View MoreArden Rhett and Warren Dalton pulled up to the hotel in Arden's sleek black car. As they waited for the valet to open their doors, Warren turned to Arden. "So, you think she's going to cave?" Warren asked, his voice low and smooth.Arden's eyes narrowed as he considered the question. "I don't know," he admitted. "But I need her to. Cassie has to be on our side if we're going to make this work."Warren raised an eyebrow. "And what makes you think she'll agree to work with us?" he asked."I'll make sure she does," he said, his voice firm. "I'll do whatever it takes." Arden says confidently. Immediately they entered the building, they spotted Trent and Misty. Warren nodded discreetly towards them as they walked into the restaurant. "Is that them?" he asked Arden. "The ones who screwed Cassie over?"Arden's expression turned grim. "Yes.""Damn, what a cold world!" Warren muttered as he continued walking. He scanned the room for a moment checking if any of the girls were his type. He wa
Cassie stood on the sidewalk, watching as the Mercedes drove away. She bit her lower lip, still trying to process the unexpected encounter.As she glanced at the receding car, her eyes landed on the license plate. Her eyes widened as she read the single word emblazoned on the plate: "Rhett".Her eyes snapped back to the car, now disappearing into the distance. She couldn't believe she hadn't noticed the plate before. It seemed like a glaring oversight now."Cassidy Murphy." Only few people knew her name, and even we're knew that she was a Silverwood. Her mind went blank for a moment. She couldn't stop thinking about her encounter with Arden. Cassie felt a warmth spread through her chest. For the first time in a long time, someone had seen her for who she truly was, and believed she was worth something.She walked into the house and went straight to her room. Cassie took out the cardboard box she and Cora had collected from Silverwood a few months prior. She hadn't opened it since t
THREE MONTHS LATERCassidy Murphy tried her very best to move on, but it was hard. The saying was out of sight, out of mind. But how could she move on when she kept seeing the faces of those who wronged her in every magazine and news station she tuned to.It was like they were out to get get her. Her sanity was in jeopardy. Since Misty and Trent's wedding arrangement and the talk of a possible merger, their photos were everywhere.Misty was the face of major brands as their ambassador. After studying accounting, she decided to be an influencer.Now Cassie was suffering the consequences of her decisions."Cassie, casserole!" Cora yelled. "I'm right in front of you, you don't have to yell," she rolled her eyes, "And don't call me casserole Cora," Cassie groaned. Cora smiled at Cassie as she pulled over to drop her off. "I'm off to the office," she said.Cassie knew what was coming next, and she held up a hand to stop Cora. "Don't say it," she warned.But Cora just laughed. "We're best
Trent's parents continued to yell at Cassie, accusing her of stealing from the company. The other party guests started to stare and whisper to each other.It seemed like Harris and Taylor were not going to stop their rant anytime soon. Trent's uncle appeared out of nowhere in his perfectly tailored suit. He was only a couple years older than Trent and was the Cheif of operations of Silverwood. The same man who embezzled million from the company. His name was Ross Silverwood, the most cunning Silverwood. "Hey, hey, calm down," he said, placing a firm hand on Harris's shoulder. "Let's not make a scene."Harris and Taylor turned to him still fuming."I don't know what's going on here, but I do know that yelling at Cassie isn't going to solve anything," he said calmly."Fine," Harris muttered. "But this isn't over."Daria, Cassie's assistant, looked on with sympathy, but said nothing. She knew Cassie was innocent, but she also knew that speaking up would only escalate the situation. Or
Cassie woke up to an unfamiliar ceiling. She rubbed her eyes, trying to remember how she got there. But her mind was a blank.She slowly got out of bed and looked around the room. It was a luxurious penthouse with a stunning view of the city. But Cassie had no idea how she ended up there.She stumbled forward, feeling a little dizzy. That's when she saw a tray on the bedside table with a glass of water and a pill."For your head," a deep voice said.Cassie turned to see a tall, imposing man leaning against the doorframe. He was watching her with a sympathetic expression.Cassie's eyes narrowed at the mystery man. "How did I get here?" she demanded.The mystery man pushed off from the doorframe and walked towards her. "You passed out on the side of the road," he said, his expression unreadable. "I brought you here."Cassie's mind was a jumble of confusion. She tried to remember what had happened, but her memories were hazy. And then it hit her - she hadn't finished her medication. She
Cassie's eyes were fixed on the screen as she stumbled backward. She couldn't believe what she had just seen. Trent and Misty? It was unthinkable. And yet, there it was, on the news for everyone to see.Her heart was breaking, and she didn't know how she was going to survive this.She was still very much married to Trent. They had never divorced, and now he was announcing his engagement to her sister? It was unbelievable. Did her parents know about this. She tried to convince herself that they didn't, but there was no way Trent would made an announcement if they didn't. Cassie was still trying to organize her thought process. It was difficult with the amount of whispers. "Oh no, he's like the most eligible bachelor in the whole city! Why is he getting married? I'm going to die alone!" one of the girls joked."I know, right? He's so gorgeous and rich. I would have given my left arm to marry him," another girl chimed in."I had a crush on him for years. I even tried to get a job at
Cassie sat in the cold, sterile holding cell. She was still in shock. How on earth did she end up here? Being accused of embezzlement and money laundering, it was way above Trent's thinking capacity. Someone must have put him up to it. Before she could process her thoughts further, a police officer came to escort her to an interrogation room. Cassie stood up, with her wrists still handcuffed, and followed the officer to an interrogation room. A middle-aged man with stubble and a stern expression, was already seated in one of the chairs. "Please, sit down, Ms. Murphy," the detective said, nodding to the other chair."Silverwood," she corrected as she sat down, her eyes fixed on the detective. They weren't divorced yet so Silverwood was still her last name. "I want to call my lawyer," she said.The detective nodded. "I am not aware that you are a Silverwood. I will keep referring to you as Murphy till I verify that information." He sized her for a moment, "You can call your lawyer af
Cassie's eyes scanned the pages of the divorce agreement, her heart sinking with each passing sentence. She felt a wave of anger and betrayal wash over her as she saw the proposed settlement: a paltry $1 million."It's not fair," Cassie whispered. Her voice trembled with rage. After all the years she had devoted to the company. All the late nights and early mornings, all the sacrifices she had made for their family.She had given her husband everything, and this was how he repaid her? With a measly $1 million settlement? "Cassie, maybe you should talk to a lawyer before you do anything." Cora wasn't having any of it. She knew Trent was stupid but not this stupid. "Cora, I've made billions of dollars for Silverwood. Yet I'm frugal. I get paid pennies in Royalties and have zero equity in the company!"Cora's expression remained neutral. She had told Cassie that she was being abused by her husband and his family, but she was too in love to listen to reason. Cassie was always the mod
"We're all so excited! Congratulations Miss Cassidy!"Cassie's entire office was in high spirits. They had just landed one of the sweetest acquisition deals that most huge corporations struggled to get. "I think this calls for celebration, someone pop open a bottle of champagne!"Cassie left the ensuing party to call her husband to inform him of the good news. She tried his number, again and again but it kept sending her to voice mail. "Miss Cassidy, aren't you coming back in, the shareholders are asking about you." Daria, Cassie's secretary inquired. "Something important just came up, enjoy the celebration." She said, heading for the elevator. The only thing on her mind was going home to the love of her life. She needed her husband, Trent to know that she had finally secured the greatest investment of his company's history. The elevator stopped at the underground parking lot.She got out, and then into her car. After a while, she was home. Cassie couldn't hold in her excitement
