Previously on the King's Butterfly

Della: Is your patron gone?

Jose: He wont be back soon.

This is it! My little window just opened. This is my chance to escape.

Della: Jose, my dear, you are my cup of tea.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back home

Venus: She's been kidnapped.

Diana: Again? Oh, no! What do we do?

Venus: Wait?

Diana: What do you know?

Venus: Not much, they don't talk about it. I just hope Dad will bring her home and unharmed soon.

Diana: I can ask my brother to look for her. He's very good at finding people.

Mom: We don't need your family's help.

"Gee. This woman terrifies me. She's the devil!" Diana thought.

Diana: Good morning, Madam.

Mom: Thanks for the visit, dear. Now, please excuse us.

Venus: She just got here, Mom! Please, Mom, Di wont talk.

Mom: What did I tell you? You cant trust anyone!

Diana: With all due respect, Madam, I'm not just anyone. My family can help you.

Mom: If someone finds out that Della was kidnapped, they will kill her. You cant tell your family!

Diana: My family is goof at keeping secrets, my brother is an ex-military captain, please think about it.

Mom: Stop! If you tell your family then you'll be the one responsible for Della's death.

Venus: MOM!!

Diana: Alright, but if she doesn't come back then you'll be the one responsible for refusing our help.

Venus: DIANA!

Diana storms out.

Mom: I told you she isn't welcome under this roof.

Venus: She's our bestfriend, Mom.

Mom: I don't want to see her again!

'Ugh, she's driving me nuts' Venus thought.

Venus got a text messages from Dean, her boyfriend.

Dean:

Hey, what's up?

Venus:

Family drama.

Dean:

Sneak out, meet me at our spot.

Venus:

I could get in trouble, Dean.

Dean:

I'll make it worth the hassle.

Venus:

You better!

Finn (Baby brother): Where is Della? I cant find her.

Venus: Finn, Della is umm...

Finn: Della?

Venus' thoughts

Due to his mental illness, our brother is very sensitive. He finds it hard to communicate and interact with other people other than Della. He find thing like bright lights or loud noises overwhelming, stressful or uncomfortable. He gets anxious or upset about unfamiliar situations. He's only comfortable around Della. What do I say to him? Where is that brat when I need her?!

Venus: Finn, Della went on a school trip. She's coming back in a month.

Finn: Without telling me?

Venus: I'm sorry, Finn, she didn't want to upset you. FINN! FINN! Please get out of the closer, she's going to be back very soon. Finn, please. Ugh!

Mom: What's the matter? What did you say to him?

Venus: Stop yelling! He asked about Della.

Finn: She left me, she left without me. She's not coming back! She's not coming back!!

Mom: She's at Grandma's, Finn.

Venus: I told him she's on a school trip.

Mom: Whatever. Let him stay there until his crisis passes.

Venus: MOM!!

She doesn't care about anyone but her damn self.

Jose: Miss Della Dior Royal, I'm Jose De Santo at your service. What do you like to do for the day?

Della: Is your patron gone?

Jose: He wont be back soon.

This is it! My little window just opened. This is my chance to escape.

Della: Jose, my dear, you are my cup of tea.

I see the look on his face. Two can play at his game.

Della: I like your hair, it looks amazing on you.

Jose: Me gusta tu estilo. Te ves preciosa. (I like your style. You look beautiful.)

Della: I'm your boss' prisoner.

Jose: That doesn't make you his girl.

Della: Gee, you want me to puke all over your belt buckle?

Jose: You've made no secret about how much you hate him.

Della: What do you mean?

Jose: His left eye was purple this morning.

Della: Oops. Does it look bad?

Jose: Pretty bad, yeah.

Della: Good. Believe me, I was a real gentle girl.

Jose: So, tesoro, what do you like to do?

Della: Can we go to the garden? I'm suffocating inside.

Jose: El Patron...

Della: He's not here, is he? I wont tell him, why should you? Please, Jose, I need some fresh air. Kaden wont let me out of his house, you are my only hope.

'Hell, she's hot. I cant say no to her.' Jose thought.

Jose: Ten minutes wont hurt anyone, right precious?

Della: Exactly, I'll be in my best behavior. You're cuffing me?

Jose: No, unless you're naked and ready to give me a private show.

Della: You're a player.

Jose: Same as my brother. We change women as much as you change clothes.

Della: Mm... I'm sure none of them forget you.

Jose: I'm in big trouble.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the garden.

Mm, this is nice. While he's busy scanning my body, my eyes search for an escape. Come on, Del, you can do it. You need to escape from here.

There! A horse! Thank you, God!!

Della: Aww, I love horses.

Jose: Wait! Stop running!

Della: Sorry, I got excited when I saw the horse. Can I ride him?

Jose: Do you know how to ride a horse? Of course, you do.

Della: I miss my horse, my beautiful horse.

One more reason to escape this place! Finn loves it when we go to our county house and..... FINN! He must be so scared without me! Hold on, little brother, I will escape today and come home to you! Come on asshole, let me ride the horse!

Della: Just ten minutes, pretty please.

Jose: I'm watching you!

He is easy to manipulate! Bless him.

Della: Hey, pretty thing. You are very beautiful. Are they treating you well? Shh, I'm not going to hurt you. Can you please help me escape this place? I need your help. Good boy.

'Kaden will be so pissed that she's riding his horse. Fuck, why did I let her touch him?' Jose thought.

Its now or never, Della! I started riding the horse around Jose to keep him calm before I ran away with Phil? No, not a good name. Axel? Still no. I'll think of a good name. I turned to see Jose looking mortified. Haha, he looks funny.

Della: Ciao!

I said while blowing him a kiss.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With Kaden. At the warehouse:

Man 1: Boss is here!

Man 2: Fuck!

Man 1: His old man was a madman but his son is a demon! You do the talking!

Man 2: What? No! Come on, man! I have a family!

Man 1: I just got married!

Kaden walks in.

Kaden: Three shipments were expected from America but only two arrived.

Man 2: The police arrested our men.

Kaden: The police, eh?

Man 2: Sir, we couldn't do anything, someone must have spoken.

Kaden: Since when do I have to worry about police officers?

Man 1: You don't have to worry, it wont happen again.

Kaden: That I'm sure of. Take them.

Man 2: Sir, please!

Man 1: It wasn't our doing! I paid everyone as you told me.

Kaden: Yet you failed. You are dismissed!

Dean: Jefe, a phone call for you.

On the phone

Caleb: I see you received my welcome gift.

Kaden: Indeed, the only problem is that I don't like to be surprised.

Caleb: You think you own everyone. The police, the government, the senate, even the local mafia gangs, but you're wrong. You think you're very smart yet one of your shipments is missing. I took a few millions of yours quite easily! Ready yourself, I'm going to take you down as well!

Kaden: See, old friend, nobody can take me down. I didn't rise up to go down without a good fight. Now, you are about to receive my present. I'm always ten moves ahead of my enemies. Say hello to my father once you meet him.

Over the phone, Kaden could here the gunshots and laughed evilly.

Kaden: Puta!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back home

Venus: Hi!

Dean: You made it.

Dean said pulling Venus into a kiss.

Dean: And I brought flowers. I missed you.

Venus: I missed you too. Dean, I cant stay long. Melvin is waiting for me.

Dean: Did you bribe him?

Venus: 700 pounds, for thirty minutes.

Dean: Greedy man. Baby, come here.

Venus: Why don't you come to school anymore?

Dean: I got a job.

Venus: What kind of job?

Dean: I'm a delivery man.

Venus: Dean?

Dean: I'm serious. My boss is good to me.

Venus: I'm worried about you.

Dean: Don't worry about me, we'll move in together as I promised.

He kissed her again.

Dean: I'm taking care of it, babe.

Venus: Don't get into anything illegal, come back to school.

Dean: I will.

Venus: Promise me?

Dean: I promise.

Melvin: Miss, time is up.

Venus: Ugh!

Dean: Go with him, I'll find a way to see you later.

Venus: I love you.

Dean: I love you too.

Venus got in the car with Melvin.

Melvin: He's going to bring you trouble, Miss.

Venus: Mind your own business, Melvin.

Melvin: Miss.....

Venus: Just take me home.

Melvin: Don't let your mother find out.

Venus: Are you going to tell her?

Melvin just sighs and drives.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back with Della

Jose: I give her a ten seconds head start. One...Two...Three....Four....Five.....Six....Seven....Eight....Nine.....Ten... Brother, she escaped.
