She's My Sleeping Pill

Though she was dumbfounded when Kelly ended her statement, a single glance on her husband and Cayenne could tell that there was more to the story than a single sentence from this woman. Aside from that, the furtive look on Kelly’s eyes told her that she was up to something.

“You lied again.” Cayenne blurted which broke the silence in the room. “I’m a woman and you should know that a woman’s intuition can be scary sometimes. I am not trusting my husband blindly just because he is my husband. I am trusting him because I know what kind of person he is.”

“He really signed the papers!”

“But it wasn’t abortion, right?”

“When I say it was abortion – it was abortion. Period. I know my pregnancy better than anyone else.”

“It could be a miscarriage or stillbirth.”

.....

Stefan’s eyes lit up and a smile formed on his lips. Deep inside his heart, something felt ticklish as if she was caressing him with bird’s feathers. He felt so protected as she fought for his innocence on this issue. He wanted so much to grab her and run to the presidential suite where he used to stay before meeting her. As for the details why, he wanted to be alone with her, you can already guess what he would do with her.

On the other hand, Kelly gritted her teeth and refused to say anything more. She would rather die than make another statement. It doesn’t matter if Cayenne hates her or if Stefan sends someone to silence her as long as they won’t go after the person that she cares so much about.

All of this was staged several years ago. She already took advantage of Stefan and things have gone the way that they wanted it. She just didn’t expect that things would blow up this way. At the same time, she really had nothing to do with this current issue. She didn’t speak to anyone else about the incident with Stefan and the baby which he claimed was his.

“Tristan.” Cayenne called with outstretched hand.

Stefan was once again surprised with his wife because he had no idea what she was up to just to deal with this annoying woman of his past. The only positive thing that is happening right now was the fact that Cayenne wasn’t fighting with him but was defending him instead.

As soon as Cayenne called him, Tristan handed his laptop to her. On the screen was a medical record that Tristan obtained. In fact, he was supposed to hand it to Stefan because he thought the boss would come alone. Surprisingly, the information ended up in Cayenne’s hands.

“Boss, is it really fine to let the madam handle this matter?” Tristan whispered when he passed by Stefan’s side. “Aren’t you worried that Kelly would attack Ms. Yen?”

“Let her try it and I’ll cut off her fingers.”

Of course, Kelly would not attack Mrs. Dumrique knowing that she was tightly surrounded with bodyguards. Only a person with death wish would do such a foolish thing.

Scanning the information that Tristan got, Cayenne’s eyes landed on the bottom part of the document which Stefan signed with his name. Her expression changed drastically and the room suddenly felt cold. Instinctively, Kelly looked up to the woman in front of her and she cowered in fear.

“I’m a victim of this issue as well! This isn’t fair! This is bullying!” she yelled, trying to show that she wasn’t afraid but her shaking voice was more than enough to show the turmoil deep in her heart. Cayenne wasn’t buying her words at all.

“Who’s Tyrone Miguel?”

Kelly’s eyes widened and Stefan, who remained silent this whole time, abruptly stood up. He didn’t know why that man’s name got involved but he knew that his involvement spells bad news. Something must have happened in the past that he wasn’t aware of.

“What now?” Cayenne finally turned her attention to Stefan. “Do you know this guy?”

Stefan wanted to think twice if the man she mentioned was the same man that he knew but seeing Kelly’s frightened and nervous expression, Stefan could only smirk at the thought of his stupidity in the past. “I know him.”

“He fooled you?”

Stefan let out a throaty chuckle from the harsh words coming from his wife. Even if he wanted to deny it, the truth would really slap him hard.

“I thought you are smart. Travis even admired you for your wits. How come you let this woman fool you? Is it because she’s pretty?”

[The madam got insecurities, too.] Everyone thought without changing their expressions as they stood to witness what was happening. Kelly even smirked jubilantly upon hearing the last question.

Cayenne pouted and her plump cheeks made him act according to his horny instinct. He kissed her hard as if he wanted to instill on her lips that she was the most beautiful woman to him, that she didn’t have to feel any insecurities against any other women. It didn’t matter that there were many people around them.

“Got the message?”

Cayenne felt the fluttering wings of butterflies in her stomach but to hide her embarrassment, she threw sharp glares at him. “Behave yourself. You are not out of this storm yet. I’ll deal with you later.”

He should feel sad with her response but the blush on her face brought a bout of faint laughter from him. “Aye! Aye! My life’s captain!”

Kelly was uncertain what to feel at this point. She was annoyed with the couple’s behavior in front of her knowing that she was far from achieving the same thing. She was envious and frightened at the same time. Cayenne might have some insecurities when it comes to appearance but when she analyzed things properly, she completely lost to her.

“My husband was foolish and loved to play in the past. I heard that you were the only woman he regretted meeting. Knowing him, since you are not a business and not his love interest at that point of your meeting, I am pretty sure that he never really cared anything related to you.”

Stefan: [My wife knows me the most.]

Everybody else: [Boss was pretty harsh and cold with his flings.]

“Before things get really messy and before I read what I have here, I’ll give you a chance to tell me the truth.” Cayenne declared while tapping the laptop cover. “I am not a bad person but I have friends who can be bad when times needed. One word from me and all the secrets you are protecting will be known to the world. Your choice; the truth to me or me telling the truth to the world. I can ruin his life, too. You’ll see.”
