Ricardo picks up his car and starts to play with it before doggo jumps and grabs a ball from the floor and putting it in front of the kid who ignores the ball and plays with his toys. Doggo whines as he lies on the ground by putting his head on the paws and begging Rick's attention.

"Go" Rick orders the dog throwing his ball and Doggo gets up in excitement to hurry and catch the ball.

"Rick, sweetie time for breakfast" his grandmother's voice makes him look up from his toys to find her smiling and his eyes lands on the food she got.

"No" he shouts in horror seeing the carrot before he starts to run away.

"Rick" his grandmother gasps in horror.

"No, no" he keeps on chanting as he tries to run out of the house but stumbles back as he crashes into doggo.

"Whoa" someone catches him before picking him up.

"You okay there, bud?" the man asks making the boy stare at his face.

"Spencer, what are you doing here?" Rick's grandmother asks in surprise and the man lets go of the kid who rushes to stand beside his grandmother.

"I came to check on Alana, I went to her home and this girl named Lena informed me Alana was here" he speaks making the woman nod.

"Why don't you stay for breakfast, Alana will be down any second" the woman speaks as she asks Rick to sit down.

"Hey bud, eating healthy eh" Spencer teases the boy who pouts as he takes the carrot from his grandmother's hand before letting doggo eat it.

"Or not" Spencer laughs as the kid smiles at the man.

*******

"What's taking your mother so long?" Rick's granny sighs as she stares back at the door.

"It's the breakfast" Rick whispers to Spencer who chuckles.

"I heard that" his granny states as she narrows her eyes at him and he smiles back sweetly.

"This kid is going places" Spencer comments as he ruffles Rick's hair.

"Mommy" Rick calls out for his mother as she walks out of the room.

"Mom, I don't feel so good" Alana groans as she clutches the side of her stomach.

"Hey" Spencer gets up at once from his seat as he goes to hold her.

"You are burning" he comments as he touches her forehead.

"I don't feel so well" she breaths heavily.

"Mommy" Rick worries as Alana starts to fall down.

"Shit" Spencer curses as he picks her up and rush out of the door shouting he is taking her to the hospital.

*******

Richie stays silent as he hears the bidding and arguments on going, even if he had few things to say he was smart enough to know when to speak and right not was not the best time. He turns to face his father-in-law, who whispers something in his ear.

"The shipments, you think you can handle it?" he asks and Richie nods his head a yes.

"The next boarding will be through Price territory" his father-in-law announces which bring a total silence in the room.

"Are you out of your mind Donovan?" one of his partner's questions.

"Exactly! Bringing the shipment in through Price territory is plan suicide, it's hard enough they don't see eye to eye with us and pulling this stunt?" once again the arguments starts.

"You all are correct, the Price they may not see eye to eye with us but the Price do not have eyes everywhere" Richie speaks which brings the attention to him.

"He is your son-in-law, is he not Donovan?" someone asks.

"Yes, Richie Russo" Richie nods his head at the crowd.

"Ah, Russo, heard you give the best service in the world. The best of bodyguards we all can imagine" someone acknowledges him.

"Yes, we do hire the best men" he agrees making few of the men look at him in acknowledgement.

"If the rumors are correct, even the Price they hire the guards from you"

"That's why I know they do not have eye everywhere" he reminds them.

"Are you telling us that you have sent your men in that territory and now they will help us land a shipment?" the man asks making Richie sit straight

"I am saying I can deliver the goods inside of the shipment where you all want it to"

"And I say if he succeeds out of this alive then I will introduce him to the Purgatory myself" the man cheers and Donovan stares at Richie who stays silent.

*******

"This is a total suicide Richie" Donovan speaks as they get inside of their car.

"Why?"

"You think all of the men in that room have been shouting and bidding for hours for nothing? We are not talking about any normal shipping...

This is about human trafficking if things go wrong then you will not just lose your friendship with the Price but none of the men in there will come for your rescue not even I can do anything" the man warns him.

"I know what I am risking"

"No, you do not and just because the man said does not mean you will get to meet the Purgatory. They are not called Purgatory for sake of it...

You still have time, back off from it while you can"

"I cannot turn around not after coming this far"

"Then think about Alana, I have already lost one child I cannot lose another and god damn what the hell have you been thinking cheating on my daughter?" the man shouts at Richie.

"That's the thing we do not think" he replies making the man sigh.

"I said yes to this marriage for a reason, it was my daughter's happiness, after my son Ricardo's dead Alana has been drowning...

I thought you would be the one to save her and after years have I seen her happy. But this, if you get involved in this there is no way out...

Only death is the thing that will let us free" the old man sighs as he rubs his forehead.

"Thanks for the warning"

"I have been in this job my entire life, you hear me Richie my entire life and even I have never met the members inside of Purgatory...

Never seen any of their faces but I know they are powerful, much more than anyone of us can imagine"

"What about the Price?" he asks making the man glance his way.

"What about them?"

"If the members of the Purgatory are so powerful how come none of them can set Price aside?" Richie questions.

"Rumors on the streets, Nicholas Senior aka Pop, he was a part of Purgatory, in his last days as the member he made a deal that no one will ever come to harm his family even after his death...

Price comes from old bloodline, centuries of connections with people around. They are one of those families that cannot be shaken up so easily that's why Purgatory steers clear from their view"

"But they do have set their eyes on them" Russo adds.

"My boy, the little you know about Purgatory the better, it's a web you do not want to get into" the man warns and Richie stays silent as he keeps on driving.

"Now, you can drive us back home and take my daughter out of my house" the man adds and Richie grips the wheel.

"I cannot" his words make the man sigh.

"Do not think with your dick" he snaps making Richie glance at the man's outburst.

"I am not" he admits.

"One woman is not worth breaking my daughter's heart and you have a child together" he reminds.

"I know" he groans not wanting to discuss on the matter.

"Then why the hell have you not done anything to sweep her off her feet. They are women, they always find a way to forgive us...

All we have to do is try a bit, won't kill you if you said sorry and brought her some flowers" the man advices and Richie stares at the man who sighs in defeat.

"Alana can hold grudges for years and she may not just be okay with flowers and sorry but you will not die if you try who knows perhaps it will make a different" he shrugs his shoulder.

"Donovan, I know what I am doing. I will handle it on my own way" Richie stops the babbling father.

"Just, hurry up" he sighs as they drive quietly.

*******

Reaching the house, both the men find it quiet and empty, as they get inside of it they ask the maid where everywhere had gone only to find out that Alana was taken to the hospital. So, Richie do not even give a second thought as he gets back to his car and drives off to check on Alana.

"Thank god you are here" Alana's mother breaths in relief as she sees her husband.

"What happened?" Donovan demands looking around.

"Where is Rick?" Richie worries not seeing his son around.

"Oh, the poor boy has not left his mother's side, he is inside the room" she informs and Richie starts to walk inside of the room.

Opening the door of the room he finds Alana asleep on the bed while his son was just staring at her.

"Rick" he calls for his son who turns around and jumps off the bed seeing him.

"Hey, it's going to be fine" Richie whispers to his son who starts to cry holding onto his father and Richie walks towards Alana's bed.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, he lets Rick slip on to his lap as he holds his wife's hand and touches her wrist.

"What did the doctor say?" Richie asks as both Alana's parents walk in.

"She just went through an appendix operation, the doctor said she can get discharged in few days" the woman speaks.

"Were there any complications?" Richie asks as he holds his son tightly who tries to get to his mother.

"No, everything went normally. She scared us, if Spencer was not there I don't know how..."

"Spencer?" Richard asks as he turns to face the woman.

"Yeah, he is Alana's friend"

"Was he in our wedding?" he asks and the woman shakes her head no.

"No, Alana did not invite most of her friends"

"Oh, I have not met most of her friends anyways" he smiles before he stares at his wife's face.

"Daddy, let's go home" Rick whines as he grabs Richard's cheek.

"Let mommy wake up first"

"No, let's go before she does. Mommy don't want to go home" he adds making Richie smile.

"Come on, you must be hungry" he smiles as he gets up from the bed.

"Yay, ice-cream" he cheers before he whispers.

"Granny does not have yummy foods daddy, she always feeds me carrot. I feel like rabbit" his words make Richie chuckle as he carries his son out of the room.

*******

Alana yawns a bit as she tries to sit straight on the bed but winch before she touches the side of her body and lies down.

"Don't move, too much" her mother's voice makes Alana turn her head to face the woman.

"What happened?" she asks.

"You just had an appendix operation"

"Oh, where's Rick?" she asks looking around the room.

"He had gone out with Richie, the boy looked so happy to be with his father" her mother speaks making Alana close her eyes.

"Anyone can make Rick happy" she grumbles just as the door to her room opens and Richie walks in with their son.

"Mom can you inform the nurses I do not want any visitors?" Alana speaks as soon as he eyes lands on her husband.

"Don't worry, no one will disturb you" Richie grins which irks her.

"By visitor I meant you" she hisses before she shifts a bit as Rick tries to climb.

"Rick" Richie warns scared the boy in his excitement will hurt Alana.

"Its fine, he is my son so of course he would like to be with me" Alana speaks as she lets Rick lie beside her.

"Mom, look what I got" he shows her his new toy before he starts to babble on about the toy.

"How are you feeling?" Richie asks as he stands next to her bed.

"Mom, why is he still here" Alana demands to her mother who raises her hands up in surrender as she gets up.

"I will do as you said and let you both handle this. I will be near" she informs getting out of the room.

"Alana"

"Don't, just get out of the room"

"Mommy, don't fight" Rick sniffs as he clutches his mother arm.

"We are not baby boy" Richie assures his son as he sits on the edge of the bed.

"Get..."

"Alana shut up and just rest, until you are discharged you will be seeing this sinful face now be quiet" Richie warns the woman.

"I am fine, you do not have to bring this sinful face every day in here" she grumbles looking away.

"Sooner or later we will have to talk about it" he sighs as he stares at her but Alana refuses to face him.

"I..."

"Please" she whispers brokenly which stops Richie's words.

"Let's cool down and sit and talk sometime Alana" he pleads and finally she turns to face him.

"Would you say the same if you had come back home and found me on our bed with some other man?" she questions making him rub his face.

"I would not shoot on air but between his eyes then perhaps talk with you" he replies making her shakes her head.

"This is not easy on me, I would forgive everything about you but this...

All the years together and I just feel like I never knew you. You always have something hidden away from me, time and again I thought you will confide within me but not once...

It's like I don't even know who the person I am married to is, I don't know what you do, why did you even married me and after what I saw that day, it's like this marriage is nothing but a lie" she speaks.

"I have never lied to you" he states.

"But you have never shared the whole truth" she replies back and he sighs.

"Rest, I will come visit you again"

"No, don't not when you always try to avoid the topics. Don't come back if you cannot give your whole to me Richie because I am tired of playing happy...

When I am not, I don't want you just physically. And you are not ready for more than physical relation with me" she points out.

Richie stays quiet for a while before he bends to kiss on Rick's forehead who was now asleep on his mother's side before he presses a kiss on Alana's forehead.

"If that is how you see us then" he whispers as he caresses the side of her cheek before leaving.
