Ricardo remembered how he had begged and persuaded Isa to wear the dress he got her tonight. She didn't want to wear it, she didn't want to pretend but he had wanted her to. So she wouldn't look cheap in front of his mother, not like he cared but he wanted her to leave a good impression.

" I made her wear it" Ricardo said looking at his mom.

" And why is that?" Roberto finally talked.

Ricardo's gaze moved from his mom to his dad.

" Is it because you already knew she doesn't meet up to you?* He added before Ricardo could talk.

Isa eyes darted to Ricardo. Was that why he made her wear the dress? To make her meet up to him?

" No" Ricardo said.

" Then why?"

Ricardo noticed that Isa had removed his hand from her thigh. He turned to look at her and found her staring at the table.

" I wanted her to look good.....to fit into mom's taste" He said. " I don't want her to think she's not good enough"

Isa's eyes stung as she held back the tears. Not good enough? He thinks she's not good enough?

" I'm sorry " She said, her voice hoarse. " I'm so sorry "

Lucia rolled her eyes at her. " You do not know your place, how did you ever think that my son....my own son..... would marry you?" She said bitterly.

Isa's legs trembled as she stood up and bowed her head. " I'm sorry "

" Oh please shut up and get out of my house "

Isa turned to leave but Ricardo grabbed her hand. " You're not leaving "

She looked at him with teary eyes" let me go" Her voice was low but determined. Ricardo had no choice but to let her go.

His heart clenched as he watched her take shaky steps out of the house.

" How could you?" Lucia asked. " How could you think of marrying a lowlife?"

" She's not a lowlife " He turned to look at her.

" What is she then?"

" Isa. The woman I'm going to marry "

" You will marry Monica " Roberto stated. 

" I will not" Ricardo stood up. " I'm tired of you controlling my life, everything I did, you chose for me. I'm tired of that"

" I made you who you are" Roberto yelled.

" And I'm grateful" Ricardo said. " But I won't risk my happiness to prove that. Isa is the woman I love and that's who I'm going to marry " He said and walked out of the house.

" This boy is such a fool" Lucia breathed out as she sat down.

" He's blinded by love and that will do him no good, it will only bring him troubles. Wealth, riches and power are the only thing that matters in life. Do not forget that" Roberto told his daughter.

" Yes dad" Andrea answered nodding her head. Of course she wouldn't forget. They had always told her ever since she was young that wealth was the only important thing in life not love.

Ricardo got into his car and drove out of the compound. He had to find Isa, it was already late. He drove around the area, hoping she wouldn't have gone far but he couldn't find her. He called her several times but she didn't pick and later when he had tried, it was switched off. He drove to her house but when he got there, he couldn't bring himself to come down from the car. If she was inside, what was he going to say to her? If she wasn't, how would he explain to her mother that her daughter had gone missing when he was the one that came to pick her up?
