CASSANDRA’S POV The sunlight fell on my face irritating me more than I could take as I groaned in annoyed that I forgot to drape the damn curtains before I fell asleep. I turned around and pushed my face into a pillow and nuzzled my face into it rubbing it with my cheek before huffing. Wait a minute! Why the pillow is hard? I frowned then opened my eyes just to look at the view which knocked all the air from my lungs. I saw my husband looking at me grinning as he rested his head on his palm supporting it on his elbow on the pillow and I realized I was rubbing on his chest. His black hair falling on his eyes making him look raw and hot and his green eyes twinkling with amusement as he had a grin. “good morning, princess”, Ivan spoke with his raspy morning voice making my stomach flutter with the butterflies he gives me. “good morning, baby”, I cooed then closed my eyes back to sleep. He chuckled as he saw me going back to sleep but I can’t help am tired and I slept late at nig
CASSANDRA’S POV “ummm”, I moaned at the taste of yummy croissant and a cup of hot chocolate. “this is so tasty, Ivan”, I complemented devouring my food. After a long night I was really hungry while Ivan went out of the washroom to give me some privacy I did my skincare routine, attended nature's call and got dressed in a cozy red sweater with a green pants. Why not? It’s Christmas today and I have whole day and another night to spend with my husband. When I went out Ivan was wearing a white hoodie and black jeans. The table was set with tasty breakfast I could ever ask for. All type of sandwiches, desserts and four cups which probably had drinks. I couldn’t help but drop my jaw in shock and surprise but I saw Ivan grinning at me happily which made me snap back from my shock and smile at him gratefully. “You didn’t have to do this much for me”, I gasped giving him a quick hug. He hugged me back telling, “I wanted to”. Now as we are sitting on the table enjoying our breakfast. “
JACKSON’S POV “I can’t believe am going to be a dad”, I exclaim happily, my tears threatening to fall but I embraced them and let them flow as I couldn’t hide my happiness. “You… you aren’t angry or mad at me?”, maya asks me in disbelief. I frown at her words and shake my head placing the reports on the table beside us. Cupping her face in my palms I kiss her forehead and rub her cheeks with my thumb. “No, why would I be mad at you baby?”, I tell her softly. “If someone have right to be mad then it’s you not me”, I tell her sighing, guilt crawling in my chest making me hate myself more for the way I treated her. “no, am not mad, am happy, jack”, she tells truthfully as I see tears forming in her eyes again. “no, don’t cry, please forgive me for the dick I was, I swear I will love you and our baby a lot, I will try to be a good husband and will treat you with respect you deserve”, I tell her genuinely. “I love you too, I know you will be the best dad”, she tells with full confi
Cassandra’s pov It was so hard to leave our home and come back here, I have said I want to hang out alone for this Christmas and spend some time rationalizing my thoughts staying in a hotel room. Well it wasn’t all lie, I did rationalizing my thoughts and decided what my heart said. And I cherished every bit of it. “welcome home”, chimed Jackson coming towards the door and hugged me. I chuckled heart fully as I hugged him back and said “I smell happiness”. “you do?”, he asks smirking to which I nod my head as yes and find maya sitting on the couch with a bowl full of strawberries and smile at me brightly answering my unspoken question with a nod. “Of course and I could see you are on your way to be a good boyfriend and a dad”, I tell patting his shoulder proudly. “I am trying my best”, he tells smiling slight blush forming on his neck making him look adorable. “You know what I smell from you?”, he asks smirking as his voice in a whisper only I could hear. “what?”, I ask sligh
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
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 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
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
