Two days passed and Kagami was doing better. "How long have I been like this?"
"About two days." Adrien replied. "You been bad but the worst has passed. You're going to live."
"Who else came?" Kagami asked.
"Only Ruby and I who else did you want to see?" Adrien asked.
"No one...how's Adrienne." Kagami asked.
"Good fortunately nothing happened to her." Adrien replied. Suddenly there was a knock on the door and when Adrien opened it he found Mari standing there. "Mari? I didn't think you would come."
"How is she?" Mari asked.
"Good she's getting better." Adrien replied.
"Can I come in?" Adrien nodded and Mari walks in.
"We need to prohibit Mari from going to the Dupain mansion no mater the cost." Lila said sternly to Isabella. "I need to hold on tight to the Dupain or we'll lose everything."
"You're right we need to analyze the situation." Isabella stated. "Don't let go of what you have or we'll be ruined."
Mari looked at Adrien. "Can I talk to her?" Adrien nodded. "Alone."
"Sure I'll be outside." Adrien leaves the room.
"Please forgive me for taking Adrienne." Kagami stated. "I was afraid something happened to her and that was the only thing I thought of at the moment. I love kids after all-"
"Tell me the truth who are you for real Kagami or Ryuuko." Mari asked crossing her arms.
Elsa was packing her suitcase when her dad walked in the room. "Elsa- you're only taking one suitcase? You're barely taking anything."
"I plan to buy things I like from the places I go. You'll see that I come back with many things and my cards will be empty." Elsa replied with a smile. There was a knock on the door. "Who is it?"
"It's me Roxie." Roxie replied before coming in the room. "Can I help you?"
"Everything is already packed." Elsa stated. "I love traveling so it was easy to do so. What do you want me to bring you?"
"Nothing don't worry about it." Roxie replied.
"I'll pick something beautiful for your wedding." Elsa stated. "I'll send it so it comes on time and I'll buy many things for Eddie. Also let me know if you get pregnant to buy the baby things too because I doubt you guys will only stay with one child with how much Edward loves children. By the way say bye to him for me I was going to call him but I didn't have time. Wish Ruby and Mathew my best wishes during their wedding. Don't think that I have forgotten about Michael's book I'll find a publisher when I come back."
"Well it's time for us to go to the airport." Christopher said grabbing Elsa's suitcase and leaving the room. Elsa and Roxie followed him out the house.
Roxie watched Elsa get in the car with her dad and it drove off. "You're strong Elsa you'll find your happiness."
Lila walked over to Sabine. "Hay Sabine I'm not so fond of Mari but if it's for your happiness I'll help you convince dad to accept her so she can live here with her daughter."
"That would be nice of you Lila if you were being honest." Sabine replied not looking up from her knitting.
"I really don't know who I am." Kagami replied. "I feel so confused that I would rather die to escape this body or be locked in prison to end this nightmare. Supposedly Ryuuko is the fake and I'm really Kagami. I'm not really the cruel murderer without morals or values that hates and destroys."
"Yes Luka's ex girlfriend that he loved with all his heart." Mari stated. "Who destroyed him. All I know is that Ryuuko lives inside of you and that body was with another man. You have to tell Adrien the truth Kagami because he needs to know the truth. If you don't tell him I will."
"You still love him don't you." Kagami replied.
The phone rang in Elsa's house and Roxie answered. "Hello?"
"How's the sweetest and most beautiful woman doing today?" Edward asked over the phone.
"Edward don't you have patients right now?" Roxie asked.
"No that's why I'm calling you." Edward replied.
"Elsa just left to the airport she wanted me to say bye for her to you." Roxie stated. "I feel like she's faking to be happy going on the trip."
"I just don't want you to hurt Adrien." Mari stated. "He deserves for you to play clean with him. As Kagami you're a good person so you should tell him the truth so there's no secrets between the two of you."
"Luka and Adrien are friends almost brothers. Adrien knows my case but his compassion has a limit." Kagami replied.
"Let me give you some advice. Always be Kagami for her I can feel respect and even pity but for Ryuuko I won't give her the chance. I will front her whenever and wherever. I'm not afraid of her. Only you can free yourself. Ryuuko better not think about hurting Adrien like she did with Luka because I won't let her." With that Mari left the room and saw Adrien. "I talked to her bye."
Mari was about to leave but Adrien grabbed her arm. "Wait how's Adrienne?"
"Good." Mari replied.
"Did you come alone?" Adrien asked and Mari nodded. "Can I accompany you? I want to have a coffee with you and talk. We have a lot to talk about dealing with you Adrienne and me. I have a lot of things to tell you starting with the fact that I love you."
"Inside that room is the woman you should love Kagami but be careful with Ryuuko." Mari frees her arm and walked away.
When she got home she saw Luka waiting for her. "I have been waiting for you for a while. You didn't tell me you were going out today."
"Oh it was a last minute thing." Mari replied. "I went to the hospital to see Kagami. I wanted to know how she's doing and it seems that she's out from danger. I saw her and talked to her. Oh Adrien was there too."
"What did you and Mari talk about?" Adrien asked Kagami.
"She asked me questions about my condition." Kagami replied.
"It seems that she's not well informed or she just doesn't understand." Adrien stated.
"She wanted to know who I really was Kagami or Ryuuko." Kagami replied. "She's defending you from me."
"Adrien is always everywhere." Luka stated irritated. "You didn't have to go there. You only went to see Adrien."
"If I really wanted to see him I wouldn't have to go anywhere since he comes here." Mari replied. "He comes to see Adrienne I can't stop him after all he's the father. He even brings Maya sometimes and I can't be cruel to children like I am with men."
"Mari has reason to do so because you told me something about my spilt personality that Ryuuko's goal is to destroy men." Kagami continued. "Mari is afraid that Ryuuko will destroy you and so am I. I wish I never went to your house I went for you to help me and I found your compassion. I don't want to hurt you Adrien."
"Ryuuko won't destroy me because we'll destroy her first. What happened with Mari's mom is her last bad doing." Adrien replied. "You're understanding the reasons why Ryuuko was created that's a step closer to you getting cued."
"That's only an excuse for him to see you and when he can't use that excuse he'll find another one." Luka stated. "He'll always be bothering us that's why I wanted to go to the ranch."
"We didn't leave because at the last minute you said we wouldn't go." Mari replied.
"Yes but now I regret that decision. We still have time to leave let's cut the ties that unite us to Adrien and Ryuuko. They won't let us live in peace. Let's go to the ranch Mari." Luka stated.
"We can't go Luka I just got in good terms with my mom and she loves to play with Adrienne. Plus there's the new play that Is about to air I can't leave just like that and there's Ruby's wedding I can't miss it she's like a sister to me." Mari replied.
"This is an incredible place." Alix told Jake looking around at the restaurant he took her. She opened the menu than she freaked out seeing the prices. "Jake did you see the prices? This place is expensive."
"Don't you have money?" Jake asked playfully. "Don't worry about the prices I'll pay for everything. I wanted to bring you here because today is a special day. I would invite you to dinner instead of lunch but I have work tonight."
"Look Mathew...it's the third centerpiece given to us." Ruby said opening a present that was given for her wedding with Mathew. "Oh well I will just pick the one I like the most and keep the rest just in case."
"Well here's my parents present. A check for the trip." Mathew stated handing Ruby a check.
"That's great soon we'll have so much money that we won't know what to do with it." Ruby replied.
"Hi guys." Lila said walking in the study with a present. "Here's the present from the Dupain household I'm sure you'll like it I picked it myself. It's a centerpiece."
Ruby smiled softly. "Thanks Lila."
"A special day? It's not your birthday or mine...is it your return to Paris?" Jake shook his head no. "Than getting your apartment?" Jake shook his head no again. "Okay I give up why is it a special day?"
"Because of this." Jake takes out the new skates that she has always wanted from a bag he had and there was a note that said 'will you marry me.' Alix smiled nodding yes before hugging him.
"How did you see mom?" Lila asked Adrien after Adrien cued Sabine's shoulder.
"Well she doesn't need to wear the sling anymore." Adrien replied.
"You know Adrien I'm kinda grateful for what happened because of it Mari got close to me." Sabine stated. "Something had to happen so Mari could see me as a mother. She needed proof of my love. She even came to see how I was doing."
"Is she going to come live with you guys?" Adrien asked.
"That's all I want Adrien to have Adrienne and Mari here by my side but Tom rejects the idea. He says that he'll leave if Mari comes to live here." Sabine replied sadly. "I love Tom but Mari is my daughter if she comes and live with me and Tom leaves...that's up to him."
"You guys have always been a united marriage though." Adrien stated.
"Audrey here's your invitation to my wedding." Ruby told Audrey handing the invitation to her. "I hope you attend I know you never approved of my relationship with Mathew."
"I know that he's son of a well developed marriage people of our status." Audrey replied. "So I'll go would you like a centerpiece for a gift."
Ruby laughed. "Please something else would you believe me that we already have 6."
"Alright." Audrey smiled.
"Don't worry Sabine I'm sure Tom won't do that." Adrien continued. "I'll talk to him and see if I can convince him that he's in the wrong by acting this way." Adrien goes to Tom's study. "Tom your wife gave me good news that she got close to her daughter Mari. Your daughter Tom."
"My daughter like you call her has offended me and been disrespectful." Tom replied.
"You need to understand her Tom you know that she suffered in this house." Adrien stated. "Not to mention everything she suffered in her whole life. When I brought her here Mari made the illusion of finally finding a family. You guys failed her. You acused her as a theft. Don't you think Mari has reason to be upset?"
"At that time I didn't know that Mari was my daughter." Tom replied.
"That doesn't matter." Adrien stated. "She's still hurt."
"I already went once and I don't embraces myself more than that." Tom replied.
"Push back your pride and go again. There's more important things like your wife." Adrien stated. "You could have your daughter by your side but you don't want her. While I would do anything to have my daughter by my side."
"You think that I don't have feelings?" Tom asked. "When I went to see her I did push my pride away knowing that she had my blood that she was the fruit of my love with Sabine. I went to see her for myself too but I won't embraces myself for her."
Soon it was the day of Ruby's wedding with Mathew. Maya ran to Ruby's room but Audrey stopped her. "Where are you going in such a hurry."
"I want to see Aunt Ruby." Maya replied.
"No your Aunt Ruby is getting ready and you shouldn't go in she's a nervous wreck." Audrey stated.
Soon Adrien picked Maya up. "You look beautiful princess."
"And you look handsome daddy." Maya replied. "Is Adrienne going to the wedding?"
"I don't think so she's still young." Adrien stated.
Soon Ruby walked out wearing her white dress. Alix and Roxie walked out with her since they were the bridesmaids. "What do you guys think?"
"I can't believe my little sister is getting married and you look beautiful." Adrien replied.
Ruby smiled. "Thank you for everything Adrien you're the best brother ever."
Kagami woke up and thought about when Luka visited her. "He was here...I heard his voice...he called me Ryuuko..."
Kagami started having a panic attack before she turned into Ryuuko. "Luka save me! You're the only one that can save me!"
The wedding was about to start and Mari with Luka were sitting on the front row of Mathew's side. "You look beautiful Mari I haven't see you in a dress before." Luka whispered to her.
"Thanks Luka." Mari whispered back.
The ceremony started and everyone stood up Mari looked back as she saw the flowers girls one of them being Maya than Alix and Roxie being the bridesmaids than Ruby walked by Adrien taking the role of his father.
As Adrien was handing Ruby over to Mathew Maya walked over to Mari and whispered. "Hay Mari where's Adrienne?"
"At home she's still too young for this kind of event now go back to your spot." Mari whispered back and Maya went back to the other flower girl.
As the ceremony went through Adrien looked over at Mari thinking and smiled.
'Remember? it was here. You were the one in the front dressed in white and me next to you all excited. You were afraid but you loved me. I promised you that I wouldn't touch you but you asked me to that night. You were mine Mari. You couldn't have forgotten it because I know that you still remember.'
"Adrien doesn't stop looking at you and I won't let him." Luka whispered to Mari sternly.
Kagami looked around nervously. "I called Luka and asked him to save me...No Ryuuko called out for Luka." Kagami grabbed the phone and dialled Adrien's house number. "Please with Dr. Agreste."
"Please Luka I want to be in Mathew and Ruby's wedding like it should be don't make me have to leave because of your jealousy." Mari whispered back.
'You're so pretty if only time hasn't passed but it did and now you're here with another man.'
"He's not home?...right today is Ruby's wedding...please tell him to call me at the hospital when he comes back." Kagami hangs up and freaks out. "Please call soon Adrien. Ryuuko can't come until Adrien knows."
"I declare you husband and wife. Mathew you may now kiss the bride." Father Carlos stated.
As they kissed everyone stood up and clapped. Soon Mathew and Ruby walked out with all the guests right behind them. Outside everyone congratulated them starting with Mathew's parents.
Audrey walked over to Ruby. "Ruby be very happy. I know that we haven't gotten along in the past not until now but I really hope the best for you."
Ruby smiled. "Thank you Audrey."
Christopher walked over to Ruby. "I wish you the best Ruby and I hope all your plans work out."
"Thank you." Ruby replied. Mari walked over to her. "Mari!" She hugs her happily. "I'm so glad that you came."
"Congratulations Ruby I'm so happy for you." Mari stated. Adrien walked over to them at that moment so Mari went to congratulate Mathew.
"Let's go to the party!" Elena called out and everyone started to walk away.
Maya walked over to Mari and grabed her hand. "Are you coming with us Mari? C'mon let's go to the party." She pulled her hand.
"Maya Mari can't go." Luka said almost sternly.
"Why can't she go?" Maya asked.
"Because she's with me and we have something to do." Luka grabbed Mari's hand and dragged her away.
Ryuuko looked around. "What am I doing here? Who brought me? Why was I brought here? What am I doing wearing this hideous robe?...this is a clinic." Ryuuko grabs the file of her and read it before laughing. "Kagami tried to get rid of herself trying to destroy me too but Ryuuko Mira can't be destroyed." Ryuuko opened the door and looked out seeing a lot of people outside she closed the door again. "There's a lot of people but soon it will be dark and somehow I'll find a way to escape from this place."
Mari and Luka were in a taxi heading to Mari's house and Mari wasn't speaking one bit to Luka. "You wanted to go to the party didn't you? Don't deny it you haven't spoken to me the whole ride."
"I just feel bad for Maya you didn't have to talk to her like that she's a kid she doesn't understand the problems of adults. She's like another daughter for me. She basically was for one day." Mari replied. "She asked me to go with such sweetness...but it was best that I didn't go."
"Adrien wanted you to go he couldn't stop looking at you throughout the ceremony. Did you guys get married in that church?" Luka asked.
Mari sighs. "Yes."
"No wonder being there caused memories to come back to him and most likely you." Luka replied.
Maya walked over to Ruby. "Aunt Ruby when will you cut the cake?"
"Right now." Mathew replied with a smile.
"Natalie." Natalie walked over to Ruby. "Tell the guests that we will cut the cake now." Natalie nodded before letting the guests know.
"This is the first wedding I have been at." Alya stated to Alix as they headed to the cake. She was invited by Nino who became friends with Adrien over the last few months Ironically. "Though I should learn for my wedding with Nino."
"This isn't my first wedding but I should also learn for my wedding with Jake." Alix replied.
"Fortunately Kagami is better." Adrien was telling Edward and Roxie. "She should be back tomorrow."
Natalie walked over to them. "Sir with this party I forgot to tell you that Miss. Kagami called and she wanted you to communicate with her. Oh and Ruby invites all of you to go have cake."
"You guys go ahead I'll be right back." Adrien said before going to his study and calling Kagami's room phone. Someone answered but there was no voice. "Hello?...hello Kagami?...Kagami?...Kagami why don't you answer?...Ryuuko?" The line was cut. "Something must be happening. I need to go there."
Adrien went to the hospital and was going to enter Kagami's room when he noticed that the door was opening. He quickly pretended to talk to a nurse and from the corner of his eye he saw that Ryuuko somehow with a wig and clothes that she wears walked out from the room and walked away. "This is my chance to follow you Ryuuko and know who you meet up with."
There was a knock on Luka's door he opened it to find Ryuuko standing there. Ryuuko smirked and walked in. "Ryuuko leave now don't you remember what happened last time? Leave!"
At that moment Adrien walked in since Luka left the door open. "Luka?"
Mari was laying on her bed thinking about Ruby's wedding than she thought about her wedding with Adrien before she starts bursting in tears.
"Do you not plan to sleep Sabine?" Tom asked Sabine who was reading.
"I'm not sleepy. I'm reading so I can stop thinking about what Adrien asked you. You denied to listen to him when he asked you to forgive Mari because she's your daughter." Sabine replied. "I know that you'll hate this but tomorrow I'll go see Mari to convince her to come live here with Adrienne."
"What's the meaning of all of this?!" Adrien exclaimed. "You are a miserable jerk! I never thought that you would be capable of something so innoble. So low! Knowing the fact that Mari loves me and not you, you took advantage of an innocent woman! Taking advantage of her sickness and unconsciousness."
"Adrien listen to me!-" Before Luka could explain Adrien punched him.
"I don't want Mari living with us." Tom stated. "I don't care if she's my daughter."
"Well I won't give her up." Sabine replied. "Not after carrying her for nine months and abandoning her. Especially not now that she's a mother too. You can't even push your pride back for your granddaughter?"
"I can't." Tom stated.
Ryuuko pushed Adrien away from Luka. "No I won't let you hurt him I'll kill you first!"
Adrien pinned Ryuuko to a wall and shook her. "Kagami! Kagami! Kagami!"
Ryuuko blinks before turning back into Kagami. Kagami looked around. "Adrien where-" She saw Luka and knew where she was.
"C'mon." Adrien grabbed her hand and basically dragged her away. Adrien took her to her room from the door that led to the garden only Natalie knew he was there with her. "Kagami can you hear me?" Kagami nodded. "You didn't know who you were seeing right? You couldn't remember Luka."
"I found out a few days ago." Kagami replied.
"Why didn't you tell me? Better yet when did this problem with Luka started?" Adrien asked.
"A few years ago in Japan." Kagami replied. "I met him there he's Ryuuko's ex boyfriend. I think that as Ryuuko I loved Luka Couffaine with all my heart. It was after my sister died. I couldn't think about a man after losing my sister because of a man."
"So since before you even met me. He was in your life first. Why did you come to Paris?" Adrien asked.
"I think Ryuuko came looking for Luka and she found him in your house." Kagami replied.
Audrey walked to Natalie. "Natalie tell Adrien that Ruby and Mathew are about to leave." Natalie nodded before walking away.
Natalie walked into Kagami's room. "Sir Ruby and her husband are about to leave you told me to let you know."
"Alright thanks. Kagami try to rest the door to the garden is locked and I'll lock your room door so please try to stay calm we'll talk later." With that Adrien walked away. Adrien said goodbye to Ruby and Mathew before they left.
"You should have seen her grandma Emilie Ruby was so pretty in her wedding dress." Maya was telling Emilie the next day.
"I'm sure she was I can't believe my baby girl got married already." Emilie said with happiness as a tear falls down her cheek.
Adrien went to the church. "I'll lose Mari forever if she marries Luka." He thinks about Mari before tearing up.
