They rode for thirty minutes more and slowed down in front of a familiar place that wasn't new to Leia. She took a deep breath and stepped down from the car with the bouquet in her hand.

Her eyes darted around, and a half-smile formed on her lips. She proceeded to walk into the cemetery before her, but Alex abruptly rushed up to her and stood in front of her, preventing her from moving any further. "Miss Leia, please just use the umbrella... He will kill me if you catch a cold." Alex smiled, with an anxious expression on his face.

Leia's brow creased, and an annoying mood emerged on her face. "I told you I don't need it!" She shoved Alex out of the way and walked into the cemetery. A deep breath escaped Alex's nose as he stared at her and his face grimaced in annoyance. He clicked his tongue and placed the umbrella over his head.

Leia ambled to her mother's grave and stood in front of it. Her eyes gazed down at the stone tablet that had her mum's name carved on it, and she squatted down to place the flowers on it. She stared at the tablet for a while, and the scenes of that day her mother got buried flashed in her mind. 

Her hands tightly balled into a fist, and she chuckled softly. Leia took a deep breath and knelt on the soggy ground. She bowed her head a few times and paid her respects to her mother. Since she was sold off, she hadn't gotten the chance to visit her mother's grave, and she was glad she did today. 

Not only that, but she was also able to come up with the beautiful lilies, which were her and her mum's favorite flowers. When she was young, her mum always said that her parents named her Lily because they believed she was as pure as a white Lily and, indeed, her mother was a white Lily.

A sad smile made its way to Leia's lips as she thought, and a soft sigh escaped her brims. She stood up from the wet ground after muttering a few words to her mother in her heart. She glanced up at the shady sky, and the rain dropped on her face, while some fell into her large eyes.

She wrapped her arms around her body and walked out of the cemetery. She ambled to a bench on the roadside and sat down, as her eyes watched the people passing nearby. Alex, who was beside the car, hurriedly rushed up to her and placed the umbrella above her head. "Please, Miss Leia, we need to leave now. The rain is getting heavier." He stared at her with a helpless expression on his face.

Leia raised her eye, which had a depressing emotion apparent in it, and glanced at him. A half-sad smile formed on her lips, and she slightly shook her head. "Just go... I will call you when I need you to come to pick me up."

"But Miss Leia, it's raining." A deep frown emerged on Alex's face as he adamantly shook his head. Why was she putting him in a difficult spot? He can't let her stay here in the rain. His Alpha will kill him if he does.

"You can give me the umbrella to keep the rain from falling on me." Leia smiled and took the umbrella from him. "Please... I need to be alone." She gazed at him with a pleading expression on her face.

Alex took a deep breath, and his face grimaced a little in helplessness. He gazed down at her and nodded, with a vulnerable mood on his face. "All right then, but please don't take too long to give me a call, unless you want to get me killed." He awkwardly smiled at her and, with a last nod of his head, he walked back to the car.

Leia watched the car drive off into the road, and she slowly dropped the umbrella onto the space beside her. She pulled out her AirPods from her pocket and plugged them into her ear, then connected them to her phone and immersed herself in sad music as the rain poured down on her.

Inside his office, Adrik gazed out the glass window with his hands yanked into his pocket as usual. His hair, which was usually left falling over his shoulder, was, however, wrapped up into a nice neat bun, with only a few strands falling over his face, which was covered in a mask. 

A low sigh left his lips, and with one last glance out of the window, he ambled back to his desk and sat down in his chair. He picked up his phone from the table and made a call to Alex. "Go and finish up the job right now, and report with all the files." 

[Yes, supreme Alpha]

Adrik dropped the phone on the desk and opened his laptop. He arranged the documents besides the laptop and placed them in the drawer.

....

The day went by extremely fast, and the sun fell, leaving dark clouds to envelope the sky. as the rain never showed a sign of stopping.

Adrik arrived at the mansion in his car and stepped down with an expressionless face. Once he stepped inside, he would make an apology to his little wife. Yes, she indeed did anger him, but he did go a little far with the way he behaved with her at that time. Ah... this temperament side of him is something he needs to start working on.

He took a deep breath and sauntered into the mansion with his hands yanked into his pocket. He went to the door of their room and slowly opened it. A soft sigh left his lips and he stepped inside the room.

He glanced around the area, then at the bed, but there was no sign of Leia anywhere. "Hmm." His brow creased, and he scurried down to the garden, but there was no sign of her there either.

A deep frown emerged on his face, and he instantly called for one of his maids, who reported immediately to him. He glanced down at the maid with a cold face and asked her about Leia's whereabouts, but she gave him a response that made his face darken.. She simply told him that Leia left early in the morning and hadn't returned since then.
