Just as scheduled, Artemis and Seiji arrived the next day. And like what Olivia said, Artemis was indeed clingy to Cayenne. Well, she's playing her part very well.
"Sis! I brought your favorite dishes. Bro helped me cooked these dishes this morning." Artemis stated while placing the food container on the dining table. She skipped and hopped towards Cayenne and linked their arms together. "How have you been doing so far? Did the doctor say anything about your illness?"
"Nope. He said that I am fine now and that I can come home to prepare for the wedding." Cayenne rubbed the girl's head who was of the same age as her youngest brother, Luiz. 'I miss Kyle and Luiz.' Cayenne thought while looking at the girl beside her. "Did you guys talk to my father about the wedding? Is he coming?"
"We did send an invitation to him but we're not sure if they're coming. I mean, someone must have informed you that he's married to someone now, right?"
"Hn." Cayenne nodded her head with a perfunctory answer. She looked towards Seiji and smiled at him. "So, you guys will be taking me home today?"
"Yup! Grandpa agreed to take you back but you will be staying in the mansion because of the accident." Artemis responded before Seiji could.
Seiji nodded his head in agreement because that's what Nikko Rule wanted. He can't let anything bad to happen before the wedding so, he wanted to keep an eye on Cayenne.
Cayenne didn't say anything because she didn't know what to say at this point. "By the way sis, your school called us about your absence and we already informed them of what happened. You don't need to worry about your class."
"My class? I am still studying?"
"Yeah. Oh right! I forgot that you lost your memories. Anyway, that's that and we'll take care of the things that you've forgotten."
Cayenne smiled and let the woman talk whatever she wanted to say and just indulged her with time. Seiji didn't interrupt Artemis as well. They just listened to her as if she was really close to Cayenne.
'In this whole family, I can't tell which of them is the best actors and best actress.' Seiji thought to himself while listening to Artemis.
Since they brought lots of food, Cayenne suggested that the three of them have a picnic outside where they can view the beautiful see and admire the field of flowers. Seiji agreed without hesitation and so was Artemis.
Olivia, the doctor, and the guards, who were also her abductors, didn't notice anything. They weren't suspicious either specially that the other person present was Artemis. Who would think that she'd betray her family for her personal gain.
Outside, while away from everyone, the three of them were laughing as if they were talking about something funny but if you listen to their words closely, you would think otherwise.
"Your phone fell on the tub when I was tring to send message. It's ruined." Cayenne stated before chuckling as if what she said was funny.
"It's fine." Seiji replied with a wide smile on his face.
"We will find a chance for you to meet your husband. Act accordingly and we will make this plan successful." Artemis also added with faint laughter.
"I can't believe you'd betray your family."
"They betrayed me first." Artemis answered while smiling but there was a chilling coldness that laced her words. "I'll have them pay what they owe me."
Olivia was watching them from the window and she could see that the three of them were getting along so well. There wasn't any suspicious expression on Cayenne's face and she was very attentive to Seiji like she was really in love with him.
"As soon as she gets married to Seiji, I will leave this country and go into hiding. Jillyanna will surely hunt me down. I need to get away." Olivia murmured.
"Is she that powerful?" The doctor asked.
"Yes, she is. She's our next master after all. If she wants to kill someone, she can find that person and she won't stop unless she achieves her goal."
"Then, hiding won't change anything."
"Actually, as long as Cayenne is fine and not dead, I won't need to pay for my life. Hiding somewhere faraway will be okay. Would you like to hide with me?"
"I can't. I'll have to stay with the Rule family or my mother will die. I have to protect her even if it will cost me my life."
"I see. I don't have a family so, it's fine with me to roam around this world. Take care of yourself, then. As long as we're both alive, we'll definitely met someday."
"You are right."
The two of them watched the three people eating outside while thinking of what their future would be.
In the afternoon, Olivia helped Cayenne pack her things. There weren't many things that she owned since it wasn't really her home. Nobody said anything but Olivia paid attention to every little thing that Cayenne has touched.
"I'm done." Cayenne said as soon as she came out from her room holding a black duffel bag.
"Let me carry that for you." Seiji took the bag away from her and held it on his other hand while taking her hand with the other. They looked so lovely together but only three people knew that they were acting. Cayenne moved closer to him and smiled.
"Stop being lovey-dovey you two. Let's move out already." Artemis mentioned and walked ahead of them. Cayenne and Seiji followed her, still holding their hands.
Olivia and the rest of the people paid by Nikko Rule followed them closely, not giving them a chance to make something that would ruin the whole plan.
Last night, after messaging his wife, Stefan didn't go back to the villa. Everyone thought that he was working over time again but in truth, he went back to their house in City B. He checked the tulips that he once-gifted his wife and made sure that it was still alive.
While watering the plant, he received a message from the jewelry designer in Italy. "Sir, the wedding ring that you asked us to make has been completed. Are you getting this in person or shall we deliver it to you?"
