Chapter thirty-twoThe operaI sat down in front of the mirror, I was dressed in a white double V-neck cocktail gown. I stared right into the mirror as I looked at my own reflection which stared right back at me.“What have I done?” I let out a disappointed sigh. The thought of going back to him crossed my mind but I had already said yes to him and cancelling may not be the right thing to do. “What am I going to do?” I asked myself in the quiet room.After much staring at my reflection, I began to apply a bit of light make-up and soon I was done. I walked out of the room to meet with him, he was already set and was dressed in his white tuexdo suit, the same suit I first saw him with.Gently I approached him, he was ready and we but entered the suv and drove off to his personal private hanger.His private plane was parked with it's door already opened like it was expecting us. Alighted from the suv, we made it to the plane and boarded it.The inside was amazing, I was left speechless a

“What would you have done, if I had reconsidered at the last minute?” I stared at him with so must eager and curiousness as to what he would say if I had cancelled and changed my mindHe dropped down the menu, wrapped his hands together and gave a smile in amusement. At that moment, I felt like an idiot who had just asked a silly question .I told you, it was only a stupid question. You don’t have to answer if you don’t feel the need to.” I let out a sigh . “I have no idea why I had to ask such a question in the first place.” I picked up the menu as I glanced at it to see the different recipes and delicacy on it once more before I choose.“I would have cancelled.” The words came out of his mouth. I looked up at him like I heard not what he said and wanted him to repeat the same words just to be certain that I wasn’t being delusional. “If you had changed your mind about coming, I would have cancelled.”I could hardly believe the words I had just heard him say from his lips. He must be

The mention of my father’s name sent a cold chill through my spine. My lips were sealed shut as a result of the shock and surprise on hearing his name. What has this got to do with him? Why is he involved in this?“You seem pretty shocked, I know. You never expected him to be part of it, did you?” His eyes were focused on me. There was nothing I could do or say but to stare back at him. “Are you sure you want to know everything that happened?”At that moment, I could hardly tell if I was ready or not. Mariano’s life and Becky's death were linked with my father. It would be best to let it go but my curiosity was growing bigger and no matter how much i think of it, my father is involved therefore i have to know what happened.I took in a deep breath and let it all out, and then I took another deep breath to calm myself a little. “Yes, I want to know what happened.” I responded as I tried to summon the courage to prepare myself for whatever I was going to hear.“Alright then. It may be a

“I want you to be mine.” His words cut me off guard. I was speechless and so much confused, all I could do was stare right at him. My heart was racing as much as twice as it usually would. His eyes were fixed on me, I could see the sincerity and honesty in them. Mariano has just confessed his feelings towards me.Face to face with each other, neither of us said a word but just stood staring into each other. Shortly, the smell of something burning caught on our nose.“Shit!” He exclaimed out loud as he turned back to the eggs. “ I burnt it.” He said with a bit of disappointment.Just as I stood there watching him lament, muttering to himself. I found myself smiling.“You are smiling.” Hearing his words, my smile began to fade slowly. “You don’t have to stop smiling just because I said it, besides it’s nice to see you smile. I like it when you smile.”I don’t know what is happening, but Mariano’s words, everytime he talks this way my heart just beats as fast as usual. Could this be my

30 days in captivity"What do you really think of me?" His eyes made contact with mine, staring right at me without saying a word. "Do you consider me a woman?" "You seemed drunk. We will talk about it some other time.""No, I want to know." I spoke out as I tried to be persistent. Now is probably the best time for Mariano to give me an answer, cause no matter what he says, it won't hurt so much if I eventually get rejected by him. I fixed my gaze at him, hoping for him to speak up. "Since you want to know, I will give you the answer you've been waiting to hear" he spoke and stared right into my eyes. My heart was racing again. I was eager to hear what he would say. Will I be rejected? The thought came ringing in my head. "Cassandra." He paused just after calling my name, my heart made a loud throbbing sound inside me. . "I have always thought of you as a woman. Nothing less of such, and just like I have been saying, I have never been more interested in you than this moment. I wa
