Chapter.17

"Take me to Kenny!" he ordered suddenly.

"Miss... Leon won't allow it.

"I don't care what he allows or not, yesterday he wasn't the one who saved me, I want to go to my apartment to see my friend, now." She orders petulantly, he just obeys her and goes on his way after telling Leon.

Diana now goes to Leon's room.

"Be brief, I don't have much time." announces Leon indifferently as soon as Diana sits down.

"Is everything okay?" she asks uncertainly." I didn't see your wife was here when I came in.

"She was in the bathroom." he answers immediately and dryly.

"I hope that the problem that happened with one of your companies wasn't that serious.

"Of course not, but that's not what you came to talk about, I assume.

"No, you don't know what happened?" He started to cry again.

"Just tell me, why are you dragging your feet?" Leon had never been rude to her before, and today was the second time.

"My husband..." she stammered, losing her speech.

"He's probably in the finance department right now, you can go see him." She said, ignoring him again, starting to type on the computer.

"He's dead!" she sobbed, crying.

"He's what?" she said, surprised.

"He's dead.

"How did this happen?

"I don't know, someone ambushed him and killed him mercilessly, he was found in the bathroom with three other men also killed in cold blood.

"I wasn't aware of this, have you investigated?

"Yes, but... I believe he was betraying me..." He confessed in tears." That's why the Hathaway family accuses me of revenge... But I would never do that." She cried inconsolably.

"Why are they accusing you? Where was he found?

"At the Palace Hotel Whay, it was their hotel, they searched the cameras, and found nothing! Nobody knows what really happened.

"What day did this happen?

"Last night he told me that he would meet some shareholders and today we got the news that he was found dead, the receptionist said that two men with a woman had entered that room, but there was no Mr. Fernando in the hotel, Leon... Please! Help me, I have nowhere to go." He begged, almost humiliating himself.

"Calm down, let's go to the company restaurant, it's already lunchtime, there we can talk calmly." He suggested thoughtfully, and as soon as they got out of the elevator he typed a message to Scooby, asking him to stop by the Whay Hotel.

Luz was surprised at the sudden change of direction, but decided not to ask, she thought maybe it was some unforeseen event, until they stopped in front of the hotel she remembered well.

"Take me away from here!" she asked in panic." Please, Scooby, take me away from this place!" Scooby closed the windows when he realized how out of control she was, since the hotel was interdicted and full of police officers they could see and suspect her.

"Apparently you were here yesterday, weren't you?" There was no answer, he turned on the air conditioning and got out of the car, locking it.

Luz was frightened and curled up in the seat watching him talk to one of the officers then followed one of the officers to one of the vehicles where he handed her some sheets of paper, soon after he returned to his car to meet Luz.

"Let's go home," he announced indifferently, even though Luz had given him a curious and suspicious look.

As soon as they arrived, Scooby took her to Leon's office.

"What do you want now?

"Yesterday, you were kidnapped, and we couldn't find you, but then to our surprise you showed up at home, drunk and on drugs, who did this?" he asked seriously showing her pictures of the three bodies piled up in the bathroom, Luz almost vomited, her stomach churned, she had never seen anything so horrible in her life.

"Get it away from me!" She closed her eyes in terror.

"Luz, I know it wasn't you who killed, but we know it was you who left, the officers got pictures, you left in the arms of a man in the back of the hotel, who is this man?" At that moment Levi came to his mind, when Scooby showed him the pictures neither of them could be recognized, Levi was wearing a hat and wearing glasses, and Luz had her face covered with a handkerchief, almost unconscious, being carried in his arms.

"It was a friend who saved me.

"This friend of yours ended up killing a Hathaway, he doesn't know what he is causing, because they know, the Hathaway's have the recordings and if they find out who it is, there will be no stone left unturned.

"That man was about to rape me, thank God, Levi..." His head was clouded with regret, Scooby turned pale at hearing the name "Levi", at that moment the matter for him was already closed, Levi had saved her and killed a Hathaway.

"Luz, you can go to your room, or do whatever you want, but I can't take you to your friend's house, she could be in danger if you go to her, keep contact with her to a minimum if you have love for your friendship." asks cautiously.

"Okay, but... I will keep calling my mother.

"She's in another country, don't worry, you can keep in touch with her." She answered, watching her leave as soon as they arrived at the mansion.

/Leon, Fernando is dead and the eagle did the work.

She sent the message to Leon, he was already waiting for it so at the same moment the message notified him he saw it and asked him to pick him up at the restaurant.

Luz made her way to the library where she spent hours, lying on the reading couch until she fell asleep.

Leon took Diana to the mansion, even though Scooby disagreed, he didn't object, but he knew it would be a mess between the two women.

"Good afternoon, Rejane!" Diana greeted her at the entrance, she made a very unfriendly face and turned her back, making Diana feel uncomfortable, she really thought she would be treated well after what she had done to Leon.

"Leon! Come to the kitchen now!" Rejane ordered, so he followed her, leaving Diana sitting on the sofa.

"Um, a little maid with that kind of freedom with the master of the house." she murmured arrogantly.

"This is not a maid, Miss Diana, and she is even more cultured and worthy than you, I hope you respect her, because in this house she is invaluable, unlike you." Scooby said.

"Another cheeky little servant, I'll be the mistress of this house again, soon, soon, I don't care if he's married, he'll get divorced." she says with conviction, shrugging her shoulders.

"You're still petulant and deluded." he sighs indifferently, leaving her alone.

"How dare you bring that woman into this house?" she shouts in annoyance.

"She needs help, I had no choice.

"You had one thing, the word "no", this bad woman doesn't deserve your support.

"Something very serious happened, Fernando was killed last night.

As soon as she said it, Rejane showed her horror at the news.

"Just be a little kind, she just lost her husband, and she's alone.

"She has all the Hathaways, she doesn't need to run into your arms right after her husband's death, she hasn't even buried him yet.

"I didn't bring her here with the intention of rekindling something, I no longer feel anything for her and I won't forgive her for what she did in the past, but for the sake of our friendship I still think of having a little consideration in this difficult moment." he explains, but his expression betrays a bit of coldness.

"That's strange, Luz was kidnapped yesterday..." she then commented, remaining silent, her eyes alone said what she thought and Leon only confirmed with his head, she looked at the kitchen entrance door and closed it." You mean someone killed him and saved Luz?" he whispered, sitting down beside her.

"Yes, Scooby already found out who it was, but it must be a secret.

"As long as this woman is here, let's not talk about this subject.

"It's safer, where is Luz?" he asks after closing the subject of what happened.

"She disappeared a while ago, Scooby had taken her to the office, he was very serious, then she went wandering around the mansion, but I don't know where she went.

"When she is better she will return, help me change clothes, today was a tiring day and I don't mean at work.

"I saw that you had an incredible evening!" she said excitedly.

"Oh, no, did you hear that yesterday?" he asked embarrassed.

"Yes, I didn't mean to, but don't be shy, she's your wife, soon you can have a child." He said in a loud voice, she already suspected that Diana would hear and provoked a certain rivalry.
