She's My Sleeping Pill

This place is famous for viewing whales. They have seen pictures and videos of the place and Cayenne was very thrilled to experience it.

They checked-in to their chosen resort and took few hours of rest after a long travel.

“I have so many pictures of you.” Stefan commented while looking at his camera. “Here. Pick the best three pics that you like and I’ll have it developed.”

“Just three? I want them all.” She mumbled which caused her husband to chuckle. With his head on her shoulder, Cayenne chose the pictures that she liked the most.

Not long after, Cayenne felt that Stefan’s head was lolling on her shoulder. Taking a glance to the man beside her, she found out that he has fallen asleep. He was driving the car for several hours from north to south which took almost 5hrs due to traffic. It was really out of their expectation that traveling south of the island would take so much time.

She slowly placed her hand on his head and lifted his head down to her lap so he can use it as a pillow. He stirred from his sleep but feeling the warm and soft flesh pillow, he turned to his side and hugged her waist with his face pressed on her tummy.

.....

By the time that Stefan woke up, Cayenne has chosen three pictures of them and the sky was streaked with red-orange rays from the sunset. The surrounding was getting darker yet, many people were still roaming outside, enjoying their life and the view that nature has offered them.

Cayenne noticed that he was wide awake and was staring at her with heated gazed. “How’s your sleep?” She asked right after placing a quick kiss on his forehead. She looked at him with her heart on her sleeve just like what he always does to her.

“I slept really well.”

“That’s good to know. I ordered some food already and it will be served 30 minutes from now. Would you like to have a night swimming with me later?”

“Great! You’ve offered me something amazing.”

With the time she spent with him, Cayenne already knew that Stefan was thinking. Her face was red from the thing she imagined but she immediately dismissed the idea. He could be joking with her. ‘Hopefully, he was but...’ Cayenne looked at her husband who was looking at her mischievously and before she could stop herself, she was already pinching his face and squishing them.

“Ahw! Ahw! Ayen, I didn’t do anything yet. Why are you punishing me?” He complained and sulked with his head on her lap. It seems like he has no plan of getting up at the moment.

Instead of answering him, she squished his face even more and kissed the tip of his nose at the same time. “My naughty husband is acting innocent. Others might believe it but not me! Hmp! You have taken advantage of me several times already.”

“A husband taking advantage of his wife. Hmm...I don’t think that’s illegal.” Stefan retorted which earned him light bite on his nose from his wife. He was having fun teasing her again.

Meanwhile...

Chris and some of his men infiltrated the mental hospital and gathered the needed blue print base on the description that Elia has provided them.

So far, she wasn’t caught in the act and the people who had been tailing her have gained nothing. She stopped meeting with Diana and Artemis but that didn’t mean they stopped their communication as well.

Currently, the Rule sisters along with Chris and his men were having a meeting in one of their meet up place in the island. No one knew about it and it was away from the prying eyes of civilians.

“Based on this information, we’ll have to arrange men in all floors of this wing and attack at the same time. We cannot start from the bottom to top or top to bottom. The enemies will have time to escape or ask for reinforcement. We’ll have to sweep them in one go.”

Diana agreed with the solution but there’s one thing they needed to know. “How will get inside without anyone noticing this abrupt changes?”

“We’ll get inside from the emergency exit. They have not stationed anyone there because of their over confidence. I’ll lead my men to get into position and your job is to secure them at the exit, bring them to the port and get them out of this island using the yacht. You don’t have to worry about us. We’ll follow right after using another jet.”

“Uhmm...” Artemis raised her hand and everyone looked at her. “Elia is important to Cayenne and she’s been helping us. Are we taking her out of this place as well? If we won’t and the enemy get hold of her, she’d be in grave danger.”

“Have you discussed this matter with her?” Chris asked them but the two sisters shook their head. “I’ll inform Cayenne about this and see if she has any plans. If not, we’ll have to let her resign as soon as possible. Immediate resignation should be fine.”

“I’ll tell her about it. It’d be best if we can get Cayenne’s opinion as soon as possible.”

“I’ll see what I can do. As far as I know, Stefan brought her to some place for vacation. It highly doubt they’d answer my call. Stefan would be upset if his date gets disturbed.”

Knowing him, they all agreed to what Chris said. Stefan’s world revolved around Cayenne after all.

THE NEXT day, Elia submitted her resignation letter and when she informed the siblings about it, they were quite surprised. They didn’t expect that she’d be doing the same thing that they have in mind.

“Are you really sure with this decision? Why so sudden? You didn’t resign when your heart got broken so why now?” One of her colleagues asked when they learned the news from another superior who also felt bad from Elia’s decision.

As the person in question, Elia could only smile faintly and explained what she thought was reasonable enough for them.

“I want to spend more time with my family. I haven’t been home since I went against them for my relationship. Anyway, I just want to go home and help my family with the business.”

“You are planning to return home? I didn’t know you are so filial.”

Elia turned around upon hearing this comment from a very familiar person. However, instead of getting angry from his insult, she only looked at him before leaving without saying a single word.

“So rude.” He muttered but while watching her leave, he felt something was chipping on his heart. He rubbed his chest for few seconds before turning around as well.

“I don’t know what happened between the two of you but you don’t have the right to throw insults to the woman who sacrificed so much for you! I can’t believe she fell in love with you. How unlucky!”

With that, the woman left without looking back. He was left there dumbfounded. ‘Sacrifice for me? Why would she do that?’ He thought to himself but before he could ask more questions, his phone rang and a woman’s angry voice almost tore his ears off. She was so angry at him but unexpectedly, he didn’t feel sorry. ‘What’s wrong with me?’
