Leonardo received a parcel in the evening, he opened the envelope. A white card came out with a few words
"There is more than will come to you, you need to know about the truths. This is a clue" it was written on the card
Leonardo turned around. He lost his mental condition for a moment. It was a picture of Ava with Aiden. Same as the pictures that Emma gave him in the file. In the delivered picture with that note. Ava was slapping Aiden in anger. Leonardo received a call at that moment
Mr Leonardo. The detective Mr Bora speaking. I hope you received the parcel. There is more to tell you about this.
Who are you? Leonardo asked
Don't bother me. I am a detective hired by Ms Emma. Wait for my next call. Call dropped.
Leonardo tried to connect the call with that man but failed. He quickly went in the room to match the picture's differences. He found no difference in both pictures. He doubted once that it may be a trap. Later he thought to investigate the truth behind it.
Did you trap me? Are you a liar? Are you innocent? Who are you? Am I wrong? Are you right? I will be silent until I find the truth. This photo gave me hope! I will not break my hope. But what if I broke again in finding the truth? What I will do? Why I turned towards you again? Leonardo thought while looking at sleeping Ava on the couch. He went outside. He spent the day time at the mansion with Lucas and Ava and the entire night outside the mansion. It went on for a few days. Ava waited for him. She couldn't sleep well in his absence. She was curious about his behaviour. One day Ava asked Leonardo to take her to Mrs Jasmine's house. He dropped her there. Leonardo listened to their conversation unwillingly. Ava cried in front of her aunt. She blamed Leonardo for deceiving her. Leonardo wondered about the words she said to Mrs Jasmine. He thought for a moment that Ava can be innocent as well. Sophia warned Aiden about the expectation of being exposed to Leonardo. So she asked him to leave the country immediately. Leonardo went to Aiden's studio unwillingly. Aiden thought Leonardo may catch the truth he ran away. Leonardo tried to follow him but he flee abroad at that moment. He asked Frank to investigate that. Ava wanted to confess her truth in front of Leonardo. Leonardo thought that Ava may flee later, and he reacted worse to her. She was unable to confess her feeling for him as she got scared of his behaviour.
Tell me what you are hiding. Leonardo roared
My secret was that I believed in you. But I couldn't say it to you. You told "everybody believed in this game you too" you are true. I believed in you because you saved me even if your hands were torn, even if you went out of breath. I believed in a man who was breathing with me while I was out of breath. I believed in a man who held the pen so tight so it may not break that I gifted to him. But you broke everything. You can insult me if you want. You can laugh at me if you want. But I believed in you for real. I fell fast from the place you left me. This was a secret I hid. I hope you learned it well. There is nothing more. I want peace just for Lucas. Thanks for listening peacefully. Ava said. She wiped her tears and went onto the terrace. She broke down and cried loudly.
Leonardo took a deep breath. He looked at Ava from the balcony
I want to believe. In your tears, in your innocence. I want to believe. Leonardo mumbled.
Frank inform me about that man. The detective man is injured. This investigation is for Lucas. This is for his aunt if you want to turn the world upside down. But give me that man. . Find out the fact as soon as possible. Leonardo roared. Ava heard his words and went curious about his behaviour.
Adam, I need your help urgently. I have to reach someone with the phone tracking. Leonardo said
I didn't understand. Adam asked
For my marriage. Leonardo said
I can't give you without knowing the reason. Adam said
I have no time. I am asking for our own good. I gave everything to her. I changed my world… don't ask questions. Trust me as you trust her. I am asking this for her and both our marriage from harm. Help me, please. Leonardo requested for the first time.
I am warning you if you will be the opposite. You will find me in front of you. Adam said
I will not degrade. Leonardo said.
In the evening, Leonardo received Adam's message. The man was found in the jungle. Leonardo ran quickly. He reached the location
Bora! Bora!! Where are you?
Sophia's man shot him in the jungle and left him there. He heard Leonardo's voice. He tried to speak but couldn't. He took his cigarettes and lighter threw all cigarettes over the grass and switch the fire. Leonardo ran here and there for half hour. He felt fire somewhere and ran there. He found Bora there.
Bora. Say something. Tell me to open your eyes. Open your eyes! Speak some
The... bora pointed his finger in the north direction and loosed his body grip…. bora passed away.
No!! No! Leonardo screamed. Later, Leonardo noticed the Bora finger's direction. It was a room on the hill. He looked everywhere and started climbing the hill. He found a blood shirt. "he was here" Leonardo mumbled.
He hid something here. I am sure he left his trace here. He had. I will find out. I will find the truth. Leonardo said. He started looking everywhere. He got tired. Once he sat up on the ground. Then he thought not to stop. He again started searching things around. He saw a wall covered with a frame. He took away the frame and cracked it on the ground. A card bag slipped from the frame
"Original files"
"Edward and Sons, Handwriting expert, United States" Leonardo read a card
He saw a paper of Ava's diary in that envelope.
In another envelope, he found pictures of Ava's and Aiden's meeting. He came to know that Aiden held Ava forcibly.
He found a device. He switched on the device and started listening to all
"I love you. I hid this all the time but I cannot do that any longer. I want you to know without getting late. Aiden said
You are not serious. Ava's voice came
No, I am serious. Moreover, as much as I haven't been before. Look if you are worried about Lucas's future and if you are living in that house, I have money too. Don't marry that guy. Don't make such a mistake. Aiden said
Am I looking at a bad dream? This is not you or this is you? Do you hear what are you saying Aiden? I am about to get married and you make me come here with your lies. And telling me this? Do you have no respect for me? What we lived? You lost all respect for me. I can't stay here any longer. Ava's voice came
Wait don't go. Aiden voice came
Never call me again Aiden. Never. Ava's voice came"
Oh god! What did I do? What I did do? It was all fake! She…. She… is innocent …Leonardo screamed. He had a flashback of Ava's begging him to know his behaviour reason. Leonardo broke down
From night to dawn, Ava waited for Leonardo. He didn't return to the mansion. Ava had a lot of different misunderstandings about his stay out of the mansion. She couldn't breathe in the mansion. She went out after asking Watson to look after Lucas in her absence.
Leonardo threw the device on the floor. A recording played it was a different recording.
"Ms Emma, you took all advantage. Your payment is remaining. You are deceiving me now.
While I pay the account, do you think that you will just watch? Okay. Leonardo will ruin me after he knows everything in the file is fake. But I will not be alone there. You made all of these files to slander his wife. It wasn't me only. You will burn with me as well. It was Emma's voice"
Leonardo screamed as loud as he could so. He couldn't believe that he ruined his life whereas Ava begged him. He took all his stuff and ran to the mansion.
Emma, take these tickets and run. Hurry up. I am sure he will come house immediately. Sophia said
Sister, please. Emma cried
You have ten minutes. Catch your plane. Hurry up before his arrival. Sophia said and went out.
Leonardo opened the door of the mansion like a tsunami.
Emma!!!! He shouted and ran into Emma's room.
Sophia hid behind the pillar. He shut the door.
Leo-Leonardo… Emma started shivering
How you became the devil? Like this? Did you have any honour? Why did you slander my wife? To my honour. So you tried to escape from the mansion. Leonardo roared
Sister, save me sister save me!! I will die!! Emma shouted.
Sophia ran inside.
Leonardo, what happened? Sophia exaggerated
Ask your sister, who is prideless, honour less, a disgusting liar she is. She trapped Ava.
Sister tell him! Emma asked
How dare you, Emma? She slapped her face
She knew everything. She made me do so. Leonardo Sophia made me this. Emma cried
Shush!! Shut up! Sophia slapped tightly on her face
I have evidence of your crime. You will get punishment. Come here. Leonardo dragged crying helpless Emma downstairs.
Sister, tell him. You made me do so. Emma shouted
The evidence is only pointing at you. You are a criminal. Leonardo roared
Leonardo, leave me. I did nothing. Leonardo pulled her out of the mansion. The Police arrested her and drove to the police station.
Everyone was uneasy and unhappy, she did evil she got right. James mumbled
Ava went to Leonardo's office, his childhood house but she didn't find him. She was worried about his absence. He went to the police station. She asked Adam to tell her about him. But he reacted as if he didn't know his activity from the past few days.
Leonardo went into his room. He took Ava's coat from the couch. He had hallucinations of Ava's presence and his torture. He wanted to stop Leonardo from hallucination to stop him from doing torture but when he reached bed Ava was gone.
Ava came back to the mansion in the evening. She found Leonardo in front of him with archery equipment. Both were silent. Both wanted each other to speak. Leonardo couldn't speak due to regret. He was afraid if he tell her the truth he might make him lose her forever. Leonardo came back to his room. Ava was sleeping. He wanted to tell her. But when he perceived the conversation he thought of losing his love. He took that file and tore it off. Threw in the bin. He regretted believing others than Ava. Ava woke up. Leonardo was sitting on his bed in front of her. As Ava opened her eyes, Leonardo ran outside. Sophia took advantage of the moment and went into Ava's room.
How are you my darling? Sophia asked
I am good. But why you are crying? Ava asked
Emma got arrested yesterday. She did a crime. Sophia said
What she did do? Ava asked
She is involved in crime for our company. Leonardo entered and lied.
Sophia agreed by looking at Leonardo's facial expressions. She quickly went out
Get ready we will go to the seaside with Lucas. Leonardo said
Ava wondered about his behaviour. Leonardo bought a red heart made of foam and fur. And gave to Ava. Ava felt weird about the instant change.
What's going on? What's changed? There is no one except Lucas. Then what you are pretending a real one? What is a new plan to hurt me? Is there something you want to tell me? Do you want to fall me again from the highest? You will push me again from the cliff. I want to tell you that if you have such a plan to do so then please do it. I am already drowned. Don't hurt me. Please. I have no more stamina to stand up like before.
It is true. It is real. I do never do things that could hurt you. Leonardo said
Is it a dream or nightmare over?!! Ava wondered about his past behaviour.
Ava came back to the mansion. She couldn't breathe. She went outside for a walk. She found a bag near a bin. She took that to throw in the bin and ripped photos of her falling from that bag. She took the bag and collect the stuff from the ground. She sat on a side of the road and started making all papers and cards together so she found photos of Ava and Aiden meeting. She made every paper settled. And came to know about letters, receipts and every fake proof provided to Leonardo. She became dizzy. She switched on the device and wondered about words she didn't use in meetings that were also gathered. She had flashbacks of Leonardo's torture for a few weeks. He put all the ripped and torn pieces in her coat pockets and walked towards the mansion.
Watson, where is she? Leonardo asked
She went on a walk. Watson replied.
What about decoration? Leonardo asked
Everything is going well. It will be ready before she reaches the mansion. Watson said
Leonardo decorated his room with Ava's favourite flowers. He put his heart and Ava's favourite book on the bed. He was anxiously waiting for Ava to confess his truth and mistake both at that moment.
