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 fiance. I don't have time for games just get away from me”. Cassandra's voice was calm and patient; the guests were all shocked as they stared at the both of them. With questionable eyes
”What nonsense are you spouting Cassie“ I am your best friend Kelly cried yes she used to be but not anymore. Everything was on live TV, thanks to stepmother Laura Williams now the world was seeing who the two backstabbers were for real. Frank tries grabbing Cassandra but she pulls away from his reach.
’’I gave you all you ever wanted. I was the one to nurture your dreams and this is what you pay me back with? Why didn't I see this coming? I was there when no one was, I believed in you and made your problems mine. I know I had sleepless nights when you were not okay.
How can this all happen? You have always supported her and taken her side in everything, at first I thought it was just because she looked pitiful but how could I have known you were busy fucking her behind my back, how could I not see how much you love her?’’ Cassandra held on to the hem of her dress dragging it before the projector.
‘’You got nothing to prove Cassie. Why not stop now? You know Frank will still get married to you even with the show you are putting up”’ Every Word from Kelly’s mouth only fielded Cassandra's anger even more. Yes, he was still going to wed her because he needed something, they were both ready to wrap everything under dozens of papers just so they could get their hands on her wealth. 6 years of her life would not be wasted yet again.
‘’He loves you and you know it,’’ Kelly added. Every word from her mouth was fast pushing Cassandra to have her head banged to the cold hard tiles filled with white petals till it was all red and bloody.
‘’Show me the evidence you have that I am cheating with your man? Cassandra Willaims we have been friends for such a long time and I do believe some jokes have ended.
You better stop and continue with your wedding or if you are calling it off do not use me as a way out of it’’ Kelly lashed out angrily, Cassandra was enjoying just how good she was at acting. Seeing the both of them comfort each other despite her claims was enough to make her want to destroy them to bits.
‘’Evidence, well that's not hard since I have tons of it. Which do you want us to watch first, the night you fucked him in my room? Or better still the night you fucked him when we were on a business trip.
Well, it's okay I'm better… why don't we watch the most recent which was only a few minutes ago, I sent you to call on him and check if he is okay. Still, I do not remember telling you to check up on his dick did I?’’ Cassandra stood by the monitor as she manipulated it.
‘’Baby please… don't do this you know I love you the most’’ Frank pleaded as he pushed her away from the monitor. Every word she said was too accurate. For her not to know what she was talking about. Seeing him with another will destroy his life and that of the woman he loves most. Frank was not willing to let anything happen to his mistress.
‘’Why? I know you don't want me to play it, but youre rather too stupid to think I won't have thought of this.’’ Cassandra smirked, taking out the control from underneath her dress. Frank and Kelly had no time to react as their moans filled the air. Everyone watched with shock and amusement.
‘’What is this, take it down. Babe I can explain, take this down’’ Frank screamed at the staff but no one knew how it was played. Kelly tried her best to disconnect everything while Cassandra just stood still and watched them. It was finally time she let them know she was not going to go down that path again.
Their paths were certainly going to cross again. Now she had no best friend but enemies, she just made herself known to her enemies. Crashing sounds came from the front, a flock of cars of every brand and color lined outside.
Everyone gave way as a man stepped out. Carlson Cobswell stepped out taking a quance before walking inside as guards guarded his path. The most desirable bachelor in the country, every lady wants him.
While others fainted at the mere sight of him, some drooled uncontrollably. Kelly and Frank stood not knowing what was happening. Extending his hands to his bride, Cassandra smiled proudly.
“‘Time for play is up Mrs Cobswell, hubby is here for you’’ Cassandra blushed hard as their hands touched, he was indeed a gentle man. Taking one glance at the cheating couple Cassandra gave them a last warning.
“Cheaters will never have happily ever after’’
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
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.

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
