( Jordan’s POV)The elevator dinged open and I stepped out, my secretary trailing behind me. My phone had been glued to my ear and my mouth was moving as I spoke to a client. As the CEO of Salespush Textile Ltd and one of the youngest billionaires in America, I own chains of businesses all over New York, New Jersey, Las Vegas, and even in China. I was the only heir to my father who was also a billionaire."We will meet next week, Mr. Alexander. I'll ask my secretary to book the appointment," I finalized as I continued walking towards my office."Alright, thank you," I uttered and disconnected the call,, after hearing what the person on the other side said to me. It was only 11 am and I had already attended two business meetings one within the company and the other outside.I just returned to my office with my secretary, Chloe, whose hands were filled with files. She didn't look happy because of the loads of work she had to do before the close of the day."Get the work done and bring
( Cassie POV)" Will you be my date tonight, Cassie?" Tony asked me. I blinked at him, several thoughts running through my mind. I was still trying to get over my ex-boyfriend. I didn't wish to see him since he broke up with me and I hadn't seen him since. But then, I wished to see him, even if it was just once, so I could ask him for a genuine reason for breaking up with me.I gave him my heart, body, and soul. I loved him wholeheartedly, but all he did was break my heart into shreds. I was still trying to pick up the pieces of my broken heart and trying to fix them back in their position. hoping that one day, it would heal.Hearing Tony ask me out on a date was bringing back the pain. It had been three months since Cameron broke up with me, but it still felt like a day since it happened because the hurt was still fresh in my heart.I didn't know what to say to Tony. I didn't want him to get the wrong idea of me. He had asked me to be his girlfriend, but I rejected him. If I accepted
(Cassie’s POV)"Cassie," my mother yelled at me the moment we entered the house. Pamela had dropped us off at home after the silence that had ensued immediately after the doctor announced the news. The silence lingered until we got home.I bit my lower lip in silence, filled with regrets. I didn't know what to say to my mother. How could I have been pregnant for three months without even knowing? I asked myself. I knew my mother was highly disappointed in me."Aren't you going to answer me, you loose girl?" my mother asked."Mom, I'm not loose," I retorted in anger. "Why the hell are you calling me a loose girl when you don't even know how I got pregnant?""Then talk. Your silence is killing me. How will you cope with this shit and your academics? Is this how I raised you up? Why the hell do you like tormenting me?""Mom...""Don't call me. Just tell me who the hell pumped his seed into you, you naive girl."I sighed. I didn't even know what to tell her. How could I tell my mom I didn
(Cassie’s POV)She woke up with a start, realizing she had overslept for her 8:00 am class. With a sense of urgency, she rushed to take a quick shower, but time wasn’t on her side. She thrown on the first piece of clothing her hand had come across in her closet and headed out, hoping to catch a cab on time.As she walked out of her room, something caught her eye. A tray of food had been placed right outside her door. A Beautiful surprise from her mother, who she was still a bit angry with. She took the tray to the kitchen and tried to shake off the feeling of resentment.In the living room, she found her mother whispering to Pamela, and their conversation had abruptly ended when they noticed her presence. She wondered what they were talking about, but before she could ask, Pamela quickly ushered her out of the house."What's with you and your mother?" Pamela asked as they got into the car."I don't want to talk about it," she replied, feeling a pang of guilt for being distant w
( Tessa’s POV)Sex with Jordan had always been amazing, I couldn't get enough of him. It had been a week since we had sex in his office, and I had been anticipating more of that office romance. I grinned to myself as I drove into the company, with my plans to make Jordan mine forever. This was my dream.I was dressed in a brown straight skirt with a white blouse. My stiletto heels were black, and my handbag was light brown, matching my skirt. I walked in elegantly after parking my car in the driveway. I knew Jordan would be in; he was a workaholic.The night Jordan and I met, we didn't know each other, but he looked familiar to me. I took a picture of his handsome face while he was sleeping before leaving for home the next day after a long night of sex.My mom saw his picture on my phone, and she recognized him. His father and my father used to be business partners, and I knew that would work in my favor. Jordan didn't know this, and I was not willing to let him know until the time wa
( Jordan’s POV)I watched the drama between my father and Tessa.How did they know each other? Was I banging one of my father's sluts? I asked myself.Tessa barely looked him in the face, seeming to have a lot of regard for him, and I was curious to know what was between them.I had been looking for ways to get rid of her, and getting to know her relationship with my father might make it easier, I thought to myself."A fine girl you've got yourself. I never knew you'd started dating again," Father said as he took a seat after Tessa left the office.I kept a straight face, wondering why he was here. He didn't visit me, and I didn't pick up his calls. The last time we saw each other was a year ago."Why are you here, Dad?" I asked, my tone sharp and biting.He looked at me with a mixture of surprise and annoyance. "Can't a father visit his son without a reason?" he asked, his voice tinged with irritation."How did you know Tessa?" I asked again."Oh, Tessa is my friend's daughter. I n
( Cassies’s POV)I got dressed ready for school and remembered the conversation I had with my mom the day before. Even though I wasn't okay with her suggestions, I had to do it. She was my mother and was struggling to make ends meet.I wore ripped blue jeans, a white shirt, a brown duster jacket with grey sneakers. I looked in the mirror to check out my face and appearance after dressing up. I needed to apply a little make-up to my face before going out of my room. I bade my mom goodbye and got out of the house to flag down a cab.I was lucky to get a cab on time. A few minutes later, the cab pulled over in front of the campus. I alighted from the cab, paid, and walked in. I had the intention of talking to Pamela that day. I was ready to talk to her about the pregnancy and my decision.Pamela was a good friend indeed, and she understood my silence. She didn't pressure me to tell her things that I didn't feel like telling her like my mom would do. Whenever I didn't feel like talking, s
( Cassie’s POV )I am relieved the words are out, so I released a deep breath. I didn't even realize I had been holding in my breath. Pam is silent much to my surprise.I am thinking she will exclaim, "what the hell!" or ask if I am stupid to think of such. But she isn't saying anything.I opened my eyes slowly and turn to look at her. She is just watching me, with her face devoid of expression. I don't know what she is thinking and if she is in support. I leaned my head down, waiting for something to come out of her mouth. Pamela has always been the mature one between us and I always run to her for advice. She is next in line to my mom and I love her."You want to abort the baby?" She demanded."Yes", I answer sharply."Why" Her voice is lowI shrugged. "Mom and I talked last night and we........"And she asked you to go for an abortion?" I can sense the disbelief in her tone.Pamela knows me well and she knows I can never think of such things if someone hadn't put the idea into my h
Cassie's POV"Tessa Rodrigue has been sentenced to life imprisonment for the kidnap of the Billionaire's daughter, Lily Elizabeth Alvarez", the reporter states, and I heave a deep sigh. I feel a touch and I know instantly that it is Jordan."What are you thinking about?" He asks me after pecking my lips. He pulls me closer and puts off the television with the control. I am sitting in between his legs with his back on the headboard."Nothing", I whisper. I have just finished taking a bath and Jordan is also coming out of the bathroom.We have plans of going on a tour today. We are on a vacation to Paris and we are going to begin our tour today.We have been indoors for two days now, doing nothing other than playing games, cuddling in each other's arms, and having sex. Sex with Jordan is amazing and I love every moment of it. I love my life now and I am hoping it will last forever."Are you sure?" He bites my earlobe softly, with his hands on my chest."Jordan?" I take his hands off and
Jordan's POVMy family is complete now and my joy knows no bounds. It is as if the kidnap never happened.Sometimes, I feel like spending the whole day watching Lily play, sleep or giggle, but I can't do that all day.I realize Lily only has my eyes but she has a striking resemblance with her mother.Cassie and I had gone out this morning to visit Tony and I wanted Lily and her nanny to come with us but Cassie protested. Tony was surprised to see us but he invited us in anyway. I have no idea why I followed Cassie until I got there. Tony was truly hurt and I realized a man like that can do anything.I apologized to him for my behavior the other day and explained things to Tony. I didn't want him to see Cassie as a bad woman so I told him I was the one who gave her the right to date other men while we were married. It was after she began to go out with him that it dawned on me that I might lose Cassie to him and I didn't want it because I loved her and I had refused to admit it to mys
A WEEK AFTERTessa's POVI would never have hurt Jordan's baby, I wasn't that cruel. Besides, the baby had an innocent look and I would never have hurt her because of what her father had done to me.I did what I did so I could get Jordan's attention and I can finally use the opportunity to have him to myself and probably lie that my pregnancy is his. I never knew this is where it would land me. I never knew I would be considered a criminal.I kept telling them that I am pregnant but no one seems to be listening to my lamentations. I know my father won't help me, he is mad at me and I am sure he has already disowned me by now. I don't know who I am pregnant for and I tried guessing if it is for Damien, William, or Trevor, or even the guy I had sex with at the party.One of my boys betrayed me and brought them to the house where I hid them. I had no other options left so hosting them in the mansion was the only way out, so as not to incur the wrath of my father when he came back home an
Jordan's POV"Shit!" I hit the car bonnet in frustration.This is a dead-end. I can't believe my baby won't be found. We traced the car as Tristan suggested but we found it in a bushy area with no one inside. The tracking device is still on the van which shows that they didn't take note of it. They must have decided to change their vehicle on instinct."Shit!" I curse again. I feel like crying right now. I can't imagine life without Lily. I won't forgive myself if anything happens to her.These two innocent people that were kidnapped are suffering for my mistakes. I believe this is my mistake. If I had done the right thing for Lisa by reporting Damien to the authorities, maybe he wouldn't have the guts to be doing this and seeing me as his enemy."Jordan?" Tristan holds me, as I hit the car again, more aggressively. I didn't know when tears begin to spill down my face until I begin to feel the wetness."Let me be", I struggle out of his hold."Let's go, I have a feeling.....", he trai
Jordan's POV"I'm going with you, Jordan", Cassie pulls my hand as Tristan and I get to the pavement. She kneels, begging me."No, Cassie. You need to stay here and wait for us to be back", I peck her forehead."No, I want to go with you to see my baby", she begins to cry again and I sigh. "I don't want them to kill my baby.""Cassie........"I want to come with you so I can beg them to let my baby go. Please, Jordan", she sobs.I turn to face Tristan and he shakes his head."I promise we will be back soon", I kiss her lips and release her hand from mine before walking towards the car with Tristan, ignoring her cries. Natalie comes out immediately and helps her back inside with the help of Jodie."The presence of Tessa at your accident spot will ease everything, she is a suspect" Tristan informs me as we enter the car.Tristan is of the opinion that we take all the people I know can do such a thing as a suspect and not just one person. I feel Damien is capable and responsible and his
Jordan's POV"My baby!", Cassie shouts as I enter the house. She runs out of the car before I can even park the car well in the driveway.I run after her and barge into the house. I just hope she won't hurt herself. I wonder where Tristan was when it happened.Who could it be? Is it Damien?Iknow Damien isn't the only enemy I have. He isn't the only person I am holding grudges against. Apart from Damien, Tessa is there also and my father. I remember Tony and I wonder if he is capable of doing this to get back at Cassie for deceiving him.By the time I enter, Cassie is already on the floor in the living room. We shouldn't have spent a week at my villa, we planned to spend just three days, if we had come back on time, maybe this wouldn't have happened."How did it happen, Natalie?" I ask her with my hands on my waist."I heard gunshots in the early hours of this morning and came out to check if all the doors are closed when I saw two men dragging Tania out with the baby. They had her m
Jordan's POVI have never had sex in the bathroom with any girl, not even Paige. I believe I am always in a hurry to have it done with the other girls I have had a nightstand with.I had sex with Cassie in the bathroom and it was amazing. I love her every fucking moment and every time we make love.We are going back to the mansion today. I wanted to make coming here special so I decided that we should spend a week here, enjoying the blissful moment of our reconciliation and my recuperation. I am as strong as a horse now and even though the bandage is still on my head. The doctor asked me to come to take it off tomorrow.I can begin work fully starting tomorrow. I miss my baby Lily and I can't wait to see her again.I am going to plan our vacation before the month ends. I want Cassie and I to re-pronounce our vows and have a real honeymoon. What we did here is just a mini-honeymoon, I want us to have a great one that she will never forget. I want everything to be special for her and ma
Jordan's POVThis is all my fault, I pushed her into the arms of another man. I rejected what she was offering me, her heart and she went in search of someone who would take it gladly. I didn't realize the kind of pure heart Cassie has until now, I didn't realize the kind of woman she is until now.Despite her broken heart, she kept pushing to gain entrance into my heart but I kept shoving her back, making her feel rejected and unwanted. This is all my fault but I don't know if I can survive losing her.She is the reason I survived this accident in the first place. I remember the man that pushed me, he kept telling me to go back to Cassie.I know I am a bad person, if only I am good, I would have told Cassie to go back to Tony and accept his proposal so they can be happy together but I am not good. I am selfish and I want to be selfish till the end, I can't let her go.I pull her to me in an embrace. "It's ok. Everything is ok and fine.""He broke up with me already, we are done, she
Jordan's POVLily brought back my memories before I even remembered who I was.I was able to figure out that the lady beside me is my wife. She had collapsed after I asked her who she was and her long face broke into a smile the moment I called Lily.The moment I called Lily her name, everything came back. I remembered everything, work, my problems, my mother, and my relationship with Cassie.Our relationship is kind of unique and different from other people's relationship. There was no courtship, no dating, no love before marriage, and no hope for the future of our marriage, we just ventured into it, to get what we want and when it is time to leave, we will get divorced and that will be the end of our relationship.I would call our relationship backward love because of how it started. We started by making a baby, getting married, and falling in love, instead of falling in love, getting married, and making babies.I remember everything now, as well as what and how the accident happene
