She's My Sleeping Pill

Cayenne leaned closer to Stefan and this faint movement irked Noah a lot but he can't do anything about it. He may have feelings for her but he knew that she's married and loves her husband so much. He wouldn't dare mess with her anymore and earn her hatred. After all, when she was abducted, he couldn't do anything to find her. Unlike Stefan who never stopped looking for her, Noah just left everything to fate.

Stefan closed the gap between him and Cayenne, leaning over as if he whispered something but in truth, he was just kissing her earlobe. Cayenne pouted her lips and glared at him making him laugh happily.

"Noah? Noah, right?" Cayenne questioned while approaching her classmate and her partner in class activities. "My husband told me that you are my partner in the activities."

"Yeah. That's me." Noah answered as he looked at her from head to toe. "You look thin but I am glad you've come back to us. Is your husband coming to our class?"

"Not really. He'll be loitering outside while waiting for me."

"Won't he be bored?"

"I don't think so. He's got so many things he can do on his free time."

"I see." Noah looked towards Stefan and just nodded his head. "Let's go to the class."

"Sure." Cayenne just followed him while Stefan walked beside her. Noah talked about the thing she missed and he even offered to lend his notes to her. If it were other men, they would be hesitating to show their notes to Cayenne but Noah wasn't. It's because he's got a good penmanship. Every word was written clearly and there were explanations on many things that he placed as well. He's really a smart person. "I'd be happy to have your notes but I need to talk to the professors first. I don't really know what they'd do about me."

"You have a point. You almost missed a whole semester but given that something horrible has happened, I am sure they'd understand."

"I hope so." Cayenne muttered. They soon reach her first subject room under the attention of everyone. Anyone who sees Cayenne would stop walking and look at her. Some looked relieved to see her back and some were even more surprise to see Stefan with her. She turned to her side and looked at him. "Hon, I'll be having my class here. You can go and do the things you needed to do."

Stefan hugged her and kissed the top of her head several times, making other women extremely jealous. "I'll be leaving the bodyguards here. Don't go anywhere without them."

"Hn. I understand. See you later." She entered her room and settled down beside Noah.

This time, her classmates were really convinced that Cayenne has lost her memories. Before, despite her being approachable and nice, she would always sit at the back and she would always put her bag between her and Noah, leaving one seat apart. Now, not only did she sit beside him directly, she didn't even have the pen that she usually brings.

"Yenyen, where is your favorite pen?" Noah asked which also caught the attention of everyone. They didn't surround Cayenne to fill up their curiosity but their ears were all open to listen to her words.

Cayenne looked at her bag and to her pen case. "I have lots of pen here. Which one are you referring to?"

"The pink one with a bear. The ones given to you by a friend."

"Oh." Cayenne tried to look for it inside her bag and found it inside a different case. "Is it this one?" she took it out and showed it to Noah and her other classmates who were looking at her.

"Yes, that's the one. Before, you would always take it out and place it in front of you but you won't really use it and you won't let anyone borrow it either."

"Really?"

"Hn."

"Well, my husband said that Shein gave this to me and it's very special."

Noah and her classmates didn't say anything, just kept a faint smile on their lips. Few minutes later, their professor came inside with lots of things in hands. In all of her classes, this is the subject that she likes the most and Cayenne would always pay attention to her classes.

The professor swept his eyes to all of his students and found Cayenne sitting beside Noah. "Ms. Ardolf, can you come out and talk with me for a while?"

"Yes, sir." Cayenne stood up and walked out of the classroom to talk with the professor.

"Ms. Ardolf, I know you are smart and is very diligent when it comes t work. However, you missed a lot of things after what happened. I won't really make it difficult for you. Just submit the same activities that your classmates submitted to me these past few months. There should be 13 activities that you missed. I'll give you the list and if you need some clarification, just come to me or you can ask your classmates about it as well. But please do not expect to get a high score and at the same time, don't expect a failure either. As long as you pass everything in two weeks, I'll let you pass this subject. Anyway, there's still the final term so, you would be able to cope with everyone."

"Yes, sir. I understand. I'll submit them as soon as I can." Cayenne bowed her head in respect and after few second, she stood up straight and smiled.

The professor took a deep breath and sighed. "I'm really sorry to hear about what happened. How are you doing now? You could have asked for two or three days leave to rest."

"I have rested already since my husband found me, sir. Also, I missed so much already from class. I don't want to miss anything anymore. I'm already glad that you're giving me a chance to make up for my absences."

"It's not your fault that it happened. And seeing that you are heavily guarded, I assume that you won't be in danger anymore."

"That's what I'm hoping, too. I don't my friends and family to continue worrying about me."

"Alright. Let's go back inside now. Don't take things so hardly. Ash help from your classmates if you need."

"Yes, sir."

As soon as Cayenne came back with the professor, the students looked at her in worry. "Everyone, listen here." The professor stated in his loud voice which caught the attention of his students. "Ms. Ardolf will be making the activities she missed on her own and there will be 13 of them. If she needs help, I hope you can lend her a hand."

"Yes, sir."

"Don't worry, sir."

"We will."

Cayenne looked at her classmates and smiled. She didn't really talk much to them before but she was never rude either. If they talk to her, she will talk to them as well and she never hesitated to share her opinions. And looking at them now, she felt so blessed for having kind people surrounding her.

Soon, the class started and Cayenne began to take note of the discussion. She listened to it attentively while her left hand was rubbing her earrings. She really liked the earrings that Shein and Jade worked so hard together. She couldn't stop herself from caressing it.

In a large university, did you expect that all people will be kind to her after what happened? Sadly, not all students were like her classmates. Some of them, specially that they have seen Stefan up close, was trying to look for opportunities to get close to him.

"Sooner or later, he will leave his wife. Which rich man didn't have any mistress?" one of the students commented while looking at Stefan who was heading towards the administrative building.

"His wife is now mentally unstable. Surely, he'll be fed up with her soon."

"So, you will be taking him away from Cayenne?" a student asked in surprise. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry at their stupidity.

"You better not tell anyone about this."

"I'm not going to say anything." That's what she said but that didn't mean she couldn't write it. The student left with her eyes rolling at their foolishness.

Besides, who said Cayenne has lost her memory? They just didn't know and they were in for a beating.

After the first subject, Cayenne and her classmates were heading out to go for the next class. Stefan hasn't come back yet but the bodyguards were all following her, making sure that she would arrive safely to her next room.

"Guys, the professor isn't around due to some emergency but he left something for Cayenne." a classmate of them, who worked as a student assistant, came inside with a folder in hand. "This is for you. She heard that you will be coming back to class today but she really has to visit the hospital now."

"It's fine. Thank you." Cayenne accepted the folder and found an instruction as to what she can do to pass the subject.

"Why don't we take this chance to sort out your missed activities?" Noah suggested. "I still have my portfolio inside my locker. If you want, I can get it and we can discuss it."

"Thanks, Noah. I really appreciate it."

So, when Stefan came to find her, he saw Cayenne being surrounded with her classmates, telling her what she needed to do and how she can accomplish it. 'I hope they'd never know that she has not lost her memories.' Stefan thought, worried that someone would notice it.

While he was observing his wife, someone else was also observing him from a distance.

"Sir, should I get rid of them? They look dangerous. Their eyes speak danger and lust."

"It's fine. If they really make a move against me.. They will be sorry."
