CHAPTER 14

CASSANDRA

"Hey!" I call out to him, walking towards him, “Are you trying to poison me?” I ask while peering over his shoulders to look at what he is cooking. He is making pancakes, and they kinda look okay, although they are so freaking shapeless. I guess it should taste okay since pancakes aren’t that hard to make.

“What do you mean?” He chuckles, still focused on what he is making. I giggle lightly at how cute he looks when he’s focused, I’ve never seen anyone so focused on making simple pancakes before.

“You’re cooking.” I deadpan.

“I don’t get what you’re trying to say.” He says, still focused, and wipes sweat off his forehead with the back of his arm.

I roll my eyes at how dense he is. “You don’t know how to cook, remember? You never paid attention to your mum’s cooking lessons, and you said it yourself that your cooking is very terrible.”

“Come on, don’t be like that. At least its’ edible." He laughs, with his back still facing me.

"If you can cook, why then did you

    CHAPTER 15NICHOLAS"What are you doing?" Cassandra asks Nicholas, as she tries to get away from his touch but he does not budge, instead he presses into her further, determined to not let her go. He wants nothing more than to have her, to kiss her and make her his for the rest of his life. He has been trying his best to ignore the way he feels about her, telling himself it was just lust, but he has no choice than to accept the fact that he loves her so much. He has never felt this way about any woman before, and it is driving him crazy. After the little kiss they had just shared, all his heart crave is nothing more than to kiss her senseless, and make her feel the same way he did."What I should have done the first day I met you." He says pulling her away from the wall, and against the counter and without giving her time to understand or protest, his lips crashes hungrily against hers’ as he presses his body into hers, as if trying to meld it into one.He pulls her into his arms and

    CHAPTER 16CASSANDRAI toss and turn in bed, wrapping my hands round my stomach, not knowing for how long I can take this. My stomach rumble loudly again, increasing the agony I’m in right now. I’m so hungry I feel I’m going to die. It’s ten p.m. and I still haven’t had my breakfast, talk less of lunch and dinner. Nick had brought me some pancakes in the morning but I had refused to come out and he had taken it back to the kitchen. Why didn’t he just leave it at the doorstep? What a jerk!He also brought me lunch, which he had ordered and I also refused that, just because I didn’t want to see his face. Now, here I am, hungry and tired with no way to survive this torture. After about thirty minutes, I decide to sneak out, since, after all, he’s going to work tomorrow, and he’ll probably be asleep now.I creep out of bed, tiptoeing to the door. I open it slightly and slowly so it won’t make much noise. Luckily for me, it isn’t like those doors at my house that are always creaking whene

    CHAPTER 17NICHOLASNicholas walks into his company with a depressed look on his face, as he thinks about all what had happened the day before. He still can’t accept the fact that Cassy doesn’t love him but then he knows he has no choice but to accept it since there is nothing he can do about it. He didn’t even see her this morning before he left for work. She hadn’t come down, and he didn’t go to check on her because he knows she is avoiding him.“Sir, are you okay?” One of his staffs says with concern, as the other staffs also wonder what is wrong with him. He is always jovial and vibrant whenever he comes in for work so they can’t help but wonder why he is down, and looking depressed all of a sudden.“I’m fine, I just had a rough day yesterday and I couldn’t get enough sleep.” He says, and walks into his office. He buries his head in his palm, wondering why Cassy doesn’t love him. He has been trying to do everything in his power to make her happy, so why did she not love him? He is

    CHAPTER 18CASSANDRAI sit by the window side in my bedroom, and see Nicholas’s car drive into the compound. I stare down at him from the window as he parks and then gets down from the car. He doesn’t have his tie on and his clothes look rumpled, and I start to wonder if he got into a fight. I watch him as he drags his brief case out of the car and then staggers before jamming the car door shut, and begins walking slowly, with his head down. I wonder what is wrong with him and why he is being this way, and that’s when the realization hits me. What do you mean ‘what’s wrong with him?’, you are. You put him in this position Cassy. You shadily entered into his perfect beautiful life and then brought your shameful useless life into his, and now look at him. You made him this way so don't you try to act innocent now.I sigh and leave the window to the bed when my phone rings. I move quickly to the bed side table and then pick up my phone, checking the caller ID to see it is Victoria, as e

    CHAPTER 19CASSANDRAOh my God, he is burning up with a fever. I wonder how long he has been like this, and if he is this way because of me. “Nick." I call out his name softly as I drop the pocket knife on the bed absentmindedly, with my hand still touching his forehead that is so hot. Why didn’t he say anything about it? He should have gotten home early and he shouldn't have over worked himself either.“Nick.” I call out again since he still hasn’t replied me. I touch his forehead again before feeling his chest, and shaking him lightly, but he still doesn't wake up. I run out of his room, with the kitchen knife I was going to murder him with, to the kitchen to grab a bowl of water, and a napkin. I drop the knife with the other knives in the kitchen before walking back as quick as I can to his room with the bowl of water and the napkin in my hands, while trying my best to not spill water as I walk up the stairs.I sit by his bed again to see he’s still not awake. I drop the bowl of wa

I’ve been searching everywhere for you but to no avail, Frank also helped me in looking for you, but it just seemed as if you had ceased to exist-”“-I called your line severally but it never went through and I swear I thought you were dead, and now, you just call me in the middle of the night with a new number acting like you didn’t just make us think you were dead. I cried because I couldn’t find you, you know? I even went to your workplace and they said you hadn’t been coming to work. How could you make us worry like that Cassy?”“I’m sorry. I just had to leave town to clear my head and look for more opportunities.” I say weakly.“Sorry? You had to leave town to clear your head? Does that seem like an excuse for making us worry unnecessarily? You could have informed us so we’d be aware of y

    CHAPTER 21NICHOLASHe feels very bad for talking to Cassandra in the way he had spoken to her earlier this morning and the way her eyes glittered with unshed tears made him want to punch the wall till his fists break. He hates the way she makes him fell and he also hates himself for making her feel that way, he really didn't mean any of the things he said to her but he wasn't so sure about her. If she meant everything she said to him or not. She was right about what she had said to him though, he had been a real jerk, and although he loves her so much, if she doesn’t love him back, he shouldn’t get mad at her or try to force her into loving him.He gets down the stairs with his brief case and then as he gets to the first floor, he walks to her door to check how she is faring, and because he wants to check if she’s mad at him for the way he acted last night. He stops in front of her door, taking deep breaths because he is unsure of how she is going to react to seeing him. He chickens

I say but Nick just stares at me, as if debating on whether to reply me or not."That’s... that's okay I guess, but you don't have to do this anymore Cassandra, you don't have to work for me anymore. " He says and I feel a pang in my chest. Is he going to send me out of his house? Is he really over me that quickly?“Wait! Does this mean you’re sending me packing?” I ask hurriedly, fear gripping me at the thought of not being able to see him again, not to mention leaving his house means I’m leaving this world as well, since Victoria will most definitely kill me.“No.” He says plainly and I have a sigh of relief."Please, just let me do this for you… it’s the least I can do… it doesn't mean I am working for you, I just wanted to cook for you.” I say, with a tinge of sadness in my tone."I am not hungry. You can eat without me." He says and then walks past me, leaving me at the front of the door. I shut the door close and turn to his, following him a

I can her how heartbroken he is by the fact that I’m in a Coma. I just want to wake up, kiss and make love to him all night long, but I can’t.Julian and Frank have been coming here a lot to see me, they tell me about how the police has intensified their search on Victoria, and I just hope and pray she doesn’t go near my family, because Coma or not, I’m going to kill her. They also tell me about how their business is booming and how they miss me, and how I should wake up quickly because Nick has not been himself since I went into a coma.

We’ve been here for the past two minutes and I’m tired of waiting for you guys, so you had better hurry your ass up.” I yell into my phone, at Julian.I hear her let out a sigh, and I can feel her rolling her eyes, “We’ll be there very soon Cassy, it’s just two minutes. Chill out.” She says.“Just hurry up.” I frown, hanging up. Nick just looks at me from where he has just finished setting the picnic mat on the ground and has placed the basket on it, and starts to laugh, making my frown deepen, “What are you laughing at mister?”He walks towards me where I am standing with an umbrella over my head, “Well, I’m laugh at how overbearing you’ve become since you got pregnant.” He says, leading me to the picnic mat.The frown on my face disappears, and is replaced by a sad, worried face, with teary eyes, “You don’t love me any less, do you?” I croak, about to cry.It’s been six months since I was told I’m pregnant, so now I’m eight mont

How could they not even bother telling me about their relationship? I mean, they’re my only two friends that I actually talk, and now that they’re in a relationship, they keep it from me. I’m starting to wonder what friendship truly means to these guys, because they clearly don’t get it.I suddenly feel a wave of fatigue wash over, and I start to feel dizzy. I stagger slightly and since I’m standing, I drop to the couch. I’ve been feeling this way since for the past two days now, and I’ve vomited at least seven times since then. Nick said that he’s taking me to the hospital when he gets back from work, and I really don’t want to go, because personally, I hate hospitals.They both rush to me to make sure I’m fine, but I just give them a death glare making them halt in their steps. Much better. Turning to Frank, I say, “As I was saying

    CHAPTER 32CASSANDRAIt’s been a week since Nick proposed to me, but I haven’t had the time to tell Julian, since I’ve been busy at work and she hasn’t been picking her calls, and I couldn’t have gone to see her either since she has been travelling around to different parties and events since it is her Catering company that is in charge of the catering services for them. Yes! Julian is the owner of the biggest catering company in New York. It’s so funny how she went from being a stripper to an inspiration to those who want to also go into catering.After the arrest of Victoria, Nick said he wanted to meet my family and friends, and then I told him Cole was out of the country and my only family was Frank and Julian, and I took him to the club to meet them. After knowing that Julian was a stripper, and the only reason she did it was to get enough more to grow her small time catering business, and he gave her… I don’t really know… I think it was about four million dollars to kick start t

That lady looked like she wanted to strangle me on the spot, and I wear I just wanted to disappear with the way she was looking at me, it was so scary.“Slow down with the questions, babe. How many questions do you want me to answer at once?” He chuckles, his eyes fixed on the road.“As many as you possibly can, so start talking.” I say.“Well, she’s my secretary Laura who has been in love with me way before I met you, and was always showing it.” He pauses, and I nod my head for him to continue, “She got angry at me because I brought you into the company as my P.A, a position she has apparently been eyeing, talked about how I shouldn’t trust you… A

Or I fall to the ground?” She asks him as soon as they her in the elevator, her panic rising.He kisses her on the lips, and she forgets all about her worries. He pulls away, “You won’t say nonsense, and you won’t fall either.”“But what if I do?” She asks, taking deep breaths of air.“If you say nonsense, then I’ll laugh it off, and if you fall, I’ll be there to catch you.” He says, and she relaxes a little.“Thank you love.” She says, regaining her

Someone’s looking good.” I compliment him, as he takes his seat at the dining table, dropping his briefcase on the floor, by his chair.“I always look good.’ He says with a proud look on his face, making me roll my eyes, as I walk into the kitchen to get glass cups for the wine since I forgot about it.“You think you’re such a hot cake, don’t ya?” I say to him, walking back with two glass cups in hands before placing them before him, pouring water into one, and wine into the other.“Of course I am. I mean, look at all this?” He says, gesturing to himself and I just have to laugh, almost spilling wine on the table.“Well, I don’t know what you’re talking about because there’s nothing remarkable about your looks.” I tease him, serving him spaghetti, before adding barbecue on top of it.“Well, I highly doubt that the million girls dying to

I need to tell you.” I say, looking into his eyes with regret in my eyes.“What is it? Don’t tell me you are going to say lady night was a mistake and that you don’t love me all over again because for me last night was the best thing.” He says and I pull him down to my level, kissing his lips to shut him up.“Last night wasn’t a mistake, it will never be a mistake and I still love you, I promise.” I say, and a smile forms on his l
