LOGIN“You know what you have to do,” Blake said, his eyes bearing hatred into Cassandra, “You don’t like me.” “No,” Cassandra answered, she had been rehearsing how to sound nice while she rejected his proposal but it was impossible. “What?” He asked surprised “I said no, I am sorry, I can’t do that.” She muttered. “You don’t have any idea what you are signing up for, do you?” He asked, both his hands balled into fists on the table, while she watched him silently. “How much did my grandfather pay you?” He asked again and then she looked away from his magnetic gaze, feeling embarrassed. “I’m sorry, I told Mr. McKnight that I would marry you. I don’t think anything would change my mind.” She feigned confidence, holding onto her own hands to stop them from trembling. “We can just try to get along.” “Get along? What was I expecting from a gold-digger?” he asked with deep seething frustration. “You all are the same.” I wanted to ask what he meant by that but I couldn’t. “This wouldn’t be easy I assure you, princess, there would be a price to pay, a fucking expensive one.” He gets up and puts on his cap. “See you later, dear wife.” Unable to say a word she watched him storm away, her heart hammering painfully at his threat. Cassandra’s life took a total turn when her uncle forced her to get married to his partner’s grandson. Even though she was reluctant at first but then she didn’t have a choice but to agree, if there was a way she could escape her cousin, Lance. She would gladly marry even the devil because what has she got to lose?

Blake, seeing such wounds, would only give rise to doubt and further questions. Her heart lurched wildly in her chest as she tried to slam the bathroom door shut, but Blake fixed his feet in the doorway, stopping it.“I’m not done talking, Cassandra.” This wasn’t one of those days for Blake; he was beyond tired—he was exhausted and so done with all these schemes and drama that seemed to be happening backstage. In those days, the days he played the understanding husband, the husband who always took a step back as soon as he noticed her discomfort, when he stopped asking when he noticed her unwillingness. He did all that not because he was stupid, but because he was trying to establish some sort of trust in her; he wanted her to open up to him herself.He wanted her to lean on him—to know she could rely on him at any point.But seems
Lance’s eyebrows rose slightly, wondering why a woman was following him in the middle of the night, claiming to have ‘A proposal strong enough to make his engines kick.’ Was this perhaps another scam strategy? Before you know it, she begins to explain something, and then boom, you’re getting robbed.Not today. He shook his head. “What if I tell you I’m not interested?” He asked instead, there was no reason for a woman like herself to be following a man in such a dark alley unless she had ulterior motives, and right now, he wasn’t in the mood to be scammed by an unprofessional woman stalker." He proceeded on his way to his room. "Wait," Natasha’s eyes went wide as she dashed towards him and then grabbed his arms. There was a clear contrast between Cassandra and her cousin Lance. While she was small and timid, this guy was big and brooding—he seemed like he had very limited interests in life. Lance’s blue eyes quickly flickered to the part of his skin where her hands had touched
Cassandra stepped back out of both fear of being caught and surprise, and Blake’s eyes narrowed noticing the way her body shook but he remained waiting for her response. “Cassandra?” He called, and she felt herself shake.“It was an accident.” She lied, trying to control the tremor in her voice, but seems like Blake picked it up. “I didn’t look where I was going, and I bumped into something, I didn’t even know it would scar.” She covered it quickly with her hands, and Blake’s eyes narrowed in confusion, it didn’t look like a scar from a bump, it looked like someone grabbed her, and probably struck her there. His eyes narrowed, there seemed to be something wrong with her.“Okay.” He simply said as he stepped back noticing how uncomfortable she is. “I should leave for you to change.” He leaves the room, this isn’t the first time he felt something suspicious right after she comes back from seeing Lance, there is something about them that makes him uncomfortable, like their relationshi
“That is impossible.” Cassandra got up in an instant her heart pounding in her chest, it felt as though she was punched in the face by the cruel words that left Lance lips; there was hardly anything he wanted that he never got. The golden child of her uncle’s family, and that is why he is so entitled to having everything, but this time around, she doesn’t think she could ever unhand the ray of hope she now has. Blake has made life worth living, and even she could dare to say, he made life easier to live.How could she divorce him?“What makes it so?” He pressed his lips together, his other hand stroking his chin. “Cassie. What did I say about refusing me?” “Lance, I can’t divorce my husband.” She put it to him, in a more confident tone. “We are married, and your parents won’t ever allow us be together; moreover, this is wrong, we have to stop.” He paused for a while, his icy blue eyes focused on her trembling body, and then he let out a mocking laughter, Cassandra flinched slightly
“You seem sad,” Blake noticed; his cold voice breaking the silence as he reached for the mayonnaise on the table, for some reason that was his favorite bed spread, and he enjoyed it, even though most people called him weird for it. Cassandra’s eyes snapped towards him in shock, she had completely
The car slowed as it approached the grand gates of Blake's mansion. With a smooth motion, the gates parted, and they drove inside. Cassandra sat in silence, her thoughts spiraling as she tried to process what her husband had just told her.Ninety days. He was giving her ninety days to change his mind
Blake rolled his eyes, Cassandra had acted beyond his expectations, he thought she was some timid woman, who would act like he had ordered, but it seemed like she had something up her sleeves, and she wasn’t as shy as he presumed.He glared at her, but her face remained hidden from him.Well, he would
“You should smile, I don’t want the world to think that I’m forcing you to do this.” Uncle Nico said as he pressed Cassandra’s shoulder, smiling at their reflection in the mirror. Cassandra looked at herself in the mirror she was all makeup, she wore expensive jewelry, an expensive wedding gown, e
