Riccardo POV:"What the hell are you all waiting for?! Take all the cars from the garage and find her! Find her or I'll kill every last one of you who fail!" I ordered my men gravely.Never in a million years would I had imagine that this would happen. All my men just stood still doing nothing, only staring at Cassie's car as she drove away from the mansion. Were they idiots? Why were they so slow today? They all knew what to do."You three stay here. I have a job for you," I said as I turned around to face Dome, Marco and Luffy. They nodded in obedience and I went into the mansion again after.My head was just in mess and I didn't really feel well tonight. I think I was getting a fever but I couldn't care less about my health as Cassie's safety was more important right now.The hatred towards Carina was just growing so intensely inside of me and I just confronted her as soon as I was inside the mansion. Her body trembled a bit when I grabbed her arms tightly. This woman was so shamel
Carina POV:"Let me go! Let me go! Ricky! Ricky, please don't send me back to that house! Please!!! Leo would kill me if I'm alone!" I pretended to beg for his sympathy. Truthfully, I was done doing my job at this mansion. I rather came back home right now. But the pretence needed to continue so Ricky would still believe that I was innocent regarding Nicola's death.Certainly, I continued making chaos, shouting like a desperate woman to make all these people think that my fake pathetic condition was real. Dome dragged me to the living room and pinned me down to the sofa, making me lay prone and pushing the back of my head so my face was covered. I almost suffocated and he gave me a glare when I turned my face to him, signalling me to quiet down or else he would push my face down again.I guessed this one bodyguard had been waiting to do this to me. I knew he took Cassie's side in this house. Now that Ricky no longer cared about me, he dared to treat me harshly. Well, let's just see ho
Dome POV:Cassandra had always thought that there was something wrong with Carina. I could feel it too but I had no proof of it. Yet tonight, it was proved to everyone that it was the truth even to the Godfather himself. He finally saw how wicked this Rossi lady was. But I bet there was more to it than this framing incident.I think Casandra was right about trusting Leonardo De Luca. If I could, I would do so too but unfortunately, my loyalty was tied to the Xavier until my last breath. I had pledged my loyalty to this family when my parents died, so no turning back now. It was just unfortunate that Cassandra had to face this alone. If only I could be by her side. She needed someone reliable to protect her out there."Put all those luggage inside the boot. Let's get this done quick," I ordered Marco and Luffy and they just obeyed without complaint.They both understood that it would be a long journey to the Rossi's mansion. At least two hours of driving. Quite a dangerous journey too
Dome POV:"What do you mean something is not adding up?" Marco asked with a nervous voice.I stared at him long in disbelief, couldn't perceive if he was asking because he truly didn't realize it or because he was in a denial state. When he stayed silent while still looking at me, I finally explained to him my thoughts."After the attack on the Rossi's convoy, Carina said that it was dangerous for her to come home. So, she left her region without anyone to take over her father's place. In a situation like that, everyone assumed that the Rossi's mansion was abandoned. Mr Xavier thought that as well, that the mansion should be empty. But, just think again about what we saw before. The mansion was heavily guarded by the Rossi's men and Carina didn't seem scared at all to come home. Even Antonia was taking her order obediently. So, what is this, guys? Can't you guys see that this did not add up to what she claimed her situation was before? She's lying about her being in a vulnerable situa
Carina POV:As soon as the three idiots from the Xavier left, I went to the living room to make a phone call to Cristian. It had been a long time since I talked with him. I wondered how he was doing living inside the cabin in the woods for months now. I bet he would probably want to come home so badly by now.The call got through in less than five seconds. I guessed my little brother was really eager to get my call after all."Sis! Finally! Can I come home now?" Cristian sounded really excited."No," I replied fast and he sighed at it, which was really funny so I chuckled a bit."But soon... Our plan almost reaches the climax now. I have a specific job for you," I added. He made a delighted sound and I bet he must have all his attention on me by now."What is it? Can I go home after I do it?" He asked."Yup. You remember Cassandra Moore, right? You want a piece of her?" I said. Last time during the late Don Luigi's birthday party, I could sense that Cristian wanted to play a bit with
Cassandra POV:I had enough money to sustain my life now. But in order to survive, maybe I need a new name and a new face. I recently surveyed a few doctors who could perform plastic surgery in this country and reached them for the quotation price. For a whole face surgery, most of the doctors offered the cost within my budget, so I just needed to choose which clinic I wanted to go to later.This felt like a deja vu. I had left Ricky's mansion before and got away. I shouldn't have come back. Why did I make that stupid decision? Why did I have to break my heart like that? Seeing what happened at the mansion between him and Carina, was just savage. I didn't think I could recover from such betrayal.Just like before, when I reached the city area, I just abandoned my car by the roadside. But this time it was a different place than previously. Taxis could be found quite easily in a place like this because it was packed with humans. So, I had no problem moving from one place to another with
Cassandra POV:I walked out of the mall and just took another taxi. I gave the driver the address of Lydia's apartment building. She said previously that my new place was just nearby hers. I leaned my back on the backseat and just called Lydia to inform her about me going there."Gosh... Cassie... I thought you couldn't make it," Lydia sighed on the phone, sounding as if she had just got woken up from sleep. That put a pang of guilt inside my heart. I was supposed to be there like hours ago but the silly me just decided to come back to Ricky's mansion only for me to see a horrid show from Carina.Thinking back about it, my heart just slowly developed such an intense resentment towards Ricky. How could he let this happen to us? How could he claim to love me so much but made me see him naked in bed with that witch? The biggest resentment would be why I needed to run away to provide safety for our unborn child when it should have been his responsibility to protect us from someone as vile
Cassandra POV:"You don't know Ricky like I do..." I said and she sighed at the mention of his name."You know... I was once grateful to him that he let you use his black credit car and you ended up giving me a free car... But now... not anymore..." Lydia grumbled."I'm sorry about the car... I shouldn't-""Oh, stop it... I'm not even mad that I needed to sell it back. It was never mine, to begin with. I'm simply borrowing it from you. I had enough savings to buy a new one anyway. But this..." she pointed her hands at my body from the top slowly going down."How could he make Cassandra Moore cut her majestic hair and wore cheap clothes? It feels like you are an entirely different person right now. I couldn't even recognize you anymore," Lydia whined hard like she was my big sister."That's the intention... To be unrecognized..." I said calmly and she sighed again.Lydia gave me the paper bag she held before and just had her face frowning all the time. I guessed she really disliked it
