( Cassie's POV )"I don't feel like going out, Pam", I complain, coming out of the bathroom in a towel."Come on", she moves over to me and nudges me."It's going to be fun", she beams.She pulls me back to the open closet and begins to search for a dress for me to wear. She sees a low maroon party dress and hauls it out."Here", she gives me. I sigh again before taking it from her.When she called me earlier and heard me crying, she disconnected the call and before I knew it, the doorbell rang.Pamela came in and hugged me tightly. I told her everything, she only consoled me without asking me any questions. Then she brings up the idea of going to a party. I said no but she insisted."Let's get you dressed so we can go have fun with our baby", she grins widely and drops the dress on the bed. I am about to move to the dressing mirror when I remember mom."Is mom still in your house?" I frown. I had tried calling her but her number wasn't going through."I didn't come from home", she in
( Evelyn’s POV )I did not know how long I sat there, with my mouth open, looking into space, but I knew it was long enough for me to get up, pack my things and leave for home.I can't believe my boss is asking me to accompany him to a party. It feels like I won a jackpot. I am excited and at the same time worked up.The way he flushed in the face speaks a lot. Is he attracted to me? Is this just a date? Is something going to happen between us?My eyes fall on the wall clock and I see it is past 7 pm already. I stand up with a smile, contemplating on whether to go knock on his door and tell him I am in or I should just go home and pretend like nothing happened, hoping he won't ask me again.This is the same person that shouted at me on my first day because I arrived late, making me feel like a schoolgirl being scolded by her teacher.This is something I didn't expect and now that it has happened, I still can't believe it isn't happening.You are just to keep his company, my subconscio
( Jordan's POV )Richard won't let me be after bumping into the lady at the entrance. I ignore him and walk into the clubhouse, typing furiously on my phone. I just saw Chloe's message about the appearance of Roland after I left the office.Roland is among the people I have an appointment with today but he didn't show up at the appropriate time. After I met with Madeline, I left the office immediately.Chloe's message must have entered when I was in the bathroom taking a shower but I didn't check my phone till now.I am mad at her for not calling me, I would have canceled the party and gone back to the office. It is late already and I can't go back to the office because I know Roland must have gone. He is one hell of a client.He is a stubborn person and I know he can cancel the deal with just this mistake of mine.This deal means a lot to me and I hope he allows Chloe to fix another appointment for him tomorrow.I am messaging her to tell her to make sure she fixes another appointme
( Damien's POV )Her back hits the wall and she chuckles. I wonder what kind of girl she is. I take her lips without thinking too much of the reason for her laughter. I am trying to torture her before having sex with her but she seems to be enjoying all the things I have been doing to her from the dance floor.I was trying to get her horny so she can crave my touch but she is patient enough for me to want her too. I can no longer take in the sight of her boobs without touching them.I want to have a taste of everything Jordan has tasted.I want to know what it will feel like to be inside her, his woman. I wanted him to see me digging into her as she screams. I want to prove a point to him, a point that I am better than him in all areas, and having sex with Tessa is just the beginning.After telling me her name, she begins to rock her body on mine, forgetting all about her friend who is also enjoying the night in the arms of another man.I came to the party to dance with Tessa and sed
( Evelyn's POV )I didn't meet Cassie at home. I feel it is time to tell her about Jordan since he has plans on coming to see her.I want her to know about what I did before he comes.The excitement I was feeling from work is suddenly replaced with worry. I don't know what Cassie will think of everything, I don't know if she will understand my reasons and I don't know if she will be pleased.I guess I will have to keep the divorce after 6 years of marriage which Jordan told me about to myself for now. I know if I tell Cassie, she will not listen to any more things I have to say. I don't even know if she is going to agree to the marriage yet.I begin to pace the room, thinking of how to present it to her and what she will think and say of it. I haven't figured it out when the door opens and she comes in. She looks pretty in her maroon dress and I wonder what type of party she went to."Evening, mom", she greets and slumps to the sofa, placing her purse on the table."How are you doing
( Damien's POV )I stir in my sleep. Tessa's arm is wrapped around me and her head is on my chest. I had watched her sleep last night immediately after the rough hours of sex.I have never met a woman like Tessa in my entire life, she wasn't exhausted after an hour of sex and she insisted on another round.Tessa rode me like a horse and it pulled me to the edge. I thought I could allow her to take charge but I was wrong. She wanted to but I pulled her down with urgency and thrust into her harder than before.I like her.I blink my sleepy eyes open again and stare at her slightly open mouth. I can feel her naked boobs pressing hard into my chest and I feel myself getting hard again.I want to take her, while sleeping but I want to be considerate. I know if I stay here watching her face and knowing she is naked beneath the sheets, I will definitely have sex with her again and again till the break of dawn.But I have other important things to do. I need to be sure my plan worked well to
( Jordan's POV )I woke up with a banging headache. I groan and flutter my eyes open. The sun seeping into the room makes me shut my eyes back the moment I open it.My eyes hurt. After a while of keeping it shut, I open it again.I see a feminine hand wrapped around my body and I turn to my side to see the girl beside me sleeping soundly. I suddenly remember what happened last night, how I brought the girl from the party to my villa.I sigh heavily and pick up my phone from the stand to see the time. It is past 8 am already. I curse silently and throw the girl's arms away together with my phone before jumping down from the bed.I pick up my phone again to check if there is any message from Chloe but there is none. The girl stirs in her sleep and I realize I don't even know her name.I didn't bother to ask for her name, we only went straight to business.I rush into the bathroom to take a bath, thinking of what excuse to give to Roland. I don't even know if he is coming for an appointm
( Cassie's POV )I didn't know when I slept off while crying last night.It is when I open my eyes to see it is morning already that I realize I didn't wake up throughout the night. I slept like a baby, even though my heart was aching from the revelation of last night. My heart is still aching.I can't believe my father left us. My mom had always told me he was dead. He died in a car accident. Why is she saying something else now? Why did she lie to me all these years, making me feel unfortunate for not getting to meet my father?I can barely remember what he looks like or anything about him other than the fact that I used to have a father figure in my life until he disappeared into thin air and I didn't ask of him until I began to see my mates in school talk about their father and see their fathers coming to pick them up from school.Why did my father leave? What did mother do to him? Will he come back someday? Why does she want me to marry Jordan if it's not because of the money he
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
