"Things like this, I cannot keep this from my brothers." Cayenne mumbled as she wiped away her tears. "At the end of the day, we're all her children. They have the right to know the truth as well."
"You can do whatever you like. Just always remember that I will always be on your side. I won't ever leave you."
"I know." Cayenne caressed his face and smiled while tears still clung on her lashes. "And I'm so thankful for having you by my side."
Stefan just hugged her and let her call Kyle and Luiz. Jonas was also called to be informed of the things he didn't know. He's her mother's lover and just like him, Reuben needs to be informed about this discovery that Shein gave them.
'Knock! Knock! Knock!'
Stefan stood up and opened the door for them. This time, he was already dressed up with a new set of clean clothes, no more tears or snots from his wife. "Come in."
Luiz was stunned to see Cayenne's puffy and red eyes. He turned towards Stefan and he didn't bother hide his look of accusation at all. "What did you do this time?"
"No. Wait!" Cayenne walked towards her husband and pulled him behind him. "Stefan didn't do anything this time."
"So, who made you cry or what made you cry?" Kyle took a seat on the couch as he asked his question. Luiz was following him while keeping his eyes on Stefan. He still wasn't convinced with his sister's words. Jonas had to pull his son and made him in between him and Kyle.
Cayenne shrugged her shoulders and sniffed. "I don't really want us to come to this point but, this time it's not the issue of my father or your father but, it's an issue related to our mother."
"Our mother? What did she do? Did she leave a huge debt for us to pay?" Luiz blurted which earned him a smack from his brother. "Ow! That hurts." He rubbed his head and pouted. "So, what is it?"
Cayenne took a deep breath and put down the laptop on the coffee table in front of them. "I want you to read it yourself. I don't want to recall anything in that document."
"Is your source reliable?" Kyle questioned before reading what's in front of him.
"The no.2 hacker in the whole world looked for that. We didn't bother with the no.1 because he's very busy with his work now." Stefan replied to Kyle's question. Now, it was Cayenne's turn to be shock with this information. Her questioning eyes lingered in Stefan's direction. "Shein is the no.2 hacker in the whole world. The first one is also working for Travis. There's no information in this world that he doesn't have access to." He whispered to his wife while the three men were busy reading the documents.
None of them spoke but Cayenne could hear them breathing heavily and sometimes, their breathing hitched. She was only observing them without saying anything.
Luiz wiped his eyes as he continued to read. As a man, he didn't want to be told that he's a crybaby. But as he continued to read the information, his tears couldn't be stopped anymore. 'No wonder Yen was crying so much.' He thought to himself and wiped his tears with the sleeve of his shirt.
"So, what now?" Luiz asked and looked towards his sister. Kyle and Jonas were looking at her as well, both of them didn't say anything but they both have a depress expression on their faces.
"I don't know what will happen in the future but just in case, just in case they'd come and find us, what will you do?" Cayenne asked them because it's something they needed to be clear as early as now. They should be mentally prepared of all possibilities.
Jonas rested his back on the couch and placed his arms on his eyes. Her stepfather had always been cheerful since he came out of prison but at this point, Cayenne felt like he aged another ten years. "I don't care about her reaches and I don't care about her family. I only needed you guys. Wherever you go, I will always be with you." Jonas commented as he sighed deeply.
"Yen, will you go with them?" Luiz asked in worry.
"After what we just found? There's no way I'd accept them as family. Over my dead body."
"Then, we'll do the same." Kyle and Luiz responded in unison. Despite the depressing matter they found, they still managed to laugh in their unity. "Wherever you go, we will always follow you. Hmp! I don't even know this Rule people. Who cares about them? Mother didn't like them so, naturally, I won't like them as well." Luiz snorted in disdain.
"Well, I was really worried that we'd be separated but looks like we'll always be together."
"Of course." Kyle nodded his head and gave her a thumbs up. "When we had a bad time, you're the only one who supported us. So, we want to return the favor in the future. This Dragon Empire? They can disappear and I don't care. They're indeed rich but they don't know how to take care of their own people."
Cayenne happily approached her brothers and gave them a group hug. She also hugged Jonas and gently pat his back. "I'm glad that we're all in this together pa. Now, you know why mother couldn't marry you. It's not because she didn't love you but because she didn't want anyone to find her and get separated from you."
Jonas hugged Cayenne back. "Hn. Although I was late in coming out, I'm still happy that she chose to live with you until the end." As he pulled away from her, he couldn't stop himself from asking, "Will you tell your father about this?"
"Hn. Dad has the right to know but I believe he won't interfere in my matter. Most likely, he will just support whatever I'd like to do."
"That's good to know." Jonas stood up and stretched his legs. "Let's not think too much about this. It will only ruin our joyful mood."
"Correct." Luiz also agreed as he was making his way to the door.
Kyle followed his brother and father with a smile on his lips. But even though they all said, who wasn't really worried? Cayenne was still worried because she had no idea what the future holds for her.
