FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 22: Cracks in the Heart
Cassian’s POVThe house had been too lonely and boring lately, almost like it was punishing me.Every morning, Evelyn would leave early, Soraya would follow after with her usual energy, and then... silence.Evelyn told me Arielle was studying hard for her exams, spending more time in the library, staying late on campus, and eating in her room because she didn’t want distractions. Evelyn was so proud of her.I wanted to believe that, but I already knew the reason.Ever since that trip, I knew I had to forget her—again. But this time, it wasn’t about me trying to move on; it was about saving her from me. I was the one breaking her, piece by piece, and I could see it happening every time she looked at me with less light in her eyes.I didn’t want to be the reason she failed her exams or, worse, the reason she started to hate everything she once loved—including me. I didn’t want to become that person—the one she wished dead, the one she could never forgive. So I kept my distance, and ever

FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 19: Destroying their chances
Cassian's POV “Are you okay? You look spaced out,” Evelyn asked as she walked toward me, her wet hair sticking to her shoulders, drops of water glistening on her skin.I forced a short nod. “I’m fine,” I answered in a low tone.The truth? I wasn’t. Not even close. Arielle’s reaction earlier cut through me deeper than I expected. I thought this trip would lighten her mood and give her something to smile about. But all I saw was the opposite—her eyes looked heavier, her steps slower. She’d walked away from me like I was a stranger she wanted nothing to do with, and I could do nothing about it.I clenched my jaw and stared out at the ocean, trying to focus on anything else, but all I could picture was her back disappearing into the crowd.“Come, dear,” Evelyn said, breaking my thoughts. She reached for my hand, her voice light and persuasive. “Have a dive with me. The water isn’t that cold.”I pulled my hand back gently but firmly. “I’ll join you later,” I replied simply.Her smile fade
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 19: Waves, Strangers, and Trouble
Arielle's POV I woke to the sound of Soraya’s voice shouting across the room.“Arielle! Are you awake yet? We need to pick out our beach outfits!”I groaned, turning over, wishing I could sink back into the soft, warm mattress. The hotel room was amazing, and after last night’s dinner—fresh seafood, tropical fruits, and desserts I couldn’t even name—I’d slept like a log. But apparently, Soraya had decided that early mornings were perfect for her mission of beach preparation.I squinted at the sunlight streaming through the curtains and saw Soraya bouncing on her feet, already half-dressed in a bright, tropical outfit.“Seriously, Raya? It’s barely morning,” I muttered, dragging myself out of bed.“Exactly why we have to start now!” she said, throwing open the suitcase she’d already unpacked. “Look at all these swimsuits I brought!”I plopped down on the chair beside the mirror, ignoring her for a moment. The room had a huge wall-length mirror, and sunlight bounced off the polished fl
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 18: Setting the Scene
Arielle’s POV“Are you sure everything’s packed?” Mom asked again, sounding like a child on Christmas morning as Soraya and I climbed into the back of Cassian’s car.Cassian was already in the driver’s seat, and Mom had claimed the spot beside him, practically bouncing in place.“Yes, Mother, everything is packed. So let’s go!” Soraya answered cheerfully, leaning forward between the seats.“Are you sure you haven’t forgotten anything?” Cassian asked, glancing at us in the rearview mirror.I lowered my eyes to my lap, refusing to meet his gaze.“Of course everything’s there,” Soraya answered before I could open my mouth. “I even double-checked with Arielle before we came out.”A beat of silence passed before he spoke again. “Alright then, buckle up.”I sighed quietly, plugged in my earphones, and turned my attention to the window as the car rolled out of the driveway.I still couldn’t believe Mom had managed to drag me into this so-called “family weekend vacation."She’d come into my ro
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 17: A Weekend Worth Waiting For
Cassian’s POV“Welcome back, my dear beloved wife,” I said the moment Evelyn stepped through the door.I’d heard the sound of an engine pulling into the driveway and, without thinking, I left what I was doing to check. My chest tightened when I saw her step out of the car, her hair slightly windblown and her eyes tired.It was her.I leaned in and pressed a quick peck to her cheek, my hand sliding naturally to take her handbag.“Did you miss me that much?” she asked, one brow raised as if she were teasing, but her voice carried a faint weariness.“Of course,” I replied smoothly, the lie rolling off my tongue. I didn’t love her in that way—but I played the part, holding her hand in my free one as we moved inside.“How was work?” I asked, trying to sound light.She let out a short, dry laugh. “Tiresome. My boss is even greedier for power than I thought. Today, he tried to introduce me to one of his friends from another country. Can you imagine? He knows I’m married, but still…” She shoo
