Jason's POVI hurried out of my company's building shortly after receiving a call that Liam and Cassandra were at my house. They had come to pick Mason up but I wanted to just say my goodbye to him before he would leave.I was very glad that I had called Brian to come over before leaving as Cassandra might have been really annoyed if I had left the child all alone at home.He was sleeping though and judging by the fact that Brian hadn't called, was probably still sleeping. He really didn't need someone watching over him but I had still promised not to ever leave him alone so it was good that I kept my word.I had been hastily carrying out the work I had to do so that I could get back home quickly and was already rounding up when I got informed of their arrival. That was why it didn't take too long for me to finish up such that I was already heading home.I was just getting off my car after arriving home when I heard rappings and turned in the direction of the sound only to see Justin
Cassandra's POVI was very annoyed at Mason's behaviour today, actually not just today but ever since he had that accident. However, what annoyed me most today was Liam's attitude.How could he care so little about what Mason thought? He wasn't listening throughout the period Brian and I were trying to convince him that we had to go and suddenly reacted by dragging Mason off.If Mason had rejected my suggestion for him to talk to Jason on phone, I would have actually done the same but it wasn't the action I was displeased with; it was the reasoning behind it. I knew that Liam was jealous of the fact that Jason had made Mason open up so wanted to get the child away from Jason but still...It was just like I had told him before; understanding the reasoning behind his actions didn't make me feel any better. I still felt just as hurt as I would if I didn't understand his reasoning.I walked to the car after saying goodbye to the children, Brian and Jason and was still far from the spot wh
Jason's POVThe sound of my feet on the ground was all I could hear as I walked to the children's room from my study. They had been playing while I worked but I just got informed that dinner was served so had to pause my work to eat with them. However, the sound I heard on opening the door made me pause in shock.There was such a loud noise in the room and it was just the children talking amongst themselves but gosh, they were screaming and to make it worse, more than one person was talking at a time. It had really been a good decision to have made their room soundproof like Brian advised.I had been restraining them from playing since Justin and Robin's arrival yesterday but let them be after the doctor declared Mason fully recovered this morning. That was probably why they were so active, because they were just getting full freedom."It's time to eat, come out boys," I called out to them after getting over my shock and they immediately turned in my direction."What are we eating?" J
Cassandra's POVLiam continued ignoring me even after Mason and the boys came back home and I decided to stop bothering myself about it, concluding that he would stop eventually.During the same week that the boys returned, we had a meeting at Jason's company and as usual, Liam, Mrs Berkeley and I were in attendance. Eventually, the meeting came to an end and we exchanged handshakes at the end of the meeting.Knowing that Liam was still angry at me because of his jealousy, I deliberately avoided shaking Jason and was already about to leave the room when Jason walked towards me."Hey," he said in a low tone and I smiled back at him politely."Good day.""So I want to pick the kids up today as we haven't seen each other since I returned them home on Tuesday," he informed me."That's fine," I muttered, looking at my wristwatch. "You'll have to leave soon though.""Sure, I will.""Okay, I'll get going now," I replied, noticing Liam's eyes fixed on us at this point so deciding to get away.
Jason's POV"Jason, you did what?" Brian yelled shortly after entering into my house and I sighed heavily."I said, I kissed her, I kissed Cassandra," I repeated."What have you done?" Brian breathed out heavily while I just shrinked in the chair I was sitting on, extremely disappointed in my own self.The past few minutes in which I hurried out of Cassandra's home and called Brian to come over after getting home had passed like a blur. All I could think of was how wrong my action was but what even made me even more scared was the fact that I knew that I felt something, something that was also very wrong of me to feel."So what happened afterwards?" Brian inquired, also looking distressed."She just froze in shock so I hurriedly apologized and left while she was still in shock," I muttered and Brian collapsed onto a chair with a groan."I told you to be careful, didn't I? What have you done instead Jason? That was just plain wrong.""I know, I know that very well and I feel extremely
Cassandra's POV'What just happened, Cassandra? Jason kissed you!' my mind yelled at me with a mixture of shock, guilt and, though I hated to admit it, pleasure running through me which just left me confused.He had apologized immediately and hurried out already so there was nothing I could do except to gawp stupidly at nothing in particular while the disaster that just happened replayed in my head.How had he moved so quickly from consoling me to kissing me? Why did he kiss me? Was it just part of his attempt to console me or did something about seeing me weak appeal to him?The kiss... Jason's kiss was different from any kiss that I've ever received. It set my body on fire even though he was so gentle, way more gentle than I had assumed a man like him would be.I almost attempted to trick myself into thinking that he didn't kiss me and it was just the air or something because of how soft his kiss was. Thinking of how careful he was as if I was a fragile precious stone just made my i
Cassandra's POVI staggered in shock as Liam finally let the bombshell loose and it felt as if my world had come crumbling down. This was it, there was no way Liam wasn't going to end things at this point."Did you really think that you could keep that secret from me?" He asked me."Of course not, Liam! I was going to tell you," I quickly exclaimed.That was very untrue though, I was going to keep what happened a secret from him. It could get out by some other means but I certainly wasn't going to spew that out of my mouth. I couldn't even imagine doing it."When?" He fired back and I stammered for a bit before running to hold his hands."You have to believe me, Liam. It wasn't my fault, I didn't plan for that at all," I pleaded, squeezing his hands but he didn't even make any motion showing that he noticed my touch."Are you sure about that? Because I was seriously thinking that kissing him was all part of your plan?""I didn't kiss him, he was the one who kissed me," I explained to
Liam's POVNumb. That was how I felt when I walked into the sitting room only to see Jason's lips on Cassandra's.I had been in my room after the argument with Cassandra when I heard the kids come into the house. I was going to come out when I realized that they were with Jason, a person I did not want to see at that moment so stayed back in.However, after the decision, I began feeling restless as I lay on the bed so decided to get up and just go out briefly at least for the boys to see my face. But on coming out, that was what I was faced with: Jason swooping down to kiss Cassandra.She was obviously in shock so I couldn't even get angry at her and I had been expecting Jason to do something stupid all along so it wasn't shocking enough to produce an outburst.I just slipped back into the room almost immediately my eyes saw him kiss her, not even feeling the desire to challenge them on what they had just done. It wasn't even like I could confront them even if I wanted to; the childre
