LOGINCassandra knows loving him is wrong. He’s older. Forbidden. Her mother’s husband. She was hired to take care of him. She never expected to crave him. George’s touch ruins her innocence, his kiss burns through her rules— and right when Cassandra finally gives in, a single threat from her mother returns to tear everything apart.

It occurred to me then that mom was probably never honest with me either when she went abroad to work.She probably wasn't being abused by her employer because they were cruel; it was likely her own fault because she was stealing from them.Our drinking session with Don George continued until we had finished almost three expensive bottles.“Don't you have a wife? I don't know anything about your life, whereas for sure mom has already told you about our past,” I asked.He took a drink before refilling our glasses, “My first wife is dead. I have two children, but we don't get along. They didn't grow up with me; they lived with my in-laws since they were little. They never even treated me like a father, but until now, they're still using my money.”I waited to see if he would say more, but he stopped, so I didn't ask further because I didn't want to be nosy, plus
CassandraMy therapy sessions with Don George went smoothly for the next few days. Luckily, exams were over and we had a two-week break, so I really devoted my time to him.Since mom rarely came home anymore, she could no longer give the old man the wrong medication, and as a result, he could now walk without using crutches. The wheelchair had even been hidden away because his strength had truly returned.“Don George, please bear with my mom. She’s always out. If she isn't with friends or shopping, she's at spas and salons. She hasn't been fulfilling her obligations to you,” I said while massaging his head.Don George opened his eyes for a moment and nodded, “It’s fine, as long as she is happy.”I felt a bit of pity for him because he seemed very genuine toward mom, whereas my mother looked at him like an ATM.“Do you know how to swim?” he suddenly asked.“Pardon?”He sat up and looked at the swimming pool, “I haven't gone swimming since we arrived here. Back in my youth, I was a swim
CassandraI knew mom didn't really love Don George and only wanted his money, but I didn't say anything and just let her be.I found out that Don George was actually sixty-five years old. My mom, on the other hand, was right at forty, so I was sure any relationship they had wasn't serious—even though he was handsome and didn't look like a senior citizen at all.“Ma, are you sure about this decision to get married? You don't even love him; what if you back out?” I said while we were inside a hotel room preparing for their civil wedding.Mom annoyed pinched me, “Keep your voice down! Of course I really don't want to, but look at how weak George is—he had hip surgery so he has trouble walking. His therapy abroad is ongoing, but I told him to hire you instead, so that way you'll have an income besides the money we'll get from him. Besides, I've completely fooled the old man; he already bought a mansion and we're going to live there. We won't struggle anymore, especially when he kicks the
CassandraOne Year Ago…Mom and I ran together to the hospital because dad was reportedly among the patients brought in from a massive car accident on EDSA.When we arrived, we were directed straight to the hospital morgue, so we already knew he was gone.“Luis!” mom screamed, hugging dad’s lifeless body.As for me, I almost collapsed to the floor out of sheer weakness. Some nurses and other people who were there crying helped steady me.The entire morgue filled with the loud wailing of the families of the victims; there were probably around a dozen bodies inside.I didn't even mind that my white uniform was stained with blood as I held onto dad’s head, which was barely recognizable.Then the police arrived and gave a statement, “The drunk van driver has been caught, but…”“But what?” asked one of the people present.The police officer shook his head before speaking again, “However, he was able to post bail because it turns out he’s the congressman’s son.”The grief instantly turned i
