Leaning her head against the wall, Leonica stared up at the ceiling, counting the minutes in her head. It had been approximately an hour since she got here and there was still no sign of Chief Robert.She sighed. Perhaps she shouldn't have put her safety in his hands. She wasn't even sure how smart he was, she had simply trusted him."You're regretting it, aren't you?" Her mother's voice had her glancing her way."What?""Coming here?" Cassandra clarified as she sat beside her daughter.Leonica shook her head. "I regret nothing." She smiled and pulled her mother closer. "We're going to get out of this, and we're going to bring her down. I promise."Cassandra nodded and hugged her daughter, a soft smile gracing her lips. If her daughter wasn't willing to regret, neither would she."I hope the police find us soon." She sighed. "I hope your father finds us soon." She added.Leonica chuckled. "They will."Her mother mirrored her smile, taking her finger which had her engagement ring on it
"Are you sure this is the place?" Chief Robert asked as he examined the building in front of him with his hands on his hips."Yup," Candace came up behind him, holding her laptop in one hand, while she typed with the other. "According to the tracker, Ms. Leonica Romero should be here, but," She looked up from her laptop at the building and her face scrunched up in confusion. "This place looks too...dead."Robert nodded, agreeing with his partner. The building in front of them looked abandoned, no movement of any sort and it had a very dead aura around it.It looked like that one house straight out of a horror movie.Scary and pretty dead looking, but he couldn't continue standing here. If Leonica Romero was indeed in there, she could be hurt.The sound of his phone ringing had Robert looking away from the building. He glanced at his phone, seeing that it was the rest of his team calling."Report." He said as soon as the phone was pressed against his ear."Sir, we managed to discuss th
"Where the hell have you been?" Was the first thing Leonica was greeted with when she walked into her house, followed by Owen's worried face. "Eight hours, fifty three missed calls and its just now you're showing up.""I'm so sorry Owen. I went to the church to meet with Florence but then Irene called and-"Her explanation was cut short when Owen came in front of her and grabbed her chin, eyes darkening at the sight of a bruise on her cheek."Who did this?""Owen-""I said who did this to you?" He repeated and she sighed."Irene.""Your half sister?" Owen spat and Leonica nodded."She's the one that kidnapped mom, but don't worry, I was able to rescue her.""Rescue her?" Owen mumbled, it even sure where to start tackling Leonica from the explanation she had just given him.She was late because she went to rescue her mother from the clutches of her half sister and she also got the bruise on her face whilst doing that.Which meant he had no route to tackle her from.Deciding to leave it
The next few days were more peace and quiet, for Leonica, than she could have bargained for.There were no crazy spy watching her every move, no half sisters trying to kidnap her or ruin her life, no ex husband trying to win her over and the only thing she had to worry about was Ashley's condition. But even that had shown to have improved a bit during their last visit.It was all perfect."You're awfully chipper this morning," Owen noted as they both stood in front of the mirror, fixing their outfits.As per to reward herself for how well she had done so far, Leonica had decided to go all out, planning a whole day's date with Owen."Why shouldn't I be." She responded happily, already in love with her own idea.Getting to spend the entire day with Owen while Ashley hung out with Anastasia and regrettably, Lloyd.She still wasn't sure what those two were doing together."My life's finally sailing smoothly and I'm even going on a date with my Fiancé, today." Leonica said as she finished
Ekeberg Park was one of the most beautiful parks in Oslo. It was full of flowers and trees and a very nice and relaxing place, perfect for a stroll. A sight that Owen was stunned to see when Leonica, half an hour later, pulled him out of the ice rink.“This is beautiful,” Owen said as he continued admiring the scenery while Leonica lead him by the hand, taking him towards the spot she had prepared specially for them.“I’m glad you like it.” She said and he turned to look at her, a wide smile on his face.“So where are we headed to?”“To the gazebo, right over there.” She pointed and Owen nodded.“Alright.”They continued their walk and soon, the gazebo came into view.It was a small white gazebo with a table in the middle and two seats. On the table was a basket filled with goodies, including wine and food.“Here we are,” Leonica said as she walked up the stairs and towards the table, Owen following close behind.“This is amazing,” He stated and Leonica smiled. “You did all this?”“Of
Leonica woke up first the next morning, feeling refreshed despite the small ache in her lower back. She rolled over to find Owen still fast asleep, snoring softly and she couldn’t help but smile.He looked so peaceful and cute, she thought, wondering if she should find her phone and take a picture of his sleeping face.However, after staring at him for a few more minutes, occasionally playing with the strands of his hair that had fallen out of place, she decided against the idea.There was no need to take a picture of him when she had him to herself for the rest of her life.Deciding to let him sleep in, she slowly and carefully slipped out of the bed and tiptoed her way to the bathroom, hoping not to wake him.After taking a quick shower and throwing on one of his shirts that she dimmed befitting, she walked downstairs to the kitchen and prepared a cup of coffee for herself.Patiently, she waited for her beverage to be ready, tapping her fingers against the kitchen island all the whi
“Irene Rosewood did what?!” Robert was off his seat in seconds, staring at his partner like he had just received a news equal to his death.But it was, because he knew if Benjamin Romero were to catch wind of this, he could kiss not only his position goodbye, but his entire life in Oslo.“The hospital said she slipped away during one of her examinations. They’ve searched the entire building and haven’t found her.”Robert rubbed his temples and groaned, his face scrunching up in frustration.“Where was security?! How could they have allowed her escape?”“Well, it happened while she was in the restroom. They suspect that she most have slipped out one of the windows.”Robert groaned once again. This was bad, like real bad.“What should we do, chief?” Candace asked. “Should we alert the Romero family just in case?”“And lose your fucking job?” He chuckled. “Don’t be naïve Candace. We’re going to handle this in a more quiet way, starting by putting out an APB. I want this entire town searc
The moment Owen heard the line go dead, a sense of dread filled him. He quickly tried to recall her, but much for his dismay, his call went to voice mail.“The user you’re trying to reach is currently not available. Please try again-“ He ended the call before the automated voice could complete it’s words.He had a very bad feeling.He tried calling her once more, but his call went to voicemail again.The next time he tried to make a call, he called Cassandra instead. Steading his voice as he heard the phone ring, Owen reminded himself to be as subtle and calm as possible. Because for all he knew, Leonica could have possibly butt texted him her location and then ended up dropping her phone, cracking the entire thing.Yeah, that sounded like it, he thought, but deep down, he knew Leonica’s voice when she wa relaxed and when she was anxious and on edge and her voice a few minutes ago had clearly sounded like she was anxious and on edge.“Hello?” The sound of Cassandra’s voice pulled him
