When they got there Sam was in awe " your dad rented this bitching" Sam said, you should totally see the pool Sammy Elena says. Or the boat it's it's heaven on water heaven Emy added as they mad there way To the house.

Kristina watched her niece with her friends thinking Alexis and Stefan mad the right choice by Sam. She could tell Sam was relaxed around these people not as tightly wound up as she is with her own family.

And she could check out this boy that Sonny says her saw her kissing and the boy Alexis and Stefan are suspicious about. As she watched the kids bolt from the car when they made their way to the house.

Esmeralda welcomed them in wrapping her arms around Sam when she saw her hugging and and kissing her as her friends laughed. She made attempted to get the others but they ran away, Mrs. Esmeralda this is my aunt Kristina.

Hello it's nice to meet Esmeralda said shaking her hand likewise I heard you took very good care off my niece thank you for that happy she had someone looking out for her Kristina said.

It was a pleasure Esmeralda said with a smile when the boys came down the stairs " Mira ven ca" she said calling the boys. This is Sam's Tia Kristina the boys all waved, this is my son Manolo Jr, these two are my nephews Santiago and Kelby. The other one is my daughter's boyfriend Orlando and my niece Karina's husband Calvin.

Nice to meet you all Kristina said hi auntie K.K said jokingly as Sam pushed him taking his hat. She watched all of them greet Sam but her eyes were on Oliver, it was something in the way they hugged made her know they liked each other.

She wasn't sure if they acted on it yet but it was pretty obvious watching them pretend to not be interested in each other Kristina thought to herself.

Kristina hated being having to be the spy she wanted Sam to trust her willingly and she remembered what it was like being young. As she watched the kids were showing Sam around, Florio sat beside her" so what do you think good kids or no" he asked.

When she looked up into his dark brown eyes and tanned skin and well toned chest umm she shifted. " Well they seem like really good kids" she said as she found herself staring he was good looking for an older man.

Stefan closed the door to the study anything on either of them he asked, No Mr. Cassadine Florio De La Rosa came here in 1963. He joined the air force at 18 years old he supported his mother and younger sister father died.

He worked on the docks most of his career until his brother in law Manolo Tavares Sr. Won a settlement in the wrongful death suit of his brother Fernando Tavares 1972 .

Manolo Tavares Sr. Came here in 1968 with the brother that died all of the trouble he got into was after his brother died. He enlisted in the marines at 18 as well he got the settlement in May of 1979.

With the help of attorney John Roberto Molinario and he got a Hell of a check which he used to by several dock properties. Where have i heard that name from Stefan said, J.R Molinario was a mob lawyer back in the day was what the rumor was Costos finishes.

Was there any truth to it Stefan asked, well he was the same lawyer to get Manolo Tavares Sr. Released when he was caught selling fake id's when he was sixteen. Nothing concrete but he took the whatever clients he had no qualms about taking dirty money I'm sure.

But besides that no records of any kind, what about there connection to Samantha Stefan asked. It checks out Mr. Cassadine if they are criminals they must be really good at hiding it. They both have three children a piece they're really the only family each has.

Manolo Tavares has one living sister that lives inn the Dominican republic Costos says, what does that mean Stefan says. When he was a child local police killed his parents and older siblings from what was told to our associates.

Is that it was a public massacre some of his sister's were killed running away from shooting. They burned the family restaurant too the ground to cover up the killing. It's said one of the older sisters got away but they said she never came back to the village.

But when I say I looked through the old photos from Samantha's old apartment they were most likely her saving grace. Because Cody used to beat her bad it seemingly stop at around fourteen when Manolo Tavares Jr beat him with a bat.

Tell me about Junior Stefan says Costos paused all three of there kids are gifted intellectually Junior is no different. He is pretty clean cut he doesn't have a criminal record he joined the navy at 18. He graduated from Harvard business school with a 4.5 g.p.a.

From what was said about him by many is he's Samantha 's protector it wasn't the first time he gave Cody McCall a beat down. He has on three separate occasions and once with his older Santiago Dela Rosa and the two almost killed him Costos says.

What made the two of them beat him so bad Stefan asked, well Mr. McCall 's lady friend said they walked in on him beating up Samantha bad. From what she says that he accused Samantha of stealing from him when in fact he blew the money.

He was angry that she fought back she said Sam normally took the hits but this time was different. She says it's like Samantha was tired of it Costos finishes, and she just stood there while he beat a younger girl who is probably no bigger then 5'3 and 100 pounds Stefan said.

She is the one who let them into the apartment after he refused to let Samantha leave without giving him his money Costos says. I am glad he is dead because I would have to killing him again Stefan spat angrily.
