Cassandra's POVThe elevator doors dinged as they slid open and I stepped out, finally having arrived at the first floor of Jason's company building where his office was located."Good day," I greeted his secretary, a different person from the secretary who was here when I came here several weeks ago.Jason was a very merciless person so it wasn't hard to figure what had happened to the lady who was previously his secretary."I'm here to see the chairman, I believe you received a call from the receptionist just a few minutes ago," I spoke once my greeting had been replied."Oh... You're welcome, Miss. He said that you can be ushered in once you arrive," the secretary smiled and began leading me to Jason's office.We entered after knocking on the door twice and the secretary left after announcing my presence while Jason prompted me to come and have a seat. He remained on his table for a few more seconds before standing up and coming to join me in sitting on the group of cushions at one
Cassandra's POVI didn't know what to say right now, I was totally tongue-tied on seeing Liam being so bold while being completely unreasonable. Since when did he become able to dictate how long I was supposed to spend outside?"Liam, what is wrong with you?" I spat out furiously."I simply asked you why you spent so much time outside when you just went to complete such a small task, I don't understand how that enquiry provoked the reply you gave to me," he replied and I looked at him in disbelief."You know what? This is it, I'm moving out. It's obvious that the both of us can't handle having so much proximity," I declared and started heading to my bedroom but before I could walk past him, he had already caught me by the hand."What are you talking about?""I don't know, I don't know, I'm trying to look for an explanation for why you're being so... so... I don't even know how to describe how you're treating me!""So how can you be making such a drastic decision because of a reason yo
Jason's POVI walked over to Cassandra's door after getting off my car and pressed the doorbell. The door was opened almost immediately by Cassandra and I smiled on seeing her face."Good morning!""Morning," she replied dryly and my smile waned. "You can come in," she told me before walking off and I slowly let myself in then shut the door behind me."Is something wrong?" I questioned but she walked off without paying any attention to me.Why was she back to being hostile again? Was Liam's attitude rubbing off on her or did something happen that annoyed her?"Children, your Daddy Jason is here!" I heard her announce inside and the boys ran out excitedly.Mason was the first to get to me as expected since he was the most excited and Justin followed next before finally Robin.With the boys all around me, there was pretty much no room to focus on anything but them. I still noticed that Cassandra's attitude became less hostile as the day went by and by lunchtime when Liam finally came ou
Cassandra's POVI drove to the children's school to pick up the boys and met with their class teacher only to be told that they had been picked up by their father. I rushed back to the car to pickup my phone only to see that I had a missed call and one text message from Jason."Argh, I forgot my phone was on silent," I groaned and turned off the silent mode.I was about to drive away when I got a call so paused to pick up my phone only to see that it was Jason."Where are you? I just got home and there's no one here except the housekeepers," he spoke up once I answered the call."Yeah, Liam and I had business outside today but I just finished what I had to do now.""So should I wait for you to come home?""You can leave the children and be on your way, it's fine," I told him."Okay, bye," he cut the call.Minutes later, I was parking my car at home when I noticed that Jason's car was still in the compound."How come he hasn't left yet?" I wondered and got out of my car then headed to
Liam's POVI was totally taken aback on walking into my home after going out for some work yesterday only to meet Cassandra staring at Jason in the children's room. He wasn't even talking to her, he was just dressing up Robin.Why was she staring at him then? Was she thinking about her revenge? Or was she just watching the way he related with the children? Why would she be looking at him like that? It was a strange look and no matter how I thought of it, I was still discomfited.The boys didn't even welcome me because he was there. Only Justin came over to hug me and once it was evening, they started talking about him again. Apparently, he had said that he might come after work but he ended up not coming and called at night to apologize to the boys.It was all very disconcerting but I tried forcing myself to forget what happened. Today however, I made the decision that I had to go to Jason's office to talk to him so when I completed the work I had to do outside the house, I went to hi
Jason's POVI almost bursted into laughter on seeing Liam's facial expression as he left my office. He was in so much shock at my declaration and that made it so obvious that what I just did would earn me some peace of mind for a while.I was about to go back to working when I got a call and I picked up my cellphone only to see that it was Brian. That was the exact person I needed to be talking to right now."Hey, I need a favor from you," he spoke up once I answered the call."Just chill out for now, I have something to tell you. The favor isn't needed urgently, is it?""Tell me what's on your mind now, you seem excited," he urged and I smiled."Guess what happened today?" I began."Don't try to add any form of suspense to what you have to say, just spill it.""Okay, I hope you're not in a public place right now because this story is extremely funny," I warned."I wouldn't be accepting to listen to your story if I was in a public place, would I?" He queried me in response."That's ri
Jason's POV"Hello Cassandra," I spoke up as soon as she answered the call."Yes, why are you calling me?"Argh, she could always manage to be hostile whenever we were on the phone. However, when we were face to face, she could only be hostile for short periods of time and she broke the pretense, even if the children weren't around, so it wasn't just an attempt to hide our unfriendliness.I really didn't understand why she was still trying to make me feel like she was angry with me when it was obvious that she had buried the past.Was it because of Liam? It couldn't be though because she had been acting this way even before Liam started talking about me trying to allure her. Or had Liam been insecure of having me in their lives right from the beginning forcing her to try being snobbish towards me?But Liam had been nice to me in the beginning and it had really felt like he was the one who was encouraging Cassandra to let me be in the lives of the children. Or was I just mistaken?Oh w
Cassandra's POVI sighed as I finished putting the kitchen in order after cooking and picked up a napkin to towel my hand dry. I was just picking up my phone, preparing to leave the kitchen when I saw Jason's name flashing on my screen."Good morning," I answered the call while keeping the napkin back in its place."Good morning," he replied cheerily and I almost shivered.Jason had been so nice recently, way too nice for someone who was as cold-blooded as he was. It was an alarming change as this new attitude made it totally impossible for me to be hostile towards him but I did like it in a way."How was your night and the children's?""Mine was fine, the children are still sleeping though," I replied."Really? They are so lucky," he chuckled."Well, I'm about to end that.""Why? I'm so jealous of them, I couldn't sleep in even if I tried.""Way too used to being up early right?" I questioned."Exactly," he affirmed. "So... what do you have planned for today?" Jason asked me as I wal
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
