Chapter 246 - JONAS SLYVESTER

Cayenne bought some food and fruits on her way to visit Jonas. She didn\'t want to come with nothing but bad news. Although Jonas wasn\'t her real father and even though he added to her mother\'s burden, she still knew that her mother loves him. In fact, he was the only one who thought of him as a burden.

"Good morning, chief." Cayenne greeted the chief police officer as she strode inside. "I\'m here to visit Jonas Slyvester."

"Alright. Just wait for him at the visitor\'s lounge. I\'ll have someone get him for you."

"Thank you." Cayenne turned to the left wing were the visitor\'s lounge was located. There were other people visiting their family member as well. She didn\'t wait for a long time. Jonas was escorted with another officer and brought him to the lounge. "Hello, Jonas."

"You\'ve grown." Jonas commented the moment he saw her. "It\'s been a long time since I saw you. What brings you here?"

"I\'m wondering if you can ask for a leave." She started. "Mother died three days ago."

Jonas was stunned with her words. She didn\'t even try delaying this news from him. "I…I…why?"

"You know that she got ill, right?"

"Yes, I know about that. But she told me that she was getting better. Luiz and Kyle said the same thing to me. How did she die all of a sudden? And why did you just tell me about this now?"

"We got so busy dealing a lot of things because of her sudden death. We forgot to tell you. Luiz and Kyle are both devastated. As the remaining parent, I was hoping for you to come and give them words of comfort. But I am not sure if that\'s even possible."

"I don\'t think that\'s possible, Yen. After all, I was imprisoned for murder."

Cayenne nodded her head. She only visited Jonas once and that five years ago. When Jonas was sent to prison she was just eight years old. She had no idea why she was sent to prison but she also hated him for it because he left her mother all alone. Her mother was left with the men she loved. Up until now, she never tried asking him about the reason why he was put to jail and who she murdered. She didn\'t ask her mother or brothers as well.

"By the way, I know that it\'s too late to ask you this but I didn\'t really have the chance to ask in the past. Jonas, why are you sent to jail? Who did you murder? I never talked with my mother and brothers about this because this a sensitive topic to them. But I just want to know a little bit this time."

"About that –"

\'Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.\'

Cayenne looked at her phone and found Stefan\'s name flashing on the screen. "Just give me a moment." Cayenne told Jonas and turned to the side to press the answer button. "Hi. What took you so long to call me?"

"I was really busy the past few days. Where are you now? I\'ll come and get you."

"You\'re back?!" Cayenne\'s eyes lit up as soon as she heard his last statement. "I\'ll send you the address. I have something to tell you as well. Come and find me soon. I missed you."

"I am missing you every second of the day, darling. Wait for me." Stefan hang up and waited for the message from her. When he received it, his face fell. "Why is she in city jail?" Stefan asked himself this question. "Chris, let\'s go and hurry to the city jail."

"Okay."

Cayenne put down her phone on the table, which was right in front of Jonas, letting him see the wallpaper on her screen.

"Yen, what\'s your relationship with this man?" Jonas asked while pointing on her wallpaper.

Cayenne\'s face brightened when she was asked this question. If it was before, she would be worried how to explain things but since Stefan chose to come out to the public, she decided to go along with his decision. Answering to Jonas, the smile on her face was even sweet. "Stefan is my husband. We got married over a month ago. But it was a secret marriage so we didn\'t tell you."

"Your husband?" Jonas asked with a horrified expression. His eyes were so wide that Cayenne was afraid his eyeballs would come out of the socket. "How did you guys know each other?"

"I worked for him. We fell in love and we decided to get married. Why? Are you not happy for me?"

"Of…of course, I am happy for you. I\'m happy. Congrats." Jonas smiled but his smile couldn\'t hide the worry on his face.

"Just tell me what exactly you think. Although it won\'t affect my relationship with him, I still want to know about your opinion." Cayenne insisted. Even though he wasn\'t her own father, Cayenne wanted to get an impression from her stepfather\'s point of view.

"I am really happy for you, Yen. The man who will love you will be very lucky because you are pretty, kind, caring and you are very optimistic in life. But –"

"But?" Cayenne asked, trying to encourage him to continue his words.

"But Stefan Dumrique is – "

"Jonas Slyvester?" Cayenne had her back facing the door so she didn\'t see Stefan coming inside. The moment she turned around to face him, his face was red from anger and there were veins bulging on his clenched fists.

Jonas was also surprised to see the young master that he served fifteen years ago standing in front of him. In the whole Dumrique clan, Stefan was the person that Jonas didn\'t want to see the most. He disappointed him. He hurt him by killing Alexander.

Cayenne looked towards Stefan then shifted her gaze to Jonas. There were alarm bells ringing in her mind as she tried to understand the situation. "This can\'t be. Tell me that what I\'m thinking is wrong." She sounded desperate and scared. She looked towards Jonas with hope in her eyes. "The person you killed, it couldn\'t be Alexander, right?"
