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.
Five years ago “rocky! Come on boy come on”, I call as soon as I reach my father’s home. The huge black doberman dog jumps on me licking all over my face. “oh look at you how fast you have grown”, I coo at him cuddling as he barks happily jumping on my bones making me giggle. Though I never visited him since he was bought by Jackson but I made sure I speak to him on video calls and Jackson probably told him to behave around me. I scratch his neck and ribs lovingly admiring his silky soft fur which isn’t much but shiny. His cute brown patches on his knees and nose is my favourite part along with same patch on his right ear. “Where is you daddy”, I coo at him making him stop his cute attack on me. He grabs my jeans and pulls me towards the swimming pool excitedly. “Oh my god you are so smart”, I gush at him again making him wriggle his tail happily. “OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!”, justin was the one who saw me approaching them. To my horror there was a girl with them, a brunette and n
CASSANDRA’S POV “so you mean after his video went viral and the other one to whom you sent a box full of spiders cancelled to date you or meet you”, Ivan asks laughing amused. “Yeah kind of we are forbidden to even enter their premises”, I tell laughing. “Oh my god!!!”, he exclaims trying to catch his breathe coming down from his laughing fit. I admire him, his every smile every chuckle and laughter brings joy to my heart and I don’t understand if this even possible—me feeling love! It feels like dream. “Are you a vampire, wizard or werewolf?”, I blurt out mindlessly. “what?”, he asks in amusement. I blush furiously and hide my face in my palms in embarrassment. “oh fuck it!”, I whisper yell myself in my palms. “I guess am your green eyes wizard”, he tells and I can feel the smirk in his voice till my bones. Why the fuck you had to embarrass yourself cassie? “Hey!”, he tells as he stops the car side way. I sit properly and slowly take my hands off my face after peeking fro
CASSANDRA’S POV I can’t believe what is in front of my eyes. The childhood dream I used to wish very badly that I totally forgot about I even wanted to do this. Life was busy from last few years but I didn’t think it would be this bad. But what I look good in it is I still have my family, my parents and my brother – alive, I get to do my favourite job. The fluffy blue and white checks picnic blanket layered on the green grass, with a fort built with blanket pillows layered in it making a comfortable spot to lay. A trunk on which plates and cutlery placed along with scented candles lit with roses decorated around. A huge picnic basket with a cooler for drink though I doubt we need cold drinks when it’s already this cold. “cheesecake?”, Ivan asks patting the place beside him. “sure”, I tell grinning plopping myself beside him. He opens the cooler and takes out the cake which has twelve different flavours of cheesecake. “pick your favourite”, he tells placing it in front of me t
CASSANDRA'S POV“I have to go, my father is looking for me”, I tell Ivan getting up hurriedly and wearing my dress. I was almost dry rolling on the picnic blanket so that wasn’t a problem. “Is their something wrong?”, Ivan asks worried as he started getting dressed himself. “I guess, he might have found I sneaked into his office and am just afraid what he found about our marriage… I don’t want you to get hurt Ivan…”, I tell him genuinely as my voice comes out panicked. “Hey, cassie…”, he tells cupping my face as my eyes are almost going to tear up. This feels different, everything feels different. I feel so connected to Ivan that the thought of him getting hurt is making me go insane. “No one can hurt me okay”, he coos as he rubs his thumb on my cheek gently and place a kiss on my forehead with a smile on his face. I had to tilt my head up to look at him in eyes which kind of making my neck hurt but all I could think about the green eyes which captured me. I found myself noddin
CASSANDRA'S POVI bite my cheek and glare at him without speaking a word listening patiently. Patience! This is what I have been told to keep by Ivan and everything will eventually fall as we want. “and… to my surprise, you really aren’t like me… who breaks their promise, tell me what you were doing in my office, cassandra”, he asks in his cold voice trying to fear me off. “to be honest… am happy that am not as pathetic as you father…”, I seethe at him clenching my jaw. “I was just bored”, I said shrugging my shoulders casually pissing him off. “don’t act up all smart now cassandra! Tell me what was the reason you crashed my office in my absence?”, he growls angrily. “chill father…”, I scoff loudly rolling my eyes. “I was just checking up on you, I didn’t knew you weren’t there…, isn’t it your like usual habit for not being there for anyone…?”, I mock him examining my nails. “Well… I was just looking for you for the marriage thing, is it still on or you changed your mind think
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
IVAN'S POV After dropping cassandra home I came back to my mansion to take a quick shower, the contractor I spoke for buying a good apartment for cassandra and me at sea side view is almost ready and customized everything to her preferences. I just have to go and check it once again before deciding the main furniture, not to forget that I bought the painting which we both liked at museum and it will be one of the art pieces in our new home. 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
