Leonardo found Ava in his room. He insulted her loudly. Emma and Sophia heard their harsh conversation and got relaxed. Ava replied after feeling Lucas's happiness. She cried again at Leonardo's strict behaviour. Though Ava answered Leonardo's questions with confidence she couldn't cope with the shock Leonardo gave her as a deceiver.
Whatever son you tell me. I am a witness of that girl. She can never be like you telling me. You are in love with each other. Mr Francis said
I am Leonardo Benjamin. I erased her from my life. She has no place neither in my heart nor in my house. She will pay for betrayals and lies. I will take Lucas from her life. She will regret the day she entered the mansion. Leonardo said
You are angry now but…
It is not time for speaking. The proofs were enough. Leonardo stood up without listening to his uncle.
What fuels the fire of your hate, the greatness of your love, my son? I wish you can see the truth. Mr Francis mumbled.
Leonardo forcibly made Ava stay in his room. She couldn't breathe there. She argued a lot. But Leonardo gave his words as final. Ava drank all the bitterness for the sake of Lucas. Ava lay on the couch. She couldn't bear Leonardo around him. Leonardo lay on his bed in anger. It was difficult for both to sleep in the same room. Leonardo woke up in the early morning. He found the couch was tidied up. He quickly went to the terrace he relaxed after looking at Ava walking in the garden.
"I will take Lucas from here. I can't stay in this hell" Ava mumbled. She went back to her room.
What are these? Leonardo asked
These are your things. Ava replied
These are yours. Leonardo threw it on the floor
I bought these for you. I did. Leonardo Benjamin bought it. These are alms for you from the guy who dared to challenge. You will keep it as long as I say the opposite. You won't throw anything I gave to you. Only I will take it when the time will come. I don't want such a cheap bluff again. Leonardo said. Ava stared at him with anger silently. As they went out of their rooms Leonardo's behaviour changed. He held Ava's hand and went to the breakfast table. Leonardo gave Emma permission to join the company again. Emma exaggerated her thanks note. Ava was saddened by Leonardo's reactions.
What brother and sister are talking about? Leonardo asked
Nothing. Adam came to give me my shawl. Ava said
How's your marital life going? Adam asked
I think it would never be better than this. A new life started for both of us. It is beautiful. This shawl changes the colour of your eyes. It suits you. Leonardo said
I better go now. Adam said as he looked at Leonardo's romance.
Don't tell anyone a single word. Otherwise, I will make you regret every moment. Leonardo said and held her waist tightly. Ava looked at him and walked towards the front door.
How beautiful a couple you both became. I wish both of you happiness and love like this. Adam said and went out. Leonardo closed the door and released Ava with a jerk and anger. Ava looked at him with a painful face. Ava ran into the room quickly with anger. Frank reported to Leonardo about zero proceedings for Lucas's custody. He warned Frank to solve his problem as soon as possible.
Leonardo. I want to say something. Don't get angry with me. I don't believe it still. I have seen in her eyes. I have seen her doing an effort for your release from jail. I remember how she convinced the witness. She is… Frank said
She is a liar. She wanted to marry Leonardo Benjamin. She is a deceiver. Leonardo said angrily.
Emma took advantage of Leonardo's absence she went into his room and broke the frame of his wedding. She insulted Ava and went out. Ava felt bad. She tried to stand up from the couch but was stuck there with a broken heart. Glass pieces were scattered on the floor. The sky went dark. Ava took pebbles and an eternity sign from the drawer. Her heart was not leading her to believe in Leonardo's words.
So you still remember? Do you still have empty dreams?
I have no dreams about you. I keep them from forgetting how you cheated on me. Just to remind yourself. Ava said
I always treat people as they deserve. And you deserve worse. And I am bearing for Lucas. Otherwise… Leonardo dragged her to the wall and held her arms tightly. He was roaring as Lucas came inside.
Can my aunt tell me a fairy tale? Lucas entrapped
No beetroot! I will tell you a fairytale today. Your aunt is busy at the moment. Come on. Leonardo said.
It is a tale about fighting an enemy that looked so close. Gained his trust and betrayed him.
But the giant defeated all evil, are there still other enemies?
The giant thought like you. He thought he defeated all. He didn't notice that his greatest enemy was next to him. Because like all evils she wears a mask. This mask deceived the diva. Because of his trust, he stopped protecting himself. Thanks to the enemy knew all his weaknesses. That made it easier for her to hurt him. She hurt him a lot as he got injured badly. But don't worry giant is so big. There will come a time when his enemy will pay for everything she has done. In the end, the giant will avenge all of his sufferings. He will win the war. Because he learned a good lesson from his mistake. He won't trust anyone now. I don't think there's any reason to be afraid. The giant will win his war. Leonardo told him his inner tale. After he fell asleep. He went into his room. He heard Ava's words.
"I am living in this hell because of you my sweetheart, he deceived me. I endure all these insults for you, my love. There is no other reason just you" Ava was crying badly while talking about Lucas's photo"
He sat up in the study room. he remaindered Mr Francis's words.
Calm down Leonardo for Lucas! Leonardo mumbled
He went into the room. He hit Ava. Ava's book fell down that she took on her honeymoon. Chamomile dry flowers fell down. She took that and put it in the book again.
These are? Leonardo asked. Ava went into the bathroom without replying to him. Aiden messaged Ava
"Ava doesn't bother anything. I am always with you. I am always for you" Leonardo read his message and ran out of the mansion. Ava was not known why he ran so quickly. She was not known that Aiden message her. "She is a traitor. I will not leave her like this. I will take Lucas from her if she is living for that man" Leonardo mumbled in anger.
Ava woke up she opened her phone. The message screen was already opened. She read Aiden's messages.
I wish I could kill you! Ava mumbled with anger. She went downstairs. Emma was feeding Lucas. Slowly everyone left the table and Ava stayed alone. She didn't eat anything and went upstairs. Leonardo went into the room. He found Ava's mobile. He checked the screen again and reminded Aiden's messages.
So you deleted messages from your lover. So you are a professional player to remove shreds of evidence. Leonardo mumbled in anger. Ava went into Lucas's room. Lucas was already playing with his uncle. He wanted both with him. Ava also pretended with lies as Leonardo was doing so.
Why not dear? I will be with you. We will fly together. Don't worry. I will never leave you. Ava hugged Lucas as he asked questions.
Don't be so sure. Leonardo whispered and went downstairs.
Emma exaggerated her fake happiness with Lucas. Leonardo thought something and asked Emma to spend the entire day with Lucas and look after him.
What did you mean I didn't go into the room? Will you complain to me? Did you want to say something? No one will know anything. Everyone will think everything is fine that I said. Lift and bend. Leonardo took off his coat. Ava looks at him with anger. Leonardo quickly went downstairs. Ava took his coat and hung it on the stand. She went downstairs to the hall.
Did something happen beauty? You would have called me. Leonardo exaggerated in front of Sophia
If you have time. I will ask you something. Ava said
No need for formality. Come here. Leonardo smiled
Okay, Leonardo, I will check with James. You guys talk with each other. Sophia went inside.
Actually, Millie needed permission for registration….
Who are you? Do you think that you are a lady of this mansion? Leonardo asked angrily
No me. But everyone thinks so. Ava said
You will know your place. Leonardo said rudely.
Emma got ready with Leonardo to go outside. Leonardo thought something and asked Emma to stay with him.
Aunt, what jobs do you have here? Will you not come with us? Lucas asked while Ava came downstairs and looked at them going outside.
Leonardo come, Emma said
You sit in the car. I am coming. Leonardo said
Ava looked at Leonardo with anger and went into the room. He didn't inform Ava about his plan.
Leonardo flashed back himself proofs and messages. He decided to lock Ava in the mansion and make her away from Lucas as much as possible.
Ava was huffing with anger in the room when Leonardo entered. He held Ava's arm tightly.
Did you think that I would go by leaving you on your own? There is life for your own in this mansion. You won't go out of this mansion. You will shut your mouth and wait until I come. Leonardo roared and shut the door. He locked.
What are you doing? Why are you crazy?
Shut your mouth. If someone knew what was happening here. You will pay for it. Leonardo shouted.
You can't take my Lucas from me. Ava cried.
Leonardo went park with Emma and Lucas. Lucas missed his aunt a lot. Little Lucas was not known about his uncle's brutality toward his aunt. Leonardo had flashbacks of the time he spent with Ava and Lucas in that park. Lucas went upset later. Emma took advantage and talked with Leonardo. She tricked and took a selfie. She sent that picture to Sophia. Lucas wanted to pee. Leonardo and Emma didn't bother. He did pee in his pants. Tears came out of his eyes. He missed his aunt so badly. Sophia called Emma
Oh wow! It will make it easy to get rid of Ava as soon as possible. We played well. Sophia said. She turned around a gardener was pouring water on plants. She went frozen in her place.
Who are you? What are you doing here? Why you don't reply? Hello!! Sophia shouted
Ms Sophia! He is a new Gardner. He is mute himself. He doesn't know how to speak, read or write.
Ah! I see. So pity. By the way handsome. Sophia said. She took a deep breath and went inside.
Leonardo came back mansion. Emma went into her room. Leonardo went into his study room. Lucas got saddened. He took off his coat and threw it on the floor. He ran to Ava's room.
Aunt you there? Lucas cried
Lucas! My heart. Ava cried
Look what happened. Open the door. Lucas cried
Tell me what happened why are you crying? Ava asked
Aunt, I can't tell it's awful. Lucas cried
My heart I can't open the door. I am sorry. I beg you to go to your room. Ava cried
Aunt, please. Open the door. Lucas cried and went to his room.
This is enough!! Ava screamed. She dialled calls to Leonardo. He didn't respond to her.
Ah my, Lucas! I have to come out for you. Ava cried
'If you will not open the door. My screams will tear this mansion on your head"
If her unchaste could be proved. Your hand will be very strong for the custody case. I mean, if it is proved that she cheated on her husband while she is married can be proved. If you want I can hire a detective to follow her now. Frank said
When the time will come. I will take care of that. Leonardo said
Leonardo received Ava's message.
Are you okay? Frank asked
We will talk later. Leonardo said and ran upstairs.
Who are you? Are you threatening me? Leonardo opened the door and shouted.
Ava pulled Leonardo with anger and ran into Lucas's room
Tell me my heart what happened? Why are you crying? Ava asked. Lucas showed his wet pants.
Don't you love me anymore? Lucas asked
I love you so much my life. Ava said
You don't stay with me. Lucas said
I will. I am. Moreover, doesn't matter what it will cost. I will never leave you alone again. I promise you. Come on let's clean your clothes. Ava said. She took him and turned. Leonardo was standing there. Ava looked at him with anger and went to the bathroom. Leonardo looked at the bathroom door and went out in thought.
Ava spent time with Lucas. She made him sleep. She thought something and went into Leonardo's room.
How could you do that? You insulted me, I became silent. You humiliated me, I became silent. I avoided seeing and said patience for everything you have done until today. For Lucas only. What was the purpose to lock me in the room? I am not your slave. I am not an animal that you can lock in a cage. Do you know what happened when you locked me? Lucas needed my help and I could go to him. I am living for him. But because of you, I couldn't be with him. Even I can't give my life for him. I was not there when he needed me. You can do everything to me but you can't take Lucas from me. Ok. Okay, I have fallen/ you made me fall from that highest. Okay. I am in your cage. Okay, you won. But you can't take Lucas from me. If I become silent against all of these it is just because of Lucas. It is for him. If I keep playing your dirty games. The only reason that is he. And don't forget. If there is something about Lucas you need me as much as I need you. From now on you will be completely different Ava here. Neither my bond to Lucas nor my honour, I won't let you crush them. It is the end of the road. It is over now. Don't dare to be in between me and Lucas. Never dare to take him away from me. Ava shouted with tearful eyes.
You can't talk to me like this. Leonardo followed and held her arm tightly
Then. What will you do? Will you kill me? Will you hang me? Cut me? What will you do? Or will you lock me some there as you did today? As you did it before. You killed me once with your lies. You cannot do it any longer. No matter what will you do! I don't care what you do. For Lucas, if it will be a need, I can fight against you until the last drop of my blood. Ava took a jerked and released her arm and went into the garden. Leonardo kept looking in wonder. he couldn't understand Ava straight and the way she talk to him by looking into his eyes and standing in front of him confidently. He started breaking things in the room.
Not I but you trapped me. But I know what to do. Leonardo mumbled. He was not known that he was wrong.
Ava made Lucas sleep at night and went into the garden again as she couldn't breathe in the room. Leonardo made himself busy with office work. He wanted to check on Ava as she was not in the garden. He ran out of his room quickly. He investigated Watson. He reported that Ava was in the garden. He got angry as he didn't find her there. Meanwhile, he saw Ava going upstairs. He went back to his study room. Ava came and took her night clothes.
Where? He asked angrily.
I am going to Lucas. He is restless after that incident. I will sleep with him tonight. Ava said and went out. Leonardo stood up to talk to her. But Ava was gone. He sat up on his chair.
She is looking at me in a way as if I betrayed her. Not she. How can she stand and speak like I did injustice to her? Whereas, she played behind me. I don't understand this. Leonardo said
If my words will be wrong then forgive me. If people are not right they can't stand so strong like this easily. Watson said
You are looking at her innocent. But I know her real face under several masks. You can go now. Leonardo said
I am sorry sweetheart. I told you I had job to do. That's why. Come on. Don't make me sad. I will not leave you. I promise. I will go with you next time. There is nothing more valuable to me than you. Ava cried.
Can we play puzzles together tomorrow? Lucas asked
Sure my heart. We will. Ava kissed him. She made him sleep. She opened the browser and searched about lawyers and custody. While she thought a lot to browse about it. She erased the search and put the phone on the side table. She thought something and slept with Lucas. Ava had something in her mind. She was about to implement something different in the mansion.
