Why is Mathias gets protective over Cassie? Is Emily starting to suspect them?!
“Look.” Mathias takes a deep breath and finds a reasonable explanation to persuade Emily. “You are making this situation more complex than it's already been.” He speaks with a matter of fact tune. “Let’s not drag other people into our family bullshit.” Emily eyes him with heated cheeks, she doesn't like it when Mathias uses cursing words. Still, she seems convinced about Mathias’s concerns. Turning around, she walks toward the seating area while hitting her high heels onto the wooden floor. “It’s not anyone’s issue but Chris’s. Our daughter has nothing to do with-” “With her fiancé?” Mathias asks with disbelief, following her. He would admire Emily’s unlimited denial ability if the woman doesn’t use it against him as well. “Ex, fiancé.” Emily emphasizes the word ex while she sits on the couch. “It’s Chris’s mistake screwing this and he will pay for it all alone.” She slides her ass toward the armrest to give Mathias space near her side. Crossing her long legs, Emily makes the slit
Mathias grits his teeth, furious at the sight in his living room.His wife is bullying Cassie for who knows what reason, and the girl is stepping back uncomfortably.When Emily mentioned about Cassie having an affair with Chris, he nonchalantly told her to let it go. But clearly, the stubborn woman didn’t listen to Mathias and brought the poor girl into their house to interrogate her.He knows why his wife went this far.Emily is like an ambitious cat. If she wants something, she claws her way through the obstacles. Even if Mathias rejects her till the end, Emily always gets what she wants. On the other hand, when he is early to sense his wife is about to get annoying and looks for something to attack, Mathias would feed her with her favorite things. So, she would get calm without any harm for a while, till the next time she gets, um, gets crusty -Mathias’s words.He hasn’t deprived her of the things she loves for months. Money? She got her seasonal check last month. Check. Accessor

She follows the woman in timid silence and
Emily Raptis is standing there with all her fascination. The burgundy dress hugs her alluring curves, and the golden accessories complete her look with effortless elegance. Her caramel-toned skin looks more tanned than usual, like she has been sunbathing somewhere.Last night, Cassie thought that she could keep ignoring this cruel woman’s threats since Mathias had sent her away. Now, she is in shock to see Mrs. Raptis standing right in front of her all of a sudden.A few hours ago, she was confident about Emily for the first time in her life. However, her confidence just evaporates when she sees the woman unexpectedly. “Hello, Cassie.” Emily Raptis greets her with an emotionless voice. “H…” She opens her mouth to answer but can’t find her voice. God, such a coward she is! Where was that confidence coming from last night, for real?!Suddenly, all the memories with the woman’s husband from last night flash through Cassie’s mind in a second. How they were making out near the wine table
On the right side of Cassie’s neck, there is a giant hickey with tiny teeth marks, along with purple dots within its boundaries. Did her mother see it? God, did Hazel and her grandmother see it?!She rapidly scans the memories of last night and remembers that she had her hair down and covering her neck at Hazel’s house.Thank God.And earlier, when her mother was inside her room, she was lying down on her right side on the bed.Again, thank God.She touches the tender skin of her neck and watches her reflection in the mirror. Remembering that exact steamy second Mathias brutally bit her neck when he came as his muscled body crushed hers, Cassie blushes like a fresh tomato. Her breathing quickens as she caresses the purple mark with the tip of her fingers. Biting her lower lip, she suddenly misses his hold around her body. The possessiveness of his gestures when he was taking her made Cassie feel more feminine than ever. She wasn’t a naive virgin before him, of course, but somehow, Ma
Cassie is walking on the street with a bag full of frozen coconut slices in her hand. Hazel's grandma insisted Cassie take as much she can carry as and try her Buko Pie recipe at the first opportunity. If Cassie can't follow the recipe, she is always welcome to their house to try grandma’s pie anytime. They are the nicest people she has ever met, for real. Remembering their hospitality, Cassie reaches the garden of her home with a warm smile. While getting in, she glimpses at the house across the street, the place that witnessed her night full of sin and forbidden pleasure with its landlord. Her smile freezes as she shivers and her heart pounds at the memories of those passionate minutes. Swallowing the lump in her throat, she turns around and walks inside the garden, toward the patio. When she was a high school girl who was doing desperate yoga shows there to catch that cerebral man’s attention, Cassie would never guess her teenage dreams could become real one day. Now, as a g
