Adriana kept this info from Rex and Talia Sahid
. Rex followed Adriana and Tate ordered Adriana to tie up Rex. Talia got a tip from Renee Divine Buchanan and rescued Vincent, Layla, Adriana and Rex. Vincent and Layla reunited and made love for the first time. Tate was sent to prison.
Layla and Vincent happily enjoy their relationship for the next year, until Layla discovers on August 6, 2008, that Vincent has been seeing a woman named Juliana behind her back. Vincent soon faded into the canvas and hasn't been seen or heard from since.
