Hidden Secrets

Chapter 11

Annabell POV

We were at the hotel: me, Adrien, Mari, Kagami, Luka (who came too), Alix and Chloe, discussing random things and I thought it was the best time to reveal my plan.

"Guys we need to expose that liar once and for all, here's the pl-"

I didn't finish because I heard a knock on the door. Chloe opened and we saw Juleka come in with shame in her eyes.

"I'm sorry for treating you like I did, I'm especially sorry to you Marinette, I should have known earlier that she was lying, heck I'm Jagged's daughter to cry out loud."

We were surprised to say at least, I knew that Luka and Jules were Stone's children, but I didn't know that Juleka could swear. I guess the rest didn't too.

"Wait, wait, wait, you're WHAT?!" Mari said.

"Hold up, that means that Luka..." Kagami also looked shocked.

"Well, that explains Music boy's talent." Chloe said.

"Okay, NOW that we have everything sorted out can I please go on with the plan already? Thank you. So as I said... "

I was once more interrupted by knocking.

"What the hell, can't I finish a sentence properly?"

This time there were Nino and Nathaniel.

"We're sorry. We were stupid to believe Lila over you, we should have known you would never do something like they say Marinette, please forgive us."

"As you came back on your own, I forgive you, although I won't trust you yet, now sit down please. Belle you were saying something about a plan?"

"Finally, ok so for step one we can use her lie about being MDC. Marinette, I will need you to make designs for all the girls dresses, but only designs. When you give them to me, of course with notes describing them, I will send the to a friend of mine who has a company making formal wear on order."

"So I don't have to sew them?"

"I mean you can if you want to but it'll take a lot of time and money."

"Okay, although I have mine, Chloe's and your's ready, and I'm working on the one for Alix."

"Fine, the next part is to convince Lila to hand over her 'designs' so I could swap them with yours. I'll tell her about this friend, I'll act as if I believe her lies and in order for this to work Juleka, Nino and Nathaniel need to act too. Next we can use our connections to make sure all the people that she lied about will be there. We will expose her at the gala when we announce Mari's and Adrien's relationship. Everyone got it? Okay, so good night everybody."

With that we went home with Adrien and went to sleep.

"Hey Lila, how are you?" I said and she replied:

"I'm fine, thanks, what brings you here?"

"Yeah, aren't you friends with those bullies Mari-trash and Chloe?"

"Pfft, please, with them? I was just acting." I may or may not have lied. "I heard that you're making the girls dresses. I could help you, my friend has a sewing workshop, you will just have to give me the drawings and I will deliver you done dresses, how does that sound girls?"

"You can do that?" Rose squealed.

"Yeah, it so nice for you to do that."

"It's so sweet of you. I guess I can give you designs after school, you can come to my place." Rossi said and I agreed knowing that phase one is on the go.

A/N You didn't tell me what redemption you want so I decided to go with both, also the ships in the story are: Adrienette, Chlonath, Lukagami, Ninalix, Marcleka, although the couples don't show much, they may appear in the sequel if I do one, I probably won't :). I ship Juleka and Marc so much, because I don't like gay couples, (I'm Catholic) and even if, Rose likes prince Ali, Chloe and Nathaniel are just cute and Kim has Ondine.
