I can't... can't find her anywhere."Different thoughts race through my mind as I band my hand on my head. Without hesitation or even changing my clothes, I stormed out of the hotel room and went to the CCTV room to check the footage. The footage showed that she left the hotel and got into a cab, which headed to God knows where, but the good thing was that the cab driver works for this hotel, which means he must have returned back immediately after dropping her off."Get the car immediately. I will find the driver," I ordered Kingsley as I headed out.On my way, I met with mom, who asked me what was going on, and I told her about Emelia going missing when she saw the message about her. I didn't have time to explain much so I begged her to help me sort out the messages that were going around and I left with May to search for the driver. Upon finding the driver, he told us that he dropped her o
CASSIUS'S POVUpon arriving at the hotel, Mary and I checked into our room. As soon as we entered, I yanked my arm from hers and walked over to the bed. I jumped onto the bed, grabbed my phone and decided to check the company's forums because I was sure everyone would be thrilled about this trip especially since they got a chance to lodge at one of our most expensive hotels."Why the heck did you do that? Did I offend you again?" Mary asked.I didn't reply, which only seemed to frustrate her more."Cassius, I'm talking to you right now, and I think I demand an answer. Why did you yank your hand off mine?"Her questions were annoying, and I wondered if she’s deliberately doing this. I dropped my phone and sat up, with my gaze fixed on her."Are you done?""No, I'm not. I still have a lot of things to say."She fiddled with her fingers and bit her lower lip, indicating her tension. I wondered if it was a common thing in their family because Emelia used to do the same.What the heck, why
Cassius has been absent for quite a while now, and he hasn't returned. Is he perhaps trying to catch some sleep in the restroom or what? I scanned around, trying to catch a glimpse of him, but I couldn't even see his shadow."Or is he embarrassed to show his face?" I pondered as I noticed that Mary or Kingsley were not in this plane but on the other ones.Trying to put the matter aside and focus on myself rather than dwelling on other people's problems, I reclined into my seat again to take a nap, but it's just not working.“Come to think of it, he's probably already embarrassed for saying those words to you. What else do I want again as he's already punished?" I murmured to myself, rising from my seat, heading to the restroom.I leaned against the door and knocked softly, whispering in a hoarse male voice, "Sir Cassius, I know you are in there, but I really need to use the toilet."I used my hand to cover my mouth, trying to suppress my giggling because I can't believe I was acting
"Are you sure it's fine for me to go along with you?" "Of course, it's fine," I replied confidently as I steered the steering to the left side while driving to A&R airport. "Okay, since you said so, then I will believe you," she said, and I chuckled softly at her words. "But have you ever met your dad? No, I meant Mary's dad, about what his wife told you the other day." May's question makes my stomach churn as I remembered what Lydia said the other day about me being her husband's illegitimate child, which he had from an affair years ago. I felt a mix of anxiety and curiosity as I really got a lot of questions to ask him since it looks like he was the one who brought me home. "No, I haven't, but I’ll do that immediately I'm back from this trip. I really have a lot of questions to ask him." "Oops, okay." The drive to the airport was filled with May's incessant chattering about her past with Bastoon, and I wondered if there was any difference between her and my kids, who also use
EMELIA'S POV"You are the one who definitely said you picked it from a box, so how is it possible to be rigged?" Maverick asked as he dished out food on the dining table while I sat with my left hand on my chin, thinking about what happened yesterday."Yeah, I know that, but I definitely saw that lady smiling at me before I picked up the number. I definitely know something was wrong somewhere.""Ok, is she supposed to be crying? No matter how much you try to say it, I can't think of a specific logic for that unless all the numbers in the box are the same.""Then why is it that both Cassius and Mary always pick the same number for the past five years? Camile and her husband also used to pick the same number always, so there is definitely a hand pulling some kind of strings somewhere," I said as I used my right hand to pick up a fork and put it in my mouth, gritting my teeth on it.Maverick moved closer to me and held the fork, asking me to let it go immediately, and I did so."You shou
The blaring alarm sounds woke me up as I rolled over in the huge bed to reach the tip to switch it off. Letting out a loud sigh of frustration, I look at the empty bed again, and a pain surges through my heart. It's been three days now since Cassius has been avoiding me and won't even sleep in the same room with me. He has been sleeping in the guest room. I already realized that I was the one at fault and even called Dad, who explained the reasons why they did what they did.Part of me really does not want to believe him because I had always known Emelia to be their favorite kid, and Mom always compared us to each other, telling me to be like her for once. And now I learned they sent her out of the house to protect my own happiness or perhaps to ensure this alliance was successful because they had the most to gain from it as the Aldriches had made a full investment in Dad's company and Mom's gallery. They both claimed they did it for me, but I really doubt that because the truth was,
MARY'S POV“Make sure you take good care of yourself.""Sure, I will, but do not tell Cassius about it. I really do not want him to be worried.""Okay, I won't. Bye."I ended the call with Lee Sun, who just told me that he got into an accident six months ago and has been in a wheelchair since then. I got his number from Kira as I don't have it. This was the only friend of Cassius named Lee Sun, so which Lee Sun did Cassius went to meet at the hotel?I thought he told me not to keep anything away from each other, to always be truthful about everything, and now he’s breaking away from the rules he laid. The one who has been lying to me all this time claiming that he will never accept Emelia or her kids.I huffed as I checked the time again, and it’s now past eight, and he's still not back home. I glanced back at the food, which had now become cold, and this is the fourth time that I would order the maids to have it reheated."Miranda," I called one of the maids and ordered her to disp
The drive was very silent as I felt a little awkward sitting with the two kids, who kept their distance from me despite sharing the back seat with me.When I volunteered to take them, they both refused bluntly. What surprised me most was that they stopped crying immediately upon hearing that and even told Emelia they would rather stay than go with me.This was really embarrassing, but what I was really curious about was what Emelia whispered to them that made them suddenly agree to let me take them. If I asked them what their mother whispered, they definitely wouldn't tell me, would they? It's better to keep my mouth shut than to embarrass myself any further."We're there," Kingsley announced, and I turned to explain things to them, but all I got was a frown.The look on their faces made me swallow whatever I had to say. Turning away, I picked up my nose mask and put it on, also grabbing a face cap so I wouldn't be recognized in public. I got out of the car and asked Kingsley to come
“ Why won't I think that when we’re both dating and why would you remember when you’re not the victim? You think highly of yourself as if you have the power to do whatever you want. I'm quite sure you would have had me killed if perhaps I even told you about the pregnancy because I'm sure you are capable of doing that. That’s what you are good at doing, and I am sure you must have inherited it from someone.""You are not trying to drag my family into this, are you? Let whatever happens between us stay between us; do not drag my family into this. I had no idea about all of what you said, so you can't blame me for what I had no idea about. Your parents sending you out of the house wasn't any of my plan, and I didn't even know they would do such a thing and even allowed me to marry their daughter for heaven's sake.”"You know what, I am done with you. There is no need for all this mess, but let me just tell you something, the real reason why I want you to take your...""So the kids won't
