After the intense activity, Cayenne holed up in their bedroom to take a rest. After some time, she called Justin and talked to the kids in his home. They were so happy to see her safe and sound, Chloe even cried after seeing Cayenne. Among all the other kids, she was closer to Cayenne because she's very sweet and clingy. Other children were reserved and shy compared to Chloe. The two elders at home were relieved to see her as well.
She spent an hour talking to them and after that, she decided to end the call because Justin kept telling her to rest instead even though she has rested enough already.
Left with nothing to do, Cayenne decided to watch a movie until she fell asleep.
Two days later, Monday finally came and Cayenne needed to go back to Xena University but this time, Stefan will be accompanying her. The arrangement that she worked so hard for several months was totally ruined because of her abduction. Now, they will be sticking to each other again. There's just no way Stefan would allow her to leave the house without him.
"Do you like to choose your own clothes today?" Stefan asked her while opening their large wardrobe. He looked at her dress before shifting his gaze to look at her.
"You choose. You have good taste in fashion than me."
"Okay." Stefan put his finger on his chin while contemplating what Cayenne should wear. "You'll have black jeans, white blouse and this brown coat. You can pair it with your black sandals. Just choose the one that you're comfortable with."
"Thanks."
Stefan looked at the bag that she chose to use, opened his mouth to say something but in the end, he kept quiet and just looked for his own clothes to match with hers. Cayenne dressed up as quick as she could while waiting for her husband. "I'll go downstairs and grab some stuffs."
"Sure."
Although she said that she'd grab something, she didn't bring her bag. Stefan opened it and found her careless wife. "I told her already that her period will come in three or four days. She didn't listen to me." He muttered to himself and pulled out a backpack from the closet. He stuffed some sanitary pads on it, the electric hot compress pack and another pair of jeans. As soon as he was done preparing, he went out of their room with her handbag and his backpack.
"You are bringing your laptop?" Cayenne asked when she saw him holding his own bag. "Will you be able to work there? It will be very noisy."
"I'll manage." Stefan replied and have the handbag to her. "I'll just get something from the kitchen."
"O-okay." Cayenne received her bag and put the different kinds of chocolates inside. She's really likes sweets and she needed those to keep her awake in class.
Stefan went to the kitchen and looked for the insulated tumbler. He put a teaspoon of ginger powder and placed it inside his bag before going back to the living room. "Let's go."
Stefan didn't drive his own car this time. Both he and Cayenne got inside the backseat and one of the guards drove for them while another guard sat on the front seat. Their vehicle was escorted by four cars with five bodyguards inside each car. All of them were licensed to hold a gun and they all have one. If needed, they can shoot someone.
Inside each of the car, there were ammunitions and firearms as well. If someone ambush them, be it in the city or in the countryside, they will be able to fight back.
These bodyguards were the people appointed by Stefan. There was another car following them from a distance which was sent by Reuben. Cayenne was now heavily guarded. If someone wants to do something, they will have to pass through these guards first.
"Why am I heavily guarded? I'm not even this country's president."
"You are not nor am I but, that didn't make us have less enemies."
"I don't have enemies, you have." Cayenne snorted.
"Right. I am the one who got enemies but since you are my weakness, they will go after you."
"Hmp! Your enemies are coward, going after a weak woman like me."
"Yeah, right. You are so weak which makes you ruin the Rule family." Stefan stated as she pinched her face and kissed the tip of her nose. "Anyone who will touch you with hidden motives will surely suffer because you are so weak."
"Hey! Are you making fun of me?"
"Of course, not." Stefan pulled her close and hugged her. "Nothing bad will happene to you ever again. I won't let anyone hurt you again."
Cayenne snuggled closer and kissed his cheek. "I know that. I believe in you after all, you are the man I chose to live with for the rest of my life."
With their flirting here and there, casual conversation and faint laughter, the two of them didn't notice that they have arrived at the university already. Seeing the familiar convoy, the students stopped on their track and waited for the owner to step out. The bodyguards went out first after parking their cars. Forming a two-layer circle with their bodies, Cayenne and Stefan stepped out car and get into the safe zone which was inside the circle.
"Cayenne is really back."
"Her husband has tightened the security around her. Will we be able to talk to her?"
"Cayenne looked thinner."
"I hope she remembers a little bit about us."
"Stefan must be really worried for him to triple the number of her bodyguards."
"Will he be coming to school with her everyday?"
Students whispered to each other while looking to Cayenne's and Stefan's direction. Some started walking to their classroom while others were taking pictures.
"Yenyen!" Cayenne whipped her head to look where the voice came from. She knew it was Noah who called her but she needed to pretend that she didn't know. She looked around and found him waving towards her. "Yenyen!" Cayenne blinked her eyes and looked towards Stefan and the bodyguards.
"Who is he?"
