Salon des Reines, Paris, France
THE CHAUFFEUR OF Le Comte Jean-Michel Ardois pulled the limousine up in front of the bridal salon on the Rue de L’Echelle. In the last two weeks Princess Tuccianna Falcone Leonardi of Sicily had been here with her mother three times for the bridal dress fitting. Each time they’d come, she’d made excuses to visit the bathroom in order to study the layout of the exclusive shop.
This morning was her final fitting to make sure everything was perfect for the wedding ceremony tomorrow. Only Tuccia had no intention of showing up for the elaborate nuptials arranged by her parents and Comte Ardois ten years ago in a horrifying, ironclad betrothal forced upon her. She’d dreamed of her freedom forever. Now had come the moment for her escape.
Madame Dufy, the owner, welcomed them inside. After fussing over Tuccia and telling her how excited she was for her forthcoming marriage to the comte, she took them back to the dressing room befitting a queen.
“Delphine will be with you in just a moment with your gown. It’s as exquisite as you are, Princess.”

“I can’t help it. You know how I get when I’m nervous.”
“You are impossible, Tuccia!”
“If I don’t go, it might happen in here.”
Her mother’s hands flew up in the air. “All right! But don’t take too long. We have a long list of things that must be done today.”
“I’ll hurry, Mamma.”
Yes, she’d hurry. Right out of the clutches of the comte!
She knew he planned to assign her a bodyguard the moment they were married and never let her out of his sight for the rest of their lives. After overhearing him discuss it with her parents, who’d said she needed a strong hand, she’d been planning how to disappear.
Tuccia opened the door and walked down the hall to the door of the bathroom. But she only went inside to leave her betrothal ring on the floor near the sink. Whoever found it could think what they wanted. After looking around to make sure no one had seen her, she rushed down another hallway straight out the back door of the shop.
From there it was only a short run down the alley used for delivery trucks to the street where she climbed in a taxi.
