My Stubborn Mistress 405 Somewhere, Trapped In Time: Are We Going To Murder Them?

Butler Leroy placed the tray with four teacups and a tea pitcher in front of his masters. He bowed and left them alone but behind him to guard the door.

When Madison and Levi were approaching, he bowed and opened the door.

"Papa? You want to talk with me?"

"Madison, come here." He gestured to s.p.a.ce next to him.

Later Madison sits next to Quinn, Levi takes the single couch next to Quinn.

"Um…" her gaze was at Nicholas. She knows already that Nicholas is her older brother. She has now realized why she always has this feeling around him.

"Madison, your brother has something to give you," he began.

"Hm? What is it?" Still, she is shy to call Nicholas a brother. Who would have thought the Mafia King is her older brother? Someone from the past reborn in the present life. She glances at him, and Nicholas smiled. Butler Ivan then placed a wooden box on the table which made her curious about it.

"This belongs to you," said Nicholas. "After I was reborn in this life, I waited to gain the power to gather all the information about the past I left."

Confused, Madison pulls the box closer to her. She opened the cover with throbbing fingers. Instantly, tears flooded her eyes.

She picks up the cloth and draws it close to her heart. "Mama…" she continued crying for a few minutes.

Quinn reaches her back; he's giving her a warm hug. Finally, she had it again. The face veil Marivella made for her. She has it back after 240 years.

She can't stop her tears. Abruptly, she stood on her feet and ran toward Nicholas. She put her arms around him.

"Brother Adam!"

Nicholas cannot hold his tears. She now remembered his actual name, Adam Williams. He died with a heavy heart, and full of antic.i.p.ation; might something happened to her when they got separated. And when he was reborn, all he thinks every day is his sister he left in the past. After long years: watching her from a distance, watched her growing until today, and finally has an end to this secret.

Madison let him wiped her tears.

"No wonder, Lady Isabella always reminded me ever since I was a kid, that I should never touch or hold you."

Nicholas brushes off Madison's tears and then says. "Yes. You will find out who I am."

"I'm sorry if I didn't recognize you."

"It is not the right time, back then," Nicholas softly gazes at her. He misses her and even after her reincarnation, he can't just come close to her.

"Now I understand why we keep coming back to that year. So we know that Carlisle and Marivella have a firstborn." Levi commented.

"It seems, yes," Quinn agreed.

"Could be Ca.s.sie's disappearance is a way for us to discover there is such a thing about time travel?" Levi's conclusion.

Quinn contemplates about it, then replied. "Or to find out there is a life that supposes not exist anymore."

"It seems you are correct, brother Quinn."

In the middle of their conversation, Quinn's phone rings.

"h.e.l.lo, Jessie? Yes. Understood. It was good news. Thank you."

"Papa?"

"The rebellion has finally retreated. They now secured Lady Isabella and soon, she can come back."

"That's wonderful news, papa. I'm happy she was fine."

"We can bring her home soon, and we can ask her if what she finds out," Nicholas spoke.

Madison nodded at him. "Hopefully, Lady Isabella knows how to bring Mama back to the present life, and she won't travel back there."

"Madison, about this matter. I came up with an idea," Quinn said and glanced at Nicholas.

"Yes, we came up to a conclusion," Nicholas seconded.

She implied that something is going on with these men.

"I'm thinking, to kill myself and Ca.s.sandra in that life."

"What?" she made an abrupt stand.

Quinn explained. "Maybe it is the way to seal that life."

"But? What will happen then?" she can't believe their plans are something like this.

"Lady Isabella could seek the guidance of the Shamans to how we can carry out this plan."

"However, I can't take you both to where Mama is."

"If we can find out that one twin could travel... then, maybe we could demand either of them, to kill us in that life."

"Are we really going to murder you and mama?" Madison asked hysterically.

"Maybe this is the answer, and then, Ca.s.sandra from our present life won't leave us anymore."

"But, Papa?"

"I know it will be hard. That's why we have to discuss it over with Lady Isabella's presence."

Madison purses her lips. She can't believe they came to this kind of idea.

Nicholas watches her closely. He reached for Madison's hands and squeezed them. "If it is for the best. That life is no longer exists, but only a reflection of our life. It is more likely a hallucination of someone who doesn't want to let go."

"Are you saying that, he who built that world?"

"More likely, the fragmented soul left behind after the RESET Life. A part of him probably hoping that he could change everything. Let him build his world, holding the hope to bring back what he lost."

Madison pursing an expression that this is unbelievable.

"I guess I have to wake up. That everything is more likely only a memory in the shadow."

"Shun likely lives inside a crystal ball. Having everything as he remembers from life before RESET."

"Alright, I slowly understood everything now. But can't we find another way or a way to enter that life? Or is it because he yearns to be with Mama, and it drew her to that life?"

"By now, she's the only one who can cross that time after we save the Ca.s.sie there, one time."

"Hmm… is something not right? During our first travels?" Madison mumbles fell in deep thoughts.

"Maybe saving her what messed everything up?" Quinn's opinion.

"That would be possible," Levi retorted. "How if we didn't save her, but she just died since the very beginning?"

"Hmm…" all of them cannot figure it out.

"But…"

Everyone looks at Quinn. "I switched to his body one time."

"That's right! Maybe we should just do that, brother Quinn?"

"When you switch bodies, we will explain to him the truth." Nicholas retorted.

"But how can we do that?" asked Levi. He's pondering a possibility to cross the bridge to that life from this life.

"Let me recall. I can switch the body with him because of the Blue Moon back in the past."

"Blue Moon? I don't think there will be a Blue Moon in the next few days."

"But the Blue Moon in the past!"

"However, we don't know what time of year the next time Ca.s.sandra to travel time. She just randomly switched bodies with her."

"That's right. And before that, there is a Blood Moon."

"The Blood Moon is when the reset happens."

The four of them exchange gazes. They have to make a better plan to make everything effective.

Meanwhile, below the library, Ken is looking up at the window. He wondered what important matter they were discussing. They were putting up too much security, and they were very careful to expose anything, especially when another Ca.s.sandra is here. 

Ken glance at Ca.s.sie who quietly reading a book. He noticed that Ca.s.sie's shoulders are shaking.

"Ca.s.sie, what are you read--?" The book is blank, but she keeps flipping the pages. Ken thought. "Ca.s.sie?"

She looks up, and her eyes filled with tears.
