"Master Levi?" Pete calls out him . He comes ahead to investigate about a few things .
"Any reports, Pete?" he asked his butler for 21 years now, since he was born .
"They haven't found yet the Miss, Master…"
His butler opens the Limousine door and he steps inside .
He clenches his fists . Cassie did not contact him anymore . What's happened to her? He's very worried now .
She supposed to meet him at the airport but his watch reported they didn't see her around in the city .
Did something happen to her? How if she caught by the typhoon? They only have three days .
"Master Levi, I change your hotel to The Peninsula . The press knows you will arrive at the Empire Dragon Hotel this evening, besides, it is near to the Conference . "
"Okay . That's good to hear . " Levi look outside the window . 'Where are you, Cassie?'
"Master…"
He began to feel irritates towards his butler, he'd been interrupting his thoughts . "What's up, Pete?"
"Are you really sure about this?"
"About what?"
"You know that your family wanted you to be engaged to someone else . "
"Then?"
"Master, what you wanted is impossible to happen . "
"What?"
"Your family won't allow it if they found out," Pete stated
"It's the year 2020, Pete, I don't care about it . They can't force me to marry the one I don't love just for the name and power . "
"It is not what I am more concerned about, Master . I am worrying not as your butler, but someone who cares for you . "
"Just make it to the point, Pete . " He's totally irritated now .
"I just don't want you to end up like the Williams, De La Rue, Bastien, and Montfort fates . "
"What? Are you being superstitious now? And what's with those family, including mine?"
"Haven't you heard about your uncle? It may sound like just a tale, but there are many events that their fate entangled and end up into tragedy . "
"Do you really believe that?" he asked his butler . He is now curious to know .
"Even if I don't believe it, but the reality screaming out loud . " Pete's meaningful words .
"Who are you talking about?" his butler is such a riddle . Levi sighed .
Pete stares at his master's confused expression .
"Alright, since you are inheriting the Montfort title as the head of the House next, maybe it is the time you will know . "
"Your uncle Edward is engaged to Lily De La Rue when they were younger . But I heard, Lily wanted to cut off the engagement, then she went to the United States for a 2 years study . Said, she meets Henry and falls in love with her Senior at that university . The family learns about it, and she was forced to go home, then forced to marry your uncle . Not knowing, she was pregnant . After she gives birth to a son, they told her the child was dead . "
"But… the child was sent away and give to his father . They told him, Lily died while giving birth to him . But after a few years, both learned the truth . Lily left your uncle Edward and Henry went to Paris to meet Lily bringing their son . But ended up, only the son alive because your uncle chases them . However, this is not the first time happens . Henry's grandparents have the same tragic . The Williams sent his grandmother away because she is a commoner . "
"Said, these families were cursed to not find happiness, a long-ago tale . "
"Where is this child now?" he asked his butler, too curious about the story .
"He was now seated on top of the world . "
"What?"
"Shun Williams Crow . The next CEO of Crow Corporation and the next line as the De La Rue and Williams head of the House . "
Levi stayed silent . "Why are you saying this all? Is this concerning with me?"
"I don't know . I have no news about President Crow having an affair with any woman . You both a member in the Aristocrats Family, your fate will cross anytime and anywhere . But one thing is, these lives all entangled and already have shared the same fate many times if we basis President Crow's parent's tragic end . "
"Are you scaring me, Pete?"
"No . Just watched it, might the tragic love story repeats . Miss Cassie is a commoner, your family won't accept her . "
"Whatever… like it will happen . What I wanted to hear now is to find Cassie . That's all . "
"By the way, tell me, Pete . Have you changed my hotel because you want me to avoid meeting him? Because of uncle Edward?"
"Let me say, maybe that's the reason . Lord Edward Montfort who killed his parents, we can't avoid him having a grudge with the Montfort family . "
"But it's my uncle, I have no business with him . There's no way we one day chases and kill each other, right?"
Pete stayed quiet for a long moment . "Yes, Master Levi . . . there is no reason for Williams and Montfort to repeat what happens . Seems the fate has changed, except if you insisted for Miss Cassie to introduce to your family, might another tragic repeat once again . "
They now arrive at the hotel and Levi quickly marched to the entrance .

"Shun, Blaire reported, Master Levi Montfort has now arrived in the country . "
"Okay . Watch his moves closely . "
"Understood," Meisha answered .
Shun places his elbow on his knees and rested his chin on his fist . His directors feel the raging emotion from him .
Cassandra has been exchanging emails with him, and they planned to fly to New York, the reason Levi came to the country, and Cassandra left the island .
"Rudolf, I want you to tap Cassandra's phone and monitor her outgoing and incoming calls . Connects her email accounts as well . "
"Shun . . . " Rudolf inhales . "Isn't this is too much? We put her a lot of Security already . "
"What?"
Rudolf sighed tried to bear his sharp gazes towards him . His boss looks like he wanted to kill someone right now .
"You are doing to Cassandra what your mother's been through . "
Shun's gazes become darker . "What are you pertaining to?"
"Am just reminding you something . . . You were slowly taking Cassie's freedom, you chaining her up, and almost imprison her completely . You were leading her the life your mother suffered before . "
"Are you really concerned about Cassandra or something else? Just tell me if you can't do it . "
"Shun . . . " he meets his raging gazed .
Meisha and Kier just listening to them, they both knew that Shun and Rudolf have gone through more than, before the five of them become friends .
"Tell me, do you like Cassandra?" Shun asked out of the blue with a very serious expression .
"Damn it, Shun!" Rudolf angrily gets up from the sofa and grab his boss' collar . "I will do this for Cassie's protection! For sake! In all of the people, I am the one who knew everything you've been through that's why I give solely to concede you whatever you are doing! But suspecting me like this? Damn it! And I am not looking at Cassie that way!" he let go of him .
Meisha and Kier stood from their seat, stunned for what happens . Rudolf turns his back away and put his hands' on his waist . He is heaving furious sighs .
"The two of you should settle this instantly," Meisha ordered . He is the oldest one of them all and decided to act .
"We're not teenagers anymore to have meaningless arguments and doubts," he added . "Don't let Blaire find out and Daichi, even you will hide it from him, he'll notice the tension between you both . "
No one tried to speak but only furious sighs from both of them .
"I'll go check the monitor," Rudolf said . "Looks like, the only place that you forget to install a camera is Cassie's bedroom . "
