Celeste lived a hard life.
She lived with an abusive mother who was so bad her father left. After her mom's overdose she was sent away into the foster care system, bouncing from one home to another. Things only got worst when she turned 18 and...
Back in the living room, Lorenzo and his friends gathered and prepared to hear the reason for them all meeting that day. Lorenzo sat on his chair, Martina, Manny and Axel sat on the couch, and Lola stood next to Silvio, Luca sat on the couch armrest, and Javier sat on the top of the couch.
"This is nice and all, but why are we here? It can't be just for a little get together," Axel said.
"It's not," Lorenzo said. He turned to Martina and gestures to her before she stood and spoke up.
"I need you help," she stated. Lola chuckled and shook her head thinking of how she found it amusing that Martina had the audacity to come to them for help after years of lui to them. Martina signed, turning to Lola before she continued with what she planned to say. "I know I don't have the right, but I really need your help. Someone's threatening my life and I know they won't stop until I'm dead. So, I need your help to kill them."
"Of course," Axel said as he placed his hand on top of hers.
"Someone's says they gon kill you. They'll have to get through us. I don't give a shit about who it is. We'll kill this bitch," Javier said.
"Thank you, guys. I need your help to kill Raphael Costa," Martina said. Silvio who was drinking his whiskey almost chocked when he heard his name. Axel and Lola both looked at her with wide eyes. Luca became instantly silent from shook.

"And that's my cue. I'm out," Javier said as stood from the couch and proceeded towards the exit, but didn't make it out because Lorenzo put out his arm and pushed him back.
"What happened to that whole, we'll kill the bitch," Lorenzo mocked.
"That was before girl said Raphael Costa. I got a husband at home. I can't be out doing no suicide jobs," Javier said.
"Martina, killing Raphael isn't something we can just do," Axel said to her softly.
"Even if we try we'll be dead before we can even make a move," Lola said.
"I know it's a lot to ask, but I wouldn't be coming to you unless I really had to," Martina said.
"Is this why you left?" Lola asked.
"I didn't want you guys to worry, but then it started to get serious," she said.
"Why you? What'd you do to make him mad?" Luca asked.
"My father had made a deal with Raphael's father that when we were of age, we were supposed to get married. Thing is my dad only told me the day of my wedding and as you can see I went ahead and married Lorenzo because I love him. I thought I'd be able to deal with it, but then he started to send threats. Not on my life, but Lorenzo's. He was the one who caused the explosion in Lorenzo's office," she said.
"Oh shit, he did that. We spent months tryin to find him," Javier said.
"I know, I should've said something before but I didn't want Lorenzo to worry. Lorenzo had tried so hard to find him, but he couldn't. So, I went to his father," she said.
