Cassandra's POVMy phone buzzed on the kitchen counter as I stirred the meal I was cooking and I quickly washed my hands, grabbing a napkin as I walked to where the phone was. I glanced at the screen and saw Jason's name flashing so I answered the call after taking a deep breath."Hello," I slowly began."Hey Cassandra, how are you doing?" He said."I don't believe you called me to discuss that," I muttered."Actually no, but it's only proper to ask about your well-being and that of the children before moving to my reason for calling," he responded and I rolled my eyes even though he couldn't see me."I'll appreciate it more if you go straight to the point," I stated."I doubt very much if that's a nice way to act towards you.""I just said that I want you to be like that with me. It's not like we..." I trailed off and huffed. "Jason, I want you to understand that you don't have to try kissing up to me. Relate with your children and that's it," I told him firmly."We have to..." He wa
Jason's POVI pulled up in front of Cassandra's house, a weight of anticipation slowly settling on my shoulders. I came out of the car still feeling uneasy and rang the doorbell.Today was the day I would be taking the boys; Mason, Justin and Robin out for an outing, just the four of us since Cassandra refused to come with us.Despite being their biological father, I knew that the boys were not yet comfortable with me. After all, we had only recently met, and they were four years old.The door swung open bringing me back from my thoughts and revealing Cassandra who had a warm smile on her face. She stepped aside, gesturing for me to come in."Hey, Jason. They're all ready to go, I hope you have a great time with them today.""I was hoping that you might change your mind on your decision not to come with us," I smiled softly as I walked into the house."No. But I could change my mind on allowing you to take the boys out since you're not grateful," she threatened and I raised a hand."N
Liam's POVI was walking down the stairs intending to get a glass of water when I saw one of the boys walking out of the house followed by Cassandra."Cassandra didn't tell me they were going out," I mumbled as I strained my ears trying to sense any noise in the house and looked around only to figure that all the boys were not in the house which meant that she didn't take just one of the boys out with her but all of them.'Maybe they were going to play outside or something, Cassandra doesn't look dressed and as far as I know she hasn't bathed,' I concluded and walked to the dinning table to get the water I came for.I was already walking upstairs when I heard the door opening again so I turned around wondering why she was back so soon only to see that she was alone."Where are the boys? I thought they went out with you," I questioned but she just exhaled which made me worried so I immediately hurried to meet her. "Are they outside?""No, they are not at home, they went out," she answe
Cassandra's POV"Wait what?" Liam asked with his eyes widened and I pressed my lips into a line."I believe that you heard what I said.""So I just reminded you that I am not and will never be in support of that plan and it means nothing to you?" Liam questioned angrily and something about his tone was just so provoking."I believe I have the right to do whatever I consider to be right," I told him firmly."Ohh, so now that's what you're saying? Aren't we supposed to be a family? Or did I think wrong? Does my opinion not matter to you anymore? Is Jason all that matters?" He queried and I laughed wryly."Jason doesn't matter one bit, you of all people should know that.""Am I supposed to? I really don't think so because I don't understand you right now. The Cassandra I know and got engaged to wouldn't do this kind of thing especially when I plainly disagreed to it," he argued."I value your input on whatever I do, true, but it doesn't mean that I am supposed to do whatever you say," I
Jason's POVI opened the back seat of my car and shut the door behind the boys once they were inside the car. Cassandra was following behind so I waved at her before entering the driver's seat then starting the car."Say bye to Mommy," I prompted while opening the car windows and they immediately looked out with smiles to their mother."Bye Mommy," they chorused and she smiled as she waved back.Cassandra had a beautiful smile, I just had to admit that.They continued waving even as I began driving and didn't stop until I was out of the compound and their mother was no more in sight."So boys, where do you want to go?" I asked once they were sitting calmly, putting excitement in my voice even though I wasn't feeling anything but unease."I thought that you planned where to take us to," Mason murmured."I didn't want to choose a place that you won't like so I decided to leave the decision to you guys," I explained."Let's go to the park!" Robin suggested."What do you think about that,
Liam's POVI sat on the couch, watching the television when I heard the sound of the gates of the compound swinging open. I immediately concluded that it would be Cassandra who had gone out and walked to open the door.On coming out however, my eyes met the sight of a moving car that looked nothing like Cassandra's and was probably way more expensive than hers. Was it...The car drove to the front of the house before starting to reverse and as I saw the boys jumping about excitedly in the back seat of the car, my suspicion was confirmed. It was the children's father like I had guessed.My mind started filling with conflicting emotions as I watched the car pull over and their father come out after turning off the car. My confusion was due to a war of thoughts on how I was going to treat this Jason.A part of me wanted to be nice to him, the larger part actually, as all that had happened wasn't really his fault. He had hurt Cassandra and made foolhardy decisions but, that was all in the
Jason's POVI sighed as I got into my car after talking with Liam glad that everything went smoothly and began driving home.I had lost the boys multiple times both in the toystore and in the park but I always managed to find them everytime. They didn't ever do anything bad while alone though so no harm was done.I spotted Brian's car in my parking lot as I drove into my home and smiled. Soon, I was walking out of the car heading to the house and upon my entry, Brian was sitting on a chair, drinking wine while watching my television."Who let this man into my house?" I said as I walked in and his eyes lit up on seeing me."I should be the one asking that question instead; who let you into this house? That person deserves to be fired," he responded immediately getting a hang of the joke."You are even drinking my wine, pay for it right now," I demanded and he bursted into laughter which I joined in before taking a seat beside him. "Has it been long since you came?""Not really," he shr
Jason's POV"Alpha, the investor's meeting has been adjourned till Monday," my secretary informed me on the phone as I talked to her and I frowned."Why didn't you tell me that yesterday?" I questioned annoyedly."The arrangement was still valid as at yesterday. One of the investors just reported to be sick this morning and coincidentally, two other persons were already requesting for the meeting to be rescheduled," she slowly explained."Who dared to request for a meeting I had planned for with their consent to be rescheduled? Weren't they aware that they had other engagements when they agreed to today being the meeting day?" I vented."I apologize, Alpha Jason," she apologized and I could sense the fear in her voice."No problem, just confirm the time and tell me about it eventually," I huffed and cut the call.Argh! And I had wanted to go out with Cassandra and the boys but I didn't plan for it because of this meeting."What's the time?" I sighed and looked at the time.It was just
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
