My Stubborn Mistress

Shun's fingers trace the photo frame. In one glimpse, their lives changes. Shun stays looking at the photo frame when Blaire entered the room.

"Brother?"

Blaire examines her brother. He was looking at that photo again. When he misses Cassie, he will consume himself to look at those photos.

But what now? He has the real one inside of his mansion. She saw it a few times before, the photos taken during Cassie's 12th Birthday.

Her brother took a chance to sneak out from the Williams' Security. With the help of his friends, Shun able to see the Young family for the last time. However, when the time her brother finally becomes happy is the saddest news followed.

The Young family died. Somehow, Cassie survived, yet, they are clueless. Martin Castillo who only knew what exactly happens six years ago after Shun's meeting with the Young family, but he died as well because of Lydia Castillo.

Cassie seems to lose her memories during that time, including their meeting with Shun. She still can't remember him. She may have temporary amnesia that only forgetting some events of her life.

Shun looks up and asked her, "What is it, Blaire?"

"Do you want the meeting to cancel? I think it's better to do that," her brother looks exhausted.

"Okay, good idea," he agreed.

"How about lunch? Any particular Cassie would like?"

"Ah... asked Daichi and Rudolf to make. She would eat anything that cooks well."

"I see... Okay, I'll help them."

"That's good," Shun smiled tiredly.

"Why don't you go and get rest instead?"

"Yeah. I'll do that..."

"Alright, am leaving now."

Shun nodded. He put the photo frame inside his vault then took a few folders out. He scanned the doc.u.ments. These are the files Landon Young left him after he died.

He made two different Will of Testaments, one stating that if the rest of them died; Hannah, Landon, and Cassie... Landon left him the choices to pursue the Kang's to get all Young's assets and shares. Landon left him everything the Young owns. And the second testament's says; if Cassandra survives, and live, and reach the age of 21, Landon requesting him to help and protect Cassandra from the Kang's, and get what was for the Young's for Cassandra's future. Landon appointed him as Cassandra's guardian.

Shun put back the doc.u.ments inside his vault under his table. Those time, he has no power yet. A nameless one. He rose from his seat and step out from the study room.

And now, he's doing this all not because Landon Young requested him to protect his daughter. Shun is doing this for himself.

Shun opens Cassandra's bedroom. He saw her resting on the headboard, pillow on her l.a.p then read a book. She seems engrossed to what she's reading so he makes silent steps and quietly sits beside her.

He saw it was a Health book, not surprising. Shun smiled. His fingers comb the strands of hair covering Cassandra's face. She looks up and takes a glance at him. She stared for a moment then tilted her head on the side.

"Are you okay? Is everything alright?" she asks.

"Yes. Nothing is better than now," he answered. "Come..."

"Hmm?"

"Turn a little," he asked her to do.

"Okay..." Cassie just does what Shun asked. She wonders why then he felt Shun began braiding her hair. She was surprised and blushing.

"Am glad your hair is long again."

"Huh?"

"Ah... nothing..." Cassandra... if you have forgotten what happens six years ago, then let's make new memories. Shun thought. He kisses her head.

Shun was resting on the headboard and she was leaning on him facing her back, she leans on his shoulder with her right side. Shun did not move anymore, she looks up and takes a glance at him.

Did he fall asleep? He looks exhausted. Running a big corporation then taking care of her, he did so much for her.

She could feel how violent the weather outside... but in Shun's arms, she felt so much comfort and security.

'Dear God, please... don't take him away from me...'

Her silent prayer before she closes her eyes. They stayed like that in the next hour.

Blaire knocks on the door but no one is answering. She pushes the door opens just to found her brother and Cassie sleeping while leaning on the headboard. She smiled and just let them have their moments. Blaire closes the door silently.
