The next morning in Paris Adrien called Chloe to the study so she walked in. "Did you think about what we talked about last night? Do you agree with the divorce?"
Chloe crossed her arms. "You're desperate to get rid of me right?"
Adrien sighs. "Chloe l never wanted to get a divorce. I thought we both could try to make this marriage work but now I'm convinced that this isn't working. Things just get worse between us. We have been unhappy for many years Chloe. I wanted to keep a family with Maya but do you think that this is a family? The environment is covered with tension and Maya who is still young is-"
"Don't use Maya as an excuse." Chloe said sternly interrupting him. "You're not thinking about her while trying to get rid of me."
"You're out of your mind if you think its another woman that is influencing me to do it." Adrien replied just as sternly.
"Of course you're doing it for another woman and I'm not talking about the Japanese woman. I thought hard last night about the situation that I lived with you and that woman. I'm referring to the street rat Mari." Chloe replied. "I'm convinced that you still love her. You want to divorce me so you can go after her. You can't live without her."
"Chloe you're insane!" Adrien exclaimed.
"No I'm not I'm sane that's why I know you want to go after Mari!" Chloe yelled.
"Chloe Mari left me. Mari doesn't love me I don't know where she even went." Adrien replied sternly.
"That won't stop you from looking for her." Chloe replied. "And when you do you'll try to convince her to get back together with you since by then you'll be divorced from me."
At that moment Ruby walked in. "Please stop fighting think about Maya she'll hear you." Adrien nodded and walked out from the study. "What's going on Chloe?"
"Adrien wants us to get divorced." Chloe replied.
"You and my brother don't get along and the best thing would be to get a divorce." Ruby stated. "You won't be able to be happy together."
"Your brother should forget about getting a divorce. He'll be married with me as long as I want him to." Ruby sighs and leaves the room. Chloe also leaves the room and she hears Audrey asking Adrien if he really wants a divorce.
"Yes Audrey there's no other choice. My life with your daughter is terrible. Talk with her and convince her that a divorce is the right path for us." Adrien walks away not seeing that Chloe was walking up to them.
"Even if you don't want it he'll put the demand for a divorce." Audrey told Chloe.
"Let him I'll just get a lawyer. Let me do things my way." Chloe replied. "I always get whatever I want and it will be the same with this."
"Just accept Adrien's conditions. You'll be free with a huge fortune." Audrey stated. "You could travel and do whatever you want. Give him the divorce."
"No I don't just want the money but also the position given to me as the wife of Dr. Agreste. Plus I also want him." Chloe replied. "And I won't let Mari have him."
"Mari is in the past there's nothing that unites them." Audrey mentioned.
"Yes there is don't forget she's going to have a baby of Adrien." Chloe replied.
"I'm glad to see you doing alright." Ruby told Mathew when she visited him and was preparing coffee for him.
"I called you last night." Mathew stated
"Really I wonder why no one told me." Ruby replied.
"Maybe because you were with Dr. Kante." Mathew stated.
"Well he did come to visit me but that wouldn't stop me from talking to you." Ruby replied. "And don't worry he's just a friend."
In the morning at California Mari and Luka were in the barn and Luka asked her where she was going to live after the baby is born. "I don't know what I'll do after the baby is born or where to go."
"You can stay here as long as you want Iris. I'll give you my house and protection." Luka replied.
Mari smiled. "Thank you Viperion but I'll accept it while I need it."
"Not just you Iris but your baby too. If you want that baby that you'll have...can also be mine." Luka stated.
"But my baby already has a father." Mari replied softly.
"He isn't at your side...or do you plan to go back with him after your baby is born?" Luka asked but Mari stayed quiet. "Right you told me you don't want to talk about him and I'm not being putent with you."
"No its not that it's just not Important." Mari replied.
"You're right the only important thing now is that your baby is born safe and sound and that you know my way of thinking." Luka stated.
Luka soon had to leave to do something and Mari stays there thinking about what he said. Soon Father Carlos came in to say goodbye since he was going to leave and Mari told him what happened. "Well the baby will need a father figure."
"My baby will always have me and that's enough." Mari replied.
"Well I still think Adrien needs to know the truth." Father Carlos stated
"He won't no one will. Viperion wants to know his name but I won't tell him." Mari replied.
Father Carlos nodded. "I didn't tell him either when he asked me because I promised you I would keep it a secret but I never agreed with you on that. Hiding something is the same as lying and the truth needs to always be out that's a law of God."
"And when will you come back?" Mari asked wanting to change the subject.
"I hope you tell me before you give birth." Father Carlos replied. "And I'll come immediately."
"I have no choice Edward." Adrien told Edward as they walked in the study. "I can't stay with Chloe. We always fight. Maya found us arguing yesterday and I don't want that to happen again. I don't want my daughter to have that kind of life."
"And what does Chloe say about your decision?" Edward asked.
"She denies it." Adrien replied.
"I'm worry about her state since she has amnesia." Edward stated.
"Chloe isn't sick Edward." Adrien replied. "I'm sure of it she never had amnesia. I'll prove it I'll hypnos her again. I failed the first time but not this time."
Natalie walked into Chloe's room. "Mrs. Chloe Mr. Adrien wants to speak with you."
Chloe sighs and heads to the study before walking in. "What do you want now Adrien."
Adrien looks at her. He was leaning on his desk. "Please sit down Chloe." Chloe sits down and Adrien slowly starts swinging a hand watch that he was holding. "And your phone?"
"In my room." Chloe replied. "Why?"
"I don't want nothing to interrupt us. We are going to have a long talk so we can find an agreement." Adrien stated. "Why should we fight when we can talk like civil people."
Chloe stares at the watch. "That tone won't work on me. You know my decision on the divorce and you won't be able to change it. If you want the divorce you'll need to demand it yourself."
"Alright I might have to demand it myself but let's do it in a calm way so we can understand each other." Adrien stated.
"Its your fault that we don't understand each other...Can you stop moving that watch it's making me nervous." Chloe said harshly.
Adrien stops moving the watch. "You don't need to be tense Chloe. Calm down so we can talk." Adrien starts to slowly swing the watch again. "You need to relax your body and mind. Look at the watch it's a slow movement." Chloe stares at the watch. "Do you feel better now?" Chloe slowly nodded. "Are you willing to answer my questions?"
"Yes." Chloe mumbles before she closed her eyes.
Adrien stops sweeping the watch and flips a sand clock and the sand starts falling down it was to let him know how long he could have Chloe hypnotized. "Let's go back in time Chloe. About two years ago. We are in a plane it's the day of the accident...Open your eyes Chloe." Chloe opens her eyes. "What day is it today?"
"September 11 the day of the accident." Chloe replied . "We were on a plane heading to Miami. I had my head on your shoulder...Suddenly the plane started failing and soon we were falling to the ocean. When the plane fell a wing broke and I was starting to drown...I saw you for a moment but the waves pushed me away and I couldn't see you anymore. I got on a wing of the plane and it started floating off. Soon I ended up on a stranded beach. I was exhausted and I couldn't get up for a long time. Then I started thinking about you and me and our life until then. From when we met...our marriage which was a faliure. I always dreamt of an exciting life but I was fed up with your coldness. I couldn't take it anymore so I decided...I wanted to escape from you forever...I started walking and hid from people especially from you. I hold tight to my jewelry box which also had my documents. I stopped by a bar near the road and I went in to celebrate my freedom." Chloe smirked. "To celebrate my new life away from you." She went on telling him names and places.
"That means that you never lost your memory?" Adrien asked losing his patience and calmness hearing everything Chloe said. "You passed of as death willingly."
"Yes." Chloe replied. "I decided to take advantage of the accident to disapear. I wanted to live my life and I thought it was the best opportunity. To escape my life with you. No one would be able to imagine the truth. It was thought that I drown and my body was never found. No one would look for me or discover me. From that moment on my new life started. I hadn fun and I enjoyed my life. I wanted to do it while I was still young and pretty."
"What made you come back to Paris?" Adrien asked.
"I run out of money." Chloe replied. "I almost had no more jewelry to sell. You canceled all of my bank accounts. Plus I had enough of my exciting life. I wanted my place back my daughter you."
"How did you arrive at the hospital where I found you?" Adrien asked harshly.
"It was easy." Chloe replied. "I dressed in rags and walked around the hospital as if I was crazy or lost my memory. I knew that you would find me there."
"LIAR!" Adrien yelled breaking Chloe's trance and she looked at him surprised confused and a bit scared from the look he was going her. "What you did has no forgiveness Chloe! You do not deserve a husband or a daughter!"
Elsa was reading a book on her bed when her phone rang so she answered it. "Hello?" There was no answer. "Hello who is this?" Still no answer. "Why did you answer?"
"Its me Elsa." Michael finally replied.
"Why did you call me Michael?" Elsa asked softly
"I need you Elsa. I'm unhappy without you. I need you to come back to me." Michael replied. "I promise you if you come back to me everything will change-"
Elsa hangs up and thinks about what she told Ruby once.
"I would like to live in peace without worrying about Michael. Even if I feel bad for him I can't stop feeling the way that I do cousin."
"What do you mean that Chloe treats you badly?" Ruby asked Kagami. She was currently in her room.
"She acts cold around me and says hurtful things but the thing that hurts me the most is how she treats her husband. I admire him since he's so good. He suffers and I would like to see him happy but his wife makes it impossible for him." Kagami replied.
"True but you don't have to worry about that Kagami." Ruby stated.
"I can't help it Mrs. Chloe is so cruel she doesn't love her husband nor her daughter." Kagami replied sadly.
Suddenly they heard yelling so Kagami and Ruby hurried out the room to see what's was going on. Ruby Audrey and Natalie who also heard the yelling went in the study while Kagami decided to stay outside to not go between a family issue. "What's going on Adrien?" Ruby asked worriedly.
Chloe hurried to stand behind Audrey afraid of what Adrien could do and Audrey looked at Natalie. "Leave this is a family matter!" Natalie nodded and left the study.
"She harmed us. Let Chloe tell you. Tell them!" Adrien said sternly.
"I don't know anything!" Chloe replied harshly. "You were the one who called me to talk. You're mad because I don't want to give you the divorce and if you don't get the divorce you can't go after Mari."
"I demand an explanation Adrien of what is happening!" Audrey yelled.
"He's mad because he can't be with Mari he probably already knows that she-"
"Chloe be quiet!" Audrey demanded.
"You're not worth anything Chloe. I'm embarrassed that you're my wife. I'm ashamed that you the mother of my daughter. I'll never forgive you for your carelessness of Maya for not having integrity for making fun of me! You want an explanation for what happened Audrey? I'll tell you with pleasure so you know who your daughter is." Adrien replied. "Without her knowing I hypnotized your daughter to know what happened when she went missing and she told me the truth. Chloe was never sick she didn't have amnesia. Chloe disappeared because she wanted to. She used the accident to get away from her place husband and daughter. She was bored with living by my side. She wanted to have fun and live intensely."
Ruby looks over at Chloe. "How could you do such a thing Chloe. Especially leave Maya what kind of mother are you!?"
"Its a lie what he said is a lie I have amnesia!" Chloe replied.
"Stop saying that! You are discovered you told me everything." Adrien stated.
"If you really did hypnotized me you made me say those things. I'll deny everything you say." Chloe replied.
"You were bored with our life weren't you? Now I have proof Chloe. Other doctors can check you and you told me the places you went to and the people you interacted with. I'll look for them." Chloe glares at him before leaving the room.
"Let her be Adrien!" Audrey demanded.
"I won't let things stay like this. I won't let Chloe hide behind her lies and stay in this house like nothing happened. I'll look for the people she interacted with and use them as witnesses to leave your daughter. You guys will have to leave this house." Adrien said sternly.
"Father Carlos told me he will come back when I give birth." Mari told Fu as they walked in her room.
"Well now I need to call two people when you give birth Father Carlos and Roland if I remember during the rush that is." Fu replied. "Do you really trust that guy Roland by the way?"
"Well he hasn't given me a reason to not trust him." Mari stated.
At that moment they heard a guitar playing and when they looked out the window they saw Luka leaning next to the tree near Mari's room playing a song on a guitar. Mari smiled and opened the back door so she could walk on the balcony and watched him play. 'open your eyes Mari Viperion is in love with you.'
Soon Luka finished his song and he looked up at her. "Did you like it?"
"It was very pretty now I'm going to bed." Mari replied.
Luka smiled. "Have a goodnight Iris."
"Goodnight." Mari walked back in the room.
"I told you Viperion is falling in love with you." Fu stated with a smile.
"Even if that is true it can't be. You know that I will only love Adrien and it will be impossible to forget about him especially since I'm going to have his baby." Mari replied. "And he promised me that he would only love me."
Soon Fu leaves the room and Mari lays on her bed and starts thinking about both Viperion and Adrien.
"I care about you Iris and I'll also care about your baby I'll be like a father to him."
"You are the only one that I ever loved. Only you who I'll love the rest of my life."
"Viperion and Adrien...what am I supposed to do?" Mari asked outloud. "If Viperion really loves me what will I do to not hurt him?"
