Though I know this from before but I never thought that he intended to find a man to fix me, I thought he just wanted me married to someone who could take care of me. Where as Justin, I didn’t expect he will fall this low and marry me for property and take my dreams away from me and cut my wings off. “If this is what you think… that I need to be fixed”, I tell him heart broken. I need to sign these papers however but this hurts like really really hurts as if someone stabbing me. How could I not feel like this when my own dad thinks of me as a broken toy who need to be fixed. “if you are ready to hand me over to a man to fix me….I guess then it’s about time right?”, I said gulping down thickly and forcing my tears to stay inside. “Hmm”, he hums nodding his head with a victory smile on his lips, how iconic that he doesn’t even try to cover that stupid smile. “How can I trust you that you won’t harm my friends?”, I ask him trying to keep my voice casual but I know I am failing misera

I can’t believe now cassandra is mine. To be honest she was always mine but now, I could claim her publicly without fear of losing her, it would be great to see Mathew’s face rubbing it on his face telling that his daughter is mine now. Mu wife – cassandra Ivan miller. That stupid phone call made us stop one of the most intense moment between us but I guess it was for a good cause. I would have claimed her right there and fucked her brains out if the phone call didn’t interrupt us. I confessed my feelings and her response wasn’t verbal but I kn

IVAN'S POV“Everything is ready sir”, a man said bowing to me which I nodded my head in acknowledgement. “why can’t we drag him out of the house when we can sneak our men into that fucked up physco's house to install secret cameras?”, lucas asks as soon as the man who informed left. “because we will have witness but not proof, you disposed the dead body of that girl and Jackson made it clear to not invole his girl in all these”, I tell him casually fixing my hair. “oh”, lucas agrees realizing and rubs his temple tiredly.

But this Christmas Ivan won’t be at home as always, he had planned something special for Cassandra and am happy to see him putting efforts in winning her but am afraid that all this will break out in not so good way when she gets to know the truth. Sighing to myself I took two glasses of drink and made my way towards serenity. She felt my eyes on her or something but she suddenly stopped her dance and looked at me frowning and her lips parted in surprise. Then her expression turned into anger as if she realized that it really me. “hi, want to have a drink”, I tell her handing her a glass of cocktail and keep my glass of whiskey to myself. “Sure, but what are you doing in a strip club!”, she

CASSANDRA'S POVWaking up in my bed I yawned stretching my body whining. My first thought immediately went to Ivan. How would it feel waking up beside him, in his arms. A smile crept on my face as he invaded my thoughts, how good he look and how caring he is towards me and thoughtful to spend time with me and check up on me. It’s kind of cute he becomes so worried for me. Suddenly my phone buzzed making me snap out of my day dream. A huge smile plastered on my face as I saw the caller id.
