She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 520 - SHE'S THE MASTERMIND

During lunch, Diana looked towards Cayenne but she didn't say anything else. Nikko Rule talked about the upcoming meeting and nothing else. He didn't even ask for Cayenne's opinion regarding 'her' own wedding. Seiji acted like he cared and expressed his opinions on the matter of his wedding,

Artemis was only stealing glances from everyone but just like her sister, she didn't make any comment regarding the wedding. However, she talked to Cayenne about other things as if they were really close.

"Grandpa, can I bring Cayenne home? My mother wanted to see her again before the wedding. I'll bring her home tomorrow morning."

Not just Cayenne, but almost everyone was holding their breath, waiting for Nikko Rule's answer. They have different reasons why they were eager to know the answer.

"Grandpa, why don't you allow Yena to visit her in-laws? They must have been worried after what happened?" Diana stated without looking towards Cayenne. She was only looking at the old man who was sitting imposingly at the end of the table.

Nikko took a deep breath and sighed. There was obvious reluctance on his face but he still agreed anyway. "I'll allow you to go and visit your in-laws. However, you have to come home tomorrow and make sure to call us in order for us to know that you are doing well. I don't want you to have a relapse."

"Yes grandpa." Cayenne agreed.

"Thank you, grandpa." Seiji also expressed his gratitude with a smile on his face. He glanced towards Diana who was eating happily but he didn't stare at her for a long time. He was wondering why she helped them but he also dismissed this mind-boggling incident as soon as it occurred in his mind.

After lunch, Cayenne went back to her room with Diana following her. The latter used the excuse of helping her pack which was why she was following closely behind her. Seiji stayed in the living room to talk with the old man and Artemis, pretending that they were all having a good relationship.

As soon as Diana got inside Cayenne's room, she looked outside – from left to right, making sure that no one has followed them secretly. She closed the door of the room and quickly approached Cayenne. "I don't care what will happen to that old man. All of us inside this house are his chess pawns. If you can't do deal with him before or on your wedding day, I won't be able to help you anymore."

"I know. Don't worry, everything's moving according to plan." Cayenne responded while looking for a bag where she could place some extra clothes. "I have asked my husband to block you from Seiji's phone in that way, our play would look realistic. As for your parents, I'll ask someone to help you look for them."

"If you didn't tell me what really happened to your mom, I would probably remain blind for the rest of my life. I would be his willing pawn if you hadn't informed me of what happened to Aunt Amethyst."

"I can't really blame you. You grew up with him after all. It's really hard to believe that someone so close to you has been deceiving you all this time."

Diana sat on Cayenne's bed and rubbed her face with both her hands. On the day that she met with Cayenne and asked for her number, Cayenne told her about the incident which caused her to hate the Rule family that much. Since Cayenne uncovered this information, she also believed that she would know the truth.

And what she found brought chills down her spine. She couldn't believe it. She didn't want to believe it. And then, she realized the sudden disappearance of her parents.

"I'm sorry I had to drag you in this internal dispute and crime schemes." Diana muttered in apology.

"Don't worry. If not for your warning, I wouldn't be able to take precautions." Cayenne stated with a faint smile on her lips. If it was before, there's no doubt that she'd glare at the woman in front of her and probably throw daggers at her. However, during the time that she was abducted, Cayenne was still able to catch a glimpse of the message that Diana sent. She didn't get to read it clearly because she stepped on it but she read something with 'kidnapping', 'grandpa', 'now' and 'you.' Putting these words together, she concluded that the men who were trying to abduct her were sent by Nikko Rule. Since he was relentless and won't give up in getting her back. Cayenne played along which brought her to where she was now. "It's thanks to you that I am still fine now." Cayenne added as she carried the bag which contains some of her personal belonging and walked towards the door. "Let's go and continue this play."

"Sure."

The two of them came out and Cayenne walked towards Seiji directly. He took her bag from her and they bid farewell to the whole family.

As soon as the 'couple' left, Nikko turned towards Diana. "Follow them and closely monitor the two of them."

"Yes, grandpa." Diana followed the two people as per order but there was a smirk on her lips. She's selfish and she thinks of nothing but personal gain but, so what? As long as she can obtain the things she wants, she wouldn't hesitate to disobey her grandfather. She wasn't feeling guilty by doing so as well. Compared to her, Nikko Rule was far more of a beast or a cold-blooded demon. He could even kill his own children, people who came from his own flesh and blood.

Seiji noticed Diana following them and Cayenne looked back as well. There's no need to follow them secretly. All four people were just making a play to fool the old man.

The master mind behind all this was none other than Cayenne. Many people think she's kind and compassionate but at this point, you couldn't find traces of those traits. Right now, she's ruthless.

Seiji trusted Artemis since they have known each other for quite sometime due to family relationships. Cayenne trusted Artemis to help them because Seiji trusted her. At the same time, she trusted Diana because of their common goal which was to cut ties with the Rule family.

Diana didn't want Cayenne to join their family. Cayenne didn't want to join their family. If they work together, isn't it a win-win situation? Thus, Cayenne knew that Diana won't betray her even if they were enemies.

Seiji and Cayenne arrived at the villa where his parents currently stayed. Because of the wedding that they needed to play, the Sy family has to fly from Singapore to country C in order to join hands with the Rule family for preparation. However, since Seiji's grandfather was still a little bit weak, Seiji told them not to leave the house and that Cayenne will just visit them.

If this wedding was real and if Cayenne was really in love with Seiji, his whole family would be very happy. Ever since he was in high school and accidentally met Cayenne during a field trip which happens in City A, Seiji has been very clear to his goal. One day, he would marry her and make her the most beautiful bride in the whole world. He didn't know why but he just thought to himself that Cayenne was the one for him.

So, he worked so hard just to transfer to her school and make sure to be friend her. He was upset that there was an annoying man names Arthur who always stuck himself close to her but since Cayenne considered him as an important friend, he didn't mind the annoying monkey anymore.

"Good afternoon, auntie." Cayenne greeted Seiji's mother. "I hope I am not disturbing you this time."

"No, not at all. We're glad that you can make it here. How are you?"

"I'm good. Thank you for asking." Cayenne smiled shyly. Even though she can be considered close to Seiji, it was the first time that Cayenne really met his parents. She was a bit embarrassed and guilty for getting them involved in this scheme that she has plan for Nikko Rule.

"You don't have to be so tense around us. We have heard so much about you from Seiji."

Seiji looked at his mother with wide eyes, glaring at her, warning her not to say anything embarrassing. After all, he said so many things to his mother before. Since Seiji is a guy, many of must have thought that he would be close to his father but it was actually the opposite. Seiji was very close to his mother and he shared so many things about Cayenne before. If his mother would be given the chance to narrate what she knew, one week won't be enough to recall all those memories.

"Come to think of it. This isn't actually the first time that we met." Seiji's mom commented. "I saw you in City A before but I think you didn't remember that now."
