“It’s good to hear you say that but it hurts to know you don’t trust your mama anymore.” Rhoda chuckled, returning her daughter’s hug. “Don’t be sad, mama,” Lauretta mumbled, pulling away from the hug. “It’s not that I don’t trust you but this was looking so impossible to lay a hand on.” She gestured at the invite. “You know how much I hate keeping my hopes up so I don’t get disappointed but you proved me wrong once more. I’m so proud to have you as my mom.” Lori grinned.“Of course.” Rhoda tried to hide her blush. “It was tough but I did it. I’m not sure an opportunity like this would present itself anytime soon so we need to make the best of this event.” Rhoda said sternly.“Of course, Mom. I won’t disappoint you. I promise.” “But won’t you fill me in on how you were able to lay a hand on the invite? Don Travous’s parties are always a big deal. My friends would be so fucking jealous when I post pictures of the event.”“Of course they’ve got every right to be jealous of you. You ma
Cassie’s POV The next Morning. I moaned in my sleep when I felt a hand fondle with my nipple. The pleasure that came with the gesture was too good to be true for a dream so I instantly knew who was behind it. “Shawn?” With my eyes closed, I whispered his name. “Morning sweets!” He kissed the side of my forehead, still fondling my nipple with his fingers. We were in a spooning position I think.“What are you up to?” I was sleepy but my body was on fire. Hardly had I recovered from what he made me go through last night and now I was faced with this.“You like?” I could feel the desire in his voice. “No,” I mumbled.“Liar!!!” He said, let go of my nipple, pulled my nightie up, above my ass, and started caressing my butt cheeks. That was another part of my body that he loved so much.“You are getting too addicted,” I mumbled, loving the feel of his palm on my ass.“You are my wife.”“You seem to remind me every day.”“Yes, because you are still in denial.” he moved one of my legs fur
Cassie’s POV I tried to search for the right words to say but nothing came out when I parted my lips. “For who?” I mumbled, knowing that I sounded dumb right now. But the truth was that; I was still not comfortable with his nice gestures and I fear that I never will.“Do you like it?” He asked, ignoring my question.“It’s beautiful but I hope it’s not for me.” “You need to get used to this lifestyle,” Shawn mumbled. He took the necklace off the box, tossed the box aside, then walked behind me.“You smell so good.” He whispered and kissed the nape of my neck. I swallowed painfully when I felt him place the jewelry on my neck. He did that easily because my hair was not in the way. It was parked in a bridal style. Shawn slowly twirled me around. “Perfect! You make the jewelry beautiful.” His statement made reality hit me. “Was that why Tina didn’t want me to use my necklace?” “You deserve something timeless so I told her I was going to take care of it.” My husband said, calmly.“B
Cassie’s Pov.I tried to take Shawn’s hands off my waist but he just wouldn’t budge. “We had a deal. You said you wouldn’t be nasty.”“I need to know what’s going on in your head before you begin to accuse me.” He said like someone who had done nothing wrong.“I had no idea why my heart was racing fast. The thought of him doing silly things to me in public scared me. Sadly, I was beginning to anticipate it even though I didn’t want it.‘Shut up! You want his dick so much!’ my subconscious mocked me.“We are going to be at the party. In the midst of reputable people like you said. How in hell would your mind be elsewhere?”“We shall see, honey.” He leaned close and placed a kiss on my forehead. “You don’t have to be nervous. I won’t let you feel pain and neither would I embarrass you.” “Please let’s get out of here,” I mumbled, not trusting myself anymore. Shawn pulled me closer. “Scared?”“We are going to be late,” I grumbled, ignoring the tingling feelings in my stomach.“I’ll be
Cassie’s POV The driver pulled before a tall and exquisite building. He opened the door for Shawn. Shawn got down and then made his way to the other side of the car. He opened the door for me, then stretched out a hand to help me down. I accepted it while thanking him in a low tone. He politely pulled me closer to him, then placed his hand on the small of my back. “Remember, you are not to leave my side, don’t pay attention to anyone who gawks at you, and let me know if you feel uncomfortable or if anyone messes with you.” The possessiveness in Shawn’s voice instantly made me feel secure. Regardless, I was curious to see what an elite’s party entailed. “Ready?” Shawn asked, then took a slow glance at me. From head to toe. “I hope I’m not putting myself in danger for bringing you here in this fit.” “I think you hype me too much. I’m not bothered because I know I am not going to be best dressed. I’m sure every woman in there has been attending parties like this since forever so th
Cassie’s Pov Travous’s voice brought me out of my thoughts. “Pardon my reaction, Cassie. I was shocked because we thought he was never going to settle down. Thank you for making him realize marriage can be such a beautiful thing. And it’s good to meet you.” He stretched out a hand to me and I smiled, returning the shake. “Happy Birthady! And good to meet you too.” “Thank you. You look gorgeous by the way.” He said to me, then turned to Shawn. “Aren’t you a lucky thing?” “Thank you,” I responded with a nervous chuckle, finding it hard to believe a mogul was complimenting me. “I know I am. That’s why I’m not going to let anyone take her away from me.” “I should probably introduce her to Mary,” Travous said, then his eyes went searching the crowd for the person bearing that name. Shawn leaned close to me and stole a kiss from me. My eyes went wide. “We are in the public,” I said looking at his lips for any trace of evidence but there was none.He smiled. “So?” “Be good!” I warned
Lauretta’s Pov The driver pulled up before the venue, came down from the limo, then opened the door for us. My mom got down first, then I followed suit.“You look sad. What is it, my child?” My mom asked me; the worry not leaving her face. “The press. They should be here taking pictures and flooding them on social media. How are my friends going to know that I attended this party in a limo?” I grumbled.“Come on, sweets. We can always take pictures ourselves.” “Yes, I know. But wouldn’t it be honorable if they saw the videos and pictures on the top bloggers’ page? They would be so shocked, especially the ones who doubted me.”“True but you shouldn’t jump to conclusions. I am sure the press are inside. Maybe two or three. You know this is a private party and it was hard to get a pass too. Don Travous probably wants to respect and protect the privacy of his guests.” Rhoda said but I was still not convinced. I already envisioned how today was meant to be. By this time, I was to be po
Cassie’s Pov “This better be your final marriage or you will have me to deal with!” My stepmom, Rhoda, whispered in my ear. One of the registry officials passed by us and Rhoda gave him a forced smile. “Please, Mom,” I whispered with tears in my eyes, fiddling with my fingers.“I am not your mother and don’t you dare let those damn tears fall or I will end you!!! She said with gritted teeth, standing really close to me. “Your miserable late father left us with so much debt and someone has to pay for it! It’s definitely not my daughter so you better wipe those tears off the corner of your eyes and don’t ruin this for me.” Knowing my stepmom was one whose words never failed to come to pass, I brought a finger to my face and wiped the tears that lingered at the corner of my eyes. I had no makeup on so I had nothing to lose. I paired my natural face with a well-known knee-length dress. My fourth time getting married in the same dress.“But I’m innocent. Why should I be punished for my

Cassie’s POV I had no idea why I said that but there it was anyway. “I’m not like them. I know it’s easier said than done but I would love it for you to forget them. They are assholes.” “You belong by my side. Both indoors and outdoors. I have nowhere to hide you.” Shawn’s words touched my heart once more, I resisted the urge to blink my eyes so tears did not roll down my cheeks.Shawn stared at me intently. He noticed my teary eyes too. I huffed, letting out some air, and that made me feel a bit better. “No pressure! There will be more events to attend in the future so you have more time to prepare your mind.” “But unfortunately, you cannot avoid not being seen in public with me. I honestly do not care how people see me. But there are some parts of my life I would love to show off and that includes you.” “Why?” My heart couldn’t stop racing. “You are going to make me inherit enemies.” I added.“Enemies?” I nodded. “When your lovers find out you are off the market.” “You wo
Cassie’s Pov I stared into my husband’s eyes. “Your date.” I had no idea why my heart was beating really fast against my chest. I knew how terrible the previous one ended so I wasn’t sure how to act with this. “Yes.” He answered. “What event and why do you need me there?” I had no idea if my question sounded rude but that was just me being curious.“Don Travous’ birthday dinner.”“He’s a top businessman. A lot of colleagues would be there too and they would be attending with their partners.” “You are sure you want me to come with you?” I asked.“Of course. You are my wife.” “Are you sure?” I stared at Shawn as though he had horns on his head. “You just mentioned that important people are going to be there.”“You are my wife, hence, you are important.” I supported my hand against my head so I could look into his eyes properly. “Aren’t you scared that I might embarrass you?” “How?” Shawn asked. I can’t believe we were naked in the living room, with our clothes scattered on the f
