"So what do you say what will it be?" I asked her. ''So you said it's not that bad that I don't have to sleep with him right?'' asked Natalia. ''Yeah,'' I said. ''And it won't spread over internet I won't entirely take the blame right?'' asked Natalia. ''No,'' I said. ''And also...okay sorry the last one but this is only between me and you right? You won't share it all over?'' asked Natalia. ''No! I would never!'' I exclaimed, ''trust me Natalia you are totally safe and it won't be your fault at all. Just trust me I know how I will do this,'' I told her. ''Okay sounds fair. But I'm afraid as I told you before I've never done this, am bad at it, and I don't know how to do it,'' said Natalia. ''Aww. Such an innocent girl you are. Don't worry I will even train you myself,'' I said.

At the restaurant...
''Thank you for accepting to meet me here,'' said Trinity. ''No problem dear I just had to see you,'' I said. ''I know you probably don't want to see me but I wanted to talk to you. First of all I'm so sorry about your restaurant. Honestly speaking, it was not my intention. I didn't know it would end up in this,'' said Trinity. ''Yeah Trinity well,'' I sighed, ''I'm very angry with you but I know for sure it wasn't your intention,'' I told her. ''Yes Ma'am I swear,'' said Trinity. ''But Trinity tell me what led you to do this? Why didn't you tell me about you having feelings for Leonardo,'' I said to her. ''I'm sorry it just got out of control. And I'm also sorry for even falling in love with him,'' said Trinity. ''Now come on. Don't say that it wasn't your fault it's being human,'' I said. ''It's human for us to fall in love,'' I said. ''Yeah but I should have known he wouldn't love me back,'' said Trinity. ''Well did you ask him?'' I asked. ''Well no. Because I knew already what the answer would be,'' said Trinity. 
''Trinity you don't get it. Leonardo and Madelyn are not dating. At least you should have tried asking him. Now you let jealousy kill you and you did this...'' I told her. ''Yeah I'm sorry,'' said Trinity. ''It's okay but next time don't do this okay?'' I said. ''Okay I promise,'' said Trinity, ''and can I please ask you for a favour?'' she asked. ''Yeah go on,'' I said. ''So I know soon everyone will know that I was bailed out. But for now I want to keep it low key till the news will come out. So can you please do me a favour? Please let's keep this between us,'' said Trinity. ''No problem dear we have had enough drama,'' I said. 
Eleanor's Pov 
''So are you ready?'' I asked Natalia while we were in the car. ''Yes,'' she nodded. ''Great!'' I exclaimed. I watched her get out and getting ready for our plan. ''I hope it works,'' I muttered to myself. 
Natalia's Pov 
I was so nervous. Waiting for Leonardo to come around this is where Eleanor said Leonardo  would pass. However she knew that I don't know and that wasn't my business. My business was to do what I was told to do and get it done with. I didn't like doing this at all but I knew for sure I needed this money so...I had no choice. Not for basic needs or clothes and stuff but for a really big opportunity that I knew I needed the money for and couldn't miss right now in my life. Another one might not come by. 
Finally I saw Leonardo's car. 
It was time for action...
I stumbled, almost tripped, then I thought I had my balance in control but finally I tripped. Everything fell my bag and everything in it. Coming out of his car, Leonardo helped me up and picked up my bag and put everything back. ''Hey are you okay?'' asked Leonardo. ''Yeah a little bit,'' I said. ''Let me see,'' said Leonardo as he held my leg. He took out his first aid kit and treated it. ''Wow you do first aid?'' I asked him. ''Yeah a very important skill to learn,'' said Leonardo. Just then we saw the journalists taking pictures. I know this was part of the plan but I felt very uncomfortable. ''I'm sorry to leave you like this but we need to get out of here...now!'' exclaimed Leonardo. ''Please go with me I can't run fast on my own,'' I said. ''Okay no problem if you can get in the car and let's go quick!!!'' he exclaimed. I did as he told me and we drove away. 
On another street finally we got away from them. ''Whew that was close,'' said Leonardo as he sighed. ''Yeah like why do they chase people all the time?'' I asked him. ''Hmm. Because they are journalists,'' said Leonardo. I burst into laughter Leonardo joined me. He's so kind anyway. Which is why I wondered why Eleanor wanted him to get a bad name. 
Just then he interrupted my thoughts. ''I'm sorry. But I don't think we introduced each other. The name is Leonardo and yours?'' said Leonardo as he brought out his hand for a handshake. I received it. ''I'm Natalia. Nice to meet you Leonardo,'' I said. ''Thanks you too,'' he said. I smiled. ''So like? How is your leg now? I was about to head home now,'' said Leonardo. I knew where this was going he probably wanted to go home now but I couldn't let him go, so I found a way to keep us talking for sometime and me getting closer to him. ''It's still very bad actually. I don't think I will be able to walk nicely for a while,'' I lied, ''and especially now but what I can do I will need to get home anyway,'' I said laughing. ''Oh so it's still that bad? I'm sorry I didn't know. But don't worry I will drop you off to your home. You can give me the directions,'' said Leonardo. ''Thank you so much may God bless you!!!'' I exclaimed. 
I gave him the directions we were now half way home next part of the plan. 
''Please don't kill me but that's not the way to my home,'' I said to him. ''Wait what??? But these were your directions!'' he exclaimed. ''Yeah I know well...I'm sorry I was ashamed,'' I said to him. ''Ashamed? I'm sorry I don't understand,'' said Leonardo. ''Well I haven't really found an apartment to live in. See...just today I just came to Texas from New York and well I was looking for an apartment to live in,'' I said to him.  ''Then why did you say that we come here?'' asked Leonardo. ''I wanted an apartment here but I just realised to rent here is expensive,'' I said. ''Oh so sorry. So now? What are you going to do next?'' asked Leonardo. ''I don't know Leonardo. Well I can't look for one now and I don't have enough money to spend the night at the hotel,'' I said. I sighed deeply. ''If I won't find myself sleeping on the street,'' I said. Leonardo looked at me. From his eyes I could tell he felt sorry for me. He put his hand on my shoulder. ''Hey don't say that. I can assist you. See...you can sleep at my house for the night it has plenty of rooms. Then tomorrow I can help you look for an apartment,'' said Leonardo. ''Wait what really?'' I asked trying to sound shocked. 
''Yeah why not?'' asked Leonardo. I smiled but then said in a sad voice, ''No don't worry I wouldn't want to disturb you,'' I said. ''You are not disturbing me I swear. I just want to help,'' I said. ''Wow! Thank you so much!!! May God bless you!!!'' I exclaimed. ''Amen thank you. So what do you say?'' he asked me. ''Would your family or the people you live with agree with me to stay for the night?'' I asked him. ''There's literally no one there except for security. It's only me there,'' said Leonardo. ''So no girlfriend no wife?'' I asked him. ''No,'' he said, ''I don't have either of them. And even if I did...it would still not be a reason to help you,'' said Leonardo. ''Okay thank you yeah I would like to spend the night,'' I finally said. ''Okay. But before we go home, would you like to buy anything maybe food, clothes, or something?'' asked Leonardo. ''Oh yeah I would like to buy a few stuff if you don't mind,'' I said. ''No problem. It's cool with me. Let's go. Which mall?'' asked Leonardo. ''I don't know the malls here remember I just came here. So you know best. Choose the one that you think is good for me,'' I said. ''Oh yeah. Right. I have a few in mind,'' said Leonardo. 
So we went to the mall and I bought my stuff. We came back home and I offered to make dinner with Leonardo and he accepted and we did and ate. Then he went to show me my room. 
''So here it is your room,'' said Leonardo. ''Wait what??? Really?!!!'' I exclaimed. ''Yeah do you like it?'' asked Leonardo. ''Like it? I love it!'' I exclaimed, ''thank you so much,'' I said. ''No problem,'' said Leonardo. All this time Eleanor was listening to us and watching us. But Leonardo didn't know this of course I only knew. He was about to leave but then I pulled him back and hugged him and kissed him on the cheek. I was about to touch his hair but then he stopped me. ''What??? What was that for?'' he asked me. ''Oh I'm so sorry I went out of control,'' I smacked my head, ''I just wanted to thank you,'' I said. ''O-kay,'' he said unsure if he believes me . 
He then went out. Few minutes later I went to the living room to get some water to drink. Just then a phone started ringing it was his phone. I picked up I saw the name ''Madelyn'' who is she?
