~Cassie’s POV~
I was driving home and Liam had already fallen asleep on the passenger’s seat. I was thinking about what Liam had said to me. I was shocked and taken a back. How does he even know my family?
Still in a dilemma I drove through the streets of the emptied road, which was no lesser then a horror movie because it was almost 8:30 p.m. This place is abandoned and is known for eerie and uncanny thieves roaming around at night.
It was a creepy looking street with broken street lamps, few could be seen with dim lights.
Oh God knows; how much I am scared of being robbed and maybe worse can happen because the thieves here are very weird. I’ve read stories about this deserted place.
Some who have experienced and have been robbed say that they look like ghosts and are really scary in appearance. One lady said that one man here tried to rape her but fortunately she escaped through the help of her friend who was also trapped here.<
~Steve’s POV~“Liam, I know you hate her and you want to take revenge but this, this was a very shameful act of yours” I was furious. She was his wife. How could he do something like this to her? “Steve, how many times should I tell you I lost my sanity? I didn’t do it on purpose” he tried to explain it to me.“I hope what you are saying is true Liam” I said while going upstairs to my room. It was around 6:00 a.m. when I woke up. I usually wake up at this hour to go for a jog. It was 6:45 a.m. when I came back from my daily routine morning jog.I had to talk to Liam about some business stuff and so without thinking much I headed towards his room. I had almost reached it when I saw a young woman coming downstairs in a rush. She didn’t see me coming, consequently s
*PLEASE DON'T READ THIS CHAPTER, READ THE EDITED VERSION ON THE CHAP LIST* Aiman~ ~Cassie’s POV~ It was around 9 p.m. I was sitting in my room looking at my family photo. I miss them, I miss them all. Mom, dad, Gabriel, Chris, and yeah my twin, how can forget her, Suzie. I wish I could go back to them and tell them how much I have missed them. They still think I am in Japan. I wanted to give them surprise. Hell did I know that I would get myself kidnapped right after I stepped into America. I sighed wiping my tears and went to the bathroom. I took a cold shower and came out of the bathroom wearing a loose t-shirt with comfy shorts. I went downstairs and went into the kitchen. Should I call Liam and ask him what to make for dinner. No! I shouldn’t, he even said he’ll make me pay for hearing them. God please help me. What if I didn’t ask him and he comes home asking in anger that why didn’t I ask him before making dinner? I think I should
~Liam’s POV~ She heard it. She heard everything we said. I should teach her a lesson. How dare she eavesdrop on me? I was sitting in my office glancing at the clock. It was 8:30 p.m. I should go back home early. Actually Steve just told me about his and Ellie’s (Steve’s childhood sweetheart) relationship. I was shocked but happy for him at the same time. Steve invited me and Cassie to dinner so he could introduce us to Ellie. I was about to call Cassie when I heard a knock on my office cabin door. “Come in” I said and started cleaning the mess on the table as I was about to leave for home. “Mr. Lautner, you are going home early” what the hell. How can she interfere in my personal life? “Why are you so curious about that?” I asked in a suspicious yet cold tone. “Don’t be offended Mr. Lautner, I was just asking if you could spend the night with me?'' She was leaning on my desk seductively. All women are the same, sluts. “Get out of here Cas
~Liam’s POV~I got in the car and so did she. She looked very tensed and scared. “So the first mistake you did was to bring us on this road at this hour. What do you think you were doing?” I was obviously mad at her.“I didn’t know the address but I remember that you drove us to the cliff from this road and so I drove the car here” she said while lowering her gaze.We didn’t talk the whole time. I just drove quietly until we reached home. Finally we reached home and I got of the car. I was hungry and I don’t know if she cooks good food or not.“Go cook something for me” I commanded without looking at her and straight went inside the mansion. “And make sure it’s edible” I added.~Cassie’s POV~“Oh you wish” I hummed while entering the mansion. “Okay my dear arrogant husband” I scoffed as I entered t
~Cassie’s POV~ It was around 9 p.m. I was sitting in my room looking at my family photo. I miss them, I miss them all. Mom, dad, Gabriel, Chris, and yeah my twin, how can I forget her, Suzie. I wish I could go back to them and tell them how much I have missed them. They still think I am in Japan. I wanted to give them a surprise. Hell did I know that I would get myself kidnapped right after I stepped into America. I sighed wiping my tears and went to the bathroom. I took a cold shower and came out of the bathroom wearing a loose t-shirt with comfy shorts. I went downstairs and went into the kitchen. Should I call Liam and ask him what to make for dinner? No! I shouldn’t, he even said he’ll make me pay for hearing them. God please help me. What if I didn’t ask him and he comes home asking in anger why didn’t I ask him before making dinner?
~Cassie’s POV~ I had no choice but to give myself to him. I was happy in my heart but a thought was bugging me. What if he doesn’t love me? How can I give in to him when he doesn’t even like me? I agreed with him and he started kissing my neck. I knew his body was suffering and so I let him do whatever he wanted to satisfy himself. I don’t remember when I drifted into sleep. ~Liam’s POV~ I woke up because the sunrise was shining right on my face. I slowly opened my eyes to see a woman lying beside me. What the hell! Did I really cheat on Cassie? No I can’t do this, at least not this whore. Her face was covered with her hair and I couldn’t see her face. She slowly turned herself and that’s when I saw her face, it was Cassie! She looked so beautiful. Her delicate skin shone in the sun. But wait, how
~Cassie’s POV~I was so freaking happy. I made breakfast for him. But a thought that occupied my mind was why in the hell did he do all that to me. He tortured me to death. My skin allergies are not some kind of joke. But he acted all normal as if nothing ever happened. I asked about it but he said it’s not the right time. He even mentioned my father. What does he have with my family?Well I wanted him to open up to me himself. So I waited. I was doing my everyday house chores when I heard someone come in. “Who is it?” I asked. “Cassie?” I heard a woman’s voice which was none other than my best friend Dr. Emilia Kenner from my medical college. She was my roommate and my best friend. “Emilia!” I shouted as we ran into each other for a big bear hug. “How are you? And what in the world are you doing in Liam Lautner’s house?” umm how should I tell her I got married. “Umm… Emilia please don
~Steve’s POV~This man is really difficult to comprehend sometimes. I mean what’s the difference between hurting Cassie or her family. Both the situations will hurt her no matter what. “But hurting her family also counts in hurting her,” I added. “Cassie isn’t aware of what her father did to me and my parents. I am sure after knowing that she would have no problem in me hurting her brothers.” “Liam you don’t understand, you have to think clearly. The man who killed your parents is almost dead and is counting on his last breaths. His two right hands were executed by you yourself. Don’t you think it’s enough?”“No it’s not enough!” he shouted and then buried his face in his palms. “Are you crying?” I asked in astonishment. Oh my God, he was actually crying. Liam Lautner was crying. “I should call Cassie” “No wait, don’t tell her that her Mafia hus
~Liam’s POV~I pushed the doors to our room with my lips never leaving her’. She pressed onto my chest indicating for me to stop. “What’s up?” I asked, cupping her cheeks. She shook her head. “Nothing but I just realized that neither I nor you ever said it in the form of words but if we are about to do this so we better say it before.” I knew what she was about to say and I waited for her. “I love you, Liam.” She said making eye contact with me. “I love you too, Cassie.” And with that being said I kissed her and gently pushed her towards the bed.I took my shirt off and I saw Cassie unbuttoning her shirt. I stopped her and did it myself instead. I dug into her neck tasting every inch of it and leaving feathery kisses on it. She moaned and I loved that I had this kind of effect on her even though we spent years hating each other. I made love to her and I must say that I’ve missed her. She’s the mother of my children yet I never touched her or made her feel this way as I am doing rig
~Liam’s POV~What was she doing in a bar? She never drank, I mean as far as I know. She likes to stay out of this kind of addiction. So I sped through the roads and finally, I arrived at the bar. I entered the bar and saw Cassie making weird noises and as soon as she saw me she ran towards me and crossed her legs over my hips giving me a strange and weird hug. I held her tight and asked the bartender to open the door for me. I made her sit on the passenger’s seat andmoved back to the driver’s seat. I started the car and drove towards our mansion. She wascontinuously mumbling something under her breath that was out of my understanding league so I ignored it. We reached our mansion and I parked the car. When I looked at her she had opened the buttons of her shirt giving me a clear view of her black bra.“Cassie, what are you doing? Kids are inside and I don’t want them to see their mother half naked.”She just pouted and made an innocent face. I took her inside and she was doing somet
~Chris’s POV~“What did he say on phone? Tell me Chris, please.” She was continuously asking me about Liam’s phone call. What should I say to her; that her husband wants a divorce? Nah I’m not telling her that. I don’t want to hurt her feelings instead I want to know Arnold’s planning about that clip. What does he wants to do? Is he planning on separating Liam and Cassie and then marrying Cassie afterwards? God knows better what’s up on this man’s mind. “Cassie, he was asking about you and that how are you feeling now. I told him you are good and he asked me to take you to your own home instead, with me.” I lied to her.“My home is that of Liam’s. I am not going with you. I’ve already been away from him for a long time. I want to spent time with him and my babies. Why is he trying to neglect me all of a sudden? Is he trying to take my children away from me? I always though
~Liam’s POV~ “I never knew that Noah was a psychotic killer and how can you think that I was one of them. Do you really think that low of me? Aiden we’ve been friends for years and you thought that I would just hand you over to those who are hell bent on killing you because you knew their secret. You could’ve told us. We would’ve done something about it.” I wanted to know how he ended up like this. “I don’t care about old times now; all I care about is taking what’s mine.” I glared at him. “Cassie is mine and I won’t let you take her from me.” I said and punched him. He took a few steps back and wiped the blood off his lips. He strode towards me and punched me right across in the face. Holy cow! That hurts. My nose was bleeding but I just took my gun out and pointed it towards Arnold. I thought we’d be friends but he wants to be my rival, so be it then. “Think Liam, think. You haven’t heard from your wife for a couple of years now. You really don’t have an idea what
~Liam’s POV~“You left me and Steve at the first place without bothering telling us. Care to explain why?” he was at fault not us. “Do you even know what you so-called fellow mates did to me in the woods?” I have no idea because it was just a prank nothing more than that. “I have no idea because I wasn’t there at the time being.” I reasoned. “No one knows better than you much I’m scared of darkness and being consumed by it.” What he is talking about? “That night……”**Flashback of that night 16 years ago**~Arnold/Aiden’s POV~“Why did you ask Liam to leave? I want to go home leave me.” I screamed at the top of my lungs with all my strength but they just laughed at my grim fate. “This is what awaits for those who try to let the appalling cat out of its bag. Now that you know our little secret how can we let you go?
~Cassie’s POV~Arnold’s maids dragged me towards the stage where he stood with a atrocious sneer on his face. He clenched my hands tightly making them numb. He came closer to me and sniffed. Eww, why’d he sniff me like a dog does to his bone before licking it. “You smell so good.” He said almost moaning it. “How can you marry someone who has already been with someone?” I emphasized the word ‘someone’ indicating to Liam. “I don’t understand.”I let out a small mocking laugh. “You didn’t really notice, did you? I’m mother of two kids and of course they didn’t come to me from the sky.” He laughed. “I know he didn’t pleasure you well. I intend to do so and I’d make sure of it.” How can he say that to me? “He pleasured me like no one else and I don’t think you have that feral side to make me feel that way. Believe it o
~Liam’s POV~He didn’t even think about Cassie and signed her entire life just for some stupid property. Thank God her father is dead or else I’d have killed him by now. Gabriel told us the location of his mansion and penthouse both where Arnold would be most probably. We first went to his house but there was no one in there. Then we headed towards the penthouse. It was a 110th story penthouse.Why the fck did he built such a high building. We walked towards the gate and saw 4 men guarding it. “Is it really necessary?” I looked at Chris.“Come on! Act like a mafia’s son.” He gave me a ‘are you serious?’ look. “Okay, act like your mafia brother-in-law then.” I said and smiled as he smirked and we both loaded our guns. “It’s a restricted area; you can’t enter the penthouse because it a private pro-per…” I shot him before he could continu
~Cassie’s POV~“You roar and so you must bite too” that man joked and laughed in an atrocious way. “Untie her and get her ready for the wedding ceremony because I want to make her mine as soon as possible.” He said and walked out of the door.His men untied me and took me to a room. It was a big room and then three maids came in. “Master told us to get you ready for the wedding ceremony. Do you want to take a bath yourself or you want our help.” The maid asked in terror. “Look, don’t be scared of me, they are forcing me into this marriage; I’m already married and I have two five year old twins. I am happy with my life and your master whoever he is; just tell him that I don’t want to get married.”I pleaded to them and tried to lure them so they could help me run away but they were stubborn. “Madam we don’t want to die at the hands of Master. We also have
~Liam’s POV~My men were on guard and so they were already out handling the situation. I walked out and saw that the men who attacked us looked like some gangster kind of people. “STOP!” I shouted making everyone stunned and stop at their tracks. “Who are you and what do you want?” the men gathered up. “You have offended our master and now our master wants your wife, Cassie” The stout man said making me boil in anger. “Just take her name once again and I’d make sure you meet Lucifer in hell.” I said and shot him in between his eyes. He soon was covered in his own blood.“You are doing mistake boy. Have forgot that your wife and children are still in there and what if I tell you that we’ve activated bombs in your house.” I glared at him. “I offended you. Why are bringing Cassie and my children in all this.” he wickedly smiled showing his awful teeth. “Our
