She's My Sleeping Pill

Stefan closed the door with a single kick and pushed Cayenne on it before kissing her lips.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and responded to his hot kisses while Stefan started untying her bathrobe to feel her skin.

All of a sudden, they heard a creaking sound and they both returned to their senses. Stefan pressed his wife against his body to cover her from anyone's sight before looking back to see who it was.

Nanny Seth didn't know that the couple returned already and was staying in the adjacent room. She only came to get a change of clothes for Jahzara, but she accidentally saw something she shouldn't have.

"Do you need something?" Stefan asked while tying his wife's bathrobe again.

"I need to get a change of clothes for the little princess," Nanny Seth while keeping a poker face. "Is the madam, okay? She seemed unwell."

Stefan understood what the nanny meant and he was happy that she was aware of how Cayenne felt. He hugged his wife right after tying her bathrobe before replying to the 'concerned' nanny. "She felt a little dizzy, but she will be fine after a rest."

"Do you need me to bring something for her?"

"No, it's fine. I can take care of her. Please look after the children for us."

"No problem, sir," Nanny Seth said and left after getting the kids' clothes. She even locked the door behind her to stop anyone from disturbing the couple.

With the nanny gone, Cayenne bit her husband's shoulder so hard that she tasted blood in her mouth and Stefan could only close his eyes to endure the pain. He knew that his wife's embarrassment right now was something he could not just shrug off.

"If I knew someone would see us here, I would have done it in the pool with you," Cayenne whispered and licked the wound she inflicted on his shoulder. Feeling her tongue on his wound, Stefan could not stop himself from moaning. "And you even have the nerve to feel good from that."

"Sorry," Stefan muttered with a shaky breath. "Don't worry, she didn't see anything."

"Unfortunately, my embarrassment weighs more than my sexual hunger right now. So, you have to wait until I'm up for it again."

Stefan nodded and kissed her head. "I understand. Go and take a shower first. I'll go to the other room so I could get a change of clothes for you."

Not to everyone's surprise, Stefan came out of the adjacent room in a bathrobe. He kissed his kids first before moving away to get a change of clothes for his wife and himself.

"My dear cousin, where's Cayenne?" Julia asked when she noticed that Cayenne wasn't with him.

"She will be here soon," Stefan responded and after grabbing a few things, he went back to the adjacent room.

"Since they will be here soon, I guess I should leave now. I'm a bit sleepy already," Julia stated as she stood up from the rubber mat. "Tell them that I have left."

"Sure," Rey answered on behalf of everyone. If there was one person who wanted her to leave as soon as she could, it would be Rey.

He could tell that Julia was up to something but with him around, she wasn't able to do anything at all. Instead of observing the kids to protect them, his eyes never left the woman.

If it was someone else, they would have thought that he was madly in love with her and not otherwise.

Julia wanted to sigh in relief the moment she stepped out of the room but her breath was caught in her throat when she saw Nikolai standing there intimidatingly with his eyes closed.

She knew he wasn't sleeping though.

[Inside there was that man named Rey. Outside there's this due who probably knows nothing but to kill.] Julia thought to herself before walking away.

When she reached her and her mother's room, she looked back to see Nikolai again, but to her horror, the man was also looking at her.

Her heart was beating so fast as she faked a smile toward him.

"Goodnight, Miss Julia," Nikolai said and she could only nod her head in agreement. Without wasting another second, she opened the door to her room and went inside.

"What happened to you?" Celestine asked when she saw her daughter. "Did something bad happen?"

"No, there's nothing. I just felt that the corridor is kind of scary."

"Corridor? It's not like this is your first time in a hotel," Celestine retorted and ignored her babbles. "Go and wash up. You should get some sleep. Tomorrow, we will be having breakfast with everyone, and your grandpa will be coming home with us."

"Stefan agreed?"

"Why wouldn't he?"

"Yeah. You are right. There's no reason for him to keep my grandpa to himself. He already got the inheritance."

Celestine frowned at her daughter's words and she could no longer keep herself from ignoring her. "Are you still harboring some interest in the inheritance that Stefan got?"

"Oh, God! No!" Julia said hysterically which didn't convince her mother at all. "Mom, I have no interest in the inheritance anymore. I have my own money that could last me a lifetime. Why would I need to covet something that isn't mine?"

"I just wanted to know the truth from you," Celestine mumbled helplessly. "You are my daughter and as a mother, I don't want you to walk the wrong way," she added while taking Julia's hands and giving them a gentle squeeze. "It's already great that we're able to come to the country.

A lot of things could happen in the future and I'm sure you will receive more blessings in life because you are a good person."

"I know, Mom," Julia said and hugged her mother.

However, reflected on the glass window of their hotel room was Julia's sinister expression.
