Cassandra POV:

I just stared at him when he asked, a bit disbelief but no longer surprised. The corner of my eye caught Carina smirking a bit at me. She didn't seem like she disliked the idea. Maybe she was up to something but I remained calm and still gave no answer to Ricky.

"You should really go. It must be boring to not be able to attend any events and just stay at home all the time. Ricky's right. Everything is getting better now so you should attend the launching ceremony and socialize more. Everyone from the company would be there," Carina said.

So, this couple finally had a reason to invite me to attend a function with them since it was a company event.

"Why should I? Aren't you worried anymore that people might think your marriage was unreal?" I satirized Ricky.

"It's technically real... legally... it's just that..." Carina dared to retort but when I glared at her, she immediately stopped talking. What was even more infuriating was the fact that Ricky didn't even feel like sh

    Cassandra POV:"Did you see Cassandra tonight?""Yup. She's smoking hot. I bet Mr Xavier can't get over her yet.""Of course, he can't. Why do you think she still working at our company? I bet Mr Xavier paid her extra to make her stay.""Money runs everything, dude. She surely could be bought with just a few thousand dollars.""Mr Xavier is really heinous, don't you think? I heard that Cassandra moved in with him not long ago. I never heard of her moving out of his house. Now, he's married. And he's keeping his wife and his mistress in the same house.""Money, dude. I told you, it's because of money and power. What kind of stupid woman would leave someone like Mr Xavier?""Wow... it must be good to be rich and powerful... Women just settled with Mr Xavier because they didn't want to lose his influence or his money.""I know right... I bet he probably had a few women that he kept in his other residential properties. That guy owned multiple buildings in this country. I'm sure Carina and

    Riccardo POV:I just allowed her, for the first time to attend an event with me and Carina around. Yet, she couldn't wait to give me another panic attack. Where the hell did she go? Was a kiss too much? Why would she be sulking over that? I explained to her that I didn't know why Carina acted strange tonight. I had firmly reminded Carina in private to not pull such a thing in public again. We never kissed in public or in private, so it was not okay for me especially when Cassie saw it.Carina apologized and she promised to not do it again. But it was useless because now the peace I had with Cassie was rumbled again. I messed up again and this time Cassie chose to go missing at a public event like this, where my potential enemies were also present.I kept calling my bodyguards to check which one of them found Cassie. Fortunately, after half an hour, Dome gave me the good news. She was with him and I firmly ordered Dome to tell Cassie to get inside again where I could see her.She was e

    Cassandra POV:"He's crazy!" I repeated my words and this time even louder.Ricky got really annoyed and quickly grabbed my body and cupped my mouth with his hand. He signalled his men to cover him up as he dragged me to the car.I struggled hard to escape and muffled a few complaining words that were not even heard. Minutes later, I was already been shoved by him inside the car, locked in the backseat again, unable to get out as always. This was his normal way to contain me if I misbehaved when we were outside. I knew the car door was locked but the window could be pulled down. So I did it and deliberately laughed at him to mock his worries."Are you afraid that I might ruin your night? That new salacious rumours might start at the company tomorrow? Oh, look... the CEO is still so damn devoted to his secretary, he abandoned his wife alone at the launching ceremony to find his missing lover," another mocking from me and he instantly glanced back to meet my eyes."Pull up the window an

    Cassandra POV:I saw Ricky got off the car that was parked in front of us. He turned around and helped Carina out as well. That witch was clinging to his arm when she was getting out as if she couldn't handle getting out of a car by herself."So that's love?" I asked Dome, making him see the irony of his words before."He's treating Carina better than me. And I have no say in it because she's his legal wife. So... that's what love is like for Ricky?" I added.Dome sighed a little and looked down. He was probably disappointed that I took it that way, completely the opposite of what he meant by his previous opinion about Ricky.I didn't wait for him to open the door for me. I just came out and showed Carina how easy it was to get out of a car. Ricky was a bit stunned to see me out of the car suddenly. Usually, Dome would open the door for me. I just glared at him and stepped into the house first."Cassie," Ricky called me and left Carina alone. He followed me into the house yet I spared

    Riccardo POV:Get out of her face? Really? Did she even know why I was down there for over an hour? I tried to settle matters with Carina so the thing that happened at the launching event before won't happen again. I came into the bedroom, hoping she had the capacity to understand that I wanted peace for everyone living in this house, yet she accused me of trying to have an affair with Carina. If there was one person I cared about the most inside this house, it would be Cassie. Why couldn't she see that?Before we reached home, I called Sergio to come. I had a long talk with Carina inside the car, reprehending her over and over again until she understood that whatever action she made on the stage before was totally uncompromised by me. I let it slide this time, but I wanted her to sign a few papers of terms that she needed to adhere to if she wanted me to continue helping her.Those terms would be related to any excessive physical touch from her to me, whether it was intentional or un

    Riccardo POV:Suicide? I felt like my heart got a pinch of electric shock. I did have guilt towards Cassie for whatever happened between us right now, but never to the intensity like tonight. It was just intense right now. It never had crossed my mind that she would think about wanting to die. Maybe I had been ignorant about how she felt all this time, I didn't even realize that her patience had probably reached the limit.The things she said to me in the bedroom before, about how she didn't care anymore even if I sleep with Carina just hit hard right now. Had she really given up on me? I felt so disturbed by the thought that I just left Dome and got into the house again.I ran up the stair and went straight to the bedroom. When I opened the door, the lights inside were off. I saw a glimpse of Cassie's silhouette laying on the bed, unmoving. I closed the door again and headed to her. The light from outside shone a bit through the windows, so I could see Cassie a bit in that dark surro

    Cassandra POV:It felt like the most peaceful sleep I ever had. I couldn't remember how many sleeping pills I had taken before I went into my deep slumber. But one thing was for sure, I didn't regret it. My mind finally stopped thinking about Ricky. When I finally woke up, a bright light shone on my eyes."Miss Moore? Can you hear me? If you can hear me, blink once," a male voice instructed. I blinked and he instantly moved the lights away from me. He was wearing a doctor's coat and that was when I realized I was not at Ricky's mansion anymore.My head turned slowly, scanning the surrounding. It looked like a private ward for a patient. With the doctor around and some nurses, I could guess easily that I was in a hospital right now.Ricky appeared and talked with the doctor about something. After that, the doctor make a few checkups on me before he left with his nurses, leaving me and Ricky alone."Drink some water," Ricky said as he poured me a glass of water. He gave it to me before

She gave me an approving look and nodded slightly."Of course, you're not," she said."That's why I'm here. We need to check if you have symptoms of it. And if you do, we need to work quickly on treating it," the doctor added."Symptoms?" My brows knitted in restlessness."Don't worry too much about it, dear. I'm going to ask you just a few questions," Dr Mala explained as she sat on the chair beside me, the one where Ricky sat before."Did Ricky tell you to do this?" I was a bit suspicious of her behaviour. Yet, she denied it with a shake."This is just part of the hospital protocol for a patient like you.""I want someone here with me," I demanded timidly.I didn't know why it was hard for me to trust the doctor. She seemed nice but that was not really a guarantee for me to trust anyone. Carina was nice too in front of everyone else but Leo had claimed to have eviden

I got it that they weren't talking anymore but I never had the idea that they were treating her this disrespectfully.She just got out of jail after shooting Carina, had her dream wedding turned into a tragic incident of bloody red event and instead of comforting her, her parents just chose to annoy her even more. Not to mention the extreme entitlement her younger brother had over her, demanding a job from me because I married Cassie without their consent. The audacity."Leave... And stop bothering my wife again. If I see anyone of you try to step foot on my property again, I won't hesitate to sue for invasion of privacy and have the police take you all away. Don't even try to test me. Ernesto, tell Dome and Marco to escort them out. Put them on the blacklist. Don't let them enter my mansion again."Cruel? I bet Cassie would want it to be worse.

    Cassandra POV:I didn't know what my family was trying to do by coming here to meet me after my court case had ended. It seemed like they were waiting to see if I was really innocent about it or not. They started showing how they cared about me. So for once, I thought maybe they were being real this time. I invited them to sit in the living room and I told Verona to go serve some drinks for them. My parents just started looking around the mansion and checking out every stuff their eyes could see."I have some work to do upstairs. Why don't you just have some private talk with your family first," Ricky said and I just nodded in agreement.Honestly, I could sense that they were having some ulterior motives to come here. But I tried to think positively and went to sit together with them in the living room. Maybe it would be different this time. Maybe they really wanted the four of us to be a real family now. The thought of my mother admitted that she never loved me when I had the phone c

    Riccardo POV: When I woke up again, the doctor told me that I had been out for three days. Sergio, Dome, Leo and Franco were all around my bed. But Cassie was nowhere to be seen. "Where is my wife?" I asked firmly to them. I really thought that I was going to die but now that I'm wide awake and felt strong again, my heart just instantly searched for that one woman I loved the most. I turned to Sergio as he was the one responsible for everything if I ever was not fit to be in power. He looked down to avoid my gaze and started apologizing. "She's in jail. Convicted with first-degree murder of Carina at the cathedral," Sergio said timidly. That just instantly made me angry. "What do you mean she's in jail?! It was self-defence. You all saw it. Carina shot at us first. How long had she been in there?!" I asked fast and Leo told me it was ever since I was hospitalized. I sighed hard in frustration and my chest started feeling hurt, the effect of the gunshot wounds I got. They all star

    Cassandra POV: When we arrived at the hospital, Ricky was pushed to the ICU instantly. I, Leo, Sergio and Dome were asked to wait outside. We waited for hours before the doctor came out and told us that Ricky was fine. The bullets had been taken out from his body and lucky enough none of them hit his internal organ. He just lost a lot of blood but was estimated to be in full recovery within two weeks. I finally could breathe normally again when the doctor said that. Everyone looked glad and maybe this was indeed going to be my happy ending, right? But who was I kidding? Not even a day passed but a few policemen had arrived at the hospital to take me in. "I'm sorry. Are you Miss Cassandra Moore or should I call you Mrs Xavier instead?" A police officer talked to me. "I'm her lawyer. Don't say anything," Sergio came forward and warned me to shut my mouth. He was ready to deal with the police in order to protect me. "We received multiple reports stating that a murder had happened ins

    Cassandra POV: I couldn't believe that this was happening. Of all the days she could have come and attacked me, she chose to do it on the most important day of my life. My heart just shattered entirely the moment Ricky chose to use his body to shield me from the gunshot Carina fired at us. He instantly fell to the floor and I could only see death was coming to get him. My mind went insane at once and I could feel my whole life would be over if Ricky died. But I no longer wanted to live in fear if Carina was able to escape again. She must die today no matter what happened. With all my logical thinking going disarray, I just did whatever crossed my mind. I knew Ricky had a gun right now, so I went to get it. "I killed the Godfather! I killed the Godfather!" I heard how Carina was screaming happily to celebrate her success in shooting down Ricky. It enraged me so badly that I lost my sense of humanity for that split moment. "You're a f*cking monster! I'm going to kill you! I'm going t

    Riccardo POV:"Do you take Cassandra Moore as your lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?" The priest's voice echoed all over the cathedral as he spoke on the microphone."I do," I replied solemnly without a single hesitation. I had been waiting to say those two words my whole life for Cassie."Do you take Riccardo Xavier as your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?" The priest repeated the same to Cassie."I do," she too seemed to be confident saying those two words for me.Then came the time for both of us to exchange wedding rings. We faced each other, looking dear as soon enough, we would be officially husband and wife for good. Actually, in legal law, we were already married as I had registered our

    Riccardo POV:Cassie just automatically turned sad at the mention of Nicola. Now that she saw the heels Nicola made for her wedding, she just couldn't help whimpering at them. Maybe the memory was too horrible for her. I remembered how she was there too when we found pieces of Nicola's remains on the hill where her car was bombed by Carina. Cassie fainted that day and she was so taken aback to lose Nicola that way.How she had convinced me so much about Carina's wicked intention. If only I had trusted her that time. This memory just reminded me how stupid I was in the past. Now, it hit my feeling hard too. I quickly held Cassie tightly in my arms and kissed her forehead a few times."I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..." I couldn't stop apologizing as the memory flashed in the back of my mind. It suddenly made me realize how lucky I was that I managed to make things right again with Cassie. To be able to come to this point again with her, it was somewhat amazing how the universe worked his mi
