REVEALING TRUTH

Leonardo was unable to relax in a situation that happened because of him. He never hurt innocent people. He was regretting his mistake but he kept hiding his feeling from everyone. He called a team of the best lawyers to the mansion. He shouted at Frank when he came to know that the crime he made with Ava's identity was a money laundering case. But it was not a mistake of Frank as he worked under the orders of Leonardo. Leonardo wounded his hand by punching it into the wall. The case was not getting into his hands. On other hand, Ava was transferred to the ladies' prisoner's section. A group of girls were fighting there. Ava tried to calm them. An aggressive lady push Ava. She fall on an iron bed site from where the grill was bared. It was directly pinned in Ava's abdomen. Ava screamed with pain and fainted. It was too much blood on the floor. Lady police took Ava to the hospital. Leonardo received a call from one of his attendants.

She is injured and moved to hospital. Voice came

Where did it happen? Leonardo asked

In jail. Voice came

How is her condition now? Leonardo asked

She is in Operation Theater. Voice came

I am coming. Send me your address. Leonardo said. He quickly went out of the mansion. He was drowning in shame and guilt.

The next morning, Ava opened her eyes. She found herself in hospital. Leonardo was sitting on a chair in front of her.

How are you? Leonardo asked

I am good. A little bit hurting. Ava said. She tried to wake up.

Let me help you. Leonardo stood up

The idiot who did this to you will pay off. Leonardo said

You don't need to do something to take revenge. Ava said

Leonardo was trying to look after her in every best way. To let down his shame and guilt. The Lady attendant entered the room.

Good morning. Your breakfast is ready. If you want to order something from the canteen please tell me. As you are here from the night. You must be hungry. She said

Ava looked at Leonardo with wonder. Leonardo served her breakfast and went out. He found the man and took him to the police station. Ava also reached the police station. She saw Leonardo was coming with a man.

Have this culprit inspector. Leonardo sad. Ava was surprised to see Leonardo. The policeman took that man into the investigation room for a statement. After half an hour he came out and told Ava that she was free from accusations. Once Leonardo thought about he should tell Ava the truth but he got afraid that she may get hyper on her or can do anything bad to him.

Thank you so much. You saved my life. I owe you. Ava said

No need to say thanks. Get well soon. Leonardo said

Ava completed the proceedings and went mansion with Leonardo. Ava was looking at Leonardo with a thankful face while going home.

Thank you for everything you did for me. Thanks for the wrap you brought for me from Uncle Francis's hut.

You look tired. So eat it and get fresh. Lucas may get worried by looking at you in this condition.

You have done great for me. You put yourself in danger because of me. If you didn't find him and bring him to the police station I could be in jail still. I thought about him more than I. He is more than my life. What you have done for me is valuable. Ava said.

Leonardo was silent as he was still ashamed of his act. He lost in talking to himself

'She didn't look like other women. She is respectable more than other women. I justified her wrong. Uncle Francis said to me all right. I just didn't bother him. I should apologize my uncle.'

He was continuously feeling bad. He dropped Ava at home.

You brought me home for Lucas. I will never forget this kindness. Ava said this with tearful eyes.

You should know something else also. People sometimes make mistakes. Lucas interrupted while he was about to tell him something.

Leonardo went to Mr Francis's hut. He served him his famous traditional tea and sat in front of him.

You look like messed up. Mr Francis said

Yes, uncle. I am sorry for what I have done. I would have listened to you that time.

So my son did a mistake again? Mr Francis asked

I disrespected you last time. It all happened as you told me. She is not like what I thought about her. I always treated her in a way she never deserved. Leonardo said

You have a problem with my daughter in your heart. Solve it either. You have to trust her. Mr Francis said

Leonardo nodded his head. He stood up and went mansion. He listened to Ava who was singing a painful lullaby. He stood outside her room and listened to her. he lost in her mesmerizing voice

🎶

I will not leave you

I promise you

I will come

Don't be afraid

This is my word

I am also there

I am with you

There is a flood of tears

Inside my heart

Don't be afraid

I will not leave you

You are my diamond

Every look loves you

Let's stand together

Let's stand in arms

I will not leave you

I am with you

I am there

I brought what you wanted. Watson said. He put the coffee on the side table and a small gift box.

Leonardo nodded his head. After he finished his coffee he went to Ava's room

Good morning. Anything important? Ava asked

This is for you. Have this. Leonardo raised his hand to give her the box.

What is this? Ava asked

You can open it. Leonardo said

Ava opened the box. It was the key to the mansion. Ava wondered

This place is yours too from now. I have announced it to the rest of the people. It called my attention. You knock on the door every time you come home. It will no longer be needed to do so. Leonardo said.

Thank you. Ava said

But I was expecting different. Your eyes are saying different. Your eyes filled with tears. Did I do something wrong? Leonardo came closer to her and asked her.

I didn't feel anything wrong. On contrary, I felt a lot. I felt so good. I lost my mother and my sister after a hope my father also passed away. I closed my house for Lucas. I didn't go there again. Now when you gave me the key to the house. I felt like I belong somewhere again. Ava said. She was not known about Leonardo's decision. He did it to recover himself from the shame of guilt.

I did with you in the past. You know that I was not known to you well back then. Leonardo said

I also want to say you same. I want to apologize for the words I said to you before. I was unfair to you. I thought you were a stone wall. But there is someone else behind this wall. A protector, a thoughtful person who I can see now. I came to know you. I am no longer afraid of you. I know you won't hurt me on purpose. Ava said

Leonardo was again unable to tell her the truth. He was still having a burden on his heart. He was looking into Ava's eyes. Ava went outside. Leonardo was still on the bridge of thoughts. Everyone was happy again with Leonardo's decision except Emma and Sophia. Emma's jealousy was going on peak day by day. James came to Lucas's room and told Ava that it was Leonardo's birthday.

Why you are telling in secret? Ava asked

Because he doesn't like a birthday party. James said

But what about cake? Ava asked

Yes. He loves hazelnut cake. James said

Okay. My aunt will bake the cake and I will celebrate with him. Lucas said

Okay, aunt? Lucas asked

How I can disobey my captain? As you order my boyfriend. Ava hugged him

Ava and Lucas went to the kitchen and baked a beautiful cake. Lucas made a beautiful birthday wish card.

Emma went office with Frank. She has to submit the assignment. Frank left his mobile phone on the table. Emma quickly took his mobile and opened that. She randomly opened the text messages. She found something and took pictures of that and quickly put the phone on the table. When she reached home she saw Sophia was waiting for her.

I want to tell you something. Come to my room. Sophia said

I want to show you something. Emma said.

Listen to me first. A fire blast is going to happen in the mansion tonight. Sophia said

How? Emma raised her eyebrows.

Do you know, Leonardo doesn't like his birthday? Sophia asked

Yes. How I can forget? Emma asked

Your wish is going to be successful tonight. Ms Ava is baking a cake for him. James told her about his birthday. She involved Lucas with her. When I went to the kitchen Lucas stopped me. The kid told me everything. Just see what will happen later after Ava will get cake on her face. Sophia said

Aww, the baby will lose the game. I have some best to twist it. Let me show you. Emma said

What?? 'Everything will be according to Leonardo's order. You don't worry frank. We will use Ava's name in the best scam in the centre of the fraud network so she will never come out of jail.' It was a text conversation on Frank's mobile phone.

So Ava was trapped by Leonardo's orders? I can't believe this. Sophia read those messages and Frank talked to someone to use Ava's identity in a scam.

So. When they will be celebrating I will send her this sim card I took from the office. I will be out of the mansion. You will inform me when their party get starts. I will share these screenshots with Ava. Emma instructed her.

Wow!!My sweetie. You are getting more tricks. You are intelligent my girl. Sophia hugged her and said proudly.

So this love triangle will break up tonight. Emma said

Can we come inside? Lucas asked

Yes, my beetroot. Come in. Leonardo said. He saw Lucas coming inside with Ava. She was holding a tray of cake.

Look we made your favourite cake for your birthday. Lucas said

Leonardo's mood was getting worst instead of saying thanks to them. He was having the worst childhood flashbacks. Ava looked at him. She noticed that Leonardo was having something wrong in his mind.

Lucas, go and bring the gift. We forget it in your room. I am waiting for you. Then we will cut the cake. She managed to send him outside. So she may talk to Leonardo

Leonardo was staring at Ava.

Are you okay? Ava asked and put the tray on the table.

Will you say something? I know you don't like surprises but my intention was not to make you angry. It is just a cake. I couldn't say no to Lucas for his happiness. I think we pissed you off but we had no bad intention. Lucas is trying to show you his love. I wanted to do something. Although is small. But it's an exchange for my debt to you. Ava said all and took the tray to go outside. Meanwhile, Leonardo opened his mouth.

It has nothing to do with you. My mom…!! When she left us... Since that, I didn't celebrate my birthdays. If possible I could have removed her name from my mind and my heart. Leonardo said

I would never make this cake if I knew the reason. I am sorry. I am taking it back. Ava said

Meanwhile, Lucas came back to his room.

Uncle let's cut this cake. Lucas said

Ava looked at him with a saddened face and nodded her head to stay calm for Lucas.

Happy birthday to you.

He put a stone on his heart and cut cake with his beetroot. He ate cake with him. He looked at Ava. She smiled. She sat with them. Ava cut the cake and put it on their plates. Leonardo was saddened enough. But he was pretending happy in front of Lucas. On other hand, Sophia was putting her ears to Leonardo's room. She didn't listen to his voice so she texted Emma to demolish the mansion through Ava's voice.

Everyone was eating cake. Lucas was talking to his uncle after so long time.

Uncle did you like it? You eat very little. Look me and my aunt going to finish our plate. Lucas said

Leonardo was silent.

Sweetheart, can you please make a new picture for me also? Ava diverted his attention and asked him to paint new. Lucas went into his room

I would never make this cake if I knew it. Ava justified to Leonardo

There are also other things you don't know. You know I can do everything for Lucas. But how far I can go or how far I have come…..Leonardo said meanwhile Ava's phone notification tone raised. Both got attentive to the phone. Ava raised her eyebrows to Leonardo that she was listening to him.

Answer it. Maybe it is an emergency. Leonardo said

Ava took her phone. It was a photo message. 'Mr Leonardo is very angry. When will this job be done? He needs definite results. I am sure Mr Frank, it will be impossible for the police to notice the name. Ava Freud's name is at the centre of a fraud network. This girl will be arrested these days. As Mr Leonardo's orders, you gave me. Are you sure? Will she go to jail safely? Yes, I am sure Mr Frank' ava read screenshots of messages. Ava looked at Leonardo with angry and hateful eyes. Her eyes were full of tears. Leonardo was looking at her. She was behaving strangely. She stood up.

Is everything okay? Is there any bad news? Leonardo asked

How can you do this to me? Did you set the trap? Is that so? Tell me you didn't!! Ava shouted in a way that for a moment walls of the mansion got shivered.

Leonardo was unable to connect his eyes.

You lied to me while looking into my eyes for days. I thought you saved me but you were going to ruin my life. My life is not important to me. I couldn't see Lucas again. You would take my life!! With what law?? Huh..!! Ava screamed

I… Leonardo was about to say that Ava didn't let him talk

You…!! You..!! What you!!! Every time you!!! Don't you think of anyone else?? Have you ever thought of others than yourself?? Even once in your life. You!! You are a savage who does not think of anyone but one himself. Not only me. You didn't care about Lucas also. Even your love for Lucas is behind you. What did you said him when he asked about me?? What did you plan? Your aunt died as your mother?? She didn't love you so she left you and ran away. What would you have planned??

If you listened to me for a second! Leonardo tried to grab her hand.

Don't dare to touch me!!! I could be in prison still because of you. I could be dying in the hospital. Why?? What is the reason for this anger?? Are you so hostile to me?? Do you hate me so much?? I wish I had never trusted you and never returned to this mansion. Ava broke down. She shouted with her bursting power. She shut the door as it sound broke down. Leonardo was not known how to express his shame to her. He stuck to the ground. Sophia and Emma were as happy as their wish was completed.
