Cassidy's POV
There are things in life that will just happen suddenly, like life and death the death of my parents in the hand of the old and greedy Conard makes me want to take revenge and wish for saving grace, and then Anthon was that saving grace. Growing up as an orphan I did everything I can to make a stand and earn the trust of Anthon Conard, the young successor of the Conard's. The day he saved me was the moment I realized that he's the one-- yes I am stupid to think of that at a very young age but then again you just know it, in a snap.
But all of it just vanished when I knew that he's married to a woman named Lily but it's not too late though she will eventually get tired of him, I rolled my eyes as I watched them together as Anthon's hands wrapped around her waist, how her lips formed into a smile hugging him back, I scoff in annoyance turning to walk the other way when I saw the
We've been here for two days already and I can say that everything changed after Cassidy introduced herself to me. She would always look at me like she knows something that I didn't know and would compete for Anthon's attention a kind of childish action if I can add. I stare at the flowers that I watered earlier I decided to help Nana with the mansion's garden. Anthon was busy with his responsibilities and work on this farm, yesterday we went to see the horses and Anthon thought us how to ride a horse we enjoyed it especially Melanie. I heard a tapping sound of high heels approaching where I was standing, I didn't bother to glance at who was there because I already know who was there, and I was right when the person speaks. "Lily," she said in a flat and unhappy tone, I silently scoff and put my hands behind me clasping both fingers as I turn to face her. "Cassidy," ment
ANTHON'S POV"Please! Forgive me!" Cassidy said as she was about to kneel crying, I immediately held her arm to stop her from kneeling. She clasped both of her hands in front of her asking for forgiveness. I sighed and massage the bridge of my nose."You should be thankful that I thought of you as a sister Cassidy because if not, I would be glad to plant a bullet into your head right now," I said, I glance at my butler and nodded he walk near Cassidy and then Cassidy began again to act hysterical screaming while she's being drag by the guards.
"Anthon!" A high-pitched voice shouted Anthon's name, I don't know if that girl was just stupid or what but she's starting to get inside my nerves. I put both of my hands at my back as I walk towards the garden."Lily," Anthon called my name, I just look at him and didn't say a word behind him was the woman named Karen, she has this expensive spoiled brat aura surrounding her. "Oh, she's here! Hi!" I just nodded my head and continued walking. I saw my two sisters laughing about something I just sat beside Kris and get my cup of coffee."Nana," Melanie said calling Nana walking towards us, I laugh a little when Nana rolled her eyes pointing at Karen, shaking her head. "That brat really is annoying," she whispered when she was near us as she places the plate of bread above the table and sits beside Melanie."Yeah, and she's talking like she's being always harass," my sister M
We just got back here in the City, I sighed and look at the mirror my hair neatly tied into a ponytail and I wore a white knee-length dress. "Are you done?" Kris who is leaning at the door frame asked. I just nodded my head and put back the comb in the drawer and turn to walk towards them who is waiting at the door."Where's Anthon?" I asked them, they both shrug their shoulder and I look at Melanie. "Are you done with your class?" She nodded her head and walk beside me."Lily," I stop on walking when I saw Anthon in front of us, I nodded at my two sisters telling them to go first. Kris held Melanie's hand and walk away from us, I walk slowly in Anthon's direction and stop in front of him."I need to talk to you about something," I said, he looks at me for a couple of seconds before nodding his head. "Follow me," He whispered, I walk behind him and following him
I talked with Anthon and he agreed to help me find out what was the reason behind my father's death, I know something is wrong and I can feel it."Lily, come here," Anthon called me, I turn my attention to him from staring outside the window playing with my nails between my teeth. I walk towards his table and stand beside his chair looking at the laptop's screen. I focus my attention on reading the details provided by his friend named Blake-- I keep on fidgeting my nail fingers as I stare at the screen.Based on the additional details his friend provided, The deal between my father's brother Tiyo Miguel has been long overdue and they had a misunderstanding regarding Suarez's last set of assets and money that's why my father ended dead. I clenched my fist and read it harder analyzing each word."Something is not right, why would they fight over the assets? father gave it all
"Hey, Moron," the man said grinning while walking towards our car, Anthon opened the car's door and guided me outside. "You're late," Anthon said as his hand he places his palm above my head and grabs the umbrella from the butler's hand."Woah! who is this gorgeous?" The man teased as he looks at me, scanning me from head to toe. "Off-limits, she's my wife-- Lily," he introduced me to the man in front of us, the grin on his face is telling me his the dangerous type who is a fVck and leave type of man. "this is Blaze, the moron who will help us with your father's case, unfortunately," he said, sounding annoyed I look at Anthon and saw him staring dagger at Blaze, I shake my head as I extended my hand for a handshake but instead the man took my hand and kiss the back of my hand staring directly into my eyes as he winks at me, my brows furrowed pulling my hand away from him and wrap it around Anthon's waist."D
BLAZE POVI can see the longing and hatred in Anthon's wife-- Lily, I clenched my teeth dialing Cassidy's number for the nth time."Pick up, come on!" I groaned when another attempt didn't work, seems like she was hiding-- by means, even I didn't know where she is. "Sir?" I glance at the person behind me, Loki my personal assistant."Have you found it?" I asked him, he's holding a laptop in his hands as his right hand fixing his eyeglasses looking at me with a slight frown on his face. "Not yet, Sir-- but I do have one detail, she made a transaction at the Bank Central and withdrawn money, and the amount is five hundred thousand dollars," My brows furrowed when I heard what he said.Where are you, Cassidy."Trace every detail, transactions," I said before looking back to the window. It got me thinki
I remember what happened back at the restaurant yesterday. After a long silence of crying we decided to talk about our situation, my uncle then met Anthon in person and told him to take care of me and he would like to meet my two sisters."Please, hija let me meet them," he pleaded, Uncle Miguel was not blessed with a child because of what happened to him during his younger years. We talk about things and the last encounter of him and my father, he also promised to bring us to our father's grave and promise to give my sisters the life they deserved. For years I really thought that my father surrendered all he has but turns out his brother took care of everything I also told uncle Miguel about our plan and he told me that he is too investigating what happened to my father.I played with my lips as the car was on our way back to the mansion. "Are you okay?" Asked Anthon, I glance at him before nodding my head
Anastasia "Ana" Conard-- Wife of Anthon, the woman he was talking to when he is walking away from me with a smile on his face, who would have thought? I am a fucking mistress, I want to laugh at myself. Flashbacks of memories with him keeps on repeating in my mind. I palmed my hair as I close my eyes and remember everything. Letting myself see him in my mind, my memories that were stored dearly. We walk along the shore, enjoying the night lights of the restaurant not far away from here. There was also a bar near their house and a resort. That explains the loud music every night, this place is perfect everything you need if you're a party-goer is already here. I can say that's in an awesome place to chill and have fun at the same time. It feels good walking near the shore with
"Hija, we have to run," Said my father who is now looking at me, he has this nervous expression on his face as I can't tell why he was afraid or bothered. I turn my head to look at my mother who is biting her nails nervously as she looks at Papa."Drive faster, Preston!" She shouted, hysterical at the situation I just sat there looking at them then I glance at my little sister-- Kris who is beside me with her seatbelts on. "Why papa?" I ask him, while I fix my little sister's dress she then looks at me smiling offering her lollipop, I just shake my head and tuck the loose strands of hair behind her ear."Will you please calm down, Cecilia!" My father said, annoyed by my mother's hysterics. I leaned between the gap of the seat in front of me and look at them, I can see trees and houses that are made in woods. "Where are we going?" I ask Papa, his eyes are darted on the road, his face expresses seriousness and calm, while my mother was sitting uncomfortably on the passen
We already talked to the vacant space for rent owner and we sealed the deal, I was now signing the contract and we will start tomorrow, he also said he has his set of workers who can work for me if I don't have but Uncle will let me borrow his worker when I settled everything here.I paid the downpayment for the space and rent for three months, I glance at Daryl who is behind me sitting on the couch as I am talking to the owner, We shake hands after I signed and read the contract. He then gave me his calling card. We then walk outside after the talk and making the deal, I put inside the bag of my copy of the contract, The owner was just living above the building and his office too was just there and his wife is kind too.Daryl then opened the passenger seat door and waited for me to get settled inside before closing the door and he then walk towards the driver's side and opened the door, sat on the driver's seat,
"Who are you?" said the boy croaking his neck to the side as he watches the girl sitting on the end of the slide crying, wearing a white dress stained with mud, dirty and disgusting he thought at the back of his mind, making a disgusted expression in his face then his eyes darted on the little girl's hair, she has these black curly ends and her hair are tied with a pink ribbon and pair of white sandals. The girl sob as she raises her head to look up at the boy who was standing in front of her, with tears in her eyes."Who are you?" The girl asks back as she wipes her tears using her palms, the boy's face distorts with disgust as he stares at the girl who is now wiping her face with her own hands and sniffing like some street children, with a dress in complete mess stained with mud and dirty pair of white sandals."I asked you first," The boy said, the girl was just there looking at her not saying a word a few moments later of staring they heard a woman's voice calling
I started off my day cooking my breakfast and having a sip of coffee watching the early yet busy streets of the city. I leaned my elbow at the table on the balcony as I finished putting the plate of my breakfast above the table and sat on the chair, facing the city while having my breakfast.I take a piece of bacon and eat it, having a nice breakfast is part of what I always want when starting the day, especially when the view is like this. I leaned on my chair after I finished eating the breakfast I prepared and tip a sip of my coffee until I finished one cup. I then walk back towards the kitchen to wash the dishes, carrying the plate in my hands, and put it in the sink, and wash it before preparing for my task of today.After washing the plates I then walk towards the room and then turned on the mini music player in my room and of course, my room has a television too but I like watching on the sala so maybe if m
I arranged my stuff in the designated areas, first of which was the kitchen and after the sala. After then I arranged my stuff in my room, I put on my pillow and my blanket and bedsheet. I then decided to buy other stuff.I finished arranging the other stuff and then I grabbed my phone and bag, putting my wallet inside and cards and then the condo's card. I then walk towards the elevator. I waited a bit for the door to open. I then went inside and pressed the down button when I entered the elevator, I opened my phone and leaned on the elevator's railing waiting for the door to open.I then walk towards the entrance when the elevator door opened. I pushed the glass door open and walk outside, I waited for a cab to pass by, and finally, there's one. I called it and then open the cab's door went inside sitting in the backseat.I said the mall's name and waited until we get there. I
When everything falls apart you lost belief in things that you once believe in, Love, for example--- I used to envy and dreamed of being that someone who receives sweet letters, flowers, and stuff getting surprises by their loved one but then again everything of it was a dream, fantasy.I clenched my fist as I stare at the ring that Anthon-- alright, he's a person that should not be named for my sake, as I said I stare at the ring thinking to maybe just throw it away or burn it to ashes if that's possible so I could have the satisfaction of hating him. I waited for him at the restaurant for hours and all he said was sorry and it was a mistake?"Lily? are you okay?" Asked Kris, I glance at her and nodded my head still thinking of ways how to forget him then I remembered, he didn't give that much to hold on to so why keep on sulking on a person who doesn't give you that much to remember? and besides, we've bee
We then had our snack and talk so much about my experiences there, I showed them the pictures of me and the friends that I had there. We had our time bonding with Uncle and we had dinner outside. I missed this, being with them brings comfort to my being.The wine bottle popped and Uncle laugh. "Alright, that was a bit messy," He said and laugh, we laugh with him as the wine was running down to his hands. I shake my head as I saw them again like this, caring less of the world. "Oh, no! Uncle!," Kris said pointing at his sleeves that were already wet from the wine, Uncle just laughs and pour our glasses some wine.He then sat back in his chair and toast our glasses, we talk about a lot of things and had fun in the night, we watched movies in the entertainment room and laugh at the funny scenes. I was between Kris and Melanie who are both laying their heads in my arms as we are laying down on the couch bed.&n
I force myself to stand up even I feel so heavy right now, is going here a bad decision? no, because in the first place he was there smiling while lying to my face making me think it was all genuine and true.I sighed heavily, my nose is stuck up and my breathing is hard but that's it I decided to go home and sort things out and end this well, I palmed my face trying to ease what I feel, I'll be going home tomorrow, I can't go home today I don't feel well and traveling will only make it worst.I walk towards my bed and lay down, without changing my clothes and I had no energy to do so. I close my eyes and breath heavily not thinking of anything so I could get myself to sleep.I woke up still feeling heavy, my head is pounding like someone is hammering inside my head. I wet my face with water staring at the water thinking of things that are not even real. I brushed my teeth
