Ava opened her eyes. Her eyes broaden up. She quickly sat up.
Lucas!! Ava asked
I felt a moment before. He is gone. Leonardo said and sat up.
I will check with him. Ava said and went out of the room
Leonardo was relieved after looking beauteous Ava around him.
Millie where is Lucas? Ava asked
He is downstairs. He was starving so he went to eat something. Mother is looking at him. Millie said
I will see him now. Ava said
In these clothes. Millie asked with amazement
Oh! You are right. I didn't notice in hurry. Ava said and went back to the room.
"How did this happen?" she mumbled.
Emma couldn't sleep the whole night. She couldn't stable herself so she went to the office earlier than everyone. Sophia was also sad. But she was continuously pretending to be good as she could so. Both sisters were taking relaxants and other pills to calm themselves. Emma came back within two hours and went to Sophia's room. She shouted at her again. But Sophia didn't let herself be down. She shouted back at her and made her understand that she will manage to ruin the happiness around in the mansion.
Come here. Sit with me. I need to talk with you. Leonardo said
Ava looked at him.
I am everything happening with you. I am aware of your nervousness about being alone with me. I am aware of your fear. Feel it normally. Don't feel guilty or ashamed for this reason. But we have a long way to go. You have to prepare for this. You have to be used to these kinds of situations. Leonardo made her understand the situations Ava looked around and smiled. She quickly ran upstairs to her room. The room for both Leonardo and her. She looked around. There was no cushion on the couch.
He asked Lucas if he shouldn't sleep daily in our room. Then why the couch is cleaned? Oh. No… this shouldn't be. Ava mumbled. She misunderstood Leonardo.
Is there something wrong? Leonardo asked Ava
You … where… cushions… and… Ava gave him gesture
They were dirty so I asked Millie to send them all for dry cleaning. By the way tonight… Leonardo said
Tonight? Ava asked hesitantly
Tonight together. Leonardo said and stopped. He noticed that Ava was getting shy without knowing anything so he took a step closer to her. Ava closed her eyes. She couldn't listen to the words she assumed in her mind.
Tonight we will have dinner with Aunt Jasmine's family together as a tradition of this mansion.
Dinner… dinner? Okay. This is great. Okay. I am going to call her for the invitation. Ava took a deep breath and walked out
By the way. Everything will turn out as you wish. Leonardo said by stopping her midway
Sorry? Ava asked anxiously
I mean food. You can tell cooks whatever you want on the table. I will inform Sophia as well. She will be with you. Leonardo said
Thank you. Ava replied with a calm face.
Leonardo walked into the study room for his office work. He was going through thoughts of beauteous Ava. he couldn't focus on his work.
What will you do? You promised me that you will fix it! Tell me. Either you are the person who doesn't want to apart cunning snake and my love? Emma shouted at Sophia as she entered the room
If you were a little more careful. Sophia said
It couldn't be. I lost that damn file. I can't tolerate that Ava prowling around like the lady of this mansion. Do you know this? Emma cried
Emma if you do something now…. Sophia said. Emma interrupted.
Don't distract me anymore with your words. Just tell me what you planned to separate Ava and Leonardo? Let me listen to your plan then. Tell me. I am ready to do everything. I can do everything. Emma shouted
So I am going to tell you that you have to wait a bit now. Sophia said
I can't wait. Even I can't bear that woman walking to Leonardo's room all the time. Emma said
What do you expect me to do now? You already paid enough attention to Leonardo before the wedding. If we make move now his patience will run out. You must understand this. If you don't want to make a mistake that is not irremediable. You have to wait. That's all! Sophia shouted.
But what I have seen a moment before. I see how you distracted me. You accepted Ms Ava as your sister-in-law. You called her mistress of this mansion. My ears didn't hear someone else except you. You made me a fool. Actually, Emma has to fend for herself. Your place is already strong. Emma shouted
Stop being silly. Sophia said
Am I being silly when I tell you the truth? I wish you the happiness of Ms Ava and Mrs Sophia. You accepted your defeat. Huh! Bravo! Emma shouted
It all happened because of you. Understood? If you didn't lose that file. She would have gotten out of here. And now, if I do the same stupid things, we can lose everything. Did you understand? Are you taking your medicines? Sophia asked angrily.
I am getting my meds. Don't worry. Don't fear that your happiness with your sister will deteriorate. Emma shouted
Get out and get fresh air. I can't deal, with you. Maybe you recover with the air then. Get out. Sophia shouted and pulled her out of the room
Leonardo went into the kitchen and sat on the chair. He didn't keep his eyes away from beauteous Ava. She was getting nervous. Leonardo's coffee got cold. He didn't bother that. Millie whispered in Ava's ear. She told Ava that "Mr Leonardo loves her a lot and that's why he couldn't keep his eyes away from her. He was drinking cold coffee as she lost in her beauty". Leonardo noticed Millie. He took his laptop and went out. Ava was doing hesitantly. But Leonardo was confident about his will and activities. He was doing everything in real that Ava was thinking as it was true later it was a formality as Leonardo always changes the direction of his truth somewhere. Leonardo was looking at Ava's wedding pictures. Lucas came.
My aunt! She is really looking like the princess of a fairytale. Lucas said
Leonardo look behind and Ava was standing there.
I was choosing pictures for social media. Leonardo justified.
I see. Ava said and went into the room
He was looking at my photo. Ava thought. Meanwhile, Leonardo came to the room. He saw Ava's face blushing
Did she see that I was looking at her photo? Yes, she realized that was why her face is blushing. Leonardo thought while looking at Ava. Ava quickly went into the bathroom. Both hearts were beating for the same cause behind the door. Leonardo couldn't confess the truth. Ava couldn't listen to that due to shyness. she needed Leonardo's strong wings around her to listen to that.
What am I doing? Like this? Why? I should go to my uncle and should share this. Leonardo thought.
Uncle! I am not used to things that are beyond my control. Leonardo shared his anxiety.
Couldn't rule your heart. She has seen this right? Did you come here to hide from her? When the invisible revealed itself, you couldn't stay home. Right? Could you? Without letting go of your tongue, and your heart, you can't walk this way son. The time has come. Mr Francis said
What if? Leonardo asked
You are scared of making it all go bust. Are you son? Don't be scared of this. It will not. Even if your tongues are silent, your heart is speaking. Whenever I see both sides by side I am hearing it. What your tongue cannot say, your hearts are saying to each other. Don't close your ears anymore. You two have to hide what you already know. It is time to find out the truth, son. Mr Francis said. Leonardo looked around and went to the mansion.
Is there any problem? You look thoughtful. Ava asked
There is something important that I must decide. Something is very important. Leonardo said
I hope you will make the right decision. You sit with guests. I am coming too. Ava said
Everyone started dinner. Ava made delicious meals. Everyone enjoyed. Leonardo noticed Ava was taking care of everything during dinner in front of everyone.
I hope dinner went well. Leonardo said
Yes. Thank you it was great. But before dinner when you came back you were thoughtful. You weren't bored. Did you? Ava asked
I wasn't bored even though my problem was solved I had in my mind at that time. Leonardo said
It's so cold. Let's go inside. Ava said
I want to talk to you about something. Leonardo stopped her
I have jobs to do, can we talk later? Ava said and went inside.
Ms Ava, Mr Leonardo is waiting for you. Watson came and said
Okay. Ava got frozen in her place. Leonardo was waiting for her in the room.
Did you call me? Ava asked. Leonardo couldn't stop to look
There is something important I want to tell you. What I need to talk about is important as it will affect our lives. In fact, I had to talk about this with you before. It didn't happen.
It's too hot here. Let's open the window.
You can open it later. But the thing I want to tell you will not last long. Ava closed her eyes and took a deep breath. I… I want to tell you that I am ….
Leonardo was about to confess his truth as both listened to the screams of Emma going out of the mansion
I cannot tolerate this. She is a cunning snake she will get out of this mansion. Ava is making a fool. Leonardo should listen to me. I am not wrong. She is evil. Demon deceived Leonardo with her lies.
Shut up, Emma. Someone will listen! Stop! Sophia slapped her face
Enough! I don't care if someone listens. That snake will come out of this mansion! And I will send her with my own hands to the mud where she was born. She will go back to her dirty life. She has already gathered her prints in the mansion. That influenced everything and everyone. She captured Leonardo and every one with her lies. Leonardo, I want you to listen to me. She is a cunning snake!
Emma!! What is happening here? Leonardo roared and kick the door.
Look, Leonardo. this girl is cheating on you. This girl is fooling everyone. The girl is a devil with an angel face. She is not the same as she seems. Do you know? I swear. I have proof. But I lost all. I tell you everything one by one.
Emma shut up! Sophia dragged her
Leave me. Let me tell him the truth.
Leonardo, you must know. Nothing is equal to what you know. The snake is called Ava... Emma tried to talk
Emma!!! By what right you dare you to speak like this? Know your limits. Leonardo roared
I understand you. You're spellbound. She bewitched you. That witch hunted you. You went blind. But don't worry. Listen to me for once. I will help you. Emma said
Listen to me well now. You won't say a single word anymore. You will leave this mansion in the morning. I don't want to see you with my family again. Never! Leonardo roared again. Sophia felt the floor go absent under her feet. She ran towards Leonardo
Leonardo listen! Sophia cried
Leonardo! Please don't do this. Please forgive me. Don't kick her out. Please! She begged. Ava was standing in front of both of them outside Emma's room.
She will be leaving this house in the early morning and this is my final decision. Leonardo said angrily.
But… Sophia tried to speak
It is my decision. Leonardo said. He held Ava's hand and went back to his room.
Emma said everything didn't seem normal. This might happened because maybe she is not mentally healthy. It's not sound like good mental health. But kicking her out of the mansion is not an option. Ava tried to make Leonardo calm and change the decision. She didn't know the real snakes were poisoning her happiness and she wanted to give them shelter under her kind wings.
She deserves more. No one can speak about my wife like this. Leonardo said angrily.
How is, that a fake marriage? It doesn't suit you to react as much.
Real or on paper. You are Leonardo Benjamin's wife. No one can dare to talk to his wife like this. who dares pay for it? Leonardo said angrily.
I see. Ava said hesitantly
Don't worry anymore. Leonardo said
Want something? Ava asked
No. I am going to the garden for arrow shooting. Leonardo said and went out.
Ava felt secure under Leonardo's wings. She couldn't confess in front of him. She had a feeling that Leonardo might confess his feeling for her. She went onto the balcony and looked at angry Leonardo shooting arrows so fast. He couldn't control his anger. Ava went downstairs to give him water.
When you came here? Leonardo looked at Ava who was standing and looking at him anxiously.
Not so long. Ava replied
You are so cold. Leonardo put his hand on Ava's cheek. He took his muffler that he put around his neck and made Ava wear that. Ava felt so comfortable. She smiled while Leonardo was setting her hair and muffler.
You should go inside. It's so cold. Leonardo said
Then you will also get cold. Ava said
Don't worry. I am good here. I will come later. You may go and sleep. It's late now. Leonardo said. Ava turned and smiled again and went inside.
Leonardo came into the room early in the morning. He saw Ava was sleeping as she left him in the garden with his muffler without a blanket over. Leonardo looked at her and cover her with a blanket. Ava's eyes opened when she saw Leonardo taking off his shoes as Ava woke up.
Did you come now? Ava asked. Leonardo nodded his head.
Did you shoot arrows all night? Ava asked
Yes. Everything is happening. In the end, peace in the place where you come to rest is important. I could tell you last night. My words were incomplete. Leonardo said
Oh, I will check Lucas. Ava ran out of his room quickly.
Will he say this time? How much longer I can run like this? Ava mumbled. She came back to the room.
Everything should be as it is. As real as we are. Look your new identity card has reached. Leonardo said
Ava Benjamin. Ava read
Yes. Ava Benjamin. You are us now. Leonardo said. Ava looked around with shyness. She was taking deep breaths to calm herself.
Get ready. We will be going for dinner outside. Leonardo said. Ava's facial expression changed
But Lucas. Ava looked around
Don't worry. You get ready. Leonardo said.
Leonardo was looking at beauteous Ava while she was drinking water
"I shouldn't hide my feeling from you. I should tell you right now right here" Leonardo thought
Do you think this dinner was important? We conceived the majority. Why did we come here? All are unfamiliar people. Ava said
The moment without familiar people is more important. Leonardo said
Hmm…
Us! I mean you and me. We are known as husband and wife. Media, and social media all know us. Everyone's eyes are on us. We have to do these things more. To make this marriage more real. So I mean you and me. I wanted to talk about something. I… you… Ava's glass cracked on the floor in hesitation to listen to his truth.
Are you okay? Leonardo asked
Yes. I am going to the bathroom to dry it. She came back and started eating quickly. Leonardo couldn't keep his eyes away from her. Ava noticed him but didn't speak.
Now I have to do what is necessary. Actually, I was going to tell you before I am going to tell you now. But there is always something to prevent it. For me, this marriage is absolutely…. The musician came over his head and Leonardo stopped. Ava was smiling at that moment caused to get comfortable. He stood for a long time.
Huh. He made a concert. Leonardo said
It was beautiful. Isn't so? Ava asked and smiled
I was saying that every time it gets delayed when I get a moment to tell you this. I want to tell you now before it gets delayed again that ... sorry Mr Leonardo for interrupting you. I wanted to pay you thanks myself for coming to my restaurant first time after your wedding. You both are really nice. I wish you a happy and love-lasting life ahead.
Thank you. Leonardo said. His mood was a bit spoiled as he couldn't confess his truth to Ava.
Let's go. Leonardo raised his hand. Ava held his hand and went out.
Why did we come here? Ava asked
Because you like the sea and stars and both are here. Let's sit here. Leonardo said
I changed in the past few months. I was a rock. But I changed when you come into my life. I wanted to tell you that…. The phone bell rang. Leonardo didn't attend as he wanted to confess at the moment. At the same moment, the message notification bell rang.
"Leonardo, Emma is badly injured due to a car accident. I am taking her to the hospital"
What! Leonardo and ava ran to the hospital. Sophia saw Leonardo. she ran towards him and hugged him tightly.
"Leonardo save my sister. I will die either"
Calm down, sister. tell me from first. How did it happen?
When you ordered her to leave the mansion. she left in the early morning. I called her the entire day she didn't respond. Then I received a call that she caught a car accident. there is no one in my life except her.
Calm down. She will get well soon.
Ava stepped forward. She hugged Sophia and wished for Emma's speedy recovery. Sophia wanted to kill Ava for a moment but she pretended to be thankful. Later, the doctor came and told me that Emma's condition was out of danger.
She is a good driver. She has never been in any accident. after the last event, she was not herself. After these things happened. I wished they didn't happen. She is a sensitive and proud child. She couldn't stand. Leonardo, you don't feel bad. That was fate. Sophia tried to make Leonardo ashamed of his act.
Come on let's sit. Ava said
I will bring coffee for you, sister. Leonardo said and went out
Everything happened because of me.
Do not think that way. I told you before that she grew up in great pain. I raised her with difficulties. Leonardo was the person who take care of us. We only trust him as a family. Her fears make her mistaken. You don't feel guilty. Sophia said. Ava couldn't see her crying. She went out with tearful eyes.
What happened to your hand? How it's burned? Ava quickly held his hand to observe
Nothing coffee fell off while I was drinking. Leonardo said. He actually threw in anger as he felt guilty after thinking about Sophia's words.
Let's put cream as …. Ava said. Leonardo took back his hand
Don't need it. Don't exaggerate. Ava's mood was turned off. She managed to relax and Leonardo for that time.
Don't blame yourself for this. I have talked with Sophia many times. She told me that she had many problems. Ava said
Sometimes you do everything you can do. But it wouldn't be enough. You take all risks to protect your family. But you can't protect them. Leonardo said
You are wrong. This family is standing with you. If we are strong and together. It's because of you. We feel safe because you are with us. You put yourself at risk for the protection of your family. That's why you are wrong. Ava said
Sophia was known for Ava's kind behaviour. She cried in a way so Ava asked Leonardo to give permission to Emma to live in the mansion. She knew that Ava's words are Leonardo's as well. She played with Ava. Ava was innocent and kind heart she was not known how two snakes were taking her happiness and peaceful events of life from her. Leonardo agreed with Ava. Sophia met Emma and cried a lot. Leonardo came back to the mansion. He saw Ava prepare his bedding on the couch. He sat there. Ava put ointment on his burned hand. Leonardo looked at beauteous Ava. She was not known about her mood. She was smiling while looking at Leonardo.
I … You… Leonardo tried to confess his truth.
What about you? You will tell me now? Ava thought
It is very difficult. When you look into my eyes. It seems difficult. Leonardo thought
You look tired. You better go to sleep for a few hours. Leonardo said and went to in next room.
This one! This he wanted to say? Ava thought. She stood up and went to her bed.
What happened to Leonardo Benjamin? Why did you stop you could have confessed it now. You get time. Leonardo thought. He went back to his room he found Ava sleeping.
Oh, God! Leonardo mumbled.
When I will make this happen? I am feeling a burden on my heart now. Leonardo thought. He lay on the couch and kept looking at sleeping beauty. He slept while looking at her. Both hearts were beating the same.
