She's My Sleeping Pill

'Thud!'

'Clatter!'

Stefan punched the man on his face as hard as he can. The man fell on the ground and hit one of the tables, causing damage to the utensils and other items.

"How dare you lay your hand on her?!" His eyes were red in anger. Blue veins popped up on his temple and there were veins bulging on his tight clenches fist.

The man spit out some blood and wiped his lips with the back of his hand as he stood up from the ground. He looked towards Julia in anger. "Were you trying to kill me? Do you hate me this much that you set me up with you sister-in-law? You really wanted to ruin me?"

Julia was shaking her head to deny what he said. "You're lying! Why are you involving me in your matter? It was you who approached her!"

"It's because you told me to!" The man angrily yelled at her. "If my family is ruined because of this, I'll drag you down to hell with me."

Stefan sharply glanced at his cousin before turning to Cayenne. "Are you alright? Did he hurt you? Did he touch you?" He asked frantically while checking her face and her arms.

"I'm alright. He didn't touch me either. He just asked me to drink wine with him."

"Thanks god, you're alright." Stefan pulled her in his embrace and caressed her back. "I'm sorry you had to go through that."

"I'm really alright. Don't worry."

While they were hugging and talking, the crowd was taking pictures and were whispering about them. "No wonder she said she wasn't hooking up with anyone. It's because she's married."

"I didn't know Mr. Dumrique is married. I just know that he's got a girlfriend."

"You know the man?"

"Yeah. I followed him on his social media account but we're not close."

"The woman is pretty. It's natural that men would eye her. Sadly, she's married."

Hearing their whispers, Julia gritted her teeth. She knew she won't be able to get away from his event and Stefan won't forgive her. She's dead. She was so dead. 'Why didn't he say that he's married to her? I thought she was just a girlfriend.'

The groom knew that his wife will be kicked out from the Dumrique clan but it didn't matter to him. He can still love her and provide what she needs and wants. Julia should be very thankful because she found a person who truly cares for her.

Since it was an important event, Stefan didn't confront Julia at this moment. The party continued but Stefan brought Cayenne to the indoor pool to help her calm down.

"Are you sure you don't want to come home?" Stefan asked her as he drape his suit on his shoulders and sat beside her after.

Cayenne nodded while looking at the clear water of the pool. "It's an important event for your cousin. Don't miss it. Also, even though she's involved in what happened today, don't do anything to them and to that man as well, don't ruin him. He only did it after Julia instigated him."

"I'm afraid I can't do what you're asking from me." Stefan responded in a whisper. "If I don't deal with them, they would think that I'm easy to bully. If I don't do anything, they would think I'm letting them off and don't care about what you had experience. Ayen, you are important to me. How can I let this matter off?"

"Alright. I'll let you handle this the way you wanted." Cayenne leaned her head on his shoulder and linked their hands together. "I was scared. I was scared that I would ruin your image if I wasn't able to hold on. I was really planning to punch that man."

"Oh. If something like this happens in the future, don't worry about me. Just punch the daylight out of them. I'll take care the aftermath."

Cayenne chuckled at his response. Her husband spoils her so much but she won't abuse him and his power as well. She's happy as long as their together.

Meanwhile, the citizens were paying close attention to some posts online. There were many posts about Stefan's marriage and there were pictures of him and the woman. However, they couldn't clearly see her face because Stefan was blocking everyone's view.

"Oh! My! G! The boss is married?!"

"I thought he just got himself a girlfriend?"

"He must have married her secretly."

"But who is the girl? Can anyone send a clear picture?"

They all wanted to have a clear picture of Stefan's wife but they were nowhere to be found. Those who uploaded the picture couldn't make a follow up so they put their phones in silence to stop thinking about the notifications.

"I just uploaded a pic of the couple earlier and I didn't know that it would become a hot news. Many citizens wanted a clear picture of the woman." A guest told her colleague while showing her post to her.

"I've got the same situation here." Another guest stated.

"The man is Mr. Stefan Dumrique. He's the cousin of the bride. Perhaps he is famous in City A."

"I searched for him." Another lady commented which caught their attention. "He's very rich. Before he graduated from his business course, he already had a business. He owns a lot of hotels, resorts and restaurants. He also invested on some small businesses. Recently, his grandfather turned over all their properties and assets to him. The shipping lines that they owned and some businesses across Europe were given to him."

"He's that rich?!"

"His wife was very lucky."

"Is there any news about his wife?"

"No, there's none. The people in City A didn't even know that he's married."

"So practically, we are the ones who knew about the identity of his wife. Do you think he will get angry?"

"I don't think so. Afterall, he acknowledged their relationship in front of us."

Because of this incident, Cayenne's identity as Mrs. Dunrique was slowly coming to light.
