Cassandra's eyes narrowed at the speaker, the man at Jim's office. "Claus," Mr. Jake said, his tone neutral. "What seems to be the issue?" Claus stepped forward. "An unfaithful woman isn't capable of handling a good job," Claus declared. Cassandra's face burned. "How dare you!" she protested silently. Mr. Jake raised a hand. "Cassandra. Please, leave." His calm demeanor belied the dismissal. Fuming, Cassandra gathered her belongings. "This isn't over," she whispered to Claus. As she exited, Claus's smirk followed her. Outside, Cassandra seethed. Who was this Claus? Wasn't he just a colleague of Jim's? What was he doing here, alongside the CEO? Questions swirled. Back in the office, Claus turned to Mr. Jake. "Sorry, Jake. I couldn't help it," Claus said. Mr. Jake's expression remained neutral. "Explain, Claus." Claus leaned in. "That woman's trouble. She'll bring ruin to your company." Mr. Jake raised an eyebrow. "Ruin?" Claus nodded. "I have reasons. Trust me." M
Cassandra returned to the guest house, disappointment weighing her down. She had lost a great job she got within a day. She knew she wasn't emotionally ready to work but she had to. As she walked in the manager, intercepted her. "Miss, we need to discuss changes in our pricing. Starting next week, room rates increase by 20%." Cassandra nodded, concern all over her face. She hurried to her room, calculations racing in her mind. She checked her funds. The price hike would cover less than two weeks' accommodation. Food expenses would drain her remaining resources. Panic crept in. A job was no longer a want; it was a necessity. Cassandra slumped onto the bed, her phone beckoned. She dialed Mildred's number. "Mildred, I really need a job." "But you said Crepe marketing gave you a good offer, so?" "I lost it...i lost it Mil. I lost focus." Cassandra replied. "Oh no! But they would have given you more time to see if it's just a day's thing." "You don't understand Mil, data comp
Cassandra stepped out of taxi, her modest gown accentuating her tall frame and petite curves. The soft breeze rustled her dark hair as she smiled, anticipating a lovely visit with her fiancé, Jim. She hadn't seen him all day, and the excitement of their upcoming wedding filled her every waking moment. As she walked toward the office building, she noticed a sleek black sports car parked nearby. The driver, a striking man with piercing blue eyes, watched her. Their gazes met briefly, but Cassandra didn't give it much thought, assuming he was just another employee. She entered the building, passing through the see-through glass door, and approached the receptionist's desk. "Hi, Karen. I'm here to see Jim," Cassandra said, her voice warm and cheerful. Karen, a chubby lady with a round face and curly brown hair, beamed at Cassandra. Her lips mouthed words with exaggerated movement. "Hey, Cass How's the wedding prep going?" Karen asked, her voice dripping with excitement. Cassandra's
Cassandra woke with a start, disoriented, as a heavy knock on the door echoed through her hotel room. Groggily, she sat up, rubbing her eyes. Her eyes widened as she realized it was her wedding day. Panic set in as she threw off the covers only to discover she was naked. Worried,she tried hard to recall the events of the previous night all to no avail. She quickly scrambled for a nightgown."Come in!" she called out as the heavy knock persisted.The door swung open, revealing her sister Mildred, accompanied by a stylist."Good morning, Mrs Heights!" Mildred chimed. "It's your big day!"Cassandra's eyes widened in delight accompanied by an eye to ear grin. The hair stylist began setting up her equipment, oblivious to the tension,whilst Cassandra showered.As Cassandra's hair was styled, she couldn't hide her excitement. "I'm really doing this, Mildred. I'm marrying Jim!"Mildred smiled warmly. "You deserve all the happiness, Cass. Jim is lucky to have you."Cassandra beamed. "I'm luck
The lady removed her hood, revealing a striking face with piercing green eyes. Her identity remained unknown to the stunned crowd.She handed the folder to the minister, who hesitated before accepting it."As you can see," she announced, "Cassandra's infidelity is undeniable."The minister's eyes widened as he scanned the contents. Unclad photos of Cassandra with a masked man in her hotel room bed spread before him. He hastily looked away, his face flushing.Gasps and murmurs erupted throughout the church.Cassandra's eyes widened in horror. "No... this can't be."Mildred rushed to her side. "Cass, what's going on?"Cassandra grasped Mildred's arm. "How... how did this happen?"Tears streamed down Cassandra's face as she collapsed to the ground.Jim's expression transformed from shock to disgust as he gazed at the photos. His mind struggled to reconcile the woman he thought he knew with the one in the pictures.How could Cassandra betray him like this?He recalled their laughter, thei
