She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 203 - PARTY I

"Why am I not getting a reward?" Stefan asked her after taking a shower. He was currently wearing a bathrobe while trapping his wife between his body and their bed. "That's a little bit unfair."

"Darling, my waist still hurts. I am too tired to move. I don't want to do anything so, don't ask for reward alright?"

"Then, does that mean I can work for you tomorrow?" Stefan retorted. "If I can work for you tomorrow, I will get a reward, too. Today plus tomorrow – I can get two rewards."

"Tsk! Behave yourself." Cayenne pinched his cheeks and pushed his chest right after. However, he didn't budge. "What is it?"

"Where is my good night kiss?"

Cayenne cupped his face and was planning to place a light kiss on his lips. When their lips touched, Stefan pressed his body on her and deepened the kiss. It turned into a wet and hot kiss instead.

Cayenne was gasping for air when he pulled away from her. Her cheeks looked a little bit red and her face felt so hot. "A good night kiss shouldn't be a French kiss."

"Why not? We can kiss this way. After all, you're my wife. I don't see any problem doing that."

"Whatever. Just get off from me and let's go to sleep." She was about to cover herself with the quilt when she remembered somethings. "Hon, can I borrow your ring?"

"Hn." Stefan pulled off the ring from his finger and handed it to her. "What are you planning to do with that?"

"Just watch it." Cayenne placed the ring on the table. She did what Celine instructed her to do to confirm about the dragon symbol inside the ring. She did see the dragon carving on Stefan's ring and when she pointed the flash light of her phone into it, the dragon was reflected off to the other ring's inner side. It was fantastic. "The designer is really great."

"Oh! You knew this trick?" Stefan asked unbothered.

"Uh huh. Someone told me how to do this and someone told me that this is one and only wedding ring. I searched for this and how it was created. So, my dear, don't you think you've got some explaining to do for tricking me?"

"I didn't trick you. I just didn't say anything because you will surely contradict my decision." Stefan took back his ring and put it on. "I want to give you the best of everything. What's the use of my money if I can't even buy a decent ring for you?"

Cayenne sighed and smiled faintly. "Alright. I won't say anything regarding this ring but, let's not buy another wedding ring, okay?"

"Why not?" Stefan hugged her waist and placed his chin on her shoulder. "Our marriage wasn't formal at all and I want to give you a grand wedding. So, you should be wearing the best ring."

"And what's the best ring?"

"A ring that is customized for you alone."

Cayenne can't really persuade him out of this matter. "Let's not talk about this for now. We still have so many things to do and we haven't told my parents yet. It's another problem for us."

"When are you planning to tell them about our marriage?"

"I am not sure yet. When I feel that the time is right, I'll let you know and you must cover things up for me or I will kick you out of my room."

"Sure. Sure. Mom can scold me because I'm the one who persuade you in doing this. I won't let her scold you when the time comes."

"You better keep your promise." Cayenne turned to her side and faced him. "Stay by my side forever, will you?"

"Hn. I will never leave you." The two of them cuddled to sleep and rested the night away. Although, Stefan woke up in the middle of the night to relieve himself.

Sleeping with his wife beside him but can't do anything with, it's a bit of a torture for him. Nonetheless, he would rather suffer than add to her pain.

Days passed by quickly and the party that the Dumrique family planned was finally held. This was to welcome the new CEO who will manage all properties and businesses that the Dumrique owns.

The party was held on Saturday at the back of the family mansion since it has a huge space of lawn and the garden was really nice to look at even during the night. People started coming around six in the evening since the party will formally start at seven. Many people came, most of them were businessmen who came with their wife, girlfriend or fiancée. A pianist was invited to play them a song and there was also a singer that Magnus invited to entertain the guest.

"Where's Stefan?" Ferdinand asked his son since it's almost seven and the most important person hasn't arrived.

"He didn't send me any message. I guess he's on his way already." Magnus responded. He was receiving the guests in front of their house and when his father left, it didn't take long and Travis arrived with his wife. "Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. Madrigal." Magnus greeted the two of them.

"Good evening. Is Stefan here already?"

"Not yet but he should be arriving soon." Magnus replied. "Come inside. You can treat yourself to some food and wine while waiting."

"Thank you." Jillyanna mumbled and walked inside the house while holding on to her husband's arm.

On the other hand, Stefan and Cayenne hadn't left the house yet. She just got better from her sore waist but now, she was having menstrual cramps. Usually, when she got menstrual cramps it would happen when Stefan wasn't around and he never noticed it before as well.

This time, he's been with her the whole day and he had been paying attention to her. He finally knew what happens to her when she's having her period.

"Ayen, wait for a while. I'll make some ginger soup." He was wiping her forehead which was covered with cold sweats before leaving the room. 'Good Lord, please don't let her suffer.' He chanted this prayer mentally while going to the kitchen.
