Liam's POVIt had been a while since I came to this restaurant to see the Cassandra lady. Work had me terribly occupied and left me with little time to myself, not to mention coming here to scout a new worker.I had come here once or twice after meeting her though only to find out that she wasn't on duty as at when I came. Meeting up with her was already a problem and I was sure getting her to talk to me would be another great challenge that I was going to have to surmount.Today however, once I arrived, I walked to the counter where one of her colleagues sat taking payment for different orders and mixing drinks wanting to confirm if she was available before I would think about how to talk to her."Umm... Hey," I began and he looked up at me."Good day, sir. Would you like a drink?" He replied."Actually no, I was just wondering about... Cassandra, a waitress who works here. Is she around right now?""Oh yes, do you both have any business together?""Not exactly," I muttered and he fr
Cassandra's POV'Oh no!' I thought within myself as the security officers were ordered by that bastard to arrest Mr Bradwick.They obviously recognized the man as someone who was influential and our security officers were very likely to always take the side of whoever had the most social power.Would Mr Bradwick get into trouble for defending me? Oh no, why did he have to intervene in this matter?"No actually, it is all my fault," I shouted and the officers became confused."Yes, it's also her fault, arrest her too!" The man shouted madly and I frowned.That was not going as planned except that the security officers were actually confused. Even if they wanted to be ass-kissers, they still had to handle everything in a way that would not put them in trouble with the boss when he returned."Why don't you arrest me indeed?" I heard Mr Bradwick challenge and at that point, my gratitude turned into annoyance.Why couldn't he just shut up? He had already done enough and we would both be in
Cassandra's POVI was almost dying due to anxiety as I waited for my boss to answer the customer who was determined to ruin my life in one way or the other."My answer is no," My boss suddenly declared and I could see the customer's gloating expression suddenly fade away.The knot in my chest also suddenly loosened on hearing him say that I wouldn't be fired. I was so relieved because I was actually genuinely scared that he would let me go since I had been causing trouble to him."What do you mean by no?""I will not fire a diligent worker just because one customer demanded for it," my boss expatiated."So now I am a customer that doesn't matter enough? Is that what you're saying?""What I am saying is that every single person who walks into this restaurant, both the workers and the customers, each one of them, matters."A few cheers suddenly erupted in the restaurant at my boss's declaration coming mostly from the customers and I was relieved that there were still people with a brain
Cassandra's POVFor a moment, my brain and mouth were placed on pause as Mr Bradwick turned around. Now that I didn't think that he was a scammer and regarded him as a rich customer, it was suddenly difficult to talk to him. Was it because of the impression I had gained about rich people in the restaurant?It wasn't like I was all cozy with him before but I certainly wasn't uneasy around him and considering what I was going to say carefully."I guess you've been told who I am," he voiced out, breaking into my thoughts."Not exactly, but I've been told a little bit," I admitted."So now you want to start acting subserviently with me since you know I'm rich?" He chuckled."Not exactly," I laughed."Seems like it to me," he taunted."Well, it's just that I don't exactly have a good expression about rich people, I don't know if it's a wrong or a right impression but still... It's an impression," I expressed."Well, with the kinds of people that I've seen in the restaurant, I understand wh
Liam's POVAfter the ruckus in the restaurant, I had planned to wait for the Cassandra lady to finish talking to her boss and then call her over to talk. However, as I waited, I got a call from my office telling me that some investors would be visiting the following day so I decided to go to my office to prepare some things that would be useful during the meeting.Since Cassandra wasn't available to talk to yet, I walked out of the restaurant after the call heading to the place where I had told my driver we would be meeting up.Maintaining my reputation as the faceless CEO of Wicker corporation required me to make multiple sacrifices such as a walk and being without my driver at almost every point in time.The driver could easily be spotted by the paparazzi if he was with me and my identity could be traced through that so he always stopped slightly farther away from wherever I intended to be in.It had been years since I became the one in charge of the company but no one except those
Cassandra's POVI stepped out of the restaurant, taking a deep breath of the cool evening air. I had just finished my shift in the restaurant and was glad to be done for the day. I loved getting off work and spending time by myself or with my triplet children.At the thought of the boys, I glanced over at the pram that held my children, all fast asleep after getting breastfed before I came out. I knew that the fact that they slept early would probably mean that they would disturb me at night though.I smiled, feeling a sense of pride and joy at the sight of them. They could wake up at the middle of the night but I wouldn't mind. They were my world, my everything.As I continued to push the pram in order to start the walk home, I heard a voice calling my name."Cassandra!" I heard and turned to see Mr Bradwick walking towards me.How could he still be chasing after me once again after the conversation we had when last we talked? I thought that I had made myself clear that I wouldn't be
Cassandra's POVHours later, I was sitting on my bed and grabbing my phone from the bedside table. I just concluded with the house chores that had slightly piled up and wanted to rest a bit before I would prepare dinner.I had been thinking about Liam Bradwick ever since I met him while on my way back home from the restaurant. There was something about him that was nagging at me and I couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to him than he had let on.So now I found herself typing his name into the search bar on Google, hoping to learn more about him. I clicked on the first link that popped up, a news article from a few years ago.The headline read: "Liam Bradwick Takes Over as CEO of GlobalTech Industries."My heart skipped a beat on reading the headline and I paused for a few seconds before my brain could process the information.So Liam Bradwick was the CEO of such a huge company? I had thought he was just a recruiter or a highly placed staff, or anything, just not the CEO!I
Cassandra’s POVI woke up early as usual for another day of work and sat on my bed, looking up to see my three little ones who were lying together peacefully in their crib beside my bed.As I gazed upon their sleeping faces, my mind drifted to the tempting job offer and the possible risks and rewards it held. The decision I had to make about taking on a job that would require me to leave my triplets every day was really a challenging one.However, the opportunity was also a source of relief because my top priority was providing the best care possible for my boys, and the extra income would help me accomplish just that.After careful consideration, I opted to go with my plan of waiting for more information about the job offer before making any more concrete decisions. I can't believe that I was really spending so much time thinking about that offer after how I had waved it off for weeks.Without wasting more time, I rose from my bed and made my way to the bathroom where I turned on the
Cassandra's POVIt was like I couldn't breathe properly again after my eyes landed on that stain. There was a heavy weight in my chest and my head ached terribly as I tried to assimilate what I had seen.Jason must have been smooching with Ana for her lipstick to be smeared on his face. I had imagined that Jason would kiss someone in his office today but I thought that person would be me, not Ana. He didn't even care that I was leaving his office since he had obviously now reconciled with her."How come you're already leaving? Are you too ashamed to continue now that I caught you in the act?" Ana's voice filtered into my ears as I tried to surreptitiously leave the building and I stopped in the middle of my steps.What was she still doing here? Wasn't she already leaving? Or did she stay outside to wait to see how I would react on realizing that they had reconciled? She was probably just taunting me now, knowing that I probably saw what she wanted me to; the fact that she was still t
Jason's POVEverything was so fucked up. How had I manage to get myself in a ditch just in a few minutes? This all began when Ana came to my office while I was waiting for Cassandra who I invited to come over.My eyes had lit up on hearing my secretary announce that I had a guest but dimmed just as quickly as I realized that Cassandra's arrival wouldn't be announced in that manner."A guest?" I echoed what she had said in slight confusion as I hadn't been expecting any visitor and couldn't tell who would want to see me."Yes, sir. It's... It's umm...""Why are you stuttering?""It's emm..." She trailed off again."Who is the guest that came to see me?" I asked her just as I heard a hiss over the phone that certainly hadn't been from my secretary."I'll just go in since you're not ready to inform him of my presence."'Ana,' I swiftly realized who had the new voice just as the door of my office opened to reveal the exact person I thought it was."What do you think that you're doing here
Cassandra's POVI was presently feeling extremely cranky right now. I had been feeling this way the entire day but it was now that I had the time to dwell on it as the driver was just taking the boys out of the house which meant the task of preparing the kids for school was finally out of the way.Why was I feeling cranky? Very easy question to answer, it was because I didn't get a good night's rest. And that was because I missed having someone in bed with me. Hell, I didn't miss having just anyone in bed with me, I missed having Jason in bed with me.Wasn't it so silly that I would miss him when I didn't even feel anything when Liam left the house? It was really crazy and I knew that but that was just the way I felt.I wanted Jason with me at every moment of the day, even if we wouldn't kiss or do anything sexual. I just wanted him in the same room that I was in, so that I could hear him, and smell him.Jason was like a very unhealthy craving that I couldn't break free from. I totall
Jason's POVI thought I saw regret in Ana's eyes after I reminded her that she was now in the position I had been in while we were married but I quickly waved that imagination out of my head. There was no way she was sorry for what she had done in the past.How did someone even suddenly become remorseful for what they did years ago? If she really regarded me as all she cared about like she claimed, she would have realized her wrongdoing earlier on, before we even got divorced, and sought my forgiveness.She was only coming back now because she was just too proud to be comfortable with being replaced. There was also the fact that she was probably ashamed that I now had children with a person she set me up with herself and that the same person was someone she had been friends with."Can you step away from my car door now?" I breathed out and she swallowed."I'm going to let you go for now...""Good," I commented, intending to cut her off."But I still have my eyes on you," she continued
Ana's POV My eyelids flared as Jason accused me of being the one who set him up with Cassandra and I felt like throwing something at that moment. Jason was still as frustrating and annoying as he had been when we were married.I may have been the one who orchestrated their first encounter but I only wanted them to have sex with each other for one day. I didn't want them to get into any extra relationship and continue maintaining contact with each other.If I could, I would have even killed off those little brats that she gave birth to so as to make sure that Cassandra didn't have any relationship with him but I couldn't even dare or else Jason would have my head on a stake.He had always wanted children so much and I wasn't ready for that but he wouldn't listen if I tried telling him. I was forced to secretively make sure that I didn't get pregnant by minimizing sex between the both of us and taking pills whenever we did.'So why are you now pissed that someone else did what you

Cassandra's POV “The door is open," I squealed as Jason tried to kiss me, pointing at the door then walking out.I had to admit to myself that I really wanted to kiss him though, it was as if I was addicted to his taste. Only getting close enough to smell him made me so excited."I'll have that kiss later though," he promised as he caught up with me after shutting the door and laced his fingers through mine."Jason!" I protested in a whisper."Fine, fine," he conceded and let go of my hand. "I just always have the desire to lay my hands on you whenever I see you.""After holding me for so long yesterday?" I taunted."Especially after that," he winked at me and I nudged him before walking ahead of him to get to the boys."Okay, we're here," I announced as we came out of the corridor, arriving in the sitting room."Daddy, can we turn on the television?" Justin requested."No, how is that the first thing you want in the morning?" I answered before Jason could speak. "How come you a
Jason's POVI smiled as Cassandra walked out of my room already dressed up because she wanted to be back in her room before the children would wake up. She was really such a beauty and so sexy that I kept on having hard-ons."You had better stop thinking about her if you don't want another hard-on," I told myself and moved to my wardrobe to pick clothes.But it was so hard not to as she was all that filled my mind once I wasn't thinking about anything important. Sometimes, the thoughts of her even drowned out important issues. I was that deeply attracted to her.I remembered how she wanted to cum but thought that she needed to pee and bursted into laughter. She even lost consciousness briefly after climaxing. How was she so naive and yet she had been dating someone for years? They were even engaged!I had only started suspecting that they actually hadn't gotten physical when she seemed to really be into me but my assumption was confirmed when she told me that she needed to pee when sh
Cassandra's POVJason and I went to shower together, touching each other again while bathing until I finally left him in there and came out. I quickly dressed up and by the time he finally came out, I was leaving the room.I kept looking around for maids as I headed to my room but luckily, didn't see anything till I entered my room. I sighed in relief once I was in my room and then jumped onto my bed happily as I reminisced on everything that had taken place the previous night.After lying there for a while, I changed clothes and went to check on my phone once I was dressed. My eyes widened on seeing three missed calls and I suddenly remembered that I had told Liam I would call him back when he called while we were in the park.Like I expected, I saw that it was actually Liam who had called when I picked up my phone and quickly called back with my heart beating fast. While I was having fun with Jason, my fiance was waiting for me to call him back."Liam?" I spoke up once he answered t
