Chereads / The Last Heiress Uncharted / Chapter 19 - Chapter Eighteen: Search Party

Chapter 19 - Chapter Eighteen: Search Party

"Where the hell is my son?!" Xavier barked out like a mad dog, his son had been missing for quite sometime, originally, Xavier won't have minded that, but... His son was king!

Xavier marched down, straight to the meeting room, ignoring all the looks and stares of his maids and subjects. He opened the door of the meeting room widely in an aggressive manner, his eyebrows knotted as he strode down to the centre of the room.

"I demand answers!" He boomed in a strong voice, letting everyone know how angry he was, in the room sat; Leonard, V, Fernand and a few others Xavier wasn't bothered to acknowledge.

"Can you just sit down with us and have a talk? We have a theory about what happened and we need all the man power we can get!" Commander V spoke loudly enough to defy Xavier.

Xavier wasn't alarmed by how superior she was to him he was not alarmed by his missing son but instead, by his reputation. What was to become of his image?

Sure it was bad but he didn't want it to be damaged.

He let out a deep breath and sat down amongst the other leaders.

"We have one problem.

Draken.

"

V concluded.

They looked at each other as they stopped at the middle of the rooftop. Leah looked at him intently and he looked back.

He smiled and took her hand in his and kissed it. "You seriously don't remember me?" He asked her with a curious tone at the edge of his question.

Only then alone did she understand who he truly was. Someone of her past, god just blessed her with.

"Jun-seo?" She asked softly the man in front of her just nodded, she didn't need any more words to help her clarify who he was, she already knew.

-----FLASHBACK-----

(a/n: this is a very cute and heart warming flashback, like and leave a review if you love this book please!)

The rain was a heavy one, the sun looked like it was depressed and it's youthful glow was nowhere to be seen, Leah was just under the shade of the bus stop, barely shielding the rain from her body.

Her skirt flayed and flowed and she was struggling to keep it down, her uniform had already been drenched, she couldn't complain about her parents not picking her up yet.

"Uhm hello!" A voice of teenage boy could be heard amidst all the heavy rain. Leah didn't turn to look at him, fearing he will partake in bullying her as all the other students do.

The boy approached her and she still faced forward. Her timid behaviour couldn't let her look at him.

"Miss, you left your book." The boy spoke and only then did Leah realise what kind of book he meant.

She looked at the old torn up book in the boy's hands, her diary.

"You read it didn't you?" She asked.

"Yes I did miss, I'm sorry for intruding but I noticed you always looked so gloomy during classes and now I know why, I'm sorry about all the pain this school has put you through.... Uhm If your ride isn't here yet, you can stop at my place for some hot noodles. That is, if you'd like!"

The boy spoke with such a soft voice. His handsome face matched with his beautiful personality made Leah to like this boy, she was quite aware that her parents weren't going to pick her up anytime soon.

"Sure! I was.. getting a bit brrr cold" she replied. The boy put out his right hand to her and his umbrella in the other.

"Do you mind?" He asked in a soft voice.

"Let's go" she put her hand in his.

....

And so it happened, everyday from that day on they were inseparable, wherever Leah was Jun-seo follows. Until...

"I love him and you can't tell me otherwise!" She screamed at her best friend.

"You don't love him Leah! Because he's only going to use you, seriously? You want to move in with him?! Why couldn't you just pick someone else?" Jun-seo replied in an equally high voice.

"Oh really? Someone like who?" She asked.

"Someone like me! I love you Leah, I always have, even when you don't love me back I love you, so much, so freaking much!"

"Your love is fake!"

"Then I probably should have told you this, I'm moving away to Japan for my studies, I didn't want to tell you so you'll be sad, but since you already hate me I guess this is goodbye!"

"Fine"

"Fine!" He said and with that he shut the door and left her alone to make the worst mistake of her life.

-----FLASHBACK ENDs

Leah looked into his eyes and tears started forming in her eyes as she hugged him ever so tightly.

"You let me make the worst mistake of my life... Why?"

"Because if I had stayed I would have watched you suffer, and I don't want you to suffer. I love you more than that."

She embraced him as a mysterious figure was hiding in the darkness, observing.

And with that the figure took a picture.

*Click* the camera shuttered and another click once more.

He just captured the famous Jun-seo doing an act his wife won't be the least happy about.

This chapter ended early because it would have been too confusing to add another storyline as you might not understand it, but I assure you, the next chapter is going to be a treat.
