Cayenne as working when she heard about the news of Clara getting arrested. The thing that Stefan wanted her to see was actually the destruction of his stepmother.
When interviewed, Magnus feigned ignorance shocked about what has happened. He even told the reporters that he didn't know where his wife went and who she was meeting with. He looked devastated when he found the truth of the death of his beloved Latticia. The reason why he believed she was alive was because he didn't see her body when she was buried six feet below the ground.
He thought that it was possible that someone must have mistakenly identified his girl. The truth brought him twice the pain that he felt when she left. The little light of hope that he was holding on to was completely extinguished.
"I pity her husband. He had no idea that the woman he loved so much ever since he was young was killed by his wife."
"She even slept with her best friend's boyfriend, it's not a surprise to me that she'd also take someone away just to make him the father of her child who came from someone else' anatomy."
"The children were the ones affected the most. I heard that the youngest son never received love from his family ever since he was brought back by his father. The person who was very close to him was not his blood-relative, too. And in the end, that person died as well after knowing the crime his mother had committed."
"So many things had happened to his life, no wonder he left his home and decided to work while studying. I heard that it was Mr. Madrigal who came to his rescue."
"Aren't they rival in business?"
"Nope. In fact, they're very close."
People talked about the Dumrique and the Minato family. They talked about so many things as if they knew them that much when in fact, they just heard it from other people, too. Although, they weren't really wrong about it.
Clara, along with her family, were sentenced to life imprisonment after getting many evidences of different crimes they were involved, big or small, there were just so many that the Crime Division Officers that Lucian handled were shaking their heads in disbelief.
As for her father, he was still on the run so, they were still looking for him but it was already taken into account that his punishment won't be lighter than his daughter.
After receiving their punishment, Magnus visited the jail but he didn't visit his wife, instead he asked for someone else, a woman who was known to boss around the people inside the jail.
"Make sure that she won't have the chance to kill herself and possible, torture every day. You don't have to do many physical tortures; verbal abuse and some chores can totally break her down. And please add a little pleasure in it. After all, my wife likes it so much. I'll send money to your family every month if you can do it."
"How much?" the lady whispered.
"Deal." The lady agreed immediately. The money is already enough for her two sons to get by for the whole month. Magnus handed her a bag and when she looked at it, she couldn't help but smile in a twisted manner. "You don't love her."
"I don't. She killed the woman that I really love. It's just a little payback for what she did."
"Alright." The lady, without further questions, stood up from her seat. "Can you give my sons a little deposit?"
"Sure." Magnus pulled out his phone and sent $1000 to unnamed bank account. But the lady was very familiar with it because it was her son's account. "You can call him for verification."
"Hn. I'll do that next time." When the lady went back to her cell, she revealed a satisfying smile. 'Mr. Dumrique really knew who to choose.' She thought to herself and walked towards her bed. She was sharing the same cell with Clara. Even though she was already imprisoned, she still liked to act like a high and mighty little princess.
'Looks like I have to teach her a lesson and instill it in her mind and body.'
Clara will learn a lot of chores inside the prison and at the same time getting pleasures from her cellmates. Whether she wants it or not, she didn't really have the choice to refuse and she can't ask for help either because she's too embarrassed to tell the officers. Therefore, she will have to endure the assaults done by her cellmates to her.
Anyway, Cayenne and Stefan no longer cared about her. They have their own lives and several matters that they needed to face themselves. One of these matters was going to the Dumrique family.
This whole week passed with so many large news and most of them involved the Minato Clan. After destroying this family, Stefan was finally at ease. Either he will get the inheritance of the Dumrique family or not, he didn't really care. He's got enough money to spoil his wife for several lifetimes.
It was Saturday already and Cayenne was preparing to go with Stefan back to the villa where he used to stay when he was young. If it was fifteen years ago, he'd willingly call it home because Alexander was there with him but now, the man's gone and he's got no one there. It's just a house to him not a home.
Even though he found out the truth, to him, Alexander was still his brother. He didn't care if he was related to him by blood or not. He will remain in his heart and in his mind.
"Are you sure we don't need to bring any gift for your family?" Cayenne asked him. Even though he didn't like his family for bullying Stefan, they're still elders.
"Don't worry about that. I got your back. Don't bring anything it's just a hassle and they have money, they can just buy whatever they want. Stop thinking about them."
