She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 603 - SPECIAL DAY I



Chapter 603 – SPECIAL DAY I

The next three days, Cayenne was busy with her studies and packing the children's gifts. Although her family helped her, there were still so many to do with the huge celebration that they will be throwing for everyone. With the limited time she has, she still made certain that she has attention and time for her husband – the jealous man, Stefan.

It never occurred to him that he'd be jealous over the kids and because she was busy packing.

Just as how their lives continued to move forward, Napoleon's trial was rolling as well. People condemned him to death and there were so many requests to punish him with death penalty. To some people, death might be the worst punishment but in fact, it's the easiest for criminals like him.

"He should be tortured, kept inside cell with no one to speak of and just let him rot." Stefan commented while reading the news on his phone. He was sitting on the couch and Cayenne was sitting on floor, between his legs where she was doing her assignments.

"Stop talking torture with me around. You are putting ideas in my head and I don't like the images. I'd have nightmares."

"I'll chase your nightmares sweetheart."

"Then, chase after yourself."

"Hey!" Cayenne laughed at his response as she continued to write.

Stefan put down his phone on the side and looked at his wife. She's busy with a lot of things in their daily life but she never complained. She was happy doing them and Stefan was happy supporting her ideas. Whenever it involves money, he's even happier to receive notifications from his bank. She's the love of his life. The center of his world. Before, he works hard to prove to his family that he can do better without them, that he can survive this world without them. Now, he works hard for Cayenne. He wants to give her a good life. He wants her to enjoy spending money without having to worry how much money was spent. He wants to be with her for the rest of his life. He wants to wake up every morning with her body pressed close to his. He wants to smell the scent of her, taste her when he wants to and just indulge her.

"I love you, Ayen." He whispered softly while rubbing his thumb on her nape.

Cayenne whipped her head and looked at him. "I love you, too." She smiled as she said it and took his hand with hers, placing a kiss on his knuckles which he would usually do to hers. "I love you with every breath in my body."

Her smiles always brighten his world. Whenever she laughs, the sound would bring ripples from his toes to his head and he felt an overwhelming joy in his heart. He loved hearing her laughter.

"Geez!" Luiz rolled his eyes and stood up to leave the living room. He might be in love but he wasn't as clingy and as cheesy as these two.

Cayenne just grinned at her brother before looking back to Stefan. She pressed one more kiss on the center of his palm and went back to answer her assignments. She didn't say anything anymore but from time to time, she'd hug his legs and rest her head while holding his hand tightly.

The next day, Cayenne was at school, studying as usual with Stefan waiting for her at the café across the campus. The teacher for their third subject didn't come due to health reasons and because of this, the students got some free time before lunch. Others went to eat with friends a little early while Cayenne, Noah and Faith went to the library.

Ever since the three of them studied together, they've always been together at school. Noah would always pull Faith along with him when he decided to study with Cayenne. It's always fun and productive to study with her because Cayenne was competitive. Last semester, they didn't get to study that much because of all the things that has happened to Cayenne but this time, she made sure to get back on her feet and pull up her grades which barely passed last time.

"I heard that the final day of the trial is today." Noah told Cayenne in whisper. She knows who he means but Cayenne only shrugged his shoulders.

"Why are you gossiping this much today?" Faith questioned him while placing three thick books on the table. "Stop talking and study."

"Yes, ma'am." Noah gave her a wink and brought his attention back to his books. Not long after, he looked up to Cayenne and placed his chin on the heel of palm. "The news about Napoleon is everywhere but it looks to me that you aren't the least bit bothered about it. Sometimes, when people talk, they'd even associate your husband to him."

"Who talks bad about my husband?"  Cayenne retorted and there was that fiery gaze in her eyes when she looked at him.

"No one." Noah answered almost instantly. For the first time, he felt a little intimidated by her. "People say that your husband is far better than his uncle. His only bad reputation was the thing about being a playboy before he married you."

"Oh." Cayenne answered subtly as she clasped her hands together. "I have been silent about it not because I am not affected but because my husband told me not to worry."

"Both your family of origin are complicated." Faith commented without looking up as she continued to flip through book pages. "I'm amazed that you are doing better amidst all the things that has happened and that is happening."

"My husband and my brothers are with me. I mean, I have a lot of people who surrounds me with love and care. So, why would I be bothered about these little things. In all honesty, as long as my brothers are doing fine and as long as Stefan is with me, doing okay and healthy, I'd be strong to fight against all odds in life."

Faith and Noah looked at her in silence. There was this proud look on their faces but they didn't say a thing.

In the afternoon, when her class was over, Cayenne picked up her bag and immediately ran for the exit while bidding farewell to her classmates. She was in a hurry that they were all worried something bad has happened. She didn't look back and just kept running to the gate of the campus.

It was her first time planning for something grand and she didn't want to mess up – not on this special day.
