Leonor open her eyes feeling itchy with her eyeballs. She uses her hand to scratch her right eyelid. As the itchy feeling go away she open her eyes. " And you Leonor Furr take Carlo Kurt as your husband ....." The priest recite the words while reading the paper that he is holding.
Leonor have mixed emotions. The guy in front of her is looking at her eyes with confusion as if asking her to answer the priest's question. Leonor blinks twice and see the people who are sitting in the chairs.
Leonor realize she is now in the wide garden behind a mansion. She looks at lower part of her body and learn that she is wearing a bridal gown. " Are you okay my love? " The guy who seems to be her husband to be look at her with a worried expression.
Leonor was supposed to answer his question when the audience are now screaming because of gunshots coming from inside the mansion just behind them. The guy, her husband to be pulled her, and they hide behind the big sculpture in the fountain located in the center of the garden.
" Is this a movie ? Or a dream ? Because I promise everything seems realistic! " Leonor is breathing deeply because she cannot remember the last time that she have worked out feeling tired. She can hear heart beats going fast. " Are we going to die ? " Leonor asks like a child.
She peeks at the audience behind the big statue, and she is horrified at what she saw. Some men are coming from the mansion with guns in their hands. They are shooting everyone in the garden. Women and men without hesitation. Leonor closed her mouth with her palm realizing how serious the situation is.
" Can't believe they will find me this soon. " The guy beside Leonor uttered. She saw that he clenched his fist. She is confused, scared and shock.
Leonor can hear the people screaming then gunshots and then falling of the bodies. One woman is running and passed beside Leonor, but she was shot, then the water in the fountain became red.
The bridal gown of Leonor became red because of the water that is mixed with blood. ' Splashed! ' The body of the woman falls in front of Leonor and the water mixed with the blood splashed into her face.
As a person who is afraid of blood, she is traumatized. She is frozen. The bloody scene in front of her cannot be undone. Everything around her seems a slow motion in her point of view.
The man beside her is still peeking behind the big sculpture of the Lion. " If we will run now, we will end up like these people ..." He said with a surrendering tone. " Sh**! Why do I have to involved with these people! " The guy wanted to cry. But who will blame him ? He doesn't have a weapon to protect himself.
Later, the gunshots stop and everywhere became silent. Only the footsteps of the men who are now going to the direction of the fountain can be heard.
The men are wearing black shirts and jeans. With guns in their hands, they have completely surrounded the fountain that Leonor and her husband to be are hiding.
With a deep understanding of everything, Leonor is somewhat frozen. In her mind is the bloody scene that she had just seen.
The man beside Leonor kneel in surrender. He put his hands behind his head. " What do you want? " He said in a shaking tone. The two guys wearing a leather jacket speaks. " Should we wait for boss before we kill this cockroach? " The one with the bigger body said. The other guy scratches his head as if confuse what to do. " Ah here he comes! " The guy with the big body smiled upon seeing the person who is walking towards them.
Wearing a black tuxedo, neat hair , long eyelashes and natural skin tone. He is Luca, the leader of the group.
Luca is in front of the fountain looking the groom and wife to be. He put his hands in his pocket and rotate his head is if exercising.
" Being a traitor means death. " Luca said in a calm and devilish way. " If only I marry this bit** then I will be the next to inherit---" The guy is speaking but with a loud' bang' he was shot by the big guy beside Luca. " I am sorry it slipped! " The big guy said with his hands up as if killing the man beside Leonor is not important. Luca sighed.
Leonor is shaking upon seeing another victim beside her. She stares to Luca with no emotion accepting her fate and ready to be killed by them. In her opinion she is considered dead in this alive body. Luca walks in the fountain and go near her, in front of her.
This time Leonor don't care what will happen next, but she wanted to make sure to see who is her killer, so she stares directly into Luca's eyes. " Amusing. " Luca said still not removing his hands from his pocket. " Here we go again! " The big guy said knowing that this is not the first time that his boss said this word." She can be one of my collection." Luca said. " And there he goes... Collecting human toys..." The big guy said in disappointment.
The big guy gives a sign to the other men to get the woman and drag her to the car.
" Why are you wearing that anyway? " Anton who is the big guy and right hand of Luca asked in curiousity inside the car. " It was supposed to be a wedding. I plan to watch but you just came first with your violent plan. " Luca said. Anton sighed. " If they happen to be married , we will be in big trouble and you know that. " Anton said. " Do you think I didn't think of it? " Luca see Anton through the mirror in the front with a dark expression.
Luca goes down the car and did not even check on the other car where Leonor is located. A group of maid walk to the door to greet him lining up and created a way for him. Celia, the old woman who manages the maids smile to him as usual.
Luca continues to walk but remember about something, so he stopped in front of 'Nanay Celia'. " There is someone new to be added in my collection." He said in a clear manner. Nanay Celia, with her white hair and strict demeanor did not change her facial expression as she sighed. She is the only one whom Luca talk to and trust because she was his nanny the moment he was born. For her, Luca is still a child that she had taken care until today.
" This is the fifth one." Nanay Celia said with a calm tone that only Luca can hear. He did not answer but avoid her gaze, as if a child had been caught on being naughty. Understanding his attitude Nanay Celia did not question any further. Then she saw a woman being hold by two men in her both sides.
Nanay Celia signaled the two maids who help her with Leonor in the room to go out first. While helping the woman to walk, she observed that Leonor seems to be shaking and as if looking into the horizon not being herself.
Leonor is now sitting in the king-size bed like a mannequin and hug herself with her arms. Shaking her head and hide her face in her arms as if comforting herself. " It's not true... It's not true... It's only a dream..." She is whispering.
Nanay Celia prepared the bathtub for Leonor and make sure that it is warm for her. " Please help me. I want to get out of here! " Leonor is pleading Nanay Celia with desperation. " I know it is hard for you, but you will be used to it soon." Nanay Celia thought that Luca did something to her." No you don't understand me! I am not this! I don't know how it happened, but I just opened my eyes and in this body ! " Leonor see her reflection in the big mirror that is beside the bed. " Calm down ... " Nanay Celia thought that she is saying it in denial stage like the others. " Seeing that bloody scene cannot make me calm down! Have you seen those people who just died?!" She said shivering remembering it in her head. " I will be the next! I am sure he will kill me! Those people will kill me ! Or us ! They could kill us ! Quick! Let us escape from here! " Leonor is now holding Nanay Celia's arm and forcing her to go out.
" I am one of those guys..." Nanay Celia did not hesitate to tell the truth. Leonor paused and sit on the floor as if her spirit gone out of her body, her hope is now gone. " They will kill me once they are finished messing with me won't they?" She said in voice losing her hope.
Nanay Celia kneeled on Leonora's level and gently tap her shoulder trying to calm her. " Come on, let's take a bath first and remove this bloody dress out of you. " Nanay Celia said with a motherly tone. Without a word, Leonor slowly followed her in the bathroom. She let Nanay Celia undressed her as she followed all her instructions like a puppet.
Nanay Celia cannot ignore the bruises all over Leonor's body while she scrub her back in the bath tub like a child. The old lady took a liking to this girl from the moment she saw her. Maybe because she became a mother before, and it was all a mother instinct. " What happened to you? These bruises... What kind of torture did they do you ? " Nanay Celia is surprised. Leonor gently shakes her head" I told you, I am not her. I don't have any of her memory, so I don't know what exactly happen to her. " She said. " Then tell me, who are you then? " Nanay Celia wants to know who is she. " I am Leonor Furr. " She answered. " Exactly, you are her, and you are Leonor..." Nanay Celia explained. " I know you won't believe me because it is unbelievable. " Leonor said with a sad tone.
After the bath, a set of pajama is already ready in the bed. Nanay Celia did not leave Leonor until she is dressed. A maid put a tray of food in the table and then leave again. " I don't want to eat. " She said in a weak tone. Nanay Celia offered the chocolate milk just to fill her stomach knowing. Because of her insisting about it, Leonor drinks the whole cup of it. Later, she fell asleep like a little child.
It is already 6:00 in the evening when Nanay Celia go to Luca's room, seeing him putting an expensive suit she knew he had something important to attend to. " The poor girl is traumatized..." Nanay Celia said while helping him put the necktie. " They all do at first, nothing is new. Just wait a few days, and she will be begging for my attention. Or just wanting to live in this mansion as one of my toys. " Luca Sinn said with a confidence. " I cannot assure you about that, but I can feel that she's different. " Nanay Celia said and make sure to straighten those wrinkled parts of the suit in his shoulder. " Trust me nanay she's no different. Let's give her sometime. Now, just let me be happy to meet the princess." Luca is smiling while staring at his reflection. Nanay Celia smiled while seeing Luca being happy like a little boy.
" Ah here is he! " The old king hug Luca as he approached him. Luca did not bow and beside the king is his daughter who is considered as the most beautiful woman in the place.
Author :Yes guys, This book has a royal family and mafia. I have a deep thought about it until I decided to mix the both. So let's see what will become of it.
Luca looks at Princess Sadie's face with a gentle smile. She has a small gentle face that suits her title. In Luca's eyes, she is the most beautiful woman all over the place. Sadie is the only child of the king and is the heir to the throne.
" Sadie, make sure to take care of him. " The king said while going to the other guest. But when the king step away from both of them, Sadie's eyes became sharp and full of hatred. " Your presence is not needed here. " She said in a cold tone. " Such a lovely greeting from a lovely woman. " Luca is still smiling and ignoring her remarks like always. " Sometimes I wonder why do you hate me when I am such a lovely person?" His confidence is in a hundred level. Sadie's eyes narrowed. " How dare you to ask me that, you murderer." A tone of anger can be heard from her, but she cannot shout at the moment. " Who in the world will like you when you are killing innocent people just because they borrowed money from you. " She said. " And if I will just remind you that I am protecting the royal family. Thanks to me that you and you father still alive up today. Thanks to me that you are enjoying your luxurious life inside the castle with these golden cup and everything. Infact if it's not because of the money that I am donating in the castle, you cannot even afford to hire a maid. " Luca is smiling devilishly stating the fact. Sadie closed her palm because she knew that it is the truth.
The party is over and Luca have a private talk with the king. " Thank you for killing that bastard. " The king said while drinking his favorite wine. Luca who is not interested drinking alcohol is just watching him with awe thinking how could an old man like him be addicted with these kinds of things. " I heard that the woman is missing. " The old king said in suspicious. " Let me deal with her. " Luca said sensing his suspicious stare. " Oh? I have heard about it, about your human toys. I know you are such a person. But I am just curious how are they making you happy? What services are they giving to you ? " The old man is having dirty thoughts. Luca smile knowing he is not obligated to answer him. " Oh ! Is it the things that I have in mind? " The king nudge Luca's elbow with a wink. He just smiled.
While inside the car, Luca is silent than usual. " What do you think am I doing with my human toys Anton? " Luca suddenly ask. Anton who is driving almost stop. " Ha? " Anton manages to react. " The old man is curious about my human toys. Do you think he wanted to have it too? " He said being serious. Anton scratch his head not knowing to answer. " Those people from the palace have different mind from us, I don't really know what are they thinking. " Anton said. " They are like those things that we see and entertain us. What do we call again? " Luca is asking. " You mean those in carnival show? " Anton ask. " Right. " Luca snap his finger.
Leonor open her eyes with a headache. She helps herself in the sitting position and remembers the things that happened before she slept. She looks at her palm. " It is not a bloody dream. I am still in this place. " She speaks to herself. Nanay Celia open the door with a tray of food in her hands. " Good morning Leonor. Food is here, you better eat some food if you don't want to be starved and be more skinny than you already are. " Nanay Celia smile. Leonor resisted at first but she knows that she is starving at the moment.
Her mouth is watery upon smelling the food. And she did not care about anything for a foodie like her. Nanay Celia who is watching her is even shocked and later smile how she devour the whole tray. " I don't know what you like, so I just get some breakfast, lunch and dinner menu for this day. " Nanay Celia is smiling and happy upon seeing her enjoying the food. Then a knock on the door can be heard. Nanay Celia open it and a maid come to give a message to the newcomer. " The boss wants her in the shooting range." The maid said and leave upon saying the message. Nanay Celia nodded and sighed.
Leonor who just finished all the food heard it all and smile. " Maybe this is the way for me to go back. If this body dies maybe I can go back. " A smile can be seen on her face. Nanay Celia is worried about her but still she knew she cannot do anything about it if Luca was the one who decided.
Nanay Celia helped Leonor to choose decent clothes for her. She chooses a simple dress for her but still it looks elegant. " Are you sad? " Leonor cannot ignore the sadness in the old woman's eyes. " Just bear with it okay? " Nanay Celia said. " He is just a normal child once, but he became unpredictable and uncontrollable after that incident..." Nanay Celia said while gently shaking her head.
9:00 in the morning and the sweats all over Leonor's face cannot be hidden. She tightly closed her eyes every time Luca shoots in her direction.
In a wide place for shooting range, there is a four ladies and a man who has an apple above their head as a target of Luca. The four ladies including Leonor line up in a horizontal way and one arm apart from each other.
