She's My Sleeping Pill

When it was the bride’s turn to throw the bouquet, she looked towards Cayenne but Cayenne only shrugged her shoulders. She wasn’t part of the entourage and she has no plan of receiving the bouquet as well. She already considered herself married.

Jackie was one of the bridesmaids but instead of taking part to snatch the bride’s bouquet, she was just happily eating her dessert. She wasn’t interested in getting married at the moment. She wanted to graduate first and find a stable job before she’d propose to Vincent. Yes, she was planning to propose to him not wait for his proposal.

When Winter threw the bouquet, the others were trying their best to catch it but it landed right into Jackie’s plate. She was so surprised that she held it and looked up to the other girls.

“What now? There’s no way I’d marry before Yenyen and Stefan does.”

The other guests laughed at her comment and Cayenne was put under the limelight with Stefan once again. She didn’t really like it when people talk about her wedding or whatever plan was ongoing. There’s no plan and no wedding! Or at least, that’s what she thought.

Seeing that his girlfriend got the bouquet without any effort, Vincent tried his best to get the wedding band, he even glared at the three military officers who were Gabriel’s groomsmen. They have been checking Jackie since the ceremony and he knew it. He would never let anyone snatch her away from him.

.....

Gabriel threw his wedding band and many young men tried to get it. However, it hit Stefan right on his chest. He picked up the wedding band and looked towards Jackie. The crowd erupted in another fit of laughter since it was Stefan who caught it.

“Alright. It’s inappropriate since I already have a wife.” Stefan stood up and handed the wedding band to Vincent. “I wish you success young man. I’m permitting you to have this girl’s hand. Don’t let anyone snatch her away.”

“Hey! I am the legal guardian. Why are you giving the permit?” Jillyanna commented in a joking manner which made the guests laugh once again. Stefan only grinned at her and returned to his seat before taking Cayenne’s hand once again.

“I want to get drunk with you.” Stefan whispered and this lit up Cayenne’s eyes.

“Really?”

“Hn. Since when was the last time that we got drunk with just our company?”

“Hmmm...The first night that we slept together. That’s over a year ago.”

“Shall we commemorate it?”

“Why not?”

Stefan narrowed his gaze at his wife. It was not long ago that she was abandoning him to deal on his third brother with his hand. Now, she was eagerly agreeing to him. Then, realization hits him. “I think we’ll postpone it for now. We’ll do it next time.” Stefan whispered which made Cayenne roll her eyes at him.

The wedding was only attended by close families and friends. No celebrities or medias were invited to attend this wedding and it was exclusive to the invitees only. Since Riley and Luiz were considered family and a friend, they were exempted from being a celebrity.

Cayenne received another message from Magnus but she only glanced at her phone since Stefan was sitting beside her. She didn’t want to take the risk of him seeing the message from his own father. He would surely get angry over this trivial matter.

“I’ll go and talk to some businessmen. Do you want to come with me?” Stefan asked her while eyeing some people from the crowd.

“I’ll stay here. I don’t like talking to big shots.”

“Alright. I’ll come back as soon as you I can.”

“Hn.”

When he was not looking at her, Cayenne immediately opened her messaging app and read the text that Magnus sent to Cayenne. He was asking her to drop by and visit the Villa sometimes with Stefan. Cayenne breathed a sigh of relief when she read it. She really thought it was another message pressuring her to get pregnant. Thankfully, it wasn’t.

Stefan also received a message from Tristan. Two messages were updates about their infiltration of the island as well as the response from the P country’s president while the other was about Magnus contacting Cayenne. He checked the one related to Magnus first. Surprisingly, it wasn’t anything about pregnancy. “Hmp! Just you wait. I’ll make sure to visit you and scold you numb.” Stefan mumbled before putting his phone away. He will only check business-related matter at home. It was too risky.

“Yen.” A man called Cayenne’s name and this caught some people’s attention, too.

Cayenne thought someone just have the same nickname as her but then, she saw a handsome man who was walking towards her with a faint smile on his face. She was a little surprise to see a familiar face but she couldn’t really recall where she met this man before.

Stefan who was standing with some businessmen excused himself in a hurry and briskly walked back towards his wife. Before the man could reach for Cayenne, Stefan blocked his way and stood in between them. “I heard you calling my wife’s name, if I’m not mistaken. Do you personally know her?”

The man was nodding his head happily and he also reached for Stefan’s hand. “It’s nice to see you Mr. Dumrique. I am Cayenne’s high school classmate. I was just happy to see someone familiar here. I heard that she’s your wife already. I really thought she’d end up with Arthur.”

The atmosphere on the table suddenly sank and it was a little gloomy and high with tension. Cayenne slapped her forehead for this man’s recklessness in front of her husband. She really didn’t know how she could save him from the jealousy of the wolf beside her.
