Chapter 108: I'll Take You Home
-Let me go, I'll take you home.
Not knowing what word she had heard, Mariana finally let go of his hand and sat obediently in the seat.
Mariana was like a rain-soaked kitten at that moment, which was endearing.
After arriving home, it was Leopoldo who took Mariana upstairs and put her to bed. Just as he was
about to leave, he was stopped by a soft voice calling out to him. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
-How do you know I'm there?
That Rafael had complicated feelings for her, not as a stranger, it seemed that Leopoldo knew him too,
which made Mariana had to think a little more.
Leopoldo turned around, his cold, stern eyes rested on Mariana's body and he said indifferently,
-What do you think?
The woman on the bed closed her eyes,
-I don't know.
It was he who saved her.
Violence appeared in Leopoldo's eyes, and the anger and panic that had been pent up after seeing
such a scene suddenly exploded at this moment.
Leopoldo came striding to the edge of the bed and covered it tightly, kissing Mariana's lips, roughly and
wildly, like... the previous person.
Startled for a moment, the fear spread, Mariana struggled violently, clenched her fists with both hands
and kept hitting the man on the shoulders.
The man's strength did not stop in the slightest, as if he was confirming something, nibbling and even
tearing at will.
Little by little, Mariana stopped struggling. There was a faint familiar smell of tobacco on her breath,
which belonged to Leopoldo.
The bites also became softer, kissing gently, as if to soothe the rudeness of what had just happened.
After the kiss, they both gasped.
Mariana's chest was rising and falling, she was looking at Leopoldo.
-Don't look at me like that.
Leopoldo said, reaching up and covering Mariana's eyes, the curled lashes sweeping against his palm,
tickling and causing a flash of deep meaning in her eyes.
-You...
As soon as he exclaimed, the gravity that covered his body disappeared. And Leopoldo got up,
standing on the side of the bed, taking a deep look at the woman with open lapels and flushed face,
turning around and leaving with quick steps.
Mariana reached out and touched her red, swollen lips. The intensity of the sensation made her heart
flutter.
Leopoldo returned to his room and stood in front of the window, with a long, thin cigarette between his
fingers, its smoke billowing out. After standing for a while, Leopoldo extinguished the cigarette in his
hand, took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
-The Snow Bar, make it go away!
His tone was cold, with a chill that penetrated to the bone marrow, causing Lionel on the other end of
the phone to shiver slightly.
-Yes.
-Find out who else... is involved in this matter.
The assistant paused and still accepted it.
Hanging up the phone, Leopoldo raised his eyes, the moonlight fell, reflected in his eyes, lonely and
cold.
The next day, Mariana woke up, her mind was dizzy and she was having pain attacks, which made her
frown.
The sunlight outside was a bit dazzling, shining brightly on her body, which made Mariana wake up
instantly. She hurriedly grabbed the cell phone she had on the table and, once she opened it, she didn't
expect seven missed calls.
All of them were from... Leopoldo.
Her eyes twitched slightly, and all sorts of thoughts ran through Mariana's mind for a moment, rushing
through, but in the end it became her question from yesterday.
How did you know it was there?
He opened his phone and checked the call log, and sure enough, there was a call to Leopoldo the night
before, and the call lasted more than five minutes.
With slightly furrowed eyebrows, Mariana remembered that, when she was pinned to the bed by
Rafael, there had indeed been a sensation of something behind her, it must have been the telephone,
and that her struggle had mistakenly dialed the number to Leopoldo, which allowed him to save her!
Thinking like that, Mariana could not help remembering that hard kiss again, and unconsciously
reached out and touched her lips again. The swelling of her lips had already subsided, but the wound
on her lower lip that had bitten her yesterday was still there.
After sitting on the bed for a while, the cell phone in my hand suddenly rang.
When he looked down, he saw the words Ana.
She couldn't help but pick up the phone in fright and spoke with some concern,
-Anita, where are you now?
However, instead of answering his question, Ana exclaimed with a tone of surprise and bewilderment,
-Mari, you know? I actually woke up and found myself in a hotel, weren't we in a bar last night? And I
didn't find you!
Before Mariana could say anything, Ana intervened again,
-Mari, I'm going to give you great news! The new Snow Bar that opened yesterday suddenly
disappeared overnight, and the place where the bar used to be has suddenly become a wasteland with
nothing!
Disappeared? The image of Leopold in anger suddenly appeared in her mind, could it be him?
-Anita, were you well last night?
This phrase made Ana feel disconcerted,
-What could have happened to me last night? You, on the other hand, got drunk after a few drinks, and
it was the bar owner who went drinking with me afterwards! Then I woke up in the hotel's big bed. I
guess it was the bar owner who sent me here.
Mariana let out a long sigh of relief.
-It's good that you are well.
After a pause, Mariana spoke:
-You must have a bad headache today after last night's hangover, so you should keep resting, I'll go
and modify the costume.
After saying this, they both hung up the phone.
However, Mariana was still upset and could not calm down for a long time.
"A bar like that had disappeared overnight?"
But these matters were not very important now, two days had passed and I still had to change clothes,
if I couldn't finish it, it would delay the team's shooting schedule.
Mariana got up, washed up and went back to her small studio to continue working.
After a day and a night, he finally worked overtime to finish the jobs and sat back in the chair, breathing
a long sigh of relief.
The next day, Mariana took the modified suit to the set and first showed it to the director, who nodded,
and then sent it to Diana's room.
Standing in front of the dressing room mirror, looking at the plain white but secretly luxurious costume
she wore on her body, Diana's eyes sparkled with a hint of deep meaning, and only after a long
moment did she lift the corners of her lips and say:
-Your work is so good, it's so silky and extremely well fitted, as if this is my dress from the beginning.
For some reason, when Mariana heard the second half of his sentence, she always felt that it carried
some other meaning, but after frowning, she could not understand anything and could only give up.
