Reign Santos-Valentino will soon be 21, which means much responsibilities, becoming head of his family's business. His very nonchalant and bad boy character attracts a lot of the girls but he is too much of a player to keep a girl. But as it's his t...

I walk in after her and she takes me to some room. I join her as we sit down.
"What are you doing here?" I ask.
She sits back. "Well this is my home, my old home".
I look around and the building turned out to be some beat up old mansion. I could see it with the chipped walls and the dusty floors.
"It's your home..? So what, you have been hiding here this whole time" I ask.
She shakes her head. "You're going too fast, Selina brought you here so let me tell the story".
I roll my eyes. "Sure whatever".
She looks down at the table and she places a photo down. I look at it and she sighs.
"I was born Francesca Guzmán, my parents were leaders of the French Guzmans. It was weird for a French couple to have a Spanish last name but that was because of our ancestors. They settled here from Spain, had my father. He was born French and hardly knew Spanish, so he stayed with what he knew. Married my mother and had me and my older sister. They treated us differently because I was way younger than my sister. We were 20 years apart. My parents, your grandparents were really young when they had her so they never were strict with her and her choices. My father grew his mafia empire here in France but of course was looked down upon. Spain and Italy thought we were a joke, that they were more ruthless and good at business. So my father swore, he would change that with us. He never had a son so he wanted my sister to marry one of wealth, preferably a mafia son".
She sits up. "So she found one, his name was Rosario. He was French but had Spanish roots as well. It reminded my father of himself and honestly he knew that would make us even more of a joke. To have a man who was still Spanish, made him feel less superior so he didn't support the relationship anymore. It was too late, he already got my sister pregnant. Pregnant with triplets, my father thought it would change things. To have Spanish blood in our family was a disgrace. So they had an argument one day, where my father told my sister to abort. She didn't and truth came out. Rosario found out and he didn't want my sister anymore, he fell out of love with her. A part that Selina actually didn't know about but I did. I was young when this all happened. So Rosario left her and moved to Spain but he swore he would care for his 3 kids. And that is when he decided to make his own empire once he met a woman, Estrella Santos. After a few years, he took her last name and he stopped seeing his kids. Selina remembered it all because she was his favorite after all. His enemies started building up and tried everything to find out any dirty secrets he had.
But of course since he didn't care for my sister and our parents disowned her, she had no protection. She was killed and the kids were separated. Selina, Esme and Julio were taken by different families. I tried hard to keep track on them with the help of my father but he wanted nothing to do with them. So I lost contact, knew nothing that happened with them afterwards. Until I heard Rosario died and Ignacio Santiago had my nieces and nephew in his care. He worked hard on Selina the most and I had no power to bring them back. I was only a teen at the time, still living with a bitter father. He tried to treat me as a son, to take over but I wanted nothing to do with it. I still was sad over my sister.
