Chapter Nine: Cassie felt jittery as she dialed Natalie's number, hoping her friend would pick up. "Hey, Nat, can we meet at our usual spot?" she asked, her voice shaky with worry.Natalie had already gotten there, sitting quietly as Cassie spotted her from across the room. "Hey, Nat," Cassie said with a relieved smile, joining her friend at the table."Hey, Cassie, what's wrong? You seem stressed," Natalie said, concern evident on her face.Cassie took a deep breath before answering, feeling the weight of her troubles. "I... I'm not sure. It's just... everything feels overwhelming lately," she confessed, her voice barely above a whisper.Natalie reached out and squeezed Cassie's hand, her brow furrowing with concern. "So, did your dad pay the bills or not?" she asked, her voice tinged with worry. "I'm not sure. I think he did, but he's terrified of Winnie, so he might have lied," she admitted, a hint of fear in her eyes.Nat nodded, her expression softening with understanding. "Wel
Cassie finally arrived home, her mind buzzing with the good news Natalie had shared with her earlier. As she stepped through the door, she couldn't shake the excitement that tingled in her veins. The weight of the day's worries seemed to lift off her shoulders, replaced by a buoyant sense of anticipation for what lay ahead. She hurriedly kicked off her shoes and made her way further into the house, eager to share the news with Anderson and bask in the warmth of their shared joy.Intrigued, Cassie found a box in the parlor. Inside were old letters and photos. She discovered a letter from Anderson's mother, written on his birthday years ago. Tears filled Cassie's eyes as she read the heartfelt words from someone who loved him deeply.Determined to make this birthday one to remember, Cassie set about decorating the house with balloons and streamers, setting the table with his favorite dishes and pouring his preferred drink. She wanted nothing more than to bring a smile to Anderson's face
As the morning sun peeked through the curtains, Cassie reluctantly left the warmth of her bed. Her mind still buzzed with memories of her passionate night with Anderson, but she pushed them aside as she prepared for her first day at her dream job.Excitement lit up her face as she dressed in her usual work attire, not adorned with anything fancy, but always managing to look stunning. Her long hair cascaded down her back, framing her delicate features, while her fair skin seemed to glow with anticipation. Despite lacking expensive clothes or shoes, Cassie's natural beauty shone through, leaving her feeling confident as she embarked on this new chapter of her life.Kyle sat at his desk, his eyes fixed on the computer screen as he sifted through important company messages.

Cassie was up and dressed unusually early, anxious not to risk being late for work. She sensed Anderson's unusual silence as she bustled about, packing files into her bag. When she looked up, she found him quietly preparing breakfast for them both. "Making breakfast, huh?" she asked, trying to focus on her task while stealing glances at him. Anderson turned, wiping his hands on a towel, his eyes softening as he took in Cassie's appearance. "Good morning, my darling wife," he said, moving closer with a gentle smile. Cassie's heart warmed at his words, and she couldn't help but return his smile. Despite her haste, she noticed the way his eyes crinkled at the corners, reflecting his affection for her. He admired the regal and commanding appearance she presented, with her neatly styled hair cascading over her shoulders, and the long white skirt adding an elegant touch to her demeanor. Anderson gazed at the woman before him, He was utterly shocked by how different and breathtakingly s
Mrs. Winnie sat at the table, her brow furrowed with worry, as she slowly sipped her coffee. Her thoughts seemed consumed by something troubling, causing a distant look in her eyes. Suddenly, Sarah entered the dining area and took a seat beside her."Mom, remember you asked me to look into the hospital payment to know if it came from dad?" Sarah asked, her voice tinged with concern, as she flung the paper in her hand onto the table.Mrs. Winnie's expression softened, her eyes lighting up with anticipation. "Yes, what happened? Did you find out? Was it him?" she inquired eagerly.Sarah's face broke into a smile as she nodded. "So, the name on the account was Dad," she concluded, her voice filled with reassurance."I knew it!" Winnie exclaimed, frustration evident in the way she hit her hands on her lap, confirming her suspicions. "That old hag lied to me. I'm going to go rip him a new one," she concluded, her anger palpable.But before Winnie could storm off, Sarah intervened, gently p
Sarah arrived at Daniel's apartment, her grip tight on the glass of juice, her expression strained as she tried to calm the storm of anger brewing within her. Daniel lounged on the opposite couch, his features relaxed, yet his mind racing as he contemplated his next words.In the charged silence, Sarah's knuckles turned white around the glass, her jaw clenched to suppress her frustration. Meanwhile, Daniel's brow furrowed slightly, his eyes scanning Sarah's face for any sign of softening before he spoke."We almost got caught today," Daniel murmured, his brow furrowing with serious concern.Sarah's eyes widened in confusion and frustration as she set the glass of juice down with more force than necessary. "What do you mean? Are you worried about your other women?" she snapped, her voice sharp with accusation. "Or are you already tired of me?" Anger simmered beneath her words as she pleaded for clarity. "I don't understand why we're still hiding our relationship. It's time to go public
Anderson sat confidently on the table, a glass of wine in hand, his expression a mask of determination as he contemplated his last-ditch plan. Beside him, Daniel watched him intently, his brow furrowed with concern. "Boss, Adrian's bringing them," Daniel announced, breaking the silence. Anderson offered a brief smile in response, his mind focused on the impending meeting.When Jack and Tony finally stormed in, their faces twisted with anger, Anderson's demeanor remained composed. "You two look like you could use a meal," he remarked, his voice dripping with sarcasm as he locked eyes with them."What's the meaning of this, Anderson?" they bellowed, their voices filled with outrage. "How dare you kidnap us!"Suddenly, Daniel retrieved two pieces of paper from his bag and handed them over. Jack and Tony hesitated for a moment, their brows furrowing as they scrutinized the documents. Then, almost simultaneously, they exclaimed, "Sell our shares to you?”"Mr. Klein, let's not forget,
In no time, Cassie arrived at her mom's hospital, feeling a sense of betrayal and loneliness weighing heavily on her mind. With her mother being her only solace, various thoughts raced through her mind as she entered the hospital grounds. Seeing her mother peacefully sleeping, Cassie's expression softened with emotion as she approached. The nurses kindly excused themselves to give Cassie some privacy with her mother. "Hey, Mom, how are you doing?" she asked, her voice filled with emotion as she tightly held her mother's hand, her face reflecting a mixture of love, concern, and hope. As her mom's eyes flickered open, Cassie's face lit up with excitement. "How are you, sweetheart?" her mom asked, her voice filled with tenderness despite the effort it took to speak. Cassie's heart swelled with relief and love as she supported her mom, who struggled to sit upright, determination etched on her features. "I'm so thrilled that you're improving, Mom," Cassie choked out, tears of gratitude
As Cassie stepped into the hallway, her eyes met Daniel's, and they locked in a silent exchange, each gauging the other's reaction. There was a momentary pause, filled with unspoken questions and emotions.Breaking the silence with a confident tone, Cassie declared, "Well, I'm here because I came to check up on my darling sister." Her expression was composed, but a hint of curiosity lingered in her eyes.Daniel's eyebrows lifted in mild surprise, a flicker of amusement dancing across his features. "And what about you?" he countered, her voice tinged with playful curiosity. "I thought you had gone to work with Anderson. What brings you here instead?" Cassie's eyes narrowed as she examined Daniel closely, her expression shifting into investigative mode. She carefully scrutinized every aspect of his appearance, searching for any clues or hints. Cassie's lips curved into a suspicious grin as she observed Daniel's reaction. She detected a subtle shift in his demeanor, a softening of his f

She couldn't shake the feeling of unease that had settled in the pit of her stomach, twisting and turning with each passing moment.Suddenly, the sharp voice of the doctor pierced through the silence, snapping Sarah out of her reverie. She blinked, her eyes focusing on the figure standing before her. The doctor's gaze was piercing, his tone demanding answers."So, who's the husband, or rather the father of this patient's child?" the doctor asked, his words cutting through the air like a knife.Sarah's heart skipped a beat, her mind racing as she struggled to find the right words. She glanced at Anderson, her eyes pleading for guidance, but he remained silent, his expression unreadable.Meanwhile, Daniel, who had been lost in his own thoughts, snapped back to reality at the doctor's question.

Cassie was filled with joy as she walked into her mother's hospital room. Her heart swelled with happiness when she saw her mom sitting up in bed, looking better than she had in weeks. "Hello, Mom!" Cassie exclaimed, unable to contain her excitement. She rushed over and enveloped her mother in a tight hug."Hey, my love," her mom replied softly, returning the embrace. But then, she turned her face away, a hint of sadness in her eyes. "I thought you'd forgotten about me."Cassie's heart sank at her mom's words. She felt a pang of guilt for not visiting more often. "I'm so sorry, Mom," she whispered, her voice trembling with emotion. "I've been so busy, but I never forgot about you."Tears welled up in Cassie's eyes as she realized how much her absence had hurt her mom. She knew she had to make it up to her somehow."It's just... your husband, he... he always comes to check up on me," her mom continued, her voice trailing off."I promise, Mom," Cassie said, her voice filled with determ

His words carried a weight of resolve, a determination to outwit his accusers.Beneath his composed exterior, Daniel's heart raced with uncertainty.

Emotions swirled within him – relief at evading suspicion, guilt for his deceit, and a gnawing sense of unease at the path he had chosen. Yet, amidst the turmoil, one
