Natalie's POV

" Hello, Ma'am?" Alvaro said as soon as he picked the phone up.

" Hello, Alvaro." I said. " Is Leo at home?" I asked him.

" Yes, ma'am. He is sleeping currently." He said.

" Still sleeping?" I asked him. It must be 6 in the evening at Rio de Jeneiro.

" He was out last night. May be was up all night." He said.

" Out?!!" I asked.

" Yes, he was out just driving around alone." He said and suddenly my mood fall down.

" Why is that?" I asked. " Is he alright?" I asked him. He sighed deeply.

" That's the point. He is not." Alvaro said and I sighed softly.

" Should I come back?" I asked him.

" I don't think that's a good idea." He said. I knew it.

" Ok, I will wait. Just make sure Leo always has securities around him." I said.

" Will do that." He said.

" Better." I said. " Is he taking care of himself properly?" I asked him.

" No...ummm, I mean yes he is." He said.

" Ok, then. I just want these all finish soon and Leo get his peace of mind he deserves. I can't see him like this anymore. I didn't even see him from long. I do miss him a lot." I said.

" He misses you too. He keeps talking about you." He said.

" Really?" I asked.

" Yes, he does." He said.

" Ok, then. Just tell him to come back soon. I might not be that patient later." I said and chuckled.

" Will tell him." He said.

" Ok, then bye I guess." I said.

" Bye, ma'am. Take care." He said. I hung up and sighed. Leo sleeping right now!!! I wanted to tell him about the Thistlewood twins.

I let it go. He must be tired. I will sleep as well. I need to sleep. But before that I needed to have food. I was starving as well. I went downstairs and Julie was setting the table.

" Julie?" I called her seeing the arrangements. Is someone invited today?

" Yes?" She said.

" What's with the dinner? Suddenly special?" I asked her.

" Ma'am said someone coming for dinner." She said.

" Oh, is Mom and Dad at home?" I asked her.

" Yes, they are at home."  She said.

" Where is Noel? You saw him?" I asked her.

" I saw him going towards the study room a while ago." She said.

" Ok, then. Is the guests arrived?" I asked her.

" Yes, they are talking with Mr. & Mrs. Axton."she said.

" Oh, ok then." I said. They must be new business associates. I walked towards the study room. I found Noel doing something on his laptop.

" Noelle pie?" I called him and he looked at me with his cold eyes. I laughed hard.

" Don't call me that." He protested. " And why were you not picking up my phone?" He asked me.

" Why were you calling me? You could directly go to my room." I said.

" I couldn't." He said and sighed.

" Why is that?" I asked him.

" Because of that annoying girl."  He said.

" That Daina Windchester." He gritted. I got it now. They were new in our neighborhood. So, Mom might have invited them for a dinner. Mom is just too sweet to everyone.

" She did what?" I asked him.

" Nothing. You better better see this." He gave me his laptop and I found the news he was currently looking at.

Elliott Pallette is captured. That was the headline and I go through it. He really got captured at last!!!

" Can I borrow your phone?" I asked Noel as I left mine in my room. He gave me the phone. I called Chris. He picked it up.

" Chris." I said.

" Saw the news?" He asked me.

" Just found it out." I said.

" Good then." He said.

" How did that happen? Where were he?" I asked him.

" He was is Russia. He had a secret warehouse there. Many of his illegal issues found out and Leo filed case on him. So, he is not going to get out of jail easily this time." He said.

" That's great." I said and sighed." Is he going to come back now?" I asked Chris.

" May be he needs some time more. But he will. Don't worry." He said.

" I will wait until next week my exams finishes. Then I am going to Rio de Janeiro." I said.

" Ok, wait until then." He said and I sighed.

" Bye then." I said.

" Ok, Bye." He said and I hung up.

Leonardo's POV

" Ms. Axton called me." Alvaro said.

" Pick it up and tell her that I am sleeping." I said to him. " And act a bit. Tell her that I still need some time. Put it on speaker." I said and he nodded.

The fact is I wanted to go back to her but it's her exam from next week. I can't disturb her right now. I heard her voice. She was so upset. But I can't just go there right now. I will go there next week.

She hung up and she was really very sad and I was was the reason. I knew it.

" You should go back now." Alvaro said. I sighed." Everything is settled now you should go back to her. You are hurting her like this." He said.

" I don't want to disturb her and it's her exams starting from next week." I said.

" You won't distract her if you go there. In fact, she is distracted when you are not around. She keeps calling me and asking about you. She is worried about you. She can't study with stresses. And you are not helping her staying away either." He said and I sighed.

" I just want her to do well in the exam." I said. " I want her to top." He said.

" You need to go there and inspire her then. It's not making any sense right now. Christian was right. Like you she is going through the pain too. You shouldn't have shut her down like that." He said and he was right. I shouldn't do it. I leaned back on the couch. I looked at the ceiling. I thought for a second.

" Inform the pilot we are going UK tonight." I said and came upstairs.
