Gabby wraps her arms around her husband as she stares at his face while he runs his hands over her back, she winces before she turns her head around before Ricardo pulls her head towards him and kisses on her lips.
"She seems furious" she whispers as they can clearly hearing the shouting on going.
"Dad is lucky she is high up in the air and out of her reach" Ricardo chuckles before sighing as he gets up.
"Be right back" he smiles as he lets her go in search of his mother.
"I do not care for your reasons, I want a divorce and I am keeping all the kids. No, I am not going to calm down...
I have spent decades with you and still I could never truly know you... She is my daughter as well, I had the right to have a say, Richmond Russo" she shouts breathing heavily before she jumps a bit when Ricardo wraps his arms around her, and she holds onto his arm.
"You did wrong, you did so many wrongs to me" she cries holding on to her son.
Ricardo pulls the phone away from her and cuts the line as she sobs in his arms.
"Why does he always have to be the righteous while being so wrong to me?" she asks as she stares at her son who smiles as he wipes her tears.
"You won't understand his reasons" he whispers.
"I don't understand that man, our daughter...I could not even get to take her in my arms before she was gone...
For all these years, not once did he let me know, how can he be so cold and cruel"
"She is safe mom and..."
"No amount of protection will make her as safe as being with her family, I cannot even imagine what she must have suffered in that house...
With them" she cries, and Ricardo speaks of nothing as he holds her in his arms.

"You put it this way" Lilac smiles as she shows Leah how to make the bouquet.
"Well I am not so good with flower, but I can bake" Leah states making Lilac smiles.
"Really, would you teach me?" she asks, and Leah nods her head as they pick few more flowers.
"Hey you," Mark's voice startles Lilac as she gets up at once dropping the flowers.
"Send someone to clean my room" he commands, and she nods her head as she stands.
"She is helping me around" Leah speaks, and Mark narrows his eyes at her before he glances at Lilac.
"Actually, you clean my room" he orders as he walks away and Lilac peeks at Leah before she excuses herself and Leah sighs.
"Bloody woman, who the fuck does she thinks she is" Mark curses as he opens his room's door while Lilac follows him.
"What the fuck are you doing standing there, get on it" he shouts, and she hurries to open the curtains of the room before she goes to pull the cover off the bed but gasps as her eyes lands on the naked body lying on it, so she puts the covers back on her.
"Kick her out" he orders as he walks towards the table.
"Umm" Lilac slowly walks around the bed and glances at Mark once before she pokes the woman in the bed.
"Even a dead cat won't move with that, shake her hard" he snaps, and she jumps as she tries to wake the woman before yelping as the woman slaps her hands away and turns around showing her naked back and Lilac turns away.
"What are you shying about, have not you been naked one too many times for Liam? Or are you blushing remembering being naked for him" Mark grins as he sits on the chair as he folds his legs and checks her out.
"I...I..." she shuffles.
"You...you...what?" he laughs as he gets up and makes his way towards her.
"Umm. I...I will send someone to clean" she whispers as she looks down on the floor walking away from him.
"Did I ask you to do so?" he asks as he keeps walking closer to her.
"Baby" the woman in the bed moans as she wakes up stretching her body and Mark grins seeing her naked body.
"Excuse me" Lilac whispers as she runs out of the room and just as she takes a turn, she collapses on to someone.
*******
"I am sorry" she apologizes closing her eyes as her whole-body shakes with fear.
"Why are you?" Liam wraps his arms around her and pulls her closer to him as he stares at her flushed face before eyeing the way she ran from and his eyes narrows as he sees a smirking Mark standing on the door.
"Did you not teach her to enjoy seeing someone naked?" he laughs, and Liam's eyes turns into silt as he pulls Lilac behind his back before he makes his way towards Mark.
"What did you just say?" he asks.
"Go ask someone to come clean up" Mark orders Lilac and Liam's punch greets him.
"Fuck" Mark stumbles back into his room before Liam slams the door close and Lilac stands on the hall as she hears few more curses and the woman's scream as something crashes before Liam walks out of the room.
"Come on" he holds her hand as he pulls her towards their room while Lilac turns back to stare at the door.
Opening the door, Liam pulls Lilac in before his eyes roams around the room.
"Where are my Lilac's?" he asks as he finds the vase empty.
"I was plucking it when..." she stops, and Liam holds her chin turning her head left to right checking her.
"Why were you in his room?" he questions as he grabs her arms and checks it.
"He asked me to clean"
"Did he touch you?" he questions, and Lilac shakes his head no.
"Are you his?" he asks, and she shakes her head no.
"Are you a cleaner?" he adds, and she shakes her head no.
"Then why were you in his room?" he repeats.
"Because he asked..."
"So, next time her asks you to leave me you will?" he questions, and she shakes her head vigorously.
"Is that what you want being asked around and doing everything anyone asks you of?"
"No, but he scares me"
"Why? Has he done anything to scare you?" he questions, and she grabs his hand.
"Have I not assured you that except my mother, no one can order you around and you will not do anything anyone says to you" he demands making her glance his way.
"Yes"
"So?" he asks.
"Please don't be angry" she whispers before he just stares at her bowed head.
"Where are the flowers?" he asks, and she whispers where she left.
*******
"Who mixed my Lilac with others?" Liam demands as he grabs the flower and Lilac hurries to untie it.
"It must be by..."
"Were you with someone?" he asks, and she nods her head before informing him that Leah joined her.
"I don't like people touching my Lilac" he grumbles as he sits down on the bench and she starts to collect the flower for the vase.
"You left in a hurry today, is everything okay?" she asks as she stares at him while picking up fresh pair of flowers for their room.
"Yeah some business" he sighs as he pulls out his phone and checks on his messages.
"I like Leah, she promised to teach me how to bake" she informs as he gets busy with his phone.
"All done" Lilac smiles as she shows him the bouquet and he hum before patting to seat her next to him and she does.
Liam shifts before he lies on the bench with his head on her lap and types on his phone.
"It must be really weird to leave her home and come stay here, can I go visit her at her house sometimes?" she asks as she plays with his hair.
"Yeah" he mumbles narrowing his eyes as he scrolls through his phone.
"Your mother was talking about Laura's marriage, has she talked with you about it?" she asks, and he frowns before types away.
"I really enjoyed Leon's wedding all the lights and dancing, and the cake it was so yummy. Leah looked so beautiful on her gown and..."
"Liam" Flora's voice makes Lilac jump as she gets up at once and Liam groans as his head hits on the bench.
"Oops" Flora laughs as she watches her son's annoyed face.
"Did I ask you to move?" he glares at Lilac as he raises his head and just lie there.
"Stubborn as bull" Flora sighs as she pushes Lilac on the bench before Liam puts his head on her lap and puts his phone away.
"Why are you not at office like all your brothers?" Flora asks as she pinches Liam's nose and he wraps his arms around her waist before getting up.
"I came back to take some files"
"And?"
"And now I am resting" he grins.
"Lilac don't spoil him" Flora states as she pats on her son's face.
"He has been spoilt enough by my hands" she smiles.
"What are you up to?" he asks her and Flora grins.
"I am meeting an old friend"
"Who?"
"And I was thinking to take Lilac with me, what do you say?" she asks, and he frowns.
"Do I know this friend of yours?" he asks.
"No but you will, soon"
"Then you cannot take Lilac, take Leah" he finalizes.
"What but" Flora huffs.
"Let's not argue mom" Liam chuckles as he grabs the flowers and hands Lilac.
"I am Switzerland" she grumbles.
"And it's cold there, bye" Liam kisses on her cheek as he walks away.
"We need to talk, Liam" she shouts at the boy and he sighs.
"No mom, Lilac is not accompanying you"
"But the woman I am meeting is Lilac's mother" Flora drops the bomb just like that and the flowers drop from Lilac's hand while Liam's eyes narrows at his mother.
"So?" Flora braces herself.
"No" Liam growls as all playfulness leaves his body and he grab Lilac's hand before turning to walk away as he steps on the flowers and leaves.
*******
Ricardo slowly closes the door as he walks out of the room before making his way towards his, he smiles when Gabby turns around to face him.
"Is she okay?" she asks making his way towards her before pushing his jacket off his body.
"She will be fine" he sighs before picking her up in his arms and throwing her on the bed.
"Rare" Gabby laughs when he pushes the bags on the floor and gets on top of her.
"We should not" she grins even if she lets him kiss her.
"Feelings are mutual, baby" he grins as he groans and lets his body go limp on top of her.
"Why are we here though?" she asks as she runs her hand through his hair.
"There is a party held and mom need to be there"
"What?" she asks in confusion before his phone starts to ring and Gabby pats on the bag of his pants before pulling it out.
"It's Paige" he groans before he moves away from Gabby.
"Hey" he picks up the call and listen rubbing his face before a loud sigh leaves him.
"Thanks" he cuts the line before turning to face Gabby and kissing on her lips.
"Paige is not allowed to be in the party" he informs.
"Why?"
"Something about an asshole being his usual self" he groans before grabbing the back of Gabby head and deepening the kiss.
"I cannot get enough of you" he confesses.
*******
"And we are doing now, why?" Lucero asks his wife as he paces back and forth in the room.
"Because it's the right time" Flora states while Lucero glares at his wife.
"Why did you not reveal this part in all these years?" Lucas asks his mother.
"Because it was not the right time"
"Do you want Liam to finally go batshit crazy?" Lance asks his mother as he too gets up and stands behind his seat grabbing the back of it.
"Craziness is good"
"Oh Lord, tell me about it as I have never met any woman as crazy as your mother" Lucero shouts as he throws his hands up in the air.
"Listen, Lilac deserves to know that she has a family and she needs to see them"
"After all these years, mother?" Lucas sighs.
"Well, we will wait on Leon to discuss on this matter" she folds her arms not wanting to talk.
"Oh, because he always does your bidding" Lucas throws his hands up in the air.
"No, because he is a very honest man and..."
"Mother, he listens to you always" Lance interrupts her.
"Well, then you should learn something from him, he sees the truth" she smiles.
"I am back, what was the family emergency?" Lorenzo states as soon as he enters the room.
"Oh, he is just as bad as Leon" Lucas groans as Lorenzo walks up to his mother and kisses on her forehead.
"What did you do?" Lorenzo chuckles as he kisses her hands next and sit with his arms around her.
"Don't, don't do that, you spoil her enough" Lucero sighs as he sits down.
"I am here" Leon walks in the room and goes straight to his mother and nods at Lorenzo.
"Great, and the tug of war begins" Lance announces.
*******
"Your mom is right next door" Gabby gasps as Ricardo kisses on her stomach and licks her skin.
"Then don't make any sound" he groans as he puts his hand under her skirt.
"Not when you...oh" she moans thrashing on the bed as Ricardo pulls her underwear down.
"Break...I need a break" Gabby breaths heavily as she grabs onto Ricardo hair and he moves up kissing on her lips.
"I love you" he grins as he pulls himself out and Gabby hits on the bed as she feels him rub on her.
"I cannot..." Gabby's eyes roll at the pleasure and Ricardo holds her on place as he starts to move rubbing himself on her heat.
"Look at me" he whispers, and she shakes her head no grabbing onto his shoulder.
"Come on, look at me" he moans as he humps her, and she digs her nails on him as her eyes meets his.
"Feel me" he whispers as he puts his forehead on her.
"It's...it's"
"I know, just feel and nothing more" he whispers as he pulls her legs around him and Gabby nods her head.
"I want babies with you, lots of them" he smiles staring at her face.
"We have not even done it and you...oh God you want babies" she breaths.
"Tell me when you are cumming" he smiles, and she grabs his face kissing on his lips.
*******
"That was amazing" Gabby grins as she touches Ricardo's face.
"Is it?" Ricardo teases and she nods her head before closing her eyes slowly.
Ricardo smiles as he watches Gabby falling asleep before he gets off her and pulls his t-shirt off his body. Pulling her t-shirt and skirt in place Ricardo walks towards the bathroom.
Cleaning Gabby, he slowly moves her on the bed before pulling her cloths off her body, he smiles when she mumbles something in her sleep as he pulls one of his shirts to cover her.
"Sleep tight" he whispers kisses on her temple as he pulls the cover on her before taking out some clothes, he makes his way to the bathroom to shower.
Ricardo rubs the towel on his hair walking out of the shower, he checks on the sleeping form of his wife before walking to get his phone.
A light knock on his door makes him frown so putting the phone down he walks to open the door and to his surprise, he finds Richard standing there with a smile on his face.
