Leonard also traced her gaze and he took the frame and returned it to the right position before facing her
“Tell me what happened” he said
“That picture…..” Mariana muttered
“My ex best friend and I” Leonard said
“We were fifteen back then” he added and Mariana looked at him
“So….which one is you?” She asked and Leonard looked at her
“Seriously? You don’t know which one??” He asked and Mariana shook her head
“This one” he pointed but Mariana’s eyes were only focused on the second boy
“Where is he?” She asked and Leonard kept quiet
“The first aid box” He muttered,immediately changing the topic
“Oh right yeah” Mariana said,her headache already stopped. She sat down on the bed when Leonard dropped the box
“I wonder where the wound is” she mumbled,stroking his hair
“Ouch” Leonard let out a sharp Mõ@n
“I got it” Mariana said and immediately separated his hair
“It’s quite deep,we should go to the hospital” She said
“I didn’t know you care about me so much” Leonard chuckled
“It’s just a payback,you saved me” Mariana rolled her eyes and started treating the wound,after that she attached the medical plaster
“All done” She muttered and covered the plaster with his hair
Leonard took his phone,he heard his phone buzzed minutes ago but he didn’t check
*COULDN’T FIND THEM,I THINK THEY ESCAPED* from Ricardo
Leonard frowned
“What happened?” Mariana asked
“The guys escaped” Leonard replied
“You don’t have to worry about me,I will be more careful……”
“You better be” Leonard scoffed
Mariana got up
“Goodnight” She muttered and Leonard pulled her back on the bed earning a sudden gasp from her
“Where do you think you’re going?” He asked
“Huh?” Mariana widened her eyes
“I saved you,I deserve at least a reward” He said
“I helped you with your wound,isn’t that enough?” Mariana asked
“I got hurt because of you so that one is out of it” Leonard said
“So….what do you want?” Mariana asked slowly
“Sleep with me…..”
“What?!!!!” Mariana screamed
“What are you thinking…..I’m saying……so you can calm me down when I have the nightmare” Leonard said and Mariana exhaled
“So you can’t let me Füçk you?” Leonard asked and Mariana frowned
“No,never” She scoffed and Leonard kept quiet,he had actually wanted to ask for that but he immediately changed it because of her expressions.
“So,would you stay beside me??” He asked
“Yeah that’s quite better,a pay back. Let me take my bath first” she said and went out of Leonard’s room
Leonard groaned
“I think I’m going crazy” he muttered and lie down on the bed,minutes later Mariana came in. She was putting on her nightie and Leonard’s eyes pierced right into her body
“Your eyes” Mariana said and Leonard chuckled
“You look hot” He muttered
“Don’t even think I’m trying to impress you,this is the most covered up nightie I have” Mariana rolled her eyes
“I wish I can see you in the most sëxiest one” Leonard said naughtily
Mariana scoffed and joined him on the bed,she faced him and Leonard smiled
“What,why are you smiling?” Mariana asked
“Nothing,goodnight” He muttered and pulled her closer by the waist
“Leonardo…….”
“Don’t complain Rianna,just finish the so called pay back” Leonard groaned and she kept quiet
He pulled her more closer,hugging her waist before he closed his eyes. Mariana stared at his face for some minutes until she slept off. Leonard opened his eyes after she slept,
‘I think you’re going to be the end of me at this rate,but I’m scared of losing you like others’ he thought and slowly lean closer,he kissed her eyes and also dozed off

NEXT MORNING ≈DIAMONDS UNI**
Immediately Mariana came into view as she entered the school compound,tones of murmurs came up from different angles,some students are even taking her pictures as she walked
‘What’s going on?’ Mariana thought and immediately covered her face with the hoodie she was putting on
? It’s her!!!!!!
? She’s right there,that’s the slut!!
Some group of girls who are obviously not students from Diamond university started rushing toward her
? How dare you date Leonard!!!
? He’s for Jessica you Bîtch!!!
That was when she realized,they are obviously Jessica’s fans or the fans who want Leonard and Jessica together
They started throwing things on her,bottles,papers,eggs,some were even throwing stones
Mariana could only protect her eyes from the things being thrown,she didn’t move an inch from where they surrounded her,she only covered her face in tears
? Stay away from him you Bîtch!!
? You’re just a slut!!
? He’s for Jessica!!!
Some students are watching the scene and taking numbers of videos but none of them moved close to the scene
Ricardo drove into the school and the first thing his eyes caught was the scene
“What the Füçk?” He immediately rushed out of the car,running toward them
Nico and Royce also saw what was going on and they both ran toward her at the same time too but Nico got there first and immediately covered Mariana up while they keep throwing things
“Mari” Nico called and Mariana looked up,her eyes were so red
“Nico” She called,breaking into more tears
Nico immediately hugged her tightly not minding the stones landing on his back
Ricardo and Royce got there also
“Are you all insane!!!!” Ricardo yelled angrily and the girls all stopped
“How dare you all come in here to cause this crazy scene…..”
? She’s a slut!!
? She should stay away from Leonard!!
“I see,you really mean business.” Ricardo muttered and immediately his bodyguards covered everywhere and the girls started shivering in fear
“Make sure none of them escape” Ricardo said
“You all are going to complete your protest in jail,trust me” Ricardo muttered
They immediately scattered trying to run away but the bodyguards caught them all and in a minutes,they were all packed into the car and driven out of the school.
Ricardo turned to Mariana who was still crying on Nico’s shoulder
“Are you okay?” He asked and she broke the hug
Royce bite his bottom lip and walked away
“Mariana!!” Charlotte and Octavia ran to them
“Are you okay? I just saw the video,I’m sorry I wasn’t here” Octavia immediately said almost in tears
“Are you okay?” Charlotte asked
Mariana nodded
“You should just go home,you look so messy” Nico said,wiping her tears
Mariana nodded
“I will take you home” Ricardo and Nico said at a time and then exchanged glances
Mariana turned to Nico
“I will just go with him,thank you for everything” Mariana muttered and her hand slowly slipped from Nico’s hand
She followed Ricardo
“You are also filled with the mess” Octavia said to Nico but he ignored her walked away
As soon as Ricardo drove out of the school,he immediately texted him about what happened,and it’s even easier coz the news is everywhere already as usual

JESSICA’S HOUSE**
Jessica was laughing out loudly as she watched the video of how Mariana was ridiculed in school. She sipped from her wine and continued watching the videos
She’s the one who actually sent those girls and paid them some money to do that
“Girlfriend my @$$,I’m going to kill her” She said with a wicked smirk
All of a sudden,the door burst open and Leonard walked in looking angry,she stood up
“Leo…….” The slap from Leonard make her stagger and she fell on her b*tt on the couch
“Leonard!!” She screamed and touched her lips which bursted as a result of the hard slap
“If you call me again I’m going to do worst,how Füçking dare you!!!” Leonard yelled
“What are you talking about?!! How Dare you hit me!” Jessica yelled back and Leonard almost punched her mouth but he stopped himself or he’s only gonna destroy her face and that won’t be nice if the news go around again
“I’m only going to warn you this once so listen carefully,the next time you try this bullSh|t again trying to hurt her,I swear I will forget about me being a Leonard and destroy your face” Leonard said
Jessica couldn’t talk,she was dumbfounded,she have never seen the angry side of him and she wouldn’t deny that it scared him
Leonard glared at her again and went out
Jessica bite her lips hard trying hard to control her tears but she couldn’t
“I’m going to kill you Mariana!!!! I swear you wait and see!!!”

LEONARD’S MANSION**
Immediately Leonard parked the car in the lot,he rushed out of the car and ran inside
He met Ricardo in the living room
“You’re finally here” Ricardo said
“Where’s She?” Leonard asked
“Her room”
Leonard ran upstairs without waiting,he entered Mariana’s room and met her packing her stuffs
“What…..what are you doing?” He asked trying not to believe it’s what he’s thinking
“I’m leaving Leonard” Mariana replied
“Why?”
“I don’t have any reasons to be here,I can’t continue staying here. I just feel like I’m going to be in more dangers if I stay with you,I’m leaving,we both don’t want the engagement in the first place anyway” Mariana said and started going out
Leonard followed her until they got downstairs,Ricardo stood up
“Rianna wait…..”Leonard grabbed her hand
“If you want me to stay then Füçking tell your crazy fans and the world that I’m your fiancee!!!!” Mariana yelled and Leonard’s hand dropped
“You can’t do that right?” Mariana asked
“Can you just understand…..”
“Let’s end this crazy Sh|t here,goodbye” Mariana muttered and went out of the house with her bags
