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
AUTHOR'S POV Jackson was angry, because he couldn’t save his sister but he decided that he will do anything in his power to put justin in his place. He can’t imagine justin with his only sister. Cassandra deserves better, much better than justin. After talking with lucas with a plan he came up with raise some confidence in him thinking that he could protect his sister. He went to the apartment where he kept maya. He have been spending time there quite often and he didn’t know when he started taking care of her. But somehow he let his feelings speak rather being cold to her. She always remained same, flinching at his touch and shivering if he asks something from her. Today he decided he will have her at any costs she can’t keep avoiding him giving pleasure while he provided everything for her. He still remembers the first day he met her. The way he saw her working with concentration not looking at him for more than necessary to make his hair style for shoot. The way she used to
Ivan's pov It’s been one week since I am staying at Cassandra’s home. We cook together and eat dinner together. She gets up early in the morning and goes out for a run in the park nearby, sometimes I join her and sometimes I don’t wake up when she slips out of home without making a noise. This home is pretty comfy specially with Cassandra in it. I am sleeping in the guest room as she made clear that she will kill me when I was asleep if I get on her bed. Though I would let her try it but to not piss her off further I let that slide. Though I will have her crawl into my bed soon, very soon. After buying a company in new York I shifted my head office here and surprisingly lucas wanted to work here, still things are not good between serenity and him. Specially after he found that justin was the father of Grayson and she wouldn’t tell him the truth which will effect him in the ways not imagined. Grayson doesn’t want to accept lucas as a dad because he wants to meet his biological dad
CASSANDRA’S POVI can’t believe he really said that. How could he threaten me like this? He is exactly like my dad! No worst than him. At least my dad was face to face, he didn’t act on my face. “you are a asshole”, I grit out shoving him away from me. “Do you know how much you hurt me?”, I glare at him in disgust. Shaking my head off not wanting to talk to him any further I closed my eyes and took a deep breathe. “I am really sorry, cupcake, I didn’t mean….”, I cut him off immediately. “You think I still love you?”, I ask him coldly. He looks at me with such intensity that made my heart skip it’s beat, he didn’t speak a word but took a step towards me slowly and I took a step behind as an instinct. He is looking at me as a predator looks at his prey, as I was backed completely on the counter and wasn’t able to move anywhere he locked me in between his arms resting them both sides of my body. He brings his face closer to mine and his lips almost touch mine, I suck in a huge
Cassandra's pov“so this was what you wanted to tell?”, I ask Ivan coldly. I should have listened to him if I didn’t wanted to look dumb at our wedding about everything happening but somehow I understood where everything was going. Surprisingly my father didn’t react as we assumed because he took Ivan’s side and kicked justin off which shows how smartly he dodged the ball we threw at his face. But somehow I know this is not going to end well and to be honest I wouldn’t care, I just want my passport back. “yes but I also wanted to tell something else”, Ivan tells me as we both are dancing together for the reception party which was happening right after our wedding. “Is this about my passport, I want it tonight, I will leave as soon as possible from here”, I tell him coldly. Swaying me from left to right our legs gets tangled then untangled making my stomach burn in desire wanting to have them tangled in different way. “I wanted to tell…”, I cut him off coldly looking into his ey
Cassandra’s pov “you have to listen first Cassie”, Jackson tells as soon as Ivan stepped out of the room. “why? What are you going to tell?”, I ask him sighing. “listen when you went to Miller’s industry it was ethan who was in Ivan's cabin”, Jackson tells making me frown. “did you hear Ivan’s voice?”, he asks cupping my face. I frown thinking back what I heard, the woman called Mr Miller but never said Ivan, and his voice! Oh god! How stupid of me believe that it was his when it wasn’t! “oh fuck! I fucked up!”, I tell realizing what happened. It wasn’t Ivan having fun in the cabin, it was ethan! That alien! But that doesn’t mean I have forgiven Ivan for his lies, I will never forgive him. This should go as the contract I asked for and that time Ivan didn’t sign thinking God knows what, even I wanted you have him in my life but then again he broke my heart which I gave him. He is nota trustworthy so I had nothing more to do Or ask. “actually… no I didn’t hear his voice but am
Three months later IVAN'S POV She left me all alone, it’s been three months I am coming back to our home, to cherish the moments we spent here together, laughing, smiling, joking around, loving…. We lived here. But now this home is dead silence. Closing my Mac book I walked towards the gym. I needed to take my anger on something if I wanted to survive, I choose to take it this way. After a hour of working out in gym, I hear the door of my apartment open and I walk towards the fridge and pour myself a glass of orange juice. Shutting the door I walk into the living room where Jackson is seated on the couch looking at me in anger. I know, I understand his anger towards me, of course any brother would have been angry if I hurt their sister as the way I did his. Atleast he was easy on me and not killed me for doing what I shouldn’t have which I regret everyday. What if I had said truth to Cassandra on the very first chance I could, she would have forgiven me, hell she said herself th
IVAN'S POV “Nothing feels good, something is wrong, I know”, Jackson said with a frown on his face taking our attention on him. “why do you think so?”, ethan spoke for the first time after being in the car. Jackson glared at them and snapped, “you don’t get to ask anything, after you almost killed my sister in the race where you couldn’t play as a man and now? You hurt her”. Before they could speak anything Jackson’s phone rang, sighing he lift the phone answering it to his ear and spoke. “Am sorry, I can’t come to any shoot today, yeah, yes, no, she won’t be coming too, I had her on maternity leave and will send you the documents later”, I hear him telling as we drove to the location of Cassandra’s car supposed to be. “Not a right time but you have a good news?”, lucas asks grinning at Jackson. Jackson smiles warmly at the memory and tells “yes, we are expecting”. “I always knew she was the one for you”, said lucas patting his shoulder proudly. “uh hmm, I was just thinking e
Cassandra’s pov Darkness….. All I could see is darkness. How does my life turned from being told to what to play with to marry one? How my life turned from rebelling for everything I got to heart broken. I guess it’s right, I was just a disgrace to the family when I was born. Dad was right, yes… Dad. He was right he said my rebel behaviour will bring only bad to me yet I choose to be one but now it’s late too late, I am sitting in the corner with my two wrists cut, which I don’t even know when I did when I was drunk. I was heart broken, I was lied, I was used, I was cheated on…. I was played like a doll. I wouldn’t have decided to do this, to take my own life but all the things I have seen in past…. Precisely since I came back to the Sydney which was supposed to be my home, where I should have lived a life which was full of smiles and beautiful memories but all I could think about is tears and pain. I always hated to be Cassandra Williams, I never wanted to be which many girls
LUCAS'S POV “Ivan… you need to hear what just happened”, I tell calling to his number immediately after Cassandra left. Why was she crying? And how the hell did she knew about it? “what’s wrong, lucas, am in an important meeting”, he tells keeping his voice low but I could clearly hear his irritation for interrupting him by calling to his personal number. I had to because this is more important than any fucking deal, I don’t care. “Cassandra was at the office, here, she ran into me while she was leaving and she was a mess, she was fucking sobbing and yes, she knew who you are and said she would marry justin rather than see your face, should I add the point where she said she hates you?, oh I did already, now tell me what did you do?”, I asked him in one breathe. I know I don’t have patience now, right after seeing how her condition was when she exited the building and she was driving alone, I just hope she is okay and didn’t take any irrational decisions. Past few days I have a
CASSANDRA’S POV Everything felt numb, what the hell did just happened? I was happy just few minutes ago after spending good time… hell great time with my husband, now I don’t even know who he really is. What does it mean? Why did he hide this from me? To marry me? Now what am gonna do? “you might be confused Jackson, this Ivan Miller could be different”, maya tried to resonate lamely. “hell no!”, Jackson said pulling his phone out from the pocket. “he is our dad's friend's son, we used to play with him”, Jackson said making my heart beat against my chest loud. He is my father’s friend’s son! That means he knew about me much more before all these things could be just a coincidence. He meeting me in new York and taking care of me in plane. Oh god! That’s why he knew about my tastes so well, the picnic I desired for and the house decorated exactly as I wanted but why? Why would he do all that? When he must have already known about my father’s plan. “now tell me am wrong”, Jackso
