DON ANGIE RESTAURANT**
The girls entered and Charlotte sniffed
“Nice smell” she muttered
They sat down and a waitress came to them
“May I have your orders please?” She asked with smiles on her face
“Wow,you’re so beautiful” Charlotte said
“Thank you” The waitress smiled
“I want fried rice and chicken with Chinese dumplings” Mariana said
“Same thing” Octavia smiled
“Me too” Charlotte also said
“With a good wine please,thanks” Mariana added
“Will be back” The waitress said and walked away
“What?!” Octavia suddenly shouted as she stared at her phone
“What is it?” Charlotte asked
“Jessica and my precious Leonard are dating?” Octavia said
“What? That’s just rumors” Charlotte grabbed the phone from her
It’s showing a video of them going into the same car
“Can I see it?” Mariana asked and Charlotte gave the phone to her
‘Seriously? Is he for real? How can he have a girlfriend??’ Mariana thought
“I’m sure they are not going to the same place,just chill. Leonard is single” Charlotte said
They were still talking when loud murmurs started,Octavia who was facing the entrance was the first person to gasp.
Mariana and Charlotte turned and there was Leonard coming into the restaurant with Jessica holding his arm
? Is that Leonard and Jessica?
? I can’t believe they are In our restaurant
? Such a great day
Leonard’s eyes met with Mariana’s own and she didn’t look away
“He’s looking at me” Octavia said and arranged her hair
Leonard looked away from Mariana as the manager led them into the inner room.
“They are getting a private room….wow…does that mean they are dating?” Charlotte asked
Mariana roll her eyes
‘Jerk!’ She snapped in her head

Their food was served immediately and Jessica Mõ@ɲed
“Wow,delicious. Have a taste” She tried feeding him
“I’m leaving by four” Leonard said and her hand dropped
She checked the time and it’s 3:50pm
“Leo” She called
“I’m not hungry,eat up. I will leave when it’s four” Leonard said
Jessica sighed and continue eating while Leonard was busy with his phone
*LET’S JUST GET HER A NICE GIFT,SHE DOESN’T LIKE PARTIES* Dior sent through the group chat
It’s Ricardo mom’s birthday and they are planning to get her a gift
Soon,it was 4:00pm
Leonard stood up
“I’m coming with you” Jessica immediately got up
“What? You haven’t touched half of your food,do we have to leave together?” Leonard asked
“How can we come here together and not leave together? You know news go around so fast” Jessica said
“News? Are you doing this for news? Come on Jessica,even if there are crazy rumors around. We both know there’s nothing between us and there wouldn’t be one. So stop this show” Leonard said and walked out
Jessica bite her bottom lip and sat down again
“Well,you can’t run away from me. You will be mine soon” She muttered
**
Leonard came out and Mariana looked up again but this time,he didn’t spare her a glance
“Why so soon? Did they fight?” Charlotte asked
“Maybe he’s going some…..”
“Can you please stop talking about him for once?! Please!” Mariana snapped and they both stared at her in confusion
She continue eating angrilly
“What’s wrong with her?” Octavia whispers
“Maybe she suddenly remember Royce and she got mad” Charlotte whispers back
They started eating

“Mom” Ricardo called and stood up immediately his mom came downstairs
She had a total blank expression on her face
Well yes,she detest him so much. She h@ťě him a lot
“Happy birthday to you mom” Ricardo smiled,handing over the flower banquet to her
She took it coldly and Ricardo smiled
“I wanted to get you a gift but I had no idea what to get you,so…..just name anything you want and it will be yours,I promise” He said
Mrs Banks suddenly threw the flower away and Ricardo’s face fell.
“What I want? Bring back my daughter!!!! Get away from my life you murderer!!! Stay away from me!! You ki||ed my baby girl!! It was all because of you that she died!!! Leave and never come back!!!!” She yelled
Ricardo bite his lips hard,his hands were trembling
“Mom….” He called in a shaking voice
“Get lost!!” She yelled again and tears rolled down his eyes

RICARDO’S MANSION**
Ricardo was in tears as he opened the bottle of champagne,he didn’t bother using a cup
He started gulping everything down with the bottle,his heart was totally broken. Seems her hatred for him grew even more wilder this time.
His twin sister drowned about seven years ago and everyone believed she’s dead since they couldn’t find her body, everyone blamed him too.
“It’s all my fault” He said in tears
His sister had Aquaphobia,the fear of water. But that day,he had managed to convince her about going to the beach with him.
“I shouldn’t have…..I shouldn’t” He mumbled as he cried bitterly,drinking at the same time
For seven years now,his mother have h@ťěd him. So much that he had to leave the house as a minor,thank goodness for his handsome face,he was able to get into the modeling world and made it
“Dummy!” Dior called and rushed to him
She immediately took the bottle from him and hugged him tightly
“It’s okay,please don’t cry” she said
“It’s all my fault baby face,I ki||ed her. I’m a murderer” Ricardo cried on her shoulder
“Stop saying $h|t,you aren’t a murderer okay? So please” Dior said hugging him more tightly,soon,tears started rolling down her eyes too.
“I wish she’s alive,I wish she comes back. I miss her too” He sniffs
Dior started patting his back
**
“Are you sure you don’t want me to drop you home?” Octavia asked
“Of course not,I’m gonna take a cab,just go” Mariana waved
“See you tomorrow babe” Charlotte said as Octavia started the car
Mariana watched as the car left and she immediately called her driver,she told him her location
Minutes later,the driver arrived and they left together.

LEONARD’S MANSION**
Mariana entered tiredly but was again shocked to see a girl dressed like a slut in the living room
‘Will he ever change?’ She thought and sighed
The girl turned
“Who are you?” She asked
Mariana hissed and walked away without saying a word,she went upstairs and met Blue and Loki in front of her room.
“Wow,you guys have been waiting? Sorry I’m late” She immediately carried the two cats before opening the door
They kept on snuggling on her
She dropped them on the floor and got changed into a bum short and tank top
“f-__-k,my body is free now. I need a cold drink” She said and went out of the room
Blue and Loki followed too,they entered the kitchen together and Mariana turned to the cats
“You guys wanna make a deal?” She asked with a smirk as if they could hear her
She brought out a biscuit made with honey and gave them some little pieces..they ate it immediately,wanting more
“If you want more then,let’s chase the slut out first” She smiled and carried them.
She stopped at a conner where they can see the girl in the living room
“Now,go to her and scare her. Make sure she leaves this house if you want more biscuit” She said hoping the cats understand what she’s saying before dropping them
Immediately,Blue and Loki rushed into the living room toward the car
They were making scary loud sounds which immediately scared the butch
“What the f-__-k!” She screamed
But they didn’t stop,Blue immediately jumped on her and she screamed out
“Ahh!!!!”
Loki was using his paws on her legs while blue was on her
“Stop!!!!!” The girl threw blue away and she landed on the floor
Mariana gasped but blue rushed toward her again
“Ahh!!!!!” She screamed and immediately carried her bag and rushed out of the house
Mariana came out of her hiding place
“Blue,come here” She carried blue immediately
“I’m sorry” she said sadly,rubbing her fur
“Meow” Blue rest on her body
Loki also draw her leg and she carried him too
“What’s going on here?” Leonard came downstairs and Mariana dropped the cats
Leonard was surprised when he didn’t see the girl
“What did you do to her!” He yelled
“I don’t think I’m holding anybody” Mariana rolled her eyes and tried leaving
Leonard grabbed her hand and pulled her against the wall
She glared angrily at him as he brought his face close
“You chased her out,are you going to replace her? Tell me!” He snapped
“Let go of me!!”? Mariana yelled
“I’m asking you why the f-__-k you chased her Out!!,I told you to stay out of my business!!”Leonard yelled back
“If you’re frustrated,stop passing your aggressions on me! f-__-k you!” Mariana shouted
“More word from you and I’m going to f-__-k the h*ll out of your p*$$y” Leonard said and she froze
“Like that,just shut up and don’t ever talk to me as we agreed” Leonard said,looking at her angrily before walking out of the house
“I h@ťě you Leonardo Briggs!!!!” Mariana yelled
