She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 232 - WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY WIFE?

Julia wanted a garden wedding and she wanted it done in their own garden. They have a spacious land and they have a huge garden where they can hold different occasions all throughout the year. It was the property that Stefan gave as a wedding gift. The decoration was done by one of Julia's friends and most of the people invited where just from friends and families. There weren't many businessmen involved.

Cayenne and Stefan arrived few minutes before the wedding started. And because they arrived later than everyone, they got everyone's attention on them.

Stefan didn't care that much since he recognized few faces in the business circle. Cayenne also ignored the looks that everyone gave her since Stefan was holding her hand.

She wore the dress that Stefan bought for her the other day. It was the one with an open back. They sat in the middle rows to make their presence less conspicuous at the same time, still able to see the whole ceremony.

Not long after they have taken their seats, the song Canon by Johann Pachelbel, softly played in the whole garden. The sound of the violin and the piano were so nice to the ears that Cayenne wanted to have her own grand wedding as well. They watched the opening of the ceremony as the bride's maids and groom's men walked down the aisle followed by ring bearer and then flower girl.

Cayenne took a lot of pictures. Even if Julia didn't like her for Stefan, she still wished the groom and the bride to live a happy life.

"Let's have our wedding this October." Stefan whispered to her which made her turn abruptly to face him.

"We-wedding?"

"Yeah. We already registered our marriage but we haven't held our wedding yet."

"I don't mind not having a wedding."

"But I mind it. I want to give you a grand wedding."

Cayenne took a deep breath and sigh. "Instead of giving me a grand wedding, why don't we use that money to help those people in need? It would be more fulfilling."

"I can help them but I can also give you a grand wedding."

"Alright. Let's have it set in October. But you still have to talk to my parents about that."

"Hn. I'll work on that as soon as possible." Stefan replied with a triumphant smile on his lips. The two of them stopped whispering and returned their attention back to the wedding.

The wedding ceremony last an hour and after that, they all went to the reception area which was inside the large mansion. Cayenne and Stefan walked inside and handed their gift to the newly-wed. Julia was being nice to her and didn't embarrass Cayenne in front of everyone.

'It seemed like she's got proper manner.' Cayenne thought while giving a smile to the bride. Sabrina also appeared and gave her gifts and blessings to the couple before walking back to her seat.

There was another program during the reception and it was fun and engaging. There were games that many people enjoyed and there were questions asked to the groom and bride to see how much they knew each other. To everyone's surprise, they knew each other so much and they were polarly opposite to each other. Even so, with the difference they have, they still love each other and supported each other's likes and hobbies. They got along so well despite their opposing nature.

"I didn't expect to see Mr. Dumrique here. Now, I believe that the news was true." A businessman appeared and talked to Stefan while taking glances towards Cayenne.

"Which news is Mr. Lardy referring to?"

"The news about the inheritance. You stopped getting in touch with your family for over a decade. We didn't expect that you would still inherit everything."

"I have the blood of the Dumrique so, it's only right that I get the inheritance."

"That's correct." The man agreed before shifting his gaze towards Cayenne. "And who is this lady with you?"

"This is my wife, Cayenne Ardolf Dumrique." Stefan introduced Cayenne to the man. Since they were standing in a corner, far from the crowd, no one heard his words but he didn't mind it. "Ayen, this is Mr. Lancelot Lardy. He is one of the business partners we have here in Italy."

"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dumrique." The man held her hand and kissed the back of it. "I'm glad to see that Stefan chose to settle with a woman of his choice."

"Nice to meet you, too. It's my happiness to stay by his side as well." Cayenne replied with a smile, her eyes turning to a crescent moon shape.

"I won't take much of your time. I'll go and talk to other people. You guys have fun." Mr. Lardy raised his glass for a toast and left.

Stefan turned to Cayenne and took the wine in her hand before asking a waiter to bring her a glass of juice. "Don't take anything aside from this and don't go anywhere. I'll just use the comfort room for a while. I'll be right back."

"Sure. I'll be right here." Cayenne promised him and leaned on the wall while taking a sip of her juice.

The moment Stefan was out of her sight, a man appeared out of nowhere. He was holding two glasses of wine and handed one to Cayenne.

"I'm sorry. I can't drink wine." Cayenne refused politely and even bowed her head in apology.

"Didn't you know that it's rude to refuse an offer specially in this kind of event?" the man retorted as he continued to step forward towards her. "You should know your place and accept the drink that I'm giving you."

"I'm really sorry, sir but I am not good with wine." Cayenne refused once again but the man kept pressing her. She could see people whispering while looking at her and she even saw Julia smirking at her. Her sister-in-law wasn't planning to help her.

She looked around to find Sabrina but she couldn't find her in the crowd. Suzanne and Maribeth just looked at her with contemptuous smile. Diego was nowhere to be seen as well.

She held her ground and kept a calm face but deep inside, she was already screaming for help. She didn't know where the bathroom was and had no idea when Stefan will be back.

The man already trapped her in his arms and his face was very close to hers. "Sir, you shouldn't force yourself to a woman. You should learn to respect someone."

"Respect? Didn't you come to hook up with the rich people here? Now that I am offering myself, you're trying to act pure like a virgin? Tsk! It's not going to work on me."

"I'm not here to hook up with anyone." Cayenne retorted. Everyone's attention was already at her but she didn't lose hope. She still looked at the crowd to find someone she's familiar with to ask for help. However, Mr. Lardy wasn't around either. 'Where the hell are these people when I need them the most?!' Cayenne exclaimed angrily in her heart.

"What the hell are you doing with my wife?! Get away from her!"
