She's My Sleeping Pill

The only difference this time was that, she made use of the internet traffic to create more hype.

Who said she can\'t take advantage of her disadvantageous situation? Don\'t forget she had the best mentor at home.

She opened her social media acct and posted something in response to the blog, something that pissed off her haters even more.

[A secret relationship? He\'s not worth it.]

It was a very short statement but it stirred the hatred of many young fans.

Cayenne watched in glee as more and more people continued to hate her. Some went on to her other social media accounts to bash her, including her YT channel.

While people spent their energy and time bashing her, she was counting her earnings happily.

At the same time, Jackson had tried reaching out to Steve\'s management team, hoping to get some clarifications on the matter.

Unfortunately, the team couldn\'t provide anything.

How can they give their statement when the man involve was missing?

The famous model who claimed to have relationship with Steve was also nowhere to be found.

They just disappeared like bubbles popping in the air.

On the first day that he went missing, fans were clamoring for him to respond to the said rumor. The management were trying their best to get a hold of him as well.

On the second day, fans animosity toward Cayenne increased, saying she was at fault for causing the man to withdraw from the public.

Of course, Cayenne didn\'t let go of this opportunity. She would choose some comments online and respond to it, multiplying the wrath of her anti-fans.

On the third day with no progress, another blog instantly got famous due to its content.

The issue got more complicated.

It pointed out the facts that Steve suddenly went MIA, his management had no idea of his whereabouts either. His friends and families testified that they haven\'t received any form of communication from him either.

The agency of the famous model also left a post pertaining to the woman\'s cancellation of contract following the rumor online. She also changed the status of her social media account into private.

It created another buzz online.

"Stefan probably disposed them. Of course, he could do anything he wanted with money and power."

"Are people so bold now that they could abduct someone whenever that person offended them?"

"Bring Justice To Steve!"

"Bring Justice To Steve!"

"Steve is a good man. He never offended anyone except for Stefan and Cayenne."

"We know how much Mr. Dumrique doted on his wife."

Cayenne frowned as she continued to read the comments online. It was obvious that people were accusing her husband of kidnapping the actor.

"These idiots," she whispered and sighed. Seeing that the issue was getting out of hand, she made use of her resources to resolve it.

"You will all apologize to me!" she posted before turning off the notification so she could get a peace of mind.

Millions of people hated her; and though their weak voices got drowned, thousands of people still continued to support her, waiting for her to slap her haters resoundingly.

Steve had no sense of time inside the tightly sealed room. No food, no water and no human interaction. He was left alone and no one came over to check if he was still alive - most likely waiting for a weeks to ensure his death before giving him his deserved visit.

The only opening he could see was the ventilation airway which was impossible to use due to his large body. He could only probably fit his head and that\'s it. Read the latest on m_v-l\'e-NovelBin

"I just have to hold on," he told himself while staring into space.

He was hungry.

He was thirsty.

Most of all, he missed Athalie.

At this moment, somewhere in D country, within the towering borders and majestic walls, a magnificent palace stood imposingly with its flag waving as the wind blows.

The large embroidered coat of arms showed the mighty eagle\'s claw clutching the lion\'s neck. Just seeing this symbol would make other people tremble in fear. It\'s was a widely known symbol in D country.

It was the sign of victory when the current King George Plantagenet, an illegitimate child, took over the throne using his prowess and intelligence two decades ago.

The world had continued to progress but D country\'s belief was still traditional and closed off from other nations. However, no other aristocrats underestimated their country because of their strong bond with the Darian family, one of the most influential family across Europe.

And the youngest son of the Darian family, Mhalik Darian, was arranged to marry Kassiani Athalie Plantagenet.

In the middle of the grandiose audience hall, Athalie was kneeling in front of her parents. The King and Queen sat on their throne while her siblings sat on the side, watching the start of her demise.

About five hours ago, as soon as she cancelled her contract as a model, she went back home, back to the place that clipped her wings and stole her freedom.

Yes, Athalie, the famous model who came out as Steve\'s girlfriend, the woman who was rumored to have been paid by Cayenne as a scapegoat, was none other than the fifth princess of D country.

Athalie looked directly at her parents, a taboo - a sign of disrespect, but she didn\'t care.

Only this once. Just this once.

She wanted them to see how she truly feel.

"I\'m fully aware of my mistake, but even if I\'m given second chances, I will make the same choices," she said with defiance.

"Do you hear yourself, Athalie?" her mother questioned while her father stared at her as if the person kneeling in front of him wasn\'t his daughter. "Just because we didn\'t drag you back doesn\'t mean we\'re okay with it. We tolerated your actions but marriage is marriage. You.are.not.allowed.to.marry.anyone.else!"

Her mother\'s tone was resolute and firm, but Athalie wasn\'t the least bit affected.

She raised her chin and meet their gazes as she enunciated each word that made her sisters gasped. "Over my dead body!"

Cayenne waited for the investigation results and it took a whole day before Jackson and Shein sent in their compiled report. She read thru it and her brows arched in surprise.

"No wonder," she murmured while scrolling down the pages of the report. "So, I wasn\'t the one who used them, they\'re the one using me."

"What do you mean?" Stefan asked upon hearing his wife\'s words.

Currently, they\'re in the living room of their cozy home - Cayenne with her laptop in front of her and Stefan in the play pen with the kids.

Although the issue had gone haywire, Cayenne still remained calm. The truth was far from everyone\'s imagination and she knew that sooner or later, they will be paying her for the damage they caused.

"There\'s really no issue with Steve Schwargarian," Cayenne began to explain. "The one we needed to pay attention is the model Ariel Hope. Her real name is Kassiani Athalie Plantagenet, daughter of the current King of D country. Does the family name rings a bell to you?"

Stefan\'s eyes darkened when he heard the name but still nodded his head in acknowledgement.

Cayenne continued her explanation, the key points of the issue, along with the possible consequences if they would take action to clarify her name.

They thought that the issue was complicated enough, yet they had no idea that it was a sole conspiracy web created by single person - someone whose hatred knows no bound.
