Right From The Start {Book 2}

Caught Red-Handed

THIRD PERSON'S POV

"Who are you texting?" [Leon]

"Leon..." [Lara]

"It's Ludmilla and Diego, right?" [Leon]

"I don't know if they have a plan, but my only job was to keep you away from Violetta." [Lara]

Leon is flabbergasted.

"I can't take this anymore." [Leon]

Grabs his bag, jumps on his bike to charge as far away as he can from Lara. Lara. Diego. Ludmilla. Everyone.

- - - NEXT DAY - - -

Today is the day of the dance competition, nerves and adrenaline is high in the studio. Participants having to speak with their partners, rehearse if there is time, get dressed, hair & makeup, discuss the order, setup cameras, etc. At the end four students will be given a chance that could possibly open up doors for careers.

Marroti: Bienvenido! Right now we are starting a live stream for On Beat Studios first ever dance competition. Five pairs will perform their choreography, at the end you viewers will vote for which pair you liked the most. At the end of this stream you the top two pairs with the most likes will win a trip to Spain to perform at U-Mix's debut showcase. Where Violetta Castillo and Federico Paccini will be performing their first single. Let's get on with our first pair, Federico and Natalia!

Marroti: Fantástico! Our next pair for the competition is Broadway and Camilla.

Right when Ludmilla was about to be on stage next, she came up with the idea of finishing her plan on Violetta. With the text that Lara sent out, clearly it is making Ludmilla act a bit paranoid. Calling Diego for a quick update on his part of the plan.

"What is it now?" [Diego]

"You have to break up with Violetta before she goes up." [Ludmilla]

"What?" [Diego]

"Think about it. Everyone is expecting her to be a winner. She can't win if she doesn't perform and she does not perform when she is heartbroken. The chances of me winning will increase meaning I win the trip to Spain and not her. The world will put everything back into perspective." [Ludmilla]

"It's not the right time to be talking about this. We just started dating a few weeks ago." [Diego]

"You and I have a deal. Do not get caught behind little miss princess." [Ludmilla]

"I'm not. I am certain it won't work because Violetta does not have strong enough feelings for me. The chance of her being heartbroken is very low." [Diego]

"If she didn't have strong feelings for you why did she freak out seeing you and me together in a closet? Or invite you to her father's engagement party?" [Ludmilla]

"I still believe it is too early." [Diego]

"The longer you prolong this final step of your job, the longer it will take for you to know who is your biological father. Your choice." [Ludmilla]

At this point Diego is not sure if continuing the plan with Ludmilla is worth it. Violetta knows Diego is looking for his dad, it's apart of his dream. She has accepted that and is there to support him in every way. Just maybe there is enough hope that he can find his dad in another way. However what Ludmilla knows maybe the key to finding his dad a lot quicker than when he first started his investigation. Will he had the heart to hurting Violetta?
