My Stubborn Mistress

Levi, Madison, Cara, and Derek was there as well. Madison already heard the whole story about Shun and Ca.s.sie, and she was astounded hearing it. She still could feel overwhelms and wondering at the same time.

"Levi, do you think, what will happen to them now?" Madison whispered. They were on the sofa and everyone giving an opinion and try to help Shun on how he must explain to Ca.s.sie why he has to hide everything from her.

"You know, am just thinking... why are Shun and Ca.s.sie experiencing what Charles and Carlene had in the past?"

Levi look at Madison, now she did mentioned it, he made a realization. It was Charles who was there when Carlene was born, falling in love at each other but in the end, they separated because Carlene learns the truth that made her hated Charles her whole life.

Does everything still about the Entangled Lives of the Five Families? But how? Why again?

Right now, everyone was here. The Williams, Montfort, The Bennett"s, Bastien, and Shun as both from De La Rue and Williams… even the Chen that a big part in the past is here. But why everything still not right? Is there"s something they must do first to make things right?

Is this still all about the Cursed? Levi now even more confused.

Shun hangs up his phone, he just finished talking with Daichi. They also become so worried and want to come to Paris but he stops them as he will try to talk to Ca.s.sie might she will ready to see him.

Today, Ca.s.sie still doesn"t want to talk with him and she even not eating. Shun was too worried but he can"t force Ca.s.sie to forgive him right away.

Meanwhile, Cara went to talk to Ca.s.sie. She will try to convince her to eat or drink something.

"Ca.s.sie, everyone is worried about you. Please, maybe just have some milk, something that fills your stomach."

Ca.s.sie stayed silent, she even not care to open her eyes and glance at Cara. She just gives her back to tell her she doesn"t want to see anyone.

She then heard more footsteps coming inside her bedroom and whispers reaching her ears.

"Ca.s.sie, Miss Loura wanted to talk to you."

Ca.s.sie just then opens her eyes. She knew that Loura and Larry have vacation plans an out of the country after their wedding day. Why they were still here? Is she be the reason why they delay their honeymoon?

"Ca.s.sie, it"s me. I heard nothing you have eaten yet. Please, tell me if there"s something you wanna eat, Larry would love to cook them," Loura hoping that Ca.s.sie would listen to her. She understands if she"ll shut herself from everyone, however, she carries life inside her.

"Please, just for the baby. Think about it, Ca.s.sie. You need to be healthy for the baby and for the baby to be healthy as well," Loura not giving up. "I heard that the doctor advise you to avoid anything that will cause you a miscarriage. You have to take care if you wanted to give birth to this child."

Loura heard Ca.s.sie began sobbing. She wasn"t sure if she is welcome to touch her, she just wanted to hug her.

Ca.s.sie then sat on the bed and throw herself for a hug. Loura holds her too and lets Ca.s.sie cry all she wanted. She patted her back softly and calming her down.

"You know, Shun loves you very much. He really does. You may not forgive him yet, but I want you to know how much he mourns when he received news that you died. He suffered too much in those years he thinks you were gone."

Ca.s.sie parted from Loura and wipes her tears. She turned around and face the window then stays silent.

"Okay, if anything you wanted, please, we"re all in downstairs, just waiting."

Ca.s.sie glanced over her shoulder and said, "I"m sorry if I cause you all this trouble. Please, you don"t have to worry about me, sister Loura. Thank you for your concern, and so please, you and Mr. Larry should go now to your honeymoon."

"Of course we will get worried about you and Shun. We are a family. We will still not going to enjoy our vacation remembering you both in this state. Shun is worried badly about you, especially that you are pregnant."

"Ca.s.sie, you can"t push us all away. The more you will shut the door from us, the more we will get worried. So there"s no way we will leave you and Shun."

Tears falling again from her eyes. She may be just too young to understand everything yet, because still so hard for her to process what"s going on and why they did this to her. Everyone knows. But no one told her and pretending that everything just the way it is. How? Why? Too many questions running inside her head but;

"Sister Loura, I"m sorry, but I don"t want to talk about it for now. Am still lost, and I don"t know where to begin or what to think. I just wanted to be alone for now."

Loura sighed. "But at least, eat something, okay? Please, allow him to take care of you. Don"t put up the wall between the two of you," Loura told her before she left.

Ca.s.sie tried to understand what Loura has said, but she can"t agree to it when she was hurt like this. Maybe then, that she wanted to close her heart for now, when the wounds are fresh and yet, too painful.

She leans on the headboard of her bed and closes her eyes. She tried not to cry again when she heard a knock. "Yes?"

"Ca.s.sie, hi. I brought the food," Madison place the tray on the bed. "Just tell me if you need something more."

"Thank you," Ca.s.sie answered lazily and tried to smile at Madison.

She began eating but really can"t enjoy the food anymore. However, Cara and Loura were right, that even just for the baby, she must take care of her body. But, can she really have all the will now?

Ca.s.sie could tell that it was Larry who cooks the food. Tears escaping from her eyes... even of what had happened, there still people that showing how much she was loved.

Her tears made Madison to panicked. "Ca.s.sie?"

She is also very worried. Why does she have to witness this now? Even though she was reborn and grew up with complete parents on this lifetime, but why she is seeing on how her mother been hurting while she is trying to continue to live despite the pain she is feeling?

Marivella is full of pained conceiving her child because of the truth, that the man she loves was killed by the people she knows… and even in this lifetime, she still has to suffer what she had in her past life, and her child was left behind because she died.

Thinking this, Madison cannot hold not to cry. Ca.s.sie wonders so she just hugs Madison and they both crying then.

"Madison, you don"t need to worry about me."

"Please, don"t act tough! You already left me before, do you want to leave this child alone again without a mom?"

Ca.s.sie is dumbfounded. Truly she didn"t realize it but Madison is right. She once left her child without a parent in the past, and now, with different reasons but the same situation, either she will lose the child before she gives birth or this child growing up without her.

She holds Madison"s hands and squeezes it. "Thank you." She once promises to herself, that she will take care of both of them, so that, until the end, they will be together.

"I want to talk to him," her request to Madison.

Happiness showed to her face. If she is the child inside of Ca.s.sie now, she would be glad to hear that her parents will reconcile.

Not long after, Shun slowly entered the bedroom. Ca.s.sie could feel his presence, this warmth, and smell she can"t deny… a familiarity her heart actually missing already.

"I want to go home."

"Ca.s.sandra?"

"I want to go back to Hiryuu Island."

Shun did not reply for a long moment but weighing first everything and words he should say.

"Alright, but you need to prepare for College. The school will start soon."

Ca.s.sie did not reply. The truth is, she just wanted to go home so that she won"t cause any trouble and make them worry about her. She will feel better to be on the Island and away from everyone.

"Okay… let me first fix my schedule here then, we will go home sooner after." Shun promise.

His shoulders were dropping from his body. He could see that Ca.s.sie still doesn"t want to talk to him about those things. He sighed. What he should do for her to give him a chance to explain everything?

He is also hurting that they were like this now… because Heaven knows how much he loves this girl.
