She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 531 - PUTTING ALL THE BLAME ON HIM

"No, I won't." Cayenne whispered softly with her eyes closed, holding back her tears that were threatening to fall. "I won't be willful anymore. I will listen to whatever you say and I won't take any risk involving my life."

Stefan's sighs escaped his lips as he listened to her words. He rubbed her back to calm her down and kissed her palm. "I was really worried and scared. For a moment, I blanked out and was not sure what to do. Ayen, I thought I'd go crazy after you disappeared."

"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry."

"Shh.. It's not your fault." Stefan kissed her temple again and again. "It wasn't your fault that you were abducted. You should blame me for not protecting you properly."

"No, you did your best to protect me. It was me who was so stubborn and willful. I caused all this." Cayenne was in the brink of crying already so Stefan diverted the subject to calm her nerves.

"Let's stop blaming ourselves. The most important thing is, you are now safe and sound in my arms." Stefan hugged her tight but just enough to give her a breather. "I thought you didn't get to read the message that Ms. Rule sent you."

"I caught a glimpse of it before I stepped on the phone. Speaking of, did you get someone to fix it?"

"Hn. It's fixed already. You can use it as soon as we get home. When you contacted me using Kyle's account, I really thought his account was hacked. I was even ready to ask Tristan to trace the hacker."

"It was the only way I know. We've got to be extra careful around that old man which was why Diana had to act as the villain in my life."

The two of them hugged each other, feeling the warmth coming off from their body, ensuring the presence of the other in their arms. On the way to the mansion that the Sy family was using, Cayenne fell asleep. In the past weeks, she had been on guard, not daring to sleep deeply within the territory of her enemies. She was on edge, her anxiety raised to another level while thinking of the things that she had plan.

Perhaps it's due to exhaustion and from the relief that she's back in the arms of her husband, Cayenne just let herself get some sleep.

She was still dressed with the wedding gown but that didn't bother them. Stefan draped his coat over her to keep her warm and removed the veil that was hanging from the top of her head. He also removed some off the accessories and placed them on the small box before keeping them away. They can sell those accessories later and donate the money to less fortunate people.

When they arrived at the mansion. Seiji led Stefan to find Cayenne's room that they have arranged for her before – that time when she visited them. Stefan made sure that she's sleeping comfortably before walking out of the room.

"Elena, can you stay with my wife while we're discussing the aftermath of the incident?" Stefan asked his secretary who nodded her head almost immediately. "I'll try to be quick as possible."

"Okay, sir." Elena went inside the room and sat on the couch near the window while observing her sleeping lady boss. She could still remember the cheerful and kind Cayenne who always make sure to look after her whenever she visited their Chairman's office. She didn't expect she'd be experiencing this horrible event in her life.

Outside the room, in the living room, everyone has taken their seat in order to discuss the incident seriously. Stefan was facing the people involved in the wedding and the abduction.

The only person who wasn't present was Cayenne and Grandpa Sy. One was sleeping and the other has some health issues which made Seiji stopped him from attending this discussion.

"No matter what plans you have, I will entrust everything to you." Reuben told Stefan as he sat close to him.

"So, what's the plan?" Seiji asked with his hands clasped together on his knees. He was only wearing a white shirt after taking off the wedding suit that he wore earlier.

Stefan crossed his leg and took the laptop from Tristan. "We will continue the play of my wife having lost her memories. I can deal that on my end. Since we're at this point already, we can say that you were only playing along with old Rule's plan because you didn't want other people's lives to be at risk. Since there are many solid evidences of his kidnappings and other crimes, people won't ask you any further. They will even look at you as one of the victims."

"I don't mind with that. Will there be any press conference or media coverage about this thing?" Seiji asked after seeing the worried expression of his mother. Isabel hates dealing with media the most.

"With what happened today, it's impossible for the media to not have an idea of what has happened. If they would come to talk to you, just tell them that you were forced to do the wedding."

"What about us? If this will be known to the public, other people won't believe us to be innocent. Most-likely, we will be condemned by the public just like our grandfather." Diana voiced out her opinion with obvious concern.

"There's no evidence of your involvement." Stefan responded with a calm face. "Do you get what I mean?"

Artemis and Diana looked at each other before nodding their head. "We're forced to cooperate in exchange for the lives of our parents."

"Right." Stefan responded. "Everything will fall on Old Rule's head. Other accomplices like the men he hired to kill other people and abduct innocent humans will be put to jail as well. As for your riches, after the investigation, whatever's left to you will be yours but you will have to surrender half of the assets to the government."

Diana sighed in disappointment. The wealth that she had been eyeing for a long time had slipped through her fingers. But compared to this wealth, the life of their parents was more important. Even if they could no longer be considered rich, as long as they're together, she'd be happy.

The discussion didn't last long with Stefan taking the lead, his wife's information and their careful planning. Just like what he guessed, the media was able to hear this shocking news indeed. They immediately swarm the Rule's mansion which was currently guarded by more than a dozen of policemen. They didn't guard the place because it was own by the wealthy businessman. They guarded it because they still needed to collect a lot of bones inside the dungeon. The media was also informed that none of the Rule family member has come home.

Feeling dejected, some went back to their offices while the others stayed to get some scope regarding the bones being collected. Other media booked a flight to Singapore as well. They were planning to interview the other people involved which was the Sy family. However, they were met with disappointment as soon as they arrived in Sy enterprise. They didn't expect that the family hasn't come back to the country yet.

Their current CEO which was Seiji was still in Country C but no one has information of where they stayed.

Meanwhile, news of Cayenne being found has erupted the social media platform. Her fans were very happy to know that she was safe but when they read the whole event that she was actually about to marry someone else, their happiness was once again changed to worry. They have a bad feeling that she has lost her memories which was why Stefan had a hard time locating her.

Even so, as long as she's alive, her fans were hopeful that she'd get her memories back.

Her friends, family and acquaintances were also happy to hear about the news of her rescue. Some even cried in relief like Luna, Sabrina and Clarisse. Other popped champagne for the successful rescue like Riley and her twin Jackie.

The intensity of their happiness after Cayenne was found was also the same intensity of hatred they felt for Jean Nikko Rule. All of his crimes were exposed to the public which made him a target of their criticism and condemnation. Some cursed him to die but upon realizing that death was a very light punishment, the public appealed for him to be tortured.

Some people, whose friends or family members were abducted, blamed Nikko Rule and told the police to reinvestigate their cases. He was blamed for the murders that he didn't really commit because of his records.

Overseas, away from Asia, a man tapped his cigarette stick on the ash tray before putting it in his mouth to suck it again. The iPad he was holding on his other hand have cracks on the screen because of his strong grip but he still continued to read the news until the whole screen blacked out.

"Those people were all useless." He muttered. "Looks like we'll have to come home and give my nephew a big surprise." He said as he stood from his seat and sucked the cigarette one last time. His eyes held a mischievous glint and malintent.
