She's My Sleeping Pill

Although, Stefan's reason for making them his priority was also his wife. He didn't want her to tire herself from taking care of the triplets, which was the reason why he made it a habit to wake up before her.

She brushed her teeth and washed her face before making her way to the nursery room. As expected, Stefan was feeding their babies, and Kyle was there, too.

"You have no review today?" she asked her brother since he was about to take the licensure examination for teachers very soon. At the same time, she walked to where her husband was and gave him a 'Good morning kiss'.

"I have scheduled it for this afternoon," Kyle answered while keeping his eyes on Aziel while feeding him with a bottle of milk formula. "I heard Addie is missing."

"Hn. Tristan is cooperating with the Police to find her."

"I talked to Tristan last night and I think Adrianne got framed by the new wife," Stefan expressed while recalling the information that he got from his secretary. "Unfortunately, they haven't found her yet. Last night, they stayed close to Derrick's properties for monitoring, but there was nothing. Derrick didn't return to any of his properties last night."

Cayenne was quite surprised that the abduction of her make-up artist involved such an evil scheme from the new wife. "Did you ask Tristan to investigate the miscarriage incident, too?"

"I did. We should get some answers from him soon."

"I hope she's okay," Kyle muttered and sighed. Hearing his strong exhale, Aziel stopped sucking on the milk bottle and looked at his uncle. "Hey, young man, did you understand my worry?" Aziel blinked his eyes several times, but after a few seconds, he returned to drinking his milk. "I think you have smart babies," Kyle commented while shifting his tender gaze between his niece and nephews.

Hearing the compliment, Cayenne looked smug as she spoke, "We studied together. They learned a lot during my pregnancy."

Stefan could only shake his head at her response. Of course, he would never disagree with her when it comes to this matter. "Go and take a shower first. I'll cook breakfast for you," he said after feeding Jahzara and Zeki.

"I'll stay here and look after the kids," Kyle volunteered.

On their way out, Cayenne kissed her children's forehead. Anyway, she didn't come from the outside of her home. It should be fine. Stefan, the neat freak when it comes to their babies, didn't say anything either.

Cayenne took a quick shower to freshen up herself and changed into comfy clothes since she will be staying at home today. Once she was done grooming herself, she went back to the nursery room to take her children out. Of course, Kyle was there to help her and there was no need for her to carry them since she can just use the strollers and bring them down using the elevator. Stress-free.

Since Stefan was busy cooking with the helpers, she stayed in the living room with the kids and Kyle. A few minutes later, Luiz also arrived. He just finished taking the dogs out for a walk.

"They're scheduled for grooming today, right?" Cayenne asked her brother when she saw the dogs. Since the children have grown, Stefan has allowed the pets to come inside their house at least twice a week. Today was their second time this week.

"Yup. Yup. I'm taking them to the pet shop and vet clinic for a check-up."

Cayenne hugged the dogs happily and rubbed their fur. "In a few months, you'd be able to play with the kids," Cayenne muttered cheerfully before pulling away from them. Her four seasons-named dogs were sitting on the floor and their forepaws were placed on her lap. It was such a treat for her morning.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Cayenne picked up her vibrating phone and saw Tristan's message about Adrianne. They still have no idea where she was, but if they had to ignore the law again, they might be able to find her.

"Is there any way of locating her without spilling anyone's blood?" Cayenne replied with a frown. She knew that a lot of schemes and illegal things happen in the world and her husband had bribed a lot of people for her sake. She won't deny that. However, as much as possible, she didn't want anyone close to her to stain their hands with blood.

Tristan: "There's no need to spill any blood. We will just threaten someone to help us locate where Derrick is. I have a gut feeling that Addie is with him."

Cayenne frowned at the word 'threaten'. "Who are you planning to do that to?"

"His wife."

Cayenne's eyes almost popped out. [Of all people that he wanted to threaten, does it have to be the legal wife?] She thought while typing out her reply. "I don't agree with that. Why must we threaten his wife? It's already upsetting that her husband looked for her ex."

[Ah! I forgot to tell her about it.] Tristan told himself and slapped his forehead. Instead of exchanging messages, he decided to call Cayenne directly. It would save them time. [Why didn't I call her in the first place? I must be too tired to think rationally.]

With the information he gathered, he started telling Cayenne the scheme behind Addie's abduction as well as the main culprit that needs to be punished for it.

As she continued to listen to him, Cayenne couldn't stop feeling the hatred and anger that boiled her blood. Before she could stop herself, she let out a string of curses in front of her children that shocked both her brothers and her husband who even heard it from the kitchen.

"That damn bitch shouldn't just be threatened! You've got to make her live a fucked-up life until she begged for death. Make her suffer! I want her to have a taste of pain, humiliation and so much stress that she'd go crazy! You know what to do right?"

Kyle and Luiz: 😶

Stefan: 🤦‍♂️

Tristan on the other hand was looking at his phone. [I dialed the right number, but who the heck answered me?]
