27 chapter 25

Leo was feeling restless the whole day. He didn't know what was wrong with him. He called home to his father many times to ask about her, but every time he answered that she didn't return home.

Leo grew worried. She was never irresponsible like this and she didn't even mention where she went. He tried calming down but couldn't. So, he decided to go for a long drive. He kicked his driver out of his car and started driving it aimlessly.

After a few hours, he noticed that he was in a forest. He wanted to turn around and leave but something in him prevented him from doing so. After few minutes, he saw a familiar figure walking in a daze, looking tired. His eyes filled with relief and he stopped the car near her but something was wrong with her... He could tell that. He stopped the car but still she didn't give attention to him. So, he had to honk his horn for getting her attention. The moment she turned to him, he shivered. She was covered in dirt and sweat.

She quickly sat in the passenger seat and gave him a small tight lipped smile, wondering how he was there but thanking God for sending him to her. They soon reached home and as soon as he came to the other side to open her door, like a true gentleman, she hugged him tightly, clutching his shirt, tears rolling down her eyes...

Leo became worried after feeling her tears but when she separated herself from him, seeing her smile was more than assuring for him. She scooped her in his arms and she squealed in surprise. Leo liked that sound and the worried and restless feeling was long gone...

The chief's men informed the chief that his daughter reached her home safely and he also exhaled a breath of relief...
