LOGINAfter a night of passion during her celebratory vacation, Cass disappears, leaving Marcus confused. Three years later, she is a top lawyer who gets outsmarted by her treacherous fiance. Losing a case that cost her career, the lawyer finds herself as the personal assistant to her fling. “Marry me” Marcus proposes a contract marriage. He needs to inherit his family's company to keep it out of the hands of his scheming stepbrother, and the only way to do so is to get married. He needed someone he could trust with his secret, and Cassandra was the one. With an offer she could never refuse, Cassandra was all in. After all, who wouldn't wish to know how everything became so messed up in her life? As they navigate their new arrangement, Cass finds herself falling in love with Marcus, but ex-lovers, a crazy bully and a scorned company threaten all that she holds dear.
View MoreCass didn’t remember the drive back to the Wells estate.Her mind was too loud.Too fast.Too focused on the email burning in her pocket like a live wire.You’re next.The words looped in her head the entire ride, even as Caleb’s car cut smoothly through traffic. She kept glancing out the window — scanning faces on sidewalks, cars behind them, the shadows between buildings.Every movement felt like it meant something.Every silence felt like a warning.Caleb parked near one of the side entrances and stepped out immediately. “Let’s get inside. We’ll sweep your devices in the office.”Cass nodded, still clutching her phone like it might detonate.Inside the mansion, the warm lighting and quiet hallways did little to steady her. Her pulse was a drum under her skin, loud and insistent.Caleb led her to Marcus’s home office and locked the door behind them.“Let me see the phone again,” he said.Cass handed it over. Caleb connected it to a secure cable, his face illuminated by the blue glow
Morning sunlight filtered through the tall windows of Marcus’s home office as Cass set a new stack of documents on the table. She hadn’t slept much the past couple of nights — her mind kept looping through the access logs, the technician, and every unanswered question left hanging in the air.She didn’t feel fragile anymore.She felt focused.Caleb stood across from her, tablet in hand, posture firm and attentive. Marcus leaned against the edge of his desk, arms crossed, watching her with that sharp, assessing gaze he always wore when he was worried but trying not to show it.“Alright,” Cass said, steadying her breath. “Let’s continue from where we left off.”Caleb nodded and tapped his screen.“We’ve made progress,” he said. “And things have gotten… complicated.”Marcus’s jaw flexed. “Start from the top.”Caleb hesitated before answering. “Not much on the technician, but…”He slid his tablet across the desk. A grainy CCTV still filled the screen — a man exiting the private staff entr
Cass stayed in the study long after the door had closed behind her. Sunlight pooled across the polished desk, warming her skin, but her insides resisted the calm. Relief and disbelief tangled tightly together, and beneath both lingered something she wasn’t ready to examine — something unsteady, almost dangerous.She traced the timestamp on the access logs again. Jake had been there. He had physically walked into the archive room the night before her evidence disappeared.Proof.Real proof.Finally.She breathed out slowly, pressing her palm against the page like she needed to anchor herself to the reality of it.A soft knock sounded.Cass closed her eyes. She should have known he’d come. Marcus Wells didn’t walk away from problems. He cornered them.“Come in.”The door opened.Marcus stepped inside, his movements careful, almost hesitant, as if he wasn’t sure how close he was allowed to get. He shut the door behind him but didn’t break her gaze.“Cass.”She turned, trying to keep her
Cass exhaled slowly as she set the access logs on the table. Her fingers traced the timestamp again—Jake had been there. He’d walked straight into the archive room the night before her evidence vanished. She had always known he betrayed her, but seeing it in print made her chest tighten with fierce relief.Caleb stood beside her, explaining the findings while Scar leaned over her shoulder like an overexcited commentator.“It isn’t just the logs,” Caleb continued, voice steady. “We tracked his phone location. He was within the building’s perimeter for over two hours.”Cass nodded. “Enough time to steal the files and plant the envelope.”Scar slapped the table lightly. “We finally have him. Oh my God, Cass, you’re getting your name back.”Cass swallowed hard, emotion catching in her throat. “It’s… finally starting to feel real.”Marcus watched her from across the table—quiet, unreadable, but intensely focused. Every time she lifted her gaze, he looked away a second too late.Caleb shift
