Chapter 178 Japan

After crying some more Cassie stood up from the floor and got to get some tea for herself.

"OK, I understand now, but you have to promise me that you will take me on a vacation abroad as soon as possible." She said as she came out of the kitchen with a boiling cup in her hand.

She placed the teabag in the hot water and looked at Jack with puffy eyes.

Jack on the other hand looked at her and narrowed his eyes in a smile, he was happy that she understood and was not forcing him to take her.

He wanted to do everything alone in Nepal if possible.

"Sure." He nodded at her and sat on the sofa again with a smile on his face, he then quickly started to look through all the flights available.

And it only took a few minutes to book a ticket to the place.

"When are you leaving?" Cassie was sitting in front of him, she sipped the last drops of her tea and placed the cup on the table in front.

"Tonight," Jack said looking at her, there was a neutral expression on his face.

Cassie listened to him and took in a deep breath while closing her eyes.

"And when are you gonna be back?" She asked again as she leaned slightly forward.

She didn't wanna stay away from him for too long, even a day without seeing his face felt like a chore to her, That's how much she was addicted to him.

Jack stared at her for a few seconds and after some contemplation replied. "Around a month." He knew that she would be sad by his words, but he wanted to tell her the truth.

As both of them were very close she would be worried if he lied and didn't come on time. Instead, he wanted to surprise her by coming earlier than he told.

He only has nineteen days to find the Ring of Power. And if he couldn't find it on the final day, then he would return as soon as possible and find another way to kill Rick.

Cassie on the other hand when heard his words felt a hollow feeling in her chest, her eyes widened and tears almost fell from her eyes again.

"One month?!" She stood up from her seat and took in a deep breath.

Jack looked at her reaction and sighed, he knew that something like this might happen.

"Yes." Jack nodded at her, he didn't wanna give her any false hope and then later break her heart.

So he decided to tell her a longer time in the first place.

Tears formed in Cassie's eyes as her heart started beating at a rapid pace. She has just argued with him and now he will be gone for a month and she doesn't even have enough time to normalize her feelings.

The argument she just had would definitely eat her from the inside in the following month and she wanted to make up with him.

However, now she doesn't have enough time. Her body slowly moved and stumbled towards him. "Why one month? I am sorry..." She said again as she hugged him tightly.

It was as if he was going away for years.

"It's only one month, I will be back pretty quick," Jack whispered in her ears as he started patting her back.

"One month what?" Suddenly both Jack and Sophie heard another worried tone and they turned their heads around to look at the source of the voice.

It was Susan, she was standing on the side of the sofa with a frown on her face.

Cassie looked at her and quickly wiped her tears. She then moved away from Jack's embrace and stood aside from him.

Jack looked at Susan and stood up from his seat and then moving towards her he placed both of his hands on her shoulders.

"What happened Jack?" Susan looked at him with a worried expression.

Jack sighed at her words, "I am going abroad for a month." He said without giving too much information.

"Why?" Susan raised her brows. She also didn't want Jack to leave.

"It's some work-related stuff." Jack has told them previously that he was an investor and earns most of his money through his phone.

Susan listened to him and stayed silent for a few seconds, after that she moved her hand to his face. "Please stay safe." She said and leaned in, and soon enough gave a little peck on his lips.

"Stay safe? You should try to stop him." Cassie said with a dumbfounded expression on her face.

She didn't think that out of all the people Susan would say these types of words, she and Susan had been living in the same house for the past few weeks and Cassie knew how much Susan loved Jack.

Whenever they are alone Susan always talks about him and whenever she does so she says in a longing manner.

Cassie knows that Susan was deeply in love with Jack and she didn't expect that she would permit Jack so quickly.

"It's ok, he will be back in a month," Susan said as she moved her head and looked at Cassie, there was a small smile on her face and Cassie could feel the pain behind her smile.

She looked at Susan and was about to say something and stopped, as she didn't want Susan to feel bad.

Cassie could tell that behind her smile her heart was hurting even worse than hers, however, she was not bringing it to her face as she didn't wanna be baggage for Jack.

Jack saw both of them and sighed. "Don't worry, I will be back, and you won't even notice the moth passing by." He said and moved away from Susan.

"By the way where is Nicole?" Jack asked.

"She should be upstairs. You should go and meet her while I pack your bags." Cassie said and moved towards her room to prepare the bags for Jack.

Jack nodded at her with a smile and then moved towards Nicole's room and the reaction he got from Nicole was even worse than he expected.

"No, you are not going anywhere without me." Nicole looked at him with her eyes widened and her body was shaking a bit.

"I will be back safe," Jack said as he moved a step closer to her.

"No means no!" Nicole refused him again, she was not in the mood to hear any of his words.

Jack looked at her attitude and furrowed his brows, although he expected some resistance from Nicole, however, he never thought that it would be this much.

He considered her to be a mature and understanding girl, however, he never thought that she would react like this, she was not even ready to listen to him.

"I am sorry but, I have to go," Jack said in a slightly stricter tone. He didn't like this attitude of hers where she refused to listen to him.

Nicole heard his words and widened her eyes, words came from her chest but got stuck in her throat when she saw his annoyed face.

After a pause of a few seconds, she took in a deep breath and calmed down.

"Ok, where are you going?" She asked while crossing her arms in front of her chest.

Jack narrowed his eyes at her question. "What are you planning to do? I don't want you to follow me without my permission." He said, this time even more annoyed than before.

Nicole was the last girl he expected this sort of behaviour from.

"I won't do anything, but I have to at least know where you are going." She asked.

Jack looked at her and sighed. The truth panel on her head was flashing red which meant that she was definitely planning to do something behind his back.

'She was never like this, what happend to her?' Jack thought and took in a deep breath.

"I am going to Japan." He lied as he didn't want her to follow him to Nepal and put her life in danger.

"Where in Japan?" Nicole asked again and kept the focus on his words.

Jack stared at her for a few seconds and sighed. "There are few places I need to visit." He said and took out his phone to look at the time.

"I am sorry, but I have to go now, I am in a hurry." He said and hugged Nicole tightly, 'I have to ask what's the matter with her after I come back from Nepal.' Jack thought and kissed her on the lips.

Nicole savoured his last kiss of the month and kept a grip on his back for a few seconds, not wanting him to leave.

"I love you." She said and finally let go of him.

"I love you too," Jack said and then moved out of the room.

After taking the bags and his other documents he sat in his car and soon enough his car drove towards Meadow's house.

Before he was gone for a month he also wanted to meet Meadow, Susan and Elma for one last time.

....

Back in Jack's mansion, two flying figures floated in the air as they looked at, Nicole, Susan and Cassie.

One of them was blue-eyed Vieva and the other one was Echo.

"So she is the sundress lady you were talking about, so she stops in front of Rick's house every day?" Vieva said as she looked at Nicole.
