Cassie excused herself from Cassie stepped away from the very busy backstage area, feeling overwhelmed by the amount of attention she was getting.

The thought of starting over way exciting. She was thrilled about her new role as CFO of Rhetts and was determined to make the most of it.

She scrolled through her phone seeing all the congratulatory messages from people who had previously ghosted her or 'lost touch'.

There were texts from old college friends, former colleagues, and business acquaintances who had suddenly reappeared after months of silence.

Cassie couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions - annoyance, frustration, and even a bit of amusement. She let out a low hiss and muttered under her breath as she scrolled through the messages.

But then, nestled among the numerous congratulatory texts, she saw a message from her father, Payne.

Her heart skipped a beat as she read the text from her father: [Can we talk?]

Cassie was hit a mix of emotions: excitement and fear. What did h

    "We need to come up with a plan," Arden said. "We can't just let the Silverwoods dictate what happens to Savannah. What kind of person demands something like that? He has you in a hostage situation Cassie.""I agree," Warren said. "But the Silverwoods are proving themselves to be powerful and ruthless. Just think about what Trent's going to do when he gets out. Plus Savannah did commit those crimes, and as you said, she isn't your friend."Cora nodded. "I think we should try to gather more information. Who exactly is behind this? Is it Ross, or is there someone else pulling the strings?""It was definitely Ross' voice. He's definitely stuck. I'm sure working me was the last option. He must have gone through all the motions and realized that.""You made sure there were no loopholes," Arden brushed a frustrated hand through his hair, "What now? He knew you would falter if he tugged at your heart strings!""What are you trying to say Arden?" Cassie inhaled deeply."Nothing Cassie. I'm s

    A WEEK LATERCassie was busy unpacking boxes and putting away dishes in her new kitchen. Cora sat on the couch, tears streaming down her face."I'm going to miss you so much," Cora sobbed. Her voice was shaking.Cassie walked over to Cora and sat down beside her, putting a comforting arm around her shoulders. "I'll miss you too, Cora. But I'll just be a few blocks away. We can hang out all the time."Arden and Warren were moving furniture into the living room, trying to stay out of the way of the emotional moment. Arden caught Warren's eye and raised an eyebrow, both of them trying not to smile at Cora's dramatics.Warren mouthed "drama queen" to Arden, who chuckled and shook his head. Cora sniffled and wiped her nose with a tissue. "It's not just that you'll be far away, Cassie. It's that this is the end of an era. We've been roommates for so long, and now you're moving on to a new chapter in your life."Cassie hugged Cora tightly. "First of all, it was five months Cora. Secondly,

  • His Regret: I'm with his uncle now    Chapter 38- A fancy prison

    It had been a week since Trent was in custody but he was in a fancy prison cell. They had applied for bail multiple times but their bail request kept getting canceled. So they opted for the next best thing, a boujee house arrest. Trent was sitting on the soft couch in the beach house, staring out the window at the ocean, which was a much more pleasant view than the one he would have had if he were still in jail.He couldn't go back home for obvious reasons. His lawyers had been able to arrange for him to be placed under house arrest at the beach house, which was a much more comfortable and luxurious environment than a jail cell.The beach house was fully staffed, with a personal chef, maid, and security team, and Trent had access to a private gym, pool, and outdoor lounge area.Despite the luxurious surroundings, Trent was getting restless and anxious to clear his name and get back to his normal life.His lawyers were working hard to prepare his defense, but the wait was agonizing f

    "Wait, so you're talking me you got nothing?" "Handsome guy is smart. Why would you think he'd keep anything inside the Hauler." *A "Hauler Lounge" is a term typically used in the context of NASCAR racing. It refers to a luxury lounge or hospitality area located within the hauler. The Hauler Lounge is usually equipped with amenities such as comfortable seating, food and beverage service, and entertainment systems* Cassie sighed exasperatedly, "You know. I was really counting on him being stupid. You know what I risked setting that stupid Corvette on fire." "Don't act like you didn't enjoy it!" Cora chided. "Can you not talk about someone else's looks in front of me?" Warren chimed into the conversation. "Good morning to you too War." Cassie smiled, "Wait, is that my moisterizer you're using." Cassie asked as she stared deeply into the phone. Warren cleared his throat, "Wait, is that my house you're sleeping in? And is that my best friend you're sleeping with?" He as

    Cassie pushed Trent away, her voice firm. "Get off me, Trent. You're too close."Trent's eyes narrowed, but he took a step back, giving Cassie some space.Cassie turned and walked back into the main area, where she was met with a shocking scene. Ross was pulling Ivy who was frantically screaming, away from Arden. Harris had managed to throw the knife onto the floor. "This isn't what you promised, Rossie!" Ivy cried, her words were dissolving into incoherent sobs.Cassie's eyes widened as she took in the scene. She was confused and curious at the same time. What was going on?Did Ross also know Ivy? As she watched, Cassie's mind began to wander back to the day Arden saved her from permanent humiliation. She remembered how surprised Trent had been to see Arden at the restaurant. And then there was the way Arden had talked to Harris, with such familiarity.Now, Ivy was acting like she knew Ross. What connected them all? Cassie felt like she was missing a piece of the puzzle, and she

    "Cassie, are you insane?" Trent asked but there was no response. The fire just kept increasing. Then one of the workers came with a hose and tried to put it out. "Can someone get that girl in the back of a police van?" Bridget yelled, "She's obviously off her hinges!"More and more people starting gethering at the scene. Finally, Police sirenes starting blasting in the air, alongside a fire truck. "Where are you when you're needed. Please arrest this girl!"The police completely ignored Taylor and walked toward Cassie. "You're Cassie right? Are you okay ma'am? Are you hurt anywhere?"Cassie shook her head. She had tears in her eyes. "Okay ma'am, let me take that from you!" he said, gently taking the items out of her hand. "Why the fuck are you being so nice, arrest her!" Taylor shouted. "Let's get you out of her." They guided Cassie away. The other officer handcuffed a shady looking man and put him in the police van. Then he faced Taylor, "Please let us do our job. This lady re
