ALEXANDER

"What can I do for you, Mr. Rivera? " James sits on the couch before him like a king. James usually did this in front of Mom and Dad to joke at them, pretending he was the king. Mom and Dad would laugh every time. I missed those days when they were still with us.

"Mr. Larson, You pulled all your shares from Rivera's Enterprise. You know it will have a huge impact on the company. "

"I know, and that's what I want. "

"But Mr. Larson, our family had a good relationship before. Why did you suddenly change? Is it because of Cassandra? If you are angry because we treated her that way, I have my reason. Cassandra isn't my daughter. She's only a daughter of one of my helpers who died when she gave birth to her."

"Still, you and your children don't have the right to treat her like a slave. She's a human too. And I don't condone bullying. I am firmly against it. Your children are heartless, the same as you. I don't want any connection with your family anymore."

"Mr. Larson, I'm

    CASSANDRAToday is Saturday, and I've been busy in my drawing room all day. I had already finished my painting, which covered the entire wall. I smiled, gathered all my things, and returned them to the drawers. "Miss Cassy, it's time for dinner.""Okay, Harold. I'll follow. Thank you."After dinner, Attorney Adrian told us to get ready because we were leaving in an hour; I was so excited. Jenny and Sarah have already helped me to choose the clothes I will wear later.I went to my room, took a quick bath, and blew dry my hair. I put on my clothes and sat in front of my vanity mirror, and I was so thankful when Sarah and Jenny came into my room, grinning, already dressed up, but they didn't have any makeup yet."Sorry, Cassy, but we came here because you have lots of makeup. Can we borrow some?" Sarah asked."Of course. I smiled. Alex bought me lots of expensive makeup, which I have yet to use."Let me do your makeup first." Sarah excitedly said, turning my chair to face her.She opene

    ALEXANDER I watched as Cassy and the others went downstairs. I stood near the wall, watching them. She looked stunning tonight. Her beautiful legs are on full display for the first time. Her clothes show off her perfect figure. "Do you want to go down there?" Adrian asked, standing beside me. He handed me a glass of wine with our eyes not leaving the dance floor, but my eyes only fixed on Cassandra. "Let them have fun. They will feel awkward when I join them. "I don't know that Cassandra has a hidden talent for dancing," Adrian commented. They formed a circle, and each one of them went into the center to show a dance move. I smiled to see her laughing. I want that smile to stay on her lips. I kept my eyes on them while slowly sipping my wine when I spotted someone approaching their group. "Isn't that Kris and his sister Christina? " "Let's watch. Bryan, Dustin, Billy, and Jack are there. Let's see what these two are going to do." Cassandra quickly stopped dancing when s

    ALEXANDER"You don't need to worry about me. I'm James Larson's assistant. No one wants to be an enemy of Larson," I said and softly punched my chest. A smile formed on her lips, and it lessened my worries."You're the assistant and not the owner. "Don't you know I'm James's guardian? I guessed not. The Larson Corporation is under my control until James turns twenty-six. He still has four years before he can handle his parent's assets. "Now, I think you are just boasting. ""I'm not boasting. Even though I'm James' assistant, I have a connection too. And I can protect myself without James's help.""Okay, but don't hurt the man too much. What if he has children? His children and wife are the ones to suffer. ""You're very kind, Cassy, but okay. I'll only teach him a lesson so that he won't do it again."Okay, and thank you so much. This is the second time you have saved me. ""You are welcome, and I'll do it again once you're in trouble. ""Thank you. Before, no one assured me that t

    ALEXANDER "Sir, are you alright?" Dustin and Bryan rushed to us. "I'm okay," I replied, even though I could feel my back throbbing. "Are you alright, Cassy? I'm sorry, I accidentally tripped on my other foot." "I'm okay, but you. I'm sure not. I heard the sound when you bumped the metal railing. Let me see your back." "I'm fine. I didn't hit the railing that hard. Come on, let's continue." I said. I stood up and offered my hand to her. Hesitantly, she placed her hand over me, and I pulled her up. "Are you sure you are okay?" "Yes, I'm okay. Don't worry." I pulled her to the middle of the rink again. I'm thankful she seems to have forgotten that I called her Angel. We glided on the ice, with her beside me while holding each other's hands. She looks so beautiful right now. She smiled with her hands spread apart, her cheeks red because of the cold, and her hair flying behind her. We did a few laps around the rink, and then I pulled my hand from her hold. Her eyes wid

    ALEXANDER "Yes!" I asked when the intercom in my office sounded. James won't be in the office for a week. Roman wanted to talk to me in person, but James volunteered. He wanted to go to the US to buy his favorite figures and a limited edition, which will launch there. He couldn't buy it online, so he begged me he wanted to go on my behalf. I sigh. James is still a kid. Now I'm the acting CEO for a week. "Boss, Carlos Revira is in the lobby." "Okay, thank you, Rex." Rex owns the Security Agency for Larson Corporation and is a friend of mine. "Yes!" I answered the intercom when it sounded again. "Sir, Mr. Rivera is here." Alona is James' Secretary and Austin's wife. "Send him in." "Okay, sir." "Come in." I quickly answered when a knock at the door came. "Good morning, Mr. Larson, Mr. Romero?" "Good morning. I'm sorry, but I'm the acting CEO for a week. Mr. Larson went abroad. Have a seat." I stood up from my chair and went to the receiving area in my office. I s

    ALEXANDER "Sorry, I accidentally dropped it," I said and mentally smacked my head."Just order for all of us, Xander," Adrian said when he saw my annoyed face. I glared at him and placed all of our orders."Hello, Cassy. I'm David. I introduced myself because it seem like Adrian and Xander don't have a plan to do it." I'm thankful to David for breaking the tension around us."Hello!" Cassy replied shyly. "I'm Theo, beautiful.""Shut it, Theo." I snarled. He rolled his eyes and smiled at Cassy, who looked nervous because of me. What can I do? I hate it when someone flirts with her, and I'm jealous of bastard Adrian. Cassy is very close to him, and it annoyed me.Our food arrived. I ordered steak, mashed potato, some fries in cheese, and bolognese spaghetti because I know Cassy likes all these."I can do it, Xander." She whispered when I cut her steak into bite-size pieces, but I ignored her and placed it in front of her afterward."Thank you." She whispered, blushing when Rex whistle

    CASSANDRA I think he likes you, Cassy. " Those words replayed in my mind until we reached home. I quickly exited the car when Adrian parked in the garage and rushed to the front door. "Everyone, we are going to Jeju Island on Saturday," I announced, bouncing inside the door. I'll think about what Adrian told me earlier later. Nothing could ruin my happiness right now. "What?" Jenny was the first to approach me, followed by the others. "Jeju? I am going too?" She looked at me with hopeful eyes. "Yes, all of us." I grinned. "Yes!!! Jenny shrieked, jumping. She held my hand, and we jumped together like kids in the middle of the living room. "Wait, why are we going to Jeju?" Is there an occasion to celebrate? " "No, Ma, Sir. Xander invited us. He asked me to paint him and wanted to do it on Jeju Island. "Wow, that was thoughtful of him, but isn't it costly?" "Don't worry, Amara. Xander can afford it. He wants a few days off from work and brings us in return for Cassy's favor

    CASSANDRAWe're leaving for Jeju Island early tomorrow morning. I already packed my bag, and I'm checking to see if I forgot something. We're staying for three days, and I have already planned what I will do.After I paint Xander, I'll ask the others to accompany me on a tour around the island. We'll visit all the tourist spots, swimming and snorkeling.I'm so excited. I packed two pairs of swimsuits and goggles. I love to swim. I only went to a beach once during Mama Amara's off day. I'm thankful for the first time Sir Carlos allowed me. We went to the beach, only the two of us, and I stayed in the water until I got sunburned. I still don't plan to leave the water, but Mama said I might get a skin disease if I stayed more in the water.Now I'm so excited to do it again. I hope we will stay at the beach longer. I don't need to bring my painting materials because Xander said he would provide them, and I'm thankful for that. It would be a big hassle if I did.I'm so excited to go to Je

    I groaned in annoyance when the bright sunlight suddenly hit my face, waking me up from my slumber. Another groan left my lips. My head felt like being pounded by the sledgehammer, and it weighed me down."Good afternoon, my dear wife. I don't want to wake you, but we are heading home soon." Alex said, caressing my face."Afternoon already?" I mattered."Hmm!! He hummed in response and placed a tender kiss on my cheek."My head hurt," I murmured. "Come on." He helped me to a sitting position, and I leaned my heavy head on his shoulder."Aunt Andrea makes soup for your hangover." He picked up the bowl on the bedside table, scooped a spoonful, and brought it to my lips. I took a sip, only to spit it out. I couldn't understand how it tasted, but it tasted so bad."What is that?" I asked and quickly distanced myself from him."You drin

    CASSANDRA Stop moving, Cassy." Sarah said in annoyance as she applied my eyeliner while Jenny was busy doing my hair. We are in one of Alex's rest houses near the beach. We arrived here around two in the afternoon yesterday and today is our wedding, it's a beach wedding with only us and three of his friends, Felix, Darren Harry, and of course James. James was grinning from ear to ear when he arrived from the US after knowing Alex and I's upcoming wedding. He said that he was so happy for his brother and gave us his blessing. I was so happy that he accepted me to be his brother's wife, but I blushed in embarrassment every time he mentioned my crush to him. Alex was so annoyed every time James mentioned my crush to him and James loved to tease him every time. It always brought a smile to my lips every time it happened. I envy their relationship as a sibling which I didn't experience with mine. It still hurts

    We arrived at the university, and I quickly got out of the car. And everyone's eyes were on us, mostly on me because I was with their crushes. Dustin and Bryan are heartthrobs at school and I always received hateful stares because of them but I ignored them. Today I'm determined to make Claire my friend. She has almost the same schedule as mine, and it will make it easier to get closer to her. We went to our locker first before we went to our first class, and when I saw Claire already sitting alone beside the window, I occupied the seat beside her, which I had noticed no one sitting since yesterday. Bryan and Dustin gestured for me to sit beside them, but I shook my head. Claire's eyes turn to me, and I smile at her, but she only looks at me for a few seconds before returning her eyes outside the window without returning my smile, but it doesn't dishearten me. "Hi! I hope you don't mind if I occupy the seat beside you." She glanced at me again but didn't utter a word before she re

    CASSANDRA The following day, I was startled to see Alex sitting on the edge of my bed when I opened my eyes. I quickly sat up and grabbed my phone to check the time, thinking I was already late for school, but it was only seven in the morning, and my first was at ten in the morning today. I slumped back on my bed, ignoring him. I'm still sleepy because of his sudden proposal. I was surprised, but also it brought joy to my heart. I couldn't contain my giddiness the previous night and slept around two in the morning. I heard him chuckle, but I ignored him and closed my eyes. I smiled when I felt his lips on my forehead. "Morning, Angel." He whispered and lay beside me. "I want to sleep more," I murmured and buried my face in his chest. "I'm going to work at eight, and I couldn't drop you at school today. I want you to join me for breakfast, but it seems like you didn't sleep properly last night. " Hmm!!! I hummed in reply. "Okay, you sleep more. I ask Aunt Amara to wa

    ALEXANDER Ummm!!! Can we talk about it some other time?" She uttered, and my face suddenly fell, but I quickly covered it with a smile. "Of course, Angel," I resumed eating with my eyes fixed on my plate. I knew their eyes were on me, but I couldn't look at them. I feel disappointed. I expect she will agree to hold our marriage soon, but maybe I'm rushing too much. I just proposed to her. Perhaps she is still thinking. Maybe tomorrow she will tell me when she wants to hold our wedding. With those thoughts, hope bloomed in my heart. But the bright atmosphere instantly becomes gloomy. Everyone turned quiet. "I made a cake." Dan clapped his hand, breaking the awkward silence around us. "I hope it's a chocolate cake, Dan," Harry grinned. "No, it wasn't. I'm sure it's Vanilla flavor. Aunty Andrea knows it's my favorite." Adrian seconded. "Strawberry?" Bryan grinned. "Red velvet?" Dustin guesses. "Sorry, guys, but I made Cassandra's favorite cake," Dan said, smiling. "S

    CASSANDRA I'm home." I hollered as soon as I stepped inside the front door. "Welcome home, dear. How's your first day back to school?" "Good, Ma. Everything's fine. My professors are all good." " That's good. Now go and wash up. Xander is waiting for you in your drawing room." "He's home early? Why he's in my drawing room?" I haven't repainted the wall yet." I felt nervous when I remembered what I had told him before I exited the car. I'm still a little bit embarrassed to face him. "I think he has an important thing he wanted to tell you. We are going to eat dinner after." "Okay, tell him I'll be quick," I ran to my room and bathed. When I exited the bathroom, I saw a beautiful white lace dress lying on my bed. I smiled to see a note on top of the dress. "Wear this." Alex ❤️ What is this all about? I picked up the dress, and there was a box under it. I opened it and saw flat silver sandals. I put on the dress and the sandals, fixed my hair, and put some powder

    XANDER It was past one in the afternoon when I arrived home. "Why you're back early?" Harold rushed to me when I stepped inside the front door, and I could see worries in her eyes. He was used to me being home around six in the afternoon when I was still living with them, and it was the first time I came home at this hour. "Nothing happened, Harold. I only have an important thing to do. Where's Aunty Amara?" "She's cleaning your room." "Ah, okay. I go to my room. I have something to ask her." "Have you eaten your lunch?" "I eat already, Harold. Thank you." I went to the elevator that would bring me to the next floor with a pounding heart. Aunt Amara is fixing my bed when I reach my door, and even though the door is open, I knock to avoid startling her. Before, only Harold cleaned my room, but now that Cassandra knows about my identity, Andrea and Aunty Amara alternately clean my room, whoever has free time. "Sir Xander, you come back early. I'm sorry, I haven't finished clea

    CASSANDRA After bathing, I quickly changed into my pajamas and rushed inside my room. I hurriedly blew dry my hair and dived onto my bed, pulling the cover around me. I want when Alex comes back; I'm already sleeping. I can't face him at the moment. Maybe tomorrow. I was already dosing off when I heard a knock at the door. I ignored it and pretended that I was already sleeping. The door opened, and I heard footsteps coming. Then I felt him sit beside me. "Are you sleeping, Angel?" I keep my facade and don't make any movement movement. I feel his lips on my cheek, and then he runs his fingers on my hair. "I love you, I love you so much, Angel. Until now, I still couldn't believe you were beside me. I've dreamed of you in my arms for a long time, and now you are here, and I'll do everything that smiles on your lips will stay there as long as you are by my side. Let me lay beside you for a while, okay? I'll go back to my room later." He whispered. Then I felt him lay beside me a

    CASSY It was around seven in the evening when we left Alex's office. "What do you want to eat for dinner, Angel?" He asked as we drove out of the parking lot. "I want seafood." I smiled when he chuckled. I knew that he knew that seafood was my favorite. After a few minutes of driving, he parked in front of a high-end seafood restaurant where rows of expensive cars parked. I could see the people getting in and out of the restaurant, most of them wearing formal attire. I looked at the clothes I was wearing. "Alex, I think I'm wearing inappropriate clothes for this restaurant." "Who said that? You can wear a pajama for all I care. We want to eat, and we are not at a party. No one will stop you from getting inside to eat, or they'll answer me. And besides, what you are wearing looks good on you." He smiled and kissed my cheek before he got out of the car and ran to my side. He opens th
