She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 585 - CAPPADOCIA II

"I never thought I'd experience this lavish lifestyle in my life. Thank you so much for bringing me here." Veronica mentioned while taking pictures of her food and the interior of the restaurant. "I won't bother think of the price for the whole duration of our stay because I know I wouldn't be able to come up with that amount of money in my life."

"I can totally relate to you." Cayenne responded. "I'll turn a blind eye to the total amount of bill which will be deducted to his card later on."

"Stop talking about the amount of money." Marian stated. "Just think of the moment and the experience you get in return. Why are you so worried when you're not the one paying for it? Your husband didn't even say anything."

"Absolutely right." Stefan expressed his agreement. "I didn't mention anything so don't talk about it." He said while placing more food on Cayenne's plate. Her food was already forming a little mountain. "Eat more."

"Are you raising a pig?"

"Yes. You are my pig. My cute little pig with no fats."

"Hmp!" she started eating with her plump cheeks, looking like a cute little hamster that Stefan used to call her whenever she eats desserts before.

After their lunch, they went back to their rooms, telling each other that they needed to rest and adjust their body to the time zone. Among the four of them, when they reached their rooms, only Marian took a rest as soon as they got back. She knew that she needed to store up some energy because of her frail condition. She didn't want to drag others just because she's a patient.

Veronica took pictures in every place that her eyes could lay. At the same time, she'd check on Marian from time to time, making sure that she was sleeping comfortably without having cold sweats.

Because of her illness, Marian sweats a lot and sometimes, she'd catch a fever out of nowhere. She'll have bruised skin everywhere and sometimes, she'd even bleed. If she didn't put lip gloss on her lips, one would know that she's really pale. Veronica's job was to make sure that Marian was constantly monitored in order for them to know if they needed immediate medical help.

Meanwhile, in the next room where Cayenne and Stefan stayed, the couple was staring at each other. Stefan was urging his wife to sleep for at least three hours and Cayenne really wanted to try getting some sleep but her mind would wander off to the beautiful place and she couldn't sleep. She had been taking pictures of the place, took selfie of herself and with Stefan, and also took pictures of him secretly. She did nothing but take pictures here and there.

Now, the two of them played a staring game of who will give in first. "Maybe I'd be sleepy later if take a walk outside and tire myself out. What do you think?" Cayenne asked, her eyes hopeful and was anticipating for him to agree.

Instead, Stefan leaned closer and whispered on her ear. "I think I know a better way to tire you out. Do you want to try it?" He bit her earlobe a little which made Cayenne back away from him. "Hmm? What do you think?"

"I think I'll get some sleep. I feel tired all of a sudden." Cayenne scampered away and got on the bed to take a rest. She even closed her eyes tightly.

Stefan chuckled at her response and went to bed as well. He gently rubbed her hair and massaged her scalp, making Cayenne fell asleep not long after.

Stefan was the first place to wake up around 3:30 in the afternoon. When he looked at the woman in his arms, the corner of his lips was pulled to a smile. 'Not sleepy, huh? Now you're sleeping so peacefully.' He kissed the tip of her nose before removing his arms away from her, slowly as best as he could. Cayenne stirred for a moment but she didn't wake up.

Stefan took a shower, chose his clothes and also prepared Cayenne's change of clothes based on his outfit. No matter when and where, he'd always like to wear matching outfit with his wife.

'We'll be going outside later. I'm planning to tour them around and probably have dinner outside.' Stefan sent this message to John, not really if the man was awake at the moment to read the message.

Half an hour later, when Cayenne woke up, John also sent a message to Stefan. Thankfully, they didn't leave yet. He sent the details to the man before preparing a warm bath for his wife.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" Cayenne mumbled while pulling out the bathrobe from the wardrobe. "I slept so much all the way 'til 4:00"

"It's fine. There's no need to be worried. We still have time to enjoy the scenery."

"Did you inform Mariana and Veronica?"

"Hn. I sent them a message already."

Cayenne didn't say anything anymore and just soaked in the warm bath prepared for her.

When they're all set to go, Stefan sent a message to John, telling him that they're leaving already. Apparently, the man was already at the lobby of the hotel entrance, waiting for them to pass by.

Marian still had no idea about this but it didn't take long for her to notice this anomaly. As they walked outside, enjoying the scenery, she felt that someone's been eyeing her. Whenever she looked back, all she could see were the bodyguards who were following them.

'Weird.' Marian thought and just walked along side Cayenne. From time to time, they'd make a stop, take pictures as a group, have selfies and pictures by pair. And since it was to make a dream come true for Cayenne and Marian, Stefan made sure to take lost of photos with the two of them.

As they continued their tour, they arrived in an antique shop. They went inside to take a look and perhaps buy something that they'd be interested. At this point, Marian was really sure that someone has been following them. When no one was watching, she hid behind some shelves and observed the people's reaction. Veronica was looking around to find her mistress as for Cayenne and Stefan, they were relaxed because the bodyguards were the door.

At the same time, one guy was also looking around as if in panic. He was wearing a black cap, a face mask and a dark eyeglass. Even though it was getting darker outside, he didn't remove his shades.

'Why didn't the bodyguard deal with this person?' She thought while observing the man. She was becoming intrigued buy she didn't make a move. She just hid there, watching him like an eagle watching his prey.

All of a sudden, the man approached Cayenne and Stefan. He removed his mask and shades. He seems agitated as he looked around the place. Then and there, she caught sight of his face. She instantly covered her mouth from shock as her eyes go wide. "Why is he here? What is he doing here? How did he know Cayenne and Stefan?" She put things two and two together and realization hits her. "They didn't invite him to come as well, right?"

She decided to hide for a while and observe more but Veronica suddenly appeared behind her and poked her back. "Young miss, why –"

"Jesus!"

"What? I just want to ask why are you hiding."

"I'm not hiding. I'm looking for something interesting." Marian replied and grabbed an old-looking heart-shaped padlock from the shelf. "I'm interested with this." She said and grabbed Veronica's arm. "Let's go over there and check for more items."

She didn't notice that next to the old-looking heart was an old-looking key. When she left to find something else with Veronica, John also arrived at the shelf with Cayenne and Stefan. He looked at the key with great interest and picked it up. "I'll have her keep this key to my heart."

"That's if she'll accept it.." Cayenne retorted with a smirk.
