She's My Sleeping Pill

Cayenne happily ate the desserts that Stefan bought for her. She also called Tristan, Chris and Elena to join them. She was finally chatting happily with them and she didn't forget to set aside some cakes for Rissy. She knew that Chris will during lunch to spend time with her in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, instead of going home, she decided to take a rest in Stefan's bedroom which was adjacent to his office. Of course, Stefan didn't disagree to this. Nothing could make him happier as long as she's beside him.

While she rested, Diana earned an earful of yelling from her grandfather again. She failed again and again to bring Cayenne back. But instead of getting angry, she felt happy because Cayenne didn't like them. Her grandfather can't do anything about it and if he forces Cayenne to take her back, she will hate them even more.

"Grandpa, she promised to give me the ring once the school starts. Let's just wait for her to hand it to us."

"How many times should I tell you that she must come along with the earrings?! I want to see her!" Jean Nikko Rule yelled and staggered back in anger. He had been yelling and now he's trembling in anger.

Diana shrugged her shoulders and sigh. "If you will force her, she won't hesitate to fight back. And let me tell you, her husband is known in City A and he holds a lot of power over merchant trades. Also, Stefan Dumrique isn't alone in protecting her. Cayenne is friends with the Madrid and Madrigal. Don't forget how the original Dragon Gang perished from the world."

The old man looked at his granddaughter. He knew it. He's not someone who's blind of what's happening around him. He also knew that his granddaughter didn't welcome her long-lost cousins.

"Go back to your room." Jean Nikko Rule told his granddaughter before standing up to leave the living room as well. He needed to plan to get his granddaughter back. "If I can't get her by force then, I'll just entice her with benefits."

He was so sure that Cayenne will take his offer but, he had no idea that all their evil plans against Amethyst several years ago was already exposed to Cayenne.

At the same time, they're not the only one who's after Cayenne. Natsu has been lying low several days ago because he was planning how to deal with Luiz. He'll be using him to get Cayenne to get to him.

He had been following him closely and he also knew the address where Cayenne lives. However, he won't abduct her from her own property. It's their territory and he knew that he will be at disadvantage if he trespasses their place. Luiz didn't have much to do but every time he goes out, it's either he'll meet with his friends, meet with his girl or go to work with David. And every time he goes out, the two bodyguards will always be tagging along.

So far, he only knew that there were two bodyguards around Luiz. He didn't know that Jillyanna had asked someone to tail him, making sure that Artemis won't get close to him.

Although she won't act if it's not Artemis, that didn't mean that she can just ignore him when he's in danger. Natsu overlooked this matter which will lead him to doom.

"You will finally become mine. I wonder how will that arrogant Stefan reacts to this?" Natsu asked himself and even laughed evilly with his perverted thoughts.

He just needed to wait for the next modeling job that Luiz will take.

Life continued to move forward and one week has passed. Stefan didn't notice that he missed Cayenne's period. Luiz didn't accept jobs for the time being because he wanted to prepare himself for college. Thus; Natsu's plan was halted. It was truly a blessing in disguise. Cayenne continued her daily routine, not worried about the upcoming class at all.

As for Chris, he finally decided to process his marriage with Rissy. It's not proper and hasty but her parents agreed and was even thankful that he still wanted to marry her even after what happened.

The only thing that has happened which brought happiness to everyone was when Rissy started talking. She talked to Chris about their first date and there was a smile on her face but after that, she refused to talk again. Even though she refused to speak, they were still happy with the progress.

Chris also showed her the room that she worked so hard to transform from that depressing area to a lovely and cool office. She transformed it to be her office but now, she cannot even teach.

Even so, everyone held to the hope that she will be fine sooner or later. And they were all thankful that Chris didn't choose to leave during this hardship that she's going through.

Hawk was very helpful as well and together with Dr. Anderson, they testified about Rissy's psychological issue which will affect Chris. They told the military higher ups that Chris had been planning to marry her and has prepared so much for his wedding which will now be postponed.

Although they were lying, Tristan and Shein can easily make up evidences that will be used to strengthen the claim. Although it's a sad thing to lose Chris during the next mission, Major General Calhoun asserted to everyone that they shouldn't send someone with troubled heart and mind. It will not just put the person in danger but the whole team that relies on him.

After three hours or persuasion and discussion, Chris was finally given two months of vacation but after that, whether Rissy's back to normal or not, he will need to report back to the military or else he will be punished using military law.

"It's good enough for me." Chris told Hawk over the phone. "I'll make good use of the next two months."

"If you need help, just let us know. As long as we can do it, we will always help you."

"Thank you. I'll keep that in mind."

As of the moment, Chris was inside Rissy's room. She was currently asleep while he was taking a phone call. Most of her wounds and bruises were healed already but the wound in her mind, it will still take time to heal it.

"Everything will be fine. It will be fine." Chris told himself again and again, praying mentally that his words will be heard. He never believe in God but ever since this happened to her, he found himself mentally praying for her.
