CASSIE'S POV
She was mesmerized by how beautiful the structures of this church in every detail. It was too breathtaking beautifully.
"They are beautiful isn't it?"
She looks up to her uncle Martin then nodded and smiled happily.
Today is her mom's birthday. Her uncle Martin decided to bring her to Rome, Italy to tour her around at the St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Church. She looks up and tried to capture everything by her eyes those impressive statues and beautiful paintings on the wall.
Cassie follows her uncle who showed her every part of this church. She also eagerly listens to the tourist guides who explain each statue and paintings to the tourists from around the world.
"Come, this is your mom's favorite the most," Martin told her. It was very beautiful. She wanders her eyes and she quickly turns around when her eyes caught a familiar person.
"Cassie? Why are you hiding? Do you have a fever? Why your face is red?" her uncle Martin asks her a lot of question.
She just shook her head, her face is red because she blushes. She saw him again, even here? Cassie never thinks she could see him here. His back facing her direction and currently looking to a certain painting. He was standing behind a wheelchair, pushing a middle-aged woman and so she wonders if she is his mother... also, there are a lot of bodyguards around them, they were looks like unordinary family.
Cassie reaches her chest and asked herself why does her heart beating like this? And why she is hiding at her uncle by the way? Cassie takes a peep once more to the man she often crosses the path back in Paris. Though she wasn't sure he recognizes her, most of the time she would hide instantly when she got a glimpse of him...

Shun places her gently on the bed and kisses her forehead afterward. She seems exhausted to their date today. He brought her to the museum after they visited the church in the late afternoon.
He phoned the Head Security to borrow the National Museum in the evening... but after Cassie saw the replica of Hannah's favorite painting, she burst out in tears. She misses her mom badly. Shun tightly hold her and let her cry all she wanted.
"Let me change your clothes, I'll get your pajamas," but Cassie holds him when he is about to get off from the bed.
"Can I take a bath first?" she requested. Cassie sounded very tired.
"Alright. Let us use the jacuzzi tonight." Shun left her and went to the bathroom to fill the tub and turn on the jacuzzi, in this way, Cassie will get relax.
He carried Cassie to the bathroom and place on the tub extension to take off her clothes. Cassie was blushing and he tempted to kiss her, but he understands she wasn't in the mood tonight.
He guided her inside the jacuzzi tub then wrapped her body while letting the hot water relax their tense muscles. Shun stroking her back and sometimes giving her light kisses.
"Do you want some dinner afterward? You have to eat even just a little. I will ask someone to fix something," he wanted to do it but he is worried to leave her alone.
"Later," Cassie replied lazily. She draws a line on his chest that sent him on fire. He sighed.
He sits still on the tub and controls himself, he just wanted to put her in the mood, she is not smiling yet.
Unconsciously, Cassie continues touching his chest. He just pressed his lips and continue sighing.
"Ahm... can I ask something?"
"Hm? Of course," he replied, curious what she will go to ask him and hope it's not a difficult one.
"When you visited the Basilica in Rome, you were with a middle-aged woman, is she your aunt right? Does she still alive?" Cassie heard from brother Daichi that both of his parents died in a car crash as well, like her parents. She is kind of curious because she is worried if Shun's aunt going to like her.
Cassie did not hear an answer from Shun, she decided to look up and she was surprised how he was like tearing up any moment. She watches him lowering his head and waited to give her sweet kisses.

Shun's POV
He runs down the stairs and steps out as fast from the De La Rue mansion as everyone waiting already. He went home to Italy late last night because he promises to his aunt Lily to accompany her to go to visit the Basilica today as her 55th birthday. Escorted by four other cars, Shun step inside to the car in the middle where Lady Lily already waiting.
"I'm sorry aunt Lily, I did not awake early." Shun takes the seat across here.
"What are you talking about? I know you are busy, but you still insisted to accompany me today," the Lady said.
"That's okay aunt Lily, I also wanted to visit the church today," he smiled at the woman. Today is Hannah's birthday as well... and he wanted to light a candle then offers a prayer for his mama Hannah.
He glanced at Riley and nodded to Lily's personal assistant at the same time, her bodyguard.
"Shun, when do you plan to get married?" Lady Lily asked suddenly.
His mouth dropped. Why in all the places and all the time, today is the day Lily will ask him a very difficult question.
"Am not saying this as a tradition as we are a member of the aristocrat families and to have an heir to continue our family's Legacy is necessary. You can start looking for a suitable wife among our business partners or distant relatives. Am not forcing you a marriage if you don't like, but maybe you could find a suitable wife and maybe fall in love with her?"
Shun stays silent. He wasn't sure how to make an excuse to his aunt about this. He is not interested in dating anyone or thinking to get married.
"Shun?" Lily is waiting for his answer.
"Am sorry, aunt Lily. I... still haven't think about it yet, because right now, I just wanted to see my sister and to find her," he answered politely. He knew the couple expects him to do something like this after agreeing to become their adopted son.
"I see... just tell me if you wanted me to look for her and I will help you," Lily smiled.
He was surprised and touch how his aunt concerned about him. The Lady knew how he was looking for Cassandra. "Thank you, Aunt Lily."
"Then, Riley... why don't you help to find her sister?" Lily turns to Riley who seated next to her and silently listening to their conversation. "Cassandra is her name, right?" Lily glanced to Shun.
"Yes, aunt Lily. Cassandra Marivella Chen Young," he replied quickly.
"Hmm... very sounds familiar. Anyway, help to find her Riley, can you?"
"I was told by the Chairman to just exclusively work for you, as you requested milady, then I will assign some people I know to investigate her whereabouts in Paris," Riley answered her Mistress.
"Shun, am hoping for your consideration to get married soon... I hope you understand," Lily smiled.
Shun nodded. He hid his worries of disagreeing his aunt about an arranged marriage, because one thing he sure of, he just wanted to marry someone he loves very much...
Their car had stop and that ended his thoughts, they have now arrived at the Basilica. Shun step out from the car and run to the other door to get Lily out of it. Her car is made for her as convenient as using a wheelchair. Shun pushing Lily's wheelchair toward the church.
After the Holy Mass, Lily requested to see all the paintings inside this church. He looks around and walks towards a certain one which he knew it was Hannah's favorite painting.
"Mama, please rest in peace with Papa Landon, I will promise to find her. I will do everything to protect her and love her the way I know." Shun prayed in front of Madonna and the Child painting.
"Cassie, where do you want to eat?"
Shun heard an Asian speaker use the language he knew. He tried to look around but it was too crowded by the tourists today, he can't find who spoke that language.
Ah... even hearing that language made him misses her badly.
"Where are you now?" his heart whispered...
