She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 248 - KIDS AND DRUNK PEOPLE DON'T LIE

"Kyle, I'll be going out for a while. Please look after this place while I'm away." Cayenne put on her coat and shoes, preparing herself to leave. "Tell Luiz that I'll be back as soon as possible."

"Okay. Take good care of yourself." Kyle waved her hand and see her off to the main entrance.

Cayenne received a message from an unknown number, and even though it was unknown, knowing that the message was about Stefan, she couldn't just ignore it. She hailed a taxi and looked at her phone to read the address. The taxi driver looked at her and frowned.

'She looked so innocent but she actually goes to that kind of place.' He thought to himself but since she was a customer, he still drove the car towards A's bar.

In the Madrigal mansion, Travis and Jillyanna was sitting on a couch with Shein and Brown. "So, Stefan already knew about the connection between Cayenne and Jonas." Travis mentioned casually while running her fingers through his wife's hair.

"Although we knew about this, we never told them, knowing that they needed to settle this on their own." Jillyanna also commented with a deep sigh. "Where's Cayenne now?"

Shein's hand flew across the keyboard of his computer, locating Cayenne's current location. "Huh? She's on the move. She's going somewhere."

Somehow, Jillyanna felt nervous with this. She didn't want the same mistake to befall on Cayenne. She overheard Stefan's conversation with Diego before and misunderstood it. She knew that once someone gets drunk, they would start spouting thing that they never really meant. She might be overthinking but she really felt a bad premonition on this matter.

"Stefan is in A's bar." Shein said which confirmed Jillyanna's train of thoughts. "Base on Yen's direction, she should be going to this bar."

Jillyanna ran to her room to get her phone and call Cayenne. However, Cayenne didn't pick up her calls. She dialed the number again and again but it was to no avail. 'Oh god! Yen, you can't go there.'

Jillyanna's prayer wasn't answered.

Cayenne arrived at the place and got out of the car, not waiting for the driver to give her the change. The place was so loud. The colorful lights were blinding her. Throngs of people came in and out. Women were wearing revealing clothes and there were some who were making out despite the crowd around them.

The loud and fast beat of the song almost caused her to go deaf but she still went inside to find her husband. Men tried hooking up with her but Cayenne politely refused, saying that someone was waiting for her. Thankfully, she wasn't harassed by anyone.

She continued to move forward, seeing women grinding their body with men. A lot of them were drunk and the stench of the alcohol lingered in the place, assaulting her nose.

She looked around and the place and found Stefan sitting on a stool in the counter area. Chris was also with him.

"Stefan." Cayenne called his name but he didn't hear her. "Stefan, let's go home." She shook his shoulders but Stefan just shrugged her off.

"Chris, stop shaking me. It makes me feel dizzy." Stefan stated in a drunk stupor.

Chris was worried for Cayenne who seemed hurt while watching Stefan in front of her. "Stefan, Cayenne is here. She's taking you back." Chris told Stefan but then, realization hits him. "Lady boss, how did you get here?"

"Me? I received a message that he's here and drunk. I just wanted to take him home."

"Who sent you the message?"

"I don't know. It was an unknown number." Cayenne turned back to Stefan and took away the glass of brandy from him. "Stefan, let's go home. Don't get drunk. You will have a huge headache tomorrow because of this."

"No! I don't want to go home." Stefan pushed Cayenne away, making her took several steps back in staggering manner. "I can't believe she lied to me about this."

"Stefan you said it to me thrice already. You don't have to say it again." Chris tried stopping him from spouting nonsense because the subject of their conversation was just in front of them. "Let me send you home, alright. Tomorrow, just talk to lady boss about it."

"Lady boss? She won't be the lady boss anymore. Did you know that I only married her because of my illness? But in the last three days, I proved that I am fine. I can sleep without her."

"Stefan stop talking. Let's go home."

"I will divorce her. It's time to divorce her then I can get those shares back. I can take them back."

Chris couldn't hold himself anymore. Knowing that Stefan just ruined his own happiness, his fist sent Stefan flying. "Yen, he was just spouting nonsense because he's drunk. Don't take his words to heart."

Cayenne smiled but it was a sad one. "Chris, there's a saying that kind and drunk people don't lie. They speak what is truly inside their mind. You don't have to say anything to make me feel at ease. I have seen this coming the moment he appeared in city jail." She bowed her head deeply in front of him in gratefulness. "Thanks for trying to stop him. And please take care of him. I'll go back home first."

"Yen, why don't you go home together?"

"There's no need. I have some matters to tend to as well."

Cayenne turned around and walked calmly out of the bar. Only her tears betrayed what she truly felt. 'I knew this would happen. I already have this bad feeling when he showed up. If I had known this would happen, I would never tell him about Jonas. But a relationship built with lies, it would still crumble down.' Her thoughts were messy and she felt emotionally tired. Even so, she continued to stand strong. 'What Stefan needed is freedom.' She told herself as she hailed a taxi.

"Where to ma'am?"

"To the City Hall's Marriage and Civils' Affairs."

Not far from the bar, Seiji watched Cayenne board the taxi. He followed her and found that she went to the City Hall. 'Looks like I won this game again. Well, it's not my fault that Stefan was an idiot.'
