( 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
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
