Ivan's pov I can’t be more than this happy in my whole life! Who knows It might change when Cassandra marries me and love me back as I do love her? It would change definitely, if not now, sometime in future and am ready to take this slow with her if my destination is her arms and a special place in her heart. As Cassandra asked me to meet at a museum I had to get ready in some casual clothes but warm. Christmas is around the corner still Sydney without snow! What a shame! Christmas was always special to me, through I didn’t spend a lot of time with my family, I made sure I stay at home and take a Christmas vacation. Family always comes first but my mom wouldn’t be satisfied with so many holidays I could take she wants me to take more. Now knowing getting me married to cassandra she would ask me to stay home frequently and spend time together and get to know her well. That’s what an going to do today. Wearing a blue denims with a plain white shirt I layered it with cream sweater an
CASSANDRA’S POV I don’t remember the days I woke up with a smile on my face, not for long. These days am getting too much of habituated to it. Last night I slept talking to Ivan on phone. We spoke about our favourite books. Ivan has a similar taste of books as mine. I like reading from male point of view so that I could understand what men usually think before speaking or doing anything. Just like Ivan, he likes to read male point of view books not because he is interested in their thoughts, he says he likes to read it because he would get to know their feelings which is rare as a man could show. He is true, no man exposes his feelings to anyone and if they did it would be someone special. I never thought he would be among the guys who speaks their feelings out, atleast not to me. He became that friend I could trust with my life and it happened so soon that I didn’t realize I need something more from him just than his friendship. I was stupid enough to ask him if he was single las
IVAN'S POV“Mr Miller, we have done all the arrangements you asked for, today the South wale art Museum will be all for yourself”, informed my new assistant on my phone. “Ok, cancel all my meetings for today and don’t get to me for any queries contact lucas for anything important”, I tell her casually glancing at the watch. great it’s almost ten and I reached an hour earlier, I can watch any new art pieces added so that I could buy them for my new apartment. “sure Mr Miller, have a nice day”, my assistant tells in her chirpy voice but without answering I hang up the call. I park my car away in corner so that no paparazzi catches me meeting cassandra, her being a celebrity racer it’s even hard to meet secretly not attracting much attention because even though she is new York racer, she is daughter of Sydney and people support her not to mention how many teenage boys have a huge crush on her and leaves love you, marry me, kissy faces and hearts on her Instagram account, not to menti
CASSANDRA’S POV After a little teasing session with Ivan it would be lie if I tell am not wet, The fucking hell! I get wet just standing in his presence. He is Lucifer who doesn’t need to push people to commit a sin, his mere presence is enough to make people around him sinners. We soon walked out of the museum and I couldn’t help but blush because of him being a gentleman for me. The way he holds the door for me to walk out and holds my hand while crossing the road as if he is afraid thinking me as a child who would run away in excitement. I walk keeping my head low and admire our intertwined hands. His hand is huge compared to mine, it fits perfectly as if he is made to protect me. He was looking around may be he is afraid that we might be spotted by any Paparazzi since last time in new York we did got caught in 4k. Our shadows are closer than us, if I tell am jealous of our shadows because they are closer than we really are, yes I might be weird but I couldn’t take the jealou
LUCA’S POV “Grayson! You fucker! Little piece of shit! Am going to fucking kill you”, I scream at the boy who is one and only son of the woman I love. “hah! I don’t know about you but am sure my mother would definitely kill you if she heard about how you speak to me”, he tells smirking at me. This little shit! He is just seven years old and had balls to threat me! But this Lilliput is right though I don’t want to be in bad side of serenity. How would she agree to marry me? “you are living your days”, I spat at him disgusted by the trouble he always makes. “Why the fuck you don’t want your mother to date?”, I question him throwing my hands up in air tiredly. “correction mister, I don’t want my mother to date you”, he scoffs at me rolling his eyes. I was damn second away from snapping his neck but the main door opened revealing love of my life, my serenity. “thank god”, I sigh tiredly. “mom!”, grayson exclaims excitedly as if he was kept in desert and didn’t get a single drop
IVAN'S POV “Will you marry me?”, those words of cassandra’s were ringing in my head continuously. She wants to marry me? But why? Does she loves me? Nah! It would be too soon to expect word love from her. Does she likes me? She wanted to marry me like really marry me?! Did I hear it wrong? I look into her eyes, her blue eyes hoping for a answer, which contains fear, fear of what? Rejection? “what did you ask?”, I ask her making her flinch. Oh shit! Did my voice came out so rough? “Am sorry, I didn’t mean to?”, I apologize quickly. “what did you tell?”, I ask her again softer than before. “I… I asked will you marry me?”, she asks again stuttering. I frowned. “why do you want me to marry you?”, I ask leaning back on my chair and analysing her. Her movements her eyes everything. I needed answers, truth! Being the mafia boss, I might not be that bad guy in novels who kidnap any woman and force her to marry him but I am that man who kills the one who caused trouble and ship
IVAN'S POV “what do you mean?”, Lucas asks frowning. “It’s clear Lucas, that Mathew wants to trash my name, my family name”, I tell him clenching my jaw. “How is that even possible? Okay he is Williams but you are Miller and who dares to mess up with you”, he asks again. I chuckle then smirk at him, “isn’t it clear Mathew is doing it”. “today, Cassandra asked me to marry her”, I tell him as soon as he heard his jaw dropped on the floor and after a couple of minutes a huge grin spread in his lips. “don’t tell me you fucking knocked her up and now she wants you to marry her”, he tells laughing. I roll my eyes at him smiling at the thought of knocking her up, would happen eventually one day though, I just need to have patience. Relationship builds on time – as my mother says. “Mathew made Justin sign the contract he offered me and Cassandra found it that Justin signed the contract”, I tell him playing with the pen in my fingers. “You mean she knows you are the one her father sel
Cassandra’s pov Morning came faster than I thought it could, sitting on my bed awake whole night with couple of hours sleep doesn’t do justice to my face. I look tired, with dark circles around my eyes making me look like am sick since months. I sigh heavily getting up from my bed. So today after running from multiple dates and men so that I don’t end up marrying one here I am going to marry. I still remember the day my parents set me on the first date. ~~six years ago"mom I am just eighteen for fucks sake!", I exclaim throwing her favourite vase on the ground smashing it into multiple pieces. ouch! did it hurt her? no! but sure her collection. " you breaking those things won't get you out of this situation cassie", my father speaks walking into the living room. "how can you set me up? I have my goals, I didn't left this fucking hell hole and struggled on my own so that I marry someone of your business partner's son who is less son and more puppet!", I shout at him angrily.
