She's My Sleeping Pill

"You're not giving us much of a choice, are you?" Magnus swept the shredded documents off the table and handed the lawyer another stack of documents. "You made a fool of me using your mother." He commented with a sad expression on his face.

"It's your fault. If you fought for her, if you didn't let yourself fall victim to that manipulative woman, my mother would still be alive and none of this will happen. Everything started with your foolishness." Stefan didn't spare his father from his anger at all. "Anyway, can we get this done with already? I want to go home with my wife."

"Tch! Such a wife slave." Ferdinand snorted on the side, almost a whisper but Cayenne still heard it. She could only lower her head down and pretended herself to be playing with her phone.

Stefan didn't really care if he's called a wife slave. So, what? As long as it's his wife, she can be his queen, she can be his master; and he wouldn't mind at all.

The lawyer took the documents and read the contents of the will. "This will and testament was documented, sealed and signed on June xx, 20xx –"

"Huh? This was made when I was still six years old?" Stefan questioned when he heard the date. He asked the lawyer to show the documents to him and he verified the date, it was indeed made several years ago.

"If you want to finish this, stop asking questions. You can ask later once everything's done." Magnus told his son. He knew that Stefan must have so many questions in mind but he didn't want to hear them. He was afraid to have confrontation with him.

The lawyer continued to read the documents. "I, Ferdinand Louie Dumrique, will hand over all my properties, assets and monetary possessions to my grandson Stefan Dumrique. Henceforth, this will cannot be change unless the first heir changes his decision and hand it over to someone else. In the even that my grandson dies without any heir or heiress to take over all these possessions, everything will be sold and the monetary funds will be divided to all charitable foundations listed below. And this …"

The lawyer read a lot of things which made Cayenne felt sleepy. She has really no interest in this kind of things and she's not interested with all the assets that they were talking to as well. It's not hers so she didn't really care that much. She leaned on Stefan's shoulder and closed her eyes.

"Sleepy?" Stefan asked her while caressing her hair, making her even sleepier. "Just go to sleep."

"No, I'm just trying to rest my eyes. It hurts a little from playing the phone."

"I see."

Stefan continued to listen and after almost half an hour, they finalized everything and he signed on the documents. His father signed on the will as well and so was Stefan. The lawyer reviewed everything and after making sure that they didn't miss a single page, he carefully kept all the documents inside his briefcase and gave them a copy of it as well. Then, he bid farewell without taking so much time.

Stefan, together with his family, they all went downstairs and Ferdinand announced to everyone that the new CEO will be Stefan and he will be taking over their businesses in two weeks' time. Stefan didn't say anything since there's nothing that can be done. The only good thing that he thought about the business was that, it didn't have much of an issue.

Many people congratulated him and Ferdinand told them that there will be another gathering next week to announce to the public about the change of ownership to their business. It's a good way of getting along with business partners and investors as well and Stefan was very good in this kind of events. The only problem was that, Cayenne didn't like to attend this kind of events.

The two of them stayed for a while but after an hour, they left. Stefan didn't want to stress his wife over this kind of things and as much as possible, he wanted them to have some relaxing moments.

"Do you want to watch a movie? We can have dinner outside as well." Stefan suggested to her. It would be good for them. In that way, the can just start with their honeymoon as soon as they arrived home.

"I don't mind but let's not have any fancy dinner."

"Yes, Your Highness." Stefan replied and kissed the back of her hand. Every time they went out and he's the one driving, he will always drive with one hand since the other will always be holding Cayenne. He didn't want to let go of her.

It was already four in the afternoon when they arrived at the mall. This time, it was Cayenne who chose what to watch because Stefan would most likely pick something erotic and hot if he's the one buying the tickets.

While the two of them were having a great time, Cole was having a hard time, arguing with both his mother and brother. "How can you be so stubborn?! Didn't I tell you not to do anything that will involve Cayenne?! I have warned you many times and yet, you wouldn't just listen!"

"I didn't do anything to her, alright?!" Kirin argued back with her eldest son. "I just looked into her! I want to know what kind of people she hooked up with, making them go against us in her behalf."

"Looking into her is still involving her! You were prying on her privacy! Can't you understand?! Is it so hard to understand a human language?!" Cole couldn't really stop himself from yelling at his mother. He was agitated and frustrated because their business suffers every time his mother acts against Cayenne.

"Hey bro, that's not how you should talk to our mother." Arthur pulled their mother behind him to shield her from his brother's sharp gaze but Arthur received the heaviest blow instead.

"And you?!" Cole was pointing his finger on his brother. "Didn't I tell you to stop pestering her? I told you to give up on her because her boyfriend isn't easy to trifle with. And what did you do? You went to her workplace, argued with her, belittled her and then what now? Many investors decided to withdraw their help. You won't understand because you're not managing the business! If this is how it is, I'm quitting! Go and manage that business you have. I have nothing to do with it anymore."
