Chapter 4

Cassandra 

I came to Vincent's company to meet him but his secretary said he went out for a business meeting which is of course meeting my mother so I decided to wait for him in his office. I've been sitting in his office for the past two hours but there was no sign of him. I was beginning to get tired so I decided to move my muscles as I began walking around his office. 

Everything in here looks exactly like Vincent, bland and void, there's no form of life in his office, everything is either in dark color or black. I saw a big portrait of a pretty lady smiling so brightly, her picture frame is the only form of color in this office, my legs wobbled, my heart sank and it dawned on me she is his ex wife. 

I've heard it from my mum back then that Vincent has a crazy and unstoppable love for his ex wife and that's why even though they do not have a kid together, he has refused to remarry and give his heart to someone else. His marriage to my mum was only on paper. He doesn't care what my mother does with her life or how many people she dates, as long as she doesn't destroy their public image. Vincent is okay.

I staggered backwards, holding onto the chair behind me, as reality hit me, this man would never like me not even once cause his heart is already taken by someone else, fuck….I hate this tightening feeling I feel on my chest.

So what if he can't give his heart to me? What if he cannot love any other person except his late wife. As long as he continues fucking me and I keep on getting that little warmth from him I'll be fine, I don't care if I sound foolish, or obsessed all I know is that I want Vincent to continue touching me.

I need something cold. I stood up and made my way to the door as I pulled it open I sighted Vincent coming from a distance immediately I jammed the door close and walked back in. I just needed to give him a perfect view he would never regret and a reason to fuck me again, hoping he gets addicted to my pussy someday and finds it unable to let me go.

I got on his desk, cause I was putting on a short flare skirt, so all I did was take off my panties, spread my legs wide to give him a good view, unbuttoned few of my buttons and made sure the top part of my cleavage was showing and irresistible, now I rested my hands behind my on the desk and I cannot wait for him to walk in through that door, I knew it's going to happen any moment from now.

My eyes was fixed on the door, excitement burning through me and just like unexpected I heard the creaking sound of the door as it slowly pulled open and Vincent strutted on but the moment he saw me, he halted by the door, hand still on the doorknob, eyes on me…I can see the movement of his Adams apple, the twitch in his eyes, he obviously like the sight before him.

“Hey daddy, like what you see” I suck in my fingers and was about to thrust them into my pussy

“Who the hell allowed you into my office?” His words hit me like a tornado, it was at that moment I noticed the darkness in his eyes, he hates the sight before him, 

“I Said Who The Hell Allowed You In?” He slammed on the door, as I flinched and jerked in fear, 

“Get out!” 

“Get out!” He screamed, and I immediately came down in fear and began picking up my things, I've never seen this side of Vincent before, tears brewed my eyes, I couldn't walk properly, my hand and legs were shaking, I was a mess. I was done picking up my things and just wanted to hurry out of his office but he was blocking the door, my tears fell and all I wanted was to leave.

“Did you touch my wife's picture?” He gestured at the picture on the wall, his eyes switching colors as he began to approach me, while I drew backwards in fear, 

“Answere!” 

I flinched and this time my back hit his desk and before I could recover his hand was already around my throat choking me, 

“You think she's like you or your mother who whore around and fucks any man? You think you can fucking touch her with this filthy hands of yours, huh?!” 

My eyes rolled to the back of my head, tears streaming down the corners of my eyes and life slipping away from me as I tap his hand to let me go, 

“You…you…you're hur…ting me” 

“Vincent I….” I heard my mother's voice, 

“Ohh my goodness what's going on here..!” I heard my mother's scream and the next moment she suddenly pushed him away as I fell into her arms, my eyes barely open

“What's wrong with you, do you want to kill my child?!”

“Come on baby, I'm taking you to the hospital” Was the last thing I heard from my mother as I passed out.

The beeping sound of the monitor machine beside me was enough to make me realize I'm currently in the hospital. The smell of antiseptic hit my nose as my eyes fluttered open, my mother was sitting beside me on the bed holding my hand, and dozing off.

“Mum” I called in a crack-hoarse voice, her eyes fluttered open immediately.

“My baby” She hugged me “I'm so sorry for everything baby, for not always being there for you, I've been a terrible mother I know but I can't help it baby, I haven't even lived my life yet when I had you and even now I'm still not promising to always be by your side” She pulled away from the hug, still holding my hand as she sit back down.

“Do you still think I'm a selfish mother? I know I am” She wiped her tears

“Yes you are” I nodded smiling 

“Gosh you're harsh” She pouted. 

“Hm…hm…” She cleared her throat, “I've always seen the way you look at Vincent and I've known for some time now that you liked him, I might not always be at home but I see everything and maybe that's why I keep my distance away a little to give you a chance but I've always know that dream of yours was near impossible, Vincent is crazy over his late wife, he can't see anything else but her, when I started noticing your attraction towards him I was worried about you, worried your heart would be broken”

My heart melted, it was my first te seeing myother from a different angle

“You don't hate me for liking your husband?”

“It has never been a marriage of love, it has always been a marriage of convenience and business”

“So what about you mum don't you want to find love again?”

“Sure I do, every woman wants to but to be tied down with marriage? Never, I'm okay the way things are”

“I understand” I nodded

“Vincent hasn't left his room ever since the incident that happened, he has not been to work or anything”

“He almost killed me mom”

“I know, but it's also my first time to see him so shaken up like this”

“I don't care mum, please help me move my things I don't want to return to that house, I'm moving back to my mansion”

“Baby you've always whined about how you hated living alone”

“But I've always been alone all my life, don't you think?” I narrowed my eyes at her.

“Fine but…”

“No but mum, and please don't tell Vincent anything about me anymore, I know he won't ask anyway”

“You hate him now?”

“Should I like my killer before?”
