" It's weird. Because she doesn't recognize her parents' graveyard. I need full details. Make sure no single information about them becomes unseen!" Hanging up, Vasquez puts the phone aside and looks at the email, that his friend sent him. In the early morning, They returned from the beach. Today is Leona's first day of her new school, he didn't want her to be late. Her exam is knocking on the door. She has to attend the mock test too. He doesn't want to delay her education. As he concentrates on the email, his thick eyebrows clutch, poking his inner cheek with his tongue, he straightens his back with a distinct annoyance on his face." What the hell did she do behind me? Where did she get those tests? There is no record of any hospital in this prescription!" Rubbing his temple, he kept staring at the screen until he decided to ask her himself. Since he is her guardian, she must know that he is the one who will decide her situation.Anyway, his attention goes to his assistant who r
Vasquez's eyes narrow as he looks at the lunch box. The scent of the warm food hits his nostrils, encouraging his appetite to eat them. However, a wave of guilt keeps him bothered. Being defeated by his subconsciousness, he dials the number of the principal where she will study. Before that, not to miss the chance to taste her food, he picks the meatball. " Mr. Vasquez! It's a great surprise for me to -"" Did Leona Belle reach at school?" He questioned in a cold voice not quite interested in some sweet talking. But his eyes wide open, goes on the food, staring at it profoundly. He didn't expect that the food would be perfect and suit his taste. " She..." Although the silence is speaking out of his hesitation, he tries to hide... " Yes. She came. And -"" Don't lie. Check if she is there or not!" The principal nods instantly, opening the CCTV monitor. However, his face turns pale when he notices that the seat of Leona is empty." I am sorry for earlier. But seems like Ms. Leona i
The fingers on his temple never leave as he keeps rubbing while driving to nowhere. Vasquez informs the school that she is missing. Her workplaces and Her mother. However, Her mother stays silent in this matter as she doesn't want to get caught by Leona until she pays off the bill.Not understanding the situation that Leona is going through, she is quite concerned about her looks and the money for her loan. Additionally, she has given all of her rights to Vasquez. So she doesn't want to have a headache thinking about Leona overall.At the same time, Aaron is sipping coffee in the lobby of Vasquez's company. An employee places the tray with some fruit.As she attempts to leave after excusing herself, Aaron puts the cup down and stops her." How is Vasquez doing recently?" The female employee turns as if she knows he will ask her that question. She walks, approaching him while keeping her distance. " Grandma Peter is gone, Master Victor!" Aaron's eyes widened, and he stood up. " Wha
" Do you think I am here, playing a game with you?" The cold stare of his summons chills down the doctor's spine. Their skin crawls underneath when his sharp gaze sweeps over them as if he is scanning them digging a hole in their brains. Just now, a group of people wearing black and they, leading a person who has the puissant authority to break in without any permission. His appearance shakes the people around him, and the serious expression on his face looks way too dangerous to approach. Although the Guards tried their best to stop, in front of the top ten world-class bodyguards, they found themselves like ants. " Please, try to understand. It's an emergency Surgery. You can't do anything."" Emergency! You say!" He snorted. Pushing the doctor who was blocking the door, Vasquez didn't waste another second to reach out to the door. However, everyone frowns when the surgeons open the door in the middle of the surgery. The expression on their face isn't something positive." Stop
" Auntie!" Closing her eyes while resting her head on the edge of the bathtub, she called Madam Anne who was gently scrubbing her skin. The steam of the warm water is bubbling up in the bathroom. Her nonchalant stare at the ceiling somehow stings like a pricking thorn in her heart." Yes, Young Lady!" Responding, she wipes her around the bandage, carefully doing everything so that the wound doesn't come near to the water." Can you cut my hair? They are so heavy." Madam Anne's eyes go on her, the distinct expression of sympathy is understandable. But, shockingly, she asked for a cut. Today, when she was getting ready for school. She said she loves her hair the most. The only thing she is proud of." Why? Lady! Your hair is beautiful. Not everyone gets blessed with such beautiful hair!"She said trying not to do what she wanted to do." Blessed? What can I do with these blessings when I am too tired to carry the heaviness on my shoulder? I don't need this. Please cut them off."Dete
" Young Master!" Vasquez's eyelids part away with a soft groan as he wakes up. His hands reach out to the low glass table to find something. But Butler holds his hands before him." Your glasses!" Vasquez sighs, rubbing his eyes before wearing them. Fixing his pajamas, he looks around and finds himself in the hall room. Realization hits his senses, reminding him that he didn't go to his room last night." How is she? Did anything trouble her at night?" Standing up, he asks the butler about Leona." She had a fever at late night. But Madam Vina was next to her. Now she is sleeping!" " Good then. I have to go to my company. Keep her safe. Don't let her get out for a while. And..." He takes his phone to check the time." Get everything Whatever she wants. Don't let her stay alone. Don't let everyone gather around her as well. Just keep a close eye on her. If she asks about school or something. Tell her that she can go next week!"Instructing everything in a hurry, he walks to leave.
At afternoon...Madam Vina enters Leona's room with a glass of milkshake. A sigh rolls out of her tongue, watching Leona standing in front of the mirror. Her stare at the reflection of herself is blank, lifeless, and motionless. It hurts everyone in this house that a bright girl like her changes into an empty, lonely person." Young Miss! I brought your milkshake!" Leona's eyes go to Vina's reflection. Watching her placing the glass on the table, she turns." Your homeroom teacher called and told me that you can join your class next week and your club activities will start next week as well."Gently letting her sit down on the edge of the bed, Vina holds the comb and brushes her hair. " Butler brought your schedule for dance activity. Your dancing teacher will be here next week as well. So, get recovered soon!"While informing her everything, Vina gives her entire love and care for the girl who is sitting with no expression. Seeing Leona not responding to her words, She sighs deepl
A gasp escapes from her when the light hits her eyelids. Feeling a ticklish sensation in her lips, her tongue runs over her bottom lip. As she does, the taste of ointment wakes up finally. Her eyelids part away lazily, has no motivation to get up. Her attention goes to a long shadow which is walking here and there, doing something in her room.Getting up, she finds Vasquez placing her books, a vase with some hydrangea and a tray with some cupcakes and cookies. His attention is still yet to drive to her. Minding his own business, he is removing the curtains from the window, letting the wind run in. His face looks calmer than usual. She can feel that the frown between his thick eyebrows is evidence of some troubles that he is going through. Not moving at all, she keeps watching him, making the room perfect. She has been closing all the windows and doors, so sunlight didn't come. It felt stuffy but she didn't care. Now, her eyes find peace to see the room cosy and airy. Vasquez probabl
