CHAPTER 18 ~ EYES CANNOT LIE
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56~ Cassandra~
I hop off the stool abandoning my bowl of half-eaten soup and goes get dressed, Michael heading for the shower. It’s cold out and I dress in black skinny jeans, a white sweater and a beanie, Michael donning his crisp grey suit. He looks so sexy and intimidating that I have to suppress a shiver every time I look at him.
We reach the office with no hassle, having Michael's extended security team helps but it also draws more attention than I’m used to.
Once safely inside the building, I sense Michael turning his cold, intimidating exterior on, the one that I am not used to seeing anymore. Michael’s hand goes straight to my back, leading me inside and towards the lift. Ali follows along with Louis and two other guards. People are staring and Michael isn’t fazed one single bit.

~ Cassandra~I and Ava have a blast and I was instantly in love with the little girl, we have formed a special bond in just a few hours. I was so used to being the youngest one that I’m loving looking after Ava.Michael and Eren end up being stuck in their meeting and an hour after I have drawn Ava over 30 pictures to color in, she gets bored.“Aunt Cass, I’m bored,” She said as she stretched out one arm and covered her yawning mouth with another hand. She looked so adorable as her soft baby skin shimmered with the hint of a light pink hue when she yawned which made me smile at her. Could not really hide from the charms of the santorum, like the uncle-like niece, they show off their charms even when they don’t really

~ Michael ~ I had a meeting with my brother Eren about how we should cool down the matter about Cassandra and me and what I should do to protect her from everything or everyone but rather than that I was missing her all the time. I was waiting for the meeting to wrap up soon so I would go to her. I know she is with my niece and they might be enjoying each other's company without getting bored. That's what makes me itch to go to them to witness them playing around. I hurried to end this meeting as soon as possible with an unreasonable solution. A solution that I know Cassandra will never accept but it is the last thing I’m about now cause I’m gonna convince her into it. As soon as the meeting ended I spun on my heels and dashed out of the meeting room
CEO of Bad Reputation CHAPTER 21 ~ THE CLAUSTROPHOBIA
~AUTHOR’S POV~ Cassandra wakes to a click and comes face to face with Michael and Eren snapping a few pics of her and Ava. “Sorry, we fell asleep” Cassandra whispers. “We’re sorry the meeting ran late, thank you for watching her Cassandra, she’s smitten,” Eren says. “I am too,” Cassandra smiles. As Eren’s face reflects her and picks Ava up, they say goodbye and Eren leaves the office. Cassandra looks toward Michael as she notices his clenched jaw as she gazes at his tight-fisted hands, she wonders what he’s thinking but pushes the thought back when Michael smiles and sits next to Cassandra on the couch and kisses on her couch... “Thank you for watching, Ava,” Michael says.

~ Michael ~ I reached the car parking with Robert but there is no sign of Cassandra. “Where’s Cassandra?” I asked as panic rose in my chest when I saw my team at the bottom. “Michael doesn’t panic but someone has tampered with Lift B, Cassandra is inside with Sophia and Ali, the police and fire brigade are on their way” Louis reassures. “What do you mean someone’s tampered with the lift?” I yelled with anticipation, worry spilling through me. “Boss,” Charlie says as he comes up behind me, I turn around and take the iPad that’s offered. “That’s Daniel in the powder room, he’s the one who’s messed with the lift, he’s long gone thoug
CEO of Bad Reputation CHAPTER 23 ~ CAUSES
~ AUTHOR’S POV ~ “Hiya kiddo,” Aaron says as Cassandra enters the kitchen later that night after she’s showered. “Aaron,” Cassandra says and rushes forward into Aaron’s waiting arms. Aaron looks at his little sister with adoration, she is dressed in black sweats and Michael’s grey hoodie and Aaron thinks she’s so tiny and adorable in those clothes. Michael was presented there as he watches on fondly as Aaron picks Cassandra up, cuddles her, and places her on the bench. He then stands in front of Cassandra smiling. Michael grabs Aaron’s beer and his own wine glass and hands Aaron his drink. He comes towards Cassandra with never leaving smiles on his beautiful lips and kisses her on the forehead. “You okay?” Aaron asks, concerned as he inspects Cassandra cu
CEO of Bad Reputation CHAPTER 24 ~ ANGER ISSUES
~ MICHAEL~I could not understand a single thing when Cassandra yelled at her brother. I had some idea it’s something about her nightmare when she mentioned her nightmares, but why does she have to be so devastated when she talks about it. She was looking as if she was being haunted by her dreams. My doubt got cleared when I saw the same reaction on Aaron's face, he knows what it is about and I was the only one who stayed in the darkness. And just now she suffered a panic attack after she woke up because of a nightmare. I need to know what she is suffering from and what’s the reason for her having nightmares so often. I remembered she told me about her nightmare when we went on a date, she told me she sometimes has some nightmare about her parents’ accident, however, what she told me recently it was not the nightmare of her parents’ accident but she saw a girl and a boy in her
CEO of Bad Reputation CHAPTER 25 ~ HEART
~ MICHAEL ~ “What is it that you want me to tell you?” We heard a voice as we turned our face towards the door and saw Izan and Aiden standing on the threshold. As usual, Aiden was wearing his scowl, his face always stays like this, you can barely see him laugh and smile about anything unless Cassandra and I know why he stays like this...Being the elder son of the face, comes with so many responsibilities, and he has so many matters to solve and to worry over and I know most of the reasons for those worries are Cassandra and her health. On the other hand, my eyes went to Izan’s face who always stays smiling no matter what as he says it’s his way to jerk away from the worries with his charming smile. However, he was looking like the twin brother of Aiden with the same scowl on his face. I wonder what’s the matter with them.
CEO of Bad Reputation CHAPTER 26 ~ HEART WANTS WHAT IT WANTS
~ AIDEN WILLIAMS~I know she should not be triggered emotionally unless she would meet someone who had the emotional attachment with the person whose heart is beating in Cassandra’s chest.I’ve been repeating this same line in my head all the way here in London in the hope that I could reach the point where I could see the reason that triggered Cassandra’s emotions but the answer was none.Although, we were in our jet and I knew we would reach there sooner but my heart was beating so brutally that my mind started making the worst scenario for what could happen. One of them was so horrible that I had to shake my head in an attempt to throw it out of my mind.Izan was sitting across from me and if he watched and read my worries tha

When he finished reading the papers in front of him someone knocked on the door and he pressed something on the screen of his phone to open it.

~ CASSANDRA'S POINT OF VIEW~I shook my head no "Never." and lied cause I don't know how much Daniel has told them about me.She rose an eyebrow "That's odd, I mean, you're gorgeous that's why I find it rare."The subject is one that I hate so I stayed quiet looking at my toes, after a few seconds Davina walked to the pool and sat at the edge. I took my flip-flops off and then the dress, I hugged myself as I walked to the edge because I've never felt beautiful. I stepped in the water carefully, it was warm and comfortable, Laurent swam to me with the biggest smile I've ever seen."Auntie Cassandra!" she wrapped her arms around my neck and legs around my waist.I smiled feeling her small warmth "You're so cute.""I know," she smiled bigger resting her head on my shoulder.She has more confidence than me.We spent a couple of hours in the pool but Davina never got in, she said she just got her hair done and if she got in th

He got into an Accident with your parents' car. It was the same day I and you lost our family in the same god fucking damn hospital. While that bastard survived and Live his life as if nothing happened!"I cannot proceed with anything further than this. But the unsolved pieces are now coming into their place.Now I know why Michael was so possessive over me. He wanted me to live with him so that he could make sure I won't open my mouth about my parents' accident in front of anyone.Now that I remember, I know why I saw Michael with a girl in my dreams. It was Michael and Loren since the beginning. there was not me anywhere in his picture.

"-That's why I've got the evidence for you." He completed his line from exactly where I stopped him.He stared into my eyes as he started making his way towards me. I would be lying if I say I was not scared. I was scared as hell that I could swear I almost had peed in my clothes...if only... if only he hadn't had reached for the drawer of the nightstand. I watched him as he took out a thick brown envelope out of it and slide it close again. I wonder what could be in it as my gaze never leaving his hand that was white-knuckling the thick envelope.He took us a paper and threw it into my lap. I glanced at it and then to his glorious face, waiting for fir him to tell me what is it. And like he a psychic to read my mind he answered, "It's the report of your medical shit. Plus a copy of the document that was signed by your and donor's family that agreed to donate the descendent's heart to save your ass."He should not be right. He should not be right. Please god, do
CEO of Bad Reputation CHAPTER 38~ THE FUCKERY
~ CASSANDRA’S POINT OF VIEW ~“I was planning to tell you all of this once you would have gotten better. Much better to handle everything as a reason to hold you back, for it’s the safest way to keep you by my side. But now it seems like I could not hold you back any longer. I could hide the truths from you about your life and what you have to face ahead if I tell you now.” I heard him say.I could not understand why he said that. The only thing I know is that I know thismotherfucker is gonna be kidding me if he pulls up a stunt to kill me, again, I’m gonna kick his ball this is one and I won’t be regretting it.I was waiting for when he was gonna open his mouth again that he had sealed after he was said that much absurdity. Looks like I would be one to start the fucking conversation with this weird creature.“Could you please tell me what is going on?” I pleaded, my voice was merely a whisper. I was too scared of him to ask him. He didn’t answer but his head hung do
CEO of Bad Reputation CHAPTER 37 ~ THE TRUTH OF YOUR LIFE
~CASSANDRA’S POINT OF VIEW~It was nighttime when I opened my eyes. My eyelids were heavy with the number of tears I had shed earlier, not because I remembered the cause about why I’m laying on the bed with an oxygen mask on my face to support my life and the reason was the same person who is been trying everything or anything since past few days to save me, to make me breathe freely without using a fucking oxygen mask.Ironically, when I opened my eyes in the middle of the night, I was in the embrace of that dangerous man who once attempted to kill me just to satisfy his revenge on Michael. His strong arms were caging me with the same tightness that I remembered was the first time he squeezed me into him early this day when I cried to know my reality.The huge room was shining with the pin-d
CEO of Bad Reputation CHAPTER 36 ~ I REMEMBER
~ CASSANDRA’S POINT OF VIEW~It’s been fifteen days since Daniel has brought me back to his villa or should I say a villa which he turned into a hospital for me. And it’s been fifteen days I’m still under the eyes of doctors and Oh, Daniel. He never left my side since the day he brought me here, not even for a second, even he if sleeps, just because I force him to sleep, he sleeps on the couch which in place at the corner of this huge room.I wonder what my connection is with him but the way he’s been taking care of me I’m sure we have some special connection, the difference is I don’t know if we knew each other already or is it just my mind that’s playing tricks with me cause sometimes I have this feeling that I’m or maybe I was so attached to him ( before I had lost most of my memories)
CEO of Bad Reputation CHAPTER 35 ~ THE MONSTERS
~ CASSANDRA’S POINT OF VIEW~Their laugh was suppressing all the noises of the world. The girl was glistening with the water of the ocean as the boy was splashing the salty water on her. They were running on a beach, ditching the waves of the Ocean underneath their feet. The sky was painted with unrealistic colors that can only be found in a rainbow or maybe it was the color of the cotton candy that was in their hands as they were enjoying it at the time of the golden hour.The girl snatched the cotton candy from the hand of the boy as she started running, “Come and get me,” She yelled at the boy while running as she heard the boy giggling, “Stop there, Loren. I’m gonna get you.”“First catch me, Michael.” She answered, still running,

The building has been evacuated but they’ve got Cassandra In the apartment” Aaron says, his panic can be sensed by his voice.“I’m on my way,” Michael says as he hangs up.
