I step out of my car and my face lights up as I spot him waiting by his car, arms crossed and leaning against it. The sight of him instantly fills me with joy.

His attire exudes sophistication, with black pants and a sleek black dress shirt, its elbow sleeves rolled up effortlessly. He looks impeccably groomed and undeniably attractive.

In contrast, I'm sporting a body-con dress, accentuated by a stylish blazer. It's a bold and slightly sexy choice, but I feel confident wearing it. Fortunately, there's no strict dress code at work, allowing everyone to express their personal style, except, of course, for swimwear.

As I approach him, he envelops his hand around my waist, a gesture that always makes me feel secure and protected.

"How about we catch a movie before dinner?" I suggest, as he guides me into the mall.

"Are you no longer interested in going shopping?" he asks curiously.

Initially, our plan was to go shopping, as I wanted to find a present for Rious. However, I've decided

    I was left utterly astonished when my car suddenly came to a halt while I was in route to the restaurant. Despite my best efforts to get it moving again, it barely budged. Stepping out of the vehicle to investigate the cause of this unfortunate incident, I was met with an alarming sight. Every single tire had been punctured! I couldn't believe my eyes, wondering what on earth could have caused such extensive damage. Fortunately, I had parked on the side of the road, ensuring that I didn't obstruct traffic flow in the middle of the street. I was determined not to inconvenience others with my predicament. As a car honked behind me, I swiftly signaled for them to switch lanes, offering an apologetic gesture to express my apologies. Glancing at my wristwatch, I was taken aback to realize that I was already 10 minutes late. I had hurriedly left early to avoid any delay, and yet, fate had dealt me this blow. Stranded in the middle of the road with only one spare tire, which wasn't nearl

    "Look into the camera, boys, and give us your best smile!" With a swift click of the shutter button, I captured the moment twice over. Later on, I decided to join in and become part of the picture too. As we entered the amusement park, a world of excitement awaited us. We eagerly hopped on every thrilling ride, from the exhilarating Anchor's Away to the wild Jungle Log Jam and the adventurous Rio Grande. Laughter filled the air as we braved the water rides, ending up thoroughly soaked. To commemorate the occasion, we purchased matching family t-shirts and shoes. Previously, I had been dressed in jeans and a blouse, but now we all proudly sported identical blue t-shirts adorned with the words 'mommy,' 'daddy,' and 'baby' on the back. Having enjoyed a delightful lunch earlier, our amusement park experience only got better. In addition to the rides, we tried our hand at various skill games, and I found myself particularly enthralled by the dart game, with its tempting prizes of fluffy

    "Mrs. Flor, has someone broken into my room? The heirloom ring and necklace that Grandma gave me have gone missing!" I exclaimed, my worry evident in my voice. "What? Nobody is allowed to enter your room, hija. It's off-limits to everyone," Mrs. Flor replied firmly. I let out a frustrated sigh and paced anxiously around the kitchen. "But the heirlooms are missing! They're not just any ordinary necklace and ring. They hold immense sentimental value and have a significant monetary worth. I can't bear the thought of losing them." What am I supposed to do now? They are valuable family treasures that mustn't be lost or misplaced. Should I contact the authorities? Is it possible that someone stole them? But that seems impossible! They were secured in a vault with a password that only I know. Moreover, the vault is fingerprint protected, making it difficult to open. Restless and unsure of what steps to take, I slumped down on the sofa in the living room, feeling utterly defeated. Mrs.

    "Excuse me, ma'am, but the president requests your presence in his office." I hadn't even stepped foot into my office yet, and that was the first thing to greet me. I let out a weary sigh. I had been looking forward to this day, especially since I missed my date on Friday. I also deliberately ignored my father's calls, knowing that he would scold me for what happened. I left the house last night, fully aware that he would show up. I dropped my bag and made my way to the president's floor. My father's secretary stood up immediately upon seeing me. "Who's inside?" I asked before she could say anything. "Your father and sister. They've been waiting for you for a while," she replied. I greeted her with a smile as I entered the office. It felt like seeing Veronica for the first time all over again. This time, I knew her, and I wouldn't be caught off guard. Veronica was sitting on the sofa, engrossed in a magazine. She dropped it when she noticed me. My father glanced up from the pape

    "I can't believe what I'm hearing," I exclaimed, my disbelief evident in my voice. "I assure you, I'm not joking," he replied calmly. "Your father genuinely stated that I must earn your affection before I can ask for your hand in marriage. So, Bella, do you have feelings for me?" Before I could respond, the waiter arrived with our food. I remained silent as the waiter placed the dishes on the table. "Enjoy your dinner date, ma'am, sir," the waiter said with a bow before leaving us. "Did my dad really say that? It seems odd. I expected him to pressure me into liking you, rather than waiting for it to happen naturally." "I believe your father was deeply concerned about you, Bella. Otherwise, why would he reject my marriage proposal?" he explained. "He might be using reverse psychology to hide his true feelings for you. Even if he genuinely likes you for who you are, he might refuse to acknowledge it because he doesn't want to appear vulnerable," I pondered. Despite knowing my dad w

    I was just about to leave the comfort room when I was unexpectedly stopped in my tracks. My eyes were drawn to the necklace she was wearing, and I couldn't help but speak up, my tone laced with anger, "Veronica, seriously? You took my necklace?!"Before I could react further, she retorted, "Slow down on the accusations, Kassandra. Who said this necklace is yours? You're not the only granddaughter of our grandmother. I am too. I believe I have a right to it."Her words irritated me, and though I knew we were both granddaughters, we had yet to confirm if we were legitimate sisters.Frustrated, I asked, "How did you manage to open my safe?""Ask our father about that, Kassandra. Please, let's not be constantly at odds. We're sisters after all. We don't have to fight every time we see each other," she said, trying to ease the tension.I couldn't hide my disdain for her as I glared at Veronica. It seemed like getting along with her was an impossible task."Don't pretend to be the nicest per

    "YES, I GAVE HER THE heirloom. It's rightfully hers. I didn't mention it to you because you never come home.""But Dad! You could have at least told me. We work in the same company," I added, trying to convey my disappointment."It slipped my mind. Anyway, I heard that you and the young man I introduced you to have come to an agreement?" he asked, prompting an eye roll from me."Well, he's okay. But it's not your decision whether I marry him or not!" I said firmly, brushing my hair upwards in frustration.Just then, the door to my room swung open, and Rious, entered with a book in his hand."Mommy, let's read this!" he exclaimed, and my eyes widened in surprise."Who's that?!" Dad asked, I was caught off guard by my father's sudden intrusion."Ahm, Dad. I'll talk to you again tomorrow," I quickly hung up the call before my father could ask any more questions. Clutching my chest, I tried to steady my nerves.It wasn't the right time for my father to know everything. He couldn't know th

    "You're not coming home with us, mommy?" Rious asked with a hint of disappointment in his voice."I'm not, my dear. Maybe next time. I need to go back to our house," I replied, gently caressing his hair to reassure him."The house with your daddy too?" he inquired innocently."Yes, sweetheart," I confirmed, my gaze briefly meeting Karious. We were in the car now, heading back home after our trip. I felt a sense of urgency as I knew I would only be home for a few days to collect a sample from Veronica. My frustration was mounting as I realized how difficult it was to get this problem done. It felt as though all my efforts were being blocked, leading to dead-ends, just like with Yasmin's case. This is why I sought help from a private investigator to expedite the search for Yasmin.The car eventually stopped in front of our gate, and I bid Rious goodbye as he slept peacefully through the flight."Message me when you get home, okay?" I requested Karious as I unbuckled my seatbelt."Yes. W

    During the months that I hadn't seen Kassandra, I felt like I was slowly losing my sanity. All the fear I experienced when I learned about the accident she had faced had me on edge. Not finding her body in the burning car gave me a glimmer of hope that she might still be alive. Veronica revealed that the woman in the car was her. She pretended to be Kassandra. This was one of the reasons we hesitated to expose her deception, as we suspected she might be holding Kassandra captive. However, as I tracked and observed her, I realized that even she was searching for Kassandra. I hadn't thought her to be that cunning. She had succeeded in tarnishing Kassandra's reputation, and when the truth came out that she had done nothing, she stole Kassandra's identity. I informed Kassandra's father that the girl we had been with was an impostor. To my surprise, he was already aware because Kassandra had left behind the results of a DNA test and some evidence in his office. Together, we devised a pl

    Zackarious "Where is she now?" I asked over the phone. "I found her entering a bar, sir. She's now on the dance floor, dancing," said my investigator. My jaw dropped when I heard it. And finally! my ex-wife, Veronica, also showed up. I've been searching for her for weeks now because I intend to make her pay for what she did to our son. Stealing money from my company? I can forgive that, but harming my child? I can't overlook that. She cheated on me several times and left us for another man. I admit that I was preoccupied with work, but I made every effort to cater to all her desires. I can't believe she would betray me like this. I married her when I learned that I had impregnated her. I've had past relationships with women, and accidentally impregnating someone is something I cannot turn my back. So, even though I didn't have strong feelings for Veronica, I married her. We were together for years, and even though our family wasn't perfect, I made sure that we stayed together and

    This is the last chapter of the story. The next chapter would be special chapters under Zackarious point of view....I woke up lying in a hospital bed, the world slowly coming back into my senses. The voices of people talking around me filled the room."I want that woman and all her accomplices to rot in hell!""They definitely will, sir. The case filed against them is layer by layer. We also have lots of evidence, so we can definitely win the case."I gradually opened my eyes, greeted by the sight of a white ceiling. The voices drew closer."She's awake!" someone exclaimed. Footsteps approached, and soon after, I saw my dad being pushed in a wheelchair by a nurse. Tears welled up in his eyes as he tightly held my hand."My child, I’m sorry! It's my fault why this happened to you. If only I had listened to you from the beginning, you wouldn't have suffered like this!" he cried.A smile broke across my face, though my eyes brimmed with tears. I hadn't seen my father in a long time, an

    WARNING: This chapter contains violence not suitable for young readers. This is a work of fiction but still, you may find the scenes distressing enough so I highly encourage everyone to stop reading if underage. Thank you.I tightly shut my eyes, tears streaming down my cheeks. The regrets of yesterday flooded my mind. There were moments when I had complained about the life I lived, not realizing that someone like Veronica had been working tirelessly to take my place. Memories of my mother's final moments rushed back to me. She had expressed her happiness at my birth, despite being abandoned by those she thought would protect her. She had told me that I was her only treasure, her one hope in a world that seemed determined to see her fail.I could barely recall her voice, but her scent and her warm embrace were etched deep within my memory. Though our time together had been short and devoid of many happy moments, I knew she had always been by my side, silently guiding me. I had harbore

    "You know how fortunate you are, Kassandra, because you have parents. Everything you desire is handed to you on a silver platter. You've never had to wander the streets, yearning that you should have never been born. You know what's ironic? I even liked your father, despite knowing that his promises to hand me the company were empty threats for you. I knew he was just trying to intimidate you. I suspect he's aware that I'm not truly his daughter. But you know what made me happy? He accepted me, even though he knew I wasn't his daughter. But what have you done, Kassandra? You've only hurt your father, rebelled against him. If you talk back to him, it's as if he's not your parent. You should be in my shoes, because you don't deserve all the privileges you have," Veronica sneered.I shot her a venomous glare."And you know what? When he found out I had an accident and supposedly died? He hardly seemed to care. He even appeared to breathe a sigh of relief because, instead of you, it was m

    Instead of heading straight to Dad's place, I made my way back to my condominium. I stood in dumbfounded silence, staring at my own reflection in the elevator. I knew what lay ahead if I followed Veronica's wants. No matter how many times such choices were presented to me, my resolve to obey for Rious' safety remained unshaken. He was the most important, and I cared little for what Veronica might inflict upon me. I just wanted Rious to be safe.Acting swiftly, I changed into pants so I could move more easily to escape, packed essential items into a small backpack, and tried to come up with a plan, although my nervousness about Veronica's intentions enter me. Regardless, I had to go through with it. If it was true that she could predict my actions, I had to catch her off guard.I stashed money, knives, water, and crackers in my bag. There was still ample time until the scheduled meeting, so I had time to strategize how to be ahead of Veronica.She claimed to know when I reported anythi

    I woke up the next day and I found myself alone in bed. I was naked when I peeked under the blanket. I couldn’t see Karious in the room. He doesn’t seem to be in the bathroom either because I don’t hear any noise from there.I stood up and quickly entered the bathroom to take a shower. I smiled as I observed several red marks that were scattered in different parts of my body. I feel sore but satisfied. I also feel glowing. I just woke up, but my face and hair seem healthy. I bit my lip as I remembered what happened last night.That was actually the best! I came so many times I lost count! I would love to do it again this morning if I ever found Karious lying beside me but unfortunately, I woke up alone. I wonder where Karious is now.I hurriedly entered the shower, aware that I had lost track of time lost in reverie about the previous night's escapades. As I stepped into the walk-in closet, my expectations were already set: I wouldn't find any of my clothes. To my astonishment, howeve

    As we stepped into the elevator of Karious' condo building, an irresistible urge took hold of us, and we found ourselves unable to resist the pull of each other's lips. We descended to the parking lot, our hands still intertwined. A tangible symbol of anticipation filled the air. Thoughts of what awaited us in his condo stirred a mixture of excitement and nervousness within me. This was the first time our relationship would progress to such an intimate level without the influence of alcohol and I'm gonna make sure that I will not forget this tomorrow. As we walked hand in hand, lost in each other's presence, we barely registered the curious glances and hushed whispers of the employees around us. They can’t do anything anyway but watch. They can’t oppose us either because it’s our life. I doubt that they have any idea what is happening. When we reached our car, it was a good thing that Karious drove because if we had a driver, we might have done something inside. I might go home with

    I halted just before entering the office, and there stood Karious, leaning against my desk. I had intended to greet him with a smile, but the intensity of his gaze made it seem as though he wanted to tear me apart from where I stood.He swiftly approached me making my eyes widened, and I instinctively backed up until my back was against the office door."W-what?" I stammered as he came to a stop right in front of me. He was so close that I nearly stumbled, pressing against the door."How long do you plan to hide from me?" His voice was tense as he asked. Nervousness gripped me."What do you mean, Sir Karious?" I inquired, my voice quivering.I don’t say much about my plan. If this was about my true identity, I suspected he might already have a notion that I was Kassandra, so I wasn't sure what he meant by hiding."If you needed help, you should have sought me out," he stated calmly."I need you. That's why I'm here with you," I responded softly, my gaze locked on him.He averted his e
