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
Cassie's POVFeeling guilty is an understatement of what I feel right now. I begin to weep again when I stare at Jordan's lifeless body on the hospital bed with oxygen and different kinds of tubes attached to his face and body.I have been crying and praying for him to wake up so I can tell him I am sorry and he is forgiven. I want him to look at me again.I want him to beg me to listen to him again. I wish I could go back in time to the day he was hit by an unknown car, I would have acted differently. I wouldn't have been so stubborn to listen to him if I had known this would happen.I wish I had listened to him and swallowed my pride by entering his car so he could drive us home. I should have been patient enough for us to be home before speaking back at him and acting childish by racing on the street.Why didn't the car hit me instead? Why does it have to be Jordan who has gone through so much pain already?I thought I had Jordan figured out, I thought I knew him already but I rea
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
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
