The team of child protection investigated and interviewed Ava and Leonardo separately. Leonardo was anxious that Ava would open her mouth as he was harsh with her at the start for Lucas. But when Ava came outside. He saw she was looking satisfied. But child protection decided not to give them back. Ava shouted at Leonardo as she thought it was happening because of him. Emma and Sophia were as happy as Lucas was not in the custody of both Ava and Leonardo. The next day Leonardo and Ava went to the shelter home where Lucas was living with 3 more kids with one attendant. She told them that Lucas was missing from the place since breakfast. Ava broke down. Leonardo quickly sat in the car and rush towards he was not known. Leonardo received a call after an hour. A man from a group of his enemies called him. He asked for money to get his nephew back. Ava was angry with Leonardo. She shouted at him. Leonardo kick her out of the car and went to the place where he was known Lucas could be there. In the evening he reached that place he found that a man was kidnapping Lucas somewhere. He fired on his van tires. He beat that man and took Lucas out of the van and went to the village of Mr Francis. Ava went to Mr Francis's hut and begged him to tell Leonardo's address. He sent Ava there. Ava reached the village. She went to the address that Mr Francis told her. She saw Lucas playing with a bat and ball with his uncle. Lucas was very happy to see his aunt. Whereas Leonardo was shocked to see Ava there. Then he came to know who may have given the address. Ava was also happy to see Lucas with him. Leonardo called frank and ordered him to prepare papers for him and Lucas as he decided to go to France. Ava was not known about his decision. Leonardo drained the phone battery of Ava. Emma and Sophia were again questioning where they have gone. Ava woke up by the next morning. She wound there was no one at home. She picked up her phone to call Leonardo. It was dead. She went to the mansion. She knew that Leonardo went abroad. She came back to the mansion.
Where were you, my dear? Where are Lucas and Leonardo? Sophia asked with anxiety
He went abroad. He took my Lucas from me. Ava broke down.
What? Sophia surprised
I have no means to stay in this mansion. I am here to take my luggage. So you don't both me anymore. Ava said.
Ava went into her room for packing. She was crying. She went into Lucas's room. She took his few clothes and put them in her bag. Sophia informed Emma about Ava's decision. Both were very happy about her decision. They both decided to go to take a flight to France as they were known to Leonardo's location. Ava packed her stuff and went downstairs. She met with Mrs Rosa. She hugged her and cried a lot. Then she left the mansion. She was not known where she was going. She decided later to leave the city. Leonardo was thinking about beauteous Ava on a journey towards the airport as Lucas bothered him that he would have informed Ava about where they were going. He thought and came back from the airport to the mansion. When he reached the mansion, Sophia told him that Ava left the house an hour before. Leonardo gave Lucas and went out of the mansion. He asked Frank to inform him about Ava's location. Frank reported that Ava's location was seen by mansion as she left the phone in Leonardo's study. Leonardo was worried as he didn't want to make Lucas sad. He went to the railway station. He searched for her but didn't find her. After a few minutes, he saw Ava was entering in train. He ran and held her tightly and took her out.
What the ...? Ava was shocked when she saw the man who grabbed her was none other than Leonardo Benjamin. Leonardo looked into her red eyes. Ava quickly released herself from his arms
Let's go home. Lucas is waiting for us. Leonardo said he took Ava's bag and nodded his head.
Emma and Sophia's hope of being successful was ripped off when Lucas came home. But when they saw Ava entering the mansion with Leonardo. They both went shocked and aggressive. Lucas was so happy after meeting his aunt. Meanwhile, the social services team came and took Lucas to their site as per their terms and conditions. Ava received a call the next day. Social services gave temporary custody of Lucas to Ava. She was as happy as without more effort she was going to get Lucas from ruthless Leonardo. But she got her happiness rolled down as she also knew Lucas wouldn't live without his uncle also. The social services supervisor advised Ava to change home to Lucas. Social workers were also advised to investigate routine checks on Lucas's activity. Ava came back mansion to inform Leonardo about the social services decision. But Leonardo was continually busy with his work. When the third time Ava came to talk to him she found that Leonardo was talking to someone on phone and looking at her with an angry face. Leonardo came to know from Frank that social services gave temporary custody of Lucas to Ava and she knew that.
I want to tell you something. It's important. Ava said
You took custody of Lucas without informing me. You hide it from me. Leonardo raised his tone
I... I.. Ava was about to tell him again but Leonardo interrupted.
You what? I brought him to you. I find out and brought you home just for Lucas he need both of us and you played with me. What you are going to do?
I came to you twice. But you were busy with your work. I tried to tell you. Ava justified
You did business behind me. What a play! You hide it from me Leonardo said
What are you saying? Ava asked
What did you do? How you did do that? Playing behind my back? I bring him back while I was taking him abroad. You betrayed me.
I am not playing. Stop blaming me. Ava got aggressive
Are you successful now? By crying and acting or pretending as sincere as you can with your tears and sympathies? What kind of plan did you make behind my back? Leonardo shouted
I didn't plan anything. I just went normal. I tried to communicate with people. Ava said
You just communicate with people for bargaining some? Huh!! Leonardo shouted
This exactly happening to you because you judge people without knowing and listening to someone. Maybe they gave it to me because I never judge people. For my lack of confidence in myself.
You are just acting. You are playing your sympathy card with your tears. What was your way to communicate so they changed their decision to give Lucas to you? When they refused to give custody. Or you used your feminity or lied to them? Leonardo insulted her. she completely lost control. She raised her hand to slap Leonardo but he grabbed her arm nearly to his face.
Don't dare again!! You completely lost my nephew from now. Leonardo said with anger and released her arm with pressure.
First I was sad about the custody order. But I can see it again. They made the right decision to give Lucas to me as they may know the monster behind his back. He was insecure with you and they didn't perceive anyone else better than me as guardian Ava looked at him and said rudely. She quickly aside by his way and shut the door with full strength.
Leonardo got so hyper. He dialled a call to Frank
This girl should be punished for her lies and how she played with me. Use her identity things for that work. Report to me within an hour. Leonardo shouted
Are you sure? You will not able to get it back if once it happened? Frank emphasized
Don't you understand what I said to you? Leonardo said
Ava came back to Lucas's room. She packed the bag and went to the centre. She signed the papers of custody and took Lucas to Vanessa's home. Frank informed Leonardo about the entire situation. He also said that lawyers didn't satisfy him for custody. Only Ava will be the custodian of Lucas. Leonardo got hyper after listening to Frank. He quickly went out of the mansion to find Ava and Lucas. He thought Ava is taking revenge on him. So she took Lucas away. Vanessa asked Ava to leave her house so that Leonardo can easily find her. She sent Ava to her aunt's village. It was 2 hours away from Leonardo's place. There was a lack of signals. So it was not easy for Leonardo to trace Ava's location. Ava was upset at the new place. She didn't want Lucas to be alone. She decided to go back to the city and find a rental flat for her and Lucas so Leonardo may be able to meet him anytime. Aiden helped her to find a fine flat for both of them. Ava shifted there. She also started working for the studio online. She thought she should talk to Leonardo to end up in fight. So she went to his Studio.
I am here to talk to you. Ava directly entered his office. We should end this wrong way. Stop showing anger, and giving threats. Stop this now. Ava said
Did you work on this acting hardly to present in front of me? Leonardo taunted
You are doing the same thing again. I am here to fix everything. Ava said
You can try your best to get what you want. Leonardo said rudely
I have no power to fight with you. I am not like you. Ava said
Don't make me a fool. One day Lucas will come back home from where he belongs. Think about yourself. What will those people do with you? Who protected you part-time? Who all are playing behind me? Leonardo said
Ava got hurt by his words and quickly left his office. In the evening Ava decided to give Lucas a surprise. She took him to the mansion. Leonardo was at Mr Francis's hut. Watson called him to come back home as it was an emergency happening in his room. Ava asked Lucas to hide in a blanket on Leonardo's bed. Ava stood in his dressing room. Leonardo quickly came back to the mansion. He went into his room quickly.
Who is there? Leonardo shouted
Uncle!! Lucas said
Leonardo got surprised. He saw Ava walking towards him. He thought about the insult he did to Ava in office. He hugged Lucas and sat with him while looking at Ava.
I told you I am not like you! Ava said with tearful eyes and went out of his room quickly.
Leonardo was not able to say thanks to Ava. He was ashamed inside as well. He laid with Lucas and both slept. Leonardo was feeling so reprieved after a long time. At midnight Leonardo woke up with a jerk.
Oh my god! Why did I didn't listen to her? Leonardo mumbled. He dialled the call to Frank.
Come to the study room quickly. It's important. Leonardo said. He took Lucas and laid him in his bedroom.
I have to tell you that plan worked properly. The girl will be punished excessively for her actions. Frank said
Remove that trap. Cancel everything immediately. Leonardo said
But.. Frank tried to tell
Not buts. Leonardo interrupted
Lucas returned home with her. For the happiness of Lucas. Finish it Leonardo said
What? Frank amazed
Let no one touch a single hair of the girl. Leonardo said
Of course, I will handle it. Frank said
Leonardo was worried about the next happen. He didn't want anything bad at the mansion. He was unable to look at Ava while Ava came to him. He changed his thinking pattern.
Why did you bring Lucas? Why you came back? Leonardo asked
The same is the reason why you didn't take Lucas abroad. We feel the same. Lucas needs both of us. It cannot be without me not without you. I know you think the same as me. Ava replied calmly.
Leonardo nodded his head.
I am here to talk to you about something else. Actually, social services gave Lucas a condition. They said to keep Lucas away from this house. I took a great risk by bringing him back here. If they find out I brought him back here we will lose custody completely. I didn't tell anyone at the mansion. Because I was not sure to talk else except you. Ava said
You did well. Let it be secret between us. I will find out a way. You stay here. I mean both. Leonardo was lost in her eyes. He was also ashamed of what he has done without listening to her. he was also afraid that if the police took ava to the station for a crime, then what he will do after?
Everyone was having breakfast. Leonardo was pretending as happy as he could so. But he was afraid of that work. Meanwhile, Watson came to him.
Cops are waiting for Ava. He whispered
What? Why did they ask about me? Did they come to take Lucas? Ava listened to Watson and shouted. Watson nodded his head in no.
Don't worry I will ask them first. Leonardo stood up and went outside.
Why are you asking about her? Leonardo asked policeman
It's an arrest warrant. In an aggravated fraud. We have to take her statement. Policeman said
I did nothing. It's a misunderstanding. Ava shouted.
You should come with us. You will give a statement at the station. Policeman said
Ava looked at Leonardo. He grabbed his arm
Look. I will fix this. So don't worry. This is an error. I will fix it. Leonardo said
I want to meet my little nephew for a minute. Please let me. Ava begged the policeman.
For 3 minutes only. Policeman said
Look, my sweetheart. I have some work so stay with Mrs Sophia I will be back soon. Ava hugged Lucas
Lucas got sad. Leonardo was making fists with anger on himself. He couldn't tell Ava about the mistake he did. He was unable to connect his eyes with Ava. Ava sat in the police van. Leonardo was thinking about his mistake. He called Frank to come mansion immediately. Ava looked at Leonardo with interrogating eyes. He nodded his head that he will get herself out from there. It was a sad evening with a red sky that was making scared everyone in the mansion, especially Leonardo.
