Jordan's POVI am tossing in bed with guilt. Pamela said she won't be able to come over tonight but promised to come first thing tomorrow morning. I know she has not been in New York for weeks but Richard informed me that she will be back today. It is past 11 pm already and I can't find sleep.I am greatly troubled. It is as if I am feeling Cassie's pain. It is as if the more her tears, the more I am feeling hurt. I have no idea what is happening to me and why I am feeling this way. I know what I did is wrong but I am not supposed to be feeling this hurt.When I can take it no longer, I stand up and rush to the door. I throw it open before running down to Cassie's room. I don't care what happens, she needs to hear me out and accept my apology.As I get close to the door, I am lucky to see Tania coming out with an unhappy expression, I use this opportunity to enter before Cassie will come to lock the door from behind again.I close the door behind Tania who is surprised to see me. Ca
( Jordan's POV )"Boss?" I feel someone tapping me. I groan and sit up, before opening my eyes to see Natalie. I can't believe I slept here on the sofa. My face becomes red with embarrassment, I am in nothing but shorts."Pamela is inside already", she informs me. The memories of what happened last night came rushing and I feel ashamed of myself again.I want to stand up and go to Cassie's room to see if Pam has convinced her or not so I can call Evelyn to come and also my mother to come and plead on my behalf. I know she will definitely listen to one of them. I also need to call Chloe, I won't go to the office today. I am afraid Cassie will use that opportunity to run away with my child."Boss?" Natalie stops me as I begin to walk towardsCassie's room. She shakes her head. "I think you shouldn't go in now. I just woke you up so you can freshen up and go to work. It's almost 7 am."I don't know why she doesn't want me to go in but I feel there must be a reason."She didn't listen to
Tessa's POVI move swiftly across the road, in my maid's disguise.I am wearing a sexy dress beneath with a long gown that makes me look like a maid. I am using this disguise so the security or his bodyguard can let me in.I parked my car down the street and walked all the way here. When I see his house in view, I heave a sigh of relief. The walk down here isn't too far but I am getting tired already, probably because of the big dress I am wearing to disguise my identity and hide my weapon.I did not tell Zoe I am coming for this. I didn't think about my plan well but I am confident it will work.All I need to do is shoot his brains out and take off. I know Damien will be home by now. I have been monitoring his movement for two days now.I am about to move to the other side where his house is located when I see a big guy dragging someone out.She looks small but I can't see her face. She seems to be begging the big man about something. I stand as if I am a passerby so he won't notice
( Evelyn's POV )I haven't been picking Adams's call since the night we saw Cassie at the restaurant. I feel dejected that my daughter doesn't understand me and is not ready to support me. I only gave Adams a chance but I am ready to let go already. I want to prove a point to Cassie.But he keeps calling. I have been indoors since that day, crying my eyes out and thinking about my life. I have no zeal for anything anymore, even my dream of having a restaurant. I saw Jordan's message but I did not acknowledge it because I didn't feel like it and I wanted him to know that I am not a beggar.I don't even feel like going ahead with the building anymore. I just wish the world would go on without me. I just wish I can have peace. But I am troubled, greatly troubled, and depressed. All I do all day is to drink and sleep. I am tired of living. I wanted to giveup.When Adams' call persisted, I decided to pick and he asked me to come to meet with him somewhere. He said he wants me to meet some
Cassie's POVI can't believe Pamela ditched me. I was about to storm out of the restaurant in anger when Jordan blocks my way. I was tempted to humiliate him as he did to me a few days ago. I was thinking of calling him a manwhore before leaving but I thought otherwise.He has a lot to lose if I embarrass him in public. He is already embarrassed and I realize something; Jordan and I have never been to a place together ever since the marriage, except on the date of my graduation.That was to avoid suspicious and paparazzi from getting a picture of us together, thereby revealing that we are together.But today, Jordan isn't bothered about that. I wonder why.Is Pamela right?I am confused.To avoid any more embarrassment, we sat and ordered dinner. I ate and caught Jordan staring at me.When I raised a brow at him, he apologized and looked away.I don't understand what is happening and why he is behaving strangely today. This strange behavior is scaring the hell out of me.What is Jorda
Cassie's POVA WEEK AFTERI am still here, in Jordan's mansion, with my baby. We have been avoiding each other ever since that night.It seems to me like he is the one avoiding me the most, he sneaks in and out of the house without me knowing.I know I am not supposed to slap Jordan but I felt he deserved it for so many reasons. First, for kissing me and wanting me to believe what Pam said. Second, for all the pains he had caused me and my mother. I believe the slap is nowhere near half of what he has done to us.That night, when I entered the house after slapping him, I got a call from my mother and she was seriously crying over the phone. I went back outside immediately. Jordan was still in his car and he kept asking me where I was going. I didn't answer him.I called my driver out and he drove me to my mother's house. Mother was in a consolable state and I kept asking her what the matter was, she couldn't tell me until she stopped crying. I felt sorry for her and guilty. I totall
Cassie's POVMost times, I think wrong. I am thinking my thoughts are wrong today also until I see the next thing Tony did, after hugging me.He asked me to come to his house and I was thinking he wanted to introduce me to his parents again, after waving off the thoughts of him proposing marriage to me.I was trying to think of a genuine reason why he would invite me to his home. He sent me the address instead of coming to pick me up.I can't believe Tony is kneeling. I am dumbfounded. I can't blink, breathe, or think of anything.I know what is happening but I ask myself if I am ready for this. If I am ready, how do I deal with the secret eating me up? How do I deal with being married to another man and being proposed to by another?How do I deal with explaining things to him and telling him I never had an abortion like I made him believe. If he knows about all of this, will he still be kneeling in front of me and pulling out a box?"Cassie?" He calls and I finally blink. He opens th
Cassie's POVHe is going to kill him, my subconscious screams.I run to Jordan and push him away from Tony whose face is already bruised. He charges towards Tony again who springs up immediately and gives him a blow in the face. I gasp."Stop it, Jordan. Please." I beg in tears.Jordan is still fuming in anger. I don't even want to think of what he is thinking right now and what he is feeling but I know he is acting rashly because he is jealous. I can see it in his face."Don't you dare touch her again? She is my wife. She can't marry you, idiot. She is only for me to touch, you idiot!" He announces and kicks him again.I wish the ground would open right now and swallow me. I never knew Jordan would spill the beans this way. I don't want to look at Tony and see the disappointment on his face but I know I have to help him up.I move close to him and kneel down to help him up, acting like what Jordan said is nothing and has no meaning.Instead of letting me help him, Tony shoves me away
