  The next morning, Stefan woke up with a smile on his face. Cayenne may have been angry last night but the two of them still hugged each other to sleep. Right this moment, she was sleeping in his arms.

  "Good morning, Ayen." Stefan kissed the corner of her lips. "Rise and Shine. We're having a tour today."

  Cayenne stirred for a moment, opened her eyes and when she saw it's him, she turned around and went back to sleep again.

  "Wifey, are you still angry?"

  "Shut up! I'm sleepy." Cayenne covered her ears with her hands while shutting her eyes tightly. "If you want to go on a tour, go by yourself. I'm not interested."

  "I see. I'll just go with Sabrina. Stay here today." Stefan deliberately provoked her but Cayenne didn't say anything against him. She even agreed to him.

  "Go and have fun. I'll behave here. Don't worry, you won't lose face because of me."

  "Ayen, are you fine with your husband going out with some other woman?"

  Cayenne removed the quilt abruptly and sat on the bed. "So, you still remember that you are someone's husband? Then, why are you going out with another woman?"

  "Because you don't want to go with me."

  "Even if that's the case, you're not allowed to go out with another woman! You can find a man and go out with him!" She glared at him angrily but Stefan only laughed at her. "Why are you laughing? Are you insane?"

  "It's just, you are so cute when you get jealous." Stefan replied and pulled her for a warm hug.

  "I'm not jealous."

  "Then, why are you angry?"

  "Because I don't want to be cheated."

  "Don't worry, I won't cheat."

  "Whatever." Cayenne bit her lower lip and buried her face on his chest.

  "Ayen, no matter what happens, no matter what you see or hear, please believe in me. I won't hurt you."

  "Okay."

  Stefan knew that she said 'okay' but, he also knew that she's got too little faith in him. If he makes another mistake, her trust will completely crumble and things would be bad. He needed to be very careful with the people around him. They might plot something against him just to get what they want.

  Cayenne and Stefan dressed up and went downstairs to have breakfast. After eating, they toured around the house wherein, Cayenne found out that there were two houses buildings. The front was the large Victorian house and at the back, there was another garden and fountain with lush pine trees and flowers. Then, another house was built for the workers.

  They didn't go to the smaller house since it was where the servants stayed. They just explored the large mansion. There was a game room where you can play billiard, board games, darts, and other indoor games. There was a gym and an indoor pool. There was a study room with so many books and there were three guest rooms.

  After the house tour, Stefan and Cayenne went to the living room to take a short rest. They were planning to go out and explore Tuscany and have lunch in one of the Italian restaurants that they could find.

  Just as they were about to go out, someone came inside and she was about to hug Stefan.

  Perhaps it was from displeasure and surprise, Cayenne moved quickly and pulled Stefan to her side. The woman hugged an empty air instead.

  "What are you doing?" The woman asked Cayenne with her raised eyebrow. She looked really annoyed with what Cayenne did but Cayenne didn't back down either.

  "Shouldn't I be asking you that question? Where you planning to hug my husband?"

  "Your husband? Don't be ridiculous, Stefan isn't married?"

  Cayenne looked towards Stefan but he didn't say anything. He didn't try to help her out or confirm her words about marriage. "Alright. I'm just joking miss. You can have him." She pushed Stefan towards the woman and walked out the door herself.

  "Stefan, I think we went overboard." Sabrina whispered while watching Cayenne go. "You should have at least confirmed to me that she's your wife. If things go wrong, I'm not at fault here."

  "She'll be fine. I want her to make the decision of going out to public with our relationship."

  "But you know what, I think you will lose her instead of your marriage being known." Sabrina commented. "Anyway, I'm just playing along with you."

  The two of them went out and followed Cayenne. She was already sitting at the back of the car. "Thank you for leaving the front seat for me." Sabrina commented and got inside the car.

  "You're welcome." Cayenne smiled faintly at her before looking outside the car once again. She had no idea where they went to and what place they were talking about. When they asked her a question she'll just answer yes or no. She didn't join in with their conversation, just keeping things to herself. 'If I had known this would happen, I would never agree to this trip.'

  When they stopped in some beautiful places, she'd take a picture of them and send it to her brothers. She likes showing them the places she went to even though she had no idea where she was.

  After two hours, of traveling and stopping for sight seeing and picture taking, they found a place to eat and relax. Cayenne was still silent but from time to time, she would smile while holding her phone. She was chatting with her brothers during their vacant time. Sometimes, she'd chat with Luna.

  "Who are you chatting with?" Stefan asked while trying to look at her phone. And that's when he noticed that something was missing. "Where's the cover of your phone?"

  "I threw it away. I found it…disgusting." Cayenne replied with a smile on her lips. 'He just promised he won't hurt me but not even a day has passed and here he is, hooking up with someone right in front of me. He didn't even confirm our marriage to her. She must be someone he likes which was why he can't divulge our marriage.'

  While Cayenne was lost in her own thoughts, Stefan was devastated.

  "I told you so." Sabrina whispered to him.
