Chapter 249: HASTY DECISIONS

Kyle received a message from his sister, telling him to prepare for the burial on the next day. Previously, they agreed to hold five days of funeral and have their mother buried on the sixth day. But now, it was just three days of funeral and Cayenne wanted to bury their mother already.

When he asked what happened, Cayenne just told him that it was due to the illness of their mother. She can't be exposed to other people for too long. Although, Kyle didn't buy that reason from her, he didn't ask anything.

Luiz just agreed to whatever his sister decides. It was also better so that she can rest from the pain.

The two brothers had no idea what just happened.

After getting the divorce papers from the City Hall, Cayenne went back to Peach Wood Subdivision. She laid her body on their bed, cried her heart out with the scent of her husband lingering on their sheets. The pillows had the scent of him which made her felt even more devastated.

'Why am I punished for?' Cayenne asked herself. 'I've been a good girl all my life. I never made a fuss over something. I helped people whenever I can. I never talked back to my mother. I worked so hard for my siblings and for my mom. So, why is this happening to me? What did I do to have my heart broken into pieces?'

She continued to cry for god-knows-how-long, waiting for Stefan to come home but he didn't come back home that night. The next day, with her heart broken to pieces, Cayenne took off the ring from her finger and the bracelet from her wrist. She pulled Stefan's bank card from her wallet and placed it on the table. With a deep breath, she picked up a pen from the drawer and signed her name on the divorce papers.

She wrote him a note with her tears falling on her face. "Let's start another chapter of our life separately. I don't deserve you. I know you were hurt when your brother died but I honestly had no idea about the connection between Jonas and Alexander. I didn't mean to hide the identity of my stepfather to you. I just thought that you wouldn't like me to be acquainted with a criminal. And I guessed it right. I am setting you free. And for the other things that you need to get, just come and get them in the apartment. I'm leaving you a copy of our key. Bye."

Cayenne once told him, as long as he wouldn't give up on her, she wouldn't give up either. As long as they would hold out together, it wouldn't matter how much pain she would be in. However, she wouldn't fight a losing battle. Last night, Stefan's words already told her that she wouldn't win. Instead of forcing herself to fight and cling to him where they would keep getting hurt, she would rather set him free.

Cayenne went back to the funeral home to finish all the preparations. Her father was also there and was informed of the burial ceremony that Cayenne asked Kyle to process.

"Why are you burying your mother in a hurry? Did something happen?" Reuben asked his daughter. He was aware of the previous plan so he was surprised to know that they're burying her on that day.

"Nothing happened. I just don't want to expose the people to her illness. It's not good to keep her for a long time. And she needed to rest." Cayenne responded with an expressionless face.

"Yen, I know this is not the right time but I have my gift here for you." Reuben handed her a folder which contains information about the house and lot property. "It's not much. I wanted to give this when your mother was still around but she refused me. I just really wanted to give you your own house."

"Thank you. Do I have to sign my name anywhere?"

"Yes. Please sign your name here so that it will be legally yours." Reuben gave her a pen happily and pointed the spaces where she needed to sign her name. "Thank you for accepting my gift."

"Thank you for giving it to me as well. My brothers and I needed it so much right now."

"You're welcome. Here are the keys to the house and the rooms. I'll have someone accompany you there later."

"Okay."

Cayenne didn't dawdle anymore. Because the ceremony was in haste, there weren't many people who came. Luna wasn't even informed about it.

At ten in the morning, the burial ceremony was formally started. This time, Cayenne didn't cry. She was just staring on the coffin as it was lowered six feet below the ground. Her eyes looked dull and lifeless. Kyle was worried for her but he knew that Cayenne won't open up to them if she didn't want to.

He had tried getting in touch with Stefan but no one was picking up his calls. He thought it was weird but he was now certain that Cayenne had a fight with Stefan.

After the mass was over, Reuben talked to Cayenne and also asked one of his drivers to come to the public cemetery to pick up the kids. Cayenne was thankful to him but she never once called him father.

"Let's go back to the apartment and pack." Cayenne told Luiz and Kyle. The two boys were stunned with her words but they didn't ask her anything. They boarded the car that Reuben prepared for them and the driver sent them to the apartment.

In Clover Hotel, Stefan woke up with a splitting headache at one in the afternoon. There was medicine on top of his bedside table and there was a note as well. 'Apologize to the lady boss as soon as you wake up. You said a lot of nonsense last night.' It was a note from Chris. There were several missed calls on his phone as well and three of them were from Kyle and one from Manager Kim.

"Since I'm in the hotel, I might as well drop by the lounge to see Ayen." He drank the medicine, took a quick shower and left his suite to find Cayenne.

Inside the employee's lounge, Manager Kim was talking to Luna and Celine. She received Cayenne's resignation letter emailed to her this morning which was a shock to her. She tried calling Stefan to ask if she was aware of Cayenne's decision but given that they were married, she decided to drop the call, thinking that Stefan must have known about it.

But now that she was talking to Luna and Celine, it seemed like she never told anyone about her resignation.

'Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.' Luna's phone was vibrating in her pocket. When she picked it up and read the message, her eyes went wide from wonder. "Cayenne had her mother's body buried today."

"Today? I thought it would be on Saturday." Celine commented.

"No. Kyle sent me a message asking why I didn't come. I had no idea they had moved the date. Cayenne didn't tell me anything. The information she told me was that the burial of her mother would be this Saturday."

"Whose mother is being buried?"
