BREAKDOWN

Frank was already in the graveyard to look after Olivia's grave. Henry Benjamin's grave was attached to Olivia's grave.

Everything is under control as it should be, thank God everything went smoothly, it would've been better if the boss were also there, but his sensitivity about graves…. Jackson was talking to Frank, he saw Leonardo was coming so fast toward the graveyard. He came out of the car and moved towards his brother and sister-in-law's graves but he stopped a few feet away as he saw Olivia's sister and father were crying at Olivia's grave.

'My dearest daughter look at your ill father. You ruin yourself, I really thought about forgiving you yesterday. I forgive you. I did it all for your happiness. Please forgive your father'

'Wake up sister for me, for daddy, for Lucas, why you don't wake up sister? Why did you leave me alone?

Sister, you shouldn't leave me like this...'

Ava and Mr. Freud were crying badly, then Leonardo pat shoulder of Mr. Freud and said

'My condolence to both of you

Ava stood up and hold the hand of her father and angrily looked at Leonardo and left the graveyard. While leaving the graveyard she was saying in her heart 'I will take my sister's inheritance from you, Mr. Leonardo!!'

Leonardo stood for five minutes silently near both graves and left the graveyard.

He reached the mansion. He was going to his room he saw that Lucas was looking at him in an interrogatory way he couldn't stop himself to ask a question to his uncle, Why did my mommy go to the hospital when she will come back? Asked Lucas

Who told you, that your mommy went to the hospital? Asked Leonardo

Sophia's aunt told me that she was not feeling well, so she took my mommy to the hospital. But I listen to Mr. Watson he was telling Mrs. Rosa that my mommy passed away. What should I take the truth? Asked Lucas

No Sophia's aunt was saying the truth not others. Myra, can you please take my beetroot to his room for his activity? Leonardo said with a smooth voice and moved towards his room, his eyes drop a tear of his nephew's loss.

Lucas has your honey milk also chocolate cookie you can drink it in your room, said Myra

Why my mommy didn't come back from the hospital, she always come back quickly. Lucas asked Myra

She never gets this late, so don't you worry my sweetheart, said Myra

They are leaving, they are leaving, and they all will leave you can't make them stay by saying it.

Leonardo listen to a voice coming from outside his room where James was terrified and mumbling.

I am always with you my brother. Don't you trust me? Asked Leonardo

I don't want us to get rattled now, make them stay, let nobody leave isn't it enough!! Mental condition James was more upset by that incident.

I will not let anyone leave my dear brother. I always with you, said Leonardo

This is enough Freud! You ruined yourself. Don't you pity yourself at all? His sister Mrs. Jasmine said

How did she die? It all happened because of me. I don't know if she had a good life, what she do, what she eat, how she lived, if she had any sorrow… alas! This all happened because of me, Mr. Freud cried

Don't blame yourself, dad, don't say such things, said Ava

please give him medicine, he already going through a lot. Mrs. Jasmine said.

Ava went to her father's room where his cousin was sitting and looked at the frame of pictures in which Ava, Olivia, and his picnic memory were captured.

Have patience Ava, said Aiden

How could I Aiden? What is left in my life? Ava took the medicine box from the side table and left the room with a lethargic tone.

Take this dad! She gave water and medicine to her father, meanwhile, a notification bell raised from the phone. It was Olivia's phone in her pocket. She checked the phone notification. It was a causal company message. But her heartbeat increased as she saw the wallpaper on the screen.

Look, daddy!! This is your grandson, I will bring him to you as my sister said that I have to take care of him for the rest of my life. She trusted me. I will ensure that Lucas is with us forever, said Ava

Benjamins will not give him to us, I know them from their root. They won't, Mr. Freud cried

Lucas is the bequest of your daughter. I won't leave him there alone, said Ava

Look at my Ship uncle! My mom made this from printing paper, when I grow up as old as you are now, I will make a ship to my mom as well but not like this one, I will make a big one, said Lucas

Leonardo took the ship and smashed it in his hand and said; some things don't go as we planned beetroot!!

My Ship!! Lucas's tears came out of his eyes

Only weak people cry over things that have gone, but we are strong what do we do? We don't cry, okay? So, it's time to sleep now, Said Leonardo

Yes, madam, who are you looking for? One of the guards asked Ava

I came here to meet my nephew Lucas, could you please let me in? Asked Ava

There are strict orders from Mr. Leonardo. No one can meet him said the guard

Sophia was walking with James in the garden, she saw that Ava was talking in a tangle to guards, she sent her attendant to bring Ava to her. The attendant rang the guard wireless and asked him to send Ava to Sophia. Guard nodded his head and give the way to Ava.

Mrs. Sophia, did you recognize me? Asked Ava

Yes my dear of course I do. Is there any problem my dear? Asked Sophia

I wanted to meet Lucas, but no one from the mansion let me do so, Ava complaint

They are doing their duty as per Leonardo's orders. Don't you worry! You may go to the 1st floor, my attendant will guide you about Lucas's room. Sophia said with the inner wish to get rid of Lucas so that she may be able to handle that mansion in her hands. Thank you! Ava shake hands with Sophia and went inside the mansion.

When Ava entered in the mansion, she felt so silent in place. She directly went into her nephew's room.

A boy with a sad face was sitting in the frame of Olivia's photo.

Hello Lucas! Do you know who am I?

Lucas nodded his head! You are my aunt, my mother showed me in different photos.

She also tells me about my grandpa, where is he?

Oh my god! How intelligent you are big boy!! I am here to take you with me so you will meet your grandpa today. Ava smiled with tearful eyes.

Kindly give me his shoes and coat! We are going outside, Ava asked Myra

Mam I am not allowed to send Lucas with anyone from this mansion Myra added.

I am also not a stranger, I am his aunt. Give me stuff, I am going to take Lucas with me safely. Mrs. Sophia and Mr. Leonardo know me well. Ava toned up with Myra. Okay, mam, Myra handed over the stuff to Ava.

You can ask him by call, Ava said confidently

He is in the meeting, we can't interrupt him during the meeting. But I feel okay to call now before this he finds out later. Myra called Leonardo but he didn't respond once.

Okay! Don't call him, don't interrupt for no reason. Ava said

My dear your grandpa will be so happy to see you.

Let's go inside, take off your shoes and coat. Ava was as happy as she brought Lucas to her home.

Here you go!

Aunt, I know about this place, when my mom was less ill she used to tell me about everything about this home. I always asked my mommy, why she don't let us come to this home. But she said she was unable to travel! Is that so aunt? Lucas asked

Yes my dear your mommy was right about it, do you want to eat something? Ava said by controlling her cry

Yes, lemon cookie, my mommy made for me when she was well, she told me that you made the same. Lucas directly jumped into the conversation

Yes, I can you wait here. I will make it for you. Ava hugged Lucas and gave him a chair to sit in front of her in the kitchen

Aunt, you know a secret?

What secret Lucas?

You smell like my mommy! This time both of them were sad

Sir your coffee! Watson stepped forward towards Leonardo

Where is sister-in-law? Asked Leonardo

Sir, she left after an hour when you left for the meeting. Said Watson

Did Lucas asleep? Asked Leonardo

No sir he left as well, said Watson

With Sophia? Asked Leonardo

No, he left with his aunt, said Watson

How is that possible, without my permission? Leonardo interrogated aggressively

I was not there, Myra attended her Said Watson

What are you saying, man? asked Leonardo

Sir, I thought you already knew this Said Watson

Sophia entered the house, Leonardo I was entering the mansion I listened to you talking so loudly, is everything okay dear?

No, Ava took Lucas, Leonardo said

What I just gave her permission to meet her, she said she wants to meet Lucas, that's why. I am so sorry brother I shouldn't let her meet Lucas. I didn't even think that she can dare to do such a foolish act with us. Anyways, she is his aunt she will not harm Lucas…. Sophia exaggerated with inner happiness.

You! Gave a child that you are responsible for? You did it by yourself? Now get the hell out of here Myra and never try to show me your face.

Everyone open your ears and eyes! Otherwise, you will beg for mercy before I kill you! Leonardo shouted at the servants

Look sister you are also doing a lot, but don't test my patience through Lucas. Leonardo said to Sophia who was smiling at the servants.

But she didn't get my permission, I will not forgive her. I will let her regret this mistake. Find out the address Frank, we have to go right now! said Leonardo

Mr. Freud entered the room where his grandson was sleeping. He started talking in happiness

'Oh my god, what a surprise Ava! How did you do this? Did anyone harm you from that mansion?'

Daddy look what I found in his pant pocket! This necklace! This necklace has framed you and your grandson's photo in it. My sister's necklace…. Should I wear this?

Yes of course! Mr. Freud was so happy to see his grandson on his bed.

I am going to buy some sweets and cotton candies for my grandson from the nearest shop. Please lock the door carefully. Mr. Freud kissed his forehead of Lucas.

Okay daddy, I am waiting!! Ava lay with her nephew and hold up his hand

Breaking of the door was coming

Ava opens the door!!

How dare you take Lucas!!

Give me Lucas!!

Open the door or I will break the lock!! It was Leonardo's voice

Gunfire sound raised!!

Ava got up and said let me check what's wrong? she found that Leonardo was standing in the lounge. She felt herself stick to the wall for a moment by looking at the arrogant face of him

Where did you hide Lucas? Are you going to give me or I should get him by myself? Leonardo roared at Ava. She trembled with his tone.

I am not going to give my innocent nephew to such a monster, who breaks the door of innocent people's houses and enters without permission.

Leonardo stepped forward toward Ava. And looked into her eyes with the red-eaten look. Ava looked away in fear. Her eyes were mapping to her father's room where Lucas was sleeping. Leonardo understood and directly went into the room. He found Lucas was sleeping so comfortably. He took Lucas and moved outside. Ava shouted at him

Where are you going? You can't take Lucas!! Leave him! Where are you taking him?

One guard stopped her and shut the door. Leonardo took Lucas into the car and went to the mansion. She quickly ran out of the house but all in vain. Everyone was gone. She came back home and starts crying loudly.

My Lucas! Lucas!

Mr. Freud entered the house. Look daughter what I brought for Lucas?

Is everything okay? Why are you crying? What happened my sweetheart? Asked Mr. Freud

Daddy those monsters took Lucas away, Ava said

What do you say? Mr. Freud fell down.

Daddy…!! Daddy!! What happened?

Open your eyes daddy. Daddy? Ava shouted

You should be ready for every situation Ava. I told you before to keep him away from any stress.

His condition is worse, Doctor said.

Aiden and his mother (Mrs. Jasmine) came to the hospital. Ava shared the whole incident with them.

Mrs. Jasmine encouraged her niece by saying 'don't you worry my dear. You must do an effort to get him. One day Lucas will be only yours'

Please go home, I'll look after my uncle here tonight, Aiden said

How someone can be so unmerciful! I will take my nephew from that family in the early morning and then will bring him to daddy. Thank you for your help Aiden, Ava said

As she reached home, her phone bell raised. It was Aiden's call.

'Ava! Quickly reach the hospital, uncle is not feeling well.'

Coming Aiden!

'Ambulance siren'

Daddy!! Why did you leave me? Why did you leave your little princess?

I beg you not to leave me, daddy! Nothing left in my life! Ava broke down

'Condolence to you dear'

This sentence she listened to for two days. She felt alone in a desert.
