So it was they all sat and supped together, Leah showing off her new diamond ring, Serena talking of her plans to remodel the house Charles had been staying in, Xation and his father discussing business dealings and a trip to a ranch in South Texas where they were planning to go deer hunting later in the fall. Meanwhile Hays and Charles sat there drinking and eating and agreeing with their hosts. It was all quite nice. Until dessert and coffee were served in the living room.
It all began innocently enough when Xation showed Serena a picture of the horse he had recently purchased in Spain. She had commented how the horse looked exactly like her Andalusian Stallion, Prado. It was when she said 'my horse Prado.' her family averted their eyes from her, saying nothing. Serena knew instantly something was terribly wrong. When her mother explained to her there had been an accident and Prado had to be put down Serena was furious. But, when her father explained it was her older sister, Felina, who had taken her horse out for a run and fallen with the animal, Serena became enraged. She went on a tirade yelling at her mother and father throwing her dessert plate against the wall, screaming at the top of her lungs. She was uncontrollable and inconsolable. Leah and Hays were shocked by her outburst, but Charles was not as he had witnessed many legendary fights between the mother and daughter. Not even Xation could bring his sister under control. So he slipped out to the kitchen informing his small house staff to leave, deciding it was best to give them the night off rather than be embarrassed by the tantrum his little sister was having.
After fifteen minutes or so of her cursing and sobbing Serena left in tears with Hays who took her home. Now after they had departed Xation got into an argument with his mother and father saying they were always so mean to Serena who could never please them, no matter how hard she tried. This upset his mother, but when she tried to defend herself Xation said to her. "And any moment she has found something to make her happy, you always come along with something to say to snatch away that little piece of joy she had. Why do treat your daughter so horrendously, her entire life you have done this? Why do you think I treat her more kindly than I do Felina?" here Xation's mother slapped him across the face, and even Charles was embarrassed for him. Xation wiped away the sting from his cheek, walked out to his front door, opened it up, and instructed his father to take his mother out of his house and go and stay at a hotel for the night. Carlo tried to intercede on Aphina's behalf, but Xation would not hear of it and he slammed the door behind his parents as they left cursing in Spanish under their breath.
