The commotion on their side garnered attention from the other visitors. Many people came to see what was going on but when they saw that one of the men held gun over a woman, they were all frightened.
"What\'s going on over there? Are they fighting over a woman? In this broad daylight?" Cielo asked when she saw what was happening from a distance.
"The woman seemed unconscious." Jenny commented while looking at what happened as well. Since the woman\'s back was facing them, they didn\'t know that it was Cayenne at all.
It wasn\'t until Jade looked for her Auntie that they noticed she was missing.
"Where\'s auntie Yen?" She asked Riley but Riley was busy looking at the pictures she didn\'t know where Cayenne was. Jade went to Brown and asked again. She looked for her until she found Stefan. "Uncle, where\'s Auntie Yen?"
"I\'m looking for her as well." Stefan told Jade while looking around the place. Right at this moment, his phone rang and it was one of the secret guards. "What happened?" Stefan asked directly without beating around the bush.
"Sir, the target was able to get inside the resort. He\'s currently taking the madam hostage. He\'ll kill her if we won\'t let him take her away."
"Where are you right now?"
"Where at the beach front. More or less fifty meters away from the pool."
"Wait for me there." Stefan stuffed his phone back and ran away. Jade was still looking for Cayenne and seeing Stefan\'s anxious face, she knew that something happened. She ran back to where her parents were and told them what happened based on her observation. She didn\'t get to her the conversation through the phone but she knew that it was related to Cayenne because she\'s the most important to Stefan.
Jillyanna handed her son to her mother, Sky, and dragged Riley to the beach front. Just like how Jade describe it, Cayenne was indeed with a man but she seemed unconscious.
"Arthur, please put down your gun. I don\'t want us to fight in here. Ayen wouldn\'t want you to drag anyone else into this mess." Stefan stated while walking towards Arthur and his wife with caution.
Arthur didn\'t lower his gun instead, he pointed it towards Stefan. "You took her away from me. Isn\'t just right for me to get back what I owned?"
"Excuse me?" Stefan was stupefied with Arthur\'s reason. "You never owned my wife. She was never yours and to make my point, you left her. You abandoned her when she needed you the most. You left. And to begin with, there\'s nothing between you two."
"I told her that I\'d come back and get her." Arthur retorted. "I promised that we\'d leave the city together and make our family. I promised her."
"Arthur, you should know that Cayenne felt tired waiting with no communication from you. And she never said anything about those promises."
"Just because she didn\'t say anything doesn\'t mean it didn\'t exist!" Arthur shouted and shot Stefan. Thankfully, he wasn\'t good at his aim. Instead of shooting Stefan\'s heart, he missed shot his shoulder instead. Stefan took few steps back from the impact of the bullet. He didn\'t expect that Arthur would really shoot him.
"Only one person can have Cayenne but if I can\'t have her, I might as well kill her." Arthur crouched down and looked at Cayenne\'s unconscious figure.
Jillyanna was about to take a sneak attack when Travis stopped her. "Darling, what do you think you\'re doing?" Travis asked Jillyanna while holding her hand which was holding a flower vase. "You\'re planning to hit him with that?"
"Yeah. I\'m really good with my aim." Jillyanna replied with no trace of guilt or anxiety. "We\'ll settle this later. You\'ll have to answer me why this guy got his way inside the property."
"I can explain it now." Travis mentioned.
"No, I\'m busy. You take care of the children and make sure that Jade isn\'t watching. I\'ll be right back." Jillyanna yanked her arms from Travis left.
Arthur sensed that someone was approaching him from behind. He immediately moved to the side, and had his back facing the sea. It was way better and he could see everyone aiming at him. He saw Jillyanna holding a ceramic vase and couldn\'t help himself but laugh.
"Mrs. Madrigal is really a good friend. You were trying to hit me because I hit Yenyen, right?"
"Duh! Everyone\'s a good friend to Cayenne but you." Jillyanna retorted while rolling her eyes. "She trusted you so much and she was very proud to have you as a friend. I really pity her for not seeing your true color."
Her words were quite effective because Arthur seemed to be dumbfounded. He started to lower his hand but when he noticed someone moving, he\'d raise it again. "Liar! Cayenne knew that I belittled her. She\'ll never see me as a friend."
"She was indeed hurt that you belittled her but she never thought of breaking up ties with you. She even asked Stefan to never hurt your business again because you were always there for her to help her. She remembered the good times she had with you instead of you belittling her. Why else would she be in that state? It\'s because she never put up her guard against you. She was so confident that you\'ll never hurt her. Sadly, she\'s wrong. Yen doesn\'t know how to see people\'s soul." Jillyanna talked and talked, spouting whatever that came into mind even though she had no idea about Arthur belittling Cayenne. She was just going along with him, using his own words to attack where it hurts.
While talking, the sound of the waves crashing on the shore also added to the noise around them. Arthur didn\'t notice that a good man, who saw the commotion while swimming from a distance was inching his way towards him from the sea. Because of the waves, any noise coming from his man was canceled by the waves.
"Gotcha!" The man tackled Arthur and brought him to the sea. He was bigger compared to Arthur and it seemed like he was knowledgeable when it comes to self-defense. Not five minutes later, Arthur\'s hand was bound tightly with a rope and his gun was taken away by Lucian.
"Sorry, I still won Cayenne in the end." Stefan whispered when he passed by Arthur\'s side, carrying his wife in his arms.
