OCTAVIA’S PLACE>
“Goodnight babe,see you tomorrow” Charlotte waved at Octavia and Octavia rolled her eyes
“I really enjoyed myself so much tonight,bye babe” Alexa chuckled
“I h@të you silly” Octavia scoffed
“I love you too” Alexa blew her a kiss and entered the car with Charlotte
Octavia watched as they left and she turned only to find Royce behind her
“What do you want,pervert” She snapped
“Pervert? How am I a pervert?” Royce asked
“You Füçking saw everything!” Octavia yelled
“Everything? It was only the upper part….” Octavia hit his chest
“Oh come on,it was you who took off your blouse not me” Royce laughed
“Did I do anything stupid that night?” She asked
“Of course,a lot of stupid things,but I won’t tell you” Royce smirked and started walking away
“Hey you idiot! Tell me what happened right now!” Octavia ran after him and they entered his apartment together
“No I won’t,until you become calm” Royce said and Octavia exhaled
“Fine,I am. Now tell me” She muttered
“You took off your blouse and asked me if I loved what I saw” Royce said and Octavia staggered
“I….I….I….asked…you that?” She asked
“You think I’m lying? Should I display how you acted…”
“No!” Octavia yelled
“Well,here’s my answer..” Royce grinned
Octavia’s eyes widened
“I’m not asking you for an answer” She said,running toward the door
“I loved the sight!” Royce called after her
“I h@të you!!” Octavia yelled and ran out
Royce bursts into laughter
“Such a drama queen” He muttered and went into his room,he fell on the bed and took his phone. The first news on his feed was a picture of Leonard and Mariana holding hands
‘Are they really dating?’ He thought and went through the comments
“Secret relationship?” He muttered and dropped his phone
He sighed out,trying not to remember their good moments together.
Even though he still feel guilty,he now has a peace of mind since Veronica left. She must have really came to Diamond college because of him
“Crazy witch” he scoffed and closed his eyes
••••••
Mariana was just coming downstairs,she was dressed up already. She had both blue and loki in her hands. Leonard left the house already.
“Hey Blue,are you hungry?” Mariana asked as blue kept clenching her teeth on her own fur
“I guess she is” The maid appeared
“Oh,please feed them” Mariana smiled,handing the two cats to her
“Okay ma’am” She smiled and left with them
Mariana got to the living room and immediately Ricardo came in
“Oh,Ricard….” He hugged her before she could finish
“I missed you” He muttered before letting her go
Mariana smiled
“I guess I’m acting too sudden,I can’t wait for you to recover all your memories. You’re the most clingy one trust me” Ricardo said
“I doubt that,not me” Mariana said and shook her head
“Should we bet on that then?” Ricardo asked
“Yes,I’m very sure I’m not gonna be clingy,what do you take me for?” Mariana scoffed
“Oh wow,then the bet. If it turns out you’re the clingy one…”
“I will apologize” Mariana cut him off and they both laughed
“But if you’re still the clingy one,expect a beat up from me” She said
“Fine,let’s go” Ricardo grabbed her hand and they went out of the house together
••
“Its here?” Ricardo asked when he stopped in front of the mansion
“Yeah,I guess I grew up here” Mariana muttered
“What do you remember about your start in this house?” Ricardo asked
“Seriously I don’t know either,I just find myself here,and I believe wh@tëver my aunt says” Mariana replied and Ricardo nodded
“Let’s go in” Mariana muttered and they both stepped down from the car
They walked toward the gate and Mariana knocked gently,The gatekeeper looked so happy when he saw her
“Young Miss!”
Mariana smiled
“Good to see you again,is aunt Clara home?” She asked
“Yes sure she is,please come in”
Mariana and Ricardo went in together
They got inside and met Clara in the living room,with her usual wine in front of her. She was surprised to see Mariana and at the same time confused about who Ricardo is
“Aunt” Mariana smiled
“Hey Mari,I didn’t know you would be coming here” she said
“Yeah,I’m glad we met you tho” Mariana said
“Who is he?” Clara asked,looking at Ricardo
“I’m her twin brother” Ricardo said and Clara’s eyes widened
“What?! How come? I never told you about having a twin brother…”
“Same way you lied to her about her parents death” Ricardo snapped and Clara froze
“What…what are you talking about?” She stammered
“Listen aunt,I don’t know what’s going on either but,recently I’ve been loosing my mind. And then,he found out I’m his lost sister,please aunt I just want to know if there’s anything you’re hiding from me. Please…..about my parents….”
“Ion know anything about your parents Mariana,so how do you expect me to know if he’s your brother or not” Clara cut in and Mariana’s eyes widened
“What do you mean?” She asked
“Have a seat” Clara rolled her eyes
They both sat down
“I actually found you” She muttered
Mariana and Ricardo exchanged glances
“Where and when?” They asked at a time
“It was a seashore,seven years ago” Clara answered
“Seashore??! Does that mean I actually really drowned?” Mariana asked
“I have no idea Mariana,but you were looking Füçking terrible when I found you…”
“What do you mean?” Ricardo asked
“Her face was so bad,it was as if she was injured by a wild animal,but she was half dead” Clara replied and there was silence
“I was so sad when I found you,because….I’ve always wanted a child of my own and I felt pity seeing you that way,I took you to the hospital when I discovered you were still breathing. The Doctors took care of you but your face was changed” Clara said and tears rolled down Mariana’s eyes
Ricardo held her hand and squeezed it a bit
“But…why did you lied to me that my parents are dead?” Mariana asked
“Because you totally lost your memories,I guess that was how you developed your heart disease too” Clara said and Ricardo’s eyes widened
“Heart disease?” He faced Mariana and she swallowed
“You…have a heart disease?” He asked again but Mariana ignored him and faced Clara instead
“You knew about it all these while and you never asked me about it,,I was Füçking dying!!” Mariana yelled in tears
“I couldn’t ask about it because there’s nothing I could do!! I was bankrupt!” Clara yelled back and Mariana’s eyes widened
“Do you know how hard it was sending you throughout highschool?? You study in the best university Mariana,do you know how hard it is?? You don’t know!!”
“You should have just go for a cheaper one aunt……”
“Because I loved you” Clara cut in
“You never showed me any sign of love” Mariana shook her head
“But in my deepest heart I do….that was why….I couldn’t reject it when Mrs Briggs wanted you for her son” Clara muttered
“Are you saying……she actually paid you??” Mariana asked
“I’m sorry,I couldn’t resist. She promised to take care of your fees and…I don’t want you to be a drop out Mariana….I want the best for you…forgive me” Clara said in tears
Mariana stood up and rushed toward her,she hugged her tightly
“No,I should be asking for your forgiveness instead. I was a burden to you without me knowing,I’m so sorry aunt Clara” Mariana said,crying harder
“No,I’m more sorry. I made you think I never loved you. I’m so selfish…”
“No,it’s all my fault”
They both continue crying while Ricardo watched until they were calmed
“So,you two are twins? Have you met your parents?” Clara asked
“No,I want my memories back first” Mariana replied and Clara nodded
“You two should wait,I will inform the maids to prepare you something to eat” Clara said and Mariana smiled
“Thank you aunt”
Clara walked away and Mariana faced Ricardo
“I guess it’s really true,twin brother” She said
Ricardo nodded
Mariana smiled and immediately hugged him
“I can’t wait to remember every single thing,I really can’t wait” She said
“Me too” Ricardo muttered,hugging her more tightly
