The Devil JOVE's
70. Sharing Stories

Franklin opened the car door for his boss as soon as they reached the main house residence. Yes, they went straight here after his boss finished speaking one eye to Mr. Cadenza.

“Tonight make sure Casandra gets to see the show right, Frank. I want him to know that in our world there is no place for a traitor!” jove said before stepping into the house to meet her parents.

“Good, Sir. You don't worry about this problem. I make sure Miss Casandra will remember the events of the night until the end of her breath,” said Franklin while nodding her head.

Jove threw the cigarette butt out of his hand. While removing his sunglasses, Jove walked past the servants and also the guards who came to welcome. And as soon as she reached the living room, Jove's arrival was greeted by a warm scene where the mother was sitting gracefully while smiling lightly at her.

“Welcome, Jove. How are you?” greet Rose full of longing. She then extended her hands to hug Jove as her son crouched down before her. “Your face looks uncomfortable. What's up, hem? What is it that makes your son look unhappy?”

“I don't know if I should consider my news good or bad, Mother. And it's about Casandra,” replied Jove honestly. He then placed his head on the lap of the mother, as if implying that his heart was in a state of turmoil. “Casandra's not doing well right now, Mom. And most likely this neglect will continue until the end of his breath!”

Rose immediately frowned confused at Jove's words. Fearing that something bad had happened to the rescue woman of her son, Rose asked Jove to explain in detail what was going on in the life of her future daughter-in-law. While talking, don't forget Rose stroked Jove's hair full of affection. A love that Jove never showed to anyone but herself.

“What movement happened to your future daughter-in-law that made you so restless, Jove? Tell a story. If you can, I will definitely help you,”

“Mother, do you believe in the curse connected to eternity?” ask Jove. He then looked up. “I just spoke to Mr. Cadenza. And my original purpose in meeting him was to hear the reason why until this moment Casandra still did not know that the blood flowing in her body was very special. But what I heard from Mr. Cadenza really made me feel very unsettled. Because in addition to the rare blood possessed by Casandra, the Lin family still holds another secret where the secret can be very dangerous if it gets known by others!”

“Curse and immortality?” Rose. “Although I can't be sure of the truth, but I do believe that the curse and immortality do exist. Even without us realizing the two things coexist with our daily lives. But Jove, what does Casandra have to do with those two things? Did you mean to tell Mom that the Lin family is descended from a vampire family?”

“No, Mother. That's not what I wanted to tell Mom!”

“Then?”

Before continuing the conversation, Jove made sure that no one else could hear her conversation with her. To be honest, Jove became unsettled after Mr. Cadenza told him all the secrets that were sealed in his family. And since this is related to Casandra's life, Jove needs to make sure that no one other than her parents knows that the depletion of blood in Casandra's body can make her experience eternal life.

“Jove, why? What's the matter, baby?” rose asked curiously to see Jove's other attitude than usual. Even Rose followed closely to look around the living room of his house as was being done by Jove.

“Bu, which I will say will have a very dangerous impact if heard by others. Therefore I need to make sure there are only two of us here!” jove replied half a whisper.

Responding to Jove's wishes, Rose immediately pressed the button hidden under the living room table. Shortly after, the entire room was covered in a layer of transparent glass shaped like a thin curtain.

“Now we are safe. This curtain won't let anyone out of point hear what we're talking about. Get started!” rose said with a difficult view to understand.

Jove breathed deeply. Because he felt unsettled, he forgot that his mother's house was guarded with cutting-edge tools that only exist in this house. Clutching his mother's hand, Jove immediately recounted his conversation with Mr. Cadenza.

“Is there a way to stop Casandra's suffering if we get to her later?” rose was a little shocked to hear Jove's words. Rose's whole life, only once did she hear something that made her hair stand up all over. It was only fitting that his son looked so agitated earlier. Turns out this is the cause.

“Master Cadenza told me that the only way to break the curse was to burn Casandra alive. But Mother, could it be that we are able to do it? Casandra is not part of the business that I am in, it is impossible that I can do that to her,” replied Jove as she clenched her teeth.

There must be a way out of this. Mona had also chosen to end her life after she knew that the chain of the sect would continue to entangle her at any moment. But now Casandra's case is very much different from that experienced by Mona. What should I do to help Jove?

“Jove, you just said that terrible thing will happen if the blood in Casandra's body is taken out until it is not left. If that's true, we should be able to handle this matter so that Casandra doesn't have to go through that eternity. Right no?” ask Rose who accidentally found a gap in Casandra's problem.

“How, Mom?”

“We don't take blood from Casandra's body anymore. I think this method is effective enough to prevent Casandra from having to end up with a tragic death. Just think about what Mom really said. You do need Casandra's blood mixture so that Pamela can make an antidote for the poison in your body. And we shouldn't have to take out the blood in Casandra's body if it was just for that. Just a little bit according to the needs you need. How?”

Jove silently pondered the way her mother thought. Also true. Why hasn't he thought about going that way? Was it because she was too shocked to think about Casandra's suffering to the point that Jove lost her focus? I don't know, Jove doesn't know. She could only hope that her mother's words could really save Casandra from her tragic death.

“Bu, I agree with Mom's thoughts. We can prevent the curse by not taking at will Casandra's blood. That way he does not need to go through a terrible time as told by Mr. Cadenza earlier. Yes ‘kan?” jove said with a faint smile. “You really are amazing, Mother. In just a short time you can find a way out for the problems that have plagued my mind. Thank you very much, Mother. I love you,”

“Hmmmm, be careful when expressing love to Mom. If your father had heard it, he would have gone berserk. Do you know for yourself that your father is so jealous?” olok Rose was relieved to see her son was not as frustrated as before.

“I'm used to receiving such treatment from Dad. So I'm not surprised anymore,”

“Basic of you,”

After saying such a thing Rose affectionately rubbed her son's handsome face. Although Jove was already someone with a power that many feared, still in the eyes of Rose Jove was her adorable little son.

“Remember the message Mom is fine, Jove. Even though your status is now very high, do not hesitate to come to ask Mom for help. You're Mom's son, so don't ever feel shy or embarrassed about sharing your problems. Go home, then tell me you want me to help you. Understand?”

“Good, Mother. I know that only Mom understands what I need and want the most. Thank you,”

Perhaps if this situation was seen by the enemies of Jove, they would all definitely laugh at him straight away. But know friends, actually a child will still be a child in front of his parents. Especially in women who have given birth and raised it until this second. If some people will consider this as a weakness, different things are felt by a Jove Alexander Lorenzo. Under her mother's boundless affection, Jove was able to hold half the contents of this world. That's why Jove can only bow to her mother's orders. The happiness of the mother is half of her life.
