Chapter 404 – I WON’T ABANDON HER
Stefan didn't tell Cayenne about it yet because he wanted to talk to her when it's only the two of them. It's something that they should discuss in private.
With the information in his hand, Stefan felt like he was holding a ticking time bomb. It made him feel anxious.
Time was slowly ticking by and it was the first time that he wanted for time to pass by as quick as it could. Usually, when he's spending time with her, he would want for time to stop or for time to slow down but this was different. He just wanted to go home and let her know of this information because their life might be in danger.
At exactly four in the afternoon, the professor who was in-charge of the examination started to collect the papers. The students came out and met with their families, telling them that the exam wasn't easy at all.
Luiz was no different, he felt like he exhausted all is intelligent resources with the exam. "We will know the result after three days. They will send us the result as well as the notice of admission." He told his family as they walked out of the building.
"Well, no matter what happens, whether you pass it or not, don't feel disheartened. This school isn't the only place that offers your course." Cayenne told her brother because she didn't want to put so much pressure on him. "Let's go to the mall and buy groceries first. Martin sent me a message that the groceries at home were running out. Then, let's have dinner together."
Since it was Martin who sent a message, it was obvious that the home she meant was the house in Peach Wood where Stefan's family lives.
"Are you okay with it?" Luiz asked Clarisse just in case she has other plans in mind.
"Yes, it's fine. I have no other plans anyway."
"That's great. Let's go the mall now." Cayenne was very cheerful as they walked back to where Stefan parked their car.
Every time she smiles, two women would look at her with deep frown on their faces. They looked at each other but didn't say anything. They both decided to go home right after the exam.
When they arrived home, an old man was sitting in the living room with a stern look on his face. He was holding a golden cane with a dragon engraved on it. The handle had a small dragon figure as well, the symbol of their group.
"Good afternoon, grandpa." Both girls greeted him and gave him a hug. "How's your day?"
"The same as always." He's Jean Nikko Rule. The head of the Dragon Empire in Country C. "Have you found any clue of her?"
"No, grandpa but we saw a girl who looked almost exactly as her. I'm not really sure if it's her though because she has a different maiden name."
"I don't need anyone who only looks like her. I want to see my daughter back! Find out where she is. Don't just waste our resources."
"Yes, grandpa. No worries about that. We will surely find her."
"Go and take a rest in your rooms. The dinner will be ready in an hour."
The two ladies went upstairs and got into their respective bedroom. The older lady, the woman who kept clashing with Cayenne was named Diana Rule. The younger lady who took the exam together with Luiz was named Artemis. They're not twins but their mother gave them the name of the same goddess. They looked demure and harmless but within their small bodies were explosive strength and power.
Diana laid down on her bed with a helpless expression. "Twenty-three years. Twenty-three and we still couldn't find her. We almost flipped the entire country C to find her but she wasn't there at all. Are we going to scour this country for another twenty-three years, too? She's probably dead. Tsk! If they would regret doing what they've done, they shouldn't have done it in the first place." She mumbled to herself while looking up at the ceiling.
But you wouldn't really know you'd regret something unless you do something, right? Regret doesn't happen at the beginning of something. It happens at the end of it.
Diana was good in archery and close combat while Artemis was good in shooting and hand-to-hand combat. Both of them can kill a cow alone if needed. They cannot be underestimated.
It was the reason why Stefan felt so anxious for his wife. He knew a lot of the Dragon Empire and the dragon gang of country C. He knew that everyone in the Rule family was trained harshly ever since they were young except for the one and only daughter, Amethyst.
It was known to everyone that she suddenly vanished and up until now, no one knew what has happened to her. Stefan was also intrigued by this but he wanted to show everything to his wife first before letting her know of his opinion. In City A, he might be one of the powerful people but against the most powerful empire in country C, his power couldn't win against them. He will probably need Travis to help him again.
While thinking about this, Shein also talked to Travis about what he knew of Cayenne's identity. At first, they didn't really look into her mother's identity because they thought it wasn't needed. Now, they knew how foolish that idea was. Cayenne was actually in a precipice with a dangerous ravine below her. One wrong move and she'd be killed. It's time for them to decide whether to risk everything and side with her or let them settle their own problem while they sat and watch.
"Why are they getting problems every single day?" Travis questioned to no one in particular. "They haven't deal with their current problems yet and now, another problem arose."
"That can't be helped." Jillyanna told her husband. "Who didn't have problems every day. I think I'm the only one." She told him because most of her problems will be solved by her husband before she stressed herself over it. "Anyway, I'm not abandoning her."
"That's the answer." Travis told Shein. "Tell Stefan to come tomorrow for a discussion."
"I think he will be traveling with Yen and their families for five days." Riley told them because she remembered Cayenne saying those words to her.
'Sigh. They even have time to go for a trip at this point?' This was what everyone thought of the couple. Despite the dangers lurking around them, they didn't let it bother them and just have fun whenever they can.
