As Cassandra listened carefully her eyes widened at the realization of her words.‘’Baby, I don't know if I got it right, but I am certain whatever I heard sounded like that’’ Laura assured her.‘’Will you act on it?’’ Cassandra did not want to worry her. She was over in France for her treatment and stress was what she wanted to keep far away from her bonus mother. She was hurt but she was still putting up a string for the sake of her only child.She had no children of her own and never would she. Cassandra was the only one aside from her father aware Laura couldn't not have children consequently due to the terminal disease she had been battling for years. She was all she had and that made her love her even more.‘’It's nothing to fear, mama, it was only a casual conversation. I won't act on it’’ Cassandra went on to talk with Laura for a few minutes before hanging up.As she stared at the pictures scattered all over the wall, she did not know how it all happened but at this point, th
His strange habit did not frighten Cassandra, rather she felt protected and safe. Her father's murderer was still on the run and not knowing who the real culprit was only made it harder and her safety uncertain. She was happy to have a man like Carlson looking out for her at all times. As they settled everything, Carlson led his woman to the car while Tessa and Alex got in another. The ride back home was a qucik one.‘’Have you thought of what you want to do with the properties left behind and the companies?’’ Carlson asked as he drove into the yard. The guards were all stationed ready to welcome them. Cassandra could feel the familiarity with his questions. He had asked her the same question in her previous life. She wanted nothing to do with all left behind, she was mad, she held a grudge against her deceased father for not supporting her, and had cut off everyone who reminded her of him. Now she was ready to walk another path, she had more closure than she had ever had in her years
Cassandra held onto the phone so tight. She dared not say a word to Carlson as the night faded away. She could not sleep, she kept tossing and turning, they did share a bed but that was all it was to it. She was not ready and she felt grateful he understood her state of mind at the moment. For a moment she considered him her safe space. Morning soon came and as Carlson got ready for the office, he made sure to prepare everything for her. A board meeting was to be held at noon, while Cassandra had to attend another meeting with the staff of the company. ‘’Lunch?’’ Carlson asks as they step out to board their various rides to the office. “No... I promised to chat with Mama, so I will have lunch alone. Cassandra could not tell him, she was stepping out. Whosoever called knew something not only about her father's death but who Carlson was. She had been warned and she planned on sticking to the warning kindly. ‘’Okay,’’ she replied, laying a gentle kiss on her forehead before heading for
If the world could end on request, then that was exactly what Kimberly wished for. How could she have known the lady from earlier on was the only daughter of her late boss? Cassandra had not been the type to frequent the office after her university days. She was more concerned with having others do the job for her while focusing more on building her fake relationship. Now being mistook for a mistress is what she gets for always hiding and staying away from the media and paparazzi. ‘’Good morning everyone, I am Cassandra William and will be taking over from my father while waiting for other things to be sorted out’’ she announced as she sat gracefully on the CEO seat reserved for her. She need not say, but they all did understand she talking of the Chairman's funeral. ‘’Miss Cassandra, why the sudden decision to take over the seat of your father? We all know you aren't interested in handling the business, so why dont you leave it to able hands?’’ Robert asked as everyone nodded. Cassa
Ever since his wedding, Frank Edward has not had peace of his own. So Much was happening in very little time and he had to be the one to take care of everything. Unlike Kelly who was rather having a better chance at escaping everything, he did not. The company he worked for had been for Cassandra, she had been the one to pave the path for him, and seeing everyone was aware of his cheating and consequent abandonment at the altar. His job was on the line. Edward carries himself from the bed. He wanted nothing more than to sleep and wish this nightmare of life would go away. ‘’Where are you off to so early’’ he asked Kelly who was fully dressed in sexy pants and a crop top. It was not an appropriate choice of dress for work and they both knew it. ‘’Just to hang out with some friends'’ Kelly replied nonchalantly. She paid no attention to the man speaking to her as she did her hair and applied even more contour. ‘’Isn't it too early to be hanging out with friends? And which friends are t
Cassandra had barely had her head cleared after the staff meeting when Tessa rushed in informing her of the board meeting which was meant to be held in an hour but apparently, it was ongoing already. ‘’What?’’ she cursed out. She was burned out already, yet the day was still young. ‘’Let's go’’ she informs Tessa who helps her with her bag, and Alex leisurely walks behind. Just by seeing her, everyone adjusted in their seats. ‘’Welcome Miss Willimas’’ Rick Sandals, her father's secretary, greeted, as he pulled out the CEO seat for her. The room was mainly filled with aged men all looking at her like she was a piece of meat ready for slaughter. Cassandra did not like the stares, but she was not in any position to make it stop. Unlike her father, who was strict, decisive, and ruthless, she only had anger from her previous life as a driven force. ‘’You should have been here earlier, starting on a bad note, I don't think you have what it takes to lead this empire’’ Mr Logan Mycall was fir
Cassandra stares at the cheaters. ‘’If you read the handwriting on the wall so well, you would know I am out of your league,’’ Cassandra replied effortlessly. She was not scared, the both of them joined together and were too small to move her or make her worry. ‘’I see your new marriage has made you all high and mighty, but trust me when I say it will come falling one day’’ Kelly could not hide her jealousy as it was written all over her. ‘Yes, it may come falling one day but certainly not now. Also.. aren't you too proud? I have always been out of your league, I only accommodated you because I felt a pig needed cleanup. But, certainly, it shall never be cleaned’’ ‘’you’’ Kelly tried approaching but Edward held her back. Every action of theirs did not go past the eyes of Cassandra. In her 6 years of marriage, he has never been angry and yet so gentle with her. He would choose the cold-off option which came with the cooling package in her best friend's arms. ‘’I am sorry’’ Edward sudd
The sudden brakes almost threw all three of them off their seats if they did not have their seat belts on. The glare Alex passed to Tessa could kill if looks could. She had been the one barely seconds ago giving him the warning look and here she was blurting out what she shouldn't. ‘’Oh’’ was all Cassandra said as she sank deeper into her seat. She faced the window trying hard to hold back herself. ‘’You should have kept quiet’’ Aleex could not hold it, but Tessa only shrugged. The deed was done and there was no way she could take back her words at this time. As the ride home got closer, Cassandra only wished she could escape. So much was going through her mind, she knew him, not well enough but she was certain he loved her and her father approved of him. So much was happening but knowing they had such a close bond and him being the killer was not something sitting slightly within her. Cassandra was quick to jump out of the car even before Alex could pack properly. While the other st
