Chapter 617: ANOTHER CLUE

“How’s the new poison I asked from you?” A man in his early fifties wearing a lab coat came inside the laboratory. He was roamed around the place, touching cylinders and flasks, picking items here and there while keeping his peripheral vision to the woman who was busy with the experiment.

“I made several samples already but they are still lacking in requirements.”

“What do you mean?”

“You wanted me to make something odorless, tasteless and colorless poison. There’s a carbon monoxide that we can use but, it will be troublesome to do that. They will notice it immediately. I mean, why would someone burn such thing at home or somewhere? I am still creating a crystal form of them.”

“And when will it be prepared?”

“Sometime soon.”

“You better hurry or your man will stay longer in jail.”

.....

“I know.”

The woman smiled faintly, confident with what she was doing and she knew that she was going to be successful. However, she was worried. She needed to see her man first before she hands the poison to her leader. If something goes wrong, the blame will be shifted to her. She can’t risk her life for something she’s not really directly involved.

On the other hand, Napoleone was getting more excited as the days went by. His expressions and reactions brought suspicions to Simon especially after he received an exclusive meeting with Tristan. That’s when he found that the bunch of scribbles where actually formulas and he knew everything about them.

He has regretted so many things after what happened to his sister in the past. He didn’t want the same tragic thing to happen to the person who’s close to Jillyanna.

The next day, Cayenne and Stefan received a wedding invitation. It was Gabriel and Winter’s wedding. “They are finally getting married.” Stefan commented when he saw the wedding invitation. He also thought of his own wedding but he couldn’t tell Cayenne about it because it was meant to be a surprise for her.

“When’s the wedding?” Cayenne asked. She has plans on her own but she couldn’t miss this wedding as well especially that Winter and Gabriel were considered close family to Jillyanna and Travis. Receiving an invitation to their wedding felt like a big honor to Cayenne.

“They are going to hold a Christmas-themed wedding on December 12. That is Sunday and it’s two weeks from now.”

“We should go and buy a wedding present for them.” Cayenne replied excitedly.

Stefan pulled her to sit on his lap and kissed the tip of her nose while hugging her waist happily. “You’ve been very busy the past few days and you still have several days to attend the university before winter break. I already bought the gift in your behalf Mrs. Dumrique.”

“Thank you, Mr. Dumrique. You saved me a lot of time.”

“Of course, I need to save as much time as I can so we can have more time together.”

‘Geez! What are they up to now?’ Luiz shivered from the sweetness in front of him and decided to do his homework at the gazebo instead. He thought ants were crawling on his legs whenever those two goes all sweet and cuddly in front of him. Compared to them, he felt that his relationship with Clarisse was the most normal.

“So, what do you want us to do today? Do you have anything in mind?” Cayenne asked as she kissed his chin, nipped on it and bit it lightly. Her actions were a little bit ticklish to Stefan, making him chuckle and groped her butt to tease her. “You don’t like me doing this?”

“Let’s not do it in broad daylight today.”

“But we cannot do it later tonight?”

“Why not?” Stefan sounded aggrieved with her response and pinched her butt cheeks again.

“Hon, did you just forget that I still have class? You said it yourself. Besides, my class on Monday starts rather early. So, we cannot do it tonight. I think we haven’t been doing it on Sunday night.”

“Then, let’s do it now.”

“Silly.” Cayenne kissed his cheeks and got off from him. “Let’s get some massage instead. It will relax both of us.”

“But it won’t relax this.” Stefan pointed out with his finger pointing at his bulging pants.

Cayenne only laughed at him and throw a pillow on his face. “You do something with that.”

Sunday was spent with the whole family instead. Everyone had been busy with their works, study and other things that they weren’t able to just sit down and relax with everyone else. Because of this Cayenne decided to spend time with everyone. Kath and Clarisse were even invited for lunch. Cayenne wanted everyone to know them a little bit more since they’d be part of the family in the future. That’s what she was hoping for.

“That’s not fair.” Stefan hugged her from behind while she was cleaning some vegetables with Lucia.

“Alright, you have to stop now. I’m a little bit busy with the dishes that we are about to cook.”

“And what about me?”

She faced her pouty husband and kissed him several times to console him. “Let’s watch movie together in the afternoon.”

“Okay.” Stefan agreed with no hesitation and left. “Let me know if you need help.” He said while walking back to the living room.

“I didn’t know sir Stefan can be childish sometimes.” Lucia commented with a faint smile on her lips. “He didn’t look cold like what everyone said on their posts or news.”

“That man values this home so much.”

“You are wrong on that Ma’am Cayenne.”

“What do you mean?”

“Sir Stefan doesn’t value this home. He values you more than anyone else and anything else. If it’s something or someone you like, he will like them and do his best to cater to their needs. If it’s something or someone you hate, he’ll do his best to get rid of them. He values you because you are his home.”

Sofia smiled and nodded her head in agreement. “Perhaps you are right. That man likes to spoil me.”

Together with Lucia’s daughter, the four of them cooked and helped each other to make sure that everything will be finished before twelve noon. As for Stefan, he was tasked to entertain the guests, talk to them and play with them, just whatever he could do to make sure that they won’t feel out of place.

Reuben came as well. This time, his wife Ingrid didn’t come with him due to some health issues. She was brought to a hospital last week but Cayenne couldn’t even visit to see how the woman was doing because her family has been looking after her. She didn’t like seeing Ingrid’s family. She might not be hating the woman but she hates her parents and grandparents who forced Reuben and Emerald to separate.

Stefan was talking to Reuben and Stanley about a golf game which will be held next week. Before, he likes to play golf and mess around his father by using some of the women their as her girlfriends or flings. Now, apart from stopping his flirting game, he stopped golf as well. He would never step foot on the place whose employees talked bad things about his wife.

In the middle of their conversation, Stefan received a message from Vincent. ‘Look for Denise Amir. Mr. Summer said that he had a classmate back in college who is very good in creating poisons. She specialized in that field and she may have an idea of those formulas that your secretary decoded.’

‘Is there even a course that specializes in making poisons?’ Stefan questioned himself after reading the message. ‘Thank you.’ He typed and sent it back to the man. He copied the message and sent it to Tristan. He’s been giving so many works to his secretary now and he felt a little bad doing so.

Tristan replied an ‘okay’ hand sign and Stefan knew that he’d be working on that even though it was his day off.

‘I’ll give one week off once everything’s finish. I just need to make sure that Cayenne will be out of harm’s way.’ Stefan thought and was about to put his phone back inside his pocket when he got another two messages. His eyes lit up with the notification and he immediately stood up.

“Dad, uncle, excuse me for a while. I need to take an important video meeting.”

What else could be so important aside from Cayenne? Of course, the things that can be related to her; like her safety, her wants, her needs and her wedding. Stefan ran upstairs with so much excitement. The wedding was 70% done and the house was almost finish as well. His surprise was getting closer to completion.
