Lu Han walked them out, while Mary went upstairs home. Lu Han gave her a stolen kiss walking behind Devon and Nara. Dariya was shocked and hit Lu Han. Devon heard the noise and turned back catching Dariya hitting Lu Han. "You shouldn't hit men Dariya," Nara warned and she stopped. Devon smiled "You two, solve the fight." He advised and walked to the car. 'What the hell is he doing?' she thought all the way back home. 'What does he think he is doing?" she came home and undressed. She washed up and went to bad. It was 10 already. They seemed to have spent a lot of time in Mary's place. She took the phone and texted him. 'Don't cross the line.' And deciding to not think further. she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

The next day Dariya got lazy and stayed in bed late deciding to not go to college. She didn't worry since she had a lot of attendance needed for the exams to attend to. Nara came to her room asking her and she informed her she is taking leave. Nara sent her the breakfast to the room. Nara looked pale 'You alright?" Dariya asked. "Yes. I'm alright." She said and left. But to Dariya it looked like Nara is going through morning sickness. Dariya smiled and inside the washroom. She put on the black jean and a white crop top. She tied a black plaid shirt on her hips and wore the sneakers. she went down holding the empty breakfast tray and went straight to the kitchen. Nara was there sitting at the breakfast table drinking orange pulp. She gave Nara a back hug smiling and kissed her hair. Nara turned and looked at Dariya. "Let's not spread the word."

"I won't until you wish you to. Not even to Devon." And Nara nodded. "But I want to tell you something else." Nara looked confused. Dariya sat opposite to her and took a deep breath. "When Lu Han comes for delivery, ask him to take those back. I don't want trouble."

"I know they are yours. I understood. But I didn't expect Devon to buy them." Nara told her.

"I emptied the attic. There's nothing there now. Some are put in display in the Art Museum."

"What?" Nara asked in shock.

"Some are in the art gallery, they will be sold." Dariya continued. "Mary helped me and I got it through her connection. I don't want any troubles for her."

"I will pretend I didn't know. Don't walk around making it obvious. Let my husband do whatever he wishes. One thing, he hasn't yet recognized them. So no problem." Nara advised her. Dariya got up to leave. "Where are you going?"

"Library." Nara looked at for a few minutes and gave her permission. "Go."
