Opulent ~Rafael Solano

Chapter 20

Eva's Pov

I get a phone call from Jane saying that her grandma remembers what happened the night of the Paloma's. She tells me that it was Petra's mother. Magda was currently in the hotel. Petra called her over and she arrived in the morning.

Two weeks later

Raf, Petra and I are discussing options for what to do with the problem of financial aid for the Marbella.

"Timeshares would mean a cash influx now, which is what we need." Petra says

"No, what we need is time. We'll take out another loan to cover the balloon payment until we ride this out." Raf argues

"Another risky move is not the answer." Petra says

"Neither is rebranding the hotel." Raf says as they continue to argue, when a voice cuts them off.

"Maybe I can help." Luisa says from the counter. She comes to hug me.

"Where have you been? The police have been looking for you." Raf says

"I know. I left them a voicemail the second I got back stateside." She said. Can you leave the police a voicemail?

"Were you with Rose?" Rafael asks

"Of course not. She's a murderer that killed our father. I went back to my ashram in Peru to get over her, and I did. As a matter of fact... Hey Juice! Don't be shy." She said calling someone

"This is my new girlfriend, the one and only... Juicy Jordan." She says

"Nice to meet you." She says

"Oh you probably don't recognise her outside of the ring." Luisa says

"Out of the ring?" I ask

"I'm a pro wrestler." Juicy tells me.

"Yeah, you are." Luisa says pulling her close.

"That's terrific and how did you two meet?" I ask

"Our first day in the sweat lodge, Juicy just... she just got way too hot, and I mean that in the medical sense. Although look at her." Luisa answers

"Look at you." Juicy says

"I can't. To busy looking at you" Luisa responds and they start growling at each other forgetting we're here. Until  Rafael cleared his throat and they looked at us.

"You must be Eva." she says looking at me.

"You are so adorable and hot at the same time, no wonder he fell for you." She says pointing to Rafael. We blush as Luisa and Petra try to hide their laughter and fail miserably.

"So... what brought you back?" Raf asks Luisa changing the subject.

"Well, the hotel is in trouble, so Juicy encouraged me to reach out to our accountant, and he told me that our profits are down we lost our liquor license. So we discussed it and decided that it's about time  that I help right this ship." Luisa says.

"Right it? How exactly?" Raf asks

"I don't know yet. But I have an IQ of 152, and I basically got through med school drunk, so I'll figure it out." Luisa says

"Oh, and... obviously, I'm gonna take back control of my shares." Luisa adds

"What, now?" Petra asks.

"Definitely. I mean, from what I heard, it look like I'm the tie-breaking vote here since Eva's stumped on what to do in this timeshare versus new loan decision." Luisa says.

Raf, Petra and I stand outside the door to Luisa's suite.

"Spirituality and colonics. Trying to bribe my sister into voting your way? Seriously?" He says as Petra smirks. He knocks on the door. As soon as Luisa opens the door, Raf holds up a box of chocolate
