Jeremiah's POV.                                           I had my beautiful daughter when I was 17. I was in love with Martina and sometimes I see her in my dreams still . She knew what I did for a living was not the best but she stuck by me . We had a lot of disagreements before she died . She told me to leave the dirty money and get a better life but I could never bring myself to do it . Jessica can never find out .                                                I've been working on a new project with different Italian and French drug dealers and they've all told me to contact Javier , Jessica's old boyfriend but it's too risky after all he's done . I have to keep a low profile , with him around I can't do that . I guess I'll have to if I really want this .                                   Javier: Well, look who's calling          Me: Shut up I need your help.             Me: I need Favarro's help .                    Javier: Everything has a price.            Me: Stay away from my daughter        Me: She doesn't want to hurt anymore .                                                       Me: I know about your run ins with her .                                                        Javier: Then I'll need something else to teach you a lesson for having me arrested. I'll meet you at your house and you'll tell her the truth .                                                     Javier hangs up .                                           When Javier said that my heart broke knowing that sooner or later that day was going to come . Javier sounded serious like he wanted her to hurt instead of apologizing to her for all the things he did .                                                    Jessica's POV.                                              I stayed at Rapha's house for breakfast . He's such a gentleman when you'd think he'd be a jerk because of the whole famous footballer thing . After breakfast my father called me and said to come home right away . I wonder what's so urgent . Raphaël insisted on dropping me home so I hopped into his luxurious convertible and enjoyed the sun on my face . When we got there I heard glass breaking . We rushed to the door to see what was going on and when I opened the door I was heartbroken. My father was tied to chair with a gun to his head which Javier was holding. " Please don't do this ! Please I'm begging you Javi !" I shouted . He removed the rope he had in my father's mouth. " Tell her ! Tell her the truth !" he shouted putting the gun away . " What truth ? " I cried and my father looked at me as if he was about to cry while Raphaël is staring at Javier . " Jess, I'm a drug dealer like Javier . I'm not an engineer . This big house , the moving from country to country . All a part of the job . Your mother knew and she would often encourage me not to but it's been who I am since I was 15 when your grandparents died . I knew Javier before you met him , I knew he was a criminal but I thought that he wouldn't hurt you . I was wrong so as you know I had him arrested . I'm so sorry but I know that now I can finally breathe and your mother can be proud of me now . " he said and I couldn't believe what was happening. " Why don't you join her . " Javier says and shot my father in the head . " NOOOOO , why Javier , WHY" I started to fall but Raphaël caught me . I cried and cried . Raphaël called the police and we told them what happened. But by the time they were here Javier had fled . Hopefully out of the country .
