Chapter 799 - 799 A FORGOTTEN MEMORY

799 A FORGOTTEN MEMORY

Even if it was Stefan’s birthday party, Cayenne made sure that the kids who came with their parents will enjoy the event as well. She invited a clown who can play magic tricks and a game organizer who thinks of games that both adults and kids could enjoy. She didn’t like parties that focuses on chats between businesses and other huge matters that has no relation to having fun. What was fun chatting about company assets, stock prices, and whatnot? In her opinion, there was none.

Stefan learned that Luna would be getting married to Ali soon and he sent them his congratulatory message. Luna was once his employee and she was a good friend to Cayenne. Learning that she was finally settling down after all the trouble she went through; he was happy for them.

In the past years since they have known Stefan, Monet and Thomas never really celebrated his birthday because Stefan hated it and they respected his decision. However, they made sure to give him gifts to remind him that they still care for him. That continued for many years until he met Cayenne. He was able to celebrate his birthday twice and he enjoyed every moment of it.

Currently, Monet wasn’t allowed to leave the hospital yet so they could only send him a gift that he will surely like. It was a pair of a canvas bags. Stefan likes to bring stuff for Cayenne that she tends to forget and he has a separate bag for that. Now, it was time to change it. The bag’s print was the same as their phone cases and it was big enough to store extra clothes, an insulated tumbler, and other things. When Monet asked someone to customize it, she already imagined how cute Stefan would be while carrying this bag and with Cayenne walking beside him. Since they couldn’t come, they only sent him a video greeting which Cayenne asked from them.

Most of the dishes that Cayenne asked the chef to prepare were Stefan’s favorites but most of the desserts were hers. Stefan wasn’t really fond of sweets but he would eat a little once in a while to join his wife. He believed that when you’re eating with someone you love, no matter how simple the meal is, it’s delicious and you’ll enjoy every mouthful you eat. At the same time, no matter how delicious the food is, if you are eating alone, the food won’t really taste good. So, don’t be surprised if he would always clings to his wife.

Around 9:00 in the evening, David suggested that the couple take a picture together to remember this day. Cayenne thought it was a good idea but she wanted all the guests to be part of it. Thus, it was concluded that they would take pictures with Cayenne and Stefan in a group.

First, it was Stefan’s father and grandfather who took a photo with him and Cayenne. Then, it was followed by his maternal family. Stefan thought; how wonderful it would be if my mom is here? Apparently, since he grew fond of Dr. Albert’s wife, Cayenne invited the couple to attend Stefan’s birthday but Dr. Albert said that they couldn’t come because his wife felt a little under the weather. In truth, he talked to Latticia about it and he told her not to come or Magnus might recognize her. She didn’t want her ex-lover to recognize her at all. She was fine with her being dead and buried in his mind and heart.

The last to take pictures with the couple was Cayenne’s family. There was no special reason for it. They just wanted to take the last spot.

It was getting late in the evening and Stefan was worried that Cayenne was getting tired. Since they both decided to stay the night in the presidential suite, Stefan agreed to continue the party until 10:00 PM. No more, no less.

.....

As soon as everyone went home, Cayenne and Stefan returned to the suite and changed their clothes. Even though her feet weren’t really tired, Stefan still massaged them for her. She had been out in the sun for a long time and wasn’t able to take a rest because of the event. It wasn’t good for her to take a shower at this point. He could only wipe her body to make sure that she will be able to sleep comfortably.

No matter how excited he was to see the gifts he received, his wife was still the most important person to him. Other things and other people could wait.

That evening, although they talked about doing some evil things to each other before the party started, both of them fell asleep almost immediately. Stefan just hugged his wife to sleep without doing anything else.

That night, he dreamed of his first birthday with Alexander and Magnus. Clara didn’t like Stefan, which isn’t really a wonder anymore, and because of that, she never allowed him to celebrate his birthday. She’s got so many excuses to stop Magnus from giving Stefan a party.

It was his 8th birthday and she has no knowledge of it. She was out with her friends, having tea time and gossip, when Magnus came home to the villa without telling her. That day, he brought a lot of things for a party but no one knew about it because he placed them inside his backpack. For Stefan, it was a huge crime to keep a secret from Clara because he will be slapped or whipped if she knows it.

Then, Alexander told him that only the three of them knows about this party. Instead of throwing a birthday celebration out in the open; they decorated Stefan’s room with balloons and posters. Magnus gave their helpers a day off that day and since it was just the three of them, he cooked food for his boys. Ferdinand was playing golf with his friends so he had no idea what was happening in his home.

Back in the villa, Alexander ordered a birthday cake for Stefan. When it was delivered, he had to ask the security guard to turn off the CCTV camera at the gate for 5 minutes, and he ran as fast as he could to get the item, handed the money and ran back inside the house again while yelling to the driver not to bother with the change.

That day, his father and brother sang him a happy birthday, something he never heard in the past 7 years of his life. The three of them played games and whoever won would receive money from his father. Before Clara came home, Alexander and Magnus gave Stefan their gift and took a picture with him.

It was the last happy birthday he ever celebrated with them. The next time was something he never wanted to remember and from then on, everything started falling apart.
