maricela: the moment my daughter brought him back I started looking how couldn't you keep him in line? you do so much for the others why didn't you do it for him? why arent you screaming right now? i killed your son? he's dead don't you care?

veronica: he was a burden he always was I regretted ever getting with adan the moment I found he was dead I was glad I didn't have to deal with him anymore I couldn't keep him from his family they kept taking me to court for custody and what kind of mother would I look like if I lost custody of one of my kids but look how it went the whole family was fucked up who knows where the dad is

maricela: rotting in prison I've checked but if you regretted it why did you sleep with him if he was with me?

viviana: he was hurt you could've gotten him help?

giovani: he gave up all of your information to known drug dealers that gave up info for money to get you killed and your mother that was his plan of revenge

viviana sat there

maricela: I know I'm no help I'm a shitty fucking mother but when someone comes for my own blood that I thought was dead for 5 years I'm going to hell and I don't care .. your tata took 20 bullets so you wouldn't loose me and your brother you don't think I would do it for you?
