Than be careful because you have a daughter which the dad doesn't even know exist. Adrien can find out easily." Roland replied.

"I don't care if he finds out anymore." Mari stated.

"Oh really because with all his money he can take her away from you." Roland replied.


"Yesterday a terrible car crash accident happened where a woman got very ill." Father Carlos who came back from the party was reading in the newspaper and Fu who was visiting him was paying close attention. "She was driving very fast and she lost control making her crash with a pole close to the grand theater. This woman is Mrs. Sabine Dupain-Cheng she was quickly taken to the Red Cross and right now she's very dedicated. The air pack didn't open leaving no protection for her whatsoever. Right now multiple tests are being made since the doctors fear that she has damaged organs."

"No wonder Mari is worried about her." Fu mumbled.

"The woman is the wife of Judge Tom Dupain." Father Carlos finished.

'No wonder Mari is worried about how she treated her when Mrs. Sabine went to see her'

"Did you say something Fu?" Father Carlos asked.

"No though that's a terrible news...well I have to go." Fu said before leaving the church. On the way back home Fu brought a newspaper to show Mari the article of Sabine.


Alix was the first one to see Mathew and she helped him to a table that was right behind Ruby. Ruby hasn't noticed him since she was talking to Max about how much she missed Mathew.


"Do you really think that Adrien would be able to take Adrienne away from me?" Mari asked sternly to Roland as she was holding Adrienne they were back at the apartment. "Keep dreaming."

"She's also his daughter Mari." Roland replied.

"She's only my daughter. She only needs her mother and that's me." Mari stated.

"You sound like Roxie now." Roland replied. "Adrienne belongs to Adrien as much as she is yours. Just because he doesn't know about her it doesn't change the truth."

"Even if Adrien wanted to he would never be able to take Adrienne away from me." Mari said harshly.

"Well I plan to take my son away from Roxie." Roland stated.

"You're such a jerk! I don't think you're capable of that you're just talk and even if you're being serious Roxie won't make it easy for you." Mari replied. "If I was her I would beat you up." Roland starts to laugh.


Adrien walked to one of the waiting rooms and saw Tom sitting on one of the chairs exhausted. "Judge Dupain how is Mrs. Sabine?" Tom looks at him but doesn't reply. "Did she?..."


"Don't laugh at me Roland I'm being serious. I would have to be killed first before someone could take Adrienne away from me and that's if they are able to become no one knows what I'm capable of to defend her" Mari said sternly.

"Mari if we are talking about Adrien than he's a man who biologically is stronger than you it won't be easy to stop him plus he has something you didn't have money and a lot of it." Roland stated.

"Well he doesn't even know that Adrienne is his daughter unless you tell him." Mari stated.

"Of course not but he can find out by someone else and you know who I'm talking about." Roland replied.

Mari sighs. "Yes Lila but I'll deny it if he finds out I'll just tell him the father is someone else and he won't be able to prove me wrong."

"Yes he can with a DNA test." Roland stated.

"...I don't know what that is but either way I won't let him or someone else take Adrienne." Mari replied.


"Sabine is very delicated Adrien." Tom replied at last. "There's almost no hope."

"I'm so sorry." Adrien sat on the chair next to him. "Can I help you with something?"

"Thanks but there's nothing to do the doctors are doing everything they can to save her." Tom replied.

"How did the accident happen?" Adrien asked.

"She was driving alone very nervous and she lost control crashing into a pole." Tom replied.

"Where did the accident happen?" Adrien asked.

"Sabine was going to the grand theater to see...her." Tom replied not being able to say Mari's name.

"Her? Who are you talking about?" Adrien asked confused.


"I swear Roland frustrates me sometimes how could he say that Adrien with his money could take you away from me." Mari said looking at Adrienne. "...Maybe that's why he keeps looking for me...if that's true than he'll find out what I'm really capable of."


"I still love Mathew." Ruby was telling Max. "I don't care that he's disabled. I'm going to ask him to forgive me and try to get back together with him."

Suddenly a slow song started. "May I have this dance?" A voice asked Ruby from behind her. Ruby quickly turned around knowing that voice and she was surprised to see Mathew standing with his hand extended to her.


"Look what Alya sent me Mari." Marlena said walking in the apartment showing Mari a brand new purse.

"Its so pretty." Mari replied. "And how is Alya?"

"Good she asked me about everyone in the neighborhood...well except for Nino she didn't want me to talk about him." Marlena stated.

"Do you think that she still loves him?" Mari asked.

"Of course I do." Marlena replied. "Like how he loves her."

Fu walked in at that moment. "Mari you won't believe what I found out...Marlena you're here too well you won't believe it either."

"Is it about the woman that killed Adrien's wife?" Mari asked.

"No it's not about her it's about Sabine Dupain-Cheng the wife of Judge Tom Dupain." Fu replied.

"Why would I care about her?" Mari asked.

"She's dying." Fu replied and Mari's heart stopped. "She was in an accident and she is very ill."


"It's her fault that Sabine had the accident." Tom simply said.

"But who is she?" Adrien asked again.

"Mari." Tom finally said and Adrien looks at him even more surprised.


"How did it happen?" Mari quickly asked and Fu showed her the newspaper and Mari read it. "It says here that the doctors aren't giving a lot of hope for her to survive...was it my fault?"


"Mari?" Adrien asked confused. "I don't understand."

"Sabine was going to the grand theater to see Mari. She's there rehearsaling for a play premiering next Saturday." Tom replied. "She went to tell her the truth but Mari wouldn't listen to her. Depressed Sabine tried to talk to her again today but we'll this happened."

"Judge are you accusing Mari for this accident?" Adrien asked in disbelief.

"Yes she's to blame for this and if her mother dies Mari will have this weight over her concious for the rest of her life." Tom replied.


"Am I dreaming?" Ruby asked Mathew standing up and Mathew chuckles shaking his head no. "Are you sure? I feel like I might wake up."

"This is reality Ruby." Mathew replied and Ruby smiled hugging him. "I won't win a medal for daning yet but I hope to do it soon."

They started to dance and everyone of their friends Alix Elsa Edward Michael Max Roxie and even Elsa's parents watched them with smiles.


"Father Carlos read it to me and I quickly grabed a copy to show it to you." Fu stated.

Mari suddenly felt a pain in her chest and she started to breath heavily. Marlena and Fu quickly went to her worriedly. "I-I'm fine guys." Mari simply said calming down though that pain was like she was about to lose a loved one.


"Let's sit down Mathew." Ruby said after a while. "You can't abuse your limit and I can tell that you are tired."

"A little but after standing up since the accident it's not to bad." Mathew replied.

Ruby nodded. "You have to explain everything to me. How did this happen?"

"This happened because of you Ruby. For you I tried my hardest to get better." Mathew replied.

They sat at the table with Max. "I'm glad to see that you're doing better Mathew." Max stated.

Mathew smiled. "Thank you."

Elsa walked over to Michael. "It's great seeing Ruby and Mathew back together and Mathew being almost cued"

"Mathew had will power. If only I had it too but Mathew and Ruby have a whole life together to love each other while I'll leave you soon." Michael replied.

"Don't say that Michael you'll get cued." Elsa stated.

"Don't make me feel better Elsa." Michael replied. "I know the truth."


"How's the woman you went to see?" Luka asked Adrien when Adrien walked in the living room.

"She's delicated and it's unsure if she'll live." Adrien replied. "Did you already eat dinner?"

"Somewhat I ate at a restaurant after roaming Paris again." Luka stated. "I know it's absurd roaming around hoping to bump into Iris but I don't know what else to do."

Adrien chuckles. "You are looking for a woman hoping to get her back while I don't have a chance even though I know where to find Mari. I know where she is I could even go tomorrow to see her if I wanted to "

"You are so lucky I envy you in the good way." Luka replied

"Don't envy me what you call luck is a torment for me." Adrien stated.


"Thank you for defending me from Roland." Roxie told Edward. "Like Elsa said it was a good lir in terms him that you would marry me and recognize Eddie as your son."

"It wasn't a lie I do plan to do that." Edward replied.

Roxie sighs. "Edward that can't be."

"Why not?" Edward asked.

Roxie looks at Elsa than back at Edward. "You know why."


"Our cases are different Adrien if someone told me where I could find Iris I wouldn't waste a second to look for her." Luka stated. "So why did the accident that woman had affected you so much?"

"The woman that had the accident is Mari's mom. She was going to visit Mari at the threater...Mari is now an actress since we got separated." Adrien replied.

"Natalie also told me about a woman named Lila and the woman of the accident that I really didn't understand." Luka stated.

"Lila appears as the Dupain biological daughter but in reality Mari is the biological daughter so you could say Lila got adopted by the Dupain family." Adrien replied. "However Mari doesn't know that the Dupain are her parents and when she lived with them for a time a misunderstanding happened and now she doesn't want anything to do with them."

"Couldn't it be that she and the other woman were fighting for your attention?" Luka asked. "From what Natalie told me you were involved with the so called Lila too. Who knew you were a womanizer."

"Not even close I only dated Lila to get Mari out from my head. Her love was so pure that I didn't feel like I deserved it but you're right it was probably that." Adrien replied. "As you know at the time I stopped myself from being happy."


Tom stood by the door of Sabine's room waiting for the doctor to finish checking on her. Once he was done Tom walked over to him. "How is she?" The doctor stays quiet for a moment.


Mari tried to put Adrienne to sleep but she wouldn't go to sleep. "I think I gave you my nerves...I treated Mrs. Sabine so badly..."

"I have to tell you so many things Mari." Sabine stated.

"They must be things that I don't care about now leave so I can continue the rehearsal."

Mari sighs. "I was so hard on her now I regret it...what if she dies I won't be able to forgive myself...God please save her. I would like to see her to ask her to forgive me."


"I can't assure you anything her organs are very damaged we have to wait." The doctor told Tom before leaving the room.

Soon Father Carlos walked in the room. "I found out by the news and I came to see her. How is she doing?"

"Bad Father Carlos." Tom replied sadly.

At that moment Sabine opened her eyes slowly. "Father Carlos."


"How is she doing?" Isabella asked Lila about Sabine.

"She gets worse by every moment that passes and she could die at any moment." Lila replied.

"What a shame but we need to celebrate this." Isabella said happily. "If Sabine dies Tom will be alone and in our hands and we'll have the luxury life again."


Maya walked over to Adrien as he was talking to Luka and layer on his lap tired from the party. "Hi dear are you tired?" Maya simply nodded. "How was the party?" Adrien asked Ruby.

"Everything was great." Ruby replied happily.

"Did you have fun sweetheart?" Adrien asked Maya.

"Yes Roxie's baby is just like the little sibling I want." Maya replied sleepily.

"Adrien I have a lot of things to tell you. You won't believe them." Ruby stated sitting next to Adrien.

"Well first I think that we should take the little princess to bed since she's falling asleep." Adrien replied. "I'll take her."

"No I'll take her you two keep on talking I have to make a phone call anyway." Ruby replied picking up Maya in her arms and walked away.

"I'm amazed by your sister first she's upset now she's glowing in happiness." Luka stated.

"Ruby is going through her last phaces as a teenager but you're right I have a feeling something happened at the party." Adrien replied.


Mathew gave his dad the surprise and both his parents were happy for him. At that moment his phone rang and it was Ruby he started talking to her and his parents knew that Mathew wouldn't spend as much time with them as before but they were okay with that because they knew that they weren't losing a son but gaining a daughter.


"I wanted to talk to Mari. I wanted to tell her the truth that I'm her mom but I couldn't Father Carlos." Sabine told Father Carlos. "Mari didn't want to listen to me. She pushed me aside and I couldn't tell her the truth."

"Do you want me to bring Marinette here Mrs. Sabine?" Father Carlos asked.


Mari went to the living room all gloomy and Fu looked at her. "You took a while I thought you fell asleep too."

"Adrienne wouldn't fall asleep I think I gave my nerves to her." Mari replied.

"You are like this since you found out that Mrs. Sabine had that accident." Fu stated.

"I feel bad about how I treated her she wanted to tell me something and I wouldn't let her speak." Mari replied starting to tear up. "I don't know why but it really hurts me of what happened to Mrs. Sabine. I can't stop thinking that it's my fault that it happened."

"Dear of course that it isn't your fault." Fu stated.

"It's just she seemed sad and I harshly told her to leave." Mari replied in tears now. "But I was hurt by how I was treated in her house and I was kicked out harshly. Though she was the only one that treated me well...besides Plagg and Tikki."

"Calm down...yes that was wrong of you but it's not your fault." Fu stated.

"I feel a weight in my conciousness and I would never forgive myself if I found out that she died because of me." Mari replied.


"No Father Carlos it would be forcing her to forgive me now that I'm dying and I don't want it that way." Sabine stated. "It would have no value for me and I wouldn't be able to leave in peace. If I die tell Mari about me tell her how much I cared about her even though I had to abandon her at birth. Tell her that I'm her mother and that I tried to look for her to ask her for forgiveness ever since I found out that she was my daughter." At that moment Sabine closed her eyes and her heart rate was slowing down.

"Sabine...Sabine...Sabine." Tom called out in desperation starting to cry.


Lila suddenly felt shivers all around her body. "What's wrong with you?" Isabella asked.

"I don't know it felt like I was feeling that something bad happened or was going to happen." Lila replied.

"Could it be that you're feeling that Sabine died?" Isabella asked.


A week passed and Sabine didn't die was she got worse and hope was fading for everyone.

It was Saturday morning and Edward was visiting Adrien showing that he was called to declare at the trail. "You were called too?" Adrien asked.

"I'll go prepared with the result of the test names and dates." Edward replied. "Let's see if they finally get convinced of what kind of woman Chloe was."

Luka walked up to them. "Good morning."

"Good morning Luka. Edward this is Luka Couffaine an old friend Luka this is Edward Fuller I told you about him from college." Adrien stated and they greeted each other.

"Well I'm going to go have breakfast." Luka walked away.

"I don't remember him from college." Edward stated.

"When we started college he was finishing his doctorates and he went to the United States straight after." Adrien replied.

Edward nodded. "By the way last week during Eddie's party something about Mari was mentioned."


"How do I look?" Mari asked Fu and Marlena after putting on the wig she was supposed to wear that night.

"Way better than I thought." Fu replied.

"You look like a different person." Marlena replied.

"Well I feel like a different person plus I'm feeling so nervous for tonight." Mari stated.

"But you acted before." Marlena replied.

"It's different on T.V when no one is watching you than on stage when you know they are watching you." Mari replied.

"You'll be great don't worry." Fu replied.
