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
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 79: A Home That Doesn’t Feel the Same
Arielle’s POV By the time we got home, my body felt heavier than it should have. Not because of the injury, but because of everything else. Soraya helped me inside carefully, her arm wrapped around my waist as if I would collapse at any moment. “I can walk, you know,” I muttered weakly. “I know,” she said softly. “But let me do this anyway.” We stepped into the house quietly. For a moment, everything felt… normal. And somehow, that made it worse. “Go sit,” Soraya said, guiding me toward the couch. “I’ll get you water.” I nodded and lowered myself carefully, biting back a wince as my knee throbbed. The pain was there, but it was nothing compared to what I felt inside. Each time Cassian’s words replayed in my head, I felt like I had lost everything. Going back in time felt like my punishment for whatever sin I had committed. I also felt like a part of my heart was being stabbed by an invisible dagger, over and over. I swallowed hard and looked away.Here,” Sora

Cassian’s POV “Sir, where to?” the driver asked the moment I stepped into the car.I didn’t answer immediately.Instead, my gaze swept the street outside the company building: left, right, across the pavement, near the gates.There was no sign of the crazy woman.“Sir?” the driver repeated gently

Arielle’s POV I stood outside the company gates like a fool.Tears streamed down my cheeks no matter how hard I tried to blink them away. The guards had already gone back inside, and the lobby doors were closed. People walked past me as if I were invisible.Cassian had been right there.Right in
FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME 71 : The Ache of a Stranger
Cassian’s POV “I don’t get why you would come to my office today yet again. Are you trying to annoy me?” I asked Slash playfully as we stepped out of the elevator.He chuckled, adjusting his cufflinks. “Please. If I don’t check on you, you’ll marry your work and forget the rest of the world exists
