The next day Nathaniel went to the Dupain household with a surprise for Mari. "Mari I have a surprise for you."

"Really what is it?" Mari extended her hand out and felt something fury and soft. "It's a dog. I haven't had a dog since I gave Teddy to Maya."

"It's a guide dog to help you out. He already has a name the name that he will only answer to Barx." Nathaniel replied.

Later Mari was in her room with Ana. "You know Ana a lot happened yesterday first dad was arguing with a salesman then... I felt Adrien closer to me than ever."

Ana smiled. "Well the last time we heard of him he was in the United States but it could be possible that he's back."

"Maybe that's it... Oh and this morning Nathaniel gave me a guide dog named Barx." Mari replied. "He'll help me be able to move around and prevent me from triping or falling."

"That is great Mari." Ana replied.

"Ana if my feeling is right and your suggestion is right and he is back than I'll wait for him so we can talk everything out once and for all. I might not be able to forgive him but I'll still give him a chance to explain everything to me." Mari replied.

Ana tried hard to not jump in joy. "Yes Mari that's a great idea."


"This is a surprise seeing you after a long time." Detective Kurtzberg told Adrian and Edward when they went to see him at his office.

"Yes it has been a long time and we came to tell you something important." Edward stated.

"Roland Rople is back." Adrian added. "The last time we heard of him was when he tried to kidnap Roxie's child Eddie and ended up with him taking both of them and that led him to get in a car crash and he was in a coma so he didn't go to prison."

"Now Roxie is my wife and Eddie is my son and it's my responsibility to protect them." Edward stated.

"Roland is already declaring revange and is using a woman known as Ana against her will. She agreed to 'help' him only to warn me or the Dupain of his plans." Adrien finished.

"All I can do is to keep an eye out for him and to keep you updated as well as you keeping me updated." Detective Kurtzberg stated.


Audrey went to visit Mari and she was in the second living room waiting as Mari walked over to her with help from Barx. "HI Mari."

"Hi Mrs. Audrey how are you?" Mari asked sitting next to her.

"I'm good how have you been?" Audrey asked back.

"Happy look Nathaniel got me this guide dog who's going to help me by being my eyes." Mari replied. "His name is Barx."

"He's so cute I'm happy for you Mari." Audrey stated.

"Did you came with Maya?" Mari asked.

"No I came alone to see you because I want to talk to you about Adrien." Audrey replied. "You know that love is capable of doing anything even to forgive so if you really love him why don't you forgive him Mari?"

"I can't forgive him because I won't be able to see again that's it. I forgived him for everything else. I will only forgive him if I get my sight back and we all know that is impossible." Mari stated

"Please think about it we are talking about Adrien's love the most important thing for him and for you too." Audrey replied.


Adrien was out the Dupain mansion gate wanting to go in and see Mari and Adrienne but not wanting to face Tom again. After many hours of being there Adren went to Edward's office. "Edward I know what I'm going to do for my life. I figured it out as I was hiding by Mari's house as if I was a criminal."

"What do you plan to do?" Edward asked.

"There are many people that need help and other people dont dare to help them. People who are blind have the most desire to live their lives but many hospitals don't dare to help them but I will." Adrien replied. "I'm going to make another clinic for those people and it won't cost them a single penny. Even those that are poor deserve to get all the services they need."


The next day Adrien was once again near the Dupain mansion gate wanting to go in and see Mari and Adrienne but not daring to since he didn't want to face Tom. Though that time Sabine saw him. "Adrien?"

"HI Mrs. Sabine." Adrien replied.

"What are you doing here?" Sabine asked.

"I came to see Mari day after day and night after night wanting to see her." Adrien replied. "But I have no luck."

"I'm afraid that Tom might see you." Sabine stated.

"He already did see me." Adrian replied. "I'll face him as many times as I have to. A lot of time has passed and I still love Mari with all of my heart. I also want to see Adrienne it has been months since I have been able to see them. At this point Adrienne should be able to talk and walk with no problems she's almost three for crying out loud."

Sabine sighs. "You have all your right to do see her... Let's do this I'll take her to the park so you can see her but please leave and let's try to avoid any problems from occurring."

Adrien smiled and nodded. "Thank you Sabine."

Later Sabine took Adrienne to the park and when Adrienne saw Adrien she ran to him. "Daddy!" Adrian hugged her before he started to play with her and Sabine watched them with a smile.

They played for a couple of hours. "Adrien it's time for Adrienne and I to go back home. I don't want Tom to sucpect."

"Not suspect what Sabine?" Tom asked walking over to them he was going back home from work when he saw them. "That you are betraying me? I warned you Agreste that I didn't want you near my family now you have to take the legal consequences. I can't believe this from you Sabine."

"Don't talk like that to Mrs. Sabine." Adrien said sternly. "The only thing she did was to allow me to see my daughter because I asked her to."

"You have refused to understand from the good method since I told you thousands of times that I don't want you near my family." Tom exclaimed.

"It's you that don't want to understand me Tom." Adrien replied.

"Please calm down." Sabine begged.

"I'll talk with you at the house this won't stay like this. Now give me my granddaughter back Adrien." Tom orderrd.

"First of all your granddaughter is my daughter." Adrien replied.

"Your daughter? You lost all rights of her when you abandoned Mari and her or did you forget?" Tom asked

"I left to become an Ophthalmologists so I could operate Mari." Adrien replied.

"That operation is only in your imagination. Do you really think that I will let you get near my daughter like that? Now the law will make you understand to not get near my family." Tom stated.


A knock was heard on Roland's door and when he opened it he found Detective Kurtzberg standing there. "We see each other again Mr. Rople. You were very ill but now you're not and we see each other again. Come with me."

"I didn't do anything wrong." Roland replied.

"We'll see about that. You'll have a lot of time to declare." Detective Kurtzberg stated.


In the Dupain house Mari was having trouble accepting that Barx had to wear a halo harness. "Mari I told you that Barx wears that halo harness so he can help and to obey you." Nathaniel explains for the tenth time that day.

"I know but I feel bad for him." Mari replied. "I don't want to hurt him."

"You won't hurt him it's only so he knows who to help and he does it with a lot of love." Nathaniel stated. "Now I have to go home I'll see you later." Mari nodded.


"Give me my granddaughter." Tom ordered again harshly.

"Please stop fighting." Sabine begged since Adrienne was crying now. "This isn't beneficial for Adrienne. Think about her."

"Stop it Sabine you did eniugh. Adrien give me Adrienne back you made a decision and now you come with the fake story that you will operate Mari to gain back her love but my daughter has forgotten you a long time ago." Tom said sternly.

Adrian sighs knowing that it was useless to argue with Tom. He hugged a still crying Adrienne before giving her back to Sabine. "I'm sorry Adrien." Sabine said before leaving with Tom. At the house Sabine calmed Adrienne before going to Tom. "Adrienne is calm now. I have never seen you so mad before."

"Because you never betrayed me like that before. You disrespected me." Tom replied. "And I'll never forgive you for that."

"Alright Tom don't forgive me but I won't permit you to talk to me like that. As if I was a stranger to you." Sabine stated. "You're not my dad so I don't disobey you. You're my husband who I respect and you need to respect me too."

"What's wrong with you Sabine? Is it so hard to follow my rules?" Tom asked. "I'm only doing what is best for this family. I don't plan to change my mind."

"That's your point of view and does my opinion not count? The man of the house has spoken but where do I stand Tom?" Sabine asked.

"Llisten to me closely Sabine from now on I don't want any Agreste in my house." Tom said sternly.

"That's absurd Tom." Sabine stated. "I already talked to Ruby and Maya-"

"Understand that it's a risk that we can't take. From now on the friendship between the Agreste and Dupain is over." Tom replied. "I don't want Mari to find out that Adrien came back or to get false hopes for an operation that would fail."


Adrien was still in the park thinking of what to do when Nathaniel walked passed him so he quickly stood up. "Nathaniel."

Nathaniel turned to the voice. "Yes? Who are you?"

"Adrien Agreste." Adrien replied.

"Your voice... You were the person Mr. Tom was arguing with the other day." Nathaniel stated.

"Yes that's because he didn't want to let me see Mari." Adrien replied. "So we could talk and clear many misunderstandings between us."

"Look sir all I know is that when I arrived at that house Mari was a woman with no hopes prepared to live her life with pities of being blind." Nathaniel stated.

"Mari doesn't need to get used to a reality that I can change." Adrien replied.

"She is already having the changes that she needs. She's learning to depend on herself to value life and to be happy of her condition." Nathaniel stated.

"That's not necessarily because Mari is living in a world that isn't her own." Adrien replied.

Nathaniel smiled. "It's funny how those that see think that life has no point for those that can't see but you're wrong because now Mari values her life. Now she can see things in a different way. Even if you don't believe it Mari can now see with her heart."

"Nathaniel tell me something and be honest are you two dating?" Adrien asked. "What relationship do you and Mari have?"

"Best friends and like her you need to accept that she needs to learn to see by the heart if she can't see with her eyes." Nathaniel replied.


Later Adrien went to the hospital to visit Edward and they started talking about everything that happened to Adrien with what happened to the Dupain and his conversation with Nathaniel. Adrien concluded that Nathaniel was a good guy he had nothing to say against him as long as he doesn't date Mari.

Soon Adrien's phone rang and he answered. "Hello?... Yes Detective Kurtzberg what's going on?... Really?"

"Yes I have the suspect Roland Rople here and I'm about to interrogate him right now" Detective Kurtzberg replied.

"Alright we'll be right there soon." Adrien stated before hanging up.

Detective Kurtsberg walked in the interrogation room. "Alright Roland Rople time to talk and you better say the truth if you don't want more trouble. You'll clear all the doubts that I have right now."


"I'm tired of your orders without thinking about how the rest of us feel or think." Sabine stated crossing her arms.

Marc walked over to them. "What's going on?"

"I just decided that I don't want any of the Agreste to enter this house." Tom replied.

"But uncle Tom you know that Ruby is my girlfriend." Marc stated.

"You will have to see your girlfriend somewhere else otherwise I'll have to ask you to leave the house too." Tom replied.


"I'm not afraid of you there's nothing against me." Roland replied.

"What about the kidnapping attempt of Adrienne Agreste Dupain?" Detective Kurtzberg asked. "What relationship do you have with Scorpion?"

"I didn't ask anyone to kidnap that brat and I don't even know who that guy is." Roland replied.

"Lila Rossi said you Isabella and her planned to make Marinette Dupain-Cheng daughter disapear." Detective Kurtzberg stated.

"Lila said a lot of lies she became crazy because of it. She only wanted to drag me with her because I told you the truth." Roland replied. "Plus you don't have any evidence of me being involved."

"Don't forget the violent escape you planned to do with Roxie Fuller and her son there's plenty of evidence for that." Detective Kurtzberg stated.

"That wasn't a crime since I took my son." Roland stated.

"I have been in this department for years and I have experience. My experience says that you're guilty of both things." Detective Kurtzberg stated. "You'll have evidence soon."

Soon Edward and Adrien walked in the room and the interrogation really started but Roland had a plan. "I'm going to fight for the custody of my son."


"It's the first time that I hear my parents argue like that." Mari told Marc.

"Argueing is normal in all marriages but don't worry they love each other they will be as before in no time." Marc replied.

"Marc please call Ruby I really need her to come so we can talk." Mari stated.

"I'll call her later for now let's walk around the garden." Marc suggested and Mari nodded.

'What do I do I can't tell her that uncle Tom doesn't want any of the Agreste to come here again.'


"Elsa Roxie came to us and she claims that you want to go between her marriage with Edward." Christopher told Elsa.

"That's not true I would never do that. I would never break up a family especially with children involved... Though I did tell my feelings to Edward but I didn't expect anything from him and he was honest with me saying that he only loves Roxie and I understood." Elsa replied.

"Than explain her reaction." Christopher stated.

"Roxie is my friend but she's sick of jealousy." Elsa replied.


"Think about what you are about to do." Sabine told Tom after he told her his next plan. "Are you sure about what you're about to do? Why don't you count on what she thinks?"

"I know what I'm doing." Tom replied. "Mari knows what I decide is the best for her."

Mari walked over to them. "You wanted to talk to me dad?"

"Yes Mari I want to tell you something that I have decided. You are going to live outside of Paris." Tom replied.

"Where are you going to send me?" Mari asked.

"To the United States in California they have a very good school for blind people." Tom replied.

"Tom we should discuss se the topic more deeply and decide as a family." Sabine stated.

"There's no need to I already decided for everyone." Tom replied.

"But dad I don't want to go." Mari stated. "Plus there's a great school for blind people here the one Nathaniel goes to and he says that it's a great school."

"No you already had to learn everything from Nathaniel that he could teach you." Tom replied. "Now it's time for you to have higher education."

"I don't want to go dad my whole family is here." Mari stated.

"Yes and I'm the head of this family and I'm saying that you'll go." Tom replied. "You'll leave tomorrow with Fu to the airport I already got your plane tickets."

"You can't do this to me dad. I don't want to leave Paris I want to stay here with you guys." Mari stated.


"Thief that's what you are a thief." Marc told Ruby playfully when he went to visit her at her house. "You stole my heart."

Ruby giggled and was about to answer when Adrien walked in the living room and they quickly stood up. "Adrien this is Marc Anciel Mari's cousin and my boyfriend."

Adrien and Marc shook hands. "It's nice meeting you though I heard a lot about you from Ruby and Mari that all I needed was to see you in person." Marc stated.

"Likewise." Adrien replied. "Ruby and Ana have told me a lot of great things about you that I only had to see you in person. They have told me that you have taken care of Mari and help her out. It's great to hear that she has many people to count on. The only thing I need to ask you is to not break my sister's heart."

"Don't worry I don't plan to break your sister's heart after all she's a Ruby and rubies should never be broken because than the light they give starts to dim down." Marc stated with a smile.


"Tom I beg you to please listen to your daughter." Sabine begged.

Tom looks at both of them. "Fine I'll let you stay if you promise me that you won't ever believe anything that Adrien tells you."

"... Yes dad I promise that I won't ever believe in anything that Adrien tells me." Mari replied hiding in her sadness.


The next day Nathaniel went to visit Mari. "I'm sorry for coming this early in the morning but I came to give you great news. I found out that in my school a new program is opening for those that want to be fashion designers and we can go right now to get more information on it."

Mari was overjoyed. "It's like a dream come true."

"I told you that good things happen to good people." Nathaniel replied.

Sabine and Tom walked to them. "Why so happy dear?" Sabine asked.

"Nathaniel says that his school is opening a fashion designer program. Nathaniel says that we can go right now to get more information. Can I go please?" Mari asked happily.

"Alright but be careful." Tom replied.

"You'll see I'll be the best fashion designer that Paris has ever met." Mari said happily.
