( Cassie's POV )I don't know what to think of Jordan and his behavior last night but I know of the obvious fact that Jordan can never change, no matter how hard he tries.I wanted to see him from a different angle, imagining he is being like this because of what he must have gone through in the past but as much as I tried, I kept seeing his faults in everything happening.I can't believe he is going back on his words about me dating someone.Why will he date other girls and I am not allowed to date a man too? Does he even know what he is saying? Saying my baby is still little and I should wait till she is five years old sounds silly.I will no longer let him take me for a ride and I will no longer see my mother's fault in all of this. My mother pioneered this but she isn't the reason for what is happening.If my mother had told him she wanted him to marry me, he didn't have to go through with it, he could have declined, everything and everyone will be fine but he didn't because he ne
( Damien's POV )I guess this is what it takes to be a family man, I muse to myself as I watch Jordan's company. I am here early to see him briefly but I am surprised to hear that Jordan isn't in yet. Jordan is a punctual person and I wonder why he isn't at work at half past 8 am already.I want to make my presence in New York known to him, which is why I have come to visit him. After I was told of his absence, I came back to the car and sat waiting for him. If he doesn't show up in the next one hour, I will have no choice but to leave and come back some other day.I came to New York two days ago and I plan to go see my father tomorrow. I know I will see him at home tomorrow being Sunday, he doesn't work on Sundays.I don't know if he will be willing to see me now after months of fighting each other but I am done fighting him.If only I can go to his office instead of going home, I don't want to see his so-called wife, I murmur.But I guess I have to go see how she is and how she is
Jordan's POV"Why didn't you call me? What if he was here to kill me?" I bark at Tristan. I no longer know the essence of having him around me when he isn't doing his work.He was supposed to inform me about Damien's presence in the company. He knew Damien was around but he chose to watch from afar without doing anything.What if Damien had shot me? I will be long dead before the police catch up with him.I am tense about Damien's arrival back in New York.I know he is here now for the worst.He meant what he said to me. I am not scared of facing him man to man but I am damn scared for my family, my mother, and Lily, even Cassie. I don't want to lose any of them."I just thought it wasn't necessary since I didn't see him with any weapon", Tristan tells me."You think he was going to put the weapon on the car so the world will know he is coming here to kill me?Don't be daft", I yell.He didn't say anything and I go back to my seat. I wasn't supposed to say what I said last. Tristan is
Jordan's POVI bumped into a familiar man at the entrance of the hospital. He apologized calmly with a smile before I could say anything.He walked past me and I keep trying to remember where I know him from until I get to the ward where Cassie is. I see Tania in the corridor and she leads me in, taking the package in my hand. She had called to tell me to get food on my way here for Cassie and I went to the nearest restaurant to the hospital.When I get into the ward and see the guilty look on Cassie's face and how she looked away, I figure out who the man is. I remember the picture Tessa gave me and I realize he is the man Cassie kissed In the picture.Why didn't he look like he knows me if he is the one?Could it be that he doesn't know me? If he doesn't know me, then it means he is not aware that Cassie is married.I am sure Cassie asked him to go before I came here from the way she is looking guilty. I want to be angry with her but I know this is not the right time to be angry."
( Jordan's POV )I don't know why I can't hide my emotions.As much as I was trying to hide my irritation when she insisted that I go back to work, I couldn't. I showed her that I was upset and she did not even call me back to apologize.I instructed the maids to let her sleep and take care of my baby before heading back to work. I had the intention of staying with her, till she fall asleep before going to my room to call Chloe to bring me some files home so I can work from home. But since she wants me to go, I will.Tristan gave me information about Evelyn's restaurant. I didn't let him stop from monitoring her movement and what she does. He said the construction has stopped for more than a week now.At first, I was glad because that was how I intended to punish Evelyn but now I am thinking from a different light, as a changed man.I no longer want to be bad, I no longer want to punish her or her daughter anymore. I thought they deserved it but I am wrong. What Cassie said to me las
( Cassie's POV )I stand up from the chair facing my mirror after a satisfying makeup. I look beautiful tonight, I know. I haven't been paying attention to making up and getting dressed ever since I got married to Jordan.I began to dress up when Tony came back to me and whenever I go out to meet him, without Jordan knowing. By the time he is back, my make-up is gone and my clothes off.I feel I need to look good now more than ever. I don't need to be scared of Jordan or what he will say.I don't know what Tony will think if I tell him to wait for me in a particular place while I go meet him there. I know it will sound suspicious and silly so I ask him to come to the mansion.Since he is coming early and I have made a vow not to be scared of Jordan anymore, he can come. I just won't let him come into the house. Once he horns, I will go out which is why I am already ready to go.I am wearing a long-sleeved print round-neck bodycon gown. It is blue and I am wearing silver heels, blue e
( Jordan's POV )I pack my things, close the laptop, and put the important files inside the drawer before locking it.When I am done, I pick up the briefcase and go out."Good night, sir", Chloe greets me."Goodnight, Chloe", I say in response before walking to the elevator.Changing is much easier for me than I expected it will be even though some things are quite difficult for me. I have been worried about Cassie since noon and I am closing early just to go check up on her.By the time I was home yesterday, she was already asleep again and I asked Tania about her health.Tania says she is fine but I still don't feel ok with it.This morning, when I was coming to work, I went into her bedroom to see her sleeping too. I was worried that she was sleeping too much so I went back to Tania and asked her to dish out her food and wake her up to eat.To be honest, I thought maybe something happened to Cassie during the night and I wanted to be rest assured that she is truly fine and alive w
( Cassie's POV )I couldn't summon up the courage to call mother as Tony suggested until this morning. I apologized to her and she said nothing. I tried calling her again to ask if she is home so I can visit her before Tony comes to pick me up but her number wasn't going through.I gave up after a while and spent time with Lily. I fed and bathed her myself before going to get ready for my date. I hope nothing will disrupt my date today, unlike yesterday. I also hope Tony won't ask me anything concerning the apology.I take my time to look good tonight. I put the Lavender dress over my head, after rubbing the lotion on my body and wearing my pants and bra.The dress flowed below my feet and I put on diamond earrings with a matching necklace.I put on light make-up and wear strappy diamond heels. The horn of the car outside notifies me of Tony's presence. He is always right on time. I feel there is no need for a purse, so I pick up my phone only and stroll out.He isn't outside today,
