Leia instantly stood up from the sofa upon noticing Rita's presence in the mansion and hurriedly proceeded downstairs with the use of the elevator.
She strolled to the living room and saw Rita walking inside with a bit of a disturbed expression on her face. She walked up to her and examined her from head to toe, taking a sigh of relief on seeing that nothing was wrong with her.
"Why is your face like that?" She inquired, and a deep sigh exited Rita's nose as she took a deep bow in respect.
"Luna, things have taken a bad turn." She said, and Leia's brow creased in bewilderment. "What do you mean?" She moved to take a seat on the couch, and Rita did the same.
"After signing the contract with Richard yesterday, he...he proposed to me and..."
"Did you accept?" Leia's eyes fluttered, and she inquired in a calm tone.
Rita swallowed hard and slowly nodded her head. "Yes, I did. I tried to speak with you, but you were off and afraid to ruin your plans, I accepted it in the hope that it would help the plan or at least not ruin it." She hurriedly explained, and Leia turned to stare at her.
A slow grin emerged on her face, and she friendly patted her on the shoulder. "You are really good at this. Don't worry, it's actually helping the plan. However, because it turned into this lane, it's finally time."
"I said I would ruin him in under a month and I have." Her grin widened, and Rita's eyes blinked in a bit of confusion. "What do you mean?"
"When does he want the marriage to take place?"
"Next week, He wants it real quick," Rita replied, and she slowly nodded her head. "Perfect. This is what you have to do..." She began to explain the rest of the plan to Rita, and Rita's eyes couldn't help but widen in shock. "Luna... isn't that-"
"Leave the rest to me." With that being said, Leia stood up from the couch and proceeded to make her way to the backyard.
Rita stared at her disappearing back and a low breath exited her lips. Could she really do this? She asked herself, and an unknown glint flashed in her eyes.
Before Leia stepped out to the backyard, she halted and used the corner of her eyes to glance at Rita. A mysterious smile appeared on her face, and she proceeded out, shutting the door behind her.
She strolled towards the swing and took her seat, then pulled out her phone from her pocket. She scrolled through her contacts and dialed Alex's number.
[Hello, Miss Leia] Alex picked up immediately.
"Hello, Alex, there is something I need you to do for me."
"What is that?" Alex inquired with curiosity in his tone.
"Per our plan, I need you to purchase the three sets of bombs before next week." She replied, and a few seconds of silence took over before Alex spoke. [It's time, no?]
"Yes." Leia smiled as she replied, and Alex agreed to purchase the bomb. She hung up the call afterward, stuffed her phone into her shorts, then stood up from the swing. She placed her hands behind her back and gazed intently at the dark sky with not a single star on it.
A deep breath escaped her nose, and she turned around to walk back into the mansion.
She made her way back upstairs and walked to the room to meet Adrik, who was clad in a white robe, busy on his laptop.
She ambled past him to the bathroom and took a long bath before coming out to dress up in her pyjamas. She strolled to the bed and climbed in, then covered herself with the sheet and shut her eyes.
Adrik's brow puckered at her sudden quietness, and he turned the laptop off, then carefully placed it on the mini table.
He stood up from the divan and walked to the bed, then got in to lie beside her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and turned her so she would be facing him.
Leia opened her eyes and stared at him without uttering a single word.
"What's wrong, little wife?" He inquired, a bit concerned, and a low breath exited Leia's nose.
"Nothing," she replied and reached out her hand to caress his cheeks. "It's just that it's finally time for me to get my revenge, but there is this feeling that... I don't know..." She let out a deep sigh, and Adrik smiled at her as he brushed back her hair. "Little wife, do you really want revenge on him?" He asked, and Leia nodded her head in response. "I do! so badly. I mean, if I don't get revenge on him, I will never be at peace. He will pay for everything he did to me and my mother." She said this with a deadly and hateful expression on her face.
Adrik nodded at her and pulled her closer to him to cuddle her. "Well... there is no problem then." He smiled at her and gently stroked her arms.

Amanda, who had been transferred to her mother's second estate, sat in the living room with a lost expression on her face and her body shivering now and then.
After that gruesome scene, she was unable to get it out of her mind. The pool of blood, Mr. Robyn's broken head, and the walls that were stained with blood. It all just kept appearing in her mind.
The door to the living room was pushed open, and the female cop, who went by the name of Lian, walked in and moved to sit on the sofa opposite her.
A low sigh left Lian's nose as a pessimistic expression made its way to her face. "Miss Robert, we are sorry for the loss of your uncle, but for us to find out who the murderer is, we need your corporation and statement, okay."
Amanda slowly raised her head to look at her and slowly nodded in understanding.. Lian smiled and requested for her to follow them to the station.
