She's My Sleeping Pill

Cayenne's schedule became so full with so many things that were about to happen, but she still made sure to have time for her kids and her husband. Her family was her main priority which was why she was doing all these things. He wanted to give her children comfortable lives.

Though Stefan could give it to them, she also wanted to share the burden with him and not just wait for him to provide for their needs.

Today, her schedule was to attend Chris and Rissy's wedding with her family. It was just a simple military wedding with close friends and families.

Major General Ian Hawkins was there along with other military commanders who were close to Chris. Rissy's students also attended the wedding except for those who went abroad to continue their studies under some special scholarship grants,

Knock. Knock. Knock.

"Ms. Chan, two former students of yours came to see you," said the guard through the intercom while standing outside Rissy's bridal room. "Should I let them in?"

"Yes, please."

The door was pushed open and Rissy saw Luiz with Clarisse. The two of them gave her a hug while carefully avoiding her beautiful hairstyle.

"I'm so glad you both made time for me," Rissy said as she shifted her gaze between them. "What brings you guys here? Can't wait to see the bride? You are more excited than my future husband, huh?"

Luiz chuckled at her words, happy that Rissy could now joke with them after a long struggle with her mental health after that traumatic incident over a year ago. "Indeed, we can't wait to see how pretty our teacher is."

"Alright, stop flattering me. I know that is not the case. Is there something wrong?"

"Actually, it's more about me and Clarisse. Teacher Chan, you must have heard about me having another woman, right?" Rissy nodded in response to this question. "The truth is, Belle isn't my girlfriend and would never be my girlfriend. Everything is just an act, so we came here ahead of time to tell you about this."

"You were worried that I would step on a landmine regarding you two?" The two students nodded. "Don't worry, I respect your choices. I never really had any intention to confront you two about what happened but I am glad that you took this opportunity to tell me the truth."

"Aside from that, we came here to give you our gift," Clarisse said and handed the gift that she and Luiz bought with their own pocket money. "It's not much, but we hope you will like it."

Rissy accepted the gift box happily and thanked them. She wanted to open them as soon as she can, but there was still the wedding ceremony she needed to go through before officially becoming Mrs. Rissy Hawkins. "Thank you so much. I'll ask the guard to bring this to the bridal car. This will be the first gift I'll open later."

"Nah. That's not true. Unless you would open the gift on the way to your house," Luiz retorted which made Clarisse frown a little.

However, upon hearing his words, Rissy realized what Luiz meant. "You are right. The first gift I'd be opening later is the one from your sister and brother-in-law."

"I know. I went there one time to help them. You will be happy to see the outcome," Luiz responded with an excited expression on his face. The living room that Cayenne and Stefan decorated was truly beautiful.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

The three of them looked to the door when the guard standing outside spoke. "Ms. Chan, the wedding organizer is here to get you. The wedding will be starting in three minutes. You need to be in position for the ceremony."

"Got it," Rissy said and stood up.

At the same time, the door was pushed open and a pretty woman came inside to get Rissy. She helped the bride in holding the gown to make sure she won't trip on it.

Luiz and Clarisse also came out and separated their ways before reaching the venue. Luiz was the groom's best man, and he just came on time to walk down the aisle after his Uncle Chris and stood next to him close to the altar. "Should I start calling her auntie?" Luiz whispered which caused Chris to chuckle faintly.

He can't imagine Rissy's reaction if she hears someone call her auntie when she was still very young.

"Try and see what she would do to you," Chris responded without taking his eyes off from the main entrance. He knew that behind that double door was his future wife. The only woman he ever loved since he was born into this world.

The little princess of the Madrigal family caught the eyes of many people once again. This was her third time being a flower girl and whenever she walks down the aisle, all eyes would follow her.

She had that innocent and beautiful smile that captivates everyone of all ages.

In fact, some wealthy parents had enrolled their male kids in Trine Elite University after going through harsh tutorials just to make sure that their children get the chance to befriend the only princess of Travis and Jillyanna. Unfortunately, Jade was very good at spotting people with malicious intentions, especially kids who didn't know how to cover their true emotions.

She didn't like talking to idiots, too. In the end, the only kid who caught her interest was Ethan and they became friends for almost three years now.

Jade scattered the flower petals on the aisle while keeping a bright smile on her face. When she almost reached the end of it and saw Chris, she lifted her skirt a little and made a graceful princess-like bow. "I wish you everlasting happiness, Uncle Chris," she said before moving on to find her seat with the guide of the wedding organizer.

After a few minutes of waiting, the door was finally opened and Chris saw his life standing there. She was so beautiful in his eyes and he willingly let her hold him captive in her heart. He couldn't take his eyes away from her. He didn't even want to blink, thinking that if he would, she would vanish like a bubble that pops in the air.

Seeing his intense gaze, Luiz leaned a little closer and whispered, "Uncle Chris, you should give me a prize for introducing you to this amazing treasure,"

"Yeah, I will," Chris replied softly while watching Rissy walk down the aisle toward him.
