FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 85:A World That Isn't Ours
Arielle’s POVI stood quietly, watching Soraya as she spoke to Angelina in a low tone.The moment we arrived, the sky had already dimmed into evening, and the place was glowing with soft golden lights that made everything look… beautiful and different.Angelina had been waiting for us at the entrance.She greeted Soraya like they were close, as if they had known each other for years instead of barely speaking.And when her eyes landed on me,I felt it.The shift that was followed by a silent judgment.Her eyes said it all. She was silently questioning who the hell I was and why I was there.“And she is…?” she asked with a polite smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes.“My little sister, Arielle. She’ll be helping us around.”The moment Soraya said that, Angelina’s expression changed.It was quick, almost too quick to notice if I wasn't paying attention.But I saw it.The warmth disappeared, and her smile faltered.And before I could even react, she grabbed Soraya’s hand and pulled her
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 84: Forced to dress and go
Cassian’s POV I didn’t even realize how late it had gotten until the door to my office swung open without a knock. Only one person did that. “Tell me you didn’t forget.” I didn’t even look up from the file in my hand. “Get out.” Slash chuckled as he walked in. “No, seriously,” he said, stopping in front of my desk. “Don’t tell me you forgot about the wine party.” I sighed and dropped the file on the desk before finally looking at him. The damn bastard looked like he was already ready to attend a damn fashion show. He had on a fitted black suit tailored perfectly to his body, with a crisp white shirt underneath. The top two buttons were undone, like he was trying too hard to look effortless. His hair was styled neatly, slightly pushed back, and his shoes were polished enough to reflect my irritated face. “You look ridiculous,” I muttered. “And you look like a man who is about to ruin a very important connection,” he shot back. “I’m not going.” He blinked.“W
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 83: A Risk Worth Taking
Soraya’s POV I dragged my suitcase onto the bed and unzipped it, a smile slowly spreading across my face as I began pulling clothes from my wardrobe. I didn’t even know why I was smiling this much. Maybe it was excitement. Maybe it was hope. Or maybe… it was just the feeling that something... anything... was finally going to change. Because for once, life wasn’t just about surviving. It felt like an opportunity. A real one. Still… I paused, holding a dress in my hands. “What if it’s a scam?” I muttered under my breath. Angelina and I weren’t exactly best friends. Back in high school, I had friends. Real ones. People I laughed with, studied with, and even shared secrets with. Angelina… She was just there. She was loud, pretty, and very friendly. She was also always surrounded by attention. And always using people when it suited her. Even after graduation, we barely spoke unless she needed something.So when she called me out of nowhere asking if I wa
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 82: The Third Wheel
Slash’s POV I still couldn’t believe this bastard had dragged me along. A whole dinner. A whole damn *date*. And not just any date—one with a high-class heiress whose name alone could move markets. I had no say in it. Absolutely none. The moment we stepped into the restaurant, I already knew who owned the place. The place screamed money, from the lighting to the quiet music, even the way the staff moved like they were trained to breathe in elegance. And then there was her. Tricia. She stood up the moment she saw us, surprise flickering across her face when her eyes landed on me. But just as quickly, it vanished, replaced by a perfect smile. Exactly what you would expect from someone of her status. “Cassian,” she greeted warmly before shifting her gaze to me. “And… Mr. Johnson. I’m glad you could make it.” Like I was *invited*. I forced a polite smile. “The pleasure is mine.” It wasn’t! Not even a little.We took our seats, and from that moment on, I knew
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 81: An Unwanted Guest
Cassian’s POV “You look very distracted. Are you okay?” Slash asked, his tone softer than usual as he leaned back in his chair across from me. I sighed and straightened in my seat, rolling my shoulders as if that alone could shake off the weight sitting on my chest. “Have you ever felt like everything going on in your life… isn’t how it’s supposed to be?” I asked, my voice low, almost careless. He smirked immediately, as if I had just handed him a joke. “Absolutely,” he said, nodding. “Because I know for a fact I wasn’t meant to inherit shit from my parents. If they had a second child, that life would be his, and I’d be somewhere traveling the world, drinking expensive liquor and flirting with danger.” I gave him a murderous glare. “What?” he asked, raising a brow. “That’s not what I mean,” I muttered. What he felt was completely different. He felt trapped in a life he didn’t want. I… I felt like I was in the wrong one entirely.Like something was missing. Like
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 80: The Arrangement
Cassian’s POV I was about to shut my laptop and finally call it a night when my phone buzzed loudly on my desk. “Yeah?” I answered coldly, already regretting the interruption. “Cassian, your parents insist you come home immediately,” Rudolph's voice said. “It’s important. No further details.” I ran a hand through my hair. It was late. I was exhausted. I hadn’t slept properly in two nights. The thought of leaving the office, letting all the pending files sit while I handled some vague parental scheme, filled me with a mixture of frustration and dread. “Fine,” I muttered. “I’m leaving.” By the time I pulled into the driveway, my mood had worsened. More cars than usual were parked outside. Guards I hadn’t seen before lined the path to the front door. The extra lights reflecting off polished vehicles made my stomach twist. Something was definitely up. Rudolph opened the door before I could, lowering his voice as I stepped in. “Sir… uphold the family manners tonight. Your p

Arielle’s POV“Here we are,” Mom announced happily as soon as we stepped out of the car.Her voice sounded lighter than usual, as if she were trying to convince herself more than anyone else. I didn’t question it; I just nodded and rushed toward the door with a smile already tugging at my lips.Hom

Cassian’s POV“Go on,” the man said firmly as we stopped outside the mansion gates.I turned to look at him. “You haven’t asked what she likes this whole time,” I pointed out. “I didn’t tell you a single thing.”He exhaled slowly, gripping the steering wheel. “I know. Hopefully, there will be a nex

Cassian’s POV“Cassian,” the man said as soon as we stepped out of the car, “how do you even know this place?”I didn’t answer him right away.The entire drive here, he had been singing—loud, careless, and off-key. It grated on my nerves, but I welcomed the silence once we arrived. I needed it, eve
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 58: Where I Shouldn’t Be Wanting to Go
Cassian’s POV“Young master.”Rudolph’s voice came from the other side of my door as I turned in my bed for what felt like the hundredth time.Sleep refused to come back to me.The dream clung to my mind like mist that wouldn’t lift, no matter how tightly I shut my eyes. By five in the morning, I h
