Once Sabine and Lila got to LA they got in the car Tom rented and drove to Oak Hills. "Do you think that it will take long to get there?"

"Based on the address that you have it should take an hour." Lila replied.

"Once we get to Oak Hills we'll stop at a gas station and ask for the fastest way to the hidden ranch." Sabine stated and Lila nodded. "At least smile I know that you came only as an obligation but still."

"No I'm just stressed I never rode in these streets." Lila replied. They soon got to Oak Hills and they stopped at a gas station. They got out and headed to the store. "I don't think the hidden ranch is famous I mean there must be a reason it's called the hidden ranch you're just wasting your time."

"It doesn't hurt to ask." Sabine stated before going to the cashier. "Excuse me do you know where the hidden ranch is at?"

"Of course I do it's the most famous ranch in the city. Here I'll give you the address." The cashier wrote down the directions before handing it to Sabine. "You should be careful though we had a terrible storm recently and a lot of roads were damaged."

"Thank you." Sabine took the paper and they headed back to the car.

"Do you think that this new car well handle the roads if they're as damaged as the cashier said?" Lila asked.

"Most likely and if not Tom will just pay for the damages." Sabine replied as they got in the car.


"I need to go to Adrien." Mari said standing up starting to tear up. "I can't leave Adrien by himself he needs me. He must be suffering. I know that he didn't kill anyone and if he did kill her it was by accident and must be suffering even more. He might have his lawyer and other people to help him with the trail but I can give him what they can't. Adrien must be lonely and anxious and he needs my support I have to go with him. I need to tell him how I feel. I only left Adrien because he was tied to another woman. When I went to tell him I was pregnant I found out his first wife was still alive and came back and I was nothing to him but now he's free and I still love him."

"What about Viperion did you forget about him?" Fu asked curiously. "You're engaged to another man. You're going to marry him very soon. Viperion went to his business trip trusting you. He sent Jacob to get your paperwork. Juleka is getting all the preparations for the party. For your wedding with him. You're the bride of Luka Couffaine. You're going to abandon Viperion? He has been good to you and abandoning him two days before the wedding is something ungrateful."

"Why are you telling me all of this Fu?" Mari asked in tears.

"I might be doing something wrong but I'm only reminding you of things you can't forget." Fu replied.

"You're doing good and I know I'm doing something terrible to Viperion but my feelings aren't the only thing that count. Adrien is Adrienne's father." Mari stated. "Do you think that I have a right to forbid Adrienne from never getting the love of her father? What if she found out that I lied to her over time? That Viperion isn't her father don't you think that it will hurt her?"

"Are you thinking about that just now?" Fu asked.

"Of course not Fu I have been thinking about it since the beginning. The doubts has always tormented me. I wasn't sure if I was doing the right thing. Though deep down something was letting me accept the love that Luka was offering me and Adrienne. Though it was only because her father already had a different family and he had to be with them. He couldn't give Adrienne the love or home that she deserves. Now its possible Fu Adrienne can have her real father. Plus my real love is Adrien he has always been and always will." Mari replied. "Remember when I told you that I wanted to run away from here since I was afraid to fall in love with Viperion?" Fu nodded. "I was afraid to fall in love with another man because it would be like betraying myself. I wanted to be loyal to that love untill I died. I know what I did and I'm ashamed with him because I know that I'll hurt him. He doesn't deserves this but...Adrien doesn't deserve to suffer either. Plus a lot more things unite me to Adrien like our daughter. Nothing seperates us now help me Fu to pick up all of our things we are leaving this very moment."

They started packing and let Juleka know and she sadly told Ivan to get the car ready. Once Mari and Fu were done packing Juleka walked in the room. "Ivan has the car ready."

Mari nodded. "Juleka please tell Luka to forgive me and to forget about me but please don't tell him who I really am. Especially not where to find me it's best for the both of us. Do you promise me?" Juleka nodded crossing her arms upset. "I would love to stay but I can't. Thank you for everything Juleka. Thank you for the care and help I found in you Luka Ivan his wife Mylene Rose and her husband Ali. I'll always have you in my heart." Juleka started tearing up and hugged her and Mari hugged back as both started crying. Soon their things were in the car and they headed off.

"Now I don't even know where we are." Lila said to prevent Sabine from finding Mari.

Sabine suddenly saw a sign hidden in the brushes. "There's a sign that says the hidden ranch it must be that way where that black car is coming from." Lila sighs and drives to the street passing the black car that was heading the opposite way what they didn't know was that Mari was in the car.

At that same time a taxi was driving Luka back home. "Were you away for a long time Mr. Viperion?"

"Only for a few days but I was anxious to come back." Luka replied.

"I can image why actually I know why. It's no secret that you're getting married soon and congratulations the woman is very pretty." The driver stated.

Luka smiled. "Yes she's very pretty and very kind I know that I'll be very happy with her by my side the rest of my life. I can't wait to go home to be by my future wife's side." He looks out the window and doesn't see his black car on the other side driving pass going the opposite direction.

Sabine and Lila arrived to the ranch and Sabine knocked on the door. Soon Juleka opened the door. "Is this the ranch of Mr. Luka Couffaine?"

"Yes but Viperion isn't here." Juleka replied and they looked at her confused. "Sorry Mr. Couffaine isn't here. He went on a trip and he hasn't come back yet."

"No I'm not looking for him I'm looking for Mari." Sabine replied.

Juleka heart stopped. "Who are you Mrs?"

"I'm Mari's mother." Sabine replied. "She's here right do you know her?"

Juleka looked at her surprised. "Did my uncle sent you?"

"Who's your uncle?" Sabine asked.

"Father Carlos Glass." Juleka replied.

Sabine smiled. "It is here I knew it. Please tell me where my daughter is I want to see her just don't tell her I'm here just take me to her."

Juleka sighs. "I'm sorry but you can't see her...since Mari isn't here anymore. If you came a little earlier you would have found her she left 15 minutes ago and won't come back. She lived with us along with Fu. Good and bad things happened and when everyone seemed to get close to her...she suddenly decides to leave."

Sabine starts to tear up. "Do you know where she went?"

"No she didn't tell me nighter did I want to know it's best that I don't know." Juleka replied.

"Than let's go we have nothing to do here." Lila stated. Sabine sadly nodded and got in the car just as Lila was going to get in she saw Luka walking up to the house.

Luka noticed them. "Can I help you?"

"Nope we are just about to leave." Lila replied before getting in the car and driving off.

Luka walks closer to Juleka. "Who were those two women Juleka." Juleka doesn't respond she was trying to find a way to tell him the bad news. Luka looked at her closely. "Juleka were you crying? Juleka why are you crying is something wrong? Where's Iris?"

"Don't look for her Luka...Iris left...she left to never come back." Juleka replied.

Luka's heart stopped. "You're joking Juleka."

"No I wouldn't joke about something like that she left a couple minutes ago. Don't ask me where she went because I don't know all I know is that she left with Simon and Adrienne." Juleka replied.

Luka dropped his suitcase and ran to Mari's room and Juleka ran after him. When Luka opened the room he saw the room just like it was before Mari went to the ranch it was like she was never there.

As Lila drove back to the airport Sabine cried the whole time. "I couldn't find Mari what am I going to do now?"

"Calm down things happen for a reason if you couldn't find Mari this time it will be in another time." Lila replied irritated with her crying though she hid it.

"What other time? We found her and lost her it's like destiny is trying to separate us." Sabine replied.

"I'm sorry it hurts me that you couldn't see her like you desired." Lila lied.

"I lost my daughter a second time and I think that this time it's for good because I lost all hope." Sabine said crying harder.


"What absurd things are you saying?!" Audrey exclaimed to Ruby as she stays quiet. "How dare you say that my daughter killed someone and the police is looking for her? That is a lie to stain Chloe's memory."

"What's going on?" Adrien asked walking up to them.

"The sweet Ruby is saying terrible things about Chloe going to the extreme saying that Chloe was capable of killing someone. Are you informed of the absurd things that she is saying?" Audrey asked.

"Ruby only said the truth Chloe killed a man in the United States." Adrien replied. "The police have been looking for her. If you don't believe us that's fine sooner or later you'll find out the truth since the investigaters will confirm it." With that Adrien walks away but Audrey follows him to the study. "What do you want now Audrey?"

"I was going to ignore what you and Ruby said but that's impossible. Now clear to me about that lie you made up to stain Chloe's memory." Audrey said sternly.

"It's funny that you don't believe us since you knew Chloe so well and knew what she was capable of." Adrien replied as sternly as her.

"Of course I don't believe you I know that everything is a lie to stain Chloe's memory." Audrey stated putting her hands on her hips.

"Like her memory can be any more stained than what it already is." Adrien replied. "You're just afraid I'll use this information in the trail but you're wrong about that. I'm not doing this for your daughter though but for my daughter who is the only one that counts in this case."

"How cute thank you." Audrey said sarcastically. "Now it seems that you're such a good father. Who do you think well believe that?"

"Everyone because the truth will come out and everyone will see that Kagami is an innocent sick person not like your daughter." Adrien replied.

"Chloe had a lot of friendships and they will confirm that she was a decent person incapable of hurting anyone. Much less kill anyone." Audrey stated.

"That's not what the police think. Here call the investigaters so they can convince you." Adrien hands Audrey a business card. "They'll tell you about a criminal that happened to be your daughter." Audrey took the business card and walked away.

Audrey went to the living room and walked around. "He's lying my daughter wasn't a murderer she couldn't have killed anyone." Audrey grabed the phone and dailed the number on the card. "Please communicate me with Mr. Tall...its to ask him certain information." The detective confirmed everything to her and after her phone call Audrey sat on the couch in denial. "No it can't be...my daughter wasn't innocent but she wasn't a murderer. It must be a mistake Chloe...Chloe couldn't be capable of killing anyone."


"I couldn't do anything Iris didn't want to wait and I couldn't force her to stay." Juleka told Luka as they walked to the living room. "You think that it didn't hurt me that she left?"

"Why did she do it Juleka?" Luka asked. "Iris had to tell you."

"I don't know." Juleka replied.

"Did those two women have anything to do with it?" Luka asked.

"No Iris doesn't even know that they came to see her." Juleka replied.

"Who were they?" Luka asked.

"The younger women I don't know but the other women was Iris's mother." Juleka replied.

Luka looked at her surprised. "The mother? Why didn't you tell me at that moment?"

"It didn't came to mind I was scared and trying to find a way to tell you and worried to see how you would react knowing that she abandoned you." Juleka replied.

"Did that so called Roland came to visit her?" Luka asked sternly.

"No just those two women and they didn't even see her since she already left." Juleka replied.

"How did she leave?" Luka asked.

"Ivan took them to the airport." Juleka replied.

"Tell Ivan to come." Juleka nodded and walked away.

Soon Juleka came back with Ivan. "What can I do for you Mr. Viperion?"

"When you took Iris Simon and Adrienne to the airport did they mentioned by any chance where they were going?" Luka asked.

"Not a single word sir they didn't speak at all." Ivan replied.

"What flight did they take?" Luka asked.

"I don't know they only let me help them take their things inside than they waited until I was gone." Ivan replied.

Luka sighs. "There's no doubt that Iris didn't want me to know where she was going but why? What did I do for her to leave?"


During the plane ride back home Mari stayed quiet and looked out the window. "I guess this is good bye Simon and Iris and hello Fu and Mari." Fu said with a soft chuckle trying to cheer her up. Mari looked at him and just nodded. "Are you sure that you're doing the right thing you basically had everything back at the ranch. What if Adrien tells you something you don't want to hear who knows maybe he got married again or that he doesn't love you anymore."

"Nothing worst can happen to me than what has already happened to me." Mari replied and Fu nodded.

They soon got to Paris and they got off the plane. The biggest struggle for them was carrying everything that they had since they had more things to carry now than when they left since now Mari had a baby and baby things that she didn't have before. It took three taxi's to take everything that they had to their old neighborhood and when they were there Mari had to kick boxes to move them since she was carrying a sleeping Adrienne as Fu carried other things while also kicking boxes and suitcases. Even than they had to make a second round to move things.

Alya was walking back home from work when she saw them. She smiled and ran to them before hugging them. "Fu! Mari! You're finally back I'm so happy to see you." She suddenly noticed all the thing that they had. "What's all of this?"

"All of our things mind helping us?" Fu asked.

"Sure." Alya grabed some things and helped them go in the apartment complex and she noticed the things that they had and what or more like who Mari was holding.

"Its good to be back at my neighborhood." Fu said looking around the apartment complex. "Alya only you have seen us. Please don't tell anyone that we're here well you can tell your mom if you want but no one else okay. We are very tired and not in the mood to give explanations to anyone right now."

Alya nodded. "Don't worry I won't tell anyone. Though I'm curious Mari is that baby and all these baby stuff yours?"

Fu and Mari nodded with a smile. "Yes Alya this is my daughter Adrienne. She's sleeping right now but I'll formally introduce you to her tomorrow."

Alya smiled. "Well this is a double surprise. Did you already eat? If not you can have dinner with my mom and I."

"That would be nice let's first take all of this to our house." Fu stated and Alya nodded as she helped them put everything in the house. "It's all dusty in here."

Alya laughed softly. "Well it has been abandoned for months."

"Well you'll see in no time I'll make this place shine." Fu replied.

"Well I'll let my mom know that you're coming over for dinner come whenever you're settled." Alya stated before leaving the house.

"Well we are back to our old lifes." Fu said as he sat on the couch.

Mari nodded sitting next to him. "Everything is the same that it seems that we never left. Though I left with a broken heart and with empty hands but now I have Adrienne."
