“Its true, I just heard him and mother speaking about it”, I tell her rubbing my temples.“I cant believe, I thought he was really sick, I was fucking worried for him while he was baiting me to my death”, she speaks in disbelief.“god, how I wish now that he was really sick”, I tell her chuckling sarcastically.“by the way cassie, where are you?”, I ask her as she stays calm and I hear a heavy sigh leaving on the other line.“Am in the plane to Sydney”, she tells making my eyes go wide.“what the fuck, get off”, I tell her panicked internally.“I will, the flight....”, she was cut off by a female voice speaking “Madam please switch your phone off, the fight is taking off in few minutes”.“Cassie, no!”, I tell my head shaking as no though she couldn’t see.“cassie, you wont be able to escape when you get back to Sydney”, I tell tears almost trying to escape my eyes which am holding back forcefully.“CASSANDRA!”, I hear someone shout worried as the call cuts with a loud thud.“fuck!”, I
IVAN’S POVI decided to talk with Mr Williams as soon as I reach Sydney, I asked Lucas to book appointment with him knowing he will not appear out from his schedule. He is that kind of a man.I watch my cassandra sleeping calmly as she is a little baby, a blanket wrapped on her body as she used her front palms to hold it tight against her chest with a pout on her face is making me go crazy. I should hold on to my hormones, not thinking about her in any dirty way. She will be my wife for god’s sake.“but she isn’t your wife yet” my inner voice reminds me. Its a bitter truth that she dont want to marry me, not knowing its me but isn’t it a same thing, that she dont want to marry now. I feel bad for her as she is forced into this marriage just like me. Being the decided heir of my father’s business I was expected and did all the things which he choose for me. Studying business instead of art and perusing career in painting, I took business which my dad forced on me. Thankfully being the s

I kicked him where the sun doesn’t rise and smirked at him face grimacing in pain.“Leave me alone”, I yell at them as now people have already started to be interested on what am doing here with six body guards. Probably I might be the only person alive on earth beating my own body guards.“please miss Williams, its for your own good”, another body guard opened his mouth only to receive my death glare.“Dont tell me what is good and what not, am not a fucking child”, I tell through my gritted teeth.Two body guards gave a knowing nod to each other as one stood infront of me daring as he is ready to take a blow or blow me back. Well I didn’t expect this but I kept my poker face on and waited for his move.He took a step towards me as I did same totally concentrating on his move.

I sigh loudly and glance at my watch. “Okay, mom, I will be there”, I tell her nodding my head to my manager to change my schedule and post my meetings a hour further.Soon I arrived to my childhood home- Miller mansion. The cream walls of the mansion with tall pillars in European style with marble flooring was the home I born and raised in. This home was inherited by my father from his father and my grandfather from his. There is no doubt that masons who worked on this master piece were more skilled and used good quality material since it lasted this long. We didn’t change the major parts of this mansion but we did some changes in interiors with time to time.The beautiful

Mathew’s pov (Cassandra’s father)“I think you should tell her about the person she is getting married”, my wife tells me for the nth time till now from the day I told her I want to get her married to my friend’s son.I Sigh heavily as I struggle with my tie and leave it alone on my failed attempts. My wife chuckles softly as she walks towards me and pull me down with my collar so that she can tie it properly. The black tie in her velvety fair hands seems more beautiful than it is. I smile at her genuinely thinking how we made everything together till now. She gave me most beautiful children of the world, though I dont tell this to them, they are beautiful there is no doubt in it. They inherited their beauty from their mom and stubbornness from me. Chaerin was never a trouble maker not even in her childhood. She was my father’s friend’s daughter and I fell for her at the first sight I saw her at my birthday party.“Do you remember this is how we first met”, I ask her smirking at he
He raised his eyebrows as he took the file in his hands. I folded my hands on my chest leaning back as I started observing his every move. After reading the file thoroughly he laughed, he fucking laughed throwing his head back as if I have cracked a joke. I took a deep breath to calm myself. “am sorry, I couldn’t hold my laughter”, he stated as he regained his state. “I didn’t drop a joke Mr Miller”, I told him coldly thought my gritted teeth. He bent forward on the table as he folded the file and pushed towards me and said “I will not sign this contract”.“may I know the reason?”, I asked him trying to sound less demanding. “yes, of course”, he said as he leaned back on his chair. “signing this contract means belittling Cassandra, your own daughter, my future wife”, he snap at me hatefully. Well, this wasn’t the reaction I expected from him, Miller's are known for their deals. They stand on their word, seeing the profits they make, whether it is financial or emotional which
CASSANDRA’S POVWaiting in my room after ending up tired of all the banging on the door I plop myself on my bed. Everything is same as I left few years ago, the blue walls with white frames of photo frames hanging on the wall. No one picture contains my dad. How would it be if he spent out of home most of the time escaping from our happy moments for his own selfish goals! Two study tables with chairs are kept untouched since the last time we used them and clean. My room was Jackson and mine study room while we set up his room as play room with two pc's and speakers with our PlayStation. His room is of black painted walls with graffiti on it which we both drew when we were teenagers. I remember how our parents wanted us to have a separate playroom but we choose to make it work out like this, which our father used to complain every time when he found me along Jackson’s friends in his room. His say was that those games weren’t for me, instead of tagging him I should have a Barbi
