Chapter.18

As soon as Diana heard she went into the living room again disguising not having heard anything, Leon barely suspecting Rejane's intention.

"I'm going to my room now, ask Scooby to find a home for her, I can't leave her here." he orders impartially.

"This means that you don't have the slightest chance of coming back, right?" she asked hopefully.

"There is no chance of that, the fact that she came to me after her husband died is even worse, it means that nothing has changed in her character." he analyzes coldly.

"You have become a sensible man, you have matured, I hope you won't fall for this woman's tricks.

However, the truth was that in his mind Luz didn't belong to him, but because of what Diana had done in the past, she would not be the best company even if his heart still desired her discreetly.

"I'm going to my room now." She closed the subject, but Rejane was no fool, she had her suspicions and hoped that Diana would leave the house soon.

Leon passed through the living room without looking at her and went to his room.

His mansion was adapted for his needs as a wheelchair user and an elevator was placed especially for his use when he wanted to move around his house. Rejane followed her, giving a scolding look in Diana's direction, who showed her the tongue.

But she concentrated on helping Leon and went to her room, and her only job was to give him clean clothes.

As soon as he finished getting ready to rest, Rejane handed him his notebook and left him alone.

In her room there was a breeze and the sound of the wind coming through her window dancing with the curtains, letting discreet rays of sunlight illuminate the floor.

The window of his room gave him an incredible view of his blooming garden, but now he was concentrating on the work he had left pending for leaving early.

"Who is it?" Leon asked as soon as he heard someone knocking at the door, he was excited to think that it might be Luz, barely noticing his sudden happiness at the thought of her.

"Leon..." He opened the door, smiling gently as if they were very close.

"What are you doing here?" he asked frustrated.

"Scooby told me you'd find a house for me.

"Yes!

"I knew you still cared about me." Diana smiled hopefully.

"I'm married, I don't think Light would like you to stay here." she warned, crossing her arms and avoiding eye contact.

"You are the owner of this house, you are the only one who can decide, and that apparently low-class woman can't decide anything.

"You're not the one who has the right to say anything about this, we're married, it's obvious that she has rights, she's my partner who accepts me the way I am." indifferent pronunciation making her feel embarrassed.

"So... What kind of house are you thinking about?" She tried to change the subject to relax the discomfort that was created.

"I don't know, I gave Scooby this assignment.

"Can I show you one?" he asks excitedly, trying to convince him.

"Okay.

He agreed discouraged, so she sat down next to him and started typing without taking the notebook off his lap, making him uncomfortable many times for touching it.

Leon wanted to just send her off at once, but he didn't want to be so rude.

Luz just woke up, she looked like she hadn't slept in days, she was still exhausted.

She never thought Leon could make her so tired, her mind still went into a frenzy when she remembered what she did in the office, as well as feeling ashamed, she couldn't believe she let jealousy take her so far in that presidential office.

Still sleepy she made her way to her room, until she heard voices in the next room, she slowly made her way into the room and saw through the gap Diana sitting on Leon's bed leaning on his leg while looking at her Notebook.

"What is this woman doing here?" he thinks with a wavering look. "It was to be expected from a superficial marriage, it was obvious that I couldn't compete with his ex and now that his rival is dead she came after him and he accepted her." She thought boredly. She thought as she walked back to her room without interrupting the two of them.

She took the wedding ring off her finger and placed it on the bed, this morning's sweet dream was just a sweet one that was over, she was so happy for the officiating.

Everything was happening so fast, she remembered that she had gotten Levi's number, so she told him she was going to the club and wanted to talk to someone, she didn't even wait for an answer, she knew that when he read it he would come to meet her.

She left without telling anyone, only the security cameras saw her leave, Scooby was also absent, he was on an important mission, to arrange a house to get Diana out of the Fischer mansion.

As soon as she arrived at You&Me she sat at the bar, the club was still empty.

"Yesterday was a fuss because you didn't dance in the house." commented the bartender, cleaning the set of glasses.

"I don't care, I'll soon be free of this place, regardless of any situation, maybe I'll even go back to Brazil, you know what? I plan to do that." she grumbles, sitting at the bar table.

"Um, you haven't made many friends here, but of those few you have me, don't forget a goodbye." Gabriel kept talking.

He was the one who always gave Luz forbidden drinks, he was always working overtime as if there was nothing else to accomplish in life.

A tall, gentle guy, statuesque body, one of those who would be invited to bachelor parties. His smile is captivating, but it was rare to see him smile, except when he talked to Luz, his black hair is hidden by a plaid scarf tied around his head, and his asymmetrical face makes him an ideal candidate to be a model.

"I know, you never harmed yourself every time you gave me drinks, did you?" he asked gently.

"No, you always had a free pass with Marcone, he was a hard-ass, but you were the least paid and the most profitable.

"I don't owe you anything, no drinks on you?

"No, the only bill is that we owe a toast to your success in this place.

"This is already over, soon he will find a replacement just as good.

"Not even at the best agencies." He heard a voice behind his back, then hugging him." Gabriel, seeing the scene, returned to his work.

"Are you that reckless?" He murmured, getting rid of Levi's arms, who sat down beside him, indifferent to his reaction, he was only paying attention to Gabriel, who swallowed dryly, showing fear.

"Um... What are you looking at, my friend is handsome, but not for your beak no." joked Luz, making Levi gasp and stare at him.

"My interests are not so wide-ranging, but they are demanding, especially when I want a woman." He commented close to her ear making her gasp." Are you disconcerted? Are you remembering something?" he whispered lasciviously.

"Levi..." She turned away from him in disbelief.

"We're friends." She gestured for the barman to come and serve her.

"Luz, Luz..." He sighed his name.

"What are we going to do with your debt? But... I'm thinking about something in relation to yesterday," she commented with mystery, but he didn't understand why a Hathaway would be after Luz.

"About what?

"About how good you taste." He murmured, embarrassed, quickly rising from his chair, spun on his tiptoes, and strode down the hall to the dressing room.

"Dressing room, no." Levi warned her, holding her arm.

"Levi, I know I owe you, but don't try to embarrass me, I just want to get out of this place, but I seem to be getting attached to you.

"Today is our penultimate day, I decide, we'll stay at the bar, drinking a little and tomorrow we'll close your contract.

"After all, after I close this contract, I'm going back home to meet my brother's wife, it's been so many years, and I still have to investigate what Luz has to do with the Hatawhay.

"Are you serious?

"Of course!

"Levi... You are so wonderful!" hugged him energetically.

"What the hell! Why did my heart race with your hug, your smell is so sweet," Levi thought, hugging him tightly and enjoying his scent.

"Thank you," Luz said shyly.

"But what's bothering you?

"I'm fine.

"I already know you a little and I know you're sad, you can tell me if you want." Levi insisted.

"Well ... Yesterday I came home, everything was fine, but I came to the conclusion that my husband doesn't care about me, today he took his ex-wife to our house and it seems they are very intimate, she was in his room.

"You are married to the guy and you are letting an ex take your space?" he said indignantly.

"What?

"You are married to the guy and you let him take another one home, that's your place.

"Whatever, I think I'm just an object." She confessed depressed hugging her own body.

"That means I have a great chance to get you for myself, Luz Alessandra" thought Levi involuntarily giving a discreet smile even watching her suffering.

They stayed there for a long time, Luz kept her word, she didn't touch any drink, while Levi seemed to celebrate something, he thought about his victory over Luz.

It was close to 10 pm when Luz decided to go home, as soon as she left Scooby was waiting for her outside.

"You..." she mumbled ignoring him, Levi was about to leave when he spotted Scooby, he gave up.

"Why is Leon's right hand man chasing Luz?" He thought watching him soon after following him.

"Ms. Luz, is everything alright?

"No! Your boss betrayed me!" she shouted, annoyed, trying to get away from him.

"Things are not like that, today I spent the day in real estate trying to get a house for that woman, don't let her take advantage of your husband, put her in her place. Leon is very soft on her, but he will not oppose your decisions in the house, just put a limit on her until she decides where she wants to go.

"Why don't you send her away?

"It's not that easy, she thinks she has the right to be there, she feels like she owns the place, and since she is a Hathaway, things get even more serious, she can't feel that she is shaking your relationship, and we are suspicious that she is only there to collect information about you.

"What are these Hathaway people?

"They are like a royal family, but they are a bunch of poor people, benefited by Leon's mother when she married Leo Fischer and now they have inheritance rights in case their brothers die and that's why you should be careful." he explained, opening the car door.

"So... is she trying to play games? Throw herself at my man? Hum..." she said indignantly, getting into the car.
