Chapter 61: A Precarious Situation

Cassandra’s POV I whipped out my phone. “Who are you calling?” Stella asked, as I searched my contacts. “Jordyn,” I replied. “What? Why?” Stella asked, concern in her eyes. I knew what she was thinking. She thought I had reverted to calling Jordyn because I was upset and seeking comfort. But that wasn’t the case at all. “We need to let him know that our designs have been stolen,” I told her. “This could impact our collaboration and the entire fashion competition. He has a right to know.” Stella frowned. “I suppose,” she said reluctantly, but I heard the hesitation in her voice. “Just remember, he still thinks you’re a personal assistant.” Right. For a brief moment, I’d almost forgotten that as far as Jordyn was concerned, I was just a low-level employee who was overseeing some of the project while our chief designer was away. “Okay,” I said as I hit the call button. “I’ll tell him you called me in

Chapter 62: The Race to Market

Cassandra’s POV By mid-afternoon, our team had assembled in our vandalized office. They all had the same reaction when they saw the mess: wide-eyes, a gasp, then a sad, sympathetic look. “We’ve hired a cleaning company,” Stella told them. “But Cassandra and I cleaned out the boardroom and studio as best we could. It’s not ideal, working under these conditions, but it’s the best we can do right now.” Once everyone was there, we told them the bad news – that the draft designs had been stolen. “We don’t know who stole them or why,” I told the staff, “but we can assume they intend to use our designs. As such, we can’t wait for the fashion competition to reveal our concept. We need to get some of our designs out to market as quickly as humanly possible.” Everyone nodded, although they looked apprehensive. “Not ALL the designs,” Stella interjected. “Just a few. So the first step is to decide which designs we can re-draft and p

Chapter 63: In the Hospital

Cassandra’s POV My eyes fluttered open but it was too bright so I closed them. Where was I? The room smelled of disinfectant. Confused, I opened my eyes again. I was shocked to find myself lying in a hospital bed. Disoriented, I struggled to understand. But then the memory flooded back to me. I’d been in the studio, sleep-deprived and exhausted when suddenly, I’d become very dizzy. ‘You must have fainted,’ I thought to myself. “Cass?” I turned to see Stella sitting on a chair at my bedside. She stood up and came to me when she saw that my eyes were open. There was someone standing behind her. I quickly realized that it was my brother, Cameron. “Jesus, Cassandra,” Cameron said. “You gave us quite a scare.” “What happened?” I asked. How did I get from the studio floor to a hospital? I looked at my wrist. I was hooked up to an IV. Stella saw the shocked look on my face. “It’s okay

Chapter 64: The Folder

Cassandra’s POV “Familiar how?” I asked Cameron. He shrugged. “I can’t explain it,” he said. “But the whole thing just felt off. I mean, they’re good designs. Fabulous, actually. Very creative. As I looked through them, though, something just wasn’t sitting right. So I went to your office to show them to you.” “Do you have the designs with you?” I asked. “Of course,” Cameron said. He opened his briefcase and pulled out a large folder. Cameron handed me a folder just as Stella let out a huge yawn. “Excuse me,” Stella said, covering her mouth. Her eyes were bloodshot and she looked a little woozy.“Stella, please,” I told her. “You need to get some rest.” Stella hadn’t worked for three days consecutively like I had, but she was close. She’d pulled some really long days too. I was worried about her. I’d made a huge mistake, one that had landed me in the hospital. I didn’t want the same for her. Stella yawned again. “Maybe you’re rig

Chapter 65: Confrontation

Cassandra’s POV“Dillon?” I gasped. Dillon was the last person I expected to see in the hospital hallway. I felt even worse now that I’d ruined his shirt. “What are you doing here?”He smiled, the half-empty Styrofoam cup of coffee still in his hand.“I came to see you,” he told me.My stomach did a little flip-flop as he flashed me his boyish grin. He looked good, in navy pants and the crisp white shirt. The corners of his eyes crinkled as he smiled. If not for the massive coffee stain on the front of his shirt, he’d look like he just stepped out of the pages of a fashion magazine.He came to see ME? Actually? I wasn’t expecting that. I knew that Dillon and I had grown increasingly closer over the past few weeks. In fact, I was starting to think of him as one of my best friends. But I was surprised that he’d come all the way to the hospital just to see me.Surprised and somewhat confused…“How did you know I was here?” I asked, flummoxed.“Cameron told me,” Dillon said matter-of-factl

Chapter 66: Dillon’s Plan

Cassandra’s POV“What are you doing? Put me down!” I declared as Dillon carried me through the halls of the hospital. I had no choice but to wrap my arms around his neck to steady myself. My feet dangled in the air as he walked, carrying me like I weighed nothing more than a rag doll.“I told you…” Dillon said, a hint of playfulness in his voice, which only exacerbated my irritation. “You leave me no choice.”He carried me right out of the hospital and out into the parking lot.“You know, this could be considered kidnapping,” I told him. The scent of his cologne was sharp in my nose. It smelled absolutely delicious. I suddenly became very self-conscious.Shit, when was the last time I had a shower? I probably reeked! And my breath? Oh god, I needed a breath mint. If Dillon noticed, though, he didn’t show it. He just kept marching right through the parking lot. A few people raised their eyebrows at us as we passed.“I’ll risk a kidnapping charge,” Dillon said, finally put me down. “If i

Chapter 67: Ellie 's pregnant?

Cassandra’s POVI started to get in the car with Dillon, but as I did, I saw a couple walking across the parking lot. At first glance, they looked oddly familiar. I recognized the green wool jacket that the woman was wearing. I stopped and stared.The man had his arm around the woman.“Cassandra?” Dillon asked, noticing my pause.The couple was fairly far away, but I could see them clearly enough to know it was them – Jordyn and Ellie.‘What are Jordyn and Ellie doing here?’ I thought to myself. I stood and watched them cross the parking lot. Then I looked to the doors they’d just entered through the glass doors and I looked up to see the sign overhead.Those were the doors to the gynecology department. But why would they be going to see a gynecologist, I wondered.Unless…Was Ellie pregnant?“Is something wrong?” Dillon asked.“I…it’s Jordyn,” I stammered.“Where?” Dillon asked, his expression changing and his frown deepening.“Right there.” I pointed to the doors of the gynecology de

Chapter 68: Stay Out of My Life

Cassandra’s POVJordyn walked fast, back through the parking lot towards his car. For a moment, my breath hitched in my throat. Why was he coming back? Had he seen me? I watched, frozen in place as he approached his car. He opened the door and grabbed Ellie’s purse.Oh. He’d just come back for Ellie’s purse, I realized with a sigh of relief. The last thing I wanted right now was to see him, let alone to talk to him here, in the parking lot. I didn’t have time for this bullshit. I had to get to Dillon’s so I could start working again. Someone was already submitting our stolen designs to fashion companies. We needed to get some of our designs out to the public ASAP.But as I started getting into the car, I heard a voice call out.“Cassandra?”Shit. It was Jordyn. He must have spotted me across the parking lot. I slowly turned around to see Jordyn marching towards us, his eyes narrowed.“What are you doing here?” Jordyn asked as he approached. “Is everything okay? Why are you at the hospi

Chapter 69: Confrontation

Cassandra’s POV“You don’t mean that,” Jordyn said, his eyes wide and serious.I did mean it though. I’d had enough of Jordyn and his constant interference in my life. When we agreed to the collaboration with Jordyn’s company, I knew it would come with its own unique set of challenges. But I’d honestly thought that Jordyn and I could maintain a professional relationship. I never, in a million years, thought he’d keep trying to barge into my personal life like this.What was he doing? Why was he even talking to me at all? His fiancé, and the mother of his child was currently waiting for him in the gynecology department. Why was he out here, arguing with me in the parking lot? He should be inside, with Ellie!“I mean it,” I told him, my voice firm with steely resolve. I’d tried multiple times to make it clear to Jordyn that I wanted nothing to do with any of his personal affairs. I’d done my best to be polite and cordial. But this was the last straw! I’d just been discharged from the hos

Chapter 70: Dillon to the Rescue

Cassandra’s POV“What the hell do you want?” Jordyn sighed as Dillon approached. Dillon stepped in front of me, shielding me from Jordyn.“I want you to stop harassing my girlfriend,” Dillon said, glaring at Jordyn. Jordyn scoffed and rolled his eyes.“Who the hell are you?” Ellie asked, her hands on her hips.“Apparently,” Jordyn said, his voice dripping with sarcasm, “this is Cassandra’s new boyfriend.”The tension between Jordyn and Dillon was palpable. For a brief moment, neither of them said anything. They just stood there, glaring at one another. I stepped out from behind Dillon. I wasn’t used to seeing Dillon like this, all riled up and super protective. I appreciated where he was coming from – he wanted Jordyn out of my life as much as I did at this point. My family had never liked Jordyn and they had made no show of hiding their feelings about him during our marriage. I was certain that Cameron had overheard many scathing remarks about Jordyn over the years.And since Dillon a
