Soon Mari was walking in her house and Fu looked at her. "You're finaly back what happened did you talk to Adrien?"
Mari walks to Adrienne who was in her basket. "No he wasn't there." Mari said before bursting out in tears.
Fu walked over to her. "What's wrong dear?"
Mari hugs him. "He doesn't love me Fu. Adrien doesn't love me anymore he loves someone else he loves the woman that killed Chloe."
Fu breaks the hug and looks at her surprised. "What did you say?"
Mari picks up Adrienne. "He's going to marry her. He's waiting for her to get freed to marry her. Ruby even defends her saying that she's a good person. I didn't want to believe it at first since Lila first told me...but Ruby confirmed it. I was waiting for Adrien to tell him that I still love him and that he has my support for everything...that he had me and Adrienne however at that time he was at the trail helping her."
"So what are we going to do now?" Fu asked.
"All I know is that I need to face my error. I was wrong to think that Adrien was still waiting for me and that we could be happy. Now I have to deal with not having everything that Luka offered me." Mari replied.
"Are you sure that you're not hoping for a chance with Adrien?" Fu asked.
"No Fu he probably already forgotten me." Mari replied.
Tom walked over to Adrien. "Adrien."
Adrien looked at him. "How are you Tom?"
"Good what are you doing in the hallway why aren't you inside?" Tom asked.
"Audrey is in there and I don't want to deal with her." Adrien replied.
"I see did the trail end for today?" Tom asked.
"No they're still inside." Adrien replied.
"I was going to come earlier but Sabine was very nervous since she went to look for-" Tom started.
Suddenly people started leaving the trail room. "I think that the trail is over." Adrien stated. They walked to Mike who was talking to Kagami from the bars. Mike and Tom started talking and Adrien walked over to Kagami. "How do you feel Kagami."
"Good." Kagami replied.
"Calm?" Kagami nodded. "Don't lose your sanity Kagami." Kagami nodded again before she was taken away.
"Did you see?" Audrey's lawyer said to Audrey and the lawyer of the public.
"They can't even pretend that there's anything between them." The lawyer of the public stated and Audrey nodded.
"I'm sure that the judge won't have pity with her or him." With that Audrey walks away.
"Mari must have come back to Paris." Sabine said as she laid down on her bed. "If only someone would help me but who? Tom is hesitant Lila wouldn't do it...what if I call Adrien I'm sure that he would be happy to know that Mari is back in Paris...but if Mari doesn't want to see him it would be worst. It will be harder for her to accept me as a mother and I need to achieve that." Sabine stands up and paces around her room. "She has to be in Paris but where...her house in the neighborhood of course why didn't I think about it sooner." She quickly leaves the room.
Adrien lays in his bed thinking about Mari. "My dear Mari...I will never forget about the time we were together and we loved each other." Adrien thinks about their wedding night. "Ruby told me that you were going to get married however I'm being selfish because I wouldn't want you to...I feel like you only belong to me."
Mari sat on her bed feeding Adrienne while thinking about Adrien. "I'm sorry Adrienne you'll never meet your dad. He loved me just as much as I loved him that's why you're here right now. We were sadly never ment to be yet I still love him. You can be sure of one thing your dad is a great man he is not here with us only because he doesn't know about you." When she was done feeding Adrienne she laid her down in her basket before going to the kitchen to eat dinner. "Fu does anyone know we are here?"
"Only Alya and her mom and we can trust them." Fu replied. "Though if we are going to stay in Paris we should let people know we can't stay hidden forever. I mean we need to earn money I should make and sell teas again."
"Don't worry Fu I'll be the one working while you take care of Adrienne." Mari stated.
"You know you should figure out who your parents are. Maybe they have a lot of money and they could help you." Fu replied.
"I don't want to know them with or without money." Mari stated. They suddenly heard a knock on the door. "Who could that be?" She asked worriedly.
"It must be Alya or Marlena I'll open the door." Fu replied.
"No wait don't open the door without knowing who it is look though the window of the bathroom." Mari stated. Fu nodded and went to the bathroom to take a look. Soon Fu comes back. "Who is it Fu?"
"It's the wife of Judge Dupain." Fu replied and Mari looked at him confused.
"Mrs. Sabine?" Fu nodded as more knocks are heard.
"Do I open the door?" Fu asked.
"No don't open the door. Let her knock until she gets tired." Mari replied.
Outside Sabine kept knocking until Mrs. Gate the neighbor walked up to her. "Who are you looking for Mrs.?"
"For Mari and Fu." Sabine replied.
"Those two left Paris a long time ago and haven't come back." Mrs. Gate stated not knowing that they did return to Paris.
Sabine sighs and starts to tear up before walking away. Inside Mari looked at Fu. "I heard her talking to someone she should be leaving now."
"Let me look though the window again." Fu said before walking to the bathroom.
"It's odd that Mrs. Sabine was here she should have known by Father Carlos that we left. She couldn't have known that we came back." Mari said to herself.
Soon Fu came back. "She left."
"Why do you think that she came?" Mari asked.
"Who knows I kinda wanted to open the door to find out." Fu replied before seeing Mari's sad expression. "What's wrong?"
"I kinda hoped that it was Adrien." Mari replied. "Ruby must've told him that I was in his house."
"How is it possible that Sabine didn't say where she was going? Plagg saw her leave but she didn't tell him where she was going." Tom said pacing around the living room.
"I wasn't here." Lila stated.
"Where could have she gone at night? At the state that she is in you shouldn't have left her alone Lila." Tom replied.
"I'm sorry dad but she locked herself in her room and when I left she seemed calm." Lila stated.
Tom sighs. "And I had to stay at the trail." At that moment Sabine walked in the room. "You're finally back what were you doing out at night by yourself?"
"I went to look for our daughter." Sabine replied. "I went to the neighborhood that she lived with Fu."
"Did you find her?" Lila asked almost showing her fear but Sabine shook her head no.
"Why did you go there?" Tom asked.
"I was thinking about where she could've gone and I thought that maybe she could be there I went there and knocked for a while but there was no answer and a neighbor said that they haven't returned." Sabine replied tearing up before Tom hugged her.
"Just forget about Mari." Tom stated.
"How can I forget about our daughter? I can't do that Tom as long as I have hope and an idea of where she could be I'll keep looking." Sabine replied.
Plagg walked in the room. "Dinner is served."
"I'm not hungry I'm going to lay down. Don't worry about me Tom I'm just tired." Sabine said before walking away and Plagg followed her.
"Like always you are in charge while I'm gone." Luka told Juleka as he headed to the front door. "And I don't know when I'm coming back."
"Okay but why are you going so late why don't you wait until tomorrow morning?" Juleka asked.
"No I want to go to Paris as soon as possible." Luka replied.
"Oh you're going to Paris...where are you going to live?" Juleka asked.
"In a hotel I'll be back after I find Iris." Luka replied. "...Juleka what's Iris last name?"
"Honestly I never knew Iris's last name Luka." Juleka stated and for the first time during that situation she wasn't lying.
Luka sighs. "We knew so little of her."
Juleka nodded. "There was no reason to ask. Our uncle brought her here to give her shelter for some time-"
"Uncle Carlos that's it! He should know where she is I'll go with him first to look for her." Luka hugs Juleka before walking away.
The next morning in Paris Fu and Mari were having breakfast. "So what are we going to do Mari? I don't understand why you don't want me to make and sell tea again?"
"I don't want you to get sick like last time." Mari replied.
"But I worked at the ranch and I was fine." Fu stated.
"That's different because you did light workload but making tea and selling them is bad for your lungs back and heart." Mari replied.
"Than what will come from us?" Fu asked.
"Let the work and earning money up to me." Mari replied. "You will stay here taking care of your granddaughter or do you not like doing that?"
"Of course I do." Fu stated.
"Than here you go." Marri hands Adrienne to Fu. "I need to go."
"What if the neighbors see you?" Fu asked.
"I told you last night that it doesn't matter if people know that we are here since we're staying." Mari replied before walking away. Outside she gets on her bike before riding though the neighborhood like she used to. She was greeted by people that missed her than she noticed someone holding a newspaper with the news of Kagami's trail saying that Adrien was defending her and she sighs before riding off.
Maya walked in the the living room and sat next to Audrey on the couch. "Good morning grandma Audrey you woke up early today."
"I need to go out." Audrey replied.
"Where?" Maya asked.
"Don't ask questions Maya I'm still forbidden to tell you things." Audrey replied. "But I hope you can know them soon."
"What do I need to know grandma?" Maya asked curiously.
"The truth about your mother." Audrey replied.
"Is mommy coming back?" Maya asked curiously.
"No this time she left forever Maya." Audrey replied.
"I don't think so everyone leaves than comes back. Mari also came back." Maya stated happily. "She came to the house and I played with her."
At that moment Ruby walked into the living room. "Is it true that the street rat Mari came in the house?" Audrey asked.
Ruby nodded. "She was here for a moment but-"
"If I see her I'll kick her out." Audrey threatened.
"Don't worry Mari won't come back." Ruby replied.
Audrey stood up. "She better not dare to come back!" With that she walks away.
Ruby sat next to Maya who was sad. "Don't worry princess don't listen to your grandmother. You know how she is now I'm going to ask you a favor let's have a secret between you and I. We won't tell your dad that Mari came to the house."
"Why not Ruby?" Maya asked confused.
"Because Mari left far away again." Ruby replied.
"But she needs to come back Mari is going to bring me a little sibling." Maya stated.
"I'm not sure Maya but I think that-" At that moment Adrien's voice was heard talking to Max as they were walking to the living room.
Seeing them he smiled and picked up Maya in his arms. "Here are the two princesses of the house."
Maya smiled. "Daddy Ruby told me to not tell you something."
"Maya!" Ruby covers her mouth taking her out from Adrien's arms putting her down. Maya giggled and ran away as Ruby chased her.
"Maya." Adrien went after them and Max followed them. He found them in the back porch. "What is it that Ruby doesn't want you to tell me hm?"
Ruby covered her mouth again. "Don't listen to her Adri its only girl stuff."
Maya removed Ruby's hand. "That's not true Ruby."
"Maya don't expose me." Ruby covers Maya's mouth again. "They're my stuff normal."
"Why don't we go out today it's a nice day I invite both of you." Max stated.
"Where are we going?" Maya asked.
"How about the park and we can get ice cream." Max stated.
Maya nodded and they walked away leaving Adrien confused about the whole situation.
"I don't think we should worry anymore. It seems like Mari realized the mistake that she did to come back and went back to the ranch." Lila told Isabella when she went to her house.
"I hope that you're right." Isabella stated.
"I'm only saying it because she realized that Adrien didn't care about her at all or doesn't want to know anything about her." Lila replied.
"Plus his attention is on the tutor based on what the press says." Isabella stated.
"See he forgot about the street rat completely." Lila replied.
"That's one thing but there's a different thing for you to say for sure that she went back to the ranch." Isabella stated.
"Sabine went to the neighborhood she lived in to look for her but she couldn't find her and a neighbor said that she nor Fu came back. All she wanted was to come be with Adrien when she failed she went back to where she came from." Lila replied.
"I'm glad maybe now Sabine will accept you as her daughter." Isabella stated. "And forget about the street rat."
"Well now it's not just Sabine to accept me but Adrien too." Lila replied. "But I won't be calm until I'm sure that the street rat will forget about Adrien."
"How do you feel today?" Tom asked Sabine who was still in bed.
"Not in the mood Tom I won't be in peace until Mari is with us." Sabine replied.
"I wish to see you happy again." Tom stated.
"If she wasn't in the neighborhood that means that she didn't come back to Paris and Is somewhere far away." Sabine replied.
"She could've gone back to the ranch but don't tell mom she might want to go back there to look for her."
'Am I doing right to not tell her that Lila suggested that Mari went back to the ranch?...not only that but that she'll marry the owner and make her life there...she might calm down if she knew.'
"Everyone sit down." The judge said as everyone in the trail room sat down. "Let the first witness come in."
The secretary nodded. "The witness Audrey Bourgeois is called." An officer opened the door and Audrey walked in and stood in front of the chair of witnesses. "Do you swear to say the truth and only the truth?"
Audrey raised her right hand. "I swear." She sat down.
"The accusation part can start the interrogation." The judge stated.
Audrey's lawyer stood up. "Mrs. Bourgeois first parden us for involuntarily hurting your feelings what relationship did you have with the victim?"
"She was my daughter...my only daughter." Audrey replied.
"Mrs. Chloe Agreste died in tragic circumstances do you accuse Miss. Kagami Tsurugi as the author of the crime?" The lawyer asked.
"She is the author for doing the crime but there's another responsible for the crime of my daughter's death I also accuse him." Audrey replied. "I accuse Adrien Agreste for planning and directing the murder of his own wife. Dr. Agreste is responsible for that crime as much as the murderer. They both killed Chloe."
"The accusation that are made for Dr. Agreste are strong is there any evidence to prove it?" The judge asked.
"There will be in due time." The lawyer stated before looking at Audrey. "Would your daughter and Dr. Agreste argue frequently?" Audrey nodded. "For what reasons?"
"He always wanted to put her down as a woman wife and even as a mother." Audrey replied. "He wouldn't let her get near her daughter."
"Did Miss. Tsurugi have any part in that?" The lawyer asked.
"Yes she would stand in between her and her daughter." Audrey replied.
"That means that Miss. Tsurugi was willing to do anything that he asked her." The lawyer concluded.
"Yes she would do any order Adrien would make." Audrey added. "She was his mistress." She declared.
After getting ice cream Maya went to the secret garden. "Grandma Emilie things are weird at the house. I talked with grandma Audrey and she said that mommy isn't coming back."
Emilie looked at her sadly. "Maybe she told you the truth. You should get used to the idea that she won't come back...so what else happened?"
"I accidentally told her that Mari came to visit and then Ruby asked me to not tell daddy." Maya replied.
"I honestly don't know what to advice you but maybe it's best that you don't say anything." Emilie stated. "Your daddy has a lot of problems these days. Though always remember that he loves you."
"The fact that the victim was pregnant is a big factor against her especially since the public have shown hated to her because of it." Tom told Adrien as they waited in the waiting room.
"You don't think that it affects me? That being was my baby And even though it might be the downfall for Kagami I'll keep trying to defend her." Adrien replied. "She's innocent because I know her case."
"You'll just drown with her." Tom stated.
Sabine went to visit Father Carlos and they started talking. "Father I went to the hidden ranch to look for Mari." Father Carlos looked at her surprised.
