CURTAINS OVER TRUTH

She paled with jealousy after looking at Isabella at the mansion. Now I felt a bit of peace after looking her face down. But I wish…. Emma said

Come here. You have to be strong. I have a good plan for your wish to come true. Sophia said

Sister, stop it. You can't do anything well. How I can get Leonardo while he is going to marry a slum girl? My wish is only to kill her. Emma said angrily.

We will kill her but with my plan. No blood, no knife, no poison and no throat squeezing. We will kill her and bury her. You know her grave will be in Leonardo's heart. She will die for Leonardo. Because Leonardo will very soon discover what a gold digger looks like. We will ruin Leonardo with his terrible mother's past. With his trust issues, he will believe that Ava is like his mother, a gold digger. Sophia said

So how we are going to do all that and Leonardo will never believe us? Emma asked

Not us, my darling. Olivia will tell you that. Look what I have in this bag. Bundles of letters, and a few voice recorders. With these letters, we will work. Sophia said

How? What is written in these letters? Emma asked

It's not important. The important is when using these letters, what we will write in them. So you will ask how? You better know me. I can handle this by giving money to a writing expert, I know him. He is from the United States. In a letter we will write that Olivia asked her to earn Leonardo's love first then capture his fortune later in Ava's writing we will respond to Olivia's letter. These will be our game base. I will inform you of everything, every moment. We have a few days. In these days we will create some tests that prove the things that will be written in these letters. We will build using lies as if Ava wants to get his fortune and marry him for this reason. We will collect everything that will make Leonardo believe in Ava's dual face. That she will capture all his savings and fortune and she will flee with Aiden. We will use the money that Leonardo named for her in a bank account in her name for this purpose to be successful. We will give you some files before the wedding. He will never want to see Ava's face again. Then Leonardo will believe that trash is just as terrible as his mother was. Leonardo will blame himself for believing and trusting that slum girl. He will hate her and hate her for her existence in everything. Therefore, Ava will be dead forever to Leonardo. I will declare to her that Isabella is the ex of Leonardo. So didn't you like my plan? Sophia told her everything and then asked.

This is an insanely best plan. The best I have ever heard. But how we are going to prove that Ava is a gold digger and she will run away with Aiden?

With doubts and evidence. I have planned everything step by step. From bank accounts to the latest, from voice records to photos and videos. We will give good files to Leonardo so his all faith in Ava will crumble. Even if he doesn't want to believe that, will have to believe. You have to always be with Leonardo. Every chance you will get, you will warn him about Ava. Now if you going to ask he scolds you when you are with him or you wanted to talk with him so he doesn't listen to you so I tell you to have to resist. Whatever he will say to you, you will not back down. In fact, he will be mad at you at first, but after looking that you are right, he will start to respect you. You will be there when he will find no one else around him. Look this is a voice recorder. We will get her every moment captured in this device we will get every word get out of her mouth. We will set up the recording segments that we need for our plan to make Leonardo believe her a gold digger and deceiver. We will prepare her end. So you have to be with Ava as well. We will get everything. Let's go into her room and find her writing for our purpose. I will put this voice recorder in the only bag she uses all the time with her. She will never feel it. Come… Sophia said. Both went there. Emma did surveillance around the room until Sophia did her work in Ava's room.

Sophia lied to Ava that Isabella was an ex of Leonardo. Ava felt bad as Isabella was talking to Leonardo without hesitancy.

Come here and sit with us. I was about to discuss the samples. We can check now. Leonardo looked at Ava whose facial angles were changing every second. She step forward and sat with Leonardo.

These look like for someone's wedding preparation. Am I right? Whose wedding? Emma is getting married? Isabella asked in a flow

I was going to tell you when you came. But I didn't get a chance as you flee in your business conversations. Meet my fiancé without knowing her. We are getting married in a few days. Leonardo said

O… Oh! Is this a joke? You? Marriage? Oh! Are you serious? You are really getting married! Woohoo! Leonardo Benjamin is getting married. Didn't you say that marriage is not for you? Didn't you say that you would never trust any woman to marry? What happened to all your harsh rules? Don't get me wrong Ava. I am talking like that but I know him very well as much as my name. If someone will come to me and told me that Leonardo is getting married, I would never believe this. But what suddenly changed Leonardo? Isabella asked with shock

I never should have said never. Leonardo said

Anyways, congratulations Ava, actually name in history will be written that a woman who convinced Leonardo to get married. How did he do that? Did he threaten you with a gun or something? Bravo! Congratulations. Until now there were many who tried, but I have never seen anyone succeed. Isabella said and shook her hand with Ava.

Leonardo looked at Ava. She smiled resisting herself.

You both are so lucky. But you have to be careful as Leonardo's past is full of heartbroken women. Now their attention will be turned to you. He himself is one of the few men who can easily make women love him even though he acts carelessly for them.

Are you okay? Leonardo asked Ava by looking at her mood swings.

I am fine. Ava said

How inconsiderate I am. I have come without notifying you. You are about to get married and you have many preparations to do. I came for a long time back to this country so I will go home now. We will talk at inappropriate times. Isabella said

She looked at both of them. Leonardo went to see off her to the gate. She went back to her room. Leonardo noticed that Ava was upset. He has not known the reason. He didn't know that Ava was sad because of Isabella. Watson came to Ava and gave her a gift box. He told that box was sent by Mrs Jasmine to her. She opened that she found the necklace and earrings of her mother and other stuff of her parents. She was already upset and got more but looking at all that. She took her bag, wore an overcoat and went outside the mansion. She went graveyard.

Dad. I am so sorry. I really miss all of you every moment. I want to tell you that I am getting married. When you will listen to the name of the person to whom I am going to marry you will be hurt. But I have no other way to save Lucas. So I have to marry him. I will marry Leonardo Benjamin. He is changed now. He is not the man who was in past. Please forgive me, daddy. I never do that if Lucas wouldn't in danger. Ava cried badly. She sat there for a few minutes and talked about the grave of his father. She went out of the graveyard she saw Leonardo standing near the gate.

You. Ava said

I told you yesterday, you are in my life now. You will tell your problems because you are not alone anymore. Get used to it. Leonardo said

I came here to talk to my dad. I needed his permission. He never wanted my sister to marry your family. So he couldn't bear me as well. But I made him understand me. I received things from my aunt. Look at this necklace and earrings. My daddy kept it for my wedding he was about to give me these at my wedding. Ava cried.

Keep these with you as a pride given by your father. You will use these with your head held high. You haven't done anything to embarrass your father. Come with me. I need to see and talk with someone as well. You also come with me. Leonardo said. They went to Mr Francis

Congratulations my daughter. Mr Francis said.

Thank you, uncle. But you know I did it for Lucas. Ava said

Uncle, I want you to be a witness to our marriage. Leonardo said

It would be a pleasure for me. But I am already witnessing it. I am the witness to everything until now. I witness how Lucas is important to both of you and now you are warming his little heart. I also witness two lives shield each other how. I witness how it is that deep loyalty that their lives saw useless against the goodness of the other too. I witness how both became rain for the other's ground as well. I witness how new hope sprouted in that arid land. I also witness the light made flow the frozen heart that was also dark. I am witness to the fear of losing light. How did you find the missing part that you were finding for years and how it became one? I am witness to the things that I have seen infinite power beyond time. I have witnessed two caring and feeling for each other. Mr Francis said

My father, you know that this marriage is fake. Leonardo tried to hide his inner state

I know it son. No matter what? But marriage is a holy promise. It means walking hand in hand in every difficulty. You also know this. Promise me you both will always be together and support each other. Mr Francis said

Both looked at each other.

I have asked for a promise but you didn't respond to me.

"Promise," Both said looking at each other. Mr Francis smiled. Meanwhile, Leonardo's phone rang.

Isabella, okay I am coming. Leonardo said. Ava's facial angles changed again by listening to Isabella's name.

We will go now. Thank you so much. Leonardo said

Don't forget the promise that you have made. Mr Francis said

While both were going upstairs, Ava looked at Leonardo.

Thank you for picking me up from the graveyard. Should I make coffee for you? Ava asked

Mr Leonardo. Ms Isabella is waiting for you in the study room. Watson interrupted

I didn't see the time. Okay, I am going. Leonardo said without replying to Ava and went into his study room. Ava felt bad as she felt ignorance. She got frozen in her place. Her eyes filled with tears. She went into her room. She was not known to reality. She couldn't sleep. She went out. She heard laughing of Isabella. Meanwhile, Sophia came to her to put salt on the fresh wounds that she made without knowing the reality of Leonardo. This all was happening due to a misunderstanding.

This all happened in the past. They used to lock themselves in the room for hours and do conversations lonely. I think they are talking about the past. They are two old friends. They have many things to remember and talk about. I am going to sleep, my dear. See you tomorrow. Sophia lied to her and went into her room.

Ava believed her words and cried silently then she went downstairs with new thoughts about Leonardo.
