CHAPTER 38
CASSIE'S POV:-
A month had been passed since Norie brought us to her mansion. The Rutherfords were very kind and welcoming. They did not feel strangers at all. It felt like we were part of their family. Chris and I enjoyed our honeymoon. And as Norie had promised, no one tried to get to us. Norie was the reason we were able to enjoy our time together.
Chris and I came back from our morning walk. As we were opening the door of the guest house, Mrs Rutherford came from behind. She asked us if we would like to have anything special for breakfast. She was really a sweetheart. Chris told her that everything would be okay with us. She went away and we stepped into the guest house.
We went towards the bedroom. I went towards the bed and laid down. Chris grabbed his bath gown and stepped into the bathroom. I just did not know why, but I started to miss my dad. M

As one night, I went home late and found Cassie sleeping on the couch. She slept on the couch while waiting for me. And because of that, I earned an amazing scolding session by both of my parents. My mom even told me that if anything like that ever happened again, she would kick me out of the mansion.We were living in my parents' mansion.

CASSIE'S POV:-I was sitting in the cafeteria of the office. I was not allowed to leave the office without Mr Hunt. He strictly ordered that ever if I had to go shopping with Iris, we would have to go with either Mr Hunt, Chris, Scott or my dad. They were all extra cautious about me and my safety. I did not mind at all. Even though Iris tried to talk me through to get me to go shopping alone but I declined. Because I knew it was better to sit home than asking for trouble with Mr Hunt.Scott came in and took his seat. I called the waiter and ordered lunch for both of us. I had informed Mr Hunt that I had some things to discuss with Scott about the case. He allowed me to go to the office cafeteria. And Iris promised me that she would take care of my work until I would come back. To be honest, they were all a great support for me to fight that battle. It was a great relief knowing that I was not alone into this fight.

And I had raped her. I was the cold hearted man everyone known as the monster. Monster, that was what she used to call me. Only if she would understand how I felt about her. But who could have told her. She loved that son of a bitch Hunt.I saw my parents coming towards the cell. I stood up and waited for them. I knew why they were visiting me. They were worried if something happened to me, they did not have anyone else to take care of the business they cared about most. At least my father was here for that specific reason. As per my brother, he never wanted to be part of that business. He made

I glared at him. He was alive because of the bars of the cell between us. Otherwise I would have killed my good for nothing father that very day. He forced my mother away while she did not dare to look into my eyes again. She was guilty.Hendrick Black: That is why I did not ask you that question, Mr Black. You are a cold hearted man. Who cares about nothing but his money, his business and his reputation.I yelled angrily as they went away. I kicked the bars hard then went back to my bed. I sat on the bed with my head in my hands. I wanted to kill that heartless man. I knew he was forcing my mother to say all that to me. Because when she learned th

My phone beeped with a text message. I pulled my phone out of my clutch and checked the message.Norie: I am not there with you. But don't think of yourself alone. I am with you. Don't give up, Cassandra. You can do it. You can fight him. Don't forget, you are on the right path. You are just trying to save whatever you have worked hard to build again.
