"Sit down," he said as he sat down.
I nodded sitting across from him.
He typed something on his phone and then opened a drawer from his big desk, which I couldn't stop admiring, it was a folder with a couple of papers in them.
"Did you enjoy dinner last night?" he asked reading through the papers.
I nodded "Yes, it was delicious."
He hummed in response "After breakfast I want you to shower and get ready, we are going to the city."
I frowned "What city?"
"somewhere where no one knows you," he said before sighing.
"O-okay" I stuttered scratching my wrist. When he finished reading the papers in front of him someone knocked on the door and he pressed something on the screen of his phone to open it. "Good morning," he said greeting the old man.
"Daniel," the old man said setting down the big tray betwe
Once upon a time is a cliche easy start to start a love story of a CEO falling for a girl but here we are...Today I’m getting married to the CEO who is known for his bad reputation, but for me, he’s the saint in disguise. And I couldn't believe I’m getting married to that guy with a bad reputation. Who is a little bit older than me, and has insatiable habits regardless of this I fell head over heels. Anyway, let’s start with the beginning. (Three years EARLIER) “Cassandra Williams” The Dean of the university announced my name, his strong English accent present and intimidating. I got up, smiling, I went towards the stage, my last name starts with W so like always I’m one of the last ones up. I approached the stage, ascending the three stairs successfully, I accepted my graduation certificate and the handshake offered. I then heard cheering and wolf whistles f
~CASSANDRA WILLIAMS ~ When we made it back to our Dorm we stripped down and began to get ready, I didn't really have much to wear, in my whole time at University I never really had time to go out so I am not used to the party scene. It’s also one of the things my brothers made as a condition of me going to uni alone, no wild parties, and no drinking excessively. I was fine with that though, preferring to study and learn. Cindy on the other hand loves a good party and dressing up. She has a flair for fashion. “So Cassandra, you going to tell me what happened when you wandered off today?” Cindy asked as we ate roman noodles for dinner on the couch, that's as far as both of our culinary skills go.
~ CASSANDRA WILLIAMS ~ I walked the 25 minutes to the coffee shop, I felt awful but that will serve me right for drinking I suppose. it's cool out and I wish I'd brought my jacket. I had worked at the Cafe for three years, the two girls who own the shop are lovely and are really good to me, I enjoyed working there, it's always so busy though, which makes the day go faster. My job was to serve the customers and put orders in. I'm glad I don't have to make the food or coffee, I’m terrible at it. It’s my last shift today and it will be a bitter-sweet one. “There she is, Miss Graduate,” Alice says smiling as I enter the back room behind the counter. I smiled in response.
~ CASSANDRA~I was so upset about what happened back in Michael’s penthouse that I nearly lived like a sloth for two days in my brother’s house. Yes, I’m in my brother’s home, the last thing I wanted on this earth because we need to vacant the dorm in which I was living with Cindy. We had planned to directly take a flight to London on the same day we would leave the dorm so that we would not have to run back to our houses like rats. But because of that idiot Michale I ruined my mood and ended up refusing Cindy to take a flight with her to London. Thanks to god she didn’t ask me anything, however, she told me to meet her in the apartment which her parents had given her as the graduation present which you guys already know about, right? We had planned everything but at the last moment I ditched, I know she might be cursing at me, and yeah I deserve it for dit
~ CASSANDRA~ <AFTER A WEEK> It’s been a week and I’ve settled down in London without having any contact with that idiot Michale Santorum and If I say it honestly I’m really liking this place. And my brother has come to meet me here and now we are having breakfast together. “So Cassy, I had an interesting call last night” Izan pipes up. “Oh,” I asked, ``please don't have anything to do with Michale,” I prayed inwardly... “Yeah, Michale Santorum, he’s one of my clients,” Izan said. “Great,” I mumbled as I could see where this conversation was heading, I sighed and leaned back in my chair. “What did he wa
~ MICHAEL~I watched her go and felt my heart aching, how did I manage to fuck that up. I hit the side ofthe car door in frustration.“Michael?” my guard Robert asks from the front seat as he opens the partition.“Put someone on watch” I ordered him still with my eyes on where Cassandra walked away, Robert Nods, and went to make a call as he drove off towards my apartment. I put the partition up in the car again and took out my phone. He dials my brother's number and he picks up on the third ring.“Hey Mike, you okay?” Eren asks as he answers.Eren is my older brother, he’s married with two daughters and I adore them.
“Not a smart idea to argue sweetheart, see you in twenty,” Michael said and hung up on me before I could say anything. I looked at my phone surprised, I can't deny I like it when Michael calls me those pet names when he asserts his dominance. I sigh, I decided to get up and dress in black skinny jeans, a red sweater, and put my shoes on my feet. I grabbed my side purse and put it sideways on my neck and phone and made my way into the Lounge. Cindy has a friend from work over and they are laughing over something, whilst drinking wine.“Cass?” Cindy said her friend Logan Looked at me and I didn’t miss how his eyes linger.“I'm just going out for a while,” I said.“Huh, where to, with who?’ Cindy asked, giving me the third degree.
~ AUTHOR'S POV~Cassandra wakes in a panic, a bad dream, she always has them when she's stressed out or getting sick. She is disorientated and doesn't know where she is, she's never seen this room before. Michael is on alert and wakes by the sound of Cassandra crying out, he rushes in instantly and sees Cassandra sitting up in bed struggling for breath, she's sweaty and Michael can tell she's had a bad dream.Cassandra relaxes a little when she sees Michael barge into the room, of course, she's at Michael’s, she tries her hardest to calm herself down.“Cassandra, hey, sweetheart you're okay,” Michael says worriedly.He's over at Cassandra’s side in an instant, wiping her sweaty fringe off her forehead.
