1 Coming home

At the International Airport of country G.

With a heavy breath Emilia sigh profoundly as she quietly hide herself inside the toilet meant for females.

That's after noticing that they were still pursuing her despite her successful escape from their hands.

She was supposed to be heading to the Star hotel where her engagement party was supposed to take place before she decided to escape.

Things were just fine until recently and until last night she had made up her mind to follow her dad's wish but....

" I'm so sorry Dad but I really can't do it...I thought I could but I just can't" She apologised silently while looking at her sweaty hands.

It was not easy for her in fact it had never been because despite all those years that had passed she still couldn't forget about it and she couldn't easily let go.

Her nightmare and misery she could not overcome them no matter what she did and though a long time has passed but still she wasn't able to get over it.

She thought she could do it when he asked of her to, she thought she could let it go and pretend like it was nothing but then she realised that she just couldn't and it was getting worse day by day and until she could not take it anymore. 

" Forgive me Dad" Emily mumbled softly thinking about her plan B after she failed to escape.

There was a lot of searching in the check points and a group of men in black suits who looked like professional bodyguards seem to be looking for someone.

But not far from the arrivals' side a man in black suit wearing a white shirt within but without a tie made an entrance while another guy was tailing from behind.

Taking a deep breath Leonard looked around the familiar yet very foreign place.

This was supposed to be his home country where he was born yet he had but very little memory about it.

Leonard who had just landed from his plane was walking his way in this airport exactly how he had board it eighteen years ago, at the thought of it his mind drifted to that day.

when he had tried a lot to beg his father not to take him away.

--------

" I didn't do it... believe me father" Leonard beg his cold father continuously to no avail.

The man seem adamant to get rid of him, he had already arranged for him to live abroad and spend the rest of his life there.

The seven years old boy watched his father drag him into the plane and leave him all alone, he didn't even bid him goodbye like any parent separating from his child would do and when he turned around to leave he didn't even look back and he never did.

For some reasons Leon knew that his father was not that fond of him compare to his other siblings.

Despite having resemble him a lot, Leonard who had his black hairs, well defined facial features pointy nose, thick eyebrows and was all tall just like him in fact people used to say that he was like his twin but compare to other children who resemble their mother's dark brown hairs and features Leon was a bit different,

that is Leonard had black hairs and blue eyes contrast to the brown hairs and black eyes of the Brown family.

Coming back from his thoughts Leonard looked at his assistant who was busy carrying his luggages in a lazy manner that he frown.

" what will happen if your father find out that you are here?" Henry, his assistant, a friend and like a brother asked, he seem more worried than the latter.

" Then he will... what can I do about it" Leon said nonchalantly as he slowly find his way to the exit area.

Taking in the fresh air with a warm look he said more like mumbling to himself.

" It has been eighteen years since I last came here things have changed a lot" Leon said calmly then looked around while waiting for his transport to arrive.

TIME PASSED. 

Looking at his watch he noticed that it was getting late, what happened to the one who was supposed to get him?, he thought inwardly. 

" It looks like we have to take a cab" Leon told Henry who immediately frown over the idea.

But just then luckily the Airport cab arrived but before he could open the door someone beat him to it as she immediately enter the car while he watch dumbfounded, she looked desperate so in hurry she apologized softly before closing the door.

Her desperate voice could be heard as she instruct the driver to take off.

" What with all the hurry?" Leon mumbled softly as he was very surprised with the young lady's impatience.

Letting out a tired sigh he turned around to look for another car but just then his eyes caught sight of something.

Great! she just had to drop her purse in his presence, Leonard thought inwardly before he bend down to take the purse and being the gentleman he was, he knew it was another journey to find the owner who just took off.

He looked at Henry who was already tired with all the luggages in his hands but from the look of it he knew his boss was up to another mission.

" You take the luggages home first I will catch up with you later" Leon said as he got into another cab that had just arrived.

" What! don't tell me you are going to look for the owner?" Henry asked the obvious looking at the man who already board the car.

" I can't help it..." He said with raised shoulders and before Henry could say anything else the car left.

To that Henry only gave out a tired sigh before helplessly hopping into another car with his luggages.

But then not far from where they were standing, a man in his formal black suit was seen, he seem to be around his early fifties or late forties and his eyes were sneakily looking at them since they arrived.

Leaning on his car he took out his phone and dial a number and after a few rings the phone got connected and a man's voice was heard from the other side

" Hello..."

" He is back" the man said briefly his eyes still focused on the car that was leaving.
