My Stubborn Mistress - Chapter 312

Chapter 312




In a long table beside the indoor poolside was a merry breakfast . Landon is one who laughing a loud among them . Cassie cannot believe what she is seeing . Last night, her father showed such a scene in front of their family friends . And now, everything like nothing happens .

Cassie has done her breakfast and so, she takes a distance from the loud adults and suits herself seated in a couch in front of the pool .

Everything to her is like a dream . She has this feeling that it was waking up from a nightmare, and she doesn't know which one is true . She thought her parents had died and lived alone . But now, if this is a dream, then she prayed that she won't wake up anymore .

"Hi," Quinn joined her on the couch and placed a mug of hot chocolate in front of her .

She blushed . "Thank you . "

"Did you sleep well?" Quinn asked afterward .

"Hum!" she nodded, then sip from the mug to hide her flushing cheeks .

Truth is, she hasn't slept last night . Not because her head bothering her, but filled with butterflies as her heart flutters . She cannot forget when Quinn kissed her . Dumbfounded she slapped him . New to this feeling she's very surprised, but Quinn's kisses were sweeter and hot than this hot chocolate she's drinking . With the thought, she almost chokes the hot liquid on her mouth .

No . Her cheeks flushing more with her crazy thoughts . But one thing she could feel . Quinn's kisses seem longing for someone . Maybe she cannot find out as she had collective amnesia . She forgets about him .

"How are you feeling now?" Quinn then asked .

"I am better, bro— um . . . " She's uncertain if what to call him now she knew who he is to her life . But as thinking he is way older than her, she can't bring herself to call him just by his name .



It amused Quinn . Cassandra is making several expressions, and she still looks very attractive .

But Larry approaches Quinn and then whispered something to him . Cassandra wondered as Quinn got surprised, and a flash of anger registered on his face . Larry and Quinn turn to her .

"Uncle Nicholas called a meeting, we'll leave for now, but we will come back after," he informed Cassandra .

"Hum! Don't worry— Quinn," she said shyly . Finally, she can call him by name .

Quinn smirked . She's learning .

Inside the Library, Butler Pete quickly opens the big monitor screen that hides in one of these walls . They learned that they stressed the signal from the Amazon Forest activated . It will only turn on if someone broke the Security measure the Crow Corporation planted a certain area .

This security system is cannot be detected even ATHENA which the most advanced satellite . It will block any technical device or communication within the area .

And someone shut down the system .

Jessie began reporting the little information he learned .

"Lance Collins found a group of armed men who were entering the sacred forest . Someone is good at a computer who can hack the Amazon system . "




"Someone huh?" Quinn's brow rose upward . If Rudolf hearing this, he'll protest and prove no one can surpass him .

"Did Lance still safe?"

"Yes, he is . He can communicate for the last time . He went to a secret safe house under a waterfall . East of Amazon," Jessie shows the whole map of the Amazon forest in Brazil .

"There—" he moves the red light around a certain area . "There is also another safe house, but it is miles away, opposite to this area," he added .

"So then, it will take a while before he could reach Lady Isabella and pass our message?"

"Yes . Unfortunately, we must deal with them first . "

"Are they after about the Shamans or Lady Isabella?" someone raises this question .

"Maybe both, or one of them . "

"Lance is tailing them . He will try to communicate tonight at midnight . "

 "Okay, standby," Nicholas answered .

"We need to send more people as back up, Uncle," Quinn suggested .

"That necessary, Quinn . Lady Isabella's security is above all . "



"Cheska was in Mexico, right now," Riley said .

"She flew the night after Uncle Edward's funeral . " Levi joined the conversation . He is the youngest among them all .

"Should we send her?" Quinn doesn't agree to put his cousin to a more dangerous mission .

Blaire who followed them as she has a feeling this is very important, someone now calls her phone . She answered it and converse with the caller for ten minutes . After she hangs it up, she shared it with them .

"Cheska said, there are leaders from the Southern America Mafia Alliance who are rising a revolt against the whole Alliance . She began perceiving that they were the ones responsible for this attack . And she volunteered to go to notify Lady Isabella using a different route . "

"Is she knew Lady Isabella?" Quinn asked curiously .

Landon and Hendrick exchange gazes, then they nodded . Amazed Quinn left speechless . Still, so many things he needs to know soon . But before anything else, he needs to assure Lady Isabella's safety .

"Jessie, I shall send you to be a backup," Quinn ordered .

"Understood," Jessie replied .

Landon is looking at the monitor screen for a long time now . He once goes to this jungle; studying certain spices of a plant inside that forest .

"Any suggestion, Landon?" Nicholas asked him .

"Ah, no nothing . I just remembered something," he smiled, which makes everyone dropped their mouths on the floor . But Henry who only laughs .  

"Senior, do you need to laugh like that?"

"No . Don't get it wrong . I just know that you remember that time we went for exploration with Hannah," Henry explained . He then turns to his wife who joined them now, and says,  "Remember that time, darling?"

"I do! That was one of a hell adventure!" She remembered very well .

"It was that time…" Landon quoted .

"Yes . It was like a prophecy . A joke we thought," Lily agreed .

"A shaman foretells, that she could finally reincarnate, so the shaman performed a soul binding marriage to you and Hannah," tell Henry .

"And Cassie was born," Lily continued .

"Sounded an exquisite love story!" Blaire praises .

"Of course, we do, Blaire," Landon said . His eyes showed how in love he was to his wife .

Among everyone in that room, Quinn who's astounded the most to the things he heard right now . He's looking at his parents and Lily notices his amazement .

"Quinn, I know you what you were thinking right now . You were curious to know, is it?" Lily asked Quinn who then nodded .

He can't believe it . His parents were also married to this soul binding ritual thing . It excites him .
