Cassandra came downstairs from her room all dressed up, her uncle was waiting just outside the door. He nodded at her, a look of mild satisfaction on his face, and gestured for her to follow him. She hesitated for a moment but then followed him out of the house and to his car, just as she had guessed, they were going out…but where, and when nobody was at home too?

She quietly nestled into the passenger seat, and an anxious feeling crept over her. This was the first time he had taken her to one of his events, this one had to be intense. Her uncle was a successful businessman, frequently attending important meetings and gatherings, just like her father. But this time, he had invited her to accompany him.

She watched him as he slid into the driver's seat, starting the engine with a roar. They pulled out of the driveway, the car moving swiftly down the road. At first, the ride was silent, both of them lost in their thoughts. After a few minutes, Niko cleared his throat, preparing the conversation.

"Listen," he began, turning slightly toward her. "I'm going to a very important luncheon with a business partner today."

She nodded nervously, unsure of what to expect.

"I need you to be on your best behavior," he continued, his tone growing more serious. "This is a big opportunity for me, and I don't want anything to go wrong."

Her stomach tightened as the gravity of his words sank in.

"I understand," she replied quietly, even though she didn’t understand how it was her business to be with him, but she hoped he would explain further.

"Well," he added after a brief pause, "this particular business partner is looking for a wife for his grandson. And I think that if he takes a liking to you and you get engaged to his grandson, it could help me close the business deal I'm working on."

The car fell silent, and Cassandra’s eyes widened in shock and confusion, unsure of if she heard him properly, she stepped out of character for a bit and blurted,

"Wait, what?"

She paused for a while as she continued with emotions in her eyes and voice. "You want me to marry someone just so you can secure a business deal?"

"And what's so wrong with that?" Niko countered, his voice sharp. "This is a very important deal for me and my company. If a marriage can help secure it, then it's something worth considering."

She stared at him in disbelief. He waited a moment before adding, "You cheeky brat, when did you start talking back to me?

His expression turned skeptical as he continued, "And haven't you been living under my roof for seven years, rent-free? Who's going to pay for all of that?"

Her words died in her throat, and a heavy silence followed. He was trying to blackmail her.

"B-But you didn’t even talk to me about it,” She argued further, she thought her meekness allowed Niko to see her as some kind of pushover.

“That is why we are having this conversation…” She interrupted him immediately.

“We are only having this conversation as we are on our way to meet your business partner,” he must have planned all this in his head, Cassandra gripped the edge of her seat tightly. “Did you consider what I might want, Uncle? What if I don't want to marry someone just for the sake of your business deal?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

He sighed heavily, the tension in the car palpable, he didn’t want to sound imposing but she left him no choice. "Well, you have to," he responded arrogantly. "Believe me, this isn't an easy decision for me either. But sometimes in life, we have to make sacrifices for the greater good."

As they sat in silence, the weight of the conversation lingered heavily on Cassandra, or perhaps it was just her who felt it. Her uncle, the manipulative bastard, seemed entirely unaffected, whistling cheerfully as if he'd just won the lottery. She closed her eyes, searching for any possible escape, but came up with nothing.

When they finally pulled up to the restaurant, a wave of nervousness washed over her. Uncle Niko had filled her in on the details before getting to the restaurant. His business partner, Mr. Raul McKnight, was a multi-billionaire, well into his 80s. Her uncle had warned her to keep quiet during the meeting, emphasizing that he would handle the conversation.

As they stepped out of the car, Niko straightened his tie and adjusted his jacket, smiling confidently as he walked them toward the entrance. The scent of freshly cooked food drifted through the air, causing her stomach to grumble despite her anxiety.

As soon as they got inside, Cassandra’s eyes scanned the room. The restaurant was mostly empty, but she quickly spotted a man whose description matched, and he was seated at a table in the corner. He must be the one. The man appeared frail, his face lined with wrinkles, and his thinning white hair combed neatly to the side. Her uncle approached him with a wide smile, extending his hand. "Mr. McKnight, it's good to see you," he greeted warmly.

Mr. McKnight returned the handshake with a small smile before shifting his gaze to her. "And who is this lovely young lady?" he asked kindly.

"This is my niece, Cassandra," her uncle said, introducing her.

Cassandra stepped forward, feeling a bit intimidated by the man before her, there was a dominating energy that radiated off of him, but despite his powerful demeanor, the man wore a gentle smile as he extended his hands for a shake, she received it politely.

"It’s n-nice to m-meet you, Mr. McKnight," she stammered politely.

"The pleasure is all mine," Mr. McKnight replied graciously.

They took their seats at the table, scanning the menu while engaging in light conversation about their daily lives. Despite Mr. McKnight’s reputation, she found him surprisingly easy to talk to, and her nerves began to settle.

As they waited for the food, her uncle quickly steered the conversation toward their upcoming business deal, they discussed it for a while, and then unexpectedly, Mr. McKnight shifted the conversation back to her, catching both her and her uncle off guard.

“I couldn’t help but notice how lovely your niece is,” Mr. McKnight said, his wrinkled smile spreading across his face. “Have you considered finding her a suitable husband?”

Cassandra's heart skipped a beat as the conversation took the very turn she had dreaded. Uncle Niko had been right—the old man was desperate.

Her uncle’s eyes lit up with a gleam, but then he cleared his throat trying to hide his excitement. “Most men are scum," he began in a low, dramatic voice. "I don’t want anyone hurting my lovely niece. She’s my daughter now, and I’ll wait until I see someone worthy and deserving of her.”

"Such noble thoughts," Mr. McKnight said approvingly, his smile deepening. “You’re indeed an admirable man.”

‘Admirable, my foot,’ Cassandra cursed inwardly the only thing Uncle Niko cared about was his business and nothing more.

Mr. McKnight then turned to her, his eyes soft but curious. "Dear child, how old are you?" he asked. Her heart raced as she felt the attention shift back to her.

“I-I’m twenty-two,” she answered, fidgeting nervously with her purse, her eyes falling back to the glass of wine in front of her, one she barely touched.

Mr. McKnight chuckled softly. “I have a stubborn grandson I’d like to marry off as soon as possible.” He complained bitterly.

“Oh?” Uncle Niko gasped, feigning surprise. Cassandra cringed inside. He made her sick with his fake sincerity.

“Blake is a good boy,” Mr. McKnight began, his voice taking on a wistful tone. “His parents died when he was just five years old, and I’ve raised him ever since. It wasn’t easy to parent him but we managed.”

Cassandra listened quietly, her heart softening as Mr. McKnight spoke of his grandson with such affection.

“But even though Blake has everything he could ever want,” Mr. McKnight continued, “he’s still lonely. He misses his parents deeply, and sometimes I think he feels like he’s all alone in the world.”

Cassandra’s chest tightened as she understood Blake’s loneliness far too well. Losing both her parents when she was young had left her vulnerable, especially under the control of someone like Uncle Niko. Despite being an adult now, the pain of their absence lingered, and she thought of them every day.

Mr. McKnight sighed deeply, his frail hands resting on the table. “And now,” he said softly, “he doesn’t want to get married. It worries me because I don’t have much time left. I’d love nothing more than to see him settled before I pass on.”

Cassandra felt a pang of sympathy, there was a genuine sadness in Mr. McKnight's voice, he wasn’t desperate to just find a wife for his grandson, he was desperate to see the boy happy, and the fact that Uncle Niko wanted to use Mr. Mcknight’s emotions for the benefit of his own selfish interests annoyed Cassandra greatly.

Cassandra could see the sadness in Mr. McKnight’s eyes as he spoke. “I’ve set him up on numerous blind dates, but he never even gave one of those girls a chance,” he said, suddenly turning his gaze back to her. “But when I look at you, Cassandra, I feel like you might be the right match for my Blake.”

Her thoughts raced. How many girls had this old man approached with the same plea? This Blake guy had to be a jerk. At least he could show some consideration for his only family instead of making his grandfather worry so much. If he had just married as Mr. McKnight wanted then she wouldn’t be sitting here, pretending she wanted anything to do with him. In her mind, she silently scolded Blake for the mess she was now caught in, but in a way, it seemed like a blessing in disguise.

She had always wanted to escape Lance, this might be the perfect opportunity to let it happen.

“That will happen, of course, if your uncle allows it,” Mr. McKnight added.

Uncle Niko erupted in a nervous laugh. “I’m sure your grandson must be as responsible as you are, sir. I have no objections to this date.” He then reached across the table and took Cassandra’s hands. “I wouldn’t mind my niece marrying your grandson. Good men like him are hard to come by.”

Cassandra’s stomach twisted at his words. This was moving too fast, and she felt trapped.

“Cassandra,” Mr. McKnight said softly, pulling her attention back to him. “I know this is a lot to ask, but will you help me?”

Her heart pounded in her chest as she swallowed hard. Mr. McKnight had only just met her, but he had been so kind and genuine that she felt a strange pull toward him. Could she say no? She knew her uncle’s eyes were burning into her, a silent warning not to mess this up.

“Yes,” she answered, her voice hesitant. Mr. McKnight smiled, his expression soft and hopeful. He reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a small photograph, sliding it across the table toward her. Cassandra picked it up gingerly, her breath catching in her throat as she looked at it.

The man in the picture was strikingly handsome, with dark hair and piercing eyes that seemed to look right through her. He had an air of confidence and strength, the kind of person who looked like he knew exactly what he wanted in life. But as she studied the photo, a strange feeling crept over her. He seemed familiar.

Then, her eyes widened in shock. This was the guy from the grocery store—the one whose phone she had accidentally broken.

“That’s my grandson,” Mr. McKnight said quietly. “His name is Blake McKnight.”

Cassandra’s mind reeled. ‘You’ve got to be kidding me,’ she thought to herself, staring at the picture in disbelief.

This was the same stranger she had met at the store earlier today, the man she broke his phone by an accident. How is he going to find a partner with that sort of attitude?

Despite the tension, Cassandra felt a sense of relief and gratitude that Uncle Niko was not going to cancel the wedding because of Lance.For the first time in years, she was finally going to leave the family.“Are you done?” Uncle Niko asked as Cassandra finished arranging the table. She turned toward him, wiping small beads of sweat from her forehead.“Yes,” she replied quickly.“You should get dressed and ready. I’m sure your aunt can handle the rest,” he said.Cassandra wrinkled her nose in annoyance. She had already done all the work; there wasn’t anything left for her aunt to handle.“The McKnights will be here in fifteen minutes,” Uncle Niko continued, stroking his chin thoughtfully as he studied her. “I figured you might not have a

    “What were you expecting?” Blake asked, bending slightly to remove his shoes. Lena felt her cheeks flush with embarrassment.“Blake, you shouldn’t tease your sister-in-law,” Mr. McKnight said with a nervous smile, his eyes watching Blake cautiously. He suspected Blake might be planning something. His unusually obedient demeanor was out of character, and it made Mr. McKnight uneasy. Blake rarely passed up an opportunity to stir up trouble.“I’m not teasing,” Blake replied smoothly. “I was just asking if I met her expectations.” Turning back to Lena, he added, “Do you think there’s anything I’m lacking?”A nervous smile spread across Lena’s face as she tucked a few stray strands of hair behind her ears.“I don’t think you’re lacking anything,” she replied, her voice a bit unsteady.Blake smiled faintly before walking over to Cassandra.

Blake glanced at her, noticing something different.He wondered if he handled Natasha in the right way. He wouldn’t deny the fact that he still loved Natasha.No. He could never love any other woman the same way he loved Natasha. But he didn’t want to hurt Cassandra as well, and as it is, it seemed that Cassandra was just using him as well. “What was so important that Lance wanted to talk to you about?” he queried hoping she would be honest with him. So he could at least trust her. “I apologize for his behavior again.” She muttered taking her eyes from outside and then staring ahead. “What was so important that he had me leave for?” Blake was insistent on finding out. He wanted a reason… even if it’s a little bit, he wanted a reason why he could trust her. And if she gave him that, he would be sure of what to do. “E-Em…” she stuttered, clenc

    “Is she your wife?” The woman asked curiously; she stood toe to toe with Cassandra, who looked confused; her shaky eyes darted towards Blake, as if she were asking for an explanation.“It’s none of your business.” Blake shoots out as he nears Cassandra, gripping her arms and trying to get her into the car.“Stop!” The woman yelled as she jumped in front of them, spreading her arms wide, without allowing them to move closer to the car. “I will never let you go. You need to talk to me.”“I am telling you, Tasha.” He complained with a frown on his face. “I am married, and I can’t spare a word with you.”“We all know that you don’t love your wife.” The woman whose name was Natasha announced her voice was loud enough to draw attention from the people in the area. “Unless you want to lie to yourself, Blake. The only person you have ever loved and will ever love is me. The only thing I am asking from you is that you allow me to explain myself. Just look at how unhappy you are.”“Let go of me

    She glared up at Lance who had a smug of satisfaction on his face, he relaxed into the seat confidently. “We should place some orders.” He chuckled. “Your generous husband even left us some money to pay. How kind is your husband. I initially thought rich people were selfish.” “What do you want?” Cassandra muttered, her voice dangerously low. She could feel tears making way to her eyes, she could guess what was so important to him that he needed to say when her husband was away. “I hate to keep him waiting.” “Oohh… someone is trying to save her face.” Lance suddenly leaned back into the table, catching her hands. “Let me tell you how this is going to play out. If Blake ever finds out about us, he will not stay married to you. He will leave you as fast, no matter what you tell him, he will leave. And then do you think there will be anyone who would be interested in a woman who was divorced by a billionaire because she was sleeping with her cousin?” Cassandra felt her body trembl

    “L-Lance….” Cassandra muttered her voice shaky, her bulging eyes nearly rolled out of their socket as she stared at her cousin in disbelief.How the hell did he find them there…And what gave him the effontery to think he could join them casually. Blake noticed the shift in Cassandra’s emotions, and his eyes narrowed.He realized that whenever her family was around, she was always uncomfortable but when this particular cousin was with them.She shakes visibly, and now he was curious. He wanted to know the reason.“I hope you don’t mind me.” Lance asked with a playful smirk at the edge of his lips and Cassandra’s eyes darted towards Blake as if she was waiting for him to protest or something.“I don’t.” Blake answered which was quite surprising to Cassandra because she knew how much Blake dislikes him. “What are you doing here? It’s quite a surprise to meet you outdoor unless you’re stalking us.”Lance chuckled.“Come on.” He chuckled even more. “I am a medical student. I usu

    “We are done with the assessment,” Mr. Benedict said as Blake came back into the office, and he strolled towards the center of the room, and took his sit where his wife was seated.“Was it hard?” he asked curiously and Cassandra shrugged.“I am not too sure, but I did my best.” She muttered with an unsure smile on her face, she then leaned in to him and whispered the rest of the words. “I am a bit nervous.”“Don’t worry, you would do great.” He assured her, his gaze falling to her plump lips that looked ripe and swollen. Blake swallowed, the improper thoughts of the previous night slipped into my mind, and he felt himself stiffened again.Shit! Those thoughts were flooding back in again, and so he moved away from her, receiving the files from the principal, and his eyes narrowed and then widened briefly. Cassandra was nervous and didn’t know what to do from his reaction, and perhaps she failed.“What does it say?” She asked curiously.“You passed.” He handed the file to her, the pass

    “No…” Cassandra muttered, as she grabbed his arm, turning him towards herself. “I need to know if you’re okay or not. Do you feel sick?” “Just leave. I am fine.” He argued trying to push her away, but she slipped and fell in between his legs. Blake squeezed his eyes shut, he tried to push her away but it was already too late. Cassandra’s face flushed bright red as she felt something hard pressed around her butt, she stared down at Blake in realization who evaded her gaze. “Um…” she muttered as she tried to get off. “I think you should go and bathe.” “Yeah, or do you want to bathe with me?” he teased and her eyes widened. “I don’t mind.” “N-No…”she muttered as she quickly got out of the bed and before she got to the door knob, he caught her wrists.“Before I forget,” he drawled pulling her away from the door. “Last night, you had a weird dream. I want to know what it is about.” Cassandra froze hiding her eyes away from Blake scared that he might figure it out if he looked at her.

    Sunlight streamed into the room, and Cassandra stirred slightly from the disturbance; she felt a certain warmth that wasn’t coming from the sun and the kind of warmth that only happens when someone holds you tightly. Just by thinking about it, someone was truly holding her. Her eyes flew open immediately, and they widened when they noticed Blake was less than a centimeter away from her, but her panic soon faded away, and she relaxed in his embrace, using the opportunity to look closely at him.His eyes were shut tightly, in a relaxed state, his arms wrapped around her protectively. Seeing him in such a relaxed state makes her heart race slightly. She knew he was a good-looking man, but she didn’t expect him to be even more handsome while he was asleep; he looked like a painting, almost unrealistic.There was something about him—something that pulled him to her; she wasn’t sure what it was. It was very different from the kind of feeling she had when she was with Lance or with her uncle

    Blake was unable to sleep; the sleep that had been in his eyes had gone as soon as Cassandra agreed to sleep with him. And even on the same bed, she didn't make any noise as she plopped on the bed and turned to the other side. Avoiding or ignoring his eyes, but soon enough he heard soft snores coming from her, her chest rising and falling rhythmically.She was dressed in loose pajamas that hid away every part of her body, but it was obvious she didn’t wear any bras when she came in. Blake plopped on his side, supporting his body weight on one of his elbows, his weight pressing the bed in. He peered at her lovely face; her eyes were shut lightly, her long, dark eyelashes casting a shadow along her face, and her rose-pink lips were slightly open.She wore gloss, which made her lips look like fruits. Blake stiffened as he wondered what it would feel like to kiss her if her lips tasted as sweet as they looked.God, she was beautiful…Seeing her in such a serene state made Blake’s heart ra

That much was true. But…Seeing this plushie makes him regret all his bad decisions. He should have dated more sensibly. He picked it up snuggled closer to it.
