Back at the boutique, Rose held up a soft, worn leather jacket, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
"This is perfect for you, my dear. It's got a vintage feel but it's still stylish and practical."
Leticia ran her fingers over the smooth leather, admiring the craftsmanship. It was indeed a beautiful piece, and it would serve her well on her journey.
"I'll take it," she said decisively.
Rose beamed, pleased with her choice.
"And what about some jeans to go with it? I have a pair that I think would suit you beautifully."
She rummaged through a nearby rack and pulled out a pair of dark blue, ripped jeans.
Back at imperial villa
Leonardo clenched his jaw where are you? Why didn't you tell him you are in pain? We already tracked down the routes the airship took that day. From the moment Leticia visited the airship lab to the engagement she didn't go out much and she isn't the type to make friends easily. Yet airship changed its predetermined course to head north instead. We thought we understood but it felt like Leticia disappearance was just a moment and she was gone no matter how far one looks they can't find her.
"Was your intention to make me go insane?" Leonardo hissed out.
Meanwhile, back in Aquilai Town, Leticia tried on the jeans Rose had suggested. They fit her perfectly, hugging her curves in all the right places. She paired them with a simple white tshirt and the leather jacket, feeling a sense of satisfaction at her new look.
"Well, don't you look stunning?" Rose exclaimed as Leticia stepped out of the fitting room.
Leticia smiled gratefully.
"I can't thank you enough, Rose. These clothes are perfect."
Rose waved her hand dismissively.
"Nonsense, dear. It's my pleasure. You have a natural sense of style that's rare to find."
As Leticia paid for her purchases and gathered her things, she felt a sense of excitement building within her. She was one step closer to starting a new life, away from the expectations and pressures of her old one.
Imperial Villa
Leonardo tapped his finger on the table. Even though Leticia has tried to hide in situations she has always been like a lonely soul. She was serene and emotionless that is why every time he saw Madam Morgan and Master Quinn are both foolish. They don't see how beautiful Leticia and how smart she is. Leonardo thought he could be the one who saves her hides her from the darkness, he wanted to show only gentleness to her he will never show her his darkness his obsession and possessiveness over her he only wants her to be happy and see only light.
"But you disappeared. I feel like I being stabbed in the heart. I am about to lose my mind."
There is no way that Leticia will return to that place if she made this plan she made sure it was clean and not leaving a single trace.
At the Princeton Estate it was also in chaos.
"Where the hell is she!" Morgan shouted. Amelia crossed her arms damn it that bitch knows how to take the spotlight not only was she kissed by the ninth prince which made Amelia jealous but she pulled this!?
Morgan chewed on her nail damn it! The engagement between Amelia and the ninth prince if it was that child her daughter won't have to marry that cold blooded prince who is ruthless since his return he has not hesitated to fight or kill people. Amelia is innocent and wants a simple wealthy life she will give her that damn it Leticia you fucking bitch! She truly finally ruined everything. There is only one month left before the wedding he can't allow Amelia to marry the ninth prince.
"Two weeks," Morgan said as she smiled and wrote a email.
Your Highness,
The ladies within our Princeton Household have yet disappeared. They are living well, Amelia is currently resting due to poor health. We would like to offer an apology for this happening right after the engagement day
Sincerely Princeton Household
Amelia walked inside her mother office and Morgan waved the servants off and she opened her arms and Amelia rushed inside her mother arms. She loves being a wealthy pampered young lady.
"Mother will you find Leticia? Would she be okay?" Amelia asked honestly if Leticia died she would not care.
"Sigh don't worry when she returns she will be fearlessly punished as for her room I told the servants to put her things in the room you stayed on you will move into her room since it was meant for you anyway," Morgan said.
"Don't worry about it," Lily said to Amelia.
"Really sister but I am..l…"
"Don't worry to much," Jason said as he crossed his arms everyone believed that she won't make it in the outside world.
Butler Jenkins walked inside Leonardo office.
"Your highness letter from the Princeton."
"Uncle Jenkins, hehe is this the excuse they can give me about my beloved?" Leonardo said as he clenched the letter. So want to cover the eyes of gods do you think his ruthless is has no bounds? Since his beloved isn't here he can be as ruthless and cruel as he want.
Leonardo's eyes narrowed as he read the letter, his grip tightening on the paper until it crinkled. His beloved Leticia, the woman he had been waiting for, was gone without a trace. And now, the Princeton household dared to send him a halfhearted apology?
He crumpled the letter in his fist, his face twisting into a snarl.
"Uncle Jenkins," he said, his voice low and dangerous.
"Yes, Your Highness?"
"I want you to gather our most skilled trackers and assassins. I don't care what it takes, but I want Leticia found. Alive."
Jenkins nodded solemnly.
"It will be done, Your Highness."
As Jenkins left the room, Leonardo stood up abruptly, knocking over his chair. He paced back and forth, his mind racing with thoughts of revenge and retribution.
"You think you can hide her from me?" he muttered to himself. Leonardo was gentle when he thought about Leticia he can never be cruel when it comes to Leticia after she is his light.
Leticia woke up to the gentle sound of waves crashing against the shore, the salty breeze drifting through her open window. She stretched lazily, feeling more rested than she had in years. The simple life in Aquilai Town was exactly what she needed.
She got out of bed and walked over to the window, gazing out at the beautiful ocean view. The sun was just beginning to rise, casting a warm glow over the water. Leticia took a deep breath, inhaling the fresh sea air.
Suddenly, she heard a knock at her door. She turned around, surprised to see Mrs. Baker standing there with a tray of food.
"Good morning, sweetheart!" Mrs. Baker exclaimed cheerfully. Tun Tun pounced the food and devoured it and Leticia smiled its so quiet and peaceful this is the life she felt so happy she clenched her hands together hehe this is wonderful now she doesn't have to worry much about the world! She is Leticia and she doesn't need to act for anyone. No shouting from Princeton Family, no disgusting sweet talks from people who try to carry favors. Leticia liked this feelings the sea the quietness the wonderful life so beautiful!
Star City
"Where the fuck as she gone!" Morgan shouted. She thought Leticia would return after two weeks but that girl has not yet returned at all! We have been secretly looking for Leticia but even the best hackers are unable to see anything we even hired the Cyber Rose Shadow Alliance team to find her but the refused saying the big boss doesn't want to be troubled!? But countless of people are coming for Leticia asking where is for the businesses. For now let's handle the airship.
The servants sighed as they walked off.
"I always known that Lady Leticia would one day leave if I was her I would left long time ago."
"I know right?"
🪷🪷🪷
"Why haven't you find her!" Leonardo asked his best trackers across the world. These people are trained by him and went through cruel training yet they are useless on finding his beloved! Leonardo took a deep breath. You told him to do nothing, Leticia why must you always carry everything alone? Did you plan this to leave him like this like a fool? But he didn't even notice truly you learned from the best huh. A memory back popped up when he was training with his father how he wanted to wedding to be moved up.
