Cassandra’s POV

The fact that I still have to work at Mr. Alexavier’s company after discovering one of his darkest sides makes it hard for me to get out of bed in the morning. If it weren’t for seeing my mother’s worried face when I came home yesterday afternoon, I definitely wouldn’t have set foot in ALX Group’s office today.

Another fact I discovered was Mr. Alexavier didn’t come to the office today.

I’ve been sitting at my desk since morning, and now it’s almost lunchtime, yet he hasn’t shown up.

Everyone in the office is working as if they haven’t heard anything about the attack at the party yesterday. Not all employees attended the cruise party, but I’m sure most of them did. The problem is, why does everything seem fine as if nothing happened?

The same goes for… Sergio.

I almost fainted when Sergio came to my desk, handing me the phone and belongings I had left on the cruise.

“I know you probably don’t want to talk about this, Sergio. But I can’t stop myself from asking you abou

  • Married On Paper: My Ruthless Boss is My Billionaire Husband   Chapter 30 Sold to Him

    Cassandra’s POVI sat limply in the waiting room, which was Monica's office after the woman had taken me out of the auction room. Monica said the other women had already been taken by their buyers because most of them were sold for 15-25 thousand dollars. They could make payments with the operator on duty there and leave without a trace, taking their chosen women wherever they wanted. However, something different happened to me.“I knew you were beautiful from the moment I saw you come in here. Even then, you were unconscious, and I couldn’t see your eyes. But I was sure you would fetch a good price at tonight’s auction. But one million dollars?” Monica clicked her tongue and shook her head. “This is beyond my expectations. No one has ever fetched that much. The most I’ve ever gotten was 100 thousand dollars, and that was when I was lucky because the only son of a winery owner was bored and decided to spend some of his money here.”I stared at her in fear. One million dollars was no s

  • Married On Paper: My Ruthless Boss is My Billionaire Husband   Chapter 29 Mr. Number 19

    Cassandra’s POVI still shook my head vigorously when I heard what the woman in front of me said.Among all the nightmares I’ve endured because of my father, I could tell tonight the worst one.“Usually, I’m not this kind to others. But you look so pitiful, so I’m making an offer.” The woman shrugged. “When I started this business, my network wasn’t as large as it is now, so 20 thousand dollars for a woman was impossible. But I can guarantee you that all the guests who come have more than enough money to buy a woman. If they don’t have that much, of course, they’ll choose to sleep with an ordinary woman who can be rented at a lower price. They’re prostitutes who are no longer that attractive. All the women auctioned here are high-quality. So the customers are more interested in the auction at my place.”“I’m married,” I shook my head, “I don’t have that kind of quality.” At least, I knew they’d probably prefer to buy a virgin woman for a fantastic price. The problem is, I just lost my

  • Married On Paper: My Ruthless Boss is My Billionaire Husband   Chapter 28 The Bastard Man

    Cassandra’s POVI might have to crown this week as the most chaotic week of my life.However, it turns out there’s still one more mess waiting for me in the daylight when I had just stepped out of my room to refill my glass with water.“Mom, I think we need to go to the doctor.” I looked at my mother with worry as I noticed her face growing even paler, her breathing becoming heavier.Among all the problems I have, I have to admit that the hardest one for me is seeing my mother suffer from her illness while I can’t do much.“I am fine, Cassie.” My mother closed her eyes and squeezed my hand. “We don’t have much money lately, so you need to be more frugal.”“How could I think about being frugal when you’re sick?” I looked at her in frustration.I found out that my father still hadn’t sent me any money even though he was supposed to, according to our agreement.That man… he must be doing this on purpose, just like he always does.“I know you’re in trouble now, which is why you’re not wor

    Christopher's POVAfter Cassandra ran away from my house, I sent someone to follow her. I also sent a taxi for her because I knew she didn’t have money and didn’t bring her phone.She left her phone and her bag in my car. So, I also sent those items to her house after installing GPS on both of her phones.“You did it, right?” Dexon, who had been sitting quietly across from me, now spoke after a medic finished wrapping the wound on my neck.“Did what?”There are so many possible meanings for that damn question, and I didn’t want to fall into a trap.“Telling her,” Dexon frowned. “You told her you’re her husband.”“Oh,” I nodded.“What do you think I was asking?” He asked again.I ignored the question and chose to focus on the GPS of the taxi Cassandra was riding.She actually went home, not stopping by a bar like she used to do when she was frustrated.“Franco messed everything up. I want you to handle his work while I figure out what to do with him.”“You’re not thinking of killing hi

    “Cassie,” Franco's voice echoed again, and the only thing I could do was cry.From the way he looked at me, I could tell he had figured everything out. The conclusion was spinning in his head, and I could see it so clearly.“Franco, it’s not what you think,” I stepped forward while Franco stepped back as if he didn’t want me to come any closer.That fact hurt me even more.I knew he felt disgusted with me.“Where were you last night?” he asked, his jaw clenched and his sharp gaze piercing me like a knife.“I…” I couldn’t find an answer. I was at this house when I first opened my eyes, and that alone answered the question of where I was last night.“I searched for you all night, trying to call you, but you were nowhere to be found. I spent the entire night looking for you at clubs and just caused a scene there because I couldn’t find you. I even went to your mother’s house to check if you’d gone home. I did all of that because I was worried about you, damn it!” He shouted so loudly tha

    Cassandra’s POVWhen I first woke up from my sleep, I furrowed my brow as I felt a strange pain in my private area.I hadn’t fully opened my eyes yet, but I could feel warmth on my back. And this usually didn’t happen... and it shouldn’t have happened.I quickly opened my eyes because a suspicion made me want to find out what had really happened.As soon as my eyes opened, I swear I wanted to scream when I realized that I wasn’t waking up in my room like I was supposed to. I woke up in a completely foreign place... one that, unfortunately, I clearly remembered because I had been in this situation a month ago.That fact alone wasn’t shocking enough; I was further startled by the movement behind me, along with the sound of a man softly snoring.Oh God...I didn’t dare turn my body now...However, when an arm moved around my waist, I could feel our skin touching directly under the blanket, and that led me to the realization that I... was naked.No...No...“What am I doing here?!” I coul

    Christopher's POVCassandra's tears were enough to answer the question I asked her.Obviously, she couldn't answer it. She covered her face and cried under me while the only thing I could do was freeze without knowing what to do now.This was my first time sleeping with a virgin. I had never done it before because I prefer experienced women to spend hot nights with me. Unfortunately, I misrecognized Cassandra when I should have been able to read her from the first time we kissed.However, now I couldn't turn back the clock.I was Cassandra's first man, and I couldn't change that. I had her first experience when she was drunk, and it was crazy. I'm sorry that she might forget this incident like she did before.Oh, I won't let her forget it then.“Open your eyes, Cassandra.” I kissed her eyelids once more.She obeyed like a puppy. Once her eyes opened, the first thing I did was to make sure she was looking at me properly.“Promise me you won't forget any of this,” I said as I looked dow

    Christopher's POVI poured a drink into my glass while my eyes remained fixed on a woman now sitting on the second floor. I didn’t know how many glasses she had consumed, but from her movements, I could tell she was starting to get drunk.Damn, she’s a mess when drunk, and I know I can’t trust anyone right now.“How long are you going to stare at her? I feel like you’re about to break Franco’s arm just because he touched Cassandra’s arm.”I didn’t take my eyes off Cassandra even as I heard Dexon’s comment. To hell with that man. Honestly, I’m here because of his mistake, too.“I didn’t leak her plan to party with Franco just to see you sitting here all night, Chris,” he complained again.“I don’t give a shit about that,” I said, drinking from my glass before pouring more.My decision to skip going to the office wasn’t enough to stop me from coming here and secretly watching Cassandra as she got drunk on the second floor.“It’s so funny how you’re watching her here like a jealous husba

  • Married On Paper: My Ruthless Boss is My Billionaire Husband   Chapter 22 The Alcohol

    Cassandra’s POVAfter work, I usually spend time with my mom before falling asleep out of sheer exhaustion. But tonight, I decided to do something different. I... didn’t know how to escape all of this and ended up choosing the most foolish thing I’ve ever done.“You need this drink to refresh yourself!” Franco said, walking toward me with a glass he got from the bartender.We were at one of the biggest nightclubs in New York. Don’t even ask how crowded it was—this place was like an ocean of people, with music pounding loudly. Franco had seated me at one of the sofas upstairs—a semi-private spot on the second floor that wasn’t too crowded. From here, I could see the dance floor, where hundreds of people were dancing freely.“I think I do,” I nodded, accepting the drink he handed me. “Is this alcoholic?” I brought the rim of the glass to my nose, grimacing slightly at the strong smell of alcohol.“Of course!” Franco poured more alcohol from a bottle into his glass, drinking it casually.
