“Do you think I care what he will say”. Raphael said.

“ even if you don't care about what he will say what about his wife don’t you care he will take it out on her”.

“If he so much as lay a finger on her I'm going to kill him”.

“ there is a less messier way of dealing with this”, Javier said wisely.

“ if you have something to say just say it already”.

“how about you sticking him with someone else”, he said.

“what good will that do”, Raphael said.

 “ if she thinks her husband is cheating on her…..”,Javier stated.

“it’ll be much easier to have her”, raphael finished”why haven’t I thought of that before”,

“Maybe because you have been thinking with your lower body instead of your head”. Javier said.

“'m going to pretend you never said that”,

“ so who do you think is up for the job”.

“ think I know just the right person……..”,raphael and smiled.🤔🤔

“ cassie don't do this to yourself,come on you've been there for almost a day”.

“ go away!!”.

“ Cassie, I’m sorry princessa it won't happen again, please come out from there, I hate to see you like this”,he pleaded.

“That's not true, I love you very much, I'm sorry if I haven't paid attention to you I'm sorry”.

 “just leave me be!!”, she said “I need some time alone”.

“Cassie, is this some kind of way to punish me I said I'm already sorry”,Domingo said.

 “ perhaps I could help you even though you've been ignoring me instead”, she said.

 “well I've been trying to get to negotiate business with that man over there, but he has been giving me a cold shoulder he said pointing to Domingo.

 “ you mean Domingo Salvador”, aurora said and he nodded “if there’s anything Domingo likes is a good business arrangement, I wonder why he’s like that, have you offended him in any way “she said and he shook his head.

“ I’ll see what I can do, but I can’t promise anything”.

“ I’ll be very grateful if you’ll be able to persuade him”.

“ but on one condition”she said.

“Okay come on Cassie you can't stay cooped up forever”, Cassie said to herself in the mirror.

“you have to mingle and be your usual self, nothing can go wrong”,she assured herself and adjusted herself before leaving the room.

       As usual the ship was bustling with activities, champagne and wine flowing everywhere it was like a world on his own laughter reached her ears and she turned to see her husband with some Voluptuous lady and frowned.

“maybe he’s cheating on you”,Raphael’s voice rang in her head.

“No, it can't be”,she shook her head “but he never laughs with me like that”, she mused.

“ and I was beginning to think I will have to draw you out from that blasted room “,Raphael said coming up behind her, he noticed Cassie's stare “you've noticed them”he said deciding to add fuel to the fire “they’ve been like that since I can remember one would think they’re actually lovers”.

Cassie stomped her foot”who the hell is she”,she said.

“I don’t know, but she’s hot”, Raphael said “so what are you going to do”.

“ I would love to squeeze the life out of her”, Cassie said vehemently” but I figured she's not worth it”.

“ so you’re just going to ignore him”, he said stupefied,. Cassie sighed.

“You know I don’t understand you one bit Cassie”, Raphael said.

“ and you never will”,she said sipping a glass, she watched as her husband and that slutty princess last at some silly joke,she had to admit she was angry but if she react now it would make no difference between them and her.

“it hurts, doesn't it” he said watching her silent Demeanor.

“ so this is the reason he barely have time for me”, she said” because I’m not good enough for him i know I’m not perfect but I try very hard”she said and drank another glass”I'm still not good enough for him”, she lamented.

“hey, don't beat yourself up he's the one who cheated not you”, Raphael said “except if you can count our steamy night together as one”, he added seductively Cassie shivered .

“I refuse to remember it”.

 “ why because it reminds you of what you are truly missing”.

“ I rather we not talk about it”, she said.

 “ that’s too bad that’s all I ever want to talk about”, he said sounds of laughter reached her again and she swore.

“ that it”, she said and stalked off to meet them.

 “now that’s more like it”, Raphael said and stepped back to watch the unfolding drama.

“If you’ll please excuse us, I have something I want to discuss with my dear husband”cassie said very very sweetly.

“ oh I must say you have very lucky to have someone like him ",the slutty bitch said.

“ yes of course”, she said “that’s why you want to steal him from me” she added in her mind and she sternly Pulled Domingo away.

“what was that for”, Domingo said as she pulled him into a private corner

“ so this is the bitch you left me for right”,she said angrily.

“ what the hell are you talking about”.

“all this while I thought it was only business that’s taking up your time I never knew you could do this to me”.

“ do this to you what”he asked.

 “OH don’t play dumb with me I saw you and that’s slutty whore”, she said.

“aurora is not a whore”, Domingo said sternly.

“ Oh so now You are supporting her”.

“and she’s nothing but a friend”.

“ spare me that I saw the way you two were cozing up to each other I am not blind”,she said.

“well you are Domingo said “and come to think of it, who knows whether you are cheating on me as well in fact I'm not surprised ever since we got here, you've been acting strangely and you just want something to pin on me to justify your own actions”.

 “how dare you”,Cassie said unable to believe her ears .

“you’re just like the rest of them only I haven’t seen you”, he said all Cassie SaW was red and she slapped Him .

“how dare you compare me to those slut you’ve been with, how could you”,she said. Domingo grabbed her by the arm and shook her fiercely pushing her to the wall his finger digging into her flesh.

“Let go,you’re hurting me”Cassie said struggling.

“ the next time we try that Cassie we are going to get it tough Cassandra”, he said fiercely.
