"Ouch!!! Here I am so ecstatic to see my family especially my beloved daughter, but you are saying that I am kidnapping you? Is that a way to speak to your father?" Don Emilio acted so hurt. Lorraine saw that he really believe in what he said.probably with so many lies he said he himself believe in his own words. He doesn't even recognize that what he believe is not true."Don Emilio please let me out..." She beg not for herself but for her child. She feared that she would be taken by the Don to be detained somewhere."Okay, but there is one thing that I want to know. Where is my wife?"

But since the expression on Lorraine didn't change Mateo feared that he had blew it all up."Are you telling the truth 'case one call only I can confirm if you're telling the truth? Because it sounds so weard that it took so many days for her to realized that she took the wrong suitcase.""Yes!
