And this is the right time?" Jeff asked,
curious. When Nick nodded, Marcia flipped.
"This is a setup! You're just paying them to
act like they know you! To make Nick act like he loves you!" Marcia cried.
"I'm not paying them anything!"
"You're sleeping with them!" Marcia
accused.
"Not `them'," Alex said. "And
besides, Nick and I are engaged!"
"What about Javier dear?" Alex's mother
asked.
"Screw Javier! I'm marrying Nick!" Alex
cried.
"Oh no you're not!" Alex's dad cried.
"Why not dad? He's rich and famous. He could
give me anything I could ever want. And oh, I almost forgot. . . I love

I'm talking about!" Alex's mother had nothing to say, she simply left the
room.
"Father. . ."
"I'm not your father. Don't ever call me
`father' again!" and with that her father stormed out of the mansion, her
mother right behind him. Alex collapsed to the ground crying.
"Alex," Nick said gathering her in his
arms. "It's okay. It's okay. I'll take care of you," he murmured.
"Nick, they hate me. All because-"
"They don't hate you. They're just mad."
"Trust me, my father never acts like that. He
hates me. I've been disowned."
"No you haven't."
"Yes, I have.
