I will not available for 3 days, as I have to go to Baskin's Studio for the shoot. So please take care of Lucas when you go to a party on Island. Ava said
But I have booked your ticket as well. We all six are going. Leonardo said
Six? Ava asked
Me, you, Lucas, Emma, Sophia and James. Leonardo replied
But I can't I thought Lucas will not go as well. Then I decided to give him to you as you can take care of him. It's Sophia's special day let her enjoy the vacation. Ava said
Don't worry. I will join you instead of them. Let them enjoy themselves including Emma. I will go with you. So Lucas will be happy. Leonardo said
You… Ava said hesitantly.
I... shouldn't? Leonardo looked at her.
I don't mean that. Actually, I took a ticket for the train. Ava said
Don't bother with that. I will get you returned. We will take a flight so we can wind up and tour that city for Lucas. Until your shoot is done. I and Lucas will visit the city. Lucas will enjoy it there. Leonardo said.
Ava went into Lucas's room to make his bag. She was feeling anxious and hesitant due to her feelings and emotions. Leonardo was feeling relaxed as he kept her in front of his eyes. Emma's mood was changed. She decided first that Ava will not go to Island so she will be alone to enjoy and spend time with Leonardo. But when she came to know about his decision to stay with Lucas and Ava, she got aggressive. Sophia managed to take with her to the island forcibly. Sophia was happy as she flew somewhere after a long time. Emma was mentally disturbed as she was alone to enjoy. The flight time of both teams was the same. Ava came airport first time. Leonardo's guards were also with him. Ava was scared but she was not letting him know about her condition. Lucas was used to travelling by air and cruising with his uncle. So he was happy. He slept before the aeroplane took off. It started. Ava was sitting in front of Leonardo. She was sacred. As the aeroplane took off Ava closed her eyes and grabbed Leonardo's closed hand tightly. When she opened her eyes she found his hand above the knuckle was scratched by her nails.
I... I... am sorry. Your skin scratched… actually I travelled first time on the aeroplane. So I got scared when it got up vertically. Ava said anxiously.
It's okay. Don't bother. Stay relax. Leonardo said
Ava took a kitty printed plaster from her bag that she put for Lucas. She put those plasters on his hand.
I am sorry again. Ava said.
Do say like that. It doesn't hurt. Leonardo said. He looked at plaster and smiled.
After they reached on location. Leonardo booked a luxury flat near her assignment to be done. Ava was amazed by looking at the flat that was looking more than a villa.
So this is your and Lucas's room. You can set your stuff here. Leonardo said
Thank you. Ava said and started checking the wardrobe. A wooden showpiece fall on Ava's shoulder and scratched her from the neck. She controlled her scream but Leonardo noticed
Show me. Does it hurt? Leonardo said
No, it's okay. I am good. Ava made an excuse so may Leonardo not get closer to her. She took Lucas's bag and took his clothes to hang in the unit. As she turned Leonardo saw her neck was bleeding a bit.
It's bleeding. Let me see if it is worse. We will go to the doctor. Leonardo stepped forward to her.
No, it is okay. I will see. No need for a doctor. Ava took the same bandage she put on Leonardo's hand from her bag and tried to stick it on her neck.
Not this way. Let me help you. Leonardo said.
Ava was feeling very hesitant in front of him. Leonardo cleaned the scratch with a wet tissue. Ava shivered due to itching.
Does it hurt? Leonardo asked
No. I am okay. Ava said
Leonardo looked at her and put a bandage on her neck. He was lost in beauteous Ava. He smelled her hair by closing his eyes.
Done? Ava said
Yes, I owed you many dressings I returned second. Leonardo opened his eyes and said
Oh! Thank you. Don't take debt. I am going to see Lucas outside. Ava said and quickly went out. She couldn't see into his eyes so she ran outside.
"How I will do my work here? When Lucas's uncle is here. Why I got trembled in front of him?" Ava mumbled
Leonardo felt that Ava was not feeling comfortable. But he got the reason as she got bushed and her body got shivered. He suspected the feeling he was having for Ava, she also have it in her heart. In the evening, Ava went to the studio. She was also looking beautiful in a black dress.
Lucas, I am going. Don't make your uncle upset. I made cookies for you. Ava said
Leonardo looked at beauteous Ava. She was looking damn gorgeous. Leonardo didn't want her to leave the flat.
I and Lucas will drop you there. And will pick you up. Don't need to go with guards. Leonardo stood up and said.
You? Ava amazed.
Lucas will be happy. Leonardo said
Day and night were spent but Leonardo did not tell her a single word. Last day at the flat while doing dinner, Leonardo asked
Children who grow up on the streets are experts in their fears. Before learning to walk, they learn to overcome their fear. They are masters of fears. But you will learn by living. Fear is always strange to you. It gets away. It disguises itself. When you think you know fear wear a new mask and confront yourself. You woke up one morning. Something you never fear becomes what you fear most. You can even understand it. So are you scared of me? Leonardo finally asked about Ava's strange behaviour toward him.
No, I am not afraid of you.
Good and bad we had too much with you. Haven't we? Leonardo asked
Ava and Leonardo reminded themselves of all they had good and bad in past with each other.
We did not know each other. Therefore we made many mistakes. But whatever we did, we did it for Lucas. Then everything changed somehow. I think we found a way to cope one way or another. We found but that you have been restless and uncomfortable for a few days. You have something that worries you. What is the problem? Leonardo asked anxiously.
No there is no problem. Ava couldn't tell him the truth
There is. Am I the problem? Is it related to my presence?
No, I mean that you are not a problem. I mean your presence is not a problem. I mean you are not. Ava repeatedly said she was confused to say.
In beginning, everything was different, you are right. It was very difficult and different. But you, you have changed. But not like you just said. It's not like a scary costume or a terrifying stranger... no way. You... When I meet you the first time you were a terrifying stranger to me. You were cruel and wild. There were no limits to your anger and rage. I was just a naive girl who grew up close to her father. He was not a master of any fear. Everything about you was strange to me. It was frightening. You came into my life like a nightmare. You had been for a long time. But now, there is no more stranger, when I look at you. I am not afraid of you now. Because… I … know you now. Ava said
They both were looking at each other. Confidence was out on the stage. The way both were walking was not strange. But both were not accepting that either. They came back to the mansion with different feelings. Ava was avoiding Leonardo. Whereas Leonardo was curious about her actions.
Cam trapped Leonardo by smuggling boys from a port. He asked his man to tell the boys for their question that Leonardo Benjamin kidnapped them and took them to Malta. He made a trap carefully. He involved Aiden in his work. He called the police and alert them
"I am the father of Max. My son is kidnapped by his other friends. I received a call from Leonardo Benjamin to do the heavy transaction in his account. You can check his recording."
Police escaped the kidnapped boys and returned them to their homes. When they investigated those boys.
"People who kidnapped us were saying Leonardo will not leave. We have to obey him. Blah… blah…"
A police team reached the mansion. Ava was walking in the garden it was Aiden's friend that policeman.
Brother! Why are you here? Ava asked anxiously
We are here for Leonardo. Here is his arrest warrant. He said
Leonardo reached in time.
What is the problem cops? Leonardo asked
You are under arrest for human trafficking. Policeman said.
This is not possible. He can't do this. Ava shouted
Calm down, sister. Don't interfere in the official matters. Policeman said
You have already gone too far, these you say are the lowest slander I have ever heard. I am not going anywhere with you.
If you resist, we will take you by force. Policeman said
What is the proof? What evidence do you have? Leonardo asked
Look at this video man. Policeman said
I got it. But I did nothing wrong. You will get it proved. Leonardo said and walked towards the car.
Where are you going? Listen he can never do this. Never!! It's a misunderstanding. He can never do this. Never!! Ava shouted
Don't need to worry about it. Inspector will realize that he made a big mistake very soon. Leonardo said and sat in the car.
Ava knew that Leonardo was not mistaken. He was trapped by Cam's gang. But she was not known who made this happen. Leonardo went for interrogation. Leonardo wondered how the beauteous lady started trusting him. He admired in his heart that he started walking towards beauteous Ava.
