Cassandra’s POV

Heartbreak? I think I’ve had enough of it.

I mean, having two heartbreaks in the space of three months should be legendary. Or… could this even count as a breakup?

I had been happy to receive a text message from Dante after he left in a hurry that morning. But when I saw the content, I froze. It was as if I was stuck in a loop, reading the message again and again, unable to make sense of the words.

It had to be a joke.

“Compensate me for the time wasted?” I breathed, tears streaming down my face as their salty taste spread across my lips.

I couldn’t believe I was actually receiving a breakup message, and through a text message of all things. But I did. Dante Blackwell broke up with me over the phone. I couldn’t process it because after that hot, wild night we had, I had been so sure I had him wrapped around my fingers.

How could he change his mind and break up with me just like that?

“I won’t say it’s a breakup. I mean… we just fucked and… damn that old man!” I shriek

    Cassandra’s POV“Another shitty day to resume work,” I breathed, as I scanned my work ID and walked into the building.It had been a week since that horrible breakup with Dante Blackwell, and it had been horrible—no, I had been miserable. I couldn’t believe how deeply affected I was by the breakup until I got home one night and found myself standing on the bridge, genuinely considering jumping off.I couldn’t wrap my hands around the emotions I was feeling, but despite the emotional tumor growing inside me, I didn’t cry. Which Mira found either weird or devastating. She thought I was bottling everything up, thought it was too much, but I didn’t think that was it at all.Maybe experiencing two heartbreaks in such a short time had made me numb to pain. Or maybe work had become my escape, my shield. Either way, work had been a good distraction.I hadn’t thought of him all day because I buried myself in deadlines and sketches. Work had become my comfort zone. That was why my eyes burned i

    Margaret’s POVI felt my world stop the moment I realised that I had just been caught by Dante, and there was no turning back now. My heart slammed violently against my ribs as panic clawed its way up my throat. Should I start crying and beg for forgiveness? I pondered frantically as I tried to push Julio off me, but his grip tightened, holding my head firmly in place.“He can’t see anything from that angle, so listen to me,” he whispered urgently, his breath hot against my ear, as he instructed me to quickly zip up his pants. My hands shook as I did as told, before he adjusted himself calmly and turned to face Dante, who was watching us with a scrutinising, unreadable gaze.That was when I realised he was right, Dante truly couldn’t see what we had been doing from that angle. But that didn’t mean we were safe. Not at all. I still had to explain why we were in such a compromising position, and my mind raced desperately.“Are you sure you’re comfortable, or do you need to lie back down

    Margaret’s POV“Do I still have your heart, Dante?” I mumbled, watching Dante leave the hospital room, his retreating back burning into my vision.I couldn’t believe that a time would come when I would see Dante hesitate over any of my requests. Even though I had forced him to choose me with my little acts, I didn’t feel like I had won at all, not truly.What’s a win when it’s built on such tricks and desperation?“But I don’t care if I win with such tricks. What matters is that Dante is mine,” I whispered, ruffling my hair in frustration, but my hands trailed down to the bandaged wounds on my wrists, lingering there.My eyes darkened as I saw how far I could go just to reach Dante, and that realization dragged memories from the past to the surface. I could still remember the painful sound of the scalpel as it cut through my skin, and how I kept fainting again and again from the unbearable pain.“You’ve done worse, so this is nothing,” I muttered to myself, steadying my breathing as I

    Dante's POV“Margaret!” I called softly as I tried to pry her hands wrapped around me, but she didn’t budge. She held onto me tightly, as if letting go meant I would run away from her forever.“No… I don’t want to. I want us to stay like this forever. Is that too much to ask?” she whispered, but I convinced her to let me go only after telling her there was an emergency at work I needed to handle.“Are you sure? Don't you dare lie to me, Dante, you know I will always find out if you do,” she said, and it sounded like a warning.Her words rubbed on me badly, but I brushed it off thinking she was just being paranoid after what happened this morning, she must think that I haven't broken it off with Cassandra. But even though Cassandra was out of the picture I didn't think I would stop lying to her, because my feelings had changed without me realising it. “Of course, I won't lie to you.”That was a lie, but it wasn’t like she would know. I knew I didn’t have to lie, yet I couldn’t curb t

    Dante's POVMy steps halted after I noticed Cassandra had left the hallway, and I only turned around to look at her as I watched her walk away. I felt terrible watching her leave like that, and I also felt like a complete jerk for using such harsh words with her, but I couldn’t help it.That was the only way to protect her and not let her get harmed more. There was never a future for us, and I still owed Margaret my life, so being with her wasn’t even debatable.“I’m sorry, kitten, it’s just better this way,” I mumbled, turning around to leave, but I bumped into Mira, who was on a call.“Uncle Dante!” she rambled as she immediately cut the call. Panic flashed across her face, and I could already tell what she was afraid of.“I already saw her, and you both can leave without causing any trouble,” I breathed, and she gasped.“You saw her? What did you guys talk about?” she asked, suddenly eager, which made me wonder if she was still the same girl who cursed me out for making out with he

    Cassandra's POVHe dragged me into the hospital hallway and ordered the guards stationed there to leave. I still hadn't gotten over the words he said earlier, so I just stared at him blankly.“What are you up to, Cassandra? Why are you here?” he asked, frustrated, running his hand through his hair, an action I found far too tempting, but I shook the thought out of my head.It wasn’t the time to ogle over such things.“What do you mean? Isn’t this a hospital? Why can’t I be here?” I retorted, and he groaned angrily at that.“Stop teasing me, Cassandra. You know exactly what I’m talking about,” he rambled, and I scoffed.He really had the nerve to get angry after what he did.“Don’t blame me. I couldn’t help but come see you after I got that disturbing text, but it seems you aren’t the one who sent it. So I’m going home, and you can come explain everything to me when you’re done,” I said, ready to leave because I didn’t want to push this man any further.“What part of the text do you no
