As his eye lids fluttered, he heard screams around him which surprised him as the last thing he remembered was his mother screaming while his father took his life right before his eyes before setting himself on fire, remembering everything he jolted up screaming his parents names and panting,he felt a hand on his and turned to see his maid's daughter Olivia sitting beside him and holding his hand with tears in her eyes "Dimitri!" she called his name through her tears,seeing her cry he began to cry and hugged her,she hugged him back trying to comfort him as he kept sobbing and holding her "Dimitri I'm sorry" he said nothing and kept crying,after a few minutes he finally let her go and she handed him a handkerchief, he cleaned his nose and eyes before turning back to her "livia" as he called her " it's not fair why did he have to do it" "I'm sorry Dimitri, I'll never be able to understand your pain but I'll try and I'll always be here beside you" his tone suddenly changed as he spoke "where is the man who came to meet mother?" she looked at him confused "what man Dimitri?" "What do you mean, the man who told me he had come to see mother?"he raised his voice as he asked her and squeezed her hand,she winced in pain " Dimitri there was no man who came to see lady Marie or lord Roberto" he held her hand tightly as he sat and stared "Dimitri you're hurting me!" He snapped out of his trance and let her hand go,he had always had a short temper and horrible anger issues but he had been taking sessions for them and he had never actually hurt anyone especially Olivia, just broken vases and other objects, as Olivia looked at him while massaging her hands she saw his beautiful cheerful blue eyes turn dark and dead,She was worried and asked him what man he was talking about,he explained  that  he had seen a man with light blue eyes and jet black hair in the hallway and  he went to ask who he was looking for, when he went to meet him, the man smiled and hugged him before proceeding to ask of his mother,he asked who he was and he said he was old friend,He led him to his mother and she was ecstatic when she saw the man,she sent Dimitri out and checked if anyone around saw him enter the room before shutting the door behind them,few minutes later he heard his father shouting from the living room with his mother crying and shouting at the two men she stood in between, his father shouted at her and the black haired man "you said you loved me not him,you told me you gave up on him Years ago" she screamed back "giving up doesn't mean I stopped loving him,I love him and also you" the black haired man finally spoke "Roberto it's her heart, how can you make her stop loving someone the heart doesn't work like that and you should know or are you too busy taking care of your other patients that you don't have time for your wife or does she need an appointment too Dr Sanchez" "how dare you Andrew, you disappointment what would your wife say, you are here
attempting to steal someone else's wife" "you would be surprised to know I'm a divorced man, I wasn't happy with the marriage just like poor Marie over here" "you pig!" Roberto came charging towards Andrew when Marie stood in between them "stop it you two!" Her Mexican accent protruding as she spoke "both of you are wrong, he confessed his love to me and I felt the same way,it doesn't mean I will leave you for him, and you" she pointed at him furiously " I love you doesn't mean i will marry you,you had the chance fifteen years ago to tell me but you decide to tell me now after I'm married with a kid whose already fourteen for heavens sake" " Marie I was young and stupid and I had to marry Christine for my father's sake please" "shut up! do you think this is some telenovela that you can just salsa back into my life,apologize and I will forgive you and run away with you if so you have lost it" " Marie.." "Quiet both of you I do not want to hear another word from the both of you,I will take my child and leave!" Panicked Roberto runs into the kitchen and emerges with a knife,a gallon of diesel and a lighter "Roberto what are you doing?" " If you leave I Will kill myself and burn the place to the ground" You won't dare" "try me Andrew" he poured the gallon of diesel on his shirt and trouser and lit the lighter "Roberto stop it now, you've lost your mind" " no you've lost it,you can't love both of us make a choice me or him" "Roberto l choose none of you!" She was trying to calm Roberto down when she saw Dimitri staring at them she screamed at him to get out or she was going to use chanclas (slippers)on him,he didn't want to leave but she glared at him and  he reluctantly left ,he was outside mumbling "I'm fourteen but she's still threatening me with a chancla" he went back up to see what was going on when he saw his father  put a knife through himself as he light himself on fire ,he stumbled back and ran out before he passed out in front of the gates of the manor and next thing he knew, he woke up in the hospital with Olivia by his side.
