Della
Victoria: Honey, the driver is downstairs. It is time for you to go.
Why do I feel like something is not right?
Della: I am ready.
Victoria: I'm not saying goodbye.
Della: Because?
Victoria: I will see you again. What's been going on between the two of you is not finished yet.
Della: I beg to differ.
Victoria: You know I am right. He didn't get his brother out of prison and your father is still in England. He's letting you go because he knows you will keep your word, but is that all?
Della: Yes. I know I can convince Dad to go back to Spain.
Victoria: Mr. Kaden bought an apartment under your name. It's out of his protection zone. That means he will not follow you around.
Della: I'm not taking anything from him, yet I will help him.
Victoria: I don't understand.

Past...
Grams: Della, my dear. I was not expecting you to come see me.
Della: I had no choice. My mother and I aren't on the same page. She refuses to send Finn to school.
Grams: Come, let's chat over a cup of tea.
Della: Can I sleep over tonight?
Grams: Of course, dear. You are always welcome here.
Della: Why are you nice to me?
Grams: Someone has to be, right?
Della: To show kindness towards me? Oh, man.
Grams: Della, why are you working when you do not have to lift a finger?
Della: Right. When I thought I could have a peaceful night, you start with the questions.
Grams: Is it because of Finn?
Della: Yes. I want to earn money so we can move out of my parents house.
Grams: I want you to continue working.
Della: Gee! I thought you would offer me money, not send me to work.
Grams: Actually, I am.
Della: I do not follow.
Grams: When you turn twenty-one, I am thinking of putting all my properties in your name.
Della: Are you sick?
Grams: I don't want your parents to suspect anything yet, that is why you need to keep on working as you are not aware of my intentions. I thought for a long time about passing my money and properties in your name. The decision has been made, I'm not going to change my mind.
Della: Because?
Grams: Because once your mother gets my properties, she will trade everything or invest in her benefits.
Della: Why do you care? It's not like you can take anything with you in the afterlife.
Grams: Your grandfather wished you to get everything.
Della: My mother will die hearing the news. She will come right after me. She is all about the money, I don't need more trouble than I already have. Thanks, but no thanks.
Grams: She won't pay your bills once you are out of their house.
Della: Can we move in with you until I finish school?
Grams: Yes, but only if you agree to take everything in your name.
Della: It would wreck my life. My mother won't stop until she gets the money back.
Grams: Yet you can have freedom. I will deal with your mother as long as I can. Your father can help us too if we speak with him.
Della: No. She is not easy to deal with. My Dad will end up taking her side because she knows how to get her way. I will keep on working after school, do what I can until I've got enough money to move out. I don't need your help or anyone's help. You should help me out without setting a huge responsibility on my shoulders. You should help me take care of Finn without starting a war. You are all sick, and I'm not interested in becoming money hungry just to serve your own benefits.

Present...
Della: I intend to inherit my grandma's wealth when I turn twenty-one. I will have enough money to take care of Finn for several lifetimes.
Victoria: What! I was not expecting you to...
Della: The reason why I am telling you this is because you told Kaden not to kill me the first time we met. My family is powerful too. We wash our problems within the family.
Victoria: Did you lie all along?
Della: Not really. I was planning to accept Kaden's offer. A few days ago, I wasn't considering taking over my grandma's wealth. What Kaden had to offer was a nice way out. Too bad, I changed my mind.
Victoria: Why did you change your mind?
Della: Because he left without saying goodbye. When things got real, he took the easy way. Taking his offer in consideration was the easiest way to deal with my problems. Yet, I am stronger than he thinks. If taking over my grandma' heritage will complicate my life, then so be it.
Victoria: You know I can tell Mr. Kaden about your plan.
Della: Do as you wish. I am ready to go.
Victoria: He fell in love with you.
Della: He is incapable of loving someone.
Victoria: Are you speaking of him or of yourself?
The way back to the house feels strange. This whole situation is a mess. Why do I keep wanting to help Kaden when I for sure as hell am turning his offer down? Oh, because I want Dad to go back to Spain. Once he is there, my mother will be left alone. Her power will die a little. She will not have his full support, she won't be focused on me, or Finn for a while. Then I can enroll Finn to a school and get a glad of my new life. At least for a while. I will fight for Finn, even if I am going to ruin my life little by little.
Kaden's face comes out of nowhere. Why do I still think of him? Why can't I close the door, let him out in the cold and move on? I already got too much to handle. Yet, even if Kaden is not present, I can feel his body right over me. Man, I need to see a doctor.

Diana: Della left your house?
Jose: Yes.
Diana: Is she okay?
Jose: My brother is not stupid, something is going on.
Diana: What do we do?
Jose: Kaden is not answering his phone. Why is he in Spain?
Diana: Are you seriously asking me why he is there?
Jose: I am trying to figure out what his next move is.
Diana: Hurry up then!! We don't have time! If something happens to Della, I'm ending you!
Jose: Alright, bonita mia, deep breaths.
Diana: What are you doing?
Jose: I am kissing you.
Diana: S. T. O. P!!
Jose: Nope. You want me to kiss you.
Diana: In your dreams.
Jose: There too.
Diana: Kissing won't help Della.
Jose: True. It helps me.
Diana: I am not here to help you! Lets go!
Jose: To where???
Diana: Della's place. We need to be there in case something happens when she gets home.
Jose: You drive.
Diana: I am not your chauffeur!
Jose: I hate driving, let's walk then.
Diana: You are a prick!

Kaden: Did she leave?
Victoria: Si, Jefe.
Kaden: Good.
~~~~~~~~~
Victoria: Sir….There is something you need to know. Sir!!! Should I call him back? NO! I better wait until he is back, then I will tell him everything.
~~~~~~~~~~
Dad: What's going on?
Man: Kaden's men are outside with your daughter.
Dad: Della? He let her go?? What on Earth is he playing at?
Della: Well, you can leave now.
Man 2: We have a message to deliver.
Dad: I'm listening.
Man 2: My boss wants to speak to you.
Kaden: Are you with your daughter?
Dad: Yes.
KAden: There's no progress in releasing my brother anytime soon.
Dad: I'm still working his case! It's more difficult than I expected!! I need some time!
Kaden: Very well, I need an answer right now.
Dad: You gave me one month!!
Kaden: Look towards your daughter.
There stood Della at gunpoint by the 3 bodyguards who 'delivered' her.
Kaden: I think you can hurry your decision if you care about her.
Della: Say yes, Dad! Go back to Spain! They will kill me otherwise!! Dad!!
Dad: Fuck!
Kaden: Well!! Even I can hear her screaming, what's it going to be? A celebration or a funeral?
Della: Please, Dad!! Go there! Don't let me die! You'd be happier in Spain anyways! Stop thinking, Dad! Say yes! You always wanted to go back to your old life!! Go, dad! Go back to Spain!
Mom: Say no!! Deny his offer! Say NO! Say NO!!
Diana: Holy shit!
