It's been a week since Patricia was taken Santiago Valnezuela. She hasn't seen the light of the sun or breathe fresh air since then. Why is Santiago keeping her alive? Why did he take her in the fist place? Patricia still can't figure out why. She also realized that there is no way for to escape, unless they will let her out.
It's like waiting for her execution while sitting inside her cell. Then, the most shocking turn of event happened. One of Santiago's men brought her food.
"Time to eat." Patricia's eyebrow creased when she heard the voice of the man. Her head was down as she was trying to think of another was to escape. The man's voice was familiar, so she slowly raised her head. That's when she saw his face.
-End of Flashback-
Felix was the one who brought her food, and not only that. He slipped the key to her cell. Patricia didn't waste any precious time. After being held captive for a week, she already memorized the hours t

When she learned that Bridgette is giving birth in a hospital in Raleigh, North Carolina, she just decided to come and see her. She even had an appointment with one of her customers that she had to cancel. She lost two thousand dollars that day. "Hey, beautiful. How are you today?" Levi asked after placing a plate of tortillas in front of her. They've been going out together for a while, and they seem to enjoy each other's companies. Meeting Levi in New Mexico, of all places, is an a

It's true, intelligence comes naturally to the women of the Zaragoza bloodline. They are quick to think of plans, even in the most complicated situation. Whenever someone in their family is in danger, they worry about men more than women. Because they know that women can survive, that the willingness to do anything to survive is always born with the women in their family. It is the same reason why Violet is not worried when Patricia got taken by Santiago. She knew that her daughter has the capacity to survive long enough to be rescued, or until a window of opportunity comes. Even though they haven't seen each other for a very long time, she knew that Patricia can survive, even without help. "Why isn't she home yet? Are you sure Felix got her out?" Franklin asked. Gonzalo told them that Patricia called him. They've been waiting for two days, but they haven't heard from her. He's starting to worry about his daughter and he hates not doing anything. Franklin is used to

Gonzalo is still waiting for the news that Patricia has come home safe. He wanted to rush to Jericho and confirm if she's okay, and it's taking every once of self-control he got not to get in his car. Violet told him to say in New York, and not to do anything. It goes against everything that he believes in. His whole body is yearning for her presence. The sweet touch of her flawless skin, the sound of her voice in his ears. Everyday that he is with her is like a slice of heaven on earth. "Gonzalo, what do we know about Patricia? What did the Maxfords told you." Darryl asked while they are having a meeting about what happended to one of their allies. The Los Diablos, a Mexican crime group, that joined them five years ago was massacred. Darryl and their men were all furious about it, but Gonzalo remained calm. "They told me not to anything. The attack on Los Diablos is a diversion from my father. Violet already told everything she knows about my father's plan.

Gonzalo's POV -Flashback- I can feel the pain in every part of my body. Damn! Who would have thought that I would survive an eighteen-hour hunt? Especially, when I am the one being hunted. My father's men doesn't care if I'm only sixteen years old, or if it's coldest night of the season. I had to run, hide, and kill my way to survive. "F*ck!" A tear slipped from my eye because of the stabbing pain that I felt. It was my left shoulder, the one that hit on a tree when one of them almost caught. He mercilessly threw me into a large oak tree, and if I didn't bite my tongue, I would have passed out. I already lost count of how many years that I've been forcing myself to survive all these ridiculous trainings that my father wanted me to go through. Boys my age are busy with their crush, their acne, and all those stupid stuff that teenagers do. But, not me. My priority is master all the skills that my father wanted me to learn.

There's something going and Santiago can feel it. He thought that he already decimated the Los Diablos, but according to his men on the field, there's been some activities connected to the Los Diablos. He wanted to think that it's impossible, but there's something inside him that it's not. That's why he ordered his men to investigate. One thing he doesn't like is surprises. It makes him uncomfortable, and violent. Knowing everything that's happening around him it one of his aces. No one can surprise him, or do a sneak attack on him. For a month, he thought that he's slowly taking over New York. Now, he's not so sure anymore. "Mr. Valenzuela, none of the New York gang leaders agreed with your offer. They said that your offer is outrageous and stupid." One of his men stated on their weekly scheduled meeting. "Hmmm, is that so? Something is going on. I don't like this. Does anyone have anything good to report?" Santiago asked angrily. He's starting to get frustr
A Broken Butterfly Chapter 113
The beginning of an all-out war between the Maxfords and Gonzalo, against Santiago Valenzuela. As soon as Patricia arrived home, she immediately told them about her plans. Franklin overly disagreed with her plan, in fact his reaction was violent. He doesn't want his daughter to be involved in anything that could put his daughter in harm's way. What shocked Patricia is that both her mother, and her Uncle Alexander agreed. Her father's reaction was more than just surprised. He was furious that they spoke up against him. Alexander having a different perspective is not new to him. But, his wife standing up against him is another story. "This is ridiculous! You don't know how dangerous Santiago Valenzuela is. And you, the two of you. Are you really just going to agree with all this? Don't you even care about her safety?" Franklin kept complaining. "Franklin, you're daughter is a grown woman. She can make her own decisions. She's not a six-yea-old girl that needs y
A Broken Butterfly Chapter 114
In just two weeks, Santiago lost one-third of his allies and they didn't explain themselves. Threats of violence, and violence no longer rattle thems. They even dared him to attack them. He is angry as much as he is surprised. Since he started with the violent life of a crime boss, he never once faced someone who would defy him. He was used to people being afraid with the thought of death. He knows how to utilize fear, weak points, and blind spots. That's how he succeeded for a very long time. Facing this kind of situation is an atrocity for him. Something that he never had a back up plan for this, and it's driving him off the rails. "How hard is it for anyone to find out what is happening? Hmmm? There's a hundred of you, and no one, not a single out of you can find out how those bastards get their balls! You are all useless piece of shits!" Santiago left his men angrier than ever. He cannot believe that he's plans are somehow backfiring. His narcissistic att

A Broken Butterfly Chapter 132
Early in the morning, one of Gonzalo's servants knock on their bedroom door. There was a delivery dropped off at the gate addressed to Gonzalo's name. It was a sealed long wooden box, only larger than a coffin by one or two inches. Nobody touched it yet, because they were all waiting for the two bosses to come down. A putrid smell is coming out from the box, and all of them are too familiar in such smell. The moment Gonzalo and Patricia came down to the living room, they immediately gave the order to open the wooden box. And, no matter how strong their stomachs are, seeing what was the content of the box rattled them. "Oh, God! That's Benson." One of their men exclaimed. "I'm going to skin those bastard alive!" Another one yelled out of anger. "Calm down, boys. This is a good thing. He is running on blind rage, and his tripping. A rabid animal is easier to hunt because they don't have strategy anymore. They are working on rage." "Does that mea

-Flashback-What does being a father means? Is it providing everything that your family needs? Or maybe giving them a home that can call their own? Perhaps, loving them is enough? But, is it right that a father was a son first? With a mother who loved him more than anyone in this world?

However, there unforeseen events that occurred, and one sassy response led to insults, until the first shot was fired. Bloodshed was indeed unavoidable."Oh, my God! Are you okay?""It's not my blood. I'm fine, babe.""Thank God."Deborah hugged Gilbert after ensuring that he wasn't hurt. The moment that her heartbeat turned to normal, she remembered her surprised.
