She's My Sleeping Pill

If Arthur was hiding within the perimeter of Cayenne's property like his two idiot men, the secret guards would have found him. Stefan thought he outwitted this person but the intelligence of an honor student can't be underestimated.

Arthur investigated the other owners of the neighboring properties around Cayenne's place. He befriended them, feeding them nonsense like his wife was cheating and was living in the nearby property. He wanted to catch them red-handed and thus; the owner of the neighboring property allowed Arthur to come and observe Cayenne and Stefan from afar.

"I have seen them for a while now. It's been over a month since someone live in this place and the guy just came over after two weeks that your wife moved there." the old man who owned the property told Arthur. He was also the one who lent Arthur a telescope.

"I've been away for business reason and when I came back, I could no longer find my wife but someone told me that she met with a man several times. So, I have followed the man and here I am, my wife is indeed with him."

"Poor you." The old man commented. "In any case, don't be hasty. Your wife might come home one day so, just talk it out with her and if you can't fix it, you might as well divorce her."

"NO! NO WAY!" Arthur exclaimed angrily which startled the old man in front of him. "I'm…I'm sorry for startling you. I…I just can't let go of my wife. I love her."

"Well, I won't interfere with your plans anymore." The old man turned around and left Arthur on his own. Arthur also put down his telescope and went to sleep on his bed that the old man provided. 

He was lying to him but he didn't feel an ounce of guilt at all. All he could think of was to get Cayenne back.

Although the property was quite some distance apart, he could hear the vehicles from Cayenne's property. He would know when they'll arrive and if it was them who has arrived. He almost memorized all of the sound that came from Stefan's cars already.

On the other hand, Cayenne was feeling edgy on the way to the cemetery. She felt something was not right but she couldn't point it out. She already contacted Luiz and Kyle to make sure they're fine and she also called Jonas to see how he was doing. They were all doing good, safe and sound with their body guards following them all day everyday.

"Don't worry too much. If he'll come for us, let's welcome them. If he comes for your family, my bodyguards will welcome him. There's no way I'd let him get away if anything bad happens to you and our family." Stefan commented as he gently squeezed her hand with his. "I'm here and I'll keep you safe."

"Hn. Thank you." Cayenne leaned her head on his shoulder while keeping her eyes on the street. They haven't gotten out City B yet and they'll have to travel for at least 3-4 hours before they reach the place.

"You mention that your father plans to visit the grave as well, did he do that even when Clara was still around?"

"Hn. My father still loved my mother even when he married Clara which was why she hated me so much."

"I wonder if my father visited us without us noticing him, too."

"I believe he did."

Cayenne nodded her head in agreement but she didn't comment on it. Even if he did or did not, there's nothing that can be done about it. It's all in the past and it should be buried together with her hatred and pain.

The two of them continued their way to City D and after long hours of travel, they finally arrived at Sudlon Public Cemetery. There were few people around the cemetery and Cayenne thought it was really peaceful there.

Stefan stepped out of the car and was about to walk to her side and opened the door for her when she opened it herself and stepped out. "You're not giving me the chance to act like a gentleman, are?"

"Oh! Should I get back inside then?"

"Silly." Stefan chuckled as pulled her to his side and closed the door behind her. He locked it with the remote key on his hand and left while holding hands with her.

The cemetery was really big and it was divided into different parts to let the people find their loved ones so easily. There's an area for babies, for teens, for young adults and for old people. Stefan's mother fell on the category for young adults and her tomb was really clean and huge. There was even extra space where her remains were buried, which obviously and advance preparation for Magnus.

"Your father wanted to buried together with her? Does Clara know?"

"She didn't know."

While they were standing in front of the gate, the caretaker of the cemetery came and opened the gate for them. Cayenne and Stefan came inside and she found a lovely picture of a woman on the altar.

"Your mother was really beautiful. No wonder Clara was jealous of her."

"She's beautiful and kind. Even when she gave birth to me, I heard from people that she didn't come to find my father and have him take responsibility. Although, my father still found out of this news at the end." Stefan wrapped his hand around Cayenne's waist and pulled her even closer to him. "Mom, I'm back and I came to introduce my wife to you. Her name is Cayenne. She's lovely and kind like you. I wanted you to meet her earlier but a lot of things happened which delayed our visit."

Cayenne clasped her hands together and closed her eyes in prayer. "I'll be shameless to call you mom but I will still call you that way anyway. Mom, I love your son and you can be assured that I'll take care of him in your stead. We had a serious fight last time and we almost got separated but I'm thankful it didn't happen. Stefan went through a lot of things in the past and experienced so much pain but I'm pretty sure you were watching him because he was able to pass all those adversaries safely. Thank you for giving birth to him. Thank you for letting me meet him. I will give my vow to you that I won't let any harm fall on him."

"You haven't said your vow to me but you already give one to my mother." Stefan commented beside her which made Cayenne laugh at his childish behavior.
