"Hello? This is Liberta speaking..."

"Liberta I need to tell you something...something important..."

Liberta dropped the phone in horror.

"Hello? Liberta? Hello?"

Present

Liberta was there, shocked.

Why? Why is this happening now? What do I tell Felicita? I can't marry her!

He sighed then got Angela to sleep, he went to the living room and watched TV. He fell asleep and the next morning, he woke up to a screaming and hingry little girl.

"ONII-CHAN! WAKE UP! IM HUNGRY!"

"Alright Angela, I'm awake. I'll make you breakfast." Liberta made her pancakes and they ate in piece.

"Angela...we have to leave tomorrow."

"Why Onii-chan?"

"We are going to live there."

Angela finished eating and frowned.

"But I have friends here and what about Felicita?"

"I'll talk to her while you talk to your friends." Liberta smiled which made her smile. They headed off to school, Liberta wasn't confident enough to break the news to Felicita but he had to tell her.

Liberta climbed up the tree and came in class through the window.

"Yo guys!"

"Liberta stop trying to be dramatic!" Nova muttered.

"What did you say Chickpea?"

"I said your too dramatic and an idiot!"

"Ha ha ha! You want a fight or something?"

"If I did then you'll go more stupid."

Liberta new it was an insult for him taking Felicita away from Nova. He left the arguement and went straight to his desk which shocked everyone including Nova himself.

Just then, Felicita came in. She had the most beautiful smile ever, the smile she had since she was small.

"Um...Felicita, can we talk...after school?"

She nodded then the teacher came in. All day, Liberta avoided her until the end of school.


Park

"Hey Liberta, we haven't talked much today."

"Uh yeah...I was quite busy..."

"So...you were saying..."

"Oh...right...I have to tell you something...important."

"Okay?"

"Me and Angela have to live Regalo tomorrow to go live with our auntie and uncle."

Felicita was flabbergasted, she was upset and nearly cried.

"So...I'm calling off the wedding. Please tell your father that."

Liberta walked away not looking back at the tearful red head. He almost cried as well since he loved her ever since they were young. But he had to choose his sister over his fiancee. This was for Angela to have a normal family life, he only wanted what was best for her. Even if it meant leaving his memories behind.


Felicita Household

Felicita walked home in tears. She was miserable, the love of her live left her and now she doesn't know what to tell her parents. She then bumped into her mother.

"Felicita darling, what's the matter?"

"M-Mom...L-Liberta...cancelled...the...wedding." Felicita then bursted into tears and ran into her mother's arms. Her mother was shocked but she comforted her dear child.

"He probably has his reasons, don't worry child. We need to talk about this with your father." Felicita nodded in her mother's arms.

"When is dad coming back?"

"Tonight at dinner, we'll discuss about this when we're eating. Please bring Liberta as well, he needs to be here." Felicita pushed out of her mother's arms still sad but not crying anymore.

"Okay mother."


Liberta Household

Liberta opened the door to the apartment seeing his crying little sister.

"Onii-Chan!" Angela ran to Liberta making him shocked.

"What happened? Did you get hurt? Bullied?" He hugged her.

"I-I told everyone and Antonio that I left and they...didn't care about me anymore! They think I'm a traitor! Antonio and I was used to be best friends but he ignored me." She cried harder than before.

"I'm sorry Angela, I made it worse for you at school. But we'll be leaving tomorrow so don't worry." He made Angela cheer up a bit.

"Why don't you get some snacks." She nodded and ran to the kitchen. Just then, the home phone rang and Liberta jogged up to get it.

"Hello?"

"Liberta is that you? This is Felicita."

"Oh Felicita..." Liberta grew a sad face.

"Listen, my parents want to discuss about your leaving. You have to come."

"Alright. Tonight?"

"Of course tonight! You're leaving tomorrow!"

"Okay, I'll be there at 6pm."

Liberta then hung up the phone thinking. I need to tell the others about this. He called everyone and told them about him leaving tomorrow morning. Then he hung up the phone and went to the kitchen to start cooking for Angela.

"Angela, can you eat by yourself tonight?"

"Why Onii-Chan?"

"Because I have somewhere I need to go. It's important."

Angela nodded and walked into the living room and watched SpongeBob SquarePants.

5:30pm

"Alright Angela, dinner is on the table. Start eating at 7, put the food in the microwave for 2 minutes. Don't open the door for anyone okay?"

"Yes Onii-Chan! I won't!" Liberta walked out the door and glanced at his aborable little sister once more before leaving.


Casino

Debito,Pace and Luca sat still looking down.

"I can't believe it!" Luca banged his hand on the table.

"Calm down Luca, I'm sure it's because of his family problem." Pace said.

"Blondie must of broken Bambi's heart."

"Yes but milady is much stronger than that!"

"Yeah yeah, just comfort her tomorrow." Debito sounded uninterested.

"I think that Nova should do that."

They all nodded then continued working at the Casino.


Nova Household

Nova couldn't express how he felt at that moment. Was he sad? Happy? Or just selfish? Loads of things were running through his mind

"He cancelled the wedding...my best friend is leaving here...I can finally be with Fel..." He dropped to his knees.

"How can I be happy? I lost a dear friend. Of course Fel being single again thrills me but...Liberta was actually quite fun to hang out with..." He went to his bed and layed down staring up at the ceiling.

"I should go say goodbye to him tomorrow."


Felicita Household

*DING DONG*

Felicita walked over to the door to find a well dressed Liberta holding some flowers.

"Liberta..."

"I brought some flowers, I saw it bloom radiantly in the park a suggested to bring it here." Felicita accepted it and told one of her maids to put it in a vase and lay it on the windowsil of her room.

"We have an hour until dinner, what do you want to do?"

Liberta looked at his surroundings.

"Hm...Theres nothing much to do inside the house. How about outside?" Felicita nodded then showed Liberta the massive garden. What caught Liberta's eye was the basketball court. He ran up to it and grined.

"I never knew you liked basketball."

"Well, it's something that doesn't come up much, I had a lot of business oversea so, I never got to play it a lot."

"Do you want to try a game before you leave tomorrow."

"Yeah but...Theres no one to play with."

"That's true but, I can ask one of the butlers to play."

Liberta smiled in happiness. "Thanks! You're the best!"

Felicita felt a little blush spreading around her cheeks. Stay strong Felicita! Don't act weak in front of him, it'll make him feel worse! Just stay strong for his sake.

A butler came dashing to the basketball court in his track suit.

"Milady, I'm here as you requested."

"Miguel. Can you play a one-on-one match with Liberta please?" A/N: Miguel is an OC, he only exist in my stories so don't get confused!

Miguel nodded and walked over to Liberta.

"Oh ho...You must be a good player since you look like your good." Liberta then took off his blazer, pants and shirt. He was now wearing shorts and a vest.

"I've played quite a lot before I met milady, lets get to settle Sir."

"Quite the formal language and call me Liberta." Miguel threw him the ball and Liberta started bouncing it. Miguel ran up to him trying to defend and snatch the ball off him.

"Oh ho, you are quite good, but my experiences are better!" Liberta ran past him and shoot the ball in the hoop.

6:45pm

Felicita sat on the bench looking at Liberta and Miguel play. She looked quite happy and was enjoying see Liberta play. Then they stopped playing, Liberta walked over to the bench all out of breath and Miguel came up sweaty.

"That was a nice game Miguel!"

"You too Sir."

"Geez, cut the formality! My name is Liberta not Sir!"

"My apologies, we should play again sometime."

"Gladly, once I come back again." Liberta walked over to the fountain and splashed some water on his face.

"Milady, I must go and get changed. Your father is coming home in 10 minutes."

"Thank you Miguel." He nodded then walked back into the mansion. Felicita walked over to Liberta who looked so relaxed.

"How was the game?"

"It was amazing! Who knew that Miguel was that good. I wish I could play him again."

Felicita was going to answer but left it. "You should get back into your clothes, my father is coming home." Liberta nodded and got changed back into his clothes. The two walked back into the mansion, a red headed man stood in front of them.

"Oh, Liberta! Surprised to see you!"

"Hello Mondo, I've come to have dinner."

"Great! Let's go, we're having lobster!"


Dinner table

"So my boy, what's with coming to dinner now?"

Liberta put down his fork to speak.

"Actually, I've come to give depressing news. I must tell you immediantly."

"Oh, what is it then?" Liberta looked at Felicita who looked away being quite stubborn then back at Mondo.

"I-I have to cancel the engagement and wedding..." Liberta looked down.

"What? Why is that?"

"Because...family issues, myself and Angela have to leave tomorrow morning to Tokyo and live with our relatives. They say it will help with Angela's education and Angela won't leave without me. I'm sorry." Mondo looked furious but when he saw how trembling and miserable Liberta was, he calmed down.

"You must love your sister that much to leave your home. You're a caring young man Liberta, I like that. When you're thinking of coming back here then call me. I would love to have our King of the Ocean coming home." Liberta looked up and smiled.

"Yes sir!" Everyone there was smiling and laughing even Felicita. They had a great time eating.

Then it came to leaving...

"Uh...Felicita."

"Yes?"

"Will you come...say goodbye to me tomorrow?"

"..." She shut the door on Liberta and ran up to her room sobbing in her pillow.

Liberta got his answer and walked home like a ghost. He felt so guilty for breaking Felicita's heart. After earning it a couple of days ago, he just lost it.


The Next Morning at the Harbour

Liberta dragged his and Angela's luggage onto the boat then came back to speak with his friends.

"Liberta, this is the end isn't it?" Pace said.

Liberta nodded. "But don't worry, I'll come back again. I promise!" That made Pace cheer up.

"Hey, good luck in the big city blondie!" Debito patted his back quite hard.

"Yeah Liberta. Good luck, you're gonna need it." Luca smiled.

"Thanks guys." Nova came up to Liberta and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Liberta, enjoy yourself. I'm gonna miss teasing you."

"Me too Chickpea." They bro hugged each other. Liberta then turned to Angela seeing her crying and hugging her friends. What caught Liberta's eye was Felicita, standing next to a building trying to hide herself. Liberta ran up to her.

"You came."

"Y-Yeah, of course I would!"

"I'm glad." Liberta hugged her and she blushed.

"Can I ask for one thing before I leave?"

"W-What is it Liberta?"

"Can I kiss you one more time?"

Felicita looked up at Liberta's handsome blue eyes and nodded. Liberta moved his face closer to hers as she shuts her eyes. Finally their lips touch. They felt the same sensation, the feelings they had since they first fell in love, since their first kiss and the proposal. They were in love and still are, Liberta gave all his love to her with that one kiss. They separated from each other's mouths gasping for air as their faces lighten a little red.

"Felicita, I love you, I always will. I won't fall for another girl, I will only fall for you. I'll be waiting for the day we meet again, it doesn't matter if you don't wait for me just remember that I will always love you." With that, Liberta walked off onto the boat with Angela crying by his side putting her attention only on Antonio. Liberta and Angela waved them goodbye, they kept on waving until they couldn't see their friends anymore.

A tall bald man walked up to them.

"Liberta, is it really okay to do this? You had a choice."

"Dante, I had to, it's for Angela...wait a minute...your suppose to sail this boat! Why are you here?"

Dante laughed. "Be patient boy! We're on course, you don't need to worry." Then Dante walked away.

"Onii-Chan, what are our uncle and auntie like?"

"They're nice people, they offered us a good life."

"Much better than here?"

"Much much better." Angela smiled a bit then walked inside to where she would sleep on the boat.

Liberta smiled as she walked away but then changed his face. He was sad, he lied to his little sister, life at Regalo was the best, nothing could change it.

"I'm sorry Angela that we have to live like this."
