"I don't need anything from you or your wife to live on." Mari added.

"Are you coming with me or not?" Tom asked sternly.

"No." Mari replied. "Did you hear me n-o no."

"Think about it Mari because me coming here to ask you to live with us won't happen again." Tom stated.

"That's what I want for you to not come back again." Mari replied.

Tom sighs. "I thought that-"

"That it was enough for you to come and ask me to follow you like a lost puppy? Well you were wrong. For me to go with you would be only simple if you accept that you were too harsh on me and you regret it. You would ask me with sweetness and love to forgive you and to go with you. Though you won't apologize right?" Mari asked crossing her arms.


"We have pure feelings for each other and you know that Alya." Nino continued. "I love you Alya and I can't live without you. The distance between us will never separate us."

"Nino please just go back to Paris. As much as we try distance will separate us. I do love you but it's better this way I'm sorry." Alya runs off Nino tried to stop her but he lost her in the crowd.


"Never. I will never do that." Tom replied. "How do you expect me to ask for forgiveness to a woman like you. Sabine says that you changed you say that you did but changed how? You changed for the worst you are now more insolent more disrespectful. You keep talking vague and you have no education."

"Keep your pride since that's more important for you than a daughter." Mari stated. "You're worst than me."

"I have nothing else to do here." Tom said before walking away.

Mari starts to tear up and Ana walked over to her. "What's wrong Mari? Did you have a problem with the man that just left? Who is he anyway?"

"That man is my dad. He harmed me in the past and he came to harm me again." Mari replied.


Luka laid on his bed thinking outloud. "It's night time now...she always appears during the night...well she come today? Ryuuko or maybe-"

There was a knock on the door so Luka stood up and walked to the door to open it. To his surprise it wasn't Ryuuko...it was Kagami.


"I told her that I would go with her but she didn't want me to go with her." Ruby was telling Adrien why Kagami wasn't in the house. "She said that she was going to buy books."

"Than she should be back by now." Adrien stated.

"Adrien you need to keep a better eye on Kagami before something terrible happens." Audrey told Adrien sternly.


Luka let Kagami in before going to the side table and grabed the dagger before handing it to her. "I believe that this belongs to you."

Kagami slowly took it before going though her purse and took out his wristband before handing it to him. "This belongs to you."

"Yes it was taken off my wrist during a fight. You took it off from my wrist! You are Ryuuko!" Luka said harshly taking the wristband.


"I hate being harsh to people but he treated me badly when I was in his house. Since he met me he wanted to put me in prison. I did want to gain his admiration but it didn't work. He even accused me for stealing." Mari replied.

"Give me this. Why do you have it?"

"I found her when she was trying to return it after she stole it."

"That's not true!"

"How can you deny it if I caught you. You probably heard dad when he said he would call the police and got scared."

"I swear that's not true, please believe me. I didn't steal the necklace."

"His wife my mom was not like him she treated me with kindness even before she knew she was my mom but in the end she let her husband kick me out from the house. I can't forgive them especially now that I know they are my parents who abandoned me as a baby."


"What game is this? Why this act? Why did you come with this disguise?" Luka asked

"This isn't the disguise the disguise is the other one." Kagami replied.

"I don't understand are you trying to lie to Adrien? Faking that you are a sweet and shy person?" Luka asked. "When you really are the opposite. Don't say that you are in a disguise because you are with that hair and clothes. I know you in a different way."

"What happened between you and me?" Kagami asked.

"You know that you were my girlfriend. You know that we loved each other like crazy. You know that you damaged my life. You destroyed me. Soon my love for you became into hatred! You're a monster! When I was finally rid from your memory you come back to torment me! Wasn't it enough what you did to me in Japan!? Why did you follow me here? Mari saved me from your torment Ryuuko! I love her did you listen to me? I love Mari!"


"If you guys were so distant than why did he look for you now?" Ana asked Mari.

"He came so I would go with him. He said that my mom needs me and she suffers because I'm not by her side." Mari replied.


"By day you're that woman unknown woman Kagami Tsurugi but by night you're the same as always evil seductive without morals and values. They say that you're sick but the only sickness that you have is to be evil. You have also done terrible things in that house how many victims do you have? You're going to destroy Adrien just like how you destroyed me!" Luka added harshly.

"BE QUIET! STOP PLEASE STOP!" Kagami said in tears about to have a panic attack and she ran off.


"How was the profermance tonight dear?" Fu asked Mari.

"Good but you won't believe who visit me during rehearsal." Mari stated. "Judge Dupain he went to ask me to go with him to live at his house." Fu was happy for her but he saw her sad look.


"Do you know where I went?" Tom asked Sabine and she shook her head no. "The theater to look for Mari. To ask her to live with us."

"You really did that?" Sabine asked happily.

"For her to ashamed me once again." Tom stated. "Like when she went to my study but this time I looked for it. She only insulted me."


Ruby quickly went in Adrien's study. "Adrien Kagami is back and she doesn't have any shopping bags."

Adrien quickly left the room and found Kagami about to walk up the stairs. "Good evening Kagami we were waiting for you. Where are the books you were going to buy?" Kagami quickly ran up the stairs.

"See what I told you Adrien? Look how she came back. She went to see someone that's why she wanted to go alone." Ruby stated.


"I know that you don't like the negatively of our daughter and how hard it was for you to see her and it was for nothing but-" Sabine started.

"I did it for you because I don't like to see you suffering. I wanted to bring her to make you feel happy." Tom stated.

"Mari probably knew that you didn't go with love of a father." Sabine replied.

"Well I don't want to hear the name of Mari ever again in this house." Tom said sternly. "I went to see her leaving back my pride yet she only took out her hatred for me. I will never forgive her for that. I don't have a daughter anymore."


"I feel sorry for Mrs. Sabine she's a good woman and she really cares about you." Fu stated.

"No she only wants to clear her guilt." Mari replied. "They don't want me because of love they want me because of necessity."


Kagami tried to go to sleep that night but she couldn't since Ryuuko kept telling her in her head to get up so she could kill Mari. That Mari had to vanish like everyone else that got in her way.


Alya calls her mother the next morning. "Hay mom."

"Hay dear how are you doing?" Marlena asked.

"I'm doing good...actually I just made a big desicion in my life bigger than the one I made before." Alya replied.


"What's the miracle that you're calling me Ru?" Mari asked Ruby over the phone.

"I want to invite you to Mathew's gallery. Mathew wants to see if he can sell some of his paintings and the money would go to the wedding and honeymoon." Ruby replied. "And yes Adrien is going but I promise if he starts bothering you I'll drag him away by the ear."

"Can I bring someone with me?" Mari asked.

"Yes bring whoever you want." Ruby replied. "You have to go the main panting is one of yours when you used to model for Mathew."

"Alright Ruby I'll go." Mari stated.


Later that day was the gallery and Adrien was looking at some paintings when Ruby noticed him. "Adrien you came!" She hugs him.

Adrien smiled. "I couldn't miss such an important event. Congratulations Mathew."

"Thank you." Mathew replied. "Did you already see the painting of Mari? It's one of the paintings of Mari I did when she was my model to earn money and now she's an amazing actress. Her panting is very important for me in this gallery."

"Where's the painting?" Adrien asked.

"In the center of the main room." Mathew replied.

"I'll see it later." Adrien stated.

"Well keep looking around and pick the painting that you like the most because Mathew will give it to you." Ruby replied before she and Mathew went to greet the other guests.

Adrien walked around and he was soon in the main room. In the center was the painting of Mari. Mathew painted her hugging herself locking to the side with a half frown and she had angel wings with a white dress and knee high white boots. It reminded Adrien of when he first met Mari a sad looking young woman that was looking for people to care about her. When he looked to the side he saw Mari walking in with Luka. They were looking at the paintings until Mari turns and faced him. They stared at each other for a while.

Mari looked at the painting of herself. "Hay look Luka there's the painting of myself. I used to model for Mathew to earn a bit of money."

"Wow it looks amazing." Luka replied. They kept walking around and Adrien walked the opposite way.


"Where are you going in such a hurry?" Tom asked Sabine who was putting her things in her purse quickly.

"To Mari's house. Maybe they haven't left yet and I can see her and Adrienne for one last time." Sabine replied.

"You're going to go see her after what I told you yesterday?" Tom asked. "After knowing how she treated me?"

"Don't take it as if she's against you. Take it as a rebellious act for everything we made her go through." Sabine replied. "Try to understand her."

"You're asking me for the impossible Sabine." Tom stated. "But go if you want hopefully you feel better afterwards."


Mari went back to take a closer look at her painting. After a while she saw someone's hand touch it and when she looked up she saw that Adrien was standing next to her.


"So they're not leaving?" Sabine asked Fu happily as she was holding Adrienne.

"That trip has been postponed." Fu replied.

"And I didn't dare come because I thought that you guys already left. I thought Adrienne was far away by now." Sabine stated. "I'm so glad that I will be able to keep seeing her."

"You see Adrienne as the baby girl that you lost right?" Fu asked.

"Yes in Adrienne I see the chance of being the mother that I couldn't be." Sabine replied. "I can give Adrienne all the affection that I couldn't give to Mari."


"Hi." Adrien said with a smile.

"Hi." Mari replied with a half smile.

"I didn't think you would come." Adrien stated. "But I guess you came for Mathew since he made one of the paintings of you the main art piece. He even says that this is the most important painting in the gallery. I was here a while ago admiring it. A lot of memories came in mind about the time I met you and how you used to be. A young woman with a sad look but always trying to be happy."

"I think that I'm still like that." Mari replied.

"Thank you for staying." Adrien suddenly stated. "You didn't leave when you saw me so thank you for that."

Luka was at another room looking at a painting when Lila walked over to him. "Hello Dr. Couffaine remember me?"

"How can I forget a face like yours." Luka stated.

"I heard you're getting married to Mari and you have no idea who you need to thank for that." Lila replied.

"Who according to you?" Luka asked.

"Kagami Tsurugi." Lila replied. "It's strange but nevertheless it's the truth. You owe everything to Kagami."

"Can you explain to me why and how?" Luka asked.

"Mari has pity for Kagami and that's why she generously gave Adrien to her." Lila replied. "I know because my mom Sabine Dupain-Cheng always visits her house and Fu tells her everything."

"So Mari gave Adrien up for the favor of Kagami?" Luka asked.

"Yes Mari considers Kagami Tsurugi as a victim and since Mari has a good heart." Lila stated. "If it wasn't for that Mari wouldn't be engaged to you."

At that moment Mari walked over to them. "What's up Lila. Are you also going to flirt with Luka? Don't you have enough with Edward and Adrien? Alix even told me you tried to flirt with her boyfriend Jake a while ago."

"What can I say I like doctors." Lila stated. "But if my presence near Dr. Couffaine unsettled you than don't worry I won't go in-between the two of you. I'll actually leave you two alone." With that Lila walked away.

"She doesn't need to try long to be unpleasant. Should we leave now Mari?" Luka asked.

"Let's stay a little bit longer." Mari replied. "So what was Lila telling you?"

"Just nonsense." Luka replied. "Mari let's go I really need to talk to you."

Mari slowly nodded. "Alright let's go." Luka and Mari left the gallery.

Later the gallery closed for lunchtime and it would open again later that day. "I can't believe the success that this gallery had." Ruby told Mathew as they were eating pizza. "How many paintings do you think sold so far."

"Well didn't you track it?" Mathew asked.

Ruby nodded and looked at her list. "...15! Almost half of them I'm sure that after this gallery is over all the paintings will be sold out." Ruby calculates how much money they earned so far. "Mathew..."

"What did we earn enough for the wedding that you want?" Mathew asked.

"No we earned enough for the wedding and to go to Italy for our honeymoon!" Ruby said excitedly.


"It's odd that Adrien didn't take his fiance Kagami to the gallery right?" Luka told Mari as they were having lunch at a restaurant.

"Yea I saw that he went alone." Mari replied. "I think he didn't take her because Kagami is a shy person."

"Do you know her?" Luka asked curiously.

"She once visited me to talk to me." Mari replied. "She told me if I want to get back together with Adrien she'll leave him without resistance. Honestly though Kagami is weak and she needs Adrien. She had everything she never had ever since she started living at his house."

"That's why you were so generous right?" Luka asked.

"Whst do you mean by that?" Mari asked confused.

"Nothing forget that I said anything." Luka replied.

"Anyway you wanted to tell me something important what was it?" Mari asked.

'No I can't tell Mari that Ryuuko the woman who harmed me so much is the same Kagami. It's not the right moment her pity for Kagami will fade and Adrien and her could get back together.'

"Well...what I wanted to tell you is if you desire it we won't go to the ranch. Now or never." Luka replied. "We can get married and live here in Paris."

"But I thought you loved your life in the ranch." Mari stated.

"It doesn't matter sacrificing one small thing for you Mari. I'm willing to do anything to make you happy so what do you decide." Luka replied.


"Adrien you're not in love with Kagami so why the determination to make her your wife?" Edward asked the next day as he and Adrien were at the college they taught sometimes.

"Because I promise her and I did try to break up with her but I couldn't." Adrien replied.


"I love Adrien but what else can I do if I want Adrienne to have a father." Mari was telling Fu. "I can't drag him away from Kagami who's sick and needs him. She came here to tell me that she was willing to sacrifice her having him so he and I could be happy."

"You have such a good heart Mari." Fu replied. "But what assures you that they will have a happy marriage?"

Mari sighs. "I don't know what to do anymore."


"Ruby I have to tell you something." Kagami told Ruby. "Ryuuko hated Chloe and now she hates Mari."


"I confess that I'm not as noble as you because as much pity that I have for your cousin Elsa I'm not willing to get back together with her." Edward stated.

"Yes but you know that Roxie loves you and there's no man between the two of you." Adrien replied.


"Everything is ready to publish Michael's book." Elsa told her dad and Roxie. "I'll fulfill his last wish. Than I'll leave the past behind and start over."

"Not everything in the past can be forgotten Elsa." Her dad replied.

"I'll do it dad and Edward will help me." Elsa replied.

"Don't count so much on Edward he has his own things to deal with." Her dad stated. "Like his wedding have you guys picked a date yet Roxie?"

"Your wedding with Edward?" Elsa asked Roxie confused.


Maya ran in Adrien's study happily. "Daddy can Teddy have puppies?"

Adrien chuckles. "No because he's a male dog."

"Than let's marry him so he can have puppies I really want to play with a baby even if it's a puppy. After all I never got my little sibling mommy lied and so did Mari she promised to bring me one and she never did." Maya said frowning.

"Well dear I believe that you'll get a little sibling sooner than you think." Adrien replied.


There was a knock on the door of Mari's house and Fu opened it. Seeing who it was he let them in. "Come in feel yourself at home."

Adrien walked in with Maya holding her hand. At that moment Mari walked out from her room with Adrienne slowly walking by her side. "Look there's Mari! And with a little girl!" Maya quickly went to Adrienne bending down to her level before looking at Adrien. "Is it her daddy? Is she my little sister?"

Mari bent down to their level. "Yes Maya she's your little sister."

"Can I play with her?" Maya asked happily.

"Of course you can." Mari sits Adrienne on the ground so she wouldn't fall she was barely learning to walk and Maya played with her.

"What's her name?" Maya asked.

"Adrienne Agreste." Mari replied.

Maya looked over at Adrien. "Just like you!" Adrien chuckles softly.


"Roxie you should just tell me the truth now I'm going to find out by Edward anyway." Elsa told Roxie.

"There's only one truth Elsa. You are like my sister. This house has been my place for a while and you parents are the parents I never met." Roxie replied.

"You plan to pay me back by giving Edward to me?" Elsa asked.

"Edward is yours and only has been yours." Roxie replied. "Let me feel useful once in my life. Let me give something to you."


"Why didn't you take her to the house like you promised?" Maya asked Mari.

"Because she's still to young." Mari replied.

"It's Adrienne's nap time I should take her to bed." Fu stated. "You can go with me Maya." Maya happily went with Fu to put Adrienne to bed.


"By what you're telling me Edward loves you." Elsa stated.

"He thinks that because we found compassion in each other after hard times but you're his only love." Roxie replied. "It's your happiness and you deserve it."


"Why did you do it?" Mari asked Adrien.

"You were the one that told Maya that you would give her a little sister." Adrien replied.

"Yes when I thought everything between us could be fixed but why let Maya know now?" Mari asked. "She might not see Adrienne again when-"

"She will see Adrienne again Mari like how I'll see her again." Adrien replied. "Adrienne is my daughter and you can't take her away from me. I can't give up on everything Mari. It's enough that I'm losing you. I understand you reasons Mari I even agree with some of them but it's not all my fault. Why should I be the only one to pay for it? Plus it hurts me that a child that is mine might belong to someone else."

Maya was watching Adrienne sleep with happiness. Adrien and Mari walked in the room. "Daddy can Adrienne live in the house?"

"I'm sorry dear that can't happen. Adrienne has to stay at the house since Mari is her mother." Adrien replied.

"That's not a problem Mari can come live at the house with us." Maya stated.

"Maya that can't happen." Adrien replied.


Kagami was coming out from taking a shower and she went to her drawer to take out some clothes when she saw...Ryuuko's dagger.


"So are they leaving?" Sabine asked Fu when she visited Mari's house.

"No Mrs. Sabine they're staying in Paris." Fu replied. "They are still getting married most likely after the new play airs."

"That's the best news that I ever heard." Sabine said happily. "Now I'll have more time to achieve for Mari to accept me as her mother." Sabine picked up Adrienne and played with her. "I wish I could have seen Mari grow up and give her a better life. I missed the most special moments of Mari as her mother. Let's not even talk about the teenage years teens need their parents the most. With Adrienne it's like I have the chance to live those moments."

"You're so right Mrs. Sabine." Fu replied.


"I'm going to look for Mari right now. The theater? No she wasn't there last time. This time I'll go to her house." Ryuuko said with a smirk.


Fu had to go to the store so Sabine stayed with Adrienne and she was telling her a story. What she didn't know was that Mari walked in at that moment and was watching her. Sabine stopped talking when she noticed Mari. "I didn't notice you coming in." Sabine looked at the time. "I didn't think it was this late. I sang to her and I was telling her a story to put her to sleep."

"I was never sang to or was told a story to put to sleep." Mari replied softly taking Adrienne from Sabine.

"I learned many stories and songs but I never got the chance to tell them or sing them to someone." Sabine stated. "Sometimes I would sing the songs and tell the stories to a little girl that I knew was somewhere but I couldn't find."

"How does the story end I might tell her the story someday." Mari replied.

"It ends with how most fairytales end. The bad guy is defeated and love conquers everything." Sabine stated.

"Sadly real life can't be like fairytales right." Mari replied.

"Well sometimes love does conquer everything." Sabine stated. There was a knock on the door and Sabine opened the door.

Ryuuko walked in. "You I saw you with him! Now you'll pay!"

"What are you doing here? Get out from my house." Mari exclaimed.

"Put the baby down." Ryuuko said sternly.

"I told you to get out from my house." Mari repeated.

"And I said to put the baby down!" Ryuuko stated taking her dagger out.

"What's wrong with you!" Mari exclaimed covering Adrienne for protection.

"No!" Sabine exclaimed standing in front of Mari and Ryuuko stabed her on the shoulder instead of stabbing Mari. Sabine yells in pain and falls in the ground unconsciously.

Ryuuko grabbed Mari and Mari struggled trying to protect Adrienne. During the struggle the dagger fell to the ground and Mari hit her head on the wall and fell to the ground unconsciously.

Ryuuko blinks a few times before picking up Adrienne and walked out from the house leaving the two women unconscious.
