She's My Sleeping Pill

About half an hour later, Luiz and Clarisse arrived to babysit the triplets with the nannies and bodyguards to help them. Luiz wanted to spend more time with his girlfriend but a lot of people were paying attention to them, especially with all the controversy involving him and Isabelle Ignacio.

In the end, it was Cayenne who thought of a solution for them.

They could spend more time together while babysitting the kids and Clarisse was very into it. She took this chance to learn how to take care of children. Being the only child in the family, she never experienced what it was like to take care of younger kids, so this opportunity was really a blessing in disguise.

"You can just order whatever you want from the hotel, I'll pay for it later," Cayenne told her brother and Clarisse. "I'll leave the triplets in your care. Should something happen, please don't hesitate to call me or Stefan."

"Thanks, sis. Get your wallet prepared," Luiz joked while Cayenne was putting some clothes and a towel in a smaller bag.

"Madam, can I stay here and look after everyone as well?" Rey asked when he came out of the adjacent room with the baby essentials bag. "I told Martin about this personal request of mine and he said he will take care of the Sugo family."

"Grandma and Grandpa will be staying with Uncle Stanley today, right?"

"Yes, they will. Jessie requested them to stay as a sign of blessing from the old couple. They will go back home in two days," Rey answered as he walked to the nanny holding Zeki. "I thought I'd be more helpful here," he added while stealing a glance from Julia and Celestine.

Knowing his secret, Cayenne agreed that he'd be a great help around the kids. "Alright. I'll trust you to look after them. You know what to do already."

"Got it, madam," Rey responded and even gave her a gentlemanly bow.

"Do you want to go and check your room first?" Cayenne told Celestine and Julia. "Julia can go back here and you can come with me, Auntie. Stefan is waiting for us with other people who decided to stay."

"O-okay. I don't mind," Julia said and excitedly picked up her bag. Celestine did the same and went outside while Cayenne led them to their room.

As soon as they left, Rey returned Zeki to the nanny, and along with the other bodyguards, he immediately placed some micro cameras near the bed, the foldable crib, on the balcony, in the mini kitchen, and another one in the small living room where anyone can relax and chill.

They suddenly became so busy that Clarisse was worried. "Are the kids in any danger?" she asked Luiz while holding Jahzara in her arms. "Will we be fine?"

Luiz held Clarisse's hand and kissed the back of it while reassuring her that they will be okay. "We will be fine. Trust my brother-in-law for finding these capable bodyguards."

However, not even three minutes later, Julia returned to the room with some cookies that she personally made. The bodyguards weren't done setting up everything yet.

Rey looked at Luiz and the latter understood that the man needed a little help.

"You are Julia, right?" Luiz asked the woman with a faint smile on his lips. "We're planning to order some food for dinner. Do you have anything you fancy?"

"I'm not a picky eater. You can just order anything. I only want to play with the kids," Julia retorted as she placed the cookies on the table. "Do you want some snacks? You can get if you want."

"Thank you. We appreciate that," Luiz said while walking Julia toward Zeki. "Why don't you play with Zeki? He's the most well-behaved among the triplets."

Instead of feeling relieved that Zeki was a well-behaved kid, Julia felt restless. Every time her eyes met with the child's, she felt like he was staring right into her soul. It felt like he knew what she was thinking and she didn't like that kind of look from him.

"Can I play with the little girl instead?" she asked Clarisse who didn't mind it at all. "What's her name? I forgot to ask Cayenne."

"Oh! This little princess is Jahzara," Clarisse answered while trying to play it cool with Julia. She didn't want the woman to suspect anything around her.

"By the way, we haven't introduced ourselves. I'm Julia, Stefan's cousin," she said while holding Jahzara in her arms. "Sorry, I can't give you a handshake. I don't want to hold the little girl with one hand."

"No, it's fine. I'm Clarisse. I'm Luiz's girlfriend."

Julia raised her eyebrow for a moment, but she didn't say a word. Not long ago, she heard about Luiz having a new girlfriend named Isabelle Ignacio. The two of them even attended the annual charity gala.

In fact, Julia wasn't fond of celebrities or whatnot, but she loved to pay attention to people who will be useful to her in the future, and Luiz was one of these people she'd been keeping her eyes on.

"Have you been together for a long time? You seemed really close to my cousin and cousin-in-law."

"Luiz and I were classmates since primary school. We just had our first anniversary as a couple two months ago."

"I'm sorry, but I'm a little bothered right now. I hope you won't get me wrong. I just want to hear things directly from you instead of listening to other people talk. So, uh... are you really the girlfriend? Why was he together with Isabelle?"

Luiz was playing with Aziel not far from the women, so he heard everything they were talking about and he was not liking it that Julia was prying on their privacy. Though, it was something he should have expected after knowing that the woman would be coming over.

"There are various reasons why we have to do it," Luiz told Julia before Clarisse could say anything. "I hope you won't tell anyone about this."

"Yeah, sure. You are Cayenne's brother and I don't want to mess with people that Cayenne loves."

"I appreciate your kindness."

Deep in her heart, Julia was a little bit scared. The last time she visited Cayenne's office and finally met her, she felt an oppressive aura coming from Cayenne's personal bodyguard. She felt that with one wrong move, the man could very well wring her neck. She saw that man earlier once again, but she was already used to his presence that she just ignored him.

As long as she won't do anything wrong with him in the same quarter as her, she should be fine.

That was what she thought, so she was elated when Cayenne said that she would be leaving the kids with her brother, but will bring Nikolai with her. That meant no killer within her sight.

Unfortunately, before she could even celebrate, another dangerous person came.

Compared to Nikolai, the other man was not that domineering but when he looked at her earlier and grinned, Julia felt goosebumps erupting all over her body. The man was seriously insane. Even if she won't do anything wrong, if the man thinks she was doing something wrong, he could kill her. No logic or reason would work on him,

Right now, Julia was left with no other choice but to pretend she was really happy to be with the kids.
