Flashbacks
Lucy: Hi Kris
Kris: You are…here.. and real…
Lucy: (smiles)
Kris: Come in please. (They go in)
Please have a sit. (they sit on the sofa close to Kris and exchange pleasantries)
You are at San Diego, I can't believe this
Lucy: I'm new here
Kris: Diego with you? You know him?
(Lucy nods)
You are his mother? The Lucy?
Lucy: Yeah, Diego is my son
Ena: Not only yours…
Kris: Wait.
You are Diego's mom. Diego looks like me and bears my name…. (Gasps) Diego is my son!
Ela: How intelligent you are
Kris: I have a son!
I have a son? How?
Lucy: Well, I never for once thought about this day….
Never for once thought about seeing you again… atleast not this way…
After the Prom party, our last highschool dance…

*Flashback*
Kris and Lucy are seen at the rooftop of the school
Kris: Roses are Red, violents are blue but all I want is just you
Lucy: (chuckles) First of all, it's violet hot violent
Secondly, that's an old catch phrase
Outdated
Kris: (chuckles also) Okay, how about this?
My dreams are you personified
My thoughts are embodied by you
My heart though confused but has defined
That I love you
Lucy: (swept off her feet) I….I don't know what to say
Kris: I love you too is the word to say
Lucy: Sneaky!
Kris: But to be honest Lucy, I love you. I have always thought it was some tickling feeling or crush on you
Always thought it was a simple friendship likeness
And always taught it would fade
I ask myself, is it love or not?
So far, I know it's love
Lucy: So far?
Kris: Yeah, I've always been confused
Lucy: Kris, stare into my eyes. C'mon, look at me
(Kris looks at her eyes)
Now tell me, Do you love me?
Kris: I love you
Lucy: I love you too
(Both smile and continue to star at each other's eyes)
Kris: (Leans forward and kisses her. Kiss leads to something else)

Mrs Green: You don't look fine, Lucy
Lucy: I am fine
Mrs Green: You're not. You've been feeling feverish and all.
You refused visit from anyone. No one can come to your room
Lucy: Yes and with that, please leave
Mrs Green: You're being ridiculous!
(Goes close to her) Let me check you up.
(Checks her eyes and mouth and her body)
Lucy…
Lucy: Yes mom?
(Runs to her bathroom to throw up)
Mrs Green: How long has this been going on?
Lucy: Excuse me?
Mrs Green: How long have you been throwing up?
Lucy: Since yesterday
Mrs Green: Your dad will be so disappointed in you. Even more than I am already
Lucy: Disappointed in falling sick?
Mrs Green: You are pregnant, Lucy!
—----------
Gina: What are you going to do now?
Lucy: Mom and Dad are so mad at me that they don't wanna see me
Gina: You should call Kris and tell him
Lucy: I should?
Gina: Ofcourse! He's the father, he should know
Lucy: Alright.. (Rings Kris who picks up at first ring)
Kris: Hello Orange
Lucy: Hi
Kris: How are you?
Lucy: I'm okay..
I just called to tell you something important
Kris: Hold on Orange, I'll get back to you… (puts her on hold for two hours)
Gina: It's been two hours, he's still on hold
Lucy: (begins to cry)
Gina: He isn't leaving you…he won't abandon you…stop thinking that
Lucy: Then why is his phone on hold
Gina: Maybe he's busy
(The call got ended by the receiver)
Lucy: He ended the call!
—------------
Lucy: Can't believe Kris abandoned me
He actually left NYC!
Mrs Green: I'm so sorry dear
Gina: But he didn't know you were pregnant
Lucy: Why did he leave NYC?
Gina: He will come back
Mr Green: Don't argue Gina. He isn't responsible enough and that is it
Lucy: I'm aborting it
Mrs Green: You must be out of your mind for saying that!
Sure I didn't expect to have grandchildren soon but I'm glad all the same
Mr Green: Exactly Orange, we are going to help you with this
Lucy: I don't know anything about pregnancy, childbirth or being a mother
Mrs Green: I'm here to teach you
Gina: You will be just fine sis
Lucy: Thanks to you all for your support
Mr Green: We will not turn our backs on you
—-------------
Lucy: (Holds a crying baby) I will name you Diego, a supplanter.
You will take the place of your father in my life
*Flashback ends*
Kris: I did not know at all, Lucy
You should have told me
Lucy: You left
Kris: I just had to
Lucy: Your phone never went through
Kris: I changed my number
Lucy: My point exactly
Ela: It wasn't his fault. He had a big fight with Dad that day and he ran to San Diego for safety
Kris: Let me tell you what happened Lucy
—------
*Flashback*
Kris: Hello Orange
Lucy: Hi
Kris: How are you?
Lucy: I'm okay..
I just called to tell you something important
Kris: Hold on Orange, I'll get back to you… (puts her on hold)
Mr Adams: What do you want from me and why are you standing at my door
Kris: I came to see you
Mr Adams: About what?
Kris: My share of mom's properties
Mr Adams: You have no properties
Kris: The will doesn't say so…
Mr Adams : You bastard! I said you got nothing
Kris: Don't you dare call me a bastard!
Mr Adams: Awwn, little boy wants to fight back. Your defender is dead, don't forget that
Kris: You're a stupid man
Mr Adams: You dare call me stupid, you bastard!
Just so you know, I have your penthouse in my fingers. (Opens his palm which reveals his phone)
Kris: All I see is a phone
Mr Adams: Exactly! (Smiles evily and dials a number)
Hello, yes. Hold on.
(To Kris) One more word from you, your penthouse go bye bye
Kris: You won't dare!
Mr Adams: (to the receiver on the phone) Blow it!
Kris: No!!!
I got millions there! (Runs as fast as he could)
Mr Adams: (Takes his phone) Talking to Lucy, how friendly. (Laughs evily and scathers the phone on the floor)
—------
Kris couldn't meet the penthouse on time even as he drove in his lamborghini. His other cars, except one at the Adams Mansion and his Lamborghini he brought, were all burnt
His penthouse was blown. All bombed in ruins
Kris: You will pay Adams! You will fucking pay!
(Phone rings)
Yes Callo? What? He plans to assassinate me?
On their way? Okay
I got the pendant. This is what we will do. I will book a flight to San Diego, that's where my dad should be. I will sell the Lamborghini in other not to get tracked.
Yes, thank you. Get the buyer for me asap.
Meet me at the airport.
