She's My Sleeping Pill

“Do you believe with what she said?” Travis questioned, playing with the pen in his hand. It was rotating between his index fingers and thumb. “She’s probably being held prisoner in exchange of her family’s welfare and a huge amount of money.”

“I agree on that.” Erwin commented. “She has a child and a mother. All these years, she raised the child on her own but it wasn’t until this moment that she started looking for Mr. Summer. She probably wanted him to take care of their child if something happens to her.”

“So, there’s a small quantity of the poison she made but her boss said that he’d use it in the prison for Napoleone. It’s obviously a lie.”

Vincent heaved a deep sigh and touched the back of his neck. “Aside from your family, does Napoleone have someone else in life?”

Stefan pondered over this question but he didn’t remember anyone from his memories. “I spent little time with my family because of so many things. I didn’t know much about them and I didn’t bother checking on them either.”

Vincent just nodded his head without making any comment about Stefan’s family circumstances.

.....

“Let’s coordinate with the P country’s government. Surely, they knew something.” Top suggested to them. “If we coordinate with their government, we will have a free pass with to their islands.”

“I heard that their country’s president is difficult to deal with.” Erwin stated in worry.

“If he’s a person who cares about his people, he should give us some time to speak.” Stefan responded to them.

“Let’s ask Tristan to negotiate for an appointment.” Travis added solemnly.

“Got it.” Tristan muttered while listening to the meeting through his headphone. He was doing multiple tasks while Eliezer watches him in awe.

Cayenne was supposed to go to the university but because of the impending danger and Stefan’s sudden meeting involving their safety, she had to miss another day of her class.

“I’m home.” Jade greeted them happily when she arrived from school. It was the last day of class for the primary students at Trine Elite University. “Auntie Yen, you didn’t go to school today?”

“Me? I had to leave school because something bad happen.”

“Is that why dad and uncle aren’t here now?”

“Yeah. They’re having a meeting inside your dad’s study room.”

Jade just nodded her head while taking out something from her bag. “Everything will be fine soon.” She took out a box and when she opened it, there were little hair clips inside them. “I made one for everyone. You can get what you like.”

While the boys pondered how to protect their loved ones, Jade was also doing her best to make the women feel at ease.

Jillyanna didn’t know that she has a cousin. She had no idea that Simon has a daughter with Denise. Well, it’s not unexpected since Simon didn’t know about it either.

While considering so many things, Travis had to get a DNA test between Simon and Denise’s daughter as well. He didn’t want the man to take up the responsibility just in case it wasn’t really his daughter.

On top of that, he needed to explain a lot of things to his wife as well.

Stefan and Travis sighed deeply at the same time which made the other boys smile faintly at them. It’s not easy to protect your woman at all.

On the other hand, Denise went back to look for her boss. She needed to get the bottle back.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

No one answered.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Her attempts were met with silence.

“Are you looking for the leader?” A man came with a baseball bat in his hand.

“Yes. I made a mistake with the poison I gave him. Do you know where he is?”

“He should be at the basement.” The man answered without making any further inquiry.

“Thank you. I’ll go there myself.”

Denise smiled at him and turned around to leave. She ran as fast as she could to the basement and the moment she pushed the metal door, the rotten and stinky smell of the place greeted her nostril.

She vomited on the side because of the sudden assault on her nose.

“S-sir.” She called, wiping off the saliva from the corner of her mouth. She pinched her nose and breathed with her mouth while looking for the man inside. “Sir, there’s something wrong with the bottle I gave you. It’s not the one that should be used in the jail.”

“Why not?” Questioned the man who stood in the middle of the room with a naked woman lying on the ground. She wasn’t alone. There were other emaciated people lying on the floor with her. “As I can see, this product you made is great. I tested it on them.”

“How about you?”

“I’m fine. I made sure not to touch any of the food and the drinks.”

Denise blinked her tears from falling and just stood there with feigned helpless expression. “It took me a long time to create those and you only used it on them. It will take me months to create just one bottle of them.”

“It’s fine. You said that there’s another poison that my friend can use, right?”

“Ah?! Yes. Yes, sir. There is. The one that I gave you was supposedly for your plan to take over the country. Anyway, I’ll just start with them once again. Here’s the other poison that I created for your friend.”

“Thanks my sweet. Your talent is truly priceless. I’ll give you another bonus for this month.”

“Thank you so much, sir.” Denise bowed her head happily. “Uhh...can I call my mother this month sir? The last time I called them was three months ago.”

“Sure. And while you’re at it, please ask someone to clean the basement and make them replenish our stock for experiments.”

“Yes, sir.”

Denise left and asked someone to clean the basement. The moment she got inside her room, she contacted Eliezer and Tristan. She told them the current situation and the chance they needed to grab.
