FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 123: The Cruelest Goodbye ( Part 2 )
Cassian's POV Her education. Her mother's job. Her sister's future. Everything he could destroy if I refused to obey him. So I did the only thing I believed would keep her safe. I pushed her away. She stumbled backward and fell to the ground. My entire body screamed at me to move. To help her. But I stood there. She hissed in pain and looked down at her bruised hand with widened eyes. I clenched my fists. "Are you stupid?" I asked coldly. She shifted her gaze toward me. For a moment, I saw the hurt in her eyes. Then she stood up and forced another smile. "I'm sorry. I stumbled by accident." Her soft words pierced my heart. I felt like the worst human being on earth as I fought to keep my emotions under control. "What the fuck do you want from me?" I asked coldly. She looked shocked. "I... I just..." Her voice shook. "You didn't call, and your line was off. I was worried..." I clenched my hands harder. I wanted to embrace her. I wanted to tell her everything t
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 122: The Cruelest Goodbye ( Part 1 )
Cassian's POVI looked at the files on my desk with a deep sigh."Fuck," I muttered as I brushed my hand through my hair.Everything felt wrong.I felt like shit.I couldn't sleep throughout the night because the images of my weekend with Ari kept playing in my mind, along with my father's words.He truly was a powerful man, capable of making her life a living hell.Was I selfish enough to let her go through all that pain because of me?No, I wasn't.Was I helpless enough that I couldn't do anything to help her?No, I wasn't.But still, a part of me felt that it was worth it to let her go, even if it hurt like hell.I couldn't even bring myself to explain anything to her.The only reasonable thing I could do to protect her was block her line.It was a weak and pathetic move. I knew that.But I couldn't stop myself.Even when tears ran down my cheeks, I still did it.The tears I was shedding weren't only because of the hurt I had been holding back from dealing with my Parents. Everythi
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 121: The Call That Broke My Heart ( Part 2 )
Arielle's POVI sighed and gently moved his hands away.I wanted to tell him everything.I wanted to tell him how amazing my weekend had been.How my boyfriend and I had grown closer. How he had kissed me.How I believed we were finally getting somewhere.But I couldn't."Well, my weekend wasn't all that," I answered softly.Darren's expression immediately changed."Would you like to go to a movie with me this coming weekend?"I looked at him."Or better still, I could invite you over to my place. We could spend some time together. My cars are classic, and my room is legendary."I quickly took a few steps back.Absolutely not.I knew Darren had feelings for me. I couldn't encourage him, especially now.Anything that could interfere with my future relationship with Cassian was something I had to avoid."I appreciate the invitation, but I'll have to decline," I said with the best smile I could manage. "I spend every weekend with my family. It's a family tradition."It was a lie.But it
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 120: The Call That Broke My Heart ( Part 1 )
Arielle's POVI reached home feeling very happy and content.The moment I stepped through the door, Mom came running toward me and pulled me into a tight hug as if I had been gone for months instead of just a day."Mom, enough," I said playfully as I tried to pull away.She finally released me and looked at me from head to toe before smiling."You've fattened up in just a few days," she joked."You mean a day," I whispered, then rolled my eyes and walked past her as she followed behind me, complaining about how lonely she had been and how much she had missed me.I couldn't help but laugh. That was Mom, alright. Always dramatic whenever she missed me or Soraya.Once I reached my room, I dropped my suitcase beside the bed and turned to face her when she walked in behind me."Mom, why aren't you at work?" I asked seriously."It's the weekend. Sunday, remember?""Right," I muttered.My eyes immediately went to my phone.I wanted to call Cassian, but I didn't want to do it while Mom was ar
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 119: Cut All Ties
Cassian's POVI had a smile on my face even as I drove back to my parents' house after receiving their call.My time with Ari kept replaying in my mind.Her laughter.The way she had held my hand.And most importantly, the way she had casually called me her husband.Just thinking about it made my heart flutter.I really wanted to be the one to drop her home. I wanted to see her safely walk inside and perhaps stay outside for a few minutes just talking to her.But after receiving the call from Rudolph, I had changed my mind.Whatever my parents wanted seemed urgent enough for Rudolph to call me himself.So I called my driver, who had been trailing behind us, and asked him to take Ari home.She looked unhappy for a few seconds.That expression on her face almost made me change my mind again.But then she smiled as though it was nothing.Before stepping out of my car, she leaned toward me.I had expected her to say goodbye.Instead, she kissed my cheek.It was brief, but enough to leave
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 118: Losing Control
CASSIAN'S POV"Did you see that woman on the road?" Ari asked with a laugh.Of course, I had.It was hard not to notice her when she was practically forcing the man beside her to dance with her in the middle of the road.I glanced at Ari and shook my head with a small smile."I did."She laughed again, and somehow the sound made the drive feel less awkward.Since we had decided to leave the villa, something between us had changed.The wall I had spent so much time building had cracked.I could feel it.I was no longer constantly reminding myself to keep my distance from her. I still tried, but it was becoming harder with every passing minute.I even found myself holding back words that might hurt her, even when they were the truth.Maybe it was because I had seen how easily her smile disappeared whenever I became cold.Or maybe it was simply because I didn't want to be the reason she looked sad.I was still lost in my thoughts when her hand moved to my thigh.My body immediately tense
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 6: Trapped in thoughts
Arielle’s POVI lay on my bed, exhaling deeply as if I had been holding my breath for days. The walls of my bedroom had always felt familiar, like a shield—but now they felt like a trap.It was very late, yet I couldn't hear anyone's voice. Usually, Evelyn and Raya were noisy whenever they came int
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 5. Under the steamy shower
Arielle’s POVI lay on my bed, tangled in sheets that I couldn't bring myself to fix. My mind was restless, and my heart beat louder than ever.Cassian.That name had become a curse for me.Every time I blinked, it was him I saw. The way he moved and smirked whenever things went his way. The way hi
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 4: Confession in the Dark
Arielle's POV A few days had gone by, and I was trying my very best to ignore and avoid Cassian. Raya was now usually coming home late, and her excuse was, "I'm doing two shifts since my bestie Kayla sometimes goes to take care of her sick mother." I understood her, but I also felt very uncomfor
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 3: To Close for Comfort
Arielle's POV"Better," I said to myself as I looked in the mirror.After breakfast and taking a bath, I felt refreshed, and since classes were starting later, I had an hour or so to myself."What to do?" I whispered as I turned and looked at my bed.Instantly, I smirked and rushed to grab my phone
