Bella's POV
Following Jean's lead through the garden, I reached the spot where Lucky had vanished.
The expansive grounds stretched before me, showcasing intricate rock formations and pavilions, decorated with countless rare and exotic flora.
Ursula cherished this place above all others. Lucky could run wild and free while she tended her precious blooms. A perfect arrangement for both.
I scoured every possible hiding spot during our trek, yet Lucky remained nowhere to be seen.
Servants scattered across the courtyard, their voices echoing as they called "Lucky!" over and over.
The tiny pup had simply disappeared.
I searched every corner of the garden thoroughly, even checking beneath the plants, but found no trace of Lucky.
Minutes dragged by, and cold sweat formed along my hairline.
Disappointment etched itself across every face—nobody had located Lucky.
I drew in a steadying breath, willing myself to remain composed.
