Now torn between two sisters; one who gave birth to his child and seeks revenge on him and his family and the other one to whom he is legally married and owes a debt. Will Cassius be able to survive this or will he burn in her rage.
View MoreCassius 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
I stood by my car for a while, contemplating what I was going to tell them about the reason for my suddenly changed mind. Emelia would definitely mock me, and considering how I pushed her away in the morning, it would only anger her more. This is really getting annoying."Aren't you getting out?" Kingsley asked me, but I didn't reply to his question.Then I suddenly thought of sending him instead, but Grandfather might be aware of this and might suddenly decide to... ahh, this was really one hell of a shot as I was about to lose my ego. After all the crap I pulled last time, I was here again to do what?I suddenly heard the door opening, and I quickly lowered my head so that Emelia wouldn't see me. She went to dispose of some refuse, and as she’s coming back, heading inside, she suddenly stopped, turned around and started approaching my car."What should we do? It seems she’s coming here." Kinglsey asked."This is really embarrassing," I muttered as I raised my head and adjusted my sh
Immediately I saw my wife, I quickly let go of Emelia, pushing her away from me. Turning to my wife Immediately, I intended to give her a justifiable explanation for my actions."Honey, th……""Ouch," Emelia winced in pain and turned back to see what had happened. I noticed her on the ground, massaging her hand and I wondered why she’s sitting down there.Did I push her away too hard? Well, I don't have time to apologize now. I turned back to Mary to explain, but she didn't even listen before walking away. As I wanted to run after her, I turned to Emelia."Did you plan all this for her to see? I thought you would learn your lesson from what had happened but it seems you….." Taking a deep breath, "Forget it, I shouldn't have been nice to you from the beginning."I rushed after Mary, calling after her, but she didn't respond. As soon as I got out, I saw her entering the car. Before I reached her car, it zoomed off."Shit, what am I going to do now," I muttered in frustration, running my
