE.

This is on you has a record for assault because of you no me not Reya but you Carmen. And I don't want to keep going over this and you further create this divide with your bullshit at Elvis's birthday.

I have had enough Reya was a child when you let Rigo, Ismael and Starlin abuse her YES IT WAS ABUSE. ALL THE WHILE YOU LIE TO MY FACE.

I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS CARMEN I KNEW HOW YOU FELT ABOUT KOJI BUT OUR GRANDCHILDREN. OUR FLESH AND BLOOD LISSEL GAVE BIRTH TO THAT YOUNG WOMAN AND ALL YOU DO IS REASSURE THAT SHE WILL NEVER SPEAK TO YOU. WHY BECAUSE SHE LOOKS LIKE KOJI YES DON'T LIE TO ME MALDITA PUTA.

YOU DESTROYED OUR FAMILY AND YOU SIT HERE AND YOU BLAME REYA FOR EVERYTHING. SHE'S DONE NOTHING WRONG YOUR LAST STUNT AT ELVIS IS IT FOR ME YOU NEED TO LOOK AT YOURSELF. AND REALIZE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE" he spat coldly, "ME THIS IS MY FAULT SHE IS THE REASON RIGOBERT WAS IN JAIL.

ALWAYS ANTAGONIZING HIM BUT YOU PLAY BLIND WHEN SHE DOES SHE ALWAYS HAS JOSE. AND YOU LET HER GET AWAY WITH EVERYTHING YOU ARE THE REASON YOU ALLOWED LISSEL TO MARRY THAT MAN. I TOLD YOU HE WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR HER BUT YOU INSISTED HE DESTROYED OUR DAUGHTERS LIFE.

YOU BROUGHT HIM INTO OUR LIVES AND OUR FAMILY AND HE HAS DESTROYED IT AND YOU BLAME THIS ON ME. LISSEL WOULD BE HAPPY WITH ROBERTO SHE WOULD BE A PROPER WIFE AND WE WOULDN'T BE GOING THROUGH THIS RIGHT NOW" she shouted back. Scoffing "A proper wife huh what does that mean do what her husband says and don't have an opinion of her own.

Like Belkis, you forced her into marrying a man who didn't love her who abused her. And where did that get her huh buried before she was even 30 she didn't even get to see her children grow up. She cried to you and you sent her back to him and he killed our daughter, not that other young man.

That man you forced our daughter to marry BEAT HER TO DEATH WHILE HER CHILDREN WATCHED AND CRIED. NOT BEING ABLE TO HELP HER OR TO GET HIM TO STOP HAD YOU HELPED HER. OR LET HER STAY UNTIL THE SMOKE CLEAR SHE WOULD BE HERE KOJI LOVES LISSEL.

HE TREATS HER WITH RESPECT AND HOW SHE DESERVES TO BE TREATED. SHE'S HAPPY AND YES THAT MAKES ME HAPPIER THAT ONE OF MY GIRLS ARE HAPPY. BUT YOU MISTREAT REYA TO SPITE LISSEL FOR FOLLOWING HER OWN HEART.

WHY BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T DO WHAT YOU WANTED AND I WOULDN'T HAVE NEVER LET HER MARRY ROBERTO. EVER BECAUSE HE WAS MUJERIEGO AND NO BETTER THAN THAT COUSIN OF HIS.

AND I WOULDN'T HAVE THAT FOR ANOTHER ONE OF MY DAUGHTERS AT ALL. The fact of the matter is you are never gonna see it and I can't unsee your hatred for our grandchild. I love all of them but you created this environment of hate and I cannot do this anymore.

So either you change it or it's over because I will not be ignorant to your hatred anymore that's it"Jose Rafael says. Taking her by surprise "after everything we've been through after 61 years you do this to me please MI AMOR.

No please" Carmen pleaded, grabbing his hand "suéltame Carmen I told you what it is. This hurts me to do because I love you but you are not the woman I fell in love with. She wasn't cruel" he said, pulling away and leaving.

Jordan's house

"This weekend started out perfectly and in one night it went all to hell Eb my son is getting married. Tomorrow and I'm not gonna be there. I wasn't gonna let him take my son from me. I needed to protect TJ from him. I didn't know what he would do after he pulled a gun on Shawn.

He could have shot me if he was angry enough. I don't know that and that woman ugh don't get me started. On her that trifling bitch she's really lucky daddy stopped me from beating her ass. I knew that bitch was a snake" Jordan ranted as her sister watched her.

When Ebony gave her a look "JoJo listen I understand why you did it that's why I helped. Because I didn't think he was stable and that is why I wrote that letter but this all started with you honey. You should have been honest with TJ when he got older now you look bad and Tommy looks good.

In his eyes Jordan because you've kept one too many secrets from him and I get it we all do things to protect our children. You know I never wanted JT to find out about Nicky but he did and I couldn't act like he didn't exist. And you look at Nicky she looks just like his sister and his mother and. I was forced to tell her the truth and the moment Curtis showed up here instead of having him arrested.

You should have spoken to TJ yourself because now he sees you as the enemy and I know what Tommy has done. In retaliation to finding out you slept with Shawn you should have told him all that. Because now I'm sure Tommy has to look more honest to him JoJo" her sister says.

With a sigh "Eb I know what I did was wrong It was one mistake I couldn't put that on him it's my job to protect him he is my son Ebony. I couldn't do that to him but Tommy sleeping with that woman knowing that she was with Shawn. She is an evil woman and now she's buddying up to MY SON THEY GET TO BE THERE AROUND MY SON.

I do regret what I did in my marriage but I raised TJ not Thomas I DID AND I DON'T REGRET IT. BECAUSE I HAD TO PROTECT MY SON BECAUSE I KNEW TOMMY WOULD POISON HIM AGAINST" she says.

Shaking her head "JoJo I know you were doing what you needed at the time but TJ doesn't see that. And he isn't going to until he has kids of his own and you have to make the hard decisions. Then he will get it but right now you just need to let him cool off. I know this is hard. With him getting married today but just be patience" Ebony replies.

Just then Jordan's phone rang as she looked down at the phone "It's Miche what's up yeah why just tell me WHAT ARE YOU SERIOUS NO THE WEDDING IS TOMORROW. SINCE WHEN UGH I JUST NEEDED A DAY TO GET THROUGH TO HIM WAIT WHAT.

EXCUSE YOU HAVE TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME ABSOLUTELY NOT NO. I'M ON MY WAY THAT IS MY SON I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE I HAVE TO GO thanks Michelle" Jordan said hanging up.

All the while Ebony watched "JoJo what happened" she asked as Jordan was up and moving toward the stairs "They are getting married today soon because of all the drama I can't , I can't. I have to talk to my son. I need to be there. I can't just do nothing.

And to top it off Tommy and that whore that fucked my husband is there" she spat. Going up the stairs as her sister went after her and grabbed her hand gently "And what are you going to do to crash his wedding make matters worse let CJ or dad talk to him.

Before you go straining the relationship with your son even more" Ebony says trying to calm her sister. Then calling her brother hoping he could talk to TJ into at least letting his mother be there. The moment she turned her back Jordan ran left in a hurry with her sister going after her.

Tavares House

"Looking sharp, Carmones but not better than me" Huedy says, patting him on the back and kissing Trina on the cheek. Cam chuckled "yeah right so what's going on there seems to be a lot more going on then I thought" he says. Huedy nodded "Indeed my small friend indeed because they are doing the wedding today instead of tomorrow" he replies.

Making Cam and Trina both look at him "are you serious why" Trina asked it made Huedy laugh. "Girl are you serious it's been drama after drama no offense to your friend Josslyn. But her momma crazy as fuck and her brother lucky he didn't get his ass kicked.

Because honestly I was waiting for Les, Starr or AJ to hook off on him giving me a reason to wash old boy. Since he was in my face because I put princess in her place" he says as Trina and Cam looked at each other. But didn't say anything "aww don't tell me you missed me big guy but you're not my type. Now that's besides the point I did do my research and what I found out is that.

Our friend here has been a busy boy as he sits here and judges right. I know you've been locked up. For assault ooh is that why you don't to be around other guys on the football team. Does it bring back memories of the big house" she says trying to get a rise out of him.

"Wow I must be really important to you to go through all the trouble but I've already told them about my arrest. And I didn't go to the big house princess. I was let go a few hours later but that's besides the point. You must really want me to bend you over because you jump through hoops to get a rise out of me.

See here's the thing I wouldn't even if they paid me to I wouldn't you are a spoiled, entitled brat that nobody put in your place. And that really grinds your gears because none of your bullshit phase me and guess what honey it's not.

So now that is out the way you can hop off my dick and go back to your regular bull shit you normally do" Huedy said. Without batting an eye when she went to slap him but he grabbed her hand "ugh as if I would ever please don't shit yourself you're not as charming as you think you are.

And quite frankly i don't think your dick is enough to do anything on and I'm sure that's why your ex broke up with you" she spat angrily all he did was smile. "Well I've never had any unhappy customers, not even my ex. She was very happy with the size of my platano. So was your roommate she left with a smile so I think I do okay so thank you for worrying about me" he responds.

As she glared at him "oh please she wouldn't give you the time day plus she and Tanner are practically engaged" Lila Rae said. Which only made him smile even more"If you say pumpkin anyway so they are getting hitched now" he responds.

When she shoves" YOU ARROGANT JERK HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME THAT WAY" she says hitting his chest. All the while he laughed just then both of his sisters came over as Reign grabbed her hand "Pon tus manos sobre mi hermano otra vez y "te romperé, me oyes' ' she says.

Looking her straight in the face as Lila Rae pulled away, that's when Michael came over "you just can't seem to leave her alone ''he said. Making Huedy roll his eyes``ay mi madre" Huedy responded "first off don't ever approach my little brother point blank period. And second ever posture your punk ass to him i'm gonna knock

you the fuck out on sight. I've had it up to here with your fake tough guy routine. My brother is 6'6 250 pounds and the kid would bury you. Then there is Elesandro who is 6'3 and 210 and you are running up on teenage boys for what exactly.

Because they are not kissing ass of these little girls what you think because your name is Michael Corinthos that means something. Trust me it's not so next to you time you wanna jump at somebody do us all a favor don't because you looking to get fucked up" Reya says.

"I don't hit women but your brother here needs to learn some respect. He's constantly in her face. Antagonizing her '' Michael shot back, "Umm Michael that's not true Lila Rae is upset because he doesn't cower.

To her he pretty much throws it right back at her and we all know how she hates not getting her way. With people most of the time he laughs it off and that makes her mad that's all it is'' Cameron says.

"Wow you at it again Mikey geeze dude lighten up" Morgan says coming over, "can we not do this anymore Rey Rey, Reign Molly needs you guys. Michael Lila Rae is a big girl and I know she's your cousin but maybe she should just be honest. She likes to create drama now. Can we get ready for my sister's wedding? Let's move people"Kristina says.

As everyone started to go their separate ways "Yo Camarones she so wants me to lay the pipe down" Huedy said as they walked away. Making Lila Rae stomp away angrily that he keeps getting the best of her.

Meanwhile on the patio after dragging Les outside "your cousin who's his father" Joss asked. Les shrugs "I don't know why is that even important" he says watching her pace back and forth.

"Because he looks like my older brother whose name happens to be Dante. Wait, how old is your cousin" she says. "I don't know if Joss my titi doesn't talk about it. I've never met the guy and he is 14. I don't think my Titi would pork any of your brothers ewwww" Elesandro said with a shiver.

Hitting him in the arm "stop being an ass you idiot Oh my god Dante is here with his wife" she said starting to panic. "Would you relax? I'm sure it's just a coincidence little momma" he says, "No Les you don't understand that's why your cousin looked so familiar. He has to be there, there is no other way to explain it I have to tell Lulu" Joss says.

Thinking about Lulu who was her cousin and her godmother and how she would feel when she found out. Because there was no denying that DJ was Dante's son just then Emelda was coming outside when he saw her. "Emelda, what are you doing here?" Dante asked.

"Mami I can't find my grey tie to go with my suit" DJ says coming out and stopping Lulu gasping. As Dante turned and looked at him then Emelda "He….He...he said mami is he your is he mines" the man stammered out. "Dante, who is she?" Lulu asked as she stared between the teen and her husband.

"It's in your suitcase with your socks", Emy says looking at Dante. When DJ looked at him "Mami she called him Dante" the teen said, "I know what she said baby I heard go get your tie please" she says.

"Mami, por favor, no me eches como a un niño, él es mi padre, ¿no?" DJ said, "papi go do what I said I will speak to you. Then go ahead I promise you I've never lied to you and I don't plan on starting" Emelda responded as the teen looked at her then Dante before leaving.

All the while Lulu stood in shock as Dante and Emelda stared at each other "Emy KK said if you're ready they want to start in 20 minutes" Kristina came over. That's when it hit her "HOLY SHIT HE'S DJ'S FATHER ISN'T HE" she says making both Dante and Lulu look at her then Emy.

"Emelda is he my son" Dante asked again, " I don't know Dante, maybe he's Xander's kid, what do you think Babosa?" she snapped back. Before walking away and heading inside the house when he went after grabbing her hand.

That she slapped away when he saw her eyes light up "Okay I deserve that alright I don't even have to ask. Because I can look at him and see that Emelda , so just talk to me" he said, "you want to talk now.

According to you I was fucking a gay guy and that's who knocked me up you what I'm not doing this I have a ceremony to do" she said walking away. Leaving him stumped as he rubs his face then turning to his wife who looked at him.

All Josslyn could do was stand there and stare before she saw Dante go after her. Meanwhile inside as TJ got ready for his wedding he heard a knock at the door. "Come in" TJ shouted loudly when his Uncle walked in"hey nephew can we talk"Chuckie asked.

As he steps over and helps TJ finishing tying his tie all the while TJ watched him suspiciously. " I got it uncle CJ but thanks" he says putting on his best then sitting down to put on his shoes. His uncle shook his head "look I'm gonna get straight to the point and talk to you man to man" the man said.

"Well please do because I'm not a little boy" the young man spoke, "just here me out look my mother died when I was fifteen years old. Jordan was 13 your aunts Ebony and Michelle were 9 and 3 years old. I remember it like it was yesterday coming home from my basketball ball game we had just won.

The semi-finals my school was heading to state she was so proud of me she told me so. She said I handle myself calmly when the ref had cheated me anyway it was my pops birthday. And she forgot his present in car trying to wrangle four kids and we preparing to movie to the new neighborhood.

So most of our things were packed up she went outside to get it while I was inside with my sister's. When I heard her scream and I ran out she was trying to was being attacked some kid. Who tried to steal her car I came outside to her being shoved into. To the ground her head hitting the fire hydrant and the kid took off in her car.

I screamed for Jordan to call 911 tell them we needed help officers Charles Johnson sr's wife was just attacked. But everything was a blur after things had happened so fast. Before you know it they were telling us she was brain dead there was nothing we could do.

She was gone just like that in a instant my mother was gone and the reason why I'm telling you this. Is because I wish she was there when I got married I had children when I graduated college. TJ she wasn't there for any of it do you know Miche barely remembers her.

Because she was so little she was three years old when grandma Betty Johnson died. Look nephew I understand your angry and you have every right to be but you're mother is here. And yes what she did was wrong but do you really want not want her here when you marry.

The woman you love more then anything because I tell you I would give anything to dance with my mother. Don't throw away that opportunity to do so because when she is gone. All you will have is a bunch of things you should have done. Moments y'all could have shared once this moment is gone it's gone.

TJ your mother could go to work and be killed you know that and you won't have a chance to say. To say anything all you'll have is regrets I get it your upset but just give her this moment. To watch her only child get married that women as wrong as she was.

In the matter she was always your biggest cheerleader besides Molly. I'm not asking you to forgive her I'm just asking you to not rob yourself or her of this moment" Charles Jr said leaving him alone.
