Chapter 8 - Chapter 7

Cadence and Jasper went straight to the airport as the others were waiting for them. Not long when they boarded their private plane, He slept the entire duration of their flight since.

They were at the airport when he woke up. He was very exhausted because the flight took them for over 12 hours. He was off his phone since he knew that one of his flings will gonna disturb him and his dad won't like him.

"What about Cara, Uncle?" Jake asked his father Cleverence, who was busy with his phone.

Cadence snapped when he remembered his sister, who seems to be distracted when he brought her home in the morning when she slept at his flat. He had noticed that when she woke up sit felt like his sister became clingy to him, Cara was just that when there's something wrong with her.

"I left her some securities to secure her," His father said, which made Cadence a little at ease, but there was still inside of him saying that he needs to go back to his sister.

"You should have left me with Cara, Dad," Cadence said, which made his father look at him and frown.

"How can I leave you with your sister after what all of you did the last time?" His dad said as he hissed at him. He was pertaining to the incident when they went to the bar and some paparazzi spotted them.

Cadence thought his father would forget about but, it seems like he underestimated him and forgot that his father has some excellent memory.

"We should've taken her with us, Dad, " Carl said as he looked at his father.

"Haven't you heard what I said? If we took her with us, there's a big chance that she'll remember everything." Their father as he frowned at his older brother, who seems to forget their sister's condition.

"But, I thought were gonna have some business to talk about here, Uncle," Jasper said as he was eating some lollipops.

"No, your pappoús told us to do something here. According to Nicholaus, one head of your pappoús opponent was seen here," Cleverence said as they continued.

They were now walking to the airport as one of their men will fetch them there.

"How about uncle Julius, Dad?" His brother again asked their dad.

"He's already there and waiting for us as per your uncle Corion, your brother Cane, and your cousin Jaguar. Well, your uncle needs to be with his family since his twin sons were still young and your Aunt Milliana was always busy with her shop and knowing your uncle, who was afraid of your aunt, he would not go here with us. And knowing Jaguar and Code, of course, they were somewhere there in the jungle." Cleverence said as they got from the airport and they walk near to the limousine, which was now waiting for them.

AETHER

Aether who was now inside the apartment that she is renting near her school, Aether was feeling tired as she just got home from her school.

As usual, Marie and her squad always make fun of her. She's actually getting tired of them.

Ever since they were little, Marie was so insecure with her, she's always competing in every aspect with her.

Aether went to change her clothes into her pajamas, as she was going to do some of her school projects.

She was still busy doing all of it along with her homework when her phone rings.

Aether looked at the caller's name, and she smiled when he saw who it was.

"Good evening, Abuelo" Aether greets the person who is her sponsor, her Abuelo Argus prepares her to call him that.

"You forgot that it's morning here, nieta," Her Abuelo chuckled as he replied to her.

"Lo Siento, Abuelo. I forgot that we lived in different time zone," Aether said as she laughed at him.

"That's alright, how's your study?" Her Abuelo asked her.

"It's a little bit tiring but, I'll strive," Aether said as she chuckled at what she said in the last sentence.

"Is your allowance still enough for you? " Her Abuelo asked her as he was always worrying if the allowance he was giving to her was not enough, when in fact it was more than enough but, every time she would complain that he was giving her too much, she can hear his sigh from the other phone.

"It's more than enough, Abuelo, and doesn't raise it, I was more than thank you that you've been helping me and my family ever since, so don't think of raising my allowance more," Aether said with a full of emotions.

She can hear some sigh from the other line as she said those words. She knew by now that he was going to be sad again.

"I just want you to have a comfortable life while studying, Nieta," Her Abuelo said as he sighed again.

*****

Meanwhile, the Monteclaro's arrived at one of their hotels in UAE, Julius was already there when they arrived, and Also Nicholaus.

"Have you got the information about them?" Cleverence asked his brother, who was now eating some food.

Cadence looks at his uncle, and he looked at his cousin Jasper who was now not on his back, when he turned again to see his uncle Jasper was already beside his father and was eating some desserts with him, no wonder they were father and son, he was wondering how on earth Jaguar and Jake was different from their father, maybe they get more on his aunt side, their aunt Sienna was on the serious side, too good that she can handle her son and her husband's behavior.

"Oh, come on, brother! Chill, eat first. You guys just arrived and aren't having some jet lag?" Julius said to his brother as he was offering him the food that he already ordered when he arrived at the hotel a while ago with Nicholaus.

Jake, on the other side, felt his temple hurt. How can his father and his brother act so childishly? He caresses his temple subconsciously.

Cleverence glared at his brother, who was now offering them some food, their father sent them on a mission to kill one of their organization's enemies, and here is his brother acting as if he was on some sort of vacation.
