Cayenne and Stefan didn't notice the man who was walking towards from their side. The two were so focus on themselves, ignoring other unimportant presence.

  Cayenne didn't expect to see Arthur this time and looking at his get up, it seemed like he came from or maybe he came for an important meeting with someone.

  Stefan gently pulled Cayenne behind him, hindering the man from seeing her. "So, what if we're married and what if we're not? I can call her wife because that's what she is to me."

  Arthur chuckled loudly, a little bit mocking and contemptuous towards Stefan. "You can call her wife today but we don't know about that the next day."

  "Are you declaring a war against me?" Stefan retorted with an obvious smirk. "I don't think you have the chance. Cayenne doesn't even want to see you."

  Arthur's face dropped and turned cold as he looked towards Cayenne but Stefan blocked his sight towards his wife. 'So, she's still avoiding me after what happened.' Arthur thought to himself. He took a step forwards and stretched his hand to get hold of Cayenne.

  "What are you doing?" Stefan caught Arthur's hand and pushed him away from them. "How dare you try touching my girl right in front of me? Do you want to die that much because I can definitely send you to hell!"

  "I want to talk to her."

  "She doesn't even want to see you and tha-"

  "She didn't say it herself. She doesn't want to see me or you don't want her to see me? Do you think I'm blind? I can see you're manipulating her."

  "Hey Arthur!" Cayenne yelled at him angrily. She stepped out from hiding behind her husband and faced the annoying guy head on. "Can you stop appearing in front of me?! I haven't forgotten what you said to me in the hotel. Do you think I'd just forgive you because we're friends? Come on, you wave to wake up. We were once friends but your mother broke that relationship five years ago. And you know what, I have realized that she was very kind to me for doing that. If she didn't, I would never know that you were actually looking down on me." She took another step and looked at him straight in the eyes. Her anger was like a fire burning and soaring from the depths of her heart, reflected on her clear brown eyes. "Anyway, let's just part ways while we're all cool-headed, shall we? I don't really don't want to make things difficult for you since my mother likes you so much. I didn't even tell her how you mocked me last time in order to not ruin her opinion of you. I don't really care if you're close with her or not. Also, don't appear in front of my husband in the future. I don't want him to be annoyed by you."

  "Hear that?" Stefan added in mocking. "My wife says it just like how you wanted. So, you can get lost now." Stefan waved his hand in dismissal as if he was shooing a dog away from them.

  Arthur gritted his teeth in front of them and turned around to leave the place. 'I will make sure to end your happiness. She can only be mine.' Arthur thought as he walked away from them.

  "Arthur?" a woman called for him at the lobby and when he turned around to see who it was, his face turned from sour to happiness.

  "Auntie. What a coincidence!" He strode towards her and gave her a warm hug. "Happy birthday."

  "Thank you." Emerald smiled at the man. "Did you have a meeting with someone here?"

  "Oh yes! I'm on my way to meet someone."

  "Wow! I'm glad that you're having a meeting here. Once you're done with your meeting, would you like to have some afternoon tea time with me?"

  "Sure. I will never refuse your invitation auntie. I'll call you once I'm done, alright?"

  "Okay."

  Arthur left the lobby and went to the hotel restaurant. He wasn't really meeting with someone because he met her already. And there's a plus to it because he met Stefan as well. He thought that it was just a normal family trip and he didn't know that Stefan would be with Cayenne. "Tsk! So annoying!" Arthur cussed while looking at the menu on his hand.

  After two hours, Arthur sent a message to Emerald, stating that he was done with work but since it's a little late for afternoon tea time, he suggested to have dinner instead. 'It would be good to have dinner with Yen again.' He told himself while smiling foolishly with his phone in hand.

  "Sorry, Arthur. I didn't know that there's a party made for me and I'm getting ready to attend it. Can you come instead? I would be very happy if you come to celebrate my birthday." This was Emerald's reply to his message. He paid for his food, left the restaurant and went to get something from his car. It was the gift that he readied for Emerald.

  He already calculated that this would happen so he came with something for the celebrant. Cayenne and Stefan wouldn't be able to get rid of her because he's Emerald's guests. "I'm so smart." Arthur commented towards himself with a proud look on his face.

  He didn't come back so soon. He waited for another hour before going back to the resort. 'Based on my observation, the place where I met Cayenne and Stefan should be the venue for this party.' He mentally noted as he walked down the lobby and to the corridor on the East Wing. And he was right. He found a lot of people there and Emerald was sitting happily on her chair, chatting with a cute little girl beside him.

  "Arthur." Emerald waved her hands when she spotted him. "Come over here."

  "Auntie, I'm a little bit sad that we can't have dinner together but since it's your birthday, I won't mind it." He handed his gift to her. "This is for you. Happy birthday."

  Cayenne took a deep breath and sighed. Her mother really knows when to ruin her mood.
