Chapter 3 - Chapter 3 {Beautiful One}

Nurse Bella quickly turned off the water and rushed to Leticia's side, wrapping a towel around her trembling shoulders.

"It's okay, it's okay," she soothed, trying to calm the frightened girl.

"I'm sorry, I should have explained what a shower is before turning it on."

Leticia clung to Nurse Bella, her crimson eyes wide with fear. The sudden rush of water had startled her deeply, and she was now shaking uncontrollably.

"It's too loud... too wet..." she whimpered, burying her face in the nurse's chest.

Victor and Fifth Young Master heard the scream from outside the bathroom. Without hesitation, Fifth Young Master pushed open the door and entered, his piercing gaze scanning the room until it landed on Leticia.

"What happened?" he demanded coldly. Before Victor can come in he kicked the door shut and pushed the nurse away and helped the little lady wash up.

After Leticia was washed up she blinked innocent and smiled ever so brightly at Fifth Young Master who clenched his jaw he did not sign up to take care of 17 to 18 year old who has a child like mind.

Fifth Young Master's expression was a mix of annoyance and concern as he helped Leticia dry off. He couldn't believe he was reduced to playing nursemaid to this innocent, clueless girl.

"There, all clean," he muttered, wrapping a towel around her waist.

Leticia beamed at him, her earlier fear forgotten. She reached up and patted his cheek affectionately.

"You're so nice, Fifth Young Master!" she exclaimed happily.

Fifth Young Master's jaw clenched tighter at the innocent gesture. He gently but firmly removed her hand from his face.

"Let's get you dressed," he said gruffly, turning away to grab a set of clothes Nurse Bella had laid out.

As he helped Leticia into a simple dress, Fifth Young Master couldn't shake off the feeling that there was something deeply unusual about this girl. Her healing abilities, her otherworldly beauty, and now her childlike innocence it all added up to a mystery he was determined to solve.

Fifth Young Master's jaw clenched as he looked at Leticia's innocent smile, a mixture of frustration and something else flickering in his eyes. He handed her a towel, his movements stiff and reluctant.

"You're clean now," he said curtly. "Get dressed."

Leticia nodded obediently, taking the towel from him. As she dried herself off, she hummed softly, seemingly unbothered by Fifth Young Master's cold demeanor. She slipped on the clothes Nurse Bella had laid out for her a simple white dress that hugged her curves perfectly.

Once dressed, Leticia twirled around, the skirt of her dress fluttering around her legs. She looked up at Fifth Young Master with those captivating crimson eyes.

"I'm ready!" she announced happily.

Fifth Young Master sighed heavily, pinching the bridge of his nose. He gestured for Leticia to follow him out of the bathroom.

"We're leaving," he said gruffly.

"You'll stay with me until we figure out who you are and where you came from."

Leticia's face lit up with joy at the prospect of staying with Fifth Young Master. Fifth Young Master rubbed his temples.

"Cousin maybe she should stay?"

"No need," Fifth Young Master said with her innocent and being so naive he feared she would follow kidnapper. It was still raining outside, Leticia held her hand out.

"What is your name?" Fifth Young Master asked.

"My name is…"

Leticia hesitated for a moment, her brow furrowing as she tried to recall her name. It was as if the answer was just out of reach, hovering on the tip of her tongue.

"My name is..." she repeated, frustration creeping into her voice. Suddenly, her eyes widened, and a bright smile spread across her face.

"Leticia!" she exclaimed triumphantly.

"My name is Leticia Valerius!"

Fifth Young Master nodded curtly, satisfied with the information. He turned to leave the hospital room, expecting Leticia to follow.

"Come on," he said over his shoulder.

"I'll take you to my mansion."

Leticia skipped after him eagerly, her long silver hair bouncing with each step. As they got inside the BMW Leticia eyes sparked as she saw sweets in front of her.

Leticia's eyes widened with delight as she spotted the sweets on the car seat. Without hesitation, she reached out and grabbed a handful, popping them into her mouth.

"Mmm!" she mumbled around the treats, her cheeks bulging like a squirrel's. Fifth Young Master watched her in disbelief, his expression a mix of annoyance and amusement.

"Are you always this impulsive?" he asked dryly.

Leticia swallowed her mouthful of sweets and grinned at him innocently.

"I like sweets," she said simply, as if that explained everything.

Fifth Young Master shook his head and turned his attention back to the road. The rain was coming down harder now, pounding against the car windows.

"We will get you Union ID," Fifth Young Master said.

"Union ID?" Leticia asked she slightly frowned but she felt something but nothing came in mind so she shrugged it off and she happily nodded her head whatever Fifth Young Master says is right she mind up her mind just like that! In her mind being next to the beautiful one is safer!

As the BMW pulled up to the Reinholt mansion, Leticia's eyes widened in awe. The grand estate was even more magnificent than she had imagined, with its towering walls and sprawling gardens.

"Wow!" she breathed, pressing her nose against the window. Fifth Young Master glanced at her, a hint of a smirk playing on his lips.

"Impressed?" he asked teasingly.

Leticia nodded eagerly, her crimson eyes shining with excitement. As they entered the mansion, she gasped at the opulence surrounding her the marble floors, the crystal chandeliers, the priceless artworks adorning the walls.

"This is where you live?" she asked incredulously.

Fifth Young Master nodded, watching her reaction with amusement. He gestured for her to follow him up the grand staircase.

"But why is so small?" Leticia asked. Fifth Young Master was speechless this was a large estate.

Fifth Young Master blinked, taken aback by Leticia's comment. He looked around the spacious foyer, trying to see it through her eyes.

"Small?" he echoed, a hint of disbelief in his voice.

"This mansion has over 90 rooms. It's hardly small."

Leticia shrugged, unconcerned by his reaction. She skipped up the stairs, her long silver hair trailing behind her.

"I've seen bigger," she said casually, as if discussing the weather.

Fifth Young Master followed her up the stairs, his curiosity piqued. He wondered what kind of place she could be coming from that would make this mansion seem small.

"Where exactly have you been?" he asked, his tone laced with suspicion.

Leticia paused on the staircase, turning to look at him with those innocent crimson eyes.

"I don't remember," she said honestly.

"But I know I've seen bigger places than this."

The moment they walked inside they were countless of servants.
