The next-day Mari and Fu were ready to leave when there was a knock on the door. Mari goes to the door worried since she didn't want anyone to know that they were leaving and especially hoped that it wasn't her parents. She opened the door, and it was...
"Well look who it is." Fu said standing next to Mari.
"Hi Fu so won't you invite me in?" Roland asked with a smile. Mari and Fu glance at each other.
Lila stands close to the front door of the Dupain house and calls Isabella. "Aunt Isabella its me."
"About time that you call, I have been waiting for your call." Isabella replied.
"I couldn't call you sooner I didn't want them to suspect anything." Lila replied. "They think I'm against you since you also lied to me."
"Well what happened? What agreement did you make with them?" Isabella asked.
"Well like I told you when you left it seems like we won the battle. Tom isn't a problem, but I'm waiting to see Sabine to see what she thinks. She doesn't seem to be in my side." Lila stated.
"Act as innocent as possible act as the victim blame everything on me but you have to stay there." Isabella replied.
Lila hears Sabine. "I have to go Sabine is coming. I'll let you know what happens." She hangs up just as Sabine walks to the main hall.
"Why the gloom face Adrien?" Edward asked as they were having coffee in Adrien's office.
"I could barely sleep last night." Adrien replied.
"After Chloe's appearance alive you should be happy that your marriage with Mari was in the process of divorce." Edward stated. "Imagine if you and Mari were happy right now-"
"No Edward if Mari and I were happy right now I would have defended that happiness." Adrien answered
Suddenly, the door burst opened, and Audrey walked in. "Adrien is it possible?"
Adrien stood up. "Yes Audrey it's possible."
"I can't believe it my daughter Chloe alive." Audrey said with a smile.
"Good morning can I talk to you? It well only take a minute." Lila said softly to Sabine.
"I'm sorry Lila, I have to go look for Mari." Sabine replied.
"I just wanted to know what you decided about me." Lila added.
"Um we have to go out." Fu stated.
"I need to talk with Mari." Roland replied.
"We're in a hurry Roland." Mari added with a smile.
"Where are you going?" Roland asked. "I can take you in my car." Mari and Fu glance at each other again. "Am I missing something?"
Mari sighs. "No nothing come in."
Roland walks in. "Mari you look nervious."
"No I'm not nervious." Mari said sitting on a chair.
"Well are you still deciding to not be an actress?" Roland asked. Mari nodded. "Why give me a reason."
"Just because." Mari simply said.
Roland walks closer to her then he noticed the suitcases. "Are you going somewhere Mari?"
"If Mari comes back I'll have to go right?" Lila added.
"Its for the best don't you think?" Sabine asked.
"Yes but knowing the truth my impression of Mari changed. I know what her place in this house is and what mine is. I would get along better with her." Lila replied.
"I don't doubt it but there's one small detail." Sabine stated. "I'll do everything in my power for my daughter Mari and Adrien Agreste to get back together." Lila holds back her anger.
"Why this Mari? Do you plan to leave?" Roland asked sternly.
Mari stands up. "Yes Roland I plan to leave very far away."
"Where are you going? Why? What's the reason?" Roland starts shaking her by her shoulders.
Fu goes in between the two. "Leave her alone you might hurt the baby she is expecting."
"FU you just blew it." Mari said frustrated.
"Now everything makes sense that's why you don't want to work for now." Roland replied.
"I'm sorry dear I just got worried when he started shaking you." Fu stated.
Roland nodded. "And of course it's Adrien Agreste's baby. What are you running away from? Of Adrien?"
"Adrien doesn't know anything, and I don't want him to know anything. Understand me?" Mari asked sternly.
"It almost seems like you're glad to kick me out." Lila replied.
"No Lila, nevertheless, I can't forget that my real daughter left this house because of you." Sabine replied. "I didn't want you to be in the streets at night I gave you some prudent time to leave the house, but now it's necessary for you to do so. I'm really sorry Lila, but my daughter is in top of everything. I'm going to look for her, and like I said I'll do everything in my power so Mari stays with Adrien. bye Lila." With that, Sabine leaves the house.
Adrien takes Audrey to the psychological hospital, and she hurries to Chloe, who was siting on a bench. She sits next to her and hugs her as she cries in joy seeing her daughter alive. That's when she noticed that Chloe wasn't reacting at all. She cries in sadness now and begs Chloe to remember her and to look at her. Unable to deal seeing Audrey like that he gently stands her up. "Audrey please."
"I can't handle seeing her like that what's wrong with her?" Audrey asked still in tears.
"It seems like a total amnesia." Adrien replied.
"Well, she get cued?"
"With the right treatments yes."
"Why don't you take her home does she bother you?" Audrey asked.
"No she doesn't bother me, but she is best treated here." Adrien stated. Audrey went back with Chloe and hugged her.
"You won't tell him right? You will keep the secret right? Please everything between us is over, and I just want to go far away and forget that he existed. That he was never in my life." Mari stated.
A knock was heard on the door before Father Carlos walked in. "Are you ready-" Father Carlos notices Roland. "Didn't you tell me that you wanted no one to know you were leaving Marinette? What is he doing here?"
"Yes Father I only told Alya, and she promised not to tell until after we left, and he came for an unexpected visit." Mari replied.
"Where are you taking her Father?" Roland asked.
"No don't tell him where he already knows I'm pregnant, but he already promised me that he won't tell anyone, especially not Adrien." Mari said glaring at Roland.
"Well we will be late to the airport if we don't go now." Mari and Fu nodded grabbing their stuff, and Roland sighed following everyone out but before walking out Mari took a last glance of the first place she ever called home and smiled sadly before walking out.
Tom was in his study when there was a knock on the door. "Come in."
Lila walked in. "I now have all my things to leave. I wanted to thank you for giving me a car and here are the keys." Lila said softly as she put the keys on his desk.
"What did Sabine tell you?" Tom asked.
"That I can't stay." Lila replied.
Tom stood up. "Let me talk to her again."
"I don't think it will work Mrs. Sabine went to get Mari to bring her here." Lila stated.
"Call me tomorrow at my office, I'm worried about your fate, and I'll help you somehow." Tom replied. "Now I'm leaving I don't want to be here when Mari comes." Tom leaves the study, and Lila takes the car keys again with a smirk.
Sabine went into Mari's apartment complex and asked a boy where Mari lived. Once she was told she went to the front door and knocked. Having no answer Sabine knocks again calling out Mari's and Fu's name a couple of times. Alya walked over to her. "Can I help you Mrs.?"
"I'm looking for Mari." Sabine replied.
"She's not here neither is Fu." Alya stated.
"Do you know when they're coming back?" Sabine asked.
"I don't think they are coming back." Alya replied.
Sabine looks at her shocked. "What?"
"Mari and Fu left Paris, but they didn't say if they were coming back." Alya added.
"Do you know where they went?" Sabine asked.
Alya shook her head. "No they didn't tell me. No one knew they were leaving Mari told me at the last minute, and she asked me not to say anything until she was gone." Sabine felt dizzy for a moment. "Are you okay?" Alya asked worriedly.
Sabine takes a deep breath. "Yes I'm okay thank you."
"Do I prepare the same room for Mrs. Audrey?" Natalie asked Adrien in the library.
Adrien nodded. "Yes please Natalie she'll be here any moment. I just want to tell you one thing. Audrey should have no kind of influence toward Maya. She should be with her the least time possible, and she can't order anything to do with Maya. A tutor/nany will come to take care of my daughter. If you see Audrey getting into Maya's business let me know as soon as possible alright?"
Natalie nodded. "Yes sir."
Later, Adrien was in the living room talking with Stella over the phone. "Did you put out the announcement for the tutor Stella?...perfect thank you bye." Adrien hangs up and sits on the couch.
"Adrien." Lila said walking over to him in tears.
Adrien stands up. "What's wrong?"
"Something terrible the Dupain kicked me out from their house." Lila replied sadly.
Adrien raises an eyebrow. "Your parents kicked you out from your house?"
Lila looks down. "The Dupain aren't my parents." Adrien looks at her surprised. Lila looks back up. "I found out two days ago that I wasn't their daughter. Luckily my-Mr. Tom is in my part, but Mrs. Sabine kicked me out I'm desperate Adrien."
"How is this possible?" Adrien asked.
"It was all a lie by Isabella. She used us for her ambition." Lila replied. "You won't believe who their real daughter is."
"Who?" Adrien asked.
"Mari." Adrien looks at her in shock.
Mari looked out the window of the plane before it took off. 'Please help me God. I'm going far away from Paris, and I don't know when I'm coming back. I'm going to have a baby, and that is the most important thing for me. Please don't forget about us; we'll need you a lot...'
"Mari is their daughter?" Adrien asked in disbelief.
Lila nodded in tears. "I lost who I loved as my parents. Please let me live here Adrien."
Adrien sighs. "I'm sorry Lila that can't be. My wife Chloe who we all thought was dead is alive and she came back."
"Could you figure out where she went?" Sabine asked Alya with hope.
"I don't know how Mrs." Alya replied. "I think they left in secret because like I said before they didn't tell anyone that they were leaving."
Sabine sighs. "I need to find Mari."
"Parden me Mrs. but who are you?" Alya asked politely.
"My name is Sabine Dupain-Cheng, I'm Judge Tom Dupain's wife and Mari's mother." Sabine replied and Alya looks at her surprised.
"How is it possible that she appeared alive after so long what did she tell you?" Lila asked Adrien confused.
"Chloe is ill she has lost her memories completely." Adrien replied.
"Since the accident?"
"I don't think so it seems like she had another accident not so long ago." Adrien stated.
"So with your first wife appearing you-"
"I'm still married to her, and my marriage to Mari was automatically canceled." Adrien finished for her, and Lila starts laughing. "Can I know what's so funny? I don't think the situation is to laugh at."
"Sorry it must be a nervious laugh. Poor Sabine she is hoping-well hoped for you and Mari to get back together." Lila replied.
A woman reads Adrien's announcement from her computer. "I'm looking for a tutor/nanny for a seven-year-old girl. Have a good education and appearance. Communicate with Dr. Adrien Agreste at..."
"Hi Lila." Audrey said as she walked to the living room a little after Adrien left.
Lila smiled. "Hi I found out you were bringing your things, and I decided to wait for you."
"Do you know about Chloe?" Audrey asked.
Lila nodded. "Yes Adrien just told me it's incredible."
"Chloe is sick but alive, and that's the important thing and Adrien says she'll get cued." Audrey replied with a smile. "And how are you doing?"
Lila looks down. "Not so good. I need to tell you something terrible...I'm in the streets and I don't know where to go because it was discovered that I'm not the real daughter of the Dupain." Lila starts telling her the cover story. "Isabella lied to them and me. She made us believe that I was the daughter Sabine abandoned as a new-born baby."
"That's such a story." Audrey replied.
Lila nodded. "Yes and there's something else. You won't believe who their real daughter is...its Mari."
Audrey looks at her shocked with her mouth opened. "What?! That street rat has always gone in your path." The phone of the house starts ringing and Audrey answers. "Hello?...by who?...its about the announcement asking for a tutor?...we already found someone thank you for calling." Audrey hangs up. "I just thought of the perfect idea so you can stay in this house."
As Mari got off the plane, she saw a sign that read California LA, and she remembers when she came here with Adrien for their honeymoon. "We're going to stay here father?"
"No Mari you're going to stay in a city that is about an hour away from here called Oak Hills but there are no airports there so that's why we took the flight to LA." Father Carlos replied.
"So how are we going to get their father?" Mari asked.
Before Father Carlos could answer two men walked over to them. "Are you Father Carlos Glass?" The oldest man asked.
Father Carlos nodded. "Yes, that's me."
"Hi Father Carlos do you remember me? its Ivan." The youngest man asked shaking Father Carlos's hand.
Father Carlos smiled.. "Of course Ivan, and you must be Mr. Jacob." He said to the oldest man, and the man nodded.
"Please just call me Jacob. We'll be taking you to the ranch Miss. Juleka is waiting for you." Jacob stated.
Mari stayed quiet throughout the whole car ride and after an hour, she saw a beautiful mansion with a big front garden, and she saw people dressed like county folk working everywhere. Once the car parked she got out with everyone else. Jacob and Ivan helped them carry their stuff, and they led them to the front door. "Please come in." Ivan said with a smile as they walked in.
"Uncle Carlos!" A woman with dark long hair with purple tips exclaimed as she hugged Father Carlos.
Father Carlos hugged her back. "Hi Juleka." He breaks the hug and turns to Mari and Fu. "I brought some friends the ones I told you about. Fu and Marinette."
"Nice to meet you." Fu said shaking her hand.
Mari smiled at her. "Hi and please call me Mari it's shorter."
"Nice to meet you too." Juleka replied with a smile.
"Thank you for letting them stay here Juleka." Father Carlos stated.
Juleka nodded. "It's my pleasure though Viperion has the final word, and I didn't get a chance to tell him since he is on a trip but he should be back today, and I'm sure I can convince him to let them stay."
"Who's Viperion?" Mari asked curiously.
"That's what my brother is called, well his nickname anyway. He's the owner of this ranch after our parents died last year." Juleka replied.
"And of course he's on a trip he always liked traveling." Father Carlos stated with a smile.
Juleka sighed."Yes but...suddenly he came back and stayed at the ranch without leaving again unless for business of the ranch that happened, a few months before mom and dad died. Let's wait for him and see whether he will let you stay, but in the meantime you must be hungry from the long flight let's go to the dinning room breakfast is set up already." As they walked to the dinning room, Mari had to remind herself about the time difference and that Paris was nine hours ahead so even though she had breakfast before she left she'll eat breakfast here since its only 8AM.
"You can take care of Maya. She gets along with you, and she likes you and I prefer that you take care of my granddaughter and not a stranger. Plus I know that you will respect the return of my daughter Chloe Adrien's wife. What do think about my plan?" Audrey asked.
Lila smiled. "I think it's great."
"Well wait for Adrien and talk to him. I need to go now I think I should be settled in by Saturday." Lila nodded as Audrey walked away.
Soon Adrien walks in the living room. "Someone just called about an announcement you put out for a tutor." Lila informed him.
"What did you tell them?" Adrien asked.
"That you weren't here and to call later." Lila replied. "...Adrien, please give me that spot."
Adrien sighs. "I don't think it would be prudent. I'm going to bring Chloe back here and-"
"I understand that everything would be different with your wife back, but I'm sure Audrey won't mind." Lila stated.
"Lila honestly, you don't have what I'm looking for. I'm sorry, but my daughter needs someone capable and experienced to do that kind of job, and I don't think you have that. Maya is unstable, and I can't risk her health just to help you." Lila just walks away and Adrien sighs. Just than the house phone rings and he answers. "Hello?"
"With Dr. Agreste please." A woman's voice said in the other line.
"He's speaking." Adrien replied sitting on the couch.
"I'm calling about the announcement asking fot a tutor." The woman stated.
"Do you fulfil the conditions?" Adrien asked.
"I think so that's why I'm calling you." The woman replied.
Adrien looks at the time. "Can you come this evening for an interview?"
"Yes I can." The woman answered.
Lila walked into the living room and saw Sabine sitting on a couch. "Hi sorry that I haven't left yet like you asked me, but I had some things to do." Lila looks around. "And Mari? Did she reject you?"
"I couldn't find her Mari disappeared." Sabine replied in tears.
"Wow this food is amazing." Fu said as they were eating.
Juleka nodded. "The food here is better than most places since its fresh."
"You barely ate Marinette." Father Carlos stated.
"I wasn't really hungry...Juleka can I go to the countryside?" Mari asked politely.
Juleka nodded. "Of course."
Mari stood up. "Excuse me." She walked out and just took a walk around. As she walked she saw a dove on the ground with a broken wing. "Aw poor thing." She picked it up gently and sat down under a tree.
"What are you doing here?" Mari looked up before quickly standing up seeing a man on a horse. He had a dark blue button up shirt with black pants and brown boots. His hair was dark blue that gets lighter on the tips. "Who are you?" He asked sternly.
