Chapter 144 - I HAVE THE FINAL SAY

"I'm not nagging. I just want to make sure that he's alright." Cayenne retorted.

Kyle leaned on the broom he was holding and looked towards his sister. "His secretary came over. Just like you, he nagged him about his medicine. Stefan took it after Mr. Secretary threatened him to tell you if he would be stubborn. I can say that Stefan cares so much about your opinion on him. Also, I helped him redress his wound with clean gauze."

"Oh. Thank you."? Cayenne responded. "By the way, classes will resume two days from now. Do you need anything? For projects or other school matter; etc."

"None so far. We saved a lot in the last two months and we've finished all our projects and assignments. Thanks to your boyfriend for giving us a laptop."

"I see. You have to thank him later. Not me." After resting for a while, she stood up from her seat and helped out her mother to cook food for their lunch.

At the Dumrique's family villa, Stefan came with his secretary. He was wearing a black denim pants, a white long-sleeved polo shirt, gray knitted scarf and a brown long coat; paired with brown leather shoes. His already handsome face became even more handsome and many new female servants drooled over him.

It's been over a decade since he came back to his house and this was the first time that they saw Stefan in person. The head of the maids told them not to ask questions about the Dumrique family and they weren't allowed to talk about Stefan Dumrique inside the villa. Therefore, even though the maids knew who Stefan was, they didn't talk about him. They could only read the news of this willful young master from the media.

In their opinion, Stefan was someone who was stubborn, willful, ungrateful and disrespectful. And no matter how handsome he was, there's just too many negative things about him.

"This should be a family lunch. We won't be talking about business so, you don't have to bring your secretary." Magnus commented. He was facing his son but he was looking towards Chris.

Stefan didn't listen to his words or more-likely, didn't care about him. "He's my secretary. I have the final say whether he should come or not."

"This is my family villa. I have the final say and the right to choose who I wanted to come inside." Magnus responded with a thunderous voice. He was clearly angry seeing that Stefan had no plan to back off.

"Well, I'll come again when you've changed your mind." He instantly turned around and retraced his steps. He was not showing any respect at all. He lost all his respect and care about the family that he never belonged to. Even now, they never thought of him as family. He's just one of their chess pieces.

Magnus' facial expression changed. His face paled, then it turned red in anger. "Stop right there!" He shouted. Stefan did stop and turned back but he only showed a bored expression. "Bring your secretary if you want."

Stefan smirked and went back. He directly walked upstairs to his old room without greeting anyone in the living room. Chris was following behind him.

"I'm sorry for the commotion." Magnus apologized to the other people inside the house.

"That's alright. We don't mind it." They continued to chat since the lunch wasn't served yet.

Stefan, on the other hand, opened the door to his room.

"Wew! Looks like you are very important." Chris commented sarcastically. The room looked so old and dusty. When he ran his fingers on top of the cabinet beside him, dust accumulated on his fingers.

It was just what Stefan had in his memories. The bedsheet was plain white but now it turned a bit yellowish or brownish because of the 15 year-worth of dust. The pillows were the same. His clothes, the one that Alexander gave him, were okay since he put them inside a huge plastic bag before putting them inside his drawer. His shoes and other stuff were also very dusty. There were cobwebs and spiders clinging on the walls and the ceiling.

"Right. I'm very important in this family." Stefan commented after a little while. "Help me later. I want to bring some of my most valuable things to the new house."

"Sure." Chris answered instantly. "I saw Ms. Hilary Reid among the guests of your family and her family is here, too. I think she's the candidate."

"I have the same idea as you."

"But, I think she's married." Chris said in a whisper. "I'm not sure but, I've seen her with a man before and she was wearing a wedding ring."

"Really?"

"I'll ask Valkyrie about it. I've heard that they didn't go with the Madrigals for vacation this time."

"Alright. You can contact him." Stefan responded while taking most of his stuff out of the cabinets and drawers and placed them on his bed. He sorted them out as to which he can bring or he can leave for good.

'Knock! Knock! Knock!'

Stefan opened the door only to find Clara standing outside of his room. "Lunch is ready. You have to eat with us." Her facial expression changed again and again but one thing he recognized the most was guilt. But Stefan didn't care about that.

"Okay." He looked back and turned to Chris. "Are you done with your call? Let's go downstairs."

"Valkyrie said that he'll send us the documents in less than an hour."

"Alright. Let's go down and eat. We need to leave as soon as possible or Ayen will be worried again." He intentionally mentioned Cayenne's name to see what would be Clara's reaction but she was just indifferent.

In fact, Stefan thought that she'd leave after telling him to come out for lunch. He didn't expect that she'd stay to wait them. And most of all, he didn't expect that she'd come over to personally invite him for lunch.

'Pretentious and hypocrite.' Stefan commented mentally while giving Clara a side glance who remained quiet all the time.
