MasukOnce inside her cabin, Hailey paced the room, her anger still boiling inside her. She tried to take deep breaths to calm down, but the betrayal, the humiliation of what had just happened, was too much. In her rage, she grabbed a vase from her desk and hurled it to the floor, the crash of broken glass echoing in the empty room.
She stood there, panting, trying to bring herself back from the edge of her fury, but the sting of disappointment lingered.
Hailey called Amber into her o
"Do you see now?" Cassian growled, his voice deadly calm but filled with fury. "Do you see what your carelessness almost cost you?"Hailey's voice trembled as she whispered, "I... I'm sorry," trying to pull her arm free from Cassian's iron grip. But her apology only fueled his anger further. He yanked her up so forcefully that she found herself standing on her feet, face to face-with him. His bloodshot eyes bore into hers with an intensity that made her heart race."From today," Cassian growled, gripping her chin tightly, forcing her to meet his gaze, "you will be locked in this room." His voice was cold, final. With a harsh shove, he threw her onto the bed.Cassian stood there for a moment, his gaze piercing her soul. Then, without another word, he turned and stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind him and locking it with a sharp click."Cassian, I'm sorry, please," Hailey murmured weakly, her voice cracking under the weight of her tears. But h
Cassian's fury was palpable, his voice thunderous as he paced in front of Hailey. "You told Lucas you were going to your friend's place! Then why the hell did I find you in that pub? Did you lie to him?" he barked, his words dripping with anger.Hailey shook her head frantically, her voice trembling as she spoke, "No, no, she said we'd go to the venue together. I didn't know it was a pub."Cassian's eyes narrowed, his rage only growing. "And who were you supposed to inform about that change of plans? Did you update Lucas like you're supposed to?" His voice was filled with accusation, his anger boiling over.Hailey fell silent, her eyes wide with fear. She didn't need to say anything for Cassian to realize what had happened. Her silence was all the confirmation he needed—she had forgotten to inform Lucas. Again.His jaw clenched, and he took a step toward her, the intensity in his gaze making her feel small and powerless. "So once again, you forget t
Cassian walked out of the meeting hall, his mind swirling with business matters. By next week, all the formalities regarding Hailey's company acquisition by Alex will be finalized. He headed to Hailey's old cabin, where he had been temporarily working, and settled into the chair with a deep sigh. As he ordered a coffee, his thoughts drifted toward Hailey.For the past five days, she had been hovering around him with a gloomy expression, doing her best to break through the wall of silence he had erected between them. He knew she had been eating all her meals on time, an effort to avoid making him any angrier. Today was Friday, and Cassian had decided to finally drop his anger. He felt she had learned her lesson, and he had plans to surprise her with a long drive later that night to clear the tension between them.Just as he was picking up a few files to review, Lucas entered the room."King, Queen called. She's going to a friend's bachelor party. She informed me
Evening:Hailey got ready, glancing at herself one last time in the mirror before heading out. She reached Fiona's house, where she was greeted warmly and introduced to a few of Fiona's friends. After about an hour, they all left for the venue of the bachelor party. Fiona offered to give Hailey a ride since she wasn't familiar with the location, promising to drop her back at her place afterward. Hailey agreed, not suspecting anything unusual.The drive took nearly an hour, and Hailey's heart sank when they arrived. The venue wasn't what she had expected—it was a notorious pub and not just any random one. The dim lighting cast eerie shadows on the gratified walls, and the loud, thumping music felt almost menacing. The air was thick with the scent of alcohol and smoke, and the people around looked far too intoxicated for comfort."Fiona..." Hailey tried to voice her discomfort, but before she could say more, Fiona grabbed her arm, dragging h
Hailey finally got up from the floor, her body aching from the long hours of crying. Glancing at the wall clock, she realized it was already midnight. Her stomach churned, not from hunger but from guilt, yet she knew that if Cassian came back and found she hadn't eaten, his anger would only deepen.With a heavy heart, she walked into the kitchen and stared at the dinner she had prepared earlier. The thought of eating made her nauseous, but she forced herself to take small bites, her mind consumed with the fear of losing Cassian's love and patience. Once she finished, she cleaned up and returned to the hall. She curled up on one of the sofas, waiting for him, but sleep claimed her before she could notice.Meanwhile:Cassian wandered the empty streets, his mind racing with frustration and anger. He knew he had left the penthouse to cool down, fearing that in his anger, he might say or do something he'd regret later. But this time, forgiveness woul
9 PM:Cassian entered the penthouse, noticing how quiet it was compared to usual. "Rose?" he called out, but there was no response. "Maybe she's in the room," he muttered, placing his things on the sofa before heading to their bedroom."Rose?" he called again, but there was still no answer. He checked the bathroom, and the balcony—nothing. "Where is she?" he mumbled to himself, dialing her number. Hearing her ringtone nearby, he looked around and found her phone on the side table.Frowning, he picked up her phone. His gaze shifted toward the closet, and with a sinking feeling, he opened the door.His eyes widened as he saw Hailey lying unconscious on the floor."Shit, Rose!" Cassian rushed to her side. Her body was cold to the touch. Without wasting a second, he lifted her gently and carried her out of the closet. Panic mixed with anger as he realized she had fainted again due to low blood pressure. He quickly called the doct
