Chapter One: Prologue


A nice, peaceful morning for Ashley did not seem pleasant as it looked. Most of her things were packed and ready to go for the trip, but that was only the beginning.

Everything in her mind was fogged with many things since her rescue by Leon off in Europe. Although she has grown feelings for him, and she has planned on telling him. But the agent of the U.S goverment has went on another mission, and Ashley missed her chance to do so.

The girl had a depression on her face, missing the agent, but that still not all that plagued her mind, as many things that happened during her salvation. The death of Luis Sera, a charming european that soon met his end to Saddler. The horrors of either being kidnapped by nature-defying fiends or being dead were gone, but still haunted her.

She sat on the concrete steps outside the large building called her home, as she was the daughter of the president of the United States, having a kind of living that anyone would do anything drastic just to have it.

In front of her, a black limo was placed, as butlers and chauffers packed her things into the trunk. One of the chauffers, Adam, was very loyal and respectful to Ashley and has never spoken to her into a unpleasant way.

"...I've never liked seeing Miss Ashley displeased. " Adams sighs in disappointment, as he was the closest one that she ever had to her. " She really must miss Mr. Kennedy."

The other chauffer, Javier, was a spiteful and grouchy man, whom behind her back spoken that Ashley was to be a weakling, having no courage for herself, saying to be pathetic. " Hmph. Just pitiful. I mean, look at her. Isn't that just sad ? " The blonde bowed her head in sorrow, feeding into the man's words. " Why is she obsessed with that man ? He's never gonna come back. Probably across the state on another mission." She felt her eyes heavying, trying poorly to fight back tears.

" Please, Javier. None of this is necassary. Especially in front of Miss Ashley." Adams spoken in the girl's defense, ignored by the other man.

" Listen to me. One day, that girl will have to face the truth. Leon is never going to come back." Javier glared at Adam, as nearby Ashley had tears slowly flowing down her face, Javier's word echoing in her head...

" He's never gonna come back...He's never gonna come back...He's never gonna come back..."

In silence, Ashley had snapped, taking no more of Javier's hatred. She stood up, walking over to the man. " You know, Javier. Luckily, you have to no longer see this weakling. You know why ? "

"...Umm...Uhh..." Javier tried to find an excuse, but it was too late to apology.

" Don't worry. I'll answer it for you." The girl softly spoken. " Javier, you're fired ! " The man gasped in shock, but then lowered his head in shame and walked away.

Ashley leaned on her back against the limo, tears resumed dripping down her face. Adams laid a comforting hand on her shoulder, coming to her aid.

"...Are you okay, Miss Ashley ? " The man spoke as the girl responded.

"...Yeah...I'm okay. "
