It's getting dark now. You will not get a taxi from here. Sit in the car and we will go home. Leonardo said.
Ava got up and went towards the car.
Son! Why are you behaving this way with her? Mr Francis asked
She will leave. It will make Lucas sad. Leonardo replied
Are you sure she will make sad only Lucas? Mr Francis asked
Uncle!
Mr Francis raised his eyebrows as a question. Leonardo looked at him and step forward toward the car. During the entire journey toward the mansion, Leonardo and Ava were reminding themselves of Mr Francis's words he said to both of them. When they were going to the mansion Ava received notification of a money transfer in her account. It was the salary for work she did as a bonus at the studio. Leonardo felt thirsty. Stopped his car near a grocery store. He took a water bottle from there. Ava went out of the car and took the money from the ATM adjacent to the grocery store. She sat back in the car. Leonardo came back and moved towards the mansion. He didn't know about Ava's action. After dinner, Ava went to Leonardo's study room.
I know something happened. You got angry because of me. That's why you are trying to keep me away from Lucas. If I did something wrong to him. I will not ask you. Even so, I have something to tell you that you should hear if you have any doubt no need to keep it. I love Lucas more than my life. I will never do something that will make him sad. I am living here because of him. Ava said
Don't talk unnecessarily. Why you came here? Just tell me that. Leonardo said rudely
I didn't say anything unnecessarily. I am just telling you how much I love Lucas. Ava said
Also, I am saying don't talk unnecessarily. Tell me what you want to tell. Leonardo raised his tone
Lucas is my life. I want to see him every moment while he is growing. I will do my best just because of this reason. I have taken some decisions about my job….. Ava was telling that Leonardo shouted at her
If your fun is finished you can go now. Get out.
Ava put an envelope of money on his table.
This is part of my debt. You made a kingdom for yourself with these papers. You think everyone is a servant to you. But I am not your servant. I won't be your servant. Lucas also. I won't let him be. One day I will take him from here and will go away from your kingdom. And that time will come when you will unable to get him from me. Even a day will come when you give me Lucas by your own hands. Ava raised her voice.
You take your lies and money and get the hell out of here. Leonardo shouted
Ava quickly went out of his room.
What the matter? Is the problem the same? Frank came and asked.
Bigger problem. She will take Lucas from here after she will get married. She should get out of this mansion right now. Leonardo roared
Where she will go in this dark? Frank asked
If you can't do so because of your sympathies. I can do it by myself. Leonardo shouted at him and went into Ava's room. She was crying on the terrace. Meanwhile, Aiden called her. Leonardo angrily entered her room to throw her out of the mansion. He stopped to listen the conversation of Ava with Aiden.
I have not changed my decision Aiden. I can't marry you. This can never happen. I respect your attention but thank you. I hope we will never talk about this topic again. I have already discussed with you the new method of my work. Ava said him
Leonardo's anger meltdown in a minute. Ava turned to the room. She saw Leonardo standing there.
What are you doing in my room? Ava asked rudely.
Lucas. When will be his doctor's appointment? Leonardo thought something and said
It's 2 weeks later on Monday. At noon. Ava calm down and said with tearful eyes. She was thinking about his behaviour a few minutes before.
What was an emergency to ask at this time of night! Ava mumbled
Oh! Thanks to Emma, she looked after Lucas very well. Sophia exaggerated in front of Leonardo on the breakfast table.
We did painting and played well but he is not getting active as a kid needed to be. I thought Lucas is so bored at home. We should take him to the park he will feel better. Emma said
Okay! I understood. I will take him to the park. Leonardo thought for a while and looked at them and said.
Emma and Sophia looked at each other. Sophia thought he may ask Emma to go with him. Meanwhile, Ava passed away in the dining hall.
Get ready! You will go to the park with Lucas I will drop you there then I will go to the office. Leonardo said to her.
Both sisters wondered about the situation.
Sister Leonardo is so strange. Don't ask me again to bother him. Emma whispered in her ear with anger. She left the dining hall and went into her room.
They went to the park. Lucas was so happy after a year he was going to the park.
I don't want you to leave us alone in the park. So until Lucas will be there kindly stay with these. Ava requested
Leonardo raised his eyebrows and looked at Ava. They reached the park. Leonardo was continually looking at them. Lucas enjoyed it a lot. Leonardo smiled after years. But suddenly he remembered about he shouted at Ava the previous day without knowing the reason. He was feeling ashamed inside. But he didn't let Ava know about his situation. Lucas was playing happily when he got kicked by a stone. Both thought that he could fall so both got closer to him. Meanwhile, Ava's fragranced hair waved in the air and touched over face of Leonardo. Once he lost in the affection of the fragrance then he got himself in senses. Ava was happy Leonardo noticed her smiling face. He thought that she may have forgotten the entire incident.
Lucas sit in the car. I will come after doing shopping as I told you about what I will do after. Ava said
I decided not to go to the studio. I will do my job at home. I have to get some stuff from the market. I am going there. Ava said.
Sit in the car. I will drop you wherever you say. Leonardo said. He was surprised by Ava's next decision of not going to Aiden's studio. He was feeling ashamed inside but he didn't let Ava know about his condition.
No thanks. I can go by myself. By the way. Thanks for bringing Lucas to the park. I never saw him as happy as he was today. Ava was a little rude to him because of his previous behaviour.
There is no need to say thanks. Leonardo said.
Oh yes, you are right. There is nothing to be thankful for. Normal people do nice things for their loved ones. They think and care about them. But you are not of those normal people. Ava's said. Her behaviour was still the same.
Ava was about to reach the market, someone give her an anaesthesia pad on her nose and she got unconscious.
Leonardo came back to the mansion. He waited for Ava. then he normalised himself that she will come back to the mansion. His behaviour changed. He went into his room and lay on the bed. He went into waving thoughts of Beauteous Ava.
'Fragranced hair waved through the air and touched his face'
'A princess of an unknown castle was walking towards him in a royal blue ball gown'
'He was about to kiss the sleeping beauty'
A phone bell interrupted his romantic thoughts.
Mr Leonardo Benjamin!! A voice came from a caller on the phone. Leonardo sat on the bed
Mandela Richard!! The last person I want to hear from his voice. What do you want from me now? Leonardo shouted
I want to see your arrogance make you suffer. Voice came
Is the topic again? Don't waste your time. I said my last words. Leonardo said
This time I will say the last words. I have precious items. I hope that you will concern about it. I hope you want to see that. A voice came back
I don't want to see it again. Don't dare to call me again. Don't bother me. Do you understand? Leonardo shouted and dropped the call. He threw the phone on the bed.
Again a facetime notification was ringing. Leonardo picked up. As he attended he saw it was Ava whose face was tapped and hand was closed to the back of a chair. Her face was looking so anxious. 'A voice came. "I thought you should see that before I kill this. Say her Good Bye". Instantly phone call dropped. Leonardo got very aggressive. He shouted and threw all the stuff from the table in anger. He called him back
Leave that girl immediately! Leonardo shouted
So you came to know that I was not telling you wrong. I am realistic.
Leave her immediately. Don't you understand that? Leonardo shouted
If you want to give life to your lover. You should give up the bidding. If you do not. You must know that child and this girl both will die. Voice came.
Tell me the address. I am coming. Leonardo said
I know you want to be with your lover as soon as possible. But you didn't ask my conditions to get her. You will ask me for forgiveness as well. Voice came
I will kill you!! Leonardo shouted at him with bad words.
Leonardo Benjamin. Do not forget. Your lover is in my hand. Control your language. You only have time till tomorrow afternoon. You have 12 hours. Then decide you will say sorry or I should do my job? Call dropped.
Leonardo went in shock as he was helpless to do anything. The sorry and thank you were not his traits. So the bridge was in making due to his toughness.
It will be good if your lover comes to me and apologize to me. Your life depends on his word of 'forgiveness'. If he doesn't. He will only be able to get your dead body. Mandela said
Ava was shouting. But her voice was lowered as the tape was stuck to her mouth.
Open her mouth. Mandela ordered his guard
I swear! We are not lovers. I just hate him. I am just living with him because of my nephew. Ava cried
Are you kidding me? He agreed to waive the bidding on my first try. And you are telling me a lie. And you putting dust in my eyes that you two can't be lovers?? Mandela shouted
I beg you to let me go. My nephew is so small. I swear we are not lovers. Ava said
If he comes to me and asks for my forgiveness, then we understand that he loves you very much. But if you don't want that. I could shoot all the bullets in your body. I will not regret it. Mandela shouted.
Ava reminded herself about Uncle Francis's words
'Leonardo can die, but he will not say sorry
He will not apologize to you. I know him very well. Ava shouted
Shut her mouth. Take her to the old warehouse. I will wait for him here. Mandela ordered.
His guards took Ava from the chair. They put a blindfold on her eyes. She was also hungry from the day. She was also getting dizzy.
Send me your address. I will come to you now. Leonardo shouted. He received the address. The address was on the four hours drive. Leonardo quickly left the mansion. He reached the address near 5 o'clock in the early morning.
So are you going to break your rule? Mandela asked
Leonardo was making fists with anger. Mandela noticed him and laughed.
Remember your girl is still in my control. You are alone and my men are more. So If you did any mistake your girl will directly go to hell. Mandela said.
I …. Am… so….r…r….y… Leonardo step forward and said with breaking words.
What!! Really? Mandela surprised.
Leave the girl immediately. Leonardo grabbed his arm
But your girl is not here. Mandela said.
Why did you lie to me then? Leonardo shouted
Bye, Mr Leonardo!! You will receive a mail soon. You will get information about your girl. Mandela said and quickly went out. Leonardo was patiently aggressive. He didn't want any harm to happen to Ava. He waited for Mandela to get a response from him for an hour. but he didn't receive that. everyone of Mandela was gone from there.
