She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 165 - FAMILY AGAINST FAMILY

In the study room of the Dumrique's family villa, Magnus and his father, Ferdinand, were sitting across the table with the crumpled documents spread across the table.

Clara went out with her friends so the two men took this chance to have a serious talk about a serious matter.

"Dad, recently, we've been getting a bouquet of black roses. The first three bouquets, I have asked someone to throw them away so, I didn't know what were written on the notes if there were. The fourth bouquet, I got a note and I already shredded it to avoid Clara getting her hands on it. The fifth bouquet was made of these paper flowers and I was told to read them. When I opened the documents, these were the things that I have seen." Magnus gave his father brief description of his experience in the past few days.

"Do you have any idea who sent them?" the old Ferdinand asked his son while skimming over the documents in front of him. He didn't read the remaining documents because he knew what it was all about. Magnus just shook his head. He wouldn't tell his father about Latticia being alive yet.

Ferdinand took a deep breath and sighed. "Do you know why I have been so strict with Stefan when he was still young and why I suggested for you to take him back no matter what happens?"

True, it was his father who told him to get his son after Latticia died. He reminded him again and again that he needed to get Stefan no matter what happens. And it was also true that he was very strict when it comes to Stefan's education but Stefan seemed to misunderstood him. The stricter they were on him, the more distance he put between him and his family, except Alexander.

Ferdinand continued, "Alexander was admitted to the hospital when he was just five years old because of dengue. Everyone was worried because we all know that dengue is very deadly if the patient is not treated in a timely manner. At that time, the doctor said that Clara didn't have the same blood type as Alexander so, I was expecting that she'd come to you for help since it's possible that you have the same blood type as Alexander because you are his father. I waited for the doctor to come and find you but they didn't. So, I secretly followed Clara every time she went somewhere alone. That's when I found out that she was asking him from her third uncle. And I was bothered with it. You can ask help from your family but you didn't have to do it secretly, you know. My intuition told me that something was off. I told you that you needed to donate blood for Alexander but in truth, I asked a different doctor to conduct DNA between you and Alexander. And this is the result." Ferdinand pointed his finger on the negative result written on the paper.

Magnus was thrown in disbelief. The family that he chose to form was all fake. And he even sacrificed his love for a b*tch. "Why didn't you tell me?" he asked his father. "If you told me that time, Latticia wouldn't have died. I would have a happy family with her. Me, Stefan and her. We were supposed to form a happy family."

"I couldn't. I didn't want our family scandal to become a food for gossip. I can't allow that to happen. I can't let anyone know that I was fooled."

"But people will still know about this in the end." Magnus stated. "It's time to put an end to all of this. I don't want my one and only son to suffer injustice."

"Do whatever you want. I'm old anyway. I don't have much time to live. I don't care anymore."

Because of his father's affirmation, Magnus already formed a plan. He won't sign the transfer of share agreement that Clara has with the Minato group, instead he will make them fall to hell while they were still living. He dialed a string of number on his phone and instructed him to dug out as much dirt as he could to all the people inside the Minato Group and the Minato family. It's payback time.

The person he called was none other than Shein. He knew that he was the most capable person when it comes to hacking because his name was listed among the top hackers all over the world. He just didn't know the real person behind the hacker's identity.

When Shein received his call, he told Stefan about his father's order.

"Looks like your father is taking everyone to hell." Shein commented while his fingers flew across his keyboard as he gathered a lot of information from different places.

"He can do whatever he wants. Since he couldn't protect my mother, he should ruin whatever happiness he's left with." Stefan responded. "Anyway, I won't get involve on it. Let me know once he makes a move against the Minato Group and the Minato family. I will send the evidence to the police station."

"Sure. Sure." Shein added. "Also, if Cayenne wants to know about her father, just tell her to call me. I have found some news. But she must take the initiative."

"Got it." Stefan ended the call and focused on his work. Cayenne was there in his arms, sleeping comfortably while hugging him. 'I want this cute little squirrel to come and cling to me all day.' Stefan thought to himself while kissing the top of her head, her nose and her cheeks. "Wake up my dear little queen. We need to eat lunch."

'Knock! Knock! Knock!'

Stefan pressed the button under his table to open the locked door. And what Chris saw blinded him for a moment. "Geez! Be mindful of the single ghost here."

"I thought you're married." Stefan teased Chris knowing that the man was single. The married thing was just part of his fake identity. In fact, he always comes home to an empty and cold apartment.
