My Stubborn Mistress (Volume 1)

Two: Meeting You

Cassie's POV

Cassie's heartbeats were racing inside her chest every step she takes to this cemented staircase of the porch.

She entered the house and saw two men sitting comfortably on the long sofa: one sipping tea and the other drinking beer. The two rose from the couch, then bow at her as well.

She was ultimately in a daze of what was happening. She then noticed a tall man coming down from the second floor of this villa.

"Who are you? All of you? Where is aunt Lydia?" Does she demand an answer?

She began shivering, fearing these men maybe did something to her Aunt and Mimie. Are they locked up in one of the rooms upstairs? Tied down and covered their mouth? Her thoughts.

"Sit down," the guy ordered her. Cassie stares at him for a moment, and her knees become weak. Hesitant, she slowly took the closest couch and clasped her palm tightly on her lap.

Are they going to murder us? Or maybe they will do--?

Cassie began panicking with all the crazy imaginations inside her head. The man that it looks like stood as the boss sits across from her. He seems very serious. The way he stared at her is like devouring her whole being. Sweat cold rushing her body. She feels tense right now. She also often glances at the two men behind him. They may gaze blankly at her, but it cannot ignore their presence.

SHUN'S POV

Shun makes a stroll inside the villa. He opens every room he finds and checks them out. His mouth twitches after opening a vast space that shows luxury in every corner, in which the other room is full of unnecessary stuff that just scattered around.

The last room on that corner shows a simple tone of paint. He gasped in awe after roaming inside. The size is just ordinary, but it was well-taken care. It was cleaned and gave positive vibes.

He opens the sliding door in that small veranda. The ocean looks so blue now past noon. He inhales the breeze coming from the sea; the salty air is surprisingly pleasant and refreshing.

Shun saw a family photo in an antique dresser. He picks it up and takes a closer look. The thirteen-year-old boy in the middle of the couple smile purely while carrying a baby girl. The family looks thrilled.

He felt his phone vibrating inside his pocket. Shun takes it out, then answers.

"Boss, she's here," informed one of his men outside.

"Okay," he responded and then turned off his phone. He let his eyes wander the room one more time before he went outside.

Shun observes her entering the house, he notices how tense she was, and when their eyes meet, she then begins asking questions.

"You have nothing to worry about," he replied to calm her. "Your aunt and her daughter have now gone."

"They're dead already?"

The young girl made a hysterical reaction, and so he held himself not to laugh. She amused him.

Rudolf and Daichi glance at each other and hold not to laugh either.
