Cassia stood in the middle of her room, staring at the neatly packed suitcase on her bed. Tomorrow, she would be leaving for an entirely new journey, and she needed to make sure she was fully prepared. She moved toward her closet, pulling out the last few items she might need. A few more outfits,
After the handshake,Cassia was given the cake and cut it while everyone cheered. She smiled and bowed in appreciation. "That's Mathew, your temporary personal assistant," the man from earlier said. Cassia nodded. "I'll give you a tour," Mathew offered. Cassia nodded again and followed him throug
After everything wrapped up, Cassia was led out of the workshop by Mr. Jeffrey, accompanied by Mathew, her assistant. In a small private room, the company had ordered her a meal, knowing she hadn’t eaten anything since the morning. "I’ll excuse myself. I’ll be back once you’re done with your mea
"Meet Cassia Sterlings," Nora introduced gently. "A promising young designer." Cassia gave a respectful bow, though her mind was filled with confusion. Clarissa hesitated before nodding, her gaze lingering on Cassia a moment too long. Nora, however, skillfully diverted the conversation, ensuring
After leaving Nora's place and arriving at her designated workspace, Cassia sat at her desk, fingers hovering over her phone. The search history was still there. Claudine Voss. "I'll leave you for now," Mathew said. She nodded absentmindedly, watching him as he walked away. Her eyes returned to
The silence went on for a few seconds before Cassia exhaled, gripping her phone tightly, as if rethinking her decision. "Are you sure about this?" Nora asked calmly, but Cassia could sense the concern in it. She knew Nora didn’t want her to make a choice she’d regret. "Yes," she confirmed. There
Cassia sat by the window, her phone resting in her palm as she gazed outside, lost in thought. Why wasn’t Liam picking up? She had been calling him since the morning, yet there was still no response. The sky had begun to turn deep orange, signaling the arrival of evening, but she barely noticed. He
"What?" Cassia pulled the phone away from her ear and glanced at the screen, double-checking that she had called the right person. Once she confirmed, she returned the phone to her ear. "So… when do we start pretending to be a couple?" His voice came through again. She blinked, gripping her phone
The moment Elara stepped out and the front door gently clicked shut, Cassia turned to Darvan with a thoughtful expression. "Do you think I was too harsh with my decision to destroy the Sinclair?" she asked, her voice calm but uncertain. Darvan didn’t hesitate. "No. It was perfect... They once dest
Like the days before, Darvan showed up at the mansion again. This time, he was holding a single lily. Cassia opened the door, arching an eyebrow. "You and these flowers..." she muttered, rolling her eyes, but still, she reached out and took it from him. "Don’t tell me you’re doing all this becaus
When they arrived at the mansion, it was exactly what everyone expected and more. Grand? No. Magnificent. The kind of place that made you stop at the gates just to take it all in. Cassia stood still for a moment, staring at the building a second too long. Of course, it was one of Master Elara Voss
Weeks passed slowly, and Cassia still hadn’t opened her eyes. Her condition remained unchanged, and despite the doctors’ efforts, there was no sign of improvement. What surprised Darvan most wasn’t just the silence, it was who kept showing up. His uncle, Martinez, had begun visiting more frequently
In Darvan’s ward, silence filled the room. Fredrick and Justin had gone to get food, leaving him alone. He stared at the ceiling, one hand on his chest, the other resting at his side. "I thought I lost her," he whispered, remembering the moment he was fortunate enough to see Cassia being wheeled i
Moments later, the forensic cleaners arrived and Liam left the scene heading straight to Cassia's firm, where he found Mira just about to leave, looking utterly exhausted. "You're still here?" he asked. "I had a lot to do. Mostly because Miss Sterling didn’t show up," she muttered, yawning. "I ne
Liam was still standing there, frozen in disbelief. The air in the house was thick with the smell of blood and gunpowder. He glanced once more at the spot Cassia's body was before it was carried out by the unknown guy, and then down at Henry’s lifeless form. His heart beat faster, but his hands wer
"I… I had twins?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper. "Yeah, " Doctor Naomi said softly. " You had twins." But Nora just stared at her. Her mouth stayed slightly open, and her eyes held disbelief...not because she didn’t trust the doctor’s words, but because everything now made painful, perfect
Henry stood upright, towering over Cassia. His hand reached down and snatched her phone from the floor where it had fallen. He looked at the screen, the corners of his lips lifting into a dark smirk. Cassia's heartbeat quickened. That was her chance...he was distracted. Without thinking twice, she
