She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 279 - MADNESS

"Sir, the guard was different this time. And he\'s very difficult to deal with."

"Then, get rid of that guard!"

The man on the other line was shocked and his face darkened. "Sir, we accepted this work because you said that we don\'t have to kill anyone but now, you\'re ordering us to kill an innocent guard? Even a million won\'t help us offset this crime. If you want to get rid of that guard, do it yourself or else, we\'re quitting."

Arthur was so angry that he crushed the flower under his foot. "Whatever. Just continue to follow the secretary for now and her siblings."

"Yes, sir."

Arthur ended the call and angrily punched the table in front of him. They missed a great opportunity again.

They didn\'t have any idea that they were all in the palms of Stefan and he was just playing them. He still didn\'t know that it was Arthur who sent those men. All that he knew was that Cayenne will be in danger if he won\'t take action against those stalkers.

Kirin heard the noise coming from her son\'s room. Worried that something has happened, she knocked on his door to see how he was doing. Arthur opened the door and resentment was clear and evident in his eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Kirin asked his son with a deep frown reflecting on her face. "Don\'t look at me as if I ruin your life."

"Didn\'t you?" Arthur retorted which made his mother gasp in shock. It was the first time that he talked back to her.

"Arthur! What has gotten into you?! Why are you talking back to me now?"

"Mom, why did you have to push Cayenne away? Why did you have to belittle her? Why did you have to cut our relationship? You know how much she means to me. You know I\'ve always liked her since we were young. Why did you have to ruin my happiness? And look at her now, she fell into someone\'s arms. She should be mine to begin with. But you pushed her away to someone else." His voice was low like he was mumbling on his own but the words were clear for his mother to hear as well as the deep rising anger that he felt. "How could you do this to me?"

"Arthur, there are other girls who are more deserving to be paired with you. Why must you force yourself on her?"

"Because she\'s the one I like. She\'s the one that I love! She\'s the only woman that I will ever love! I don\'t care about the other girls!"

"If you love her, you should let her go! Why must you cling to her when she doesn\'t even like you the same way that you do? Arthur wake up! Cayenne was never meant to be yours. Even if I didn\'t push her away, if she was fated to be with Stefan, she would still end up in his arms! Don\'t be so foolish!"

Arthur closed off his hears from whatever his mother was saying. He didn\'t listen to her. His mind and his heart were closed to the point that no one can enter it anymore. He didn\'t want to let go of Cayenne.

"If I can\'t have her, no one else can." Arthur muttered which horrified his mother. For a moment, she wanted to help her son to get Cayenne back, just to make him happy once again.

"No, this can\'t be. Arthur!" Her mother slapped him which brought Arthur back to reality and put his attention to her. "You can\'t be willful. Cayenne is already happy with someone. You should move on as well. Please don\'t do something that you will regret."

"Mom, I have done so many things that I regretted in the past but this time, I won\'t regret whatever the outcome is. Even if I end up going to jail."

"No, son. You can\'t! You can\'t do this! What about me? Cole already left. Are you leaving me, too?"

Arthur looked at his mother but he didn\'t say anything. Everything has been planned. He didn\'t need a second opinion or an advice.

Kirin looked at her son in dismay. If she can go back in time, she wouldn\'t push Cayenne away from him. She had no idea that he\'d go mad because of her.

"Do whatever you want." Kirin turned around and left his room. When she\'s out, she went to the storage room and looked for a padlock and a key. She\'s going to lock her son instead of letting him ran about with dangerous idea in his head. She can\'t let him do something so foolish.

A shadow fell over her and when she turned around, Arthur hit the back of her head. Losing her consciousness, she collapsed and fell into her son\'s arms. "I\'m sorry, mom."

Arthur carried his mother to her bed room and reminded their caretaker to make sure that his mother is well-taken cared of. Then, he left with no intention of going back again. He has a secret place that his mother and brother didn\'t know. A place that he bought with the thought of living with Cayenne before. Everything was all prepared but the person he wanted to live there was currently living with someone else.

\'I\'m back.\' He thought but no one was there to welcome him. "I won\'t let any man have you. And I won\'t let anyone hinder my plans. Yenyen, you should be with me instead. I even bought this place for you."

Cayenne\'s pictures were hanging on the wall. Some were placed on top of the shelves and some of them were lying on the coffee table. There were so many pictures of her as if she lives there herself.
