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 thCASSANDRA 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
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 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
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 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
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 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
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
