I stared at Cassius as he stirred in his sleep with his face peacefully and relaxed, making him look like a baby and I could not help but smile as I watched him. I gently used my fingertip to trail down his nose and saw a small curve at the right corner of his lips, which meant he was awake. I leaned closer to him and whispered into his ear, “I know you are already awake.”

Cassius groaned as he pretended to just be waking up and stretched out his arm. He turned to me and then wrapped his arm around me tightly while we both faced each other on the bed with our faces inches apart.

“Good morning, my shining mirror!” he said with a smile, which I returned. “How was your night?”

“Well... it wasn't that bad,” I replied, and we both chuckled softly.

Cassius and I had settled everything yesterday, and I was very happy that he had decided to choose me instead of his father. He had sent all the evidence he had against his father to my phone, and that brought me nothing but joy. But I promise hi

    “Sweetheart!” I exclaimed as I rushed to the kitchen where I found May standing at the counter, crying as she chopped the onions.I hugged her immediately while she sniffled. “I really missed you a lot, do you know that?” I asked as I planted a kiss on her left cheek but she didn’t respond and just continued with the onions with tears streaming down her face.May really hates onions and I wondered why she was forcing herself to do this. “Let me help you with that,” I offered, reaching for the knife, but she refused my help.“Just have a seat. I’ll be the one to feed you this morning,” she declined in a sad voice and I knew she felt guilty for leaving me alone there.“May, thank you.”“For what? It’s not like I was with you when you spent time in that cruel place,” she replied, unable to even look up at me.“Yeah, I know... but you did a lot more to help than just being with me in there. You took care of the kids and informed Cassius about me being in jail. What if we were both in ther

    As the kids skipped school today, they decided to spend the rest of the day with Cassius and Kingsley while May said she was meeting with someone. I suggested Cassius take the kids alone, but he insisted on dragging Kingsley along, who seemed hesitant to follow him.I wondered if perhaps Cassius was dense or if it was intentional, as it was quite obvious that May had no one she was meeting, and Kingsley was hesitant to go with him because they both wanted to meet each other. Now, thanks to Cassius, the two of them were not able to settle their dispute today. As for me, I lied that I was going to get some groceries, but I was actually heading to the police station to meet Bryan.It wasn't my intention to lie to Cassius, but I just felt like I should not spoil his mood by telling him that I am about to have his father charged. He seemed very happy today, and I didn't want to ruin that.Upon reaching the police station, I parked my car in the designated space. As I headed toward the poli

    "Didn't you work for them? Then why are you so fixated on me?” I asked, and Bryan suddenly halted his laughter.His gaze drifted into an empty space on the ground, and his face was laced with sorrow which shows a traces of anger. His silence spoke volumes as I realized there was something between him and the Aldriche family and it definitely not good. Noticing he wasn't ready to delve into the story, I decided to change the topic.“I c…..”“My younger sister once worked for that witch,” he interrupted, cutting me off, and I leaned back in my seat with my arm crossed while I listened to his story. “She approached her, claiming to admire her work, but that witch took everything away from her….all her hard work. She tried so hard to prove that the artwork belonged to her, but no one believed her, not even me.” He slowly raised his gaze, and all I could see in his eyes were raw pain and regret.“Then one day, she slit her wrist and tried to commit suicide. Out of anger, I barged into Aldr

    CASSIUS'S POVI watched the video of Dad's secretary rushing out of the building as the cop fell down. It has been going viral since this morning, and I think by now, his secretary would have been arrested. Emelia really planned this thing out thoroughly because it would be very difficult to cover up this matter as it has now been exposed to the public."This is really bad. Won't it affect the company's image?" Kingsley asked in a concerned tone as he also watched the videos but I did not reply me as part of me just wish all this settled soon so we could all go back to our normal life.As we got to the mansion, I headed inside but on getting to the living room where everyone seated, I was met with a mug thrown across my face."Ahhh! Are you okay?" Kingsley quickly rushed over to my side and checked the spot where the mug hit. "I think you're bleeding!" he brought out his handkerchief and gave it to me and I took it and wiped the blood off my forehead."You bastard!" Camile yelled in

    EMELIAS' POV"Thank you very much for your support. I really hope justice will prevail and the truth will be revealed soon," I placed my hand on my chest and bowed slightly while the cameras continued to flutter. Many reporters also bombarded me with more questions, but I headed out as I was done for today. I was escorted out of the conference room and upon reaching the dressing room, May passed me a handkerchief, and I used it to wipe off my tears I had shed during the interview.“I thought you told Cassius you're not going to do it?” She asked, and I heaved a sigh, then walked over to the cushion.“Yeah, I did, but he still left. After thinking more about it, I don't really think I can back down at this stage. The public opinion is with me, and they are the only supporters that I have, so I can't let them lose interest in this case at this point.”“May, do you really think I'm selfish?” I asked , my eyes was now laced with teats, and she looked at me with a worried face as she walk

    “You came faster than I thought,” I said as I entered the Chinese restaurant room, seeing Jamez already sitting down.“I can’t believe you asked me to come here and still arrived late,” he replied.“I’m sorry, I had to pick someone up on my way.”“Hmm, I’ll be quick. Since I helped you last time with Desmond issues, so you should help me this time.”“Of course, we’re here to help each other. So what exactly do you need?”“I want to launder some money, but that fool has been keeping an eye on me.”“You mean your wife?”“Of course, who else? She’s always trying to act like the boss. Lately, she’s been nosy about everything happening in the company, keeping me in check. So I need to take everything I want before she tries anything stupid.”“I find that hard to believe. Don’t you both love each other?”“Love?” He scoffed. “If she hadn’t kept control of the company, I’d have divorced her a long time ago.”“But I thought she gave you all her property. Aren’t you in charge?”“That’s true, bu

I was just making my rounds and visiting all the teams,” I replied, and then she grabbed my hand and dragged me towards her team.As we were heading to her department, I suddenly felt the floor become slippery, but Kathy caught me and stopped me from falling.“Who is the monkey that did this terrible job here?” she yelled angrily, and all the cleaners quickly rushed towards us.“I’m very sorry, ma'am.

    With my mouth agape, I looked at Mary, who still continued laughing."Is that true?" I turned to Mary."What if it is?” She answered without a hinto of guilt. “ Do you think if I hadn’t lied, you would have married me? Do you think you would have even given me a chance?" She asked Cassius "Is that why you did all this? Because you wanted him, knowing I loved him?" My voice quivered."Can you please shut up? You liked him? Then why didn’t you tell him? Why does everyone always like you and not me?""What are you talking about? Mary, everyone loved you, even your parents.""Look at her, acting clueless. Do you know why I broke up with all my boyfriends? Because they all said you were beautiful.‘Oh, Emelia is such a goddess.’‘Look at her glowing skin.’‘I wish I could be her friend.’‘Can you at least be like Emelia for once?’Those were their words. They admired you and always said you were every man's dream, while I was right there beside them.""Mary…" I called softly, realizing sh

Some people were happy about the news, while others criticized me for being with Cassius after almost ruining his entire family.“Stop looking at this,” Cassius said as he shut the laptop.I heaved heavily, feeling frustrated and unsure of what to do.“Just give it a while; everything will sort out,” he said with a reassuring smile, and I nodded.I shouldn’t have let the kids go to school today. Who knows if those reporters went to their school? I picked up my phone to call their teacher, but David’s call came in.I bit my lip, feeling tense because I was sure it was about the news of Cassius acknowledging the kids.“Let me talk…”“No, I will,” I declined, standing up from my seat and picking up the call.“Hey, sweetie. Did you miss me a lot?”“Did I? I don’t really think I did, but I miss those troublesome big heads,” he joked, and a smile flashed across my face..David and I had a conversation, and I asked ab

The memories of everything that had happened came flooding back.“Cassius,” I muttered in anger as my hand tightened into a fist.I should never have trusted him or signed the divorce papers first. Now, everything I had worked for all these years was gone. I lost everything; my family, my marriage, my honor, and my prestige. There wasn’t a single thing I could claim as a gain from this marriage.

Grabbing a recording device, I entered the house but didn’t find anyone, so I went to the bedroom. As I slightly opened the door, I heard Mary screaming at someone on the phone.“What do you mean by treatment? How can I get a treatment at this time?” she yelled angrily, and my shoulders slumped.What? She is sick? How could I not know about it?Different questions raced through my mind as I rethought what I wanted to do. What kind of husband asks for a divorce from his sick wife? Staring at the brown folder in my hand, I decided not to go through with it. As I was about to close the door, I stopped at what I heard next.“Don’t you hear what I’m saying? I can’t get any trans

    I heaved heavily, my heart thumping as if it would jump out of my chest at any moment."Do you think he will forgive me?" I asked, fidgeting with my fingers, resting my back against the car.Cassius leaned closer to me and held my hand, stopping me from fidgeting with my fingers."I think he will, and if he doesn't, I am here for you," he said with a smile, which I returned.I apologized to Cassius and his family.

    "You called me?” I asked as I approached Bryan."Yes, I did because there is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?""Just tell me. I've seen a lot in this life, and it really doesn't matter anymore. Whatever happens will happen.""Okay. The good news is that Lydia wasn't the culprit," Bryan said. I felt a small wave of relief, a smile briefly gracing my lips. Maybe I had hoped too much for her not to be the one."Her husband, George, is the one. That's the bad news," Bryan added, and my shoulders slumped.I tried to speak, but no words came out. What was going on in my head at this moment was still unknown to me. I know there was no different if the wife or husband was the culprit but it was still surprisingly.Bryan asked me to follow him, leading me to where Leonard was being interrogated.
