Cayenne wasn't really asleep. She was thinking about the things she learned during the short meeting she had with the three people earlier. Apparently, Sieji knew the Rule family. Not just the type of familiarity between acquaintance but the kind of familiarity that goes way back to their ancestors, probably.

  'Since they wanted me to marry Seiji, does that mean that the old man wanted to marry me off to someone for convenience? Why didn't he do that to Diana or to Artemis? Why must he ruin my life? Such an evil person, why does God allow him to continue to live?' Cayenne asked herself one question after another with no one to answer her.

  She took a deep breath and cuddled the pillow a little bit closer to her body, appearing scared on the monitor in front of Olivia. That's what she wanted them to think when she's practically awake.

  'Wait a minute! Since they specifically looked for me just to marry Seiji, does that mean that Seiji knew my other identity beforehand? Or does the old man know that Seiji likes me?' Cayenne contemplated over this question for a little longer. She had this feeling that these questions were much closer to the truth before her eyes.

  'Is Seiji lying to me? But he's helping me now, right?' She asked herself once again. During the time that Cayenne was closing her eyes which was almost two hours, she accumulated so many questions that she wanted to so much to ask but she couldn't……

  Two hours later, she rubbed her yes and opened them. She looked around her bedroom and after confirming she was still in the same place, she curled her body and pulled the blanket over her body until it reaches her neck. She slid her hands under her pillow and reached for the phone that Seiji left her.

  She wanted to place it inside her pocket but the problem was, she didn't have a pocket. She was wearing a dress so where could she put it? Cayenne thought about it and something came to her mind. "It doesn't matter if I have to do this." She lifted the skirt of her dress and slid the phone on her bloomer shorts. The only thing that's keeping it in place was the garter of her shorts and underwear.

  She sat up on her bed, stretched her arms and legs before lifting the blanket away from her body. She turned to get the pillow, hugged it for few seconds and carefully placed it on her bed before going to the bathroom.

  Olivia, who's been monitoring Cayenne's activities in her room, didn't notice anything wrong. In her view, Cayenne was still acting like a woman who was madly in love with her fiancé who reunited with her. She was even hugging the pillow that he used to put in her back.

  Olivia watched Cayenne walked towards the bathroom and closed the door. Only the bathroom didn't have surveillance camera which made it easier for Cayenne to contact someone. She pulled out the phone beneath her dress and opened it; only to find so many messages coming from his secretary. Well, the messages came from his secretary's number but when Cayenne read them, she knew that they came from Seiji.

  "We cannot contact Stefan at the moment. Diana sent someone to monitor my activities. If come in contact with Stefan, they would know that we're just playing pretend."

  "Also, make sure that the phone is in silent mode all the time."

  "I will come and visit you in three days again to talk our 'wedding'"

  "Your grandfather has contacted my grandpa about the wedding. Thankfully, I have told my grandpa the truth and he's taking our side."

  "My mother likes to meet you, though. She's been wanting to meet the girl that I like but she knows that you are married. I also informed her of our situation. We'll my parents and my grandfather know. The rest, I didn't bother telling them."

  "If you read these messages, just send me a reply at your convenience. I'm using my secretary's phone to contact my personal number."

  Cayenne finished reading the messages and clicked the reply button. "Don't tell Stefan yet. I want to be the one to tell him. We can't afford to raise any suspicions from the Rule family. Also, help me get evidences of their evil deeds and I will not mind the fact that you colluded with them. I know that you didn't mean for all of this to happen but you were planning to join them if I have lost my memories, weren't you?"

  Secretary Fang received a notification coming from Seiji's number. Without looking at the content, he gave his phone to Seiji. "Mr. President, there's a message coming from Ms. Cayenne."

  Seiji reach his hand for the phone and read the content but the moment he finished reading it, he smiled faintly. "You are right. If you lost your memories, I would board on their ship and become their accomplice. Yen, you know how much I like you and this is also the reason why I'm helping you. I don't want you to hate me. As much as I want to be selfish and keep you to myself, I also know that you'd be happiest when with him. I can't compare to your husband. Anyway, as long as you're careful and won't lost your memories, I won't lie to you either. You should know that I'm opportunist."

  "Thankfully, I didn't. Seiji, I will trust you this time. Please don't break it because this will be the last time. If you can't do it, I'll be forced to just kill myself. I'd rather die than betray my husband."

  "I know." Seiji replied shortly. He knew that she meant everything that she said and it hurts him like hell. He wanted her to be his. Diana even helped him erase her marriage records. He did so many things for her but on the last step, everything crumbled. Cayenne didn't lose her memories and she didn't drink the medicine that the doctor gave her. From the moment she woke up, she was already vigilant against everyone. "Yenyen, I'll definitely bring you back to your husband."

  "Thank you."

  Cayenne had been taking so much time inside the comfort room and Olivia was getting suspicious. Just as she was about to leave the monitoring room and check on her, Cayenne came out while pressing her stomach.

  "Go and check that woman. She seems to be pain." Olivia told the doctor who was eating some fruits at the window while looking at the scenery outside. "Hurry up."

  "Okay." The doctor left immediately and went to Cayenne's room. "Ms. Rule? Are you awake?" he knocked on her door but Cayenne didn't answer while clutching her stomach.

  'Thud.'

  A faint thudding sound alerted the doctor that something has happened. He opened Cayenne's door and saw her lying on the floor while curling her body. She was still pressing her stomach with a painful expression showing on her face.

  "Let me get you to bed. What happened?"

  "I think I ate something bad earlier. When I woke up, my stomach was growling and I went to the comfort to have some release. Cayenne was just about to lie on her bed when she stood up and ran to the bathroom again.

  As soon as she was inside, she checked the phone on the cupboard and didn't see any messages from Seiji. She picked up the phone, put it inside a plastic and wrapped it several times with plastic before placing on the sink. She lifted the cover of the toilet tank, placed the sealed phone on top of the refill tube. The water won't reach the phone which relieves her. She covered it again and flushed the bowl as if she was really using it.

  When she came out again, she took a deep breath and sighed. "I need warm water. Help me go to the kitchen."

  "No need. I'll get some for you." The doctor helped her back to bed and as soon as she was lying comfortably, he left to get some water from the kitchen.

  When he came back, Cayenne held the mug and took a sip of the cold water. In truth, she held the water in her mouth and was just pretending to gulp. She didn't drink all of it either. She placed the mug on her bedside drawer and laid her body back on the bed. As soon as the doctor left, she spit the water on the face towel that she kept underneath her extra pillow.

  You may think she's being dirty but that's the only way she can think of to survive. She wouldn't dare eat anything that they provide her. She didn't know what they put in her when she was unconscious and she can't let them do it now that she's awake.

  "I need to convince Seiji to get me out of here." Cayenne whispered while thinking of different plans that could help her get out of this quagmire she was in. "I need to see Stefan soon. He must be worried sick. I can't let him be in the dark for so long."
