Chapter 280 - TAKING PRECAUTIONS

The next thing that Kirin knew when she woke up, was that her son was gone. She tried calling him but her calls weren't going through. Either he turned off his phone or he blocked her. Panic rose from the bottom of her heart and he started calling Cole. Her eldest son was rational and always calm when dealing things. She knew that she can count on him.

Cole was finishing up his work in order to go home and be with his family. He didn't like working overtime so as much as possible, he'd finish his work before the end of his shift. He was about to close his bag when he received a call from his mother. Although he had cut ties with them, Kirin was still the person who gave birth to him. He didn't have the guts to ignore her but he already made up his mind that he won't go back to them.

He picked up his phone and answer it. "What is it that you want this time?"

"Cole, your son is going crazy!" Kirin blurted out in a moment of panic.

"Excuse me? I have a daughter not a son."

"No, it's my son. My son is going crazy! Cole you have to find him and stop him. Or he will end up in jail."

"What do you mean? Make it clear."

"He was planning to do something against Cayenne. You're working for her husband, right? You must have their contact number. Please talk to them. Please don't let them send Arthur to jail. I'm begging you."

Cole took a deep breath and sighed. "I already cut my ties with you and Arthur. Whatever is his problem, I've got nothing to do with it. He's smart and well-behaved, right? A smart son like him won't stoop so low as to committing a crime. Find him yourself. He's your best son after all." Cole ended the call and closed his bag before leaving his office.

Even though he said those words out of anger, he was still concerned about his brother and Cayenne. He didn't want any of them to get hurt.

While getting out of the elevator, he called Cayenne to let her know about what happened.

"I'm not saying this to burden you with his madness but because I'm worried for him and for you. I know that Stefan won't think twice and would send him to jail if something horrible happens to you. So, please be careful. I don't want my mother to end up alone for the rest of her life."

Cayenne smiled faintly although, Cole couldn't see it. "Don't worry, I won't let Stefan hurt him. Even though he's planning to hurt me, our relationship in the past can offset his bad intention. But Cole, would you mind if I'll push them away and let them leave the country?"

"Nope. You can do it if that's what you think is best. It's better than living in jail while the other live alone in a house with no warmth."

"Alright. I'll take up words. Don't worry, at this point, I still see him as a friend who had been with me through my ups and downs."

"Yen, thank you so much. I know it's disappointing to be facing him with how he is currently but I don't have any other idea but to ask for your help even though the victim is you and the bad person is my brother."

"You asked the right person because if you told my husband about this first, your brother won't just end up being in jail but he might be crippled for the rest of his life."

"I know. That is why I'm calling you. Let me know if there's something I can help you with."

"Hn. Thank you for the information, Cole. You can just go home and spend time with your family. I'll handle the rest."

"Okay. Bye now."

"Bye." Cayenne ended the call and looked towards her husband. "Let's lure him to our trap first. I hate being followed with stalkers." Cayenne put down her phone and smiled evilly. It was the first time she felt a rushing adrenaline with the thought of taking someone down.

"You're starting to act like Jill. It's creepy." Stefan commented which made Cayenne kick his legs under the table. Stefan chuckled happily with her reaction. He pulled her close and let her sat on his lap. "So, what's my wife's plan? Is there anything I can help?"

"I just want to scare him a little." Cayenne told him. "I know that he's become a little bit twisted and mad now but I also knew that he cares for his mother. I don't want them to be separated so let's act before he does."

Cayenne discussed her plans with Stefan while Erwin and Luiz were busy cooking for their dinner.

She didn't only think of plan A but there were plan B and plan C included to make sure that things will work her way. "Birds of a feather flock together." Stefan stated which earned a sharp glare from her. "You don't have to glare at me. Jill was really like you. She's always prepared with different plans in mind."

"Smart woman." Cayenne retorted. "Anyway, I'm not like her. I just know that we're nothing alike. Maybe there are similarities in some things but we're not alike."

"I know. Jill is Jill. My wife is my wife, unique and only one in the world." Stefan kissed her face which made Cayenne raised her brow at him. "Is kissing not allowed."

"No."

"I thought we're okay now."

"We are."

"But why can't I kiss you?"

"Because you're annoying." Cayenne pushed his face away but Stefan held hands and kissed the back of it. "Really annoying."

Stefan grinned at her and stole another kiss on her lips. "You love this annoying man, though."

"Of course. Why else would you be able to stay here? Duh!" Cayenne rolled her eyes at him.

Luiz took a peek of at them and captured them flirting with his camera. "They're fine. They're flirting." He sent this message along with the picture to his brother, Kyle. 'Even though they're married, they still keep flirting with each other. But why don't I have a niece or nephew yet?'
