LUCAN VALE: THE GHOST ASSASSIN Chapter 102
Cassius shamelessly lied to Seraphina and Charlie.“Oh, is that so?” Seraphina asked.“Yes,” Cassius replied with an easy smile.Seraphina’s expression brightened, her eyes gleaming with hope. She was elated—convinced that Cassius had pulled it off. To her, he was the perfect future son-in-law: wealthy, well-connected, and considerate enough to use his influence to help her struggling family.What more could a mother ask for? He was the one for Vanessa and she didn't care what her daughter or anyone else thought, but she would make sure that Cassius would be the one who got to be the son in-law instead of a bum like Jason.Little did she, or anyone else, know he was lying through his perfect white teeth.“Cassius, you're such a lifesaver.”He laughed lightly, his tone just modest enough to seem sincere. “Well… I did say I could get it done.”He was lying, calmly, confidently, without hesitation. But what choice did he have? Telling the truth now would just ruin everything. Worse, it w

The phone rang twice before a crisp voice answered."Marcus Gunn speaking.".“Hey, Marcus! It's Cassius Devereux.”“Who?Charlie and Seraphina exchnaged a worried look. If they were friends, why was Marcus being rude towards him?Cassius let out a laugh, so that it would sound like him and Marcus were really friends and the latter was just pretending to not know him. “Haha, you're always funny…. How are you, my friend?"There was a pause. A long, uncomfortable pause. Frowning, Cassius immediately removed the phone from the speaker and pressed it to his ear. "Cassius Devereux?" Marcus's voice was cold, almost confused. "I'm sorry, do we know each other?"Cassius's smile faltered slightly. But when he noticed Seraphina and Charlie looking at him with uncertain expressions, he laughed and said, "Of course it's me! Buddy, how could you forget me, when we play golf together every Sunday at the country club. Just last week you were telling me about Sterling's expansion plans—""I think you

He placed a reassuring hand on Vanessa's arm, letting his fingers linger longer than necessary.Vanessa felt a surge of discomfort.But not Cassius. He knew exactly what he was doing. The brief contact sent a jolt through him, he was enjoying it.He then went on about his connections. One would say he was bragging, but to him? He was just simply letting them know. Letting Vanessa know that she was missing out. "I've known Chairman Marcus Gunn for years. Our families have been business partners for decades. Marcus and my father went to Harvard together. We've been close ever since."Seraphina's eyes widened with hope. After hearing that his dad and the chairman were friends, she looked impressed. ‘This is exactly what we need. Jason, you can't compete with this man,’ she thought.Cassius had visited their home often enough to be considered a friend, yet he’d never mentioned his background. Now, it only made him seem more perfect for Vanessa.And it sounded like he was offering to help

His leather shoes clicked confidently across the marble floor, and his expensive gold watch caught the light as he approached.Everyone turned towards him."Oh, hey Cassius ," Vanessa replied, though her voice lacked its usual warmth. Cassius was well known to the Smith family. He had been over at their house on a few occasions.Mostly because he had been relentlessly pursuing Vanessa for months, though he'd briefly tried his luck with Morgana Smith before realizing she wasn't worth his time. His interest in Vanessa, however, had only intensified since learning of her engagement to some nobody.Seraphina had a knowing smile across her face after seeing him. She'd always hoped Cassius would sweep Vanessa off her feet, he was everything Jason wasn't. Coming here could turn out to be a blessing in disguise, after running into him. Cassius Devereux was the kind of man who commanded attention simply by existing. At thirty-two, he was the youngest partner at Devereux & Associates, one of

The next day, a sleek black Mercedes vehicle pulled up in front of the Sterling Tower.Sterling Enterprises' headquarters stood tall among the surrounding skyscrapers, an architectural titan of steel and glass. At forty-seven stories high, it wasn't just the tallest; it was the most luxurious, a silent declaration of power and prestige. Its modernist design didn't shout for attention—it simply commanded it.Vanessa stepped out of the black Mercedes, her black dress immaculate despite the knot of anxiety twisting in her stomach. She looked calm and composed, as usual, but this was an important moment for her and the Smith family. A lot depends on what happened next.Behind her, Charlie emerged from the vehicle with the swagger of a man who believed victory was already assured, while Seraphina followed with the careful elegance of someone attending what might be either a coronation or an execution.For Seraphina, this was a win-win situation. If Vanessa truly secured a deal with Sterl

Charlie scoffed, puffing out his chest with a lot of confidence. He hated the overconfidence Jason exuded all the time and he couldn't wait to humble him this time. Charlie was sure of it, that Jason was lying. “Fine, let’s bet, then,” he said with a smirk. “If this deal actually goes through, if Vanessa comes back with a signed contract from Sterling Enterprises, then I’ll get down on my knees and bow to you, in front of everyone at the next board meeting. Hell, I’ll even call you sir.”The room stayed frozen for a moment longer after Charlie agreed to the bet. The room's eyes darted between the two men, one calm and collected, who of course was Jason. And Charlie: he was the smug and daring one. The tension was almost dramatic, except no one was laughing.They were concerned. Did Charlie just say he’d kneel? In front of the board members of Smith Royale, and address Jason as ‘Sir’? Cassira covered her mouth with her hand. As much as she disliked Jason, and she would love to see h
