Lucas woke up. He got anxious as Ava didn't wake him up. he stood up and went into Ava's room. He found she was sleeping with a frame. He took it out of Ava's hands. He smiled after looking at his aunt holding the frame of three of them. He took that frame and went out.
Beetroot! What is this? Leonardo asked while Lucas was going into his room
This is our picture. My aunt was holding it while she was sleeping. I am going to put it in my room. Lucas said
Did you take her permission? Leonardo asked
She is still sleeping. Lucas said
Come. Put it back. We don't take anything from anyone without permission my dear. Leonardo said and step forward towards Ava's room. Meanwhile, Ava came out. As she saw Lucas and Leonardo together with the frame, she became frozen in her place. Leonardo looked at her and smiled.
The sky got dark. Leonardo waited for Ava. She arrived late. She directly went into Leonardo's room
Are you available? Ava asked
Yes, I was about to call you right now. Leonardo said
I bought a little gift for you. Can you please check? Ava gave a box to him.
Do you like it? Ava asked. It was a metal pen.
Yes, I like it very much. Leonardo said
I know it's not worth more than what you have done for me and Lucas. But I thought you would like it when you see it.
I will use it in my important jobs. From now on. Leonardo smiled.
What did you buy for yourself? Leonardo asked
I bought these earrings. Thank you so much. Ava said
Didn't you buy anything else? Leonardo asked to clarify his doubt.
I didn't need anything. I bought this for your happiness otherwise I don't use fresh jewellery. Ava said
Are you sure? Leonardo asked
Did something happen? I bought only these with your card. I bought this pen with my money. Ava said
Leonardo thought something. He opened the notifications.
Are these all my notifications? But I only bought one item. Ava was surprised to see too many lists.
No problem. It might be an error. Leonardo said
I will give you your card before I forget. How you can get too many notifications when I didn't buy anything except one item from your card? Ava said and opened her bag.
Oh my God. It's nowhere. I dropped it somewhere. How clumsy I am. I am so sorry. Please tell me how much that is. I will pay you. Ava cried badly.
Don't worry. Someone who took it used that. Don't worry. Leonardo said
Tell me, please. I don't want to feel guilty all the time. Ava said she snatched the phone from his hand and looked at notifications.
…Hundred thousand… oh my god. Leonardo took his phone back.
How I will pay it back to you? I will find a way. Ava cried
Don't worry. I will fix it. Leonardo said
How long I will work, I couldn't make it happen. Ava broke down.
You are not mistaken. You do not understand me? Leonardo tried to make her calm.
Let's call the bank. Or let's go back there can be a solution. Ava said
Don't worry. I will handle it. Leonardo said
I am so sorry. It was all my fault. I am so sorry. I had not taken that card. OMG... Ava cried. Leonardo wiped her tears.
The sisters were happy. They were waiting for the results. As Aiden also invited Ava to dinner by lying that he wants her for dinner with Adam and his mother will also be there. Leonardo was busy making Ava relax.
I can't eat. Don't insist on me. Please Mrs Rosa I am not available. Ava said
Why are you punishing yourself? Why you don't listen to my words? Leonardo entered Ava's room. Ava looked at Leonardo with a shy and guilty face.
I am guilty. Ava cried
Once a time we had no money. We cried for a piece of bread. I made money but I know it's not important. Look at this mansion, if there is no Lucas or my brother what does it mean to me? Nothing. Do you understand? Look I bought a gift for you. Leonardo opened a beautiful box of bracelets.
Oh please. I can't take it. I have debt on you already. Please. Ava cried
Don't cut my words. No matter how high your value is, you can replace what you have lost. Being upset doesn't make sense. If you see something as intangible value. You would be saddened if you lost it. For example, this was not because it was on display. It has value because it will be on the wrist of Leonardo Benjamin's wife. And if you lost it, not of the money I spent on this. It will make me angry that you don't value my gift. Give your hand. Leonardo said
I don't deserve this. I made your loss. This seems so expensive as well. Ava cried
Give me. Leonardo made her wear that bracelet.
You will be Leonardo Benjamin's wife. So you deserve everything. Everything is yours that is mine. Now, look at me. Smile. Leonardo said
Hmm. Good night. Ava said. After Leonardo went into his room. Ava sat saddened. She couldn't sleep well. The next day, Ava came downstairs.
Ava dear. Come sit on the left side of Leonardo. As this is the heart side. Now you are his bride to come. James stood up from Sophia's right and called Ava to sit in his place.
Brother, it's okay. You can sit there. Ava said
Come I am elder so listen to me. James insisted.
Ah, brother. Thank you. Ava said
Emma and Sophia's facial expressions changed. Emma's mood swung to be hyper. Sophia pinched her leg to not to react. Emma excused themself and left the table. She went into her room and didn't look anywhere. She cracked a perfume bottle on the floor. Mrs Rosa started to shift Ava's wardrobe to Leonardo's room. Ava went there. she was nervous.
Mrs Rosa, You can go. We will manage the rest of the stuff. Leonardo said
Come sit here. Leonardo said to Ava. ava sat on the couch
Though it is fake marriage. But the proceedings will be real. We have to be together likewise. So don't be nervous. You should get yourself used to this routine from now on. I told you everything of mine is yours. This room includes in that everything. Just relax. Don't be shy about asking things. Leonardo said
I understand. you also behave likewise. I will try my best as well. Ava said
So let's start arranging your stuff. Leonardo said
Okay. Thank you. Ava said
Aiden asked for dinner with Jasmine's aunt and Adam. I don't want to go out in this situation. Ava said
Don't bother. I will wind up. or I will ask Millie to do it. don't both this. You may go. Have a safe trip. Leonardo said
Aiden called Sophia and informed her that Ava will join him. Sophia briefed him again about the details of dinner. Innocent Ava was not known that her steps towards that dinner will lead her life going to putting fire on her new wed life. She got ready and went for dinner in the evening. Sophia sent Emma to Leonardo's study to argue in front of him to get the right thing done at the right time.
I know who stole your card. Ava herself stole that. To rip you off this girl could have done this to you too. Trust me Leonardo she is a gold digger. I wish you could see me.
Shut up! Leonardo roared.
You are thinking me wrong. If you dig around a bit. You will find that card on that girl
Get out of my room. Otherwise, something wrong will occur. Leonardo shouted
You always think of me that I am wrong. But I always thought about your good. Emma cried
Aiden went to the well romantic-themed decorated hut. He check out everything and waited for Ava. no one knew except two sisters that the photo session was started in time along with recordings.
I am so sorry. I got late. But where are my aunt and brother? Ava asked
Come here. Aiden said
Ava went into the lounge. She found a table decorated for only two persons with a romantic theme set up on every wall. Ava was surprised and frightened. She didn't let Aiden know about her inner fear of staying there.
Please sit. Aiden said
I am going to call aunt. Why is she late? I will sit when she will arrive then I will join the table. Ava said
Don't call her. Please. They will not come. Aiden quickly held her hand.
What is this behaviour? Why. Then why did you lied to me? Ava angrily asked
They will not come. Because I didn't invite them. Aiden said.
Well. Why? Ava asked
Because I wanted to talk to you alone here. For that reason, I did that. Please Ava sit here. Aiden said
Ava sat up. She started coughing as she raised her hand to her mouth Aiden held her hand
I am not a bad person. I wanted to say you everything face to face. I love you. All the time I think of myself. I wanted to tell you from the first day. But I couldn't.
You are not serious. Ava said
I am very serious. I think about our future with Lucas. If you don't want to stay in that house. Look I can buy a brand new house for you. I also have money. I have a lot. I can offer you a wonderful life ahead. I can give you and Lucas a good life. You can say the best life. Just don't marry that man. Don't make a big mistake.
All of these are terrible nightmares. Aren't these? This is not you. Or is it you? Do you know what you said? I am about to get married and you make me come here with your lies and saying these?
Ava, listen
You never had respect for me? For the things, we had in past? I will not stay here to maintain my respect that is there is little left. Ava stood up
Ava, listen to me. Aiden her arm tightly and hugged her
Ava managed to escape from his tight grip and slapped his face tightly.
How dare you? Stop don't try to say anything anymore. Ava shouted and went out. She went to the beach and cried loudly to calm herself. After a while, she went to the mansion. Everything was recorded as Sophia wanted. Her agent sent her all the data.
You don't look well. Did something happen? Leonardo looked at Ava
I have a headache. I will rest then I will get better. Ava said
Your eyes turned red. What happened? Did something bother you? Leonardo asked
Nothing. I am going to check with Lucas. Ava said. Leonardo followed her to Lucas's room and sat with her. He told the fairytale to Lucas while he was looking at Ava. He thought that Ava was sad as she was about to shift into Leonardo's room. But he didn't know how a rock will come on his chest and rip it off badly. Ava was suddenly looking at Leonardo. She was in regret due to the incident.
O wow! Now I feel sorry for innocent Ava. What Aiden played is best. But he doesn't know that he will never win Ava after this. Sophia said
I can't wait to see situations getting worse. Emma said with anger
I called Aiden and appreciated him. He was crying that he was real for Ava but she got mad at him. Sophia said.
Sophia was using everyone to demolish every happiness coming to the mansion. She didn't leave Emma and Aiden out of danger. Before the wedding day. She asked her man to make segments of recordings properly so that Leonardo will be able to believe in the greedy Ava of her thoughts.
