She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 251 - ONLY MY WIFE CAN SAY THOSE WORDS TO ME

"Why don't you ask your secretary? He was with you last night. He tried stopping you from speaking but you said those words anyway."

Stefan touched his pocket but he couldn't find his phone. "I'll go back home for now." He stood up and walked towards the door.

"If you want to find her, Reuben Montefalco, that's the lead for you to start looking for her." Travis gave him another chance to make up with Cayenne but the decision still lies in her hand. Whether she forgives him and start over again with him, or just completely ignore him, it's up to her.

Stefan left Venus Industrial Plaza HQ and went to Peach Wood. Even if Cayenne wasn't there, it was still a place that he built for the two of them. He wanted to stay there.

Chris was outside the house, waiting for him to come back. "Sir, I tried calling you but you didn't answer your phone. Did you know the news about Cayenne's mother?"

"Hn."

"Where's Cayenne?"

"I don't know." Stefan got inside the house and closed the door, not letting Chris come inside with him. He went to the master bedroom and found several items on top of Cayenne's bedside table. What stood out among all these was the ring that he gave her. "Did I really push her to this extent? Did I really tell her that I wanted a divorce?"

Stefan sat on the table and took the divorce papers. It had her name signed on it already. His vision became blurry and hot tears fell on the papers he was holding. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. Ayen, I don't want to divorce you. Please come back to me." He clutched on the papers, as if it will give him the answer to his prayer.

The bracelet that he gave her and the card was on the table as well. And there was a key. He read the letter that Cayenne left and anger rose to his chest. He wasn't angry to her but to himself. He wanted to punch himself or just dig his heart and give it to her but how can he give her heart when he didn't even know where to find her.

"Reuben Montefalco." Stefan murmured these words before collapsing on his bed.

In the outskirts of City B, Cayenne and her brothers arrived to their new house. It was far from the city but Cayenne loved the location so she didn't mind. The only problem was her brother's education. They'd have to commute to City A from their new house which will take them three hours.

The house was fully furnished and there were appliances ready for them. It was obviously bought not long ago because they were still inside their boxes. And the house was well-maintained, no dust or dirt were accumulated even though no one lived there.

"The three of us will be living here from now on." Cayenne stated as she slumped on the couch.? "When will you guys go back to school?"

"Next week." Luiz and Kyle answered in unison.

"I see. I'll look for a new apartment where you guys can stay during weekdays."

"There's no need to do that, Yen. We will just apply to stay in the school dorm and we'll come home during weekends." Kyle told their sister what he and Luiz had planned. "Instead of spending our money for the apartment we can save it instead."

"That sounds good. Alright, let's unpack our stuff and take a good rest in our new home."

In the Madrigal mansion, Jillyanna was having afternoon snacks with Reuben. "Is she staying in the new house?" Jillyanna asked the man in front of her.

"Hn. She agreed. Mrs. Madrigal, thank you for always helping me."

"I'm not helping you Mr. Montefalco. I'm just helping Cayenne. Anyway, if Stefan comes to find you for help, please don't give him a hard time. Cayenne must be hurting because of him but I know she still cares for him. If you give him a hard time, your daughter might resent you."

"I understand."

Travis told Stefan that he had no intention of helping and that's the same with Jillyanna. But in truth, they were still helping him in some other ways.

Three days passed and Monday came. Luiz and Kyle had packed their stuff for school already and they were prepared to stay in the dorm. Which means, Cayenne will be left alone during weekdays.

Monday is working day. Stefan went to attend meeting in his company but he wasn't listening at all. He was just staring into space and most of the time, it was Chris who was talking to the shareholders. He notes all the information during the meeting and asked copies of the presentation as well, just in case Stefan asked for these things later.

While they were having a meeting, Chris's assistant came inside and told him something which made him frown. He relayed this message to Stefan as well, not omitting or adding a single word to it.

The CEO who had been quiet the while time suddenly stood up in anger. "Take a break. Let's resume the meeting after half an hour." He left the meeting room and went to the visitor's lounge in a hurry.

"Good morning, Mr. Dumrique."

"What are you doing here?" Stefan's anger and disgust towards Seiji was apparent. He didn't even try hiding his hate from him.

"I heard that you have divorced my darling Cayenne in exchange for my shares. I'm here to give you back the shares I bought."

"You must have heard the wrong thing." Stefan retorted and the sneer on his lips was so clear for Seiji to see. "I didn't divorce my wife. I don't need those shares back either. You can keep it to yourself. I don't care if you will try attacking all my businesses. I won't divorce my wife. Not now and not in the future."

"Cayenne doesn't love you!" Seiji blurted out in anger. He was so angry that he wanted to punch the smile on Stefan's lips but he knew he'd be in disadvantage because it wasn't his turf.

Stefan stood up and fixed his suit. "Whether she loves me or not, it's not for you to say. Only my wife can say those words to me."
