She's My Sleeping Pill

The police officers who came to investigate the house were all stunned. They all felt that everything was planned. They felt that they were being led by some unseen forces to discover all the records that they had against the Darian family. After all, for a family who dabbles in illegal trades, they wouldn\'t leave traces that would implicate them.

Though, they also all agreed that no secrets can be kept hidden

Augustine Darrian, who planned to leave the country using his private jet, was captured before he could escape. One of his men already sold him out. With heavy steps, he could only allow himself to get handcuffed.

As someone who wanted to seek marriage cooperation with the Darrian family, D country\'s monarch received a huge backlash from its citizens. People were rallying to abolish the monarchy system. Riots here and there happened, and many people were raising arms to go against the monarchy.

Everywhere was chaos.

And amidst of it all, the second prince and the youngest princess vanished.

"Brother, I\'m sorry for getting you involved," Athalie apologized with tears falling on her face. "I\'m really sorry. I don\'t really want us to be separated."

"You don\'t have to apologize to me. I should be the one apologizing to you. I fail you as a brother. I was unable to protect you. I\'m a coward. In fact, you just became a means to me to leave this place.

You\'re braver than I am Athalie. Don\'t be sorry."

Athalie wiped her tears as she looked at her brother and the woman next to him. "Promise me, you\'ll take care of each other. If we ever meet again by accident out there, please don\'t ignore me."

"Hn." He gave her one last hug before pushing her away. "Now, go! Don\'t ever look back and just go."

Athalie jumped out of the car and boarded the chopper that her brother arranged for her. She could never go back. She had caused so much damage already. She could only keep her resolve and move forward.

With the chopper slowly rising in the air, Athalie looked down and watched the car getting smaller in her eyes until there was nothing.

On the other hand, at the police station, Augustine asked for the whereabouts of his children. He wanted to know if they were captured or not. At least, if they had escaped, there was still hope for them to take revenge on whoever got them into this mess.

"Your son had escaped. We\'re still looking for him. Your daughter had committed suicide," said the police officer with a poker face.

As soon as he heard the last statement, Augustine started laughing like a madman. "Suicide. Really." The officer couldn\'t tell what was funny from his statement.

"Is your daughter\'s death a laughing matter? How could a father like you act like she\'s not your flesh and blood? You\'ve caused her death!"

However, Augustine didn\'t say anything. He kept whispering gibberish words that the officer couldn\'t decipher at all. He even started thinking that Augustine had gone insane from his family\'s downfall.

Only Augustine knew how he danced in the palm of his daughter. He knew her very well. She wouldn\'t give up without fighting. She had been working for the family trade all her life. She knew the ins and outs. There was no way she would just let someone destroy her hard work, unless she destroyed it herself.

"I have completed your plan," Cleo messaged Stefan before boarding the plane that the latter had arranged for her to take. "From this day forward, I\'m not Cleopatra "Cleo" Isabella Darrian. I\'m Lendi Gomera. It\'s nice working with you."

"Likewise," Stefan replied before tossing his phone on the couch. He finally solved this complicated spider-web like issue involving his wife. "Let\'s give our statement tomorrow. Although the issue isn\'t as hot as before, it is still necessary to clear your name."

"Steve has woken up?" Cayenne asked while feeding the triplets.

"Hm. He woke up three days ago. According to Brown, there\'s nothing to worry about now. The man is willing to make a statement but he\'s asking us not to implicate his girlfriend. Based on the most recent update, she should be on her way to him now."

Cayenne turned to her husband and kissed his cheek. "You\'ve worked hard."

"It\'s not even as difficult as starting a company. There\'s nothing that I can\'t do for you," Stefan said and this time, he pinched her chin and kissed her hard. He only let go of her when he noticed that intense gaze directing at him.

Aziel was looking at his parents as if wondering what they were doing. As for Zeki, he already turned his attention somewhere else. Jahzara\'s eyes were onto the food that Cayenne was holding.

"I\'ll get my reward later tonight," Stefan said while taking the other bowl of food for Zeki.

"I didn\'t know I should be getting you a reward," Cayenne retorted as if she had no idea what he was talking about.

***

Aziel, staring at his parents started saying some gibberish words. "Why are they always doing that?"

Zeki, who had turned to the side and was watching his sister trying to reach the food replied with "I didn\'t see anything."

Hearing their conversation, Jahzara looked at her brothers. "What are you guys talking about?"

"Nothing," answered both siblings. Explore more stories with m,v l\'e-NovelBin.net
