The door opens and Rudolf swallowed. He was right, the person in front of him looks he wanted to throw him on top of the Empire Dragon Hotel or drown him in the middle of the ocean.

"What is it?"

Ah... He was really angry. "I'm sorry to bother you, Shun." Rudolf peeping inside like looking for Ca.s.sie.

Shun understand and so he steps out of the room and closes the door.

"How important is it?"

This is bad, Rudolf thought. "Olivia..." he finally says her name.

Black lines now showing up from Shun's forehead. "What about her?"

"She was in the mansion," he told him.

"What!? Why you let her in!?"

"We blocked her way and told her you are not available but..."

"What?" Shun is impatient.

"Olivia said, she was here to talk about Ca.s.sie."

"What!?" Shun was very surprised by how Olivia knew. Shun clenches his hand. "Where is she?"

"Blaire brought her to the study room."

"Why she was brought there?!" Shun trying to control not to yell, might Ca.s.sie will hear it.

"Blaire said, it's better for you both to talk over there so that, even if you keep yelling or arguing, cannot be heard outside."

Rudolf has a point. She was here now, so he just needed to meet her and send her away by himself.

"Alright, I'll be there in a moment."

Rudolf nodded then left. Shun doesn't want to leave Ca.s.sandra's side by now. But he is uncertain why Olivia came over despite the weather outside. He has a bad feeling about it.

Shun entered the bedroom to let Ca.s.sie know he has very important to take care for now. Blus.h.i.+ngly, Ca.s.sie nodded, she cannot look him on the eyes.

He was tempted to claim her lips one more time, he did not waste time, and he kissed her pa.s.sionately again.

Ca.s.sandra's lips are sweeter than the blueberry jam they've had on their bread. He doesn't want to part their lips. He could feel Ca.s.sandra's hands holding him on his shoulders. He deepens his kisses to let Ca.s.sie know how much he craves for her kisses.

They both out of breathes when their lips parted. Shun kiss her forehead and said, "I'll be back."

Ca.s.sie keeps staring at the wall blankly even if Shun left already. What did happen just now and a little while ago? Is this a dream? Or part of her beautiful nightmare?

After she's trying to process everything that had happened, Ca.s.sie touches her lips. It is real. Her and Shun had kissed! Not only once but twice!

Ca.s.sie runs towards her bed and throws herself on the mattress. She shouted on her pillow so that no one could hear her. Probably no one could hear her even if she won't cover her mouth, but it is embarra.s.sing, her cheeks are burning, she was sure her face is flus.h.i.+ng red.

***

Shun entered his study room, immediately, Blaire and Meisha leave them alone to have a private talk.

"What brings you here, Olivia?" he asked coldly.

"Tell me, she was alive!" Olivia yells at him.

"Who are you talking about?"

"Your sister! Who else?!"

"Of course, Blaire is alive. You just talked to her just now."

"Quinn!"

His gazes are full of ferocity. Olivia made a few steps back.

"What do you want, Olivia?" his tone is rough.

Olivia s.h.i.+vering a little bit but she won't allow to devour her by fright.

"At first, I don't believe what your secretary have said! But hearing it from someone else as well, then it proves it was true!"

"What do you mean, hearing it from someone?"

"It doesn't matter! But you are insane! My G.o.d! No wonder you suddenly got cold on me! Because you are obsessed with your sister!"

"Just speak to the point, Olivia," Shun's voice is full of authority.

"She was your sister!"

"That's none of your concerned," Shun's voice is even getting colder. "Now tell me... who's the other person that mention her?" He has given her a piercing gazes.

Olivia felt that pressure he was giving her. "Enough of your obsession with your sister! I still love you, Quinn... or Shun, whatever!"

"Marry me..." Olivia proposes.

Shun did not react to her proposal. "Don't f**king kidding me," what he only answered.

"Quinn!"

"Shut up!" Shun rose from his chair behind his study table.

Olivia steps back when Shun walking towards her. He grabs her left shoulder, his grasp is hurting her.

"I won't repeat myself again. Where did you hear it!?"

"Shun, that's hurt. Let me go..." Olivia almost cried. Shun push her on the corner.

"Julius Kang..."

"What?"

"We have a dinner meeting last night at the Empire Dragon Hotel about my investment to the KPI company and President Kang asked about you. He asked me if I did know that you kept a woman name, Ca.s.sandra Young."

"I would be very surprised if I did not hear it first from your secretary. So it was true? She is alive?"

"And what is it to you?" Shun asked coldly.

"She is your sister! Even if not by blood! But you are legally adopted by Young before the Crow took you!"

"Get out! And don't you ever try to meddle in my business in any way. I'll make you regret it!"

Olivia shook her head. "You are crazy, Shun. Have you told her? Did you already tell her the truth? Huh!?"

Shun grab her another arm. "I already have said, don't meddle on my business! Don't make me repeat it again, Olivia." He said firmly. His voice is full of threats.

"You don't know anything, so keep your mouth shut."

"Now, leave!" he shouts at her.

Olivia gives her a furious look before she steps out of his study room.

Shun slammed his hands on his table. "s.h.i.+t!"

"So Julius Kang now declaring a war." Shun's eyes are full of hatred.

He sits back on his chair and tried himself to get calm. He clasped his hand and let his head rested, then close his eyes.

He leans his back on his chair and opens a drawer from his table. He takes out the photo frame he looks at every day for the whole six years. When he learned that the Young family died by a s.h.i.+pwreck, his heart died as well.

He felt lost and that time he meets Olivia in the US, then he tried to drown himself to forget.

Because six years ago, he already falls in love to the 12 years old Ca.s.sandra.

No. Maybe since the day she was born...

...that very day he first held of her on his arms...
