In a long table beside the indoor poolside was a merry breakfast. Landon is one who laughing a loud among them. Cassie cannot believe what she is seeing. Last night, her father showed such a scene in front of their family friends. And now, everything like nothing happens.

Cassie has done her breakfast and so, she takes a distance from the loud adults and suits herself seated in a couch in front of the pool.

Everything to her is like a dream. She has this feeling that it was waking up from a nightmare, and she doesn't know which one is true. She thought her parents had died and lived alone. But now, if this is a dream, then she prayed that she won't wake up anymore.

"Hi," Quinn joined her on the couch and placed a mug of hot chocolate in front of her.

She blushed. "Thank you."

"Did you sleep well?" Quinn asked afterward.

"Hum!" she nodded, then sip from the mug to hide her flushing cheeks.

Truth is, she hasn't slept last night. Not because her head bothering her, but filled with butterflies as her heart flutters. She cannot forget when Quinn kissed her. Dumbfounded she slapped him. New to this feeling she's very surprised, but Quinn's kisses were sweeter and hot than this hot chocolate she's drinking. With the thought, she almost chokes the hot liquid on her mouth.

No. Her cheeks flushing more with her crazy thoughts. But one thing she could feel. Quinn's kisses seem longing for someone. Maybe she cannot find out as she had collective amnesia. She forgets about him.

"How are you feeling now?" Quinn then asked.

"I am better, bro— um..." She's uncertain if what to call him now she knew who he is to her life. But as thinking he is way older than her, she can't bring herself to call him just by his name.

It amused Quinn. Cassandra is making several expressions, and she still looks very attractive.

But Larry approaches Quinn and then whispered something to him. Cassandra wondered as Quinn got surprised, and a flash of anger registered on his face. Larry and Quinn turn to her.

"Uncle Nicholas called a meeting, we'll leave for now, but we will come back after," he informed Cassandra.

"Hum! Don't worry— Quinn," she said shyly. Finally, she can call him by name.

Quinn smirked. She's learning.

Inside the Library, Butler Pete quickly opens the big monitor screen that hides in one of these walls. They learned that they stressed the signal from the Amazon Forest activated. It will only turn on if someone broke the Security measure the Crow Corporation planted a certain area.

This security system is cannot be detected even ATHENA which the most advanced satellite. It will block any technical device or communication within the area.

And someone shut down the system.

Jessie began reporting the little information he learned.

"Lance Collins found a group of armed men who were entering the sacred forest. Someone is good at a computer who can hack the Amazon system."


"Someone huh?" Quinn's brow rose upward. If Rudolf hearing this, he'll protest and prove no one can surpass him.

"Did Lance still safe?"

"Yes, he is. He can communicate for the last time. He went to a secret safe house under a waterfall. East of Amazon," Jessie shows the whole map of the Amazon forest in Brazil.

"There—" he moves the red light around a certain area. "There is also another safe house, but it is miles away, opposite to this area," he added.

"So then, it will take a while before he could reach Lady Isabella and pass our message?"

"Yes. Unfortunately, we must deal with them first."

"Are they after about the Shamans or Lady Isabella?" someone raises this question.

"Maybe both, or one of them."

"Lance is tailing them. He will try to communicate tonight at midnight."

 "Okay, standby," Nicholas answered.

"We need to send more people as back up, Uncle," Quinn suggested.

"That necessary, Quinn. Lady Isabella's security is above all."

"Cheska was in Mexico, right now," Riley said.

"She flew the night after Uncle Edward's funeral." Levi joined the conversation. He is the youngest among them all.

"Should we send her?" Quinn doesn't agree to put his cousin to a more dangerous mission.

Blaire who followed them as she has a feeling this is very important, someone now calls her phone. She answered it and converse with the caller for ten minutes. After she hangs it up, she shared it with them.

"Cheska said, there are leaders from the Southern America Mafia Alliance who are rising a revolt against the whole Alliance. She began perceiving that they were the ones responsible for this attack. And she volunteered to go to notify Lady Isabella using a different route."

"Is she knew Lady Isabella?" Quinn asked curiously.

Landon and Hendrick exchange gazes, then they nodded. Amazed Quinn left speechless. Still, so many things he needs to know soon. But before anything else, he needs to assure Lady Isabella's safety.

"Jessie, I shall send you to be a backup," Quinn ordered.

"Understood," Jessie replied.

Landon is looking at the monitor screen for a long time now. He once goes to this jungle; studying certain spices of a plant inside that forest.

"Any suggestion, Landon?" Nicholas asked him.

"Ah, no nothing. I just remembered something," he smiled, which makes everyone dropped their mouths on the floor. But Henry who only laughs. 

"Senior, do you need to laugh like that?"

"No. Don't get it wrong. I just know that you remember that time we went for exploration with Hannah," Henry explained. He then turns to his wife who joined them now, and says,  "Remember that time, darling?"

"I do! That was one of a hell adventure!" She remembered very well.

"It was that time…" Landon quoted.

"Yes. It was like a prophecy. A joke we thought," Lily agreed.

"A shaman foretells, that she could finally reincarnate, so the shaman performed a soul binding marriage to you and Hannah," tell Henry.

"And Cassie was born," Lily continued.

"Sounded an exquisite love story!" Blaire praises.

"Of course, we do, Blaire," Landon said. His eyes showed how in love he was to his wife.

Among everyone in that room, Quinn who's astounded the most to the things he heard right now. He's looking at his parents and Lily notices his amazement.

"Quinn, I know you what you were thinking right now. You were curious to know, is it?" Lily asked Quinn who then nodded.

He can't believe it. His parents were also married to this soul binding ritual thing. It excites him.
