Frank watched with a satisfactory smirk as Kelly tossed Cassandra around. That was his wife but nothing she said nor her tears moved him, rather it made him angry. He wasn't glad, it was hard to die. It was taking too much time already and pissing him off.
“What did I ever do wrong? I was there when your parents left you, it was I who helped you all along the way……. Frank, this is our baby, you're watching her punch ” Cassandra sobs.
Her hair hurts so much, she's been pulled too many times over the floor that she couldn't count. While she slipped in and out of consciousness, Frank and Kelly had prepared for her death.
A suicide note laid carelessly on the table. Her bank card last will and last testament were well drafted and written out by Kelly. She had typed the whole thing so as not to raise suspicion. Since she wasn't willing to hand over the code they might as well get it the other way.
“ Have you gotten everything?” Kelly turned to Frank who Was busy setting up the perfect suicide scene.
“Ohh not to worry babe. I have got everything. Now to make her drink it. I won't have her carry my child even in death.”
“ His child,” Cassandra scoffs. The word child rolled out of his mouth so effortlessly, how could any not fall for it, he was erasing evidence and planting new ones of his own. Even if she didn't survive, she could see just how her husband and his mistress would effortlessly walk away.
No one will suspect a mourning best friend who had been there for her. How was the police to suspect a man who is crazed from losing his unborn child and wife? every plan they made before her was perfect,
“How long have you been cheating on me with her?” Cassandra suddenly asked. She wanted to know just how long she'd been a fool, a fool for love. They might as well tell her why she deserves such a fate.
She loved all of them without holding back for 6 long years. Has it all been a dream, or did they fall out of love for her after some years?
“It won't hurt telling you everything now….. dead people don't talk”, Kelly laughed. She was nothing like the friend she had known all these years. The love and shine in her eyes seems to have gone so far away……….very hard to reach.
“Casse……you have got it all. From the perfect home to love, money, and cars. You name it I have been your shadow ever since you came into my life 6 years ago.. At first, I couldn't care less you were willing and ready to pamper me around with cash, you helped my mother start a business and paid my way all through the university. Thanks to your contacts, I secured a good-paying job and now have a better chance at life.
But how could I forget, it was all compensation for taking the most important thing in my life. Frank has always loved just one woman. He gave it all just to seek a better future. He could do anything just for her sake, that's just how much he loves her. Can you guess who she is?” Kelly's words were taunting.
A day ago she would have vowed that the woman before her wasn't capable of such. All Cassandra could think of was how far she had fallen if only time could wait. If only she would be given another chance at it, then she would make them pay for every pain, every drop of tears would be accounted for. She would make them pay for hurting her so much.
“ You can't guess? It has been me from the very start. Cassandra, you are your father's daughter but stupid when it comes to love. you would have listened and called off the wedding, you weren't seeing things back then. your dead father had indeed left a confession but you were too naive to know”.
Cassandra could taste her blood. Yeah, she remembers her wedding like it happened yesterday, the letter warning her to be wary of Kelly and Frank, it had said to be from her father but sadly she lost him on the same day.
The wedding went ahead and the letter was thrown away. Everyone had convinced her that it was a kind of sabotage and distraction by the real murderer to hinder the police from investigating in the right direction.
Indeed everything had been done by Kelly and Frank. Oh, she felt so stupid to have trusted them. Everything was gone. They took everything of importance from her and her baby.
” Do you feel bad? you shouldn't. I nor Frank wouldn't have known of the letter if you had not brought it to us. You killed your father. You weren't remorseful as you married his murderer under the pretense of getting stature to investigate his murder even further.
Cassandra……. You have been a fool…… a fool for love” every word of Kelly stabbed right through her heart. All she felt at this moment was anger toward loving the wrong man.
Anger for allowing herself to fall so deep. She sought out love and vowed to protect those she loved…… seeing them right before her now, she should have protected herself against them.
“Make sure she drinks it before throwing her off the balcony. We do not want any chance of that thing she is carrying to survive” the words of Frank tore through her bones. The thing he was referring to nonchalantly was his blood.
That thing is his very own baby, that thing is part of him. Cassandra watched dreadfully as Kelly went to the kitchen Frantically searching for a knife.
It was now or never, she would not give them the Honor. She loved them but they loved what she came with. The house, the cars, the money would be theirs but not the pleasure of them taking credit for her death.
Cassandra dragged her limp body tiredly to the balcony railing. From there she could see the city's beauty emanating from below. The world indeed looked like its best at night-time.
“I should have known adopting a dog would be better than helping you two. Frank, all I ever thought was to love you. That was my mistake, my biggest mistake” Cassandra stepped back making Frank and Kelly halt in their attempts to get to her.
“Kelly ... .a sister I never had but now an enemy I could have avoided. Frank, You had promised me a life of love and a home to call my own, in this lifetime …now…I …. Realize you lied about everything Frank…. You lied
I will go ahead with my child now. Let it be our final farewell. Enjoy your peace while it lasts. I will be back even if I have to give my soul to Lucifer in exchange for it.. trust me I would”.
Cassandra left her limping fall breaking the glass barrier. From a view of a thousand pieces of glass falling alongside her body, she held onto her stomach, she could not promise her baby anything for she had nothing. Her swollen eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of hope, the right eyes and the right hands reaching out to her.
A silly smile played on her lips. His longing hands reached out to help, his eyes held desperation, love, and pain, yes she hurt him unknowingly.
He was watching from the 9th floor as he felt unable to help her. She knew that face. Carlson Cole. The rich single billionaire of the country and her father's most trusted ally.
She could still visualize their first meeting with a man of great affluence and charm. His charisma was enough to make any woman want him. Too bad she had been too deeply pulled into the wings of Frank, no one knows the love he held for her behind those cold eyes.
“A chance. To love what is worth and those deserving” is all she pleaded for desperately as darkness overwhelmed her broken body.
In a big fancy room within a grand hotel with a spectacular wedding venue, a beauty lay in bed tired from all the wedding preparations.She was long done with her makeup yet it Still was not time for her to walk down the aisle to the man of her dreams. She stares in her sleep distres written all over her. “No ..no” she cries out but no one is around to hear answers to her cries of pain. With turns of pain and displeasure, she jolts from her sleep screaming Frantically. “Oh my God ……..They……”hot tears flowed remembering what her best friend and husband did to her. She wakes up from the bed glancing around. something wasn't right. She felt familiar with everything yet so distant. She was dressed as a bride, in a beautiful white pearl wedding dress. It was her mother who had insisted on not buying another for her wedding ““A wedding” Cassandra half screams in horror and quickly dashes to her phone sitting on the makeup table. 22nd of October 2016 the calendar read. Cassandra stared
Cassandra's absence had not been suspected by any. While the Guests were arriving and taking their respective seats her supposed friend and finance were having fun. When she got back to her room, the letter had been placed. It was needless trying to find out who planted it. In her previous life, she had run through the rooms in the hotel like a mad person searching for that person. If she had not gone like a mad person, she would have noticed how Kelly desperately tried to control herself and fixed her hair. She had almost run into them. She had been crying too loud which attracted their attention. This time around she was not going to do such. “It's a pity that returning to 6 years prior has to be at the price of my baby the biggest price I have paid?” She comforts herself, since they won't be with them again, she will never get the chance to meet her baby. She glanced at the letter one last time before keeping it away. Carlson had been the one to handle everything after the pass
A loud gasp echoed all over the hall. I could see the smile disappear not only on the face of my supposed groom but that on my backstabbing best friend. Everyone was too stunned to speak, Kelly turned to me with crocodile tears. How well she plays the role of a best friend and a mistress at some time still baffles me, ‘’What did he do? Cassie, he loves you’’ did she love him that much to be ready to help him at any cost to achieve his goals? She persuaded me without waiting for an explanation. Oh, she loves him that much to be ready to help at all costs to get his goat? “Cassie I don't know what you're talking about I have no one beside you, I have never cheated on you'' Cassandra hissed in annoyance and yanked his hand away from hers. She was no longer the naive girl who believed everything said they cheated on her together yet they protested and acted like they loved her. How pathetic “Kelly ….. I know how much I have been hurt but nothing hurt more than seeing you fuck my fia
The ride back home was a quiet one, Cassandra was still to understand the events taking place in her life. Barely 24 hours she is back to 6 years, she is married to another while she watches the man she gave everything to stand at the altar in fake tears. She was not remorseful, but seeing him cry for her hurt when she knew it was only for show. Those tears were not from his heart, they pain her even more knowing everything they did was only for show. She was not going to be weak, it was over. ‘’We are here” Carlson announced. Cassandra had not been paying attention, she could not tell what part of the city they were in. The ride seemed short, but that was far from the case. Living in the best of estates in the country, Red Valley estates were the most expensive and exquisite. “‘Wow”’ was all Cassandra could say as she stepped out of the car. She was not from a poor background and her home did belong to the second finest part of the country and held one of the best designs. But ev
It's been hours since hours since Carlson left for the office and Cassandra has been in their room not knowing what to do. She had a long shower, trying to get her thoughts together.Her phone has been going off for hours. Frank and Kelly were not the only ones calling, the police were calling and so were a few relatives. Going back home to face the truth of her father's death was something she had not prepared herself for.‘’If only I had come a day earlier... A day was all it would have taken to save him’’ she laments. Alex and Tessa stood by the door. Alex was more cold than his female companion Tessa who was more of a chatterbox.She was a good spy and very good at walking her way out of situations with her charms and smile playing over the intelligence of others. The reason for both of them being the chosen ones was not far-fetched. They did not only hold high ranks, but they were like Human shields. Dedication was what they gave to their job.‘’Mistress’’ Tessa called from outsi
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 year
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
