She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 514 - A WIFE\'S INTUITION

She could only whisper his name from time to time, making it her anchor to get through all this.

"Let\'s cook dinner." Cayenne went out of her room and walked to the kitchen to start cooking. During the first three days that she woke up, she had to eat the food that served by Olivia but since she couldn\'t fully trust her, she ate only a little, just for show. As soon as three days passed, she started cooking their meal with the excuse that her taste buds were sensitive to food.

Cayenne cooked fish cutlet and stir-fried vegetables.. She didn\'t cook much since there weren\'t many of them anyway. She acted virtuous in front of them, retracting her claws while waiting for the right moment to attack them.

After dinner, Cayenne went back to her room to take a shower but before that, she opened the toilet tank lid and fished out the phone that she had been hiding since the first day of Seiji\'s visit. There were messages from Seiji and the one that stood out the most was about her husband.

"I told your husband that you are fine. I know that we shouldn\'t contact him but we can\'t keep him worried. When you have time, try to contact him as well."

"I will be visiting with Artemis next time. She\'ll be helping us so play along with her act. She\'s different from her sister and grandpa so, you can let down your guard a little."

"Also, be careful with the food you eat there. Artemis told me that your grandpa asked the doctor to spike up your food with some kind of medicine which can cause you to lose your memories."

Cayenne read the other messages from him which were mostly reminders for her. She pressed the reply button and typed her message on the reply box. Before she could send it, a message from an unknown number came.

Inside Stefan\'s office, Tristan and Stefan was talking about their plan. Stefan wanted to contact Stefan through mail as well but he was adamant about it. He got this feeling that someone might be observing them in the shadows. He couldn\'t risk it.

"Let\'s just contact him directly through his phone." Tristan suggested. "I can tap on his phone using an employee\'s phone. In that way, even if someone trace it, they will trace it back to the employee. I can tweak the employee\'s information as well so that she won\'t appear to be working in our company."

"Alright. That\'s a good idea. Go and look for someone, then. I\'ll let you do whatever you think is right. As long as my wife is okay, I don\'t mind about other things."

Tristan scrolled the list of the employees and stopped on a man\'s name. He sent him a message to come to the CEO\'s office. Tristan didn\'t really choose him out of nowhere. He chose him because he was working over time and it\'s evening which means, not many people are left in the company now.

The man arrived immediately and greeted the two men inside the office.

"Good evening, Mr. Santos." Tristan greeted. "We are looking for the lady boss but we needed someone\'s phone to tap onto something. It\'s like this –" Tristan explained the purpose and the current situation to make the man understand. After three minutes, Mr. Santos pulled out his phone and handed it to Tristan.

Tristan connected the phone to his laptop and did some re-configuration before opening the messaging app and sent a message to Seiji\'s phone. After the message was sent, Tristan covered his traces and made some fake IP address which will traced back to US before the original IP gets discovered.

Cayenne looked at the message that she received. It wasn\'t on the contact list of Seiji\'s phone and she wasn\'t familiar with it either but the message was weird.

"Do you know where my wife is?"

\'Huh? Why are you looking for your wife from him?\' Cayenne thought. \'Wait. Is this Stefan?\' Thinking that Seiji told Stefan about her welfare, it was possible that he\'d look for her. \'But whose number is this?\'

She pouted her lips and typed on the screen, composing her message for the other party. "Don\'t forget to water the tulips in our balcony. If it dies, I\'ll kick you once I get home." She sent it and waited for a reply. \'If this is really my husband, he should know that I\'m the one talking to him.\'

And yes, she was right. Stefan was able to recognize that it was her but instead of feeling relieved, he\'s jealousy intensified and he felt really angry this time.

"Why is she using Seiji\'s phone. It\'s almost 8:00 in the evening. Are they still together?" Stefan questioned with the boiling vinegar in his chest.

"Don\'t jump to that conclusion, sir. Seiji probably left his phone to her. In that way, she has a means to communicate to the outside world."

"But, why do it now? Why didn\'t she contact me in the past few days?"

"Maybe she\'s being monitored and can\'t make phone calls or send messages whenever she can."

"That makes sense." Stefan nodded his head.

"Right. Stop getting jealous. There\'s no way your wife would betray you."

Cayenne started taking a bath while waiting for the reply. Since there\'s a bathtub, she decided to take a dip and relax her muscle while waiting for messages.

\'Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!\' The phone vibrated on the small chair that she placed it on. Picking it up, she saw another message from the unknown number.

"I think it\'s fine. I haven\'t been home since my wife was taken away. I wasn\'t able to take care of it properly."

This time, Cayenne can confirm that it was indeed Stefan. "I\'m fine. I\'m alive and kicking but I cannot leave this place yet. Anyway, if you ever see me again, act as if you are surprise. Don\'t let the enemy think that we\'re conspiring against them. Also, you have a very talented secretary. Ask him to dig up the dirty secrets of the Rule family. If we want to leave a happy and peaceful life, we can only take them down. As long they\'re sitting on the high seats, I will always be their target."

After sending this message, Cayenne didn\'t have to wait for a long time before getting a reply.

"Shall I inform your family about this?"

"No, don\'t tell them. We need to make our acting look real. Don\'t let them know that I am alive. Just pretend that you have no idea and that you are still grieving. Also, I\'ll be pretending to have lost my memories."

"Okay. I\'ll follow whatever arrangements you have."

Several knocks on the door startled Cayenne and the phone that she used slipped from her hands and fell on the tub. Her eyes went wide from shock and then the expression disappeared, replaced with coldness and anger. \'It was my only way of communicating and whoever the idiot behind the door has ruined it. Tsk!\' She clicked her tongue as she rose from the bath tub and put on her robe.

She rubbed her eyes several times and looked herself in the mirror. "Wait. I\'m in the tub." Cayenne shouted and walked slowly, as if she was dragging herself to the bathroom door. When she opened it Olivia was there, standing with annoyed expression. "Sorry, I fell asleep in the bathtub." She covered her mouth and yawned, walking past the woman. "Do you need anything?"

"Yes. Your grandfather said that your fiancé and your cousin will arrive tomorrow. Artemis is kind of attached to you ever since you are young so, if you see her tomorrow, please don\'t get mad if she acts clingy."

"Oh. Alright. I won\'t mind." Cayenne replied. "By the way, have you known the Rule family for a long time? What was I like in the past? Did I hurt any of them?"

"Nope. You\'re very kind and they like you so much specially your younger cousin. She likes you very, very much."

"I see." Cayenne looked for clothes to wear while talking to the woman in her room. "I wish I can remember everything." Cayenne muttered as if she was really devastated that she couldn\'t remember what was her life like.

"It doesn\'t matter if you can\'t remember. Your family still loves you and they didn\'t mind you losing your memories. Besides, you can make new memories with them."

"You are right on that matter." Cayenne responded. "By the way, I haven\'t heard them talk about my parents. Don\'t I have parents?"

"Your mother died due to some illness and your father has married someone else. You have been living with your grandfather." Cayenne looked solemn but she didn\'t ask further. "I\'ll leave you to rest now. Good night."

"Good night Olivia." Cayenne replied and as soon as the door was closed shut, she sighed in relief. She was so worried that Olivia will volunteer to drain the tub and see the phone which was why she kept talking to her. Thankfully, she didn\'t. \'Sigh! If I can\'t leave this place, I won\'t have any other way to contact my husband.\' Cayenne thought to herself. She never felt worried about the phone that she just ruined.
