She let his warm fingers caressing her face and wiping the tears that keep flowing from her eyes even she was sleeping.

She wants to stay like this forever, inside his arms who given her stillness from her broken heart. Ca.s.sie pressing her face on Shun's chest to hear his heartbeats, this is not just a dream.

She can't stop sobbing again. Shun kisses her forehead, her nose, both of her cheeks and especially her lips. Shun hungrily tasted her lips and kissing her deeper and longer.

"I love you, Ca.s.sandra." Shun whispering on her ears. "I am always here. I won't leave you ever."

Shun gives her a breathtaking one before he abandons her lips and his kisses went down to her neck and her whole being. She let their body become one, she wanted to feel a deeper connection with him, that their heart is not also as one but her entire body and soul.

Ca.s.sie holds him like he has given her the strength to face reality tomorrow... all she needed right now is only him.

Holding him like this is not just a dream... feeling his warm chest against her head is like comforting her that everything will be all right. Shun is kept combing her hair and stroking her back while he planted soft kisses on her head.

"Tell me, have you known all of this?" she asked him afterward.

"Yes, I am sorry... I want to tell you about it but, I wasn't able to come back right away and things are uncontrollable anymore. I'm sorry if I was late..." he sincerely answered her.

Ca.s.sie shook her head then looks up. "No. You just arrive when I needed you the most," she shoves her head onto his neck, ended her to lay on top of him.

"Don't do that..." Shun whispered to her ear. "It tickles..." he then sighed.

It sends her electrifying sensation throughout her body, her face is now flus.h.i.+ng read. Shun hold her tight and she can't refuse but accepts him one more time.

Ca.s.sie and Shun having a serious talk after their warmth bath and dinner sent to the bedroom, they stayed on the bed holding each other.

"It was uncle Andrew who gathered more evidence and waited for the right time," Shun began. "Then the media who help out to reveal everything." He was still very careful not to mention anything as he still not prepared to tell her about who he really is and his illness until now.

"Have you helping him to get justice for my parent's death?" Ca.s.sie asked him. She kind of understand, that Attorney Andrew needs a huge backing up to do this. She waited for Shun to answered and he nodded then kiss the back of her hand.

"Julius Kang cannot keep it a secret forever and he must pay for his crime. He also wants you dead, I won't allow that to happen. No one could take you away from me," he added.

"Besides, you have all the rights to the company. It is yours and Julius Kang already spent a lot from your a.s.sets. He lives a luxury life more than you."

"But I don't need it, all I wanted is my parents..." Ca.s.sie chokes while saying these. "I missed them so much..."

"I know you are..." Shun hold Ca.s.sie's chin to let her see him on the eyes, "and I will promise to your parents that I will love you forever and I will always be here for you no matter what."

Tears want to fall from her eyes once again. "Thank you! I wished, you could meet them... but am sure, they will be happy for me," she told Shun.

And guilt fills his heart, still, more things he hides from her... one at a time he will tell her everything in the near future. His main concern by now is her to have the freedom from Julius Kang's scheme of killing her. Although Julius Kang was arrested now, Shun doesn't want to rest a.s.sured. He is certain that Julius Kang would not silent that easy, his men still out there.

They did talk a little more and he told her about Jason Kang who won't support his father, instead, he is prepared to testify against him. Jason Kang won't tolerate his father's crime. He recently found out, that his father poisons his grandfather because the old Kang wants to give all Young's a.s.sets in the company. His father's greed is great that he could vomit how a vicious man he is even to his own father.

Ca.s.sie was shocked at the same time, she feels great anger about how a son could do that to his parent, that is unforgivable.

She wanted to stay awake and talk with Shun, even more as he was away for almost a week... she misses to talk with him, however, her eyes were too heavy. She blushed when she remembers their intense physical activity earlier, it's been a while that is why. She pressed her body towards him to linger on his warmth.

Shun felt Ca.s.sandra's stable breathing against his chest, he waited for her to fall asleep deeper before he slowly steps out from the bed and meets the others in his study room.

"What happened to you?" Daichi who asked him first. He gives him a tight hug awhile ago and cried while telling him how lonely is Missy on these pa.s.sing days.

"I'm sorry to make you all worry and leave you all alone on this time around."

"You have nothing to worry about us, we more worried about you. Of course, we don't know how we will going to explain to Ca.s.sie if you took longer to come back," Kier told him.

Blaire who sit beside him keeps sobbing, he patted her back and said, "Hey, am here now."

"Of course, I am very worried you won't wake up anymore." Blaire trying to dry her eyes. "Ca.s.sie is waiting for you."

"I know. That's why I will come back no matter what," he comforted her.

"We still don't understand why that happens to you?"

Shun stayed silent for a moment, he weighs if he should share them and if his friends would believe about it.

"Brother, is there something bothers you?"

"The truth is, the whole time I was sleeping is like I was in the past. I don't think I was traveling back in the past, it just felt like I saw everything that happens through my dreams... I guessed I know who cast the cursed and the Five families who cause this all. Still, I don't know where to begin." He stared at the faces who give him different reactions.

"Why?" Meisha who asked afterward.

"If I am not mistaken, it happens during the 1700's..." and he shared the story to his friends.
