After dropping Laura off at home and making sure Paul and Maurice were alright, Maximus went to pick up Diana. He had just remembered he had an early meeting the next morning, and after that, he planned to return to help Celeste.

The drive was quiet, which caught Diana’s attention.

“Maximus… what’s wrong? You seem off,” she asked, concerned.

“Tomorrow, I’m going to the prison where Leonardo was, Maximus said carefully,

“Why? Did he finally decide to tell you something about Peter’s mother?” Diana asked hesitantly.

“No… While we were waiting for Peter to arrive with Celeste and the babies today, I got a call from the prison,” he said, still trying to process the news.

“Did something happen?” Diana asked, unsure if she should be asking.

“Yeah… Apparently, there was a fight that turned into a full–blown riot. Leonardo was seriously injured, and… they confirmed he died,” Maximus said, as if the truth were a heavy burden.

“Oh… I’m sorry,” Diana said, understanding that this wasn’t easy for him either.

“I didn’t want to ruin the moment, so I didn’t say anything. Tomorrow, I have to go identify the body,” Maximus confessed, clearly conflicted.

“God… this must be really hard for you,” Diana said, noticing the tension on his face.

“I’m angry… you know? He’s gone, and he never told me where Peter’s mother is. He took that secret to the grave, “Maximus said, frustration evident in his voice.

“I’m really sorry, but Maximus, this is something that’s eating away at you. Have you noticed that Peter hasn’t even asked about it?” Diana pointed out, trying to ease his burden.

“Yeah, but after everything he’s done for us, I felt like this was the least I could do for him… and I couldn’t even get that,” Maximus said heavily.
