I decided to do a little digging.
My fingers worked hurriedly as they flicked on the screen, looking for Reynold, my BFF in college running a top-notch security and surveillance business.
"Cassy, it has been a long time." He greeted me when he answered my call on the first ring.
"That was quick." I quipped.
"Of course." He sounded so proud that I could imagine him beating his puffed-up chest, making me smile secretly in my head.
"I wouldn’t want my superstar best friend to wait on me. The moment I saw your name on the monitor, my knees started to shake. I can not ignore your call, so I let whoever I was meeting wait so I can answer your call."

Cassy cannot fall in love with anyone except me. I am her husband. Then, an idea struck. I called Greg outright. “Hey, Mandy is mobilizing a search team for you. Why aren’t you answering her call? Are you still at the airport?” He was chuckling, but I cut him off. What I have to say is more important. “Listen, Greg. Can you check at the Civil Affairs Bureau whether my marriage to Cassy is still legal?” “What happened? Did Adam do something underhanded to rescind the contract?” My friends knew the animosity Cassy’s brother had for me. It was a mutual thing.We had been at it since college and had never outgrown the rivalry. The situation with Cassy only compounded it.“None that I heard of, but it would not hurt to be sure.” "Okay.

Cassy POVDuring the party, I could feel that something was bothering Caleb. It's not that I was suspecting him of anything. It was more like I was just puzzled at the antsy behavior. From time to time, he would leave me to talk on the phone, and my lips formed a straight line in displeasure. I am sure it was business, but can’t he postpone business for a while to enjoy the children’s party?“You look lonely, babe. Where is your husband?” Reynold approached me when he noticed I was standing alone in the corner, watching the event while my husband was out of sight. Caleb just stepped out of the room, purportedly to answer Gordon’s call, and it is honestly pi*sing me off. I shrugged my shoulders and looked murderous. The day began magnificently. Caleb and I rose before dawn and tiptoed our way to the twins' bedroom to spruce it up with birthday decor. We wanted to surprise the twins, and we did!The smile on their faces was priceless. Caleb and I could not contain our tears whe

My two best friends arrived, and I immediately snaked an arm around Cassy’s waist when I noticed Greg smiling at her. I still hadn’t forgotten what he told me before - that he had a crush on my wife. Cassy was surprised but did not remove my arms around her waist while we talked to my best friends. This alone made me shoot Greg a gloating look. If I didn’t need them for my proposal later, I wouldn’t have invited them, especially Greg, but they are the only people I could rely on.A crowd gathered around us, and my two best friends entertained them, allowing Cassy and I to extricate ourselves from the circle to welcome Adam and Cassy’s friends as they trickled in one by one.
